A Flexible Premium Variable Universal Life Insurance Policy

This prospectus describes the variable universal life insurance policy (the "Policy") issued by Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) ("we" or "us"), a member of the Sun Life Financial group of companies, through Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Variable Account G (the "Variable Account"), one of our separate accounts. The Policy is being offered, depending on the circumstances, as either an individual policy or as a certificate under a group policy. The substantive terms of a certificate under a group policy will be identical to those of an individual policy. In this prospectus, unless stated otherwise, the term "Policy" will include individual policies, group policies, and certificates issued under group policies. The Policy allows "you," the policyowner, within certain limits, to:

o

 

o

o

 

o

choose the life insurance coverage you need and increase or decrease coverage as your insurance needs change;

choose the amount and timing of premium payments;

allocate net premium payments among the available investment options and transfer amounts among these options as your investment objectives change; and

access the Policy's Account Value through policy loans and partial surrenders or a full surrender.

This prospectus contains important information you should understand before purchasing a Policy. We use certain special terms which are defined in Appendix A. You should read this prospectus carefully and keep it for future reference.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved these securities or determined that this prospectus is accurate or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Risk/Benefit Summary of Policy

<R>

Use of Policy

The Policy provides corporations and other entities life insurance coverage on employees or other persons in whose lives they have an insurable interest. It may be used in connection with various types of non-tax-qualified executive benefit plans.

Premium Payments

o

Generally, you must make an initial minimum premium payment equal to 1/12th of the Seven Pay Premium. If Seven Pay Premium is exceeded, the Policy becomes a Modified Endowment Contract.

 

o

Seven Pay Premium is the maximum Premium payment permitted in the first Policy Year of an unrated Policy, not involving a 1035 exchange.

 

o

o

A 1035 exchange is a tax-sheltered exchange of cash value from one life insurance policy to another.

A Policy is a Modified Endowment Contract if the Premium paid during the first seven Policy Years exceeds the equivalent of seven level annual premiums necessary for a paid-up Policy.

o

o

You choose the amount and timing of subsequent premium payments, within certain limits.

We allocate your net premium payments among the Policy's Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account according to your instructions.

Death Benefit Compliance Test

o

For favorable federal tax treatment, the Policy must meet one of the following standards-

 

o

o

the Guideline Premium Test, or

the Cash Value Accumulation Test.

o

You choose the applicable test. You may not change your election.

 

 

o

Please see the Death Benefit Compliance Test paragraph in the About the Policy section of the prospectus for Guideline Premium Test and Cash Value Accumulation Test definitions.

Death Benefit

Specified Face Amount is the amount of life insurance coverage you request.

o

If the Guideline Premium Test applies, you have a choice of two death benefit options-

 

o

o

the Specified Face Amount (Option A); or

the Specified Face Amount plus your Account Value (Option B).

o

 

o

 

o

You may change your death benefit option on any Policy Anniversary, subject to our underwriting rules then in effect.

If the Cash Value Accumulation Test applies, you will be deemed to have elected Option A, which may not be changed.

After the first Policy Year, you may-

 

o

 

o

increase the Specified Face Amount, subject to satisfactory evidence of the Insured's insurability; or

decrease the Specified Face Amount to a level not less than the minimum specified in the Policy.

Account Value

o

The Account Value equals

 

o

o

o

 

premiums and loan repayments, plus

investment performance of the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account; less

any loans, partial surrenders and Policy charges.

Accessing Your Account Value

Cash Surrender Value is

 

o

o

o

o

Account Value, less

Policy Debt, plus

any sales load refund due at surrender, plus

any Enhanced Cash Surrender Value endorsement benefit.

o

o

o

You may borrow from us using the Account Value as collateral.

You may surrender the Policy for its Cash Surrender Value.

You may make a partial surrender of only a portion of the Cash Surrender Value once per year after the Policy has been in force for one year.

A partial surrender may cause a decrease in Total Face Amount of your Policy if the amount of the death benefit minus your Account Value after the partial surrender exceeds the amount of the death benefit minus your Account Value before the partial surrender.

The Variable Account

o

 

o

o

o

o

We have established a separate account ( the "Variable Account") to fund the variable insurance benefits under your Policy.

The assets of the Variable Account are free from our general creditor's claims.

The Variable Account is divided into Sub-Accounts.

Each Sub-Account invests exclusively in shares of a corresponding mutual fund.

When you choose Sub-Accounts in the Variable Account, your benefits will fluctuate based on certain economic conditions. These conditions include, but are not limited to

 

o

o

o

o

inflationary forces,

changes in rates of return available from different types of investments,

changes in employment rates and

the presence of international conflict.

o

o

o

With such Sub-Accounts, you assume all investment risk.

A comprehensive discussion of the risks of such Sub-Accounts may be found in the underlying Fund's prospectus.

It is unsuitable to purchase a life insurance policy as a short-term savings vehicle.

Investment Options

o

o

 

 

o

 

o

You may allocate your net premium payments among the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account.

If your Policy was issued before December 15, 2002, a Fixed Account investment option was not offered but became available, via Policy endorsement, on December 15, 2002. If that option was rejected, references to the Fixed Account within this prospectus should be disregarded.

You may transfer amounts from one Sub-Account to another or to the Fixed Account, subject to any limits that we or the Funds may impose.

You may transfer amounts from the Fixed Account, subject to our transfer rules in effect at time of transfer.

Right to Return Period

You may return the Policy and receive a refund within the later of 45 days after you sign a policy application or the 20-day period (or a longer period if required by applicable state law) beginning when you receive the Policy.

What if Charges and Deductions Exceed Account Value?

Your Policy may terminate if your Account Value at the beginning of any Policy Month is insufficient to pay all charges and deductions then due. If this occurs, we will send you written notice and allow you a 61 day grace period. If you do not make a premium payment within the grace period, sufficient to cover all charges and deductions due, the Policy will terminate at the end of the grace period.

Federal Tax Considerations

Purchase of, and transactions under, the Policy may have tax consequences that you should consider. You may wish to consult a qualified tax professional prior to purchase regarding tax treatment of death benefits and surrenders.

<R>

The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you will pay when buying, owning and surrendering the Policy. The first table describes the expenses that you will pay at the time that you buy the Policy and at the time of each subsequent premium payment.

The information relating to Fund expenses was provided by the Funds and we have not independently verified it. You should consult the Fund prospectuses for more information about Fund expenses.

<R>All expense figures are based on actual expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, except that the expense figures shown for PIMCO Emerging Markets Bond Portfolio, Scudder VIT EAFE® Equity Index Fund, Scudder VIT Small Cap Index Fund, SCSM Alger Growth Fund, SCSM Alger Income & Growth Fund, SCSM Alger Small Capitalization Fund and Sun Capital All Cap FundSM are estimates for the year 2002. No actual expense figures are shown because the PIMCO Emerging Markets Bond Portfolio commenced operations in September, 2002, the Scudder Funds commenced operations on April 30, 2002 and the others commenced operations in either April or May of 2002. Therefore, they have less than 10 months of investment experience.<R>

For the year ended December 31, 2001, the investment advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive Fund Expenses to the extent such expenses exceed the "Total Fund Annual Expenses" shown in the table.

The expenses shown are for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. Current or future expenses may be greater or less than those presented. Please consult the underlying mutual fund prospectus for more complete information.

The investment advisers to the following Goldman Sachs VIT Funds have voluntarily agreed to reduce or limit certain "Other Expenses" of such Funds (excluding management fees, taxes, interest, and brokerage fees, litigation, indemnification and other extraordinary expenses) to the extent such expenses exceed a certain percentage per annum of such Funds' average daily net assets:

<R>Fee waivers and expense reimbursements for the Goldman Sachs VIT Funds are not guaranteed and may be discontinued at any time.<R>

The INVESCO VIF Dynamics and INVESCO VIF Small Company Growth Funds' actual "Other Fund Expenses" and "Total Annual Fund Expenses" were lower than the figures shown because their custodian fees were reduced under an expense offset arrangement.

For the year 2001, Lord, Abbett & Co. voluntarily waived a portion of its management fees for the Portfolios and subsidized a portion of the Portfolios' expenses to the extent necessary to maintain the "Other Expenses After Reimbursement" and "12b-1 or Other Service Fees" of each Portfolio at an aggregate of 0.35% of its average daily net assets. Absent any waivers and reimbursements, the "Total Annual Fund Expenses Before Reimbursement" for the Mid Cap Value and International Portfolios would have been 1.20% and 6.15%, respectively, for the year 2001. For the year 2002, Lord Abbett does not intend to waive its management fees for the Mid Cap Value and International Portfolios but has contractually agreed to continue to reimburse a portion of the Portfolios' expenses to the extent necessary to maintain the "Other Fund Expenses After Reimbursement" and "12b-1 or Service Fees" of each Portfolio at an aggregate of 0.35% of its average daily net assets.

Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) ("Sun Life U.S.") has applied to the Securities and Exchange Commission for an order approving the substitution of shares of the SCSM Alger Funds and SCSM Value Funds for shares of certain other mutual funds held by Sun Life U.S. separate accounts that issue variable annuity and variable life insurance products. If the order is granted, the adviser will contractually limit its management fee and reimburse the nonmanagement expenses of the SCSM Alger Funds and the SCSM Value Funds for a period of two years from the date of the substitution.

The management fee for each of the SCSM Davis Funds decreases to 0.70% as the daily net assets of each Fund exceed $500 million.

The management fee for each of the SCSM Neuberger Berman Funds decreases to 0.90% as the daily net assets of the Funds exceed $750 million.

The management fees for each of the SCSM Value Funds decreases to 0.75% as the daily net assets of each Fund exceed $400 million, and decreases to 0.70% as the daily net assets of each Fund exceed $800 million.

The management fees for each of the SCSM Blue Chip Mid Cap Fund, the SCSM Investors Foundation Fund and the SCSM Select Equity Fund decreases to 0.75%, 0.70% and 0.70% respectively, as the daily net assets of each Fund exceed $300 million.

Actual annual class operating expenses were lower because a portion of the brokerage commissions that the fund paid was used to reduce the fund's expense. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to reduce a portion of the fund's custodian expenses. These offsets may be discontinued at any time.

Each Fund has an expense offset arrangement which reduces the Fund's custodian fee based upon the amount of cash maintained by the Fund with is custodian and dividend disbursing agent. Each Fund may enter into such other arrangements and directed brokerage arrangements (which would also have the effect of reducing the Fund's expenses). Any such fee reductions are not reflected under "Other Fund Expenses" in the table. Had these fee reimbursements been taken into account, "Total Annual Fund Expenses" for certain of the Funds would be as follows:

Emerging Growth Series 1.00%

Massachusetts Investors Growth Stock Series 1.06%

<R>The investment advisor, Deutsche Asset Management, Inc. has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its management fee and reimburse certain expenses. For Scudder VIT EAFE® Equity Index Fund, the waiver and reimbursement is 0.15%. For Scudder VIT Small Cap Index Fund, the waiver and reimbursement is 0.18%. These waivers and reimbursements are not guaranteed and may be discontinued at any time.<R>

PIMCO has contractually agreed to reduce Total Fund Annual Expenses to the extent such expenses, due to the payment of organizational expenses and Trustees' fees, would exceed a certain percentage per annum of such Portfolio's average daily net assets. See Table below. Under the Expense Limitation Agreement, PIMCO may recoup these waivers and reimbursements in future periods, not exceeding three years, provided total expenses, including such recoupment, do not exceed the annual expense limit.

PIMCO Emerging Markets Bond Portfolio 1.00%

PIMCO High Yield Portfolio 0.75%

PIMCO Real Return Portfolio 0.65%

PIMCO Total Return Portfolio 0.65%

"Other Expenses" reflect a 0.40% administrative fee and 0.28% representing the estimated organizational expenses and pro rata Trustees' fees.

For PIMCO High Yield Portfolio and PIMCO Total Return Portfolio, "Other Expenses" reflect an administrative fee of 0.35% and 0.25%, respectively, and 0.01% representing the pro rata Trustee's fees.

"Other Expenses" reflect a 0.25% administrative fee, 0.01% representing the pro rata Trustee's fees and 0.01% interest expense. Interest expense is generally incurred as a result of investment management activities. The ratio of net expenses to average net assets excluding interest expense is 0.65%.

The manager has agreed in advance to reduce its fee to reflect reduced services resulting from the Fund's investment in a Franklin Templeton money fund. This reduction is required by the Fund's Board of Trustees and an order of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Fund administration fee is paid indirectly through the management fee.

 

About Who We Are

Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) is a stock life insurance company incorporated under the laws of Delaware on January 12, 1970. Our executive office mailing address is One Sun Life Executive Park, Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts 02481. We do business in 50 states and the District of Columbia. Business in New York is conducted through an insurance company subsidiary of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.). We issue individual and group life insurance policies and annuity contracts.

We are an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada ("Sun Life (Canada)"). Sun Life (Canada) completed its demutualization on March 22, 2000. As a result of the demutualization, a new holding company, Sun Life Financial Services of Canada, Inc. ("Sun Life Financial"), is now the ultimate parent of Sun Life (Canada) and the Company. Sun Life Financial, a corporation organized in Canada, is a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with common shares listed on the Toronto, New York, London and Manila stock exchanges.

 

 

The Variable Account

Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Variable Account G is one of our separate accounts established in accordance with Delaware law on July 25, 1996. The Variable Account may also be used to fund benefits payable under other life insurance policies issued by us.

We own the assets of the Variable Account. The income, gains or losses, realized or unrealized, from assets allocated to the Variable Account are credited to or charged against the Variable Account without regard to our other income, gains or losses.

We will at all times maintain assets in the Variable Account with a total market value at least equal to the reserves and other liabilities relating to the variable benefits under all policies participating in the Variable Account. The assets of the Variable Account are insulated from our general liabilities and may not be charged with our liabilities from our other business. Our obligations under the Policy are, however, our general corporate obligations.

The Variable Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") as a unit investment trust. That registration does not involve any supervision by the SEC of the management or investment practices or policies of the Variable Account.

The Variable Account may be deregistered if registration is no longer required; however, we may continue, at our election, to operate the Variable Account as a unit investment trust or other form of investment company, subject to any necessary vote by those having voting rights. In the event of any change in the registration status of the Variable Account, we may amend the Policy to reflect the change and take such other action as may be necessary and appropriate to effect the change.

The Variable Account is divided into Sub-Accounts. Each Sub-Account invests exclusively in shares of a corresponding investment portfolio of a registered investment company (commonly known as a mutual fund). We may in the future add new or delete existing Sub-Accounts. The income, gains or losses, realized or unrealized, from assets allocated to each Sub-Account are credited to or charged against that Sub-Account without regard to the other income, gains or losses of the other Sub-Accounts.

Fees and Expenses of the Funds

Fund shares are purchased at net asset value, which reflects the deduction of investment management fees and other expenses. The management fees are charged by each Fund's investment adviser for managing the Fund and selecting its portfolio of securities. Other expenses can include such items as interest expense on loans and contracts with transfer agents, custodians and other companies that provide services to the Fund, and actual expenses may vary.

Because they are assessed at the Fund level, you will indirectly bear the fees and expenses of the Funds you select. The table presented earlier in this prospectus shows the fees and expenses paid by the Funds as a percentage of average net assets. These fees and expenses are more fully described in the Fund Prospectuses.

Potential Conflicts

We, as well as other affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies, may also purchase shares of the Funds on behalf of other separate accounts used to fund variable benefits payable under other variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts. As a result, it is possible, though we do not anticipate, that a material conflict may arise between the interests of our policyowners with respect to the Variable Account and those of other variable contractowners with respect to the other separate accounts that participate in the Funds. The Funds have agreed to monitor themselves for the existence of any material conflict between the interests of variable contractowners. In the event of such a conflict involving a Fund, we will take any steps necessary to remedy the conflict including withdrawing the assets of the Variable Account from the Fund. If the Variable Account or another separate account withdraws its assets from a Fund for this reason, the Fund may be forced to sell its portfolio securities at disadvantageous prices which would negatively affect the investment performance of the corresponding Sub-Account.

 

Our General Account

Our general account consists of all of our assets other than those in our variable separate accounts. Subject to applicable law, we have sole discretion over the investment of our general account assets.

Interests in our general account offered through the Fixed Account investment option have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and our general account has not been registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

An allocation of premium to the Fixed Account does not entitle you to share in the investment experience of our general account. Instead, we guarantee that your Fixed Account allocation will accrue interest daily at an effective annual rate of at least 3%, without regard to the actual investment experience of our general account. We may credit a higher rate of interest but are not obligated to do so.

 

About the Policy

This prospectus describes the standard features of the Policy. The Policy, as issued, may differ in some respects due to the legal requirements of the state where the Policy is issued.

Application and Issuance

To apply for a Policy, you must submit an application to our Principal Office. We will then follow underwriting procedures designed to determine the insurability of the proposed Insured. We offer the Policy on a regular (or medical) underwriting, simplified underwriting, expanded guaranteed issue or guaranteed issue basis. The proposed Insured generally must be less than 81 years old for a Policy to be issued. For Policies underwritten on a medical or simplified basis, we may require that the proposed Insured undergo one or more medical examinations and that you provide us with such additional information as we may deem necessary, before an application is approved. We will issue Policies on an expanded guaranteed issue or guaranteed issue basis with respect to certain groups of Insureds. Policies issued on such basis must be pre-approved based on information you provide to us on a master application and on certain other underwriting requirements which all members of a proposed group of Insureds must meet. Proposed Insureds must be acceptable risks based on our underwriting limits and standards. We will not issue a Policy until the underwriting process has been completed to our satisfaction. In addition, we reserve the right to reject an application that does not meet our underwriting requirements or to "rate" an Insured as a substandard risk, which will result in increased Monthly Cost of Insurance charges.

Death Benefit Compliance Test. The Policy must, at all times, satisfy one of two legal standards for it to qualify as life insurance and thus be entitled to receive favorable tax treatment under applicable federal tax law. We will refer to these standards as the "Cash Value Accumulation Test" and the "Guideline Premium Test." Under both tests, the Death Benefit must effectively always equal or exceed your Account Value multiplied by a certain percentage (the "Death Benefit Percentage"). The Death Benefit Percentages for the Guideline Premium Test vary by age, whereas those for the Cash Value Accumulation Test vary by age and sex. The Death Benefit Percentages for the Cash Value Accumulation Test, in general, are greater than those for the Guideline Premium Test. The Guideline Premium Test imposes limits on the amount of premium you may pay under the Policy, where the Cash Value Accumulation Test does not.

You must specify in the Policy application which of these tests will apply to the Policy. You may not change your selection once the Policy has been issued. In general, if your primary objective is maximum accumulation of Account Value during the initial Policy Years, then the Cash Value Accumulation Test would be the more appropriate choice. If your primary objective is the most economically efficient method of obtaining a specified amount of coverage, then the Guideline Premium Test is generally more appropriate. Because your choice of tests depends on complex factors and may not be changed, you should consult with a qualified tax adviser before deciding.

Initial Premium Payment. A Minimum Premium will be due and payable as of the Issue Date. In general, the Minimum Premium equals 1/12th of the Seven Pay Premium. The Seven Pay Premium is the maximum Premium payment permitted in the first Policy Year of an unrated Policy, not involving a 1035 exchange, so the Policy does not become a Modified Endowment Contract. Pending approval of your application, we will allocate any premium payments you make to our general account. If your application is not approved, we will promptly return your premium payments.

Effective Date of Coverage. Upon approval of your application, we will issue to you a Policy on the life of the Insured which will set forth your rights and our obligations. The Issue Date is the date specified as such in the Policy, from which Policy Anniversaries, Policy Years and Policy Months are measured. The Effective Date of Coverage for the Policy will be the latest of-

o

o

o

the Issue Date, or

the date we approve the application for the Policy, or

the date you pay a premium equal to or in excess of the Minimum Premium.

Insurable Interest Requirement. You must have an insurable interest in the life of the Insured up to the full amount of insurance coverage. Otherwise, the Policy will not qualify as life insurance under applicable state insurance and federal tax law. You should consult with a qualified adviser when determining the amount of coverage and before taking any action to increase the amount of existing coverage to ensure that you have an insurable interest for the full amount of coverage.

Right to Return Policy Period

If you are not satisfied with the Policy, you may return it by delivering or mailing it to our Principal Office or to the sales representative through whom you purchased the Policy within 20 days from the date of receipt (unless a different period is applicable under state law) or within 45 days after your application is signed, whichever period ends later (the "Right to Return Policy Period").

If you return the Policy during the Right to Return Policy Period, the Policy will be deemed void and you will receive a refund equal to the sum of-

o

 

o

 

o

the difference between any premium payments made, including fees and charges, and the amounts allocated to the Variable Account;

the value of the amounts allocated to the Variable Account on the date the cancellation request is received by us or the sales representative through whom you purchased the Policy; and

any fees or charges imposed on amounts allocated to the Variable Account.

If required by applicable state insurance law, however, you will receive instead a refund equal to the sum of all premium payments made, without regard to the investment experience of the Variable Account. Unless you are entitled to receive a full refund of premium, you bear all of the investment risks with respect to the amount of any net premiums allocated to the Variable Account during the Right to Return Policy Period with respect to the Policy.

If you are entitled under applicable state law to receive a full refund during the Right to Return Policy Period, we will allocate the net premium payments to the Sun Capital Money Market Fund Sub-Account during that period beginning on the Investment Start Date. Upon expiration of the Right to Return Policy Period, we will reallocate your Account Value and allocate future net premium payments in accordance with your instructions.

 

Premium Payments

In general, you may choose the frequency and amount of any additional premium payments subject to the limits described below. All premium payments should be made payable to Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) and mailed to our Principal Office.

General Limitations. We reserve the right to limit the number of premium payments we accept on an annual basis. No premium payment may be less than $100 without our consent, although we will accept a smaller premium payment if it is necessary to keep the Policy in force. We reserve the right not to accept a premium payment that causes the Death Benefit to increase by an amount that exceeds the premium received and we may require satisfactory evidence of insurability before we accept such a premium.

Guideline Premium Test Limitations. The Guideline Premium Test limits the amount of premium you may pay per year. We will not accept premium payments that would, in our opinion, exceeds these limits, if you have chosen this test as the applicable Death Benefit Compliance Test, unless you have expressly directed us to do so. We will inform you of the applicable maximum premium limitations for the coming years in our annual report to you. In contrast, the Cash Value Accumulation Test does not impose any additional limitations on the amount of premium you may pay.

Planned Periodic Premiums. While you are not required to make premium payments according to a fixed schedule, you may select a planned periodic premium schedule and corresponding billing period, subject to our premium limits. In general, the billing period must be annual or semiannual. We will send reminder notices for the planned periodic premium at the beginning of each billing period unless reminder notices have been suspended as described below. You are not required, however, to pay the planned periodic premium; you may increase or decrease premium payments, subject to our limits, and you may skip a planned payment or make unscheduled payments. You may change your planned payment schedule or the billing period, subject to our approval. Depending on the investment performance of the Sub-Accounts you select, the planned periodic premium may not be sufficient to keep the Policy in force, and you may need to change your planned payment schedule or make additional payments in order to prevent termination of the Policy. We reserve the right to suspend reminder notices if premiums are not being paid (except for notices in connection with the grace period). We will notify you prior to suspending reminder notices. We will also suspend reminder notices at your written request.

Allocation of Net Premium. Net Premium is the amount you pay as premium minus Expense Charges Applied to Premium. We will allocate Net Premium among the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account in accordance with your allocation instructions, except during the Right to Return Policy Period as described above. You will be required to specify initial allocation percentages in the policy application.

You may change the allocation of future Net Premium at any time by submitting an acceptable request to our Service Center. An allocation change will be effective as of the date our Service Center receives your request for that change.

Modified Endowment Contract. Less favorable federal tax rules apply to life insurance policies that are defined as "Modified Endowment Contracts." One way the Policy could become a Modified Endowment Contract is if you pay premiums in excess of applicable tax-law limitations.

We will notify you if we receive a premium that would, in our opinion, cause the Policy to become a Modified Endowment Contract. We will not credit the premium unless we receive specific instructions from you to do so. If we have not received instructions within 24 hours of the date we sent notice to you, we will immediately return the premium.

Additional Protection Benefit Rider (APB Rider)

The Policy may be issued with an APB Rider. This rider provides life insurance coverage, annually renewable to Attained Age 100, on the life of the Insured equal to the amount of the APB Rider Death Benefit. You will be required to specify the initial APB Rider Face Amount in the policy application.

The cost of the APB Rider will be included in the Monthly Cost of Insurance deduction. The applicable guaranteed maximum Monthly Cost of Insurance Rates for the APB Rider Death Benefit exceed those for the Base Death Benefit.

Target Premium is the amount of premium specified as such in the Policy, used to determine our sales load charges. Total Face Amount is the sum of the Specified Face Amount and the APB Rider Face Amount.

Two otherwise identical Policies with the same Total Face Amount will have different Target Premiums depending on how much of the Total Face Amount is attributable to the Specified Face Amount versus the APB Rider Face Amount. Target Premium will be lower for the Policy which has the greater APB Rider Face Amount, which will result in lower sales load deductions for that Policy.

If you convert the Policy to a flexible premium universal life insurance policy, any related APB Rider will terminate automatically. An APB Rider will also terminate on the earliest of-

o

o

o

o

our receipt of your written request for termination,

the lapse of the Policy because of insufficient value, or

the Insured's Attained Age 100 if the Maturity Date Extension Rider is in effect, or

the termination of the Policy.

Maturity Date Extension Rider

You may elect to extend the maturity date beyond the Insured's Attained Age 100. No further premium will be accepted and no further deduction for Monthly Cost of Insurance will be made. The Base Death Benefit will be equal to the Account Value. There is no charge for this rider.

The Policy may not qualify as life insurance beyond the Insured's Attained Age 100 and may be subject to tax consequences. We recommend that you receive counsel from your tax advisor. This rider may not be available in all states.

Enhanced Cash Surrender Value Endorsement

This endorsement provides an enhanced cash surrender value benefit if you surrender the Policy during the first ten Policy Years and such surrender is not made pursuant to an exchange under Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code (or any successor provision). The benefit is a return of a certain percentage of premium paid. Percentages for each Policy Year are shown in this endorsement. The amount available for Policy loan or partial surrender will not increase due to thise endorsement. This endorsement may not be available in all states and is provided at no charge.

Fixed Account Endorsement

All Policies issued on or after December 15, 2002 include the Fixed Account Endorsement, which adds a Fixed Account to the Policy as an additional investment option. Policies issued prior to December 15, 2002 may have this endorsement at the Owner's option. This endorsement may not be available in all states and is provided at no charge. This prospectus presupposes this endorsement is affixed to the Policy.

Directed Deductions Endorsement

All Policies issued on or after December 15, 2002 include the Directed Deductions Endorsement, which gives the Owner the ability to direct from which investment options the Monthly Deductions are taken. Policies issued prior to December 15, 2002 may have this endorsement at the Owner's option. This endorsement may not be available in all states and is provided at no charge. This prospectus presupposes this endorsement is affixed to the Policy.

Death Benefit

Policy Proceeds. If the Policy is in force at the time of the Insured's death and we have received Due Proof of the Insured's death, we will pay your designated beneficiary a lump sum amount equal to-

o

o

o

o

the amount of the Base Death Benefit, minus

the amount of any outstanding Policy Debt, plus

the amount of any APB Rider Death Benefit, plus

the amount of any other supplemental benefits.

The amount of the Base Death Benefit depends upon the death benefit option in effect at the time of the Insured's death.

Death Benefit Options. The Policy has two death benefit options. You will be required to select one of them in the Policy application.

Option A-Specified Face Amount. Under this option, the Base Death Benefit is the greater of-

o

o

the Policy's Specified Face Amount, or

the Account Value multiplied by the applicable Death Benefit Percentage.

 

 

Option B-Specified Face Amount Plus Account Value. Under this option, the Base Death Benefit is the greater of-

 

o

o

the Specified Face Amount plus the Account Value, or

the Account Value multiplied by the applicable Death Benefit Percentage.

 

<R>Option B is not available, however, and you will be deemed to have elected Option A, if you have chosen the Cash Value Accumulation Test as the applicable Death Benefit Compliance Test. There is no charge related to the election of Option B.<R>

At any time the Base Death Benefit is defined as the Account Value multiplied by the applicable Death Benefit Percentage, and the Base Death Benefit minus Account Value exceeds the Policy's Total Face Amount, we reserve the right to distribute Account Value to you as a partial surrender to the extent necessary so that the Base Death Benefit minus Account Value will equal the Total Face Amount. You will not have the option of providing evidence of insurability to maintain a higher level of Base Death Benefit.

We will notify you in writing if we exercise our right to distribute Account Value to you as a partial surrender as described above. You may allocate the partial surrender among the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account. If you do not specify the allocation, then we will allocate the partial surrender among the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account in the same proportion that the Account Value of each investment option bears to the aggregate Account Value of all Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account on the date of partial surrender.

Changes in the Death Benefit Option. If you have chosen the Guideline Premium Test as the applicable Death Benefit Compliance Test, then you may change the death benefit option, subject to our underwriting rules in effect at the time of the change. Requests for a change must be made in writing to our Service Center. The effective date of the change will be the Policy Anniversary on or next following the date of receipt of your request.

If you change from Option B to Option A, we will increase the Specified Face Amount by the Account Value. If you change from Option A to Option B, we will reduce the Specified Face Amount by the Account Value. In either case, the amount of the Base Death Benefit at the time of change will not be altered, but the change will affect the determination of the Base Death Benefit going forward.

A change in the death benefit option could cause total premiums paid prior to the change to exceed the applicable maximum premium limitations under the Guideline Premium Test. The change could also reduce these limitations for future premium payments. If the requested change causes total premiums paid to exceed the applicable maximum premium limitations, you will be required to make a partial surrender of the Policy. You should consult a qualified tax adviser before changing the death benefit option.

APB Rider Death Benefit. The APB Rider Death Benefit is the greater of zero or the result of the APB Rider Face Amount minus the excess, if any, of the Base Death Benefit over-

o

o

the Specified Face Amount, if the applicable death benefit option is Option A, or

the Specified Face Amount plus the Account Value, if the applicable death benefit option is Option B.

Minimum Face Amount. Total Face Amount is the sum of the Specified Face Amount and the APB Rider Face Amount. In general, the Total Face Amount must be at least $50,000, of which the Specified Face Amount must be at least $5,000. We reserve the right to waive these minimums and to offer the Policy only in conjunction with an APB Rider with a specified APB Rider Face Amount.

Changes in Face Amount. After the end of the first Policy Year, you may change the Specified Face Amount and, if applicable, the APB Rider Face Amount, subject to our underwriting rules in effect at the time of the change. Unless you specify otherwise, we will first apply a change to the APB Rider Face Amount to the extent possible. You must send your request for a change to our Service Center in writing. The Effective Date of Coverage for changes will be-

o

 

o

for any increase in coverage, the Monthly Anniversary Day that falls on or next follows the date we approve the supplemental application for the increase; and

for any decrease in coverage, the Monthly Anniversary Day that falls on or next follows the date we receive your request.

Increases in Face Amount. An increase in the Specified Face Amount and, if applicable, the APB Rider Face Amount, is subject to our underwriting rules in effect at the time of the increase. You may be required to submit satisfactory evidence of the Insured's insurability.

Decreases in Face Amount. The Specified Face Amount may not decrease to less than the Minimum Specified Face Amount specified in the Policy. Similarly, a decrease in Specified Face Amount or APB Rider Face Amount may not decrease the Total Face Amount to an amount less than the Minimum Total Face Amount specified in the Policy. A decrease in face amount will be applied-

o

o

o

first, to the most recent increase;

second, to the next most recent increases, in reverse chronological order; and

finally, to the initial face amount.

A decrease in the Specified Face Amount or APB Rider Face Amount could cause total premiums paid prior to the change to exceed the applicable maximum premium limitations under the Guideline Premium Test. The change could also reduce these limitations for future premium payments. If the requested change causes total premiums paid to exceed the applicable maximum premium limitations, you will be required to make a partial surrender of the Policy. You should consult a qualified tax adviser before decreasing the Specified Face Amount or APB Rider Face Amount.

Account Value

Your Account Value is the sum of the amounts in each Sub-Account and the Fixed Account plus the amount of the Loan Account.

We measure the amounts in the Sub-Accounts in terms of Units and Unit Values. On any given day, the amount you have in a Sub-Account is equal to the Unit Value multiplied by the number of Units credited to you in that Sub-Account. The Units for each Sub-Account will have different Unit Values.

Amounts allocated to a Sub-Account will be used to purchase Units of that Sub-Account. Units are redeemed when you make partial surrenders, undertake policy loans or transfer amounts from a Sub-Account, and for payment of the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge, the Monthly Expense Charge and the Monthly Cost of Insurance Charge. The number of Units of each Sub-Account purchased or redeemed is determined by dividing the dollar amount of the transaction by the Unit Value for the Sub-Account. A Valuation Date is any day on which we, the applicable Fund, and the New York Stock Exchange are open for business. For the first Valuation Date of each Sub-Account, the Unit Value is established at $10.00. The Unit Value for any subsequent Valuation Date is equal to the Unit Value for the preceding Valuation Date multiplied by the Net Investment Factor. The Unit Value of a Sub-Account for any Valuation Date is determined as of the close of the Valuation Period ending on that Valuation Date. The Valuation Period is the period of time from one determination of Unit Values to the next.

Transactions are normally processed on the date we receive a premium at our Principal Office or any acceptable request is received at our Service Center. If your premium or request is received on a date that is not a Valuation Date, or after the close of the New York Stock Exchange on a Valuation Date, the transaction will be processed on the next Valuation Date.

The Investment Start Date is the date we apply your first premium payment, which will be the later of the Issue Date, the Business Day we approve the policy application or the Business Day we receive a premium equal to or in excess of the Minimum Premium.

Account Value in the Sub-Accounts. The Account Value on the Investment Start Date equals-

o

o

 

o

that portion of Net Premium received and allocated to the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account, minus

the Monthly Expense Charges due on the Issue Date and subsequent Monthly Anniversary Days through the Investment Start Date, minus

the Monthly Cost of Insurance deductions due from the Issue Date through the Investment Start Date.

The Account Value on subsequent Valuation Dates is equal to-

o

 

o

 

o

o

 

o

 

o

 

o

 

 

the Account Value attributable to the Sub-Account on the preceding Valuation Date multiplied by that Sub-Account's Net Investment Factor, minus

the Daily Risk Percentage multiplied by the number of days in the Valuation Period multiplied by the Account Value in the Sub-Account, plus

the value of the Fixed Account on the preceding Valuation Date, accrued at interest, plus

that portion of Net Premium received and allocated to the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account during the current Valuation Period, plus

that portion of any loan repayment allocated to a Sub-Account and the Fixed Account during the current Valuation Period, plus

that portion of any interest credited on the Loan Account which is allocated to a Sub-Account and the Fixed Account during the current Valuation Period, minus

that portion of any partial surrenders deducted from a Sub-Account and the Fixed Account during the current Valuation Period, minus

o

 

o

 

o

 

o

that portion of any Policy loan transferred from a Sub-Account and the Fixed Account to the Loan Account during the current Valuation Period, minus

if a Monthly Anniversary Day occurs during the current Valuation Period, that portion of the Monthly Expense Charge for the Policy Month just beginning charged to the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account, minus

if a Monthly Anniversary Day occurs during the current Valuation Period, that portion of the Monthly Cost of Insurance for the Policy Month just ending charged to the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account, minus

if you surrender during the current Valuation Period, that portion of the pro-rata Monthly Cost of Insurance for the Policy month charged to the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account.

A Sub-Account's Unit Value on any Valuation Date is equal to the Unit Value for the preceding Valuation Date multiplied by the Net Investment Factor.

Net Investment Factor. The Net Investment Factor is used to measure the Sub-Account's investment performance from one Valuation Period to the next. This factor will be greater or less than or equal to one, corresponding to a positive or negative or to a lack of change in the Sub-Account's investment performance for the preceding Valuation Period. Although we do not currently take any federal, state or local taxes into account when determining the Net Investment Factor, we reserve the right to do so.

The Net Investment Factor for each Sub-Account for any Valuation Period is determined by dividing the net result of-

o

 

o

 

o

the net asset value of a mutual fund share held in the Sub-Account determined as of the end of the Valuation Period, plus

the per share amount of any dividend or other distribution declared on fund shares held in the Sub-Account if the "ex-dividend" date occurs during the Valuation Period, plus or minus

a per share credit or charge with respect to any taxes reserved for by us, or paid by us if not previously reserved for, during the Valuation Period which are determined by us to be attributable to the operation of the Sub-Account,

 

 

-by the net asset value of a fund share held in the Sub-Account determined as of the end of the preceding Valuation Period.

Account Value in the Loan Account. The Account Value in the Loan Account is zero on the Investment Start Date.

The Account Value in the Loan Account on any day after the Investment Start Date equals-

o

 

o

 

o

o

the Account Value in the Loan Account on the preceding day credited with interest at the rate specified in the Policy as the "interest credited on Loan Account rate" of 4%, plus

any amount transferred from the Sub-Accounts or the Fixed Account to the Loan Account for Policy loans requested on that day; minus

any loan repayments made on that day, minus

if that day is a Policy Anniversary, any amount transferred to the Sub-Accounts or the Fixed Account by which the Loan Account Value exceeds the outstanding Policy loan.

Insufficient Value. If the Account Value minus the outstanding Policy Debt is less than or equal to zero on a Valuation Date, then the Policy will terminate for no value, subject to the grace period described below.

<R>Grace Period. If, on a Valuation Date, the Policy will terminate by reason of insufficient value, we will allow a grace period. This grace period will allow 61 calendar days from that Valuation Date for the payment of a Net Premium sufficient to cover the deductions from the Account Value. Notice of premium due will be mailed to your last known address or the last known address of any assignee of record. We will assume that your last known address is the address shown on the policy application (or notice of assignment), unless we have received satisfactory written notice of a change in address. If the premium due is not paid during the grace period, then the Policy will terminate without value at the end of the 61 day period without further notice. The Policy will continue to remain in force during this grace period. If the Policy Proceeds become payable during the grace period, then we will deduct any overdue Monthly Cost of Insurance and Monthly Expense Charge from the amount payable. If the Policy terminates by reason of insufficient value, there is no right to reinstate the coverage.<R>

Splitting Units. We reserve the right to split or combine the value of Units. In effecting any such change, strict equity will be preserved and no change will have a material effect on the benefits or other provisions of the Policy.

Transfer Privileges

You normally may at any time transfer all or a portion of your Account Value among Sub-Accounts and into the Fixed Account. We will make transfers pursuant to an acceptable request to our Service Center.

You may transfer a specified dollar amount or a specified percentage of the investment option's value.

Your transfer privileges are subject to our consent. We reserve the right to impose limitations on transfers, including, but not limited to-

o

o

the minimum amount that may be transferred; and

the minimum amount that may remain in an investment option following a transfer from that investment option.

We do not reserve any right to impose charges for transfers.

The Policy is not designed for professional market timing organizations or other entities using programmed and frequent transfers. If you wish to employ such strategies, you should not purchase a Policy. Accordingly, such transfers may be subject to special restrictions.

In addition, transfer privileges are subject to any restrictions that may be imposed by the Funds.

Accessing Your Account Value

Surrender. By written request, you may surrender the Policy for its Cash Surrender Value at any time. The date the surrender is processed, the insurance coverage and all other benefits under the Policy will terminate. The Cash Surrender Value is-

o

o

o

o

the Account Value, minus

the outstanding balance of any outstanding Policy Debt; plus

the benefit payable under the Enhanced Cash Surrender Value endorsement, if any, plus

the Sales Load Refund at Surrender, if any.

Sales Load Refund at Surrender is that portion of any premium paid in the Policy Year of surrender that we will refund if you surrender the Policy in the first three Policy Years.

Partial Surrenders. You may make a partial surrender of the Policy once each Policy Year after the first Policy Year by written request to our Service Center. The amount of any partial surrender may not exceed the Account Value minus any outstanding Policy Debt and will be payable in a lump sum. Partial surrenders may have tax consequences. Unless you provide us satisfactory evidence that the Insured remains an acceptable risk based on our underwriting limits and standards, the Total Face Amount will be reduced to the extent necessary so that

o

o

the death benefit minus the Account Value immediately after the partial surrender does not exceed

the death benefit minus the Account Value immediately before the partial surrender.

If you provide satisfactory evidence of insurability, the Death Benefit will be equal to what it was immediately prior to the partial surrender. After the partial surrender, the Specified Face Amount may not be lower than the minimum Specified Face Amount and the Total Face Amount may not be lower than the minimum Total Face Amount.

You may allocate a partial surrender among the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account. If you do not specify the allocation, then we will allocate the partial surrender among the investment options in the same proportion that the Account Value of each investment option bears to the aggregate Account Value of all investment options on the date of partial surrender.

Policy Loans. Using the Policy as collateral, you may request a policy loan of up to 90% of your Account Value, decreased by the balance of any outstanding Policy Debt on the date the policy loan is made. We will transfer Account Value equal to the amount of the policy loan from the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account to the Loan Account on the date the policy loan is made. You may allocate the policy loan among the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account. If you do not specify the allocation, then we will allocate the policy loan among the investment options in the same proportion that the Account Value of each investment option bears to the aggregate Account Value of all investment options immediately prior to the loan.

Interest on the policy loan will accrue daily at an annual rate of 5% in Policy Years 1 through 10 and 4.25% thereafter. This interest will be due and payable to us in arrears on each Policy Anniversary. Any unpaid interest will be added to the principal amount as an additional policy loan and will bear interest at the same rate and in the same manner as the prior policy loan.

<R>The Cash Surrender Value and the Policy Proceeds are reduced by the amount of any outstanding Policy Debt.<R>

All funds we receive from you will be credited to the Policy as premium unless we have received acceptable notice that the funds are to be applied to repay a policy loan. It is generally advantageous to repay a loan rather than to make a premium payment, because premium payments incur expense charges but loan repayments do not. Loan repayments will first reduce the outstanding balance of the policy loan and then accrued but unpaid interest on such loans. We will accept repayment of any policy loan at any time before Maturity. The amount of the loan repayment up to the outstanding balance of the policy loan will be transferred from the Loan Account to the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account. You may allocate the loan repayment among the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account. If you do not specify the allocation, then we will allocate the loan repayment among the investment options in the same proportion that the Account Value of each investment option bears to the total Account Value minus the Loan Account immediately prior to the loan repayment. We reserve the right to require that loan repayments, up to the amount of the loan allocated to the Fixed Account, first be allocated back to the Fixed Account.

Deferral of Payment. We will usually pay any amount due from the Variable Account within seven days after the Valuation Date following our receipt of written notice for payment or, in the case of death of the Insured, Due Proof of such death. Payment of any amount payable from the Variable Account on death, surrender, partial surrender or policy loan may be postponed whenever-

o

 

o

o

the New York Stock Exchange is closed, other than customary weekend and holiday closing, or trading on that exchange is otherwise restricted;

the SEC, by order, permits postponement for the protection of policyowners; or

an emergency exists as determined by the SEC, as a result of which disposal of securities is not reasonably practicable, or it is not reasonably practicable to determine the value of the assets of the Variable Account.

We may defer payment from the Fixed Account for a period up to six months.

 

Charges, Deductions and Refunds

Expense Charges Applied to Premium. We deduct charges from each premium payment for premium taxes and our federal tax obligations and as a sales load.

States and a few cities and municipalities may impose taxes on premiums paid for life insurance, which generally range from 2% to 4% of premium but may exceed 4% in some states (for example, Kentucky). We will from time to time determine the applicable premium tax rate based on the rate we expect to pay. The premium tax rate is guaranteed not to exceed 4% for all states except Kentucky, in which case it is guaranteed not to exceed 9%.

<R>We deduct a 1.25% charge from each premium payment for our federal tax obligations. This charge is guaranteed not to exceed 1.25%. The charge for federal tax obligations is referred to as the "DAC tax" in the Policy.<R>

We also charge a sales load guaranteed not to exceed 8.75% on each premium payment up to and including Target Premium (as specified in the Policy) and a 2.25% sales load on premiums paid in excess of Target Premium for each of the first seven Policy Years. Target Premium varies based on the Specified Face Amount and the Insured's Issue Age and sex. There are no sales load charges after the seventh Policy Year. We may reduce or waive the sales load for certain group or sponsored arrangements and corporate purchasers.

Sales Load Refund at Surrender. If you surrender the Policy during the first three Policy Years, we will refund 100% of the sales load charged against premium payments made during the Policy Year in which you surrendered the Policy.

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge. We deduct a daily charge from the assets of the Variable Account for the mortality and expense risks we assume with respect to the Policy. Unless you direct otherwise, we will allocate the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge among the investment options in the same proportion that the Account Value of each investment option bears to the aggregate Account Value of all investment options immediately prior to the deduction. This charge is based on the applicable Daily Risk Percentage, which we will from time to time determine based on our expectations of future interest, mortality experience, persistency, expenses and taxes. Expressed as an equivalent annual rate, the Daily Risk Percentage is guaranteed not to exceed 0.60% (0.00163894% daily) of assets. Our current effective annual rates as a percentage of assets are-

o

o

o

0.40% (0.00109371% daily) for Policy Years 1 through 10;

0.25% (0.00068408% daily) for Policy Years 11 through 20; and

0.20% (0.00054740% daily) thereafter.

The mortality risk we assume is that the group of lives insured under the Policies may, on average, live for shorter periods of time than we estimated. The expense risk we assume is that our costs of issuing and administering Policies may be more than we estimated.

Monthly Expense Charge. We deduct a flat charge at the beginning of each month to cover administrative and other expenses actually incurred. We will from time to time determine the applicable Monthly Expense Charge based on our expectations of future expenses, which will not exceed $13.75 in any Policy Month. Unless you direct otherwise, we will allocate the Monthly Expense Charge among the investment options in the same proportion that the Account Value of each investment option bears to the aggregate Account Value of all investment options immediately prior to the deduction. Currently, the Monthly Expense Charge is $13.75 per month for the first Policy Year and $7.50 per month thereafter.

<R>Monthly Cost of Insurance. We deduct a Monthly Cost of Insurance charge from your Account Value to cover anticipated costs of providing insurance coverage. This charge is made, in arrears, at the end of each Policy Month. If you surrender the Policy on any day other than a Monthly Anniversary Day, we will deduct a cost of insurance charge on a pro-rata basis. Unless you direct otherwise, we will allocate the Monthly Cost of Insurance deduction among the investment options in the same proportion that the Account Value of each investment option bears to the aggregate Account Value of all investment options immediately prior to the deduction. The deduction will equal the monthly cost of insurance rate multiplied by the Net Amount at Risk, divided by 1000. The deduction will also be adjusted to include any rider charges and any additional charges due to a substandard risk classification. The Net Amount at Risk is determined at the end of the Policy Month prior to the deduction of the Monthly Cost of Insurance and is the Death Benefit less the Account Value. The Net Amount at Risk is affected by the performance of the investment options to which premium is allocated, the cumulative premium paid, any Policy Debt, any partial surrenders, transaction fees and periodic charges.<R>

Monthly Cost of Insurance rates are based on the length of time the Policy has been in force and on the Insured's sex (except for unisex Policies), Issue Age, Class and table rating, if any. We will from time to time determine the applicable rates based on our expectations of future experience with respect to mortality, persistency, interest rates, expenses and taxes. The expenses we consider will include, but not be limited to, any additional commissions we are required to pay as a result of any additional services that a corporate purchaser specifically requests or authorizes to be provided by our agent. Any variations will be based on uniformly applied criteria that do not discriminate unfairly against any person. We anticipate the cost of insurance rates for coverage under the Policy to be less than the guaranteed maximum monthly rates shown in the Policy, unless the Insured has been rated a substandard risk. The cost of insurance rates shown in the Policy are based on the 1980 Commissioner's Standard Ordinary Mortality Table A (for males and unisex Policies) or Table G (for females) Monthly cost of insurance rates for classes of Insureds with substandard risk ratings are based on multiples of the CSO Mortality Tables described above.

APB Rider Charge. The Account Value will be reduced monthly by the cost of this rider, if attached to the Policy. We anticipate the rider's cost of insurance to be less than 125% of the guaranteed maximum monthly rates shown in the Policy for this rider. The rates are based on the 1980 CSO Mortality Table A (for males and unisex Policies) or G (for females), unless the Insured has been rated a substandard risk. Monthly rider cost of insurance rates for classes of Insured with substandard risk ratings are based on multiples of the CSO Mortality Tables described above.

Reduction of Charges. We reserve the right to reduce any of our charges and deductions in connection with the sale of the Policy if we expect that the sale may result in cost savings, subject to any requirements we may from time to time impose. We may change our requirements based on experience. We will determine the propriety and amount of any reduction. No reduction will be unfairly discriminatory against the interests of any class of policyowner.

Termination of Policy

The Policy will terminate on the earliest of-

o

o

o

the date we receive your request to surrender,

the expiration date of the grace period due to insufficient value, or

the date of Insured's death.

Other Policy Provisions

Alteration. Our sales representatives do not have the authority to either alter or modify the Policy or to waive any of its provisions. The only persons with this authority are our president, actuary, secretary or one of our vice presidents.

Assignments. During the lifetime of the Insured, you may assign all or some of your rights under the Policy. All assignments must be filed at our Service Center and must be in satisfactory written form. The assignment will then be effective as of the date you signed the form, subject to any action taken before we receive it at our Service Center. We are not responsible for the validity or legal effect of any assignment.

Rights of Owner

While the Insured is alive, unless you have assigned any of these rights, you may-

o

o

o

o

o

transfer ownership to a new owner;

name a contingent owner who will automatically become the owner of the Policy if you die before the Insured;

change or revoke a contingent owner;

change or revoke a beneficiary; and

exercise all other rights in the Policy.

When you transfer your rights to a new owner, you automatically revoke any prior contingent owner designation. You do not affect a prior beneficiary when you merely transfer ownership, or change or revoke a contingent owner designation. When you want to change or revoke a prior beneficiary designation, you have to specify that action.

You do not need the consent of a beneficiary or a contingent owner in order to exercise any of your rights. However, you must give us written notice of the requested action. The request must be filed at our Service Center and must be in satisfactory written form. Your request will then, except as otherwise specified in the Policy, be effective as of the date you signed the form, subject to any action taken before we receive it at our Service Center.

Rights of Beneficiary. The beneficiary has no rights in the Policy until the death of the Insured. If a beneficiary is alive at that time, the beneficiary will be entitled to payment of the Policy Proceeds as they become due.

Reports to Policyowners. We will send you a report at least once each Policy Year. The report will show current policy values, premiums paid and deductions made since the last report. It will also show the balance of any outstanding policy loans and accrued interest on those loans.

Illustrations. Upon request, we will provide you with a hypothetical illustration of future Account Value and Death Benefits. This illustration will be furnished to you for a fee not to exceed $25.

Conversion. You may convert the Policy into a flexible premium universal life policy offered by an affiliate, Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada, during the first 24 months after the Issue Date while the Policy is in force. Choice of a new policy is subject to our approval and will be restricted to those policies that offer the same Class and rating as the Policy. Our affiliate will issue the new policy with the same Class and rating as the Policy without new evidence of the Insured's insurability. This provision does not apply to the APB Rider, if any, or to any other supplemental benefits that may be attached to the Policy. Any riders or supplemental benefits will terminate automatically when the Policy is converted.

Misstatement of Age or Sex. If the age or sex (unless a unisex Policy) of the Insured is stated incorrectly in the Policy application, the amounts payable by us will be adjusted.

     Misstatement discovered at death-The Death Benefit will be recalculated to that which would be purchased by the most recently charged Monthly Cost of Insurance rate for the correct age or sex.

     Misstatement discovered prior to death-The Account Value will be recalculated from the Issue Date using the Monthly Cost of Insurance rates based on the correct age or sex.

Suicide. Unless state law otherwise requires, if the Insured, whether sane or insane, commits suicide within two years after the Issue Date, we will not pay any part of the Policy Proceeds. We will refund to you the premiums paid, minus the amount of any Policy Debt and any partial surrenders.

Incontestability. All statements made in the application or in a supplemental application are representations and not warranties. We will rely on these statements when approving the issuance, increase in face amount, increase in Base Death Benefit over premium paid, or change in death benefit option of the Policy. We can use no statement in defense of a claim unless the statement was made in the application or in a supplemental application. In the absence of fraud, after a Policy has been in force during the lifetime of the Insured for a period of two years from its Issue Date, we cannot contest it except for non-payment of premiums. However, any increase in the Total Face Amount which is effective after the Issue Date will be incontestable only after the increase has been in force during the lifetime of the Insured for two years from the effective date of coverage of the increase. Any increase in Base Death Benefit over premium paid or increase in Base Death Benefit due to a death benefit option change will be incontestable only after such increase has been in force during the lifetime of the Insured for two years from the date of the increase.

Addition, Deletion or Substitution of Investments. Subject to our obtaining any necessary regulatory approvals, share of other registered open-end investment companies or unit investment trusts may be substituted both for fund shares already purchased by the Variable Account and/or as the security to be purchased in the future. In addition, the investment policies of the Sub-Accounts will not be changed without the approval of the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Delaware. We also reserve the right to eliminate or combine existing Sub-Accounts or to transfer assets between Sub-Accounts. In the event of any substitution or other act described above, we may make appropriate amendment to the Policy to reflect the substitution.

Nonparticipating. The Policy does not pay dividends. The Policy does not share in our profits or surplus earnings.

Modification. Upon notice to you, we may modify the Policy if that modification-

o

 

o

 

o

o

is necessary to make the Policy, the Variable Account or the Fixed Account comply with any law or regulation issued by a governmental agency to which we are subject;

is necessary to assure continued qualification of the Policy under the Internal Revenue Code or other federal or state laws as a life insurance policy;

is necessary to reflect a change in the operation of the Variable Account or the Sub-Accounts; or

adds, deletes or otherwise changes Sub-Account options.

We also reserve the right to modify certain provisions of the Policy as stated in those provisions. In the event of any such modification, we may make appropriate amendment to the Policy to reflect the modification.

Entire Contract. Your entire contract with us consists of the Policy, the application(s), any riders, any endorsements, and any other attachments. Any hypothetical illustrations prepared in connection with the Policy do not form a part of our contract with you and are intended solely to provide information about how Policy values may be affected by different investment returns and other factors.

 

Performance Information

<R>From time to time, we may advertise total return and average annual total return of the Funds. This performance information, presented in sales literature, is based on historical earnings and is not intended to indicate future performance. Total return for a Fund refers to the total of the income generated by the Fund net of total operating expenses plus capital gains and losses, realized or unrealized, for the Fund. Total return for the Variable Sub-Accounts refers to the total of the income generated by the Fund net of total operating expenses plus capital gains and losses, realized or unrealized, for the Fund and net of the mortality and expense risk charge. Other charges, fees and expenses payable under the Policy are not deducted from the performance information. Average annual total return reflects the hypothetical annually compounded return that would have produced the same cumulative return if the Fund's or Sub-Account's performance had been constant over the entire period. Because average annual total returns tend to smooth out variations in the return of the Fund or Sub-Account, they are not the same as actual year-by-year results.<R>

We may compare performance information in reports and promotional literature, to-

o

 

 

o

 

 

 

o

the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index or other unmanaged indices so that investors may compare the Sub-Account results with those of a group of unmanaged securities widely regarded by investors as representative of the securities markets in general;

other groups of variable life separate accounts or other investment products tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, a widely used independent research firm which ranks mutual funds and other investment products by overall performance, investment objectives, and assets, or tracked by other services, companies, publications, or persons, such as Morningstar, Inc., who rank such investment products on overall performance or other criteria; or

the Consumer Price Index (a measure for inflation) to assess the real rate of return from an investment in the Sub-Account.

Unmanaged indices may assume the reinvestment of dividends but generally do not reflect deductions for administrative and management costs and expenses.

We may provide in advertising, sales literature, periodic publications or other materials information on various topics of interest to policyowners and prospective policyowners. Topics may include-

o

 

 

o

o

o

o

the relationship between sectors of the economy and the economy as a whole and its effect on various securities markets, investment strategies and techniques (such as value investing, market timing, dollar cost averaging, asset allocation, constant ratio transfer and account rebalancing);

the advantages and disadvantages of investing in tax-deferred and taxable investments;

customer profiles and hypothetical purchase and investment scenarios;

financial management and tax and retirement planning; and

investment alternatives to certificates of deposit and other financial instruments, including comparisons between the Policy and the characteristics of and market for such financial instruments.

The Policy was first offered to the public in 1997. We may, however, advertise return data based on the period of time that the Funds have been in existence. The results for any period prior to the time the Policy was first publicly offered will be calculated as if the Policy had been offered during that period of time.

 

Voting Rights

We will vote shares of the Funds held in the Variable Account in accordance with instructions received from policyowners having a voting interest in the corresponding Sub-Accounts, to the extent required by law. We will provide each policyowner who has a voting interest in a Sub-Account with the proxy materials of the corresponding Fund, together with an appropriate form for the policyowner to submit its voting instructions to us. We will vote shares for which we receive no timely instructions, together with shares not attributable to any Policy, in the same proportion as those shares held by the Sub-Account for which we receive instructions.

We will determine the number of shares for which you are entitled to provide voting instructions as of the record date established for the applicable Fund. This number is determined by dividing your Account Value in the Sub-Account, if any, by the net asset value of one share in the corresponding Fund.

We may, if required by state insurance regulators, disregard voting instructions if the instructions require shares to be voted to cause a change in the subclassification or investment objective of one or more of the Funds, or to approve or disapprove an investment advisory contract for a Fund. In addition, we may disregard voting instructions in favor of any change in the investment policies or in any investment adviser or principal underwriter of a Fund. Our disapproval of any such change must be reasonable and, in the case of change in investment policies or investment adviser, based on a good faith determination that the change would be contrary to state law or otherwise inappropriate in light of the objectives and purposes of the Fund. If we disregard voting instructions, we will include a summary of and the reasons for that action in our next periodic report to policyowners.

We reserve the right to vote shares held in the Variable Account in our own right, if permitted by applicable law.

 

Distribution of Policy

We will offer the Policy only in jurisdictions where the Policy may be lawfully sold. The Policy may be sold only by persons who are licensed insurance agents under applicable state law and who are licensed by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD") to sell variable insurance contracts as a registered representative of a broker-dealer which has entered into a distribution agreements with us and our general distributor, Clarendon Insurance Agency, Inc., one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Clarendon is a registered broker-dealer and member of the NASD. Clarendon's principal business offices are located at One Sun Life Executive Park, Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts 02481.

We may pay registered broker-dealers commissions in connection with sales of the Policy, and we may pay bonuses, as well as expense and training allowances. The maximum commission payable will be 40% of premium paid in the first Policy Year and 15% of premium paid in Policy Years two through seven. We may also pay a commission of-

o

up to 0.15% of Account Value for Policy Years one through twenty; and

 

 

o

up to 0.10% of Account Value thereafter.

We may also pay up to an additional 0.15% per annum to broker-dealers who provide additional services specifically requested or authorized by corporate purchasers.

 

 

Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following is a summary of our understanding of current federal income tax laws and is not intended as tax advice. You should be aware that Congress has the power to enact legislation affecting the tax treatment of life insurance contracts which could be applied retroactively. New judicial or administrative interpretation of federal income tax law may also affect the tax treatment of life insurance contracts. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), is not in force in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Accordingly, some references in this summary will not apply to Policies issued in Puerto Rico. Any person contemplating the purchase of a Policy or any transaction involving a Policy should consult a qualified tax adviser. We do not make any representation or provide any guarantee regarding the federal, state or local tax treatment of any Policy or any transaction involving a Policy.

Our Tax Status

We are taxed as a life insurance company under Subchapter L of the Code. Although we account for the operations of the Variable Account separately from our other operations for purposes of federal income taxation, the Variable Account currently is not separately taxable as a regulated investment company or other taxable entity.

Taxes we pay, or reserve for, that are attributable to the earnings of the Variable Account could affect the Net Investment Factor, which in turn affects your Account Value. Under existing federal income tax law, however, the income (consisting primarily of interest, dividends and net capital gains) of the Variable Account, to the extent applied to increase reserves under the Policy, is not taxable to us. Similarly, no state or local income taxes are currently attributable to the earnings of the Variable Account. Therefore, we do not take any federal, state or local taxes into account when determining the Net Investment Factor. We may take taxes into account when determining the Net Investment Factor in future years if, due to a change in law, our tax status or otherwise, such taxes are attributable to the earnings of the Variable Account.

Taxation of Policy Proceeds

Section 7702 of the Code provides certain tests for whether a policy will be treated as a "life insurance contract" for tax purposes. Provided that the policyowner of the Policy has an insurable interest in the Insured, we believe that the Policy meets these tests, and thus should receive the same federal income tax treatment as a fixed life insurance contract. As such, the Death Benefit under the Policy will generally be eligible for exclusion from the gross income of the beneficiary under Section 101 of the Code, and the policyowner will not be deemed to be in constructive receipt of the increases in Cash Surrender Values, including additions attributable to interest, dividends, appreciation or gains realized upon transfers among the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account, until actual receipt thereof. However, you will be taxed on all of the accumulated income under the Policy on its maturity date and there can be no assurance than an election to extend the maturity date of the Policy will avoid that result. In addition, a corporate owner may be subject to alternative minimum tax on the annual increases in Cash Surrender Values and on the portion of the Death Benefit under the Policy that exceeds its Cash Surrender Value.

To qualify as a life insurance contract under Section 7702, the Policy must satisfy certain actuarial requirements. Section 7702 requires that actuarial calculations be based on mortality charges that meet the "reasonable mortality charge" requirements set forth in the Code, and other charges reasonably expected to be actually paid that are specified in the Policy. The law relating to reasonableness standards for mortality and other charges is based on statutory language and certain IRS pronouncements that do not address all relevant issues. Accordingly, although we believe that the mortality and other charges that are used in the calculations (including those used with respect to Policies issued to so-called "sub-standard risks") meet the applicable requirements, we cannot be certain. It is possible that future regulations will contain standards that would require us to modify the mortality and other charges used in the calculations, and we reserve the right to make any such modifications.

For a variable contract like the Policy to qualify as life insurance for federal income tax purposes, it also must comply with the investment diversification rules found in Section 817 of the Code. We believe that the Variable Account complies with the diversification requirements prescribed by Section 1.817-5 of the Treasury Regulations. We also believe that the policyowner does not have excessive control over the assets underlying the Policy that would cause the policyowner to be treated as owning the investments underlying the Policy for federal income tax purposes. If guidelines are adopted which would treat the policyowner as having excessive control over the investments underlying the Policy, we will take any action (including modification of the Policy or the Variable Account) necessary to comply with the guidelines.

The tax consequences of distributions from, and loans taken from or secured by, a Policy depend on whether the Policy is classified as a Modified Endorsement Contract under Section 7702A of the Code. Due to the flexibility of the payment of premiums and other rights you have under the Policy, classification of the Policy as a Modified Endowment Contract will depend upon the individual operation of each Policy. A Policy is a Modified Endowment Contract if the aggregate amount paid under the Policy at any time during the first seven Policy Years exceeds the sum of the net level premiums that would have been paid on or before such time if the Policy provided for paid up future benefits after the payment of seven level annual premiums. If there is a reduction in benefits during the first seven Policy Years, the foregoing computation is made as if the Policy originally had been issued at the reduced benefit level. If there is a "material change" to the Policy, the seven year testing period for Modified Endowment Contract status is restarted. A life insurance contract received in exchange for a Modified Endowment Contract also will be treated as a Modified Endowment Contract.

We have undertaken measures to prevent payment of a premium from inadvertently causing the Policy to become a Modified Endowment Contract. In general, you should consult a qualified tax adviser before undertaking any transaction involving the Policy to determine whether such a transaction would cause the Policy to become a Modified Endowment Contract.

If a Policy is not a Modified Endowment Contract, cash distributions from the Policy are treated first as a nontaxable return of the owner's "Investment in the Policy" and then as a distribution of the income earned under the Policy, which is subject to tax. (An exception to this general rule occurs when a cash distribution is made in connection with certain reductions in the death benefit under the Policy in the first fifteen contract years. Such a cash distribution is taxed in whole or in part as ordinary income.) Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a Modified Endowment Contract generally are treated as bona fide indebtedness, and thus are not included in the owner's gross income.

If a Policy is a Modified Endowment Contract, distributions from the Policy are treated as ordinary income subject to tax up to the amount equal to the excess of the Account Value (which includes unpaid policy loans) immediately before the distribution over the Investment in the Policy. Loans taken from, or secured by, such a Policy, as well as due but unpaid interest thereon, are taxed in the same manner as distributions from the Policy. A 10 percent additional tax is imposed on the portion of any distribution from, or loan taken from or secured by, a Modified Endowment Contract that is included in income except when the distribution or loan is made on or after the owner attains age 59 1/2, is attributable to the policyowner's becoming disabled, or is part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments for the life (or life expectancy) of the policyowner or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies ) of the policyowner and the policyowner's Beneficiary. These exceptions are not likely to apply where the Policy is not owned by an individual (or held in trust for an individual). For purposes of the computations described in this paragraph, all Modified Endowment Contracts issued by us (or our affiliates) to the same policyowner during any calendar year are treated as one Modified Endowment Contract.

There are substantial limits on the deductibility of policy loan interest. You should consult a qualified tax adviser regarding such deductions.

Upon the complete maturity, surrender or lapse of the Policy, the amount by which the sum of the Policy's Cash Surrender Value and any unpaid Policy Debt exceeds the policyowner's "Investment in the Policy" (as defined above) is treated as ordinary income subject to tax. Any loss incurred upon surrender generally is not deductible. Any corporation that is subject to the alternative minimum tax will also have to make a separate computation of the Investment in the Policy and the gain resulting from the maturity of the Policy, or a surrender or lapse of the Policy for purposes of that tax.

The term "Investment in the Policy" means-

o

o

 

o

the aggregate amount of any premiums or other consideration paid for a Policy, minus

the aggregate amount received under the Policy which is excluded from the owner's gross income (other than loan amounts), plus

the amount of any loan from, or secured by, the Policy that is a Modified Endowment Contract (as defined below) to the extent that such amount is included in the policyowner's gross income.

The "Investment in the Policy" is increased by any unpaid Policy Debt on a Policy that is a Modified Endowment Contract in order to prevent double taxation of income. Since the Policy Debt was treated as a taxable distribution at the time the Policy Debt was incurred, the failure to increase the "Investment in the Policy" by the Policy Debt would cause such amount to be taxed again upon a Policy surrender or lapse.

The amount realized that is taken into account in computing the gain on the complete surrender or lapse of a Policy will include any unpaid Policy Debt on a Policy that is a Modified Endowment Contract even though that amount has already been treated as a taxable distribution.

If a Policy is not a Modified Endowment Contract, then the Investment in the Policy is not affected by the receipt of a loan from, or secured by a Policy.

Whether or not the Policy is a Modified Endowment Contract, however, no payment of the principal of, or the interest due under, any loan from or secured by a Policy will affect the amount of the Investment in the Policy.

A policyowner generally will not recognize gain upon the exchange of the Policy for another life insurance policy issued by us or another insurance company, except to the extent that the policyowner receives cash in the exchange or is relieved of policy indebtedness as a result of the exchange. In no event will the gain recognized exceed the amount by which the Policy's Account Value (which includes unpaid policy loans) exceeds the policyowner's Investment in the Policy.

A transfer of the Policy, a change in the policyowner, a change in the beneficiary, certain other changes to the Policy and particular uses of the Policy (including use in a so called "split-dollar" arrangement) may have tax consequences depending upon the particular circumstances and should not be undertaken prior to consulting with a qualified tax adviser. For instance, if you transfer the Policy or designate a new policyowner in return for valuable consideration (or, in some cases, if the transferor is relieved of a liability as a result of the transfer), then the Death Benefit payable upon the death of the Insured may in certain circumstances be includible in your taxable income to the extent that the Death Benefit exceeds the prior consideration paid for the transfer and any premiums and other amounts paid later by the transferee. Further, in such a case, if the consideration received exceeds your Investment in the Policy, the difference will be taxed to you as ordinary income.

Federal, as well as state and local, estate, inheritance and other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of Policy Proceeds will depend on your individual circumstances and those of the beneficiary.

THE COMPANY AND THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT

The Company is a stock life insurance company incorporated under the laws of Delaware on January 12, 1970. Our executive office mailing address is One Sun Life Executive Park, Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts 02481. We do business in 50 states and the District of Columbia and we have an insurance company subsidiary that does business in New York. We are an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada ("Sun Life (Canada)"). Sun Life (Canada) completed its demutualization on March 22, 2000. As a result of the demutualization, a new holding company, Sun Life Financial Services of Canada, Inc. ("Sun Life Financial"), is now the ultimate parent of Sun Life (Canada) and the Company.

Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Variable Account G was established in accordance with Delaware law on July 25, 1996 and is registered as a unit investment trust.

 

CUSTODIAN

We are the Custodian of the assets of the Variable Account. We will purchase Fund shares at net asset value in connection with amounts allocated to the Sub-Accounts in accordance with your instructions, and we will redeem Fund shares at net asset value for the purpose of meeting the contractual obligations of the Variable Account, paying charges relative to the Variable Account or making adjustments for reserves held in the Variable Account.

 

ACCOUNTANTS

The Financial Statements of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) and Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Variable Account G for the year ended December 31, 2001 included in this Statement of Additional Information have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent auditors, as stated in their report appearing herein, and are included in reliance upon the report of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.

 

DISTRIBUTION AND UNDERWRITING OF THE POLICY

<R>Policies, offered on a continuous basis, are sold by licensed insurance agents in those states where the Policy may be lawfully sold. Such agents will be registered representatives of broker-dealers registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 who are members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and who have entered into distribution agreements with the Company and the general distributor and principal underwriter of the Policies, Clarendon Insurance Agency, Inc. ("Clarendon"), One Sun Life Executive Park, Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts 02481. Clarendon is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Clarendon is registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a broker-dealer and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Clarendon also acts as the general distributor of annuity contracts issued by the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York, and other variable life insurance policies issued by the Company. Clarendon retains no monies for its services rendered in the distribution and underwriting of the policies.<R>

We may pay registered broker-dealers commissions in connection with sales of the Policy, and we may pay bonuses, as well as expense and training allowances. The maximum commission payable will be 40% of premium paid in the first Policy Year and 15% of premium paid in Policy Years two through seven. We may also pay a commission of-

o

o

up to 0.15% of Account Value for Policy Years one through twenty; and

up to 0.10% of Account Value thereafter.

 

THE POLICY

To apply for a Policy, you must submit an application to our Principal Office. We will then follow underwriting procedures designed to determine the insurability of the proposed Insured. We offer the Policy on a regular (or medical) underwriting, simplified underwriting, expanded guaranteed issue or guaranteed issue basis. The proposed Insured generally must be less than 81 years old for a Policy to be issued. For Policies underwritten on a medical or simplified basis, we may require that the proposed Insured undergo one or more medical examinations and that you provide us with such additional information as we may deem necessary, before an application is approved. We will issue Policies on an expanded guaranteed issue or guaranteed issue basis with respect to certain groups of Insureds. Policies issued on such basis must be pre-approved based on information you provide to us on a master application and on certain other underwriting requirements which all members of a proposed group of Insureds must meet. Proposed Insureds must be acceptable risks based on our underwriting limits and standards. We will not issue a Policy until the underwriting process has been completed to our satisfaction. In addition, we reserve the right to reject an application that does not meet our underwriting requirements or to "rate" an Insured as a substandard risk, which will result in increased cost of insurance charges. The cost of insurance charges are based on the 1980 Commissioner's Standard Ordinary Mortality Table A (for males and unisex Policies) or Table G (for females)

Expense Charges Applied to Premium. We deduct charges from each premium payment for premium taxes and our federal tax obligations and as a sales load.

States and a few cities and municipalities may impose taxes on premiums paid for life insurance. We will from time to time determine the applicable premium tax rate based on the rate we expect to pay. The premium tax rate is guaranteed not to exceed 4% for all states except Kentucky, in which case it is guaranteed not to exceed 9%.

We deduct a 1.25% charge from each premium payment for our federal tax obligations. This charge is guaranteed not to exceed 1.25%.

We also charge a sales load guaranteed not to exceed 8.75% on each premium payment up to and including Target Premium (as specified in the Policy) and a 2.25% sales load on premiums paid in excess of Target Premium for each of the first seven Policy Years. Target Premium varies based on the Specified Face Amount and the Insured's Issue Age and sex. There are no sales load charges after the seventh Policy Year. We may reduce or waive the sales load for certain group or sponsored arrangements and corporate purchasers.

Sales Load Refund at Surrender. If you surrender the Policy during the first three Policy Years, we will refund 100% of the sales load charged against premium payments made during the Policy Year in which you surrendered the Policy.

Reduction of Charges. We reserve the right to reduce any of our charges and deductions in connection with the sale of the Policy if we expect that the sale may result in cost savings, subject to any requirements we may from time to time impose. We may change our requirements based on experience. We will determine the propriety and amount of any reduction. No reduction will be unfairly discriminatory against the interests of any class of policyowner. Additional information may be obtained by calling the Company at 1-888-594-2654.

Increase in Face Amount. After the first policy anniversary, you may request an increase in the Specified Face Amount. You must provide satisfactory evidence of the Insured's insurability. Once requested, an increase will become effective at the next policy anniversary following our approval of your request. The Policy does not allow for an increase if the Insured's Attained Age is greater than 80 on the effective date of the increase.

If there are increases in the Specified Face Amount other than increases caused by changes in the death benefit option, the cost of insurance charge is determined separately for the initial Specified Face Amount and each increase in the Specified Face Amount. In calculating the net amount at risk, your Account Value will first be allocated to the initial death benefit and then to each increase in the Specified Face Amount in the order in which the increases were made.

Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Variable Account G

Notes to Financial Statements

(1) Organization

Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Variable Account G (the ''Variable Account''), a separate account of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) (the ''Sponsor''), was established on July 25, 1996 as a funding vehicle for the variable portion of certain individual variable life insurance contracts. The Variable Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a unit investment trust.

The assets of the Variable Account are divided into Sub-Accounts. Each Sub-Account is invested in shares of a single corresponding investment portfolio of one of the following mutual funds: MFS/Sun Life Series Trust, Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund, Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund II, Neuberger Berman Advisers Management Trust, J.P. Morgan Series Trust II, Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust, Dreyfus Variable Investment Fund, Dreyfus Stock Index Fund, T. Rowe Price Equity Series, Inc., AIM Variable Insurance Funds, Sun Capital Advisers Trust, Lord Abbett Series Fund, Rydex Variable Trust, The Alger American Fund, Alliance Variable Products Series Fund, Inc., Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust, and INVESCO Variable Investment Funds, Inc., (the ''Funds''). Massachusetts Financial Services Company, an affiliate of the Sponsor, is investment adviser to MFS/Sun Life Series Trust. Sun Capital Advisers, Inc., an affiliate of the Sponsor, is the investment adviser to Sun Capital Advisers Trust. During 2000, the Templeton Stock Fund was closed and the funds were moved to the Templeton Growth Securities Fund.

The Variable Account exists in accordance with the regulations of the Delaware state insurance department. Under applicable insurance laws, the assets and liabilities of the Variable Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the Sponsor's other assets and liabilities. Assets applicable to the Variable Account are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business the Sponsor may conduct.

(2) Significant Accounting Policies

General

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Sponsor's 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 amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting

period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassification

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.

Investment Valuations

Investments in shares of an investment portfolio of the mutual funds are recorded at their net asset value. The Funds value their investment securities at fair value. Transactions are recorded on a trade date basis.

Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Variable Account G

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

(2) Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Realized gains and losses on sales of shares of the Funds are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income and capital gain distributions received by the Sub-Accounts are reinvested in additional Fund shares and are recognized on the ex-dividend date.

Exchanges between Sub-Accounts requested by contract owners are recorded in the new Sub-Account upon receipt of the redemption proceeds.

Federal Income Tax Status

The operations of the Variable Account are part of the operations of the Sponsor and are not taxed separately. The Variable Account is not taxed as a regulated investment company. The Sponsor qualifies for the federal income tax treatment granted to life insurance companies under Subchapter L of the Internal Revenue Code. Under existing federal income tax law, investment income and capital gains earned by the Variable Account on contract owner reserves are not taxable, and therefore, no provision has been made for federal income taxes.

(3) Expenses and Related Party Transactions

The Sponsor deducts expense charges applied to premium consisting of the premium tax, the federal Deferred Acquisition Cost (''DAC'') tax and the sales load. The premium tax varies by state but in general will range from 2% to 4% of the premium in most states (Kentucky charges 7%). The DAC tax charge is 1.25% of the premium. The sales load is 8.75% of the premium up to target premium and 2.25% of the premium in excess of the target premium. A portion of the sales load is refunded for surrenders in the first three policy years. These expense charges are deducted from the premium before being allocated by Sub-Account. The total sales loads were $1,986,355 in 2001.

The Sponsor deducts certain charges from the account value of each contract, through the cancellation of units, on a monthly basis. A monthly expense charge of $13.75 per policy at the beginning of each month during the first policy year and $7.50 for months thereafter is deducted to recover certain administration expenses. The Sponsor also deducts a charge at the end of each policy month for providing life insurance protection. This charge will be based upon the Sponsor's expectations of future mortality, persistency, interest rates, expenses and taxes. However, the maximum rates for the base death benefit for insureds that are not rated substandard risks will not exceed those based on the 1980 CSO Mortality Tables, and the maximum rates for the APB rider death benefit for similar insureds will not exceed those based on 125% of the 1980 CSO Mortality Table.

The Sponsor deducts certain charges from the account value of each contract at the end of each valuation period for the mortality and expense risks assumed by the Sponsor. The mortality and expense risk charge varies dependent upon the rates defined in the underlying insurance contract. The daily deduction currently ranges between 0.0010937% and 0.0016389% (which is equivalent to an annual rate between 0.40% and 0.60%, respectively) for policies in their first ten policy years, between 0.0005474% and 0.0006841%.

(1) These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the Sub-Account from the underlying mutual fund, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that result in direct reductions in the unit values. The recognition of investment income by the Sub-Account is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the Sub-Accounts invest.

(2) These ratios represent the annualized contract expenses of the separate account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to Policy owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying fund are excluded.

(3) These amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund, and reflect deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units; inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented. Investment options with a date notation indicate the effective date of that investment option in the variable account. The total return is calculated for the period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period.

These financial statements are the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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. Our procedures included confirmation of securities held at December 31, 2001 by correspondence with the custodian. 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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Sub-Accounts at December 31, 2001, the results of their operations and the changes in their net assets for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

SUN LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY OF CANADA (U.S.)

(A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Holdings, Inc.)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):

On March 12, 2001, the Company purchased Vision Financial Corporation for approximately $5.0 million and acquired approximately $1.6 million of goodwill. Vision Financial Corporation, based in Keene, N.H., is a third-party administrator that specializes in the administration of insurance products sold at the worksite. The Company has recorded the acquisition using the purchase method of accounting. The results of operations of Vision Financial Corporation for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 were not material to the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2000, the Company sold Sun Life Information Services Ireland, Limited to Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada. Sun Life Information Services Ireland, Limited provides information systems development services to Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada and its subsidiaries.

During 1999, the Company sold two of its subsidiaries, Massachusetts Casualty Insurance Company ("MCIC") (sold February 1999) and New London Trust F.S.B. ("NLT") (sold October 1999). MCIC is a life insurance company that issues only individual disability income policies. NLT is a federally chartered savings bank, which grants commercial, residential real estate and installment loans. The results of operations of MCIC and NLT are reported as discontinued operations.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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. The most significant estimates are those used in determining deferred policy acquisition costs, investment allowances and the liabilities for future policyholder benefits. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain amounts in the prior years' financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2001 presentation.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into transactions involving various types of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, investments such as fixed maturities, mortgage loans and equity securities, off balance sheet financial instruments, debt, loan commitments and financial guarantees. These instruments involve credit risk and also may be subject to risk of loss due to interest rate fluctuation. The Company evaluates and monitors each financial instrument individually and, when appropriate, obtains collateral or other security to minimize losses. Financial instruments are more fully described in Note 6.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SUN LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY OF CANADA (U.S.)

(A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Holdings, Inc.)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents primarily include cash, commercial paper, money market investments, and short-term bank participations. All such investments have maturities of three months or less and are considered cash equivalents for purposes of reporting cash flows.

INVESTMENTS

The Company accounts for its investments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." At the time of purchase, fixed maturity securities are classified based on intent, as held-to-maturity, trading, or available-for-sale. In order for the security to be classified as held-to-maturity, the Company must have positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Securities held-to-maturity are stated at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums, and accretion of discounts. Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading. Securities that do not meet this criterion are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at aggregate fair value with changes in unrealized gains or losses reported net of policyholder related amounts and of deferred income taxes in a separate component of other comprehensive income. Trading securities are carried at aggregate fair value with changes in unrealized gains or losses reported as a component of net investment income. Fair values for publicly traded securities are obtained from external market quotations. For privately placed fixed maturities, fair values are estimated by taking into account prices for publicly traded securities of similar credit risk, maturities repayment and liquidity characteristics. All security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis.

The Company's accounting policy for impairment requires recognition of an other than temporary impairment write-down on a security if it is determined that the Company is unable to recover all amounts due under the contractual obligations of the security. In addition, for securities expected to be sold, an other than temporary impairment charge is recognized if the Company does not expect the fair value of a security to recover to cost or amortized cost prior to the expected date of sale. Once an impairment charge has been recorded, the Company then continues to review the other than temporarily impaired securities for additional impairment, if necessary.

Mortgage loans are stated at unpaid principal balances, net of provisions for estimated losses. Mortgage loans acquired at a premium or discount are carried at amortized values net of provisions for estimated losses. Mortgage loans, which include primarily commercial first mortgages, are diversified by property type and geographic area throughout the United States. Mortgage loans are collateralized by the related properties and generally are no more than 70% of the properties' value at the time that the original loan is made.

A loan is recognized as impaired when it is probable that the principal or interest is not collectible in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. Measurement of impairment is based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or at the loan's observable market price. A specific valuation allowance is established if the fair value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded amount. Loans are also charged against the allowance when determined to be uncollectible. The allowance is based on a continuing review of the loan portfolio, past loss experience and current economic conditions, which may affect the borrower's ability to pay. While management believes that it uses the best information available to establish the allowance, future adjustments to the allowance may become necessary if economic conditions differ from the assumptions used in making the evaluation.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):

Real estate investments are held for the production of income or held-for-sale. Real estate investments held for the production of income are carried at the lower of cost adjusted for accumulated depreciation or fair value. Depreciation of buildings and improvements is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the property, generally 40 to 50 years. Real estate investments held-for-sale are primarily acquired through foreclosure of mortgage loans. The cost of real estate that has been acquired through foreclosure is the estimated fair value less estimated costs to dispose at the time of foreclosure. Real estate investments are diversified by property type and geographic area throughout the United States.

Policy loans are carried at the amount of outstanding principal balance not in excess of net cash surrender values of the related insurance policies.

Other invested assets consist primarily of leveraged leases and tax credit partnerships.

The Company uses derivative financial instruments including swaps and options as a means of hedging exposure to interest rate, currency and equity price risk.

Investment income is recognized on an accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on the sales of investments are recognized in operations at the date of sale and are determined using the specific cost identification method. When an impairment of a specific investment or a group of investments is determined to be other than temporary, a realized investment loss is recorded. Changes in the provision for estimated losses on mortgage loans and real estate are included in net realized investment gains and losses.

Interest income on loans is recorded on the accrual basis. Loans are placed in a non-accrual status when management believes that the borrower's financial condition, after giving consideration to economic and business conditions and collection efforts, is such that collection of principal and interest is doubtful. When a loan is placed in non-accrual status, all interest previously accrued is reversed against current period interest income. Interest accruals are resumed on such loans only when they are brought fully current with respect to principal and interest, have performed on a sustained basis for a reasonable period of time, and when, in the judgment of management, the loans are estimated to be fully collectible as to both principal and interest.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):

DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS

Acquisition costs consist of commissions, underwriting and other costs, which vary with and are primarily related to the production of new business. Acquisition costs related to investment-type contracts, primarily deferred annuity and guaranteed investment contracts, and universal and variable life products are deferred and amortized with interest in proportion to the present value of estimated gross profits to be realized over the estimated lives of the contracts. Estimated gross profits are composed of net investment income, net realized investment gains and losses, life and variable annuity fees, surrender charges and direct variable administrative expenses. This amortization is reviewed quarterly and adjusted retrospectively when the Company revises its estimate of current or future gross profits to be realized from this group of products, including realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments.

Deferred acquisition costs for each product are reviewed to determine if they are recoverable from future income, including investment income. If such costs are determined to be unrecoverable, they are expensed at the time of determination. Although realization of deferred policy acquisition costs is not assured, the Company believes it is more likely than not that all of these costs will be realized. The amount of deferred policy acquisition costs considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if the estimates of gross profits or total revenues discussed above are reduced.

OTHER ASSETS

Property, equipment, leasehold improvements and capitalized software costs that are included in other assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line or accelerated method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which generally range from 3 to 10 years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is provided using the straight-line method over the lesser of the term of the leases or the estimated useful life of the improvements. Also included in other assets are assets pledged as collateral for open derivative contracts (See "Derivatives" section of Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements.) Reinsurance receivables from reinsurance ceded are also included in other assets.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):

POLICY LIABILITIES AND ACCRUALS

Future policy benefits are liabilities for traditional life, health and annuity products. Such liabilities are established in amounts adequate to meet the estimated future obligations of policies in force. The liabilities associated with traditional life insurance, annuity and disability insurance products are computed using the net level premium method based on assumptions about future investment yields, mortality, morbidity and persistency. The assumptions used are based upon the Company's experience and industry standards.

Contractholder deposit funds consist of policy values that accrue to the holders of universal life-type contracts and investment-related products such as deferred annuities and guaranteed investment contracts. The liabilities are determined using the retrospective deposit method and consist of net deposits and investment earnings less administrative charges. The liability is before the deduction of any applicable surrender charges.

Other policy liabilities include liabilities for policy and contract claims. These amounts consist of the estimated amount payable for claims reported but not yet settled and an estimate of claims incurred but not reported. The amount reported is based upon historical experience, adjusted for trends and current circumstances. Management believes that the recorded liability is sufficient to provide for the associated claims adjustment expenses. Revisions of these estimates are included in operations in the year such refinements are made.

REVENUE AND EXPENSES

Premiums for traditional individual life and annuity products are considered revenue when due. Premiums related to group life and group disability insurance are recognized as revenue pro-rata over the contract period. The unexpired portion of these premiums is recorded as unearned premiums. Revenue from universal life-type products and investment-related products includes charges for cost of insurance (mortality), initiation and administration of the policy and surrender charges. Revenue is recognized when the charges are assessed except that any portion of an assessment that relates to services to be provided in future years is deferred and recognized over the period during which the services are provided.

Other than deferred policy acquisition costs, benefits and expenses related to traditional life, annuity, and disability contracts, including group policies, are recognized when incurred in a manner designed to match them with related premium revenue and spread income recognition over expected policy lives. For universal life-type and investment-type contracts, benefits include interest credited to policyholders' accounts and death benefits in excess of account values, which are recognized as incurred.

INCOME TAXES

The Company and its subsidiaries participate in a consolidated federal income tax return with Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada - U.S. Operations Holdings, Inc. and other affiliates. Deferred income taxes are generally recognized when assets and liabilities have different values for financial statement and tax reporting purposes, and for other temporary taxable and deductible differences as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". These differences result primarily from policy reserves, policy acquisition expenses and unrealized gains or losses on investments, and are generally not chargeable with liabilities that arise from any other business of the Company.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):

SEPARATE ACCOUNTS

The Company has established separate accounts applicable to various classes of contracts providing for variable benefits. Separate account assets are subject to general account claims only to the extent the value of such assets exceeds the separate account liabilities. Contracts for which funds are invested in separate accounts include variable life insurance and individual and group qualified and non-qualified variable annuity contracts. Assets and liabilities of the separate accounts, representing net deposits and accumulated net investment earnings less fees, held primarily for the benefit of contractholders, are shown as separate captions in the financial statements. Assets held in the separate accounts are carried at market value and the investment risk of such securities is retained by the contractholder.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities including fair value hedges and cash flow hedges. All derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, will be required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. For a derivative that does not qualify as a hedge, changes in fair value will be recognized in earnings.

The Company applied SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No. 138, on January 1, 2001. As a result, the Company recorded as a change in accounting principle in the accompanying consolidated statements of income, a cumulative transition adjustment of $5.2 million, net of tax, that increased earnings relating to embedded derivatives. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 133, the Company had been recognizing changes in fair value of derivatives in earnings; however, embedded derivatives in insurance contracts had not been accounted for separately.

During 2001, the Company adopted the requirements of Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 102, "Selected Loan Loss Allowance and Documentation Issues". The adoption of SAB No. 102 had no material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In July 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached consensus on Issue No. 99-20, "Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Certain Investments". This pronouncement requires investors in certain asset-backed securities to record changes in their estimated yield on a prospective basis and to evaluate these securities for an other than temporary decline in value. This consensus is effective for financial statements with fiscal quarters beginning after December 15, 2000. The Company adopted EITF No. 99-20 in June 2001; it had no material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" which replaces SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities". This standard revises the methods for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral as outlined in SFAS No. 125, and requires certain additional disclosures. Adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):

In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". These Statements will change the accounting for business combinations and goodwill in two significant ways. First, SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. Use of the pooling-of-interests method will be prohibited. Second, SFAS No. 142 changes the accounting for goodwill from an amortization method to an impairment-only approach. Thus, amortization of goodwill, including goodwill recorded in past business combinations, will cease upon adoption of that Statement, which for companies with calendar year ends, will be January 1, 2002. Adopting SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company.

Also in July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," which relates to financial accounting and reporting of obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. SFAS No. 143 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company believes that adoption of this statement will not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". This statement supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." SFAS No. 144 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company believes that adoption of this statement will not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In September 2001, the EITF discussed Issue No. 01-10 "Accounting for the Impact of the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001" which gives accounting guidance and recommended disclosures. Following this guidance, the Company has reviewed its insurance contracts to quantify potential losses, if any, as a result of the tragedy and has determined that there were no material claims exposure to the Company. The national tragedy of September 11, 2001 has also had an adverse impact on the airline, hotel and hospitality businesses. Although the Company has investments associated with these industries, it has determined that there are no current recoverability issues. The Company will continue to monitor these investments to determine if any adjustments for other-than-temporary declines due to the decrease in market value are necessary.

The FASB is currently deliberating the issuance of an interpretation of SFAS No. 94, "Consolidation of All Majority-Owned Subsidiaries", to provide additional guidance to assist companies in identifying and accounting for special purpose entities ("SPEs") including when SPEs should be consolidated by the investor. The interpretation would introduce a concept that consolidation would be required by the primary beneficiary of the activities of an SPE unless the SPE can meet certain substantive independent economic substance criteria. It is not possible to determine at this time what conclusions will be included in the final interpretation; however, the result could impact the accounting treatment of these entities.

2. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

On February 11, 1999, two notes previously issued to the Company by Massachusetts Financial Services Company ("MFS"), an affiliate, were combined into a new note with a February 11, 2000 maturity date. The original notes were each issued for $110,000,000. One note was issued on February 11, 1998 at an interest rate of 6.0% and a due date of February 11, 1999. The other note was issued on December 22, 1998 at an interest rate of 5.55% and a due date of February 11, 1999. These two notes and an additional $10,000,000 were combined into a new note of $230,000,000 with a floating interest rate based on the six-month LIBOR rate plus 25 basis points. The $230,000,000 note was repaid to the Company on December 21,1999.

On December 31, 1998, the Company had an additional $20,000,000 investment in notes issued by MFS, scheduled to mature in 2000. These notes were repaid to the Company on December 21, 1999.

On January 14, 2000, the Company purchased two separate $100,000,000 notes from MFS, one with an interest rate of 8.60% due August 11, 2004, and the other with an interest rate of 7.93% due August 11, 2003. On November 1, 2000, MFS repaid the $100,000,000 note with an original maturity of August 11, 2003.

On February 5, 1999, the Company sold MCIC to an unaffiliated company. The net proceeds of this sale were $33,965,000. The Company realized a loss of $25,465,000 net of a $14,482,000 tax benefit.

On October 29, 1999, the Company sold NLT to an unaffiliated company for $30,254,000. The Company realized a gain of $13,170,000 after taxes of $10,186,000.

On June 27, 2000, the Company sold Sun Life Information Services Ireland, Limited to Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada. The Company realized a pretax gain of $451,000 on the sale.

On December 21, 2000, the Company's parent, Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Holdings, Inc., transferred its ownership in all 200 shares issued and outstanding of Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Holdings General Partner, Inc. to the Company in exchange for 537 shares of the Company's common stock totaling $537,000 plus $65,520,000 of additional paid in capital. As a result of the acquisition of Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Holdings General Partner, Inc. on December 21, 2000, and its ownership interest in Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Limited Partnership I, the Company became the owner of a $600,000,000 8.526% subordinated debenture due May 6, 2027 issued by the Company's parent, Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Holdings, Inc. The Company also assumed the liability of the Partnership Capital Securities issued to Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Capital Trust I, a Delaware business trust sponsored by the Company's parent. Partnership Capital Securities issued of $600,010,000 accrue interest at 8.526% and have no scheduled maturity date. These Partnership Capital Securities, which represent the limited partner interest of Sun Life (U.S.) Limited Partnership I, may be redeemed on or after May 6, 2027. The Company is accounting for the acquisition of Sun life of Canada (U.S.) General Partner, Inc. using the purchase method of accounting.

3. INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)

As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, 96% and 98%, respectively, of the Company's fixed maturities were investment grade. Investment grade securities are those that are rated "BBB" or better by nationally recognized rating agencies. During 2001 and 2000, the Company incurred realized losses totaling $5,500,000 and $14,956,000 for other than temporary impairment of value of some of its fixed maturities after determining that not all of the unrealized losses were temporary in nature. During 2001, $9,650,000 of the 2000 losses was recovered and is included in realized gains. Also in 2000, the Company stopped accruing income on its holdings of an issuer that declared bankruptcy. $417,000 and $243,000 of interest income on these holdings were not accrued during 2001 and 2000, respectively. All of the Company's securities were income producing during the year ended December 31, 1999.

MORTGAGE LOANS AND REAL ESTATE

The Company invests in commercial first mortgage loans and real estate throughout the United States. Investments are diversified by property type and geographic area. Mortgage loans are collateralized by the related properties and generally are no more than 70% of the properties' value at the time that the original loan is made. Real estate investments classified as held-for-sale have been obtained primarily through foreclosure. The carrying value of mortgage loans and real estate investments net of applicable reserves and accumulated depreciation on real estate were as follows (in 000's):

Accumulated depreciation on real estate was $16,110,000 and $14,879,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

The Company monitors the condition of the mortgage loans in its portfolio. In those cases where mortgages have been restructured, values are impaired or values are impaired but mortgages are performing, appropriate allowances for losses have been made. The Company has restructured mortgage loans, impaired mortgage loans and impaired but performing mortgage loans totaling $17,933,000 and $18,165,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, against which there are allowances for losses of $7,140,000 and $4,675,000, respectively. During 2001 and 2000, non-cash investing activities included real estate acquired through foreclosure of mortgage loans, which had fair values of $1,000,000 and $1,500,000, respectively.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999

3. INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED):

At December 31, 2001, scheduled mortgage loan maturities were as follows (000's):

Actual maturities could differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties and loans may be refinanced.

The Company has made commitments of mortgage loans on real estate and other loans into the future. The outstanding commitments for these mortgages amount to $39,800,000 and $45,119,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

During 2000, the Company sold commercial mortgage loans in a securitization transaction. In the transaction, the Company retained servicing responsibilities, a Class B and a Class I interest only certificate. The Class B certificate is a subordinated interest. The Company receives annual servicing fees, before expenses, of 0.1 percent of the outstanding balance and rights to future cash flows arising after the investors in the securitization trust have received the return for which they contracted. The investors in the securitization trust have no recourse to the Company's other assets for failure of debtors to pay when due. The value of the Company's retained interest is subject to credit, and interest rate risk on the transferred financial assets. The Company recognized a pretax gain of $763,000 on the securitization transaction.

Key economic assumptions used in measuring the retained interests at the date of securitization resulting from securitizations completed during the year ended December 31, 2000 were as follows:

The total principal amount of the commercial mortgage loans was $173,655,000 at December 31, 2001, none of which were 60 days or more past due. There were no net credit losses incurred relating to the commercial mortgage loans at the date of the securitization and at December 31, 2001.

SECURITIES LENDING

The Company has a securities lending program operated on its behalf by the Company's primary custodian, Chase Manhattan of New York. The custodian has indemnified the Company against losses arising from this program. There were no securities out on loan at December 31, 2001 and 2000. As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company had received no collateral for securities on loan. The income resulting from this program was $126,000, $48,000 and $37,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

LEVERAGED LEASES

The Company is a lessor in a leverage lease agreement entered into on October 21, 1994, under which equipment having an estimated economic life of 25-40 years was originally leased for a term of 9.78 years. During 2001, the lease term was extended until 2010. The Company's equity investment represented 22.9% of the purchase price of the equipment. The balance of the purchase price was furnished by third-party long-term debt financing, collateralized by the equipment and non-recourse to the Company. At the end of the lease term, the master lessee may exercise a fixed price purchase option to purchase the equipment. The Company's net investment in leveraged leases is composed of the following elements (in 000's):

DERIVATIVES

The Company uses derivative financial instruments for risk management purposes to hedge against specific interest rate risk, to alter investment rate exposures arising from mismatches between assets and liabilities, and to minimize the Company's exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and general market conditions. The derivative financial instruments used by the Company include swaps and options. The Company does not hold or issue any derivative instruments for trading purposes.

SWAPS

Swap agreements are contracts with other parties to exchange at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and floating rate interest amounts based upon a notional principal amount. No cash is exchanged at the outset of the contract and no principal payments are made by either party. A single net payment is usually made by one counter-party at each interest payment date. The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to hedge against exposure to interest rate fluctuations. Because the underlying principal is not exchanged, the Company's maximum exposure to counterparty credit risk is the difference in payments exchanged. The net payable/receivable is recognized over the life of the swap contract as an adjustment to net investment income.

In 2000, the Company launched a new guaranteed investment contract program. The purpose of the program was to increase market place and interest for these products. Each deal is highly individualized but typically involves the issuance of foreign currency denominated contracts backed by cross currency swaps or equity linked cross currency swaps. The combination of these swaps with interest rate swaps allows the Company to lock in U.S. dollar fixed rate payments for the life of the note.

The net increase (decrease) in net investment income related to swaps was ($23,493,000), $166,000, and ($2,513,000) for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company did not employ hedge accounting treatment in 2001, 2000 and 1999. As a result, the unrealized gains and losses were realized immediately in those years.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SUN LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY OF CANADA (U.S.)

(A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Holdings, Inc.)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999

3. INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED):

The Company recognized gross realized gains on derivatives of $10,173,000, $3,924,000, and $4,735,000 in 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively, as well as gross realized losses of $8,912,000, $1,156,000, and $1,789,000 during 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.

The Company's primary risks associated with these transactions are exposure to potential credit loss in the event of non-performance by counter-parties and market risk. The Company regularly assesses the strength of the counter-parties and generally enters into transactions with counter-parties rated "A" or better by nationally recognized ratings agencies. Management believes that the risk of incurring losses related to credit risk is remote. As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company's derivatives had no significant concentration of credit risk.

The Company is required to pledge and receive collateral for open derivative contracts. The amount of collateral that is required is determined by agreed upon thresholds with the counterparties. The Company currently pledges cash and U.S. Treasury bonds to satisfy this collateral requirement. At December 31, 2001, $32,900,000 of fixed maturities was pledged as collateral and is included in other assets. No collateral was pledged at December 31, 2000.

OPTIONS

Options are legal contracts that give the contractholder the right to buy or sell a specific amount of the underlying interest at a strike price upon exercise of the option. The Company also utilizes options to hedge against stock market exposure inherent in the mortality and expense risk charges and guaranteed minimum death benefit features of the Company's variable annuities.

6. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

SFAS 107 "Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" excludes certain insurance liabilities and other non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. The fair value amounts presented herein do not include the expected interest margin (interest earnings over interest credited) to be earned in the future on investment-type products or other intangible items. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented herein do not necessarily represent the underlying value of the Company; likewise, care should be exercised in deriving conclusions about the Company's business or financial condition based on the fair value information presented herein.

The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments at December 31, 2001 and 2000 (in 000's):

SUN LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY OF CANADA (U.S.)

(A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Holdings, Inc.)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999

6. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED):

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents are estimated to be cost plus accrued interest which approximates fair value. The fair values of short-term bonds are estimated to be the amortized cost. The fair values of publicly traded fixed maturities are based upon market prices or dealer quotes. For privately placed fixed maturities, fair values are estimated by taking into account prices for publicly traded securities of similar credit risk, maturity, repayment and liquidity characteristics. The fair values of mortgage and other loans are estimated by discounting future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

Policy loans are stated at unpaid principal balances, which approximate fair value.

The fair values of the Company's general account insurance reserves and contractholder deposits under investment-type contracts (insurance, annuity and pension contracts that do not involve mortality or morbidity risks) are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or surrender values based on interest rates currently being offered for similar contracts with maturities consistent with those remaining for all contracts being valued. Those contracts that are deemed to have short-term guarantees have a carrying amount equal to the estimated market value.

The fair values of other deposits with future maturity dates are estimated using discounted cash flows.

The fair value of notes payable and other borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based upon the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowings. The carrying amount of all other assets is assumed to approximate fair value.

7. REINSURANCE

INDIVIDUAL INSURANCE

The Company had several agreements with Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada, which provided that Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada would reinsure the mortality risk and certain ancillary benefits under various individual life insurance contracts sold by the Company. Under these agreements, basic death benefits and supplementary benefits were reinsured on a yearly renewable term basis and coinsurance basis, respectively. The effective dates of these agreements were June 1, 1982, November 1, 1986, and January 1, 1987. These agreements were terminated on December 31, 2000.

The Company had an agreement with an unrelated company that provided reinsurance of a small block of individual life insurance contracts on a modified coinsurance basis. This agreement was terminated on December 31, 2000.

The Company has agreements with Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada and with other unrelated companies which provide for reinsurance of certain mortality risks associated with the individual and corporate owned life insurance (COLI) contracts. These amounts are reinsured on a yearly renewable term basis.

GROUP INSURANCE

The Company has an agreement with Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada whereby Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada reinsures the mortality risks of the group life insurance contracts. Under this agreement, certain death benefits are reinsured on a yearly renewable term basis.

7. REINSURANCE (CONTINUED):

The Company has an agreement with an unrelated company whereby the unrelated company reinsures the morbidity risks of the group long-term disability contracts. Under this agreement, certain long-term disability benefits are reinsured on a yearly renewable term basis.

The effects of reinsurance were as follows (in 000's):

The Company is contingently liable for the portion of the policies reinsured under each of its existing reinsurance agreements in the event the reinsurance companies are unable to pay their portion of any reinsured claim. Management believes that any liability from this contingency is unlikely. However, to limit the possibility of such losses, the Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentration of credit risk.

8. RETIREMENT PLANS:

PENSION PLAN

The Company and its subsidiaries participate with Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada in a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan covering essentially all employees. Benefits under all plans are based on years of service and employees' average compensation. The Company's funding policies for the pension plans are to contribute amounts which at least satisfy the minimum amount required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"); currently the plans are fully funded. Most pension plan assets consist of separate accounts of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada or other insurance company contracts.

The projected benefit obligations were based on calculations that utilize certain assumptions. The assumed weighted average discount rate was 7.0% for the year ended December 31, 2001. The assumed weighted average discount rate for 2000 and 1999 was 7.5%. The expected return on plan assets for 2001, 2000 and 1999 was 8.75% and the assumed rate of compensation increase for 2001, 2000 and 1999 was 4.50%.

The Company and certain subsidiaries also participate with Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada and certain affiliates in a 401(k) savings plan for which substantially all employees are eligible. Under the various plans the Company matches, up to specified amounts, employees' contributions to the plan. The Company's contributions were $462,000, $354,000 and $284,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.

OTHER POST-RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

In addition to pension benefits, the Company and certain subsidiaries provide certain health, dental, and life insurance benefits ("postretirement benefits") for retired employees and dependents. Substantially all employees of the participating companies may become eligible for these benefits if they reach normal retirement age while working for the Company, or retire early upon satisfying an alternate age plus service condition. Life insurance benefits are generally set at a fixed amount. The following table sets forth the change in other postretirement benefit plans' obligations and assets, as well as the plans' funded status at December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999 (in 000's).

In order to measure the postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 2001 the Company assumed a 16.0% annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits (5.5% for dental benefits). In addition, medical cost inflation is assumed to be 12% in 2002 and assumed to decrease gradually to 5.5% for 2013 and remain at that level thereafter. Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the health care plans. For example, increasing the health care cost trend rate assumptions by one percentage point in each year would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 2001 by $6.1 million, and the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic postretirement benefit expense for 2001 by $465,000. Conversely, decreasing assumed rates by one percentage point in each year would decrease the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 2001 by $5.0 million, and the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic postretirement benefit expense for 2001 by $369,000. The assumed weighted average discount rate used in determining the postretirement benefit obligation was 7.0% for 2001 and 7.5% for 2000 and 1999.

9. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return with Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada - U.S. Operations Holdings, Inc. as previously described in Note 1. Federal income taxes are calculated as if the Company was filing a separate federal income tax return. A summary of the components of federal income tax expense (benefit) in the consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 was as follows (in 000's):

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999

9. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

The Company makes payments under the tax sharing agreements as if it were filing as a separate company.

The Company's federal income tax returns are routinely audited by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), and provisions are made in the consolidated financial statements in anticipation of the results of these audits. The Company is currently under audit by the IRS for the years 1994 and 1995. In the Company's opinion, adequate tax liabilities have been established for all years and any adjustments that might be required for the years under audit will not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. However, the amounts of these tax liabilities could be revised in the future if estimates of the Company's ultimate liability are revised.

10. LIABILITY FOR UNPAID CLAIMS AND CLAIMS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES

Changes in prior estimates are recorded in results of operations in the year such changes are determined to be needed.

13. REGULATORY FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The insurance subsidiaries are required to file annual statements with state regulatory authorities prepared on an accounting basis prescribed or permitted by such authorities (statutory basis). Statutory surplus differs from shareholder's equity reported in accordance with GAAP for stock life insurance companies primarily because policy acquisition costs are expensed when incurred, reserves are based on different assumptions, investments are valued differently, post-retirement benefit costs are based on different assumptions and reflect a different method of adoption, and deferred income taxes are calculated differently. The statutory financials are not prepared on a consolidated basis.

13. REGULATORY FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED):

The Company's statutory surplus and net income (loss) are as follows (in 000's):

The Company prepares its statutory financial statements in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Delaware. Effective January 1, 2001, the State of Delaware required that insurance companies domiciled in the State of Delaware prepare their statutory basis financial statements in accordance with the NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures manual, version effective January 1, 2001, subject to any deviations prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Delaware.

Accounting changes adopted to conform to the provisions of the NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures manual, version effective January 1, 2001, are reported as changes in accounting principles in the statutory financial statements. The cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles is reported as an adjustment to unassigned funds (surplus) in the period of the change in accounting principle. The cumulative effect is the difference between the amount of capital and surplus at the beginning of the year and the amount of capital and surplus that would have been reported at that date if the new accounting principles had been applied retroactively for all prior periods. As a result of these changes, the Company reported a change of accounting principle in its statutory financial statements, as an adjustment that increased unassigned funds (surplus), of $25,924,000 as of January 1, 2001. This adjustment is due to $25,454,000 of net deferred tax assets established as of January 1, 2001 offset by an increase of $470,000 in the valuation of the Company's obligation for postretirement benefits other than pensions ("PBOP") on a NAIC basis as of January 1, 2001.

14. DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS

The Company and its insurance subsidiary's ability to pay dividends are subject to certain restrictions. Delaware and New York have enacted laws governing the payment of dividends to stockholders by insurers. These laws affect the dividend paying ability of the Company and Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York. Pursuant to Delaware's statute, the maximum amount of dividends and other distributions that an insurer may pay in any twelve-month period, without prior approval of the Delaware Commissioner of Insurance, is limited to the greater of (i) 10% of its statutory surplus as of the preceding December 31, or (ii) the individual company's statutory net gain from operations for the preceding calendar year (if such insurer is a life company), or its net income (not including realized capital gains) for the preceding calendar year (if such insurer is not a life company). Any dividends to be paid by an insurer, whether or not in excess of the aforementioned threshold, from a source other than statutory surplus, would also require the prior approval of the Delaware Commissioner of Insurance. Dividends in the amounts of $15,000,000, $10,000,000 and $80,000,000 were declared and paid by the Company to its parent, Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Holdings, Inc. during 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.

14. DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS (CONTINUED)

On September 20, 2000, New York insurance law was amended to permit a domestic stock life insurance company to distribute a dividend to its shareholders, without notice to the Superintendent of Insurance of the State of New York, where the aggregate amount of such dividend in any calendar year does not exceed the lesser of: (1) ten percent of its surplus to policyholders as of the immediately preceding calendar year; or (2) its net gain from operations for the immediately preceding calendar year, not including realized capital gains. Under the previous law, domestic stock life insurers were prohibited from distributing any dividends to shareholders unless the insurer filed a notice of its intention to declare a dividend and its amount with the Superintendent at least 30 days in advance of the proposed declaration, and such proposed distribution was not disapproved by the Superintendent. No dividends were paid during 2001. Dividends in the amount of $4,700,000 and $6,500,000 were declared and paid during 2000 and 1999, respectively, by the Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York to the Company. These dividends were approved by the Board of Directors and the State of New York Insurance Department.

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

REGULATORY AND INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS

Unfavorable economic conditions may contribute to an increase in the number of insurance companies that are under regulatory supervision. This may result in an increase in mandatory assessments by state guaranty funds, or voluntary payments by solvent insurance companies to cover losses to policyholders of insolvent or rehabilitated companies. Mandatory assessments, which are subject to statutory limits, can be partially recovered through reduction in future premium taxes in some states. The Company is not able to reasonably estimate the potential effect on it of any such future assessments. Under insurance guaranty fund laws in each state, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, insurers licensed to do business can be assessed by state insurance guaranty associations for certain obligations of insolvent insurance companies to policyholders and claimants. Recent regulatory actions against certain large life insurers encountering financial difficulty have prompted various state insurance guaranty associations to begin assessing life insurance companies for the deemed losses. Most of these laws do provide, however, that an assessment may be excused or deferred if it would threaten an insurer's solvency and further provide annual limits on such assessments. Part of the assessments paid by the Company and its subsidiaries pursuant to these laws may be used as credits for a portion of the associated premium taxes.

LITIGATION

The Company is not aware of any contingent liabilities arising from litigation, income taxes and other matters beyond the ordinary course of business that could have a material effect upon the financial condition of the Company.

LINES OF CREDIT

The Company has syndicated two lines of credit each in the amount of $250 million. There are 14 banks in the syndicate of lenders, which is led by Chase Bank, New York. The banks have committed to lend funds of up to $500 million when requested by the Company at prevailing rates determined in accordance with the line of credit agreements. One line of credit terminates October 2002, the other in October 2003. As of December 31, 2001, no amounts have been borrowed.

16. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

During 1999, the Company discontinued its individual disability segment and its banking and trust segment. These segments were composed of Massachusetts Casualty Insurance Company ("MCIC") and New London Trust, F.S.B. ("NLT"), which were both sold during 1999 to separate, unaffiliated parties. Net proceeds on the sale of MCIC were approximately $33,965,000 and the Company realized a net loss after taxes of $25,465,000. Net proceeds on the sale of NLT were approximately $30,000,000; the Company realized a net gain after taxes of $13,170,000. Immediately before the sale date of NLT, the Company received a $19 million dividend distribution from NLT.

There were no results from discontinued operations in 2001 and 2000. Income from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 1999 were as follows (in 000's):

ITEM 29. PERSONS CONTROLLED BY OR UNDER COMMON CONTROL WITH THE DEPOSITOR OR THE REGISTRANT

No person is directly or indirectly controlled by the Registrant. The Registrant is a separate account of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada - U.S. Operations Holdings, Inc., which is in turn a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada.

The organization chart of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada is filed as Exhibit 16 to Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form N-4, File No. 333-74884, filed February 14, 2002.

None of the companies listed in such Exhibit 16 is a subsidiary of the Registrant; therefore, the only financial statements being filed are those of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.).

ITEM 30. INDEMNIFICATION

Pursuant to Section 145 of the Delaware Corporation Law, Article 8 of the By-laws of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.), as amended effective as of January 1, 2000 (a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 6(b) to Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registrant's Registration Statement on Form N-4, File No. 333-30844) provides for the indemnification of directors, officers and employees of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.). Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) pursuant to the certificate of incorporation, by-laws, or otherwise, Sun Life (U.S.) has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Sun Life (U.S.) of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, controlling person of Sun Life (U.S.) in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, Sun Life (U.S.) will submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by them is against public policy as expressed in the Act, unless in the opinion of their counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

ITEM 31. PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITERS

Clarendon Insurance Agency, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.), acts as general distributor for the Registrant, Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Variable Accounts C, D, E, G, H and I, Sun Life (N.Y.)
