Risk/Benefit Summary of Policy

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
Generally, You must make an initial minimum premium payment that will sustain the Policy for three months from its Issue Date.

-
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.

CONTRACT BENEFITS

Account Value

-
The Account Value equals

 
-
premiums, plus
     
 
-
investment performance of the Sub-Accounts, the Fixed Account and the Loan Account; less
     
 
-
any partial surrenders and Policy charges.

Accessing Your Account Value

Cash Surrender Value is

 
-
Account Value, less
     
 
-
Policy Debt, plus
     
 
-
any Enhancement Benefit.

-
You may borrow from us using the Account Value as collateral.  Taking Policy loans may increase the risk of Policy lapse.
   
-
You may surrender the Policy for its Cash Surrender Value.  Surrender of this Policy is discouraged in the early Policy Years because the Premium Expense Loads are higher in those years.
   
-
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.  Reducing the Cash Surrender Value with a partial surrender may increase the risk of Policy lapse.

A partial surrender may cause a decrease in Total Face Amount of your Policy if the Net Amount at Risk after the partial surrender exceeds the Net Amount at Risk before the partial surrender.  The Net Amount at Risk equals the Death Benefit minus your Account Value.

 
 

 


Death Benefit Compliance Test

-
For favorable federal tax treatment, the Policy must meet the standards of the Cash Value Accumulation Test.
   
-
Please see the Death Benefit Compliance Test paragraph in the About the Policy section of the prospectus for the Cash Value Accumulation Test definition.

Death Benefit

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

-
You have a choice of three death benefit options-

 
-
the Specified Face Amount (Option A); or
     
 
-
the Specified Face Amount plus your Gross Cash Surrender Value (Option B); or
     
 
-
the Specified Face Amount plus cumulative premiums paid (Option C).

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

 
-
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.

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

CONTRACT RISKS

The Variable Account
-
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 because the benefits reflect the impact of certain economic conditions on the mutual funds underlying the Sub-Accounts You have elected.  These conditions include, but are not limited to

 
 

 


 
-
inflationary forces,
     
 
-
changes in rates of return available from different types of investments,
     
 
-
changes in employment rates and
     
 
-
the presence of international conflict.

-
With such Sub-Accounts, You assume all investment risk.  Investment risk is the risk of poor investment performance.
   
-
Poor investment performance can result in a loss of all or some of your investment.
   
-
A comprehensive discussion of the risks of such Sub-Accounts may be found in the underlying Fund's prospectus.
   
-
This Policy is unsuitable if You plan to surrender it to meet short-term needs because the Premium Expense Load is higher in the early Policy Years.  The “Premium Expense Load” is a charge imposed on the premium at the time the Company receives it.  The Charge consists of an element to cover State and Federal tax obligations and an element to cover costs of issuing and selling the Policy.  See the Fee Tables following the Risk/Benefit Summary for the Charges and also a detailed description in the Charges, Deductions and Refunds section within the prospectus.

Right to Return Period

You may return the Policy and receive a refund within 10 days (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 adverse or unfavorable 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.

 
 

 

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.

About Who We Are

We are a stock life insurance company incorporated under the laws of Delaware on January 12, 1970.  We do business in 49 states, the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands.  We have an insurance company subsidiary that does business in New York.  Our executive office mailing address is One Sun Life Executive Park, Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts 02481.

We are ultimately controlled by Sun Life Financial Inc. ("Sun Life Financial").  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 and Philippine 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 are obligated to pay all benefits payable under the Policy.

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 and the Variable Account is fully funded for the purpose of Federal securities laws.  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 for the fixed account allocations and death benefits payable under the Policies 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 under applicable Federal securities laws. We may continue, at our election, to operate the Variable Account as a unit investment trust or other form of investment company.  All determinations will be made by our Board of Directors.  In the event of any change in the registration status of the Variable Account, we will notify all policyholders and any regulatory authorities requiring notice of such change.  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.

The Funds
The Policy offers several mutual fund options shown on page 1.  Each Fund is a mutual fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, or a separate series of shares of such a mutual fund.  More comprehensive information, including a discussion of potential risks, is found in the current prospectuses for the Funds (the “Fund Prospectuses”).  The Fund Prospectuses should be read in connection with this prospectus.  A copy of each Fund Prospectus may be obtained by calling 888-594-2654, or writing to Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.), One Sun Life Executive Park, Wellesley Hills, MA 02481.

Although the investment objectives and policies of the Funds may be similar to those of other mutual funds managed by the Funds’ investment advisers, the investment results of the Funds can differ significantly from those of such other mutual funds.  Some of the Funds’ investment advisers may compensate us for administering the Funds as investment options under the Policy. Such compensation is paid from advisers’ assets.

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 range of fees and expenses paid by the Funds as a percentage on average net asset value of each Fund.  These fees and expenses are more fully described in the Fund Prospectuses.  The information relating to the Fund expenses was provided by the Fund and was not independently verified by us.

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 2%, without regard to the actual investment experience of our general account.  Interest in excess of the guaranteed rate may be applied to the amount in the Fixed Account at such increased rates and in such a manner as we may determine, based on our expectations of future experience with respect to interest, mortality costs, persistency, expense, taxes, as well as the size, timing and frequency of deposits.

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 increase by no more than 500% the cost of insurance charges applicable to an Insured to cover the cost of the increased mortality risk borne by the Company.

Death Benefit Compliance Test.  The Policy must, at all times, satisfy the legal standard of the Cash Value Accumulation Test for it to qualify as life insurance and thus be entitled to receive favorable tax treatment under applicable federal tax law.  The Death Benefit must effectively always equal or exceed your gross cash surrender value multiplied by a certain percentage (the “Death Benefit Percentage”).  The Death Benefit Percentages for the Cash Value Accumulation Test vary by Attained Age and sex.

Initial Premium Payment.  A Minimum Premium will be due and payable as of the Issue Date.  The Minimum Premium is generally that which will sustain the Policy for three months from its Issue Date.  The amount of Minimum Premium is determined by the Specified Face Amount, APB Rider Face Amount, death benefit option election and risk and underwriting classification of the Insured.  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.

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 Investment Start Date is the date the first premium is applied which will be the latest of-

-
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 postmarking it to our Principal Office or to the sales representative through whom You purchased the Policy within 10 days from the date of receipt (unless a different period is applicable under state law) (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-

-
the difference between any premium payments made, including fees and charges, and the amounts allocated to the Investment Options;
   
-
the value of the amounts allocated to the Investment Options 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 Investment Options.

If required by applicable state insurance law, however, You will receive instead a refund equal to the greater of  premium payments made and premium payments made plus money market return.  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 Fidelity VIP Money Market Portfolio 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 to reject a premium payment that, if accepted, would cause the Policy, at its current Death Benefit, to no longer meet the definition of “life insurance” under the Internal Revenue Code.  If You provide satisfactory evidence of insurability, we can retain the premium and increase the Death Benefit while maintaining the Policy’s “life insurance” status under the Internal Revenue Code.

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 the Premium Expense Load.  The Premium Expense Load covers State and Federal tax liabilities related to premium.  We will allocate Net Premium among the Investment Options 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 at the time of application.  While there are no limitations concerning the number of Investment Options to which Net Premium may be allocated, we reserve the right to impose minimum allocation amounts, as determined by the Fund, for any or all Investment Options.

You may change the allocation of future Net Premium at any time by submitting an acceptable request to us.  An allocation change will be effective as of the date we receive your request for that change, provided that it is received on a Valuation Date before the close of the New York Stock Exchange.  If a request is received on a day that is not a Valuation Date or after the close of the New York Stock Exchange on a Valuation Date, it will become effective on the next Valuation Date.

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 or your sales representative within one business day 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.  Any such premium will be held, for a period not to exceed 90 days, in a non-interest bearing account.  This premium will be refunded at the end of the 90 day period if we have not received specific instruction from You concerning 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 Insured's 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.  This deduction will cease when the APB Rider is terminated.  The applicable guaranteed maximum Monthly Cost of Insurance Rates for the APB Rider Death Benefit do not exceed those for the Base Death Benefit.

Target Premium is the amount of premium specified as such in the Policy, used to determine the Premium Expense Load and Deferred Expense Load on Policy Year 1 Premium.  Target Premium is equal to (the Specified Face Amount divided by 1000) multiplied by the Target Premium Factor.  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 because the Target Premium calculation uses the Specified Face Amount not the Total Face Amount.  Lower Target Premium results in lower Premium Expense Loads and Deferred Expense Loads on Policy Year 1 Premium.

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-

-
our receipt of your written request for termination,
   
-
the lapse of the Policy because of insufficient value,
   
-
the Insured’s Attained Age 100, or
   
-
the termination of the Policy.

Death Benefit

Policy Proceeds.  If the Policy is in force at the time of the Insured’s death, the Insured has not Attained Age 100 and we have received Due Proof of the Insured’s death, we will pay your designated beneficiary a lump sum amount equal to-

-
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.

For Insureds who have Attained Age 100 at death, Policy Proceeds equal the Gross Cash Surrender Value minus outstanding Policy Debt.

 
 

 


Death Benefit Options.  The Policy has three 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-

-
the Policy’s Specified Face Amount, or
   
-
the Gross Cash Surrender Value multiplied by the applicable Death Benefit Percentage.

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

-
the Specified Face Amount plus the Gross Cash Surrender Value, or
   
-
the Gross Cash Surrender value multiplied by the applicable Death Benefit Percentage.

 
 Option C-Specified Face Amount Plus Cumulative Premiums Paid.  Under this option, the Base Death Benefit is the greater of-

-
the Specified Face Amount plus the sum of all premiums paid less any partial surrenders, or
   
-
the Gross Cash Surrender Value multiplied by the applicable Death Benefit Percentage.

If the Insured dies while the Policy is in force, we will make a lump sum payment when we receive due proof of that death.  Through the Insured’s Attained Age 100, the Death Benefit used to determine Policy Proceeds is based on the death benefit option, the Specified Face Amount and Gross Cash Surrender Value in effect on the Insured’s date of death.  After the Insured’s Attained Age 100, any death benefit provided by rider terminates and the Death Benefit will be equal to the Gross Cash Surrender Value.

You should note that the Policy may not qualify as life insurance after the Insured’s Attained Age 100, which may result in adverse tax consequences.  You should consult your tax advisor prior to continuing the Policy beyond the Insured’s Attained Age 100.

Changes in the Death Benefit Option.  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 us at our Principal Office.  The effective date of the change will be the Policy Anniversary on or next following the date of receipt of your request.

APB Rider Death Benefit.  The APB Rider Death Benefit is the Total Death Benefit minus the Base Death Benefit.  For Option A, the Total Death Benefit is the greater of a) the Total Face Amount and b) the Gross Cash Surrender Value multiplied by the applicable Death Benefit Percentage.  For Option B, the Total Death Benefit is the greater of a) the Total Face Amount plus the Gross Cash Surrender Value and b) the Gross Cash Surrender Value multiplied by the applicable Death Benefit Percentage.  For Option C, the Total Death Benefit is the greater of a) the Total Face Amount plus the sum of all premiums paid less any partial surrenders and b) the Gross Cash Surrender Value multiplied by the applicable Death Benefit Percentage.  The Total Face Amount is equal to the Specified Face Amount plus the APB Rider Face Amount.
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.

Changes in Face Amount.  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 us in writing.  The effective date for changes will be-

 
 

 


-
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.  The cost of insurance charges applicable to an increase in Specified Face Amount and APB Rider Face Amount may be higher or lower than those charged on the original sums if the Insured’s health has changed to a degree that qualifies the Insured for a different risk classification.  Additional policy specification pages will be provided to show the applicable guaranteed maximum cost of insurance charges applicable to any increase.

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-

-
first, to the most recent increase;
   
-
second, to the next most recent increases, in reverse chronological order; and
   
-
finally, to the initial face amount.

Account Value

Your Account Value is the sum of the amounts in each Investment Option 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, the Deferred Expense Load on Policy Year 1 Premium 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 the New York Stock Exchange is open for business and valuation will occur at the close of the New York Stock Exchange.  The New York Stock Exchange historically closes on weekends and the following holidays:  New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Washington’s Birthday, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas.

For the first Valuation Date of each Sub-Account, the Unit Value is established by us.  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.

If accompanied by proper allocation instructions, a premium received at our Principal Office is credited to the Policy on the same date it is received unless that date is not a Valuation Date or receipt is after the close of the New York Stock Exchange on a Valuation Date.  In those instances, the premium will be credited 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 for Investment Options.  The Account Value on the Investment Start Date equals-

-
that portion of Net Premium received and allocated to the Investment Options, 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 for Investment Options on subsequent Valuation Dates is equal to-

-
the Account Value attributable to each 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 each Investment Option during the current Valuation Period, plus
   
-
that portion of any loan repayment, including repayment of loan interest, allocated to an Investment Option during the current Valuation Period, minus

-
that portion of any partial surrenders deducted from each Investment Option during the current Valuation Period, minus
   
-
that portion of any Policy loan transferred from each Investment Option to the Loan Account during the current Valuation Period, minus
   
-
any illustration charge assessed during the current Valuation Period, minus
   
-
if a Policy Anniversary occurs during the current Valuation Period, that portion of the Deferred Expense Load on Policy Year 1 Premium charged to each Investment Option, 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 each Investment Option, 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 each Investment Option, 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 each Investment Option.

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-

-
the net asset value of a Fund share held in the Sub-Account determined as of the end of the Valuation Period, plus
   
-
the amount of any dividend or other distribution declared on amounts held in the Sub-Account if the “ex-dividend date” occurs during the Valuation Period, which for some assets will not be credited with investment experience until the dividend is paid, plus or minus
   
-
a 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.

The “ex-dividend date” is the date after which a Fund share begins trading without the dividend.

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-

-
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 any Investment Option to the Loan Account for Policy loans requested on that day; minus
   
-
any loan repayments made on that day.

Policy loans, with interest charged at the applicable rate, is “Policy Debt”. Policy Debt is not part of the Loan Account. Policy Debt increases by unpaid loan interest and reduces the Policy Proceeds and the Cash Surrender Value.

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.

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 daily, monthly and annual deductions due for charges under the Policy 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 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, they will be reduced by any overdue deductions.  If the Policy terminates by reason of insufficient value, there is no right to reinstate the coverage.

Insured's Attained Age 100.  At the Insured’s Attained Age 100, no further premium will be accepted.  The Account Value will be determined in the same manner as it was prior to the Insured's Attained Age 100, except that no further deduction for Monthly Cost of Insurance will be made.

The Policy may not qualify as life insurance beyond the Insured’s Attained Age 100, which may result in adverse tax consequences.  We recommend that You receive counsel from your tax advisor.

Enhancement Benefit.  An Enhancement Benefit may be provided if You surrender the Policy and such surrender is not made pursuant to an exchange under Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code (or any successor provision).  The amount available for Policy loan or partial surrender will not increase by any Enhancement Benefit.

The Enhancement Benefit represents a return of a portion of the charges paid under the Policy.

When a charge is based on the Account Value, the Account Value will not include the Enhancement Benefit.  When a charge is based on the Gross Cash Surrender Value, the Gross Cash Surrender Value, as defined, includes the Enhancement Benefit.

 
 

 


On a current basis, an Enhancement Benefit is available during the Enhancement Period (the first twelve Policy Years) and is calculated as follows:

-
Prior to the payment of the initial Premium, the Enhancement Benefit is zero.
   
-
Whenever a Premium Expense Load, a Deferred Expense Load on Policy Year 1 Premium or a Monthly Expense Charge is deducted during the Enhancement Period, the Enhancement Benefit is increased by 100% of each such load or charge and is then decreased each subsequent month during the Enhancement Period.
   
-
Whenever a Monthly Cost of Insurance charge is deducted during years 1-7 of the Enhancement Period, the Enhancement Benefit is increased by a percentage, which decreases over time, determined in accordance with the following formula:
   
-
[(84 – M) divided by 84] multiplied by 100 where M equals the number of months elapsed since the beginning of the Enhancement Period.
   
-
The Enhancement Benefit is zero after the end of the Enhancement Period.
The Enhancement Benefit is payable with respect to each Policy owned by the policyowner, and is not contingent upon surrender of all such Policies.

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 transfer all or a portion of your Account Value among Sub-Accounts and into the Fixed Account.  Transfers from the Fixed Account may not exceed the greater of the transfer percentage multiplied by the highest Fixed Account value over the transfer period and the transfer minimum.  The transfer percentage, transfer period and transfer minimum are shown in the Policy.  We will make transfers pursuant to an acceptable request to our Principal Office.  An “acceptable request” is one that is authorized by a person with proper authority, provides clear instruction to the Company, as administrator of the Variable Account, and is for a transaction that is not restricted by policies and procedures of the Variable Account or the Fund.
An acceptable transfer request will be executed as of the date our Principal Office receives your request provided that it is received on a Valuation Date before the close of the New York Stock Exchange.  If an acceptable transfer request is received on a day that is not a Valuation Date or after the close of the New York Stock Exchange on a Valuation Date, it will be processed effective on the next Valuation Date.  The Unit Value of Sub-Accounts affected by a transfer request will be that next determined after receipt of such transfer request.

You may transfer a specified dollar amount or a specified percentage of the Investment Option’s value.

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

-
the minimum amount that may be transferred;
   
-
the frequency of transfers; and
   
-
the minimum amount that may remain in a Sub-Account following a transfer from that Sub-Account.

We will notify You in writing of the imposition of a transfer limitation.  We do not reserve any right to impose charges for transfers.  Any restrictions on transfers will apply to all policyowners in a non-discriminatory fashion.


 
 

 


Short-Term Trading

The Policy is not designed for short-term trading.  If You wish to employ such strategies, do not purchase a Policy.  Transfer limits and other restrictions, described below, are subject to our ability to monitor transfer activity.  Some Owners and their third party intermediaries engaging in short-term trading may employ a variety of strategies to avoid detection.  Despite our efforts to prevent short-term trading, there is no assurance that we will be able to identify such Owners or intermediaries or curtail their trading.  A failure to detect and curtail short-term trading could result in adverse consequences to Owners.  Short-term trading can increase costs for all Owners as a result of excessive portfolio transaction fees.  In addition, short-term trading can adversely affect a Fund's performance.  If large amounts of money are suddenly transferred out of a Fund, the Fund's investment adviser cannot effectively invest in accordance with the Fund's investment objectives and policies.

The Variable Account has policies and procedures to discourage frequent transfers of Account Value.  As described above under "Transfer Privileges," the Policy includes the right to limit the frequency of transfers.
Short-term trading activities whether by an individual, a firm or a third party authorized to initiate transfer requests on behalf of Owner(s) may be subject to other restrictions as well (including transfers to and from the Fixed Account Option).  For example, we reserve the right to take actions against short-term trading which restrict your transfer privileges more narrowly than the policies described under "Transfer Privileges", such as requiring transfer requests to be submitted in writing through regular first-class U.S., mail (e.g., no overnight, priority or courier delivery allowed), and refusing any and all transfer instructions into a Fund.

If we determine that a third party acting on your behalf is engaging (alone or in combination with transfers effected by You directly) in a pattern of short-term trading, we may refuse to process certain transfers requested by such a third party.  We may also impose special restrictions on third parties that engage in reallocations of Policy values.  We may limit the frequency of the transfer and prohibit exchanges into a Fund.

Should transfer instructions provide for a redemption out of a Fund with purchase into a Fund that is restricted, the policyowner’s transfer instructions will be considered a request that is not in good order.  Therefore, neither side of the requested transaction will be honored.  We will provide You notice that the transfer instructions were not executed.  

We reserve the right to waive short-term trading restrictions, where permitted by law and not adverse to the interest of the relevant underlying Fund and other of the Company’s contract owners and Owners, in certain instances such as:

-
when a new broker of record is designated for the Policy;
-
when necessary in our view to avoid hardship to an Owner;
-
when underlying Funds are dissolved, merged or substituted.

If short-term trading results as a consequence of waiving the restrictions against short-term trading, it could expose Owners to certain risks.  The short-term trading could increase costs for all Owners as a result of excessive portfolio transaction fees.  In addition, the short-term trading could adversely affect a Fund's performance.  If large amounts of money are suddenly transferred out of a Fund, the Fund's investment adviser cannot effectively invest in accordance with the Fund's investment objectives and policies.  Unless the short-term trading policy and the permitted waivers of that policy are applied uniformly, some Owners may experience a different application of the policy and therefore may experience some of these risks.  Too much discretion on our part in allowing the waivers of short-term trading policy could result in an unequal treatment of short-term traders by permitting some short-term traders to engage in short-term trading while prohibiting others from doing the same.

The Funds’ Harmful Trading Policies.  In addition to the restrictions that we impose (as described above under Short-Term Trading and under Transfer Privileges), most of the Funds have adopted restrictions or other policies about transfers or other purchases and sales of the Funds’ shares.  These policies (the “Funds’ Harmful Trading Policies”) are intended to protect the Fund from short-term trading or other trading practices that are potentially harmful to the Fund.  The Funds’ Harmful Trading Policies may be more restrictive in some respects than the restrictions that we otherwise would impose, and the Funds may modify their Harmful Trading Policies from time to time.

 
 

 


We are legally obligated to provide (at the Funds’ request) information about each amount You cause to be deposited into a Fund (including by way of premium payments and transfers under your Policy) or removed from the Fund (including by way of withdrawals and transfers).  If a Fund identifies You as having violated the Fund’s Harmful Trading Policies, we are obligated, if the Fund requests, to restrict or prohibit any further deposits or exchanges by You (or a third party acting on your behalf) into that Fund.  Any such restriction or prohibition may remain in place indefinitely.

Accordingly, if You do not comply with any Fund’s Harmful Trading Policies, You (or a third party acting on your behalf) may be prohibited from directing any additional amounts into that Fund or directing any transfers or other exchanges involving that Fund.  You should review and comply with each Fund’s Harmful Trading Policies, which are disclosed in the Funds’ current prospectuses.

Funds may differ significantly as to such matters as:  (a) the amount, format and frequency of information that the Funds request from us about transactions that our customers make; and (b) the extent and nature of any limits or restrictions that the Funds request us to impose upon such transactions.  As a result of these differences, the costs borne by us and (directly or indirectly) by our customers may be significantly increased.   Any such additional costs may outweigh any additional protection that would be provided to our customers, particularly in view of the protections already afforded by the trading restrictions that we impose as described above under Short-Term Trading and under Transfer Privileges.  Also, if a Fund imposes more strict trading restrictions than are reasonably necessary under the circumstances, You could be deprived of potentially valuable flexibility to make transactions with respect to that Fund.  For these and other reasons, we may disagree with the timing or substance of a Fund’s requests for information from us or with any transaction limits or restrictions that the Fund requests us to impose upon our customers.  If any such disagreement with respect to a Fund cannot be satisfactorily resolved, the Fund might be restricted or, subject to obtaining any required regulatory approval, replaced as an investment option.

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-

-
the Account Value, minus
   
-
the outstanding balance of any outstanding Policy Debt; plus
   
-
any Enhancement Benefit

Partial Surrenders.  You may make a partial surrender of the Policy once each Policy Year after the first Policy Year by request to our Principal Office in a form satisfactory to us.  The amount of any partial surrender may not exceed the Account Value minus any outstanding Policy Debt.  It will be payable in a lump sum.  Partial surrenders may have tax consequences.  The Total Face Amount may be reduced in connection with a partial surrender depending on the then current risk status of the Insured.  The Insured may provide evidence of insurability.  The Total Face Amount will not be reduced if the Insured remains an acceptable risk under our then current underwriting standards.  If evidence is not provided or the Insured is not an acceptable risk, the Total Face Amount will be reduced to the extent necessary so that the Net Amount at Risk after the partial surrender does not exceed the Net Amount at Risk before the surrender.

You may allocate a partial surrender among the Investment Options.  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 attributable to each Investment Option bears to the total Account Value less the Loan Account immediately prior to the partial surrender.

Policy Loans.  Using the Policy as collateral, You may request a policy loan of your Account Value, decreased by the balance of any outstanding Policy Debt on the date the policy loan is made and by the projected deductions due to the next Policy Anniversary.  We will transfer Account Value equal to the amount of the policy loan from the Investment Options to the Loan Account on the date the policy loan is made.  Amounts in the Loan Account accrue interest daily at an effective annual rate of 4%.

You may allocate the policy loan among the Investment Options.  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 attributable to each Investment Option bears to the total Account Value less the Loan Account immediately prior to the policy 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.

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

All amounts paid by You that we receive 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 while the Policy is in force.  The amount of the loan repayment up to the outstanding balance of the policy loan will be transferred from the Loan Account to the Investment Options.  You may allocate the loan repayment among the Investment Options.  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 attributable to 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 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-

-
the New York Stock Exchange is closed, other than customary weekend and holiday closing, or trading on that exchange is otherwise restricted;
   
-
the SEC, or other regulatory agency with jurisdiction, 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 reserve the right to defer payment of any portion of the Cash Surrender Value, policy loan or partial surrender payable from the Fixed Account for a period not exceeding six months from the date we receive your surrender or loan request.

Charges, Deductions and Refunds

Premium Expense Load.  We deduct a load from each premium payment which includes two elements. One element covers State and Federal tax obligations.  The second element covers costs of issuing and selling the Policy, including sales commission, marketing allowance to broker-dealers, cost of printing the prospectuses and marketing materials and advertising expenses.  The costs of issuing the Policy are those that are not covered by other explicit charges, including the review of applications, processing the applications and establishing policyowner records.  To the extent the costs exceed the Premium Expense Load, the Company will use general account assets, including any profits realized from the Mortality and Expense Risk Charges and Cost of Insurance charges.  The tax element is an average of anticipated taxes and the policyowner may pay more or less than the actual tax obligations applicable to the Policy.

 
 

 


Currently, the Premium Expense Load for Policy Years 1 through 7 is 7.5% on each premium payment up to and including Target Premium for all states except Kentucky.  For Kentucky, the current Premium Expense Load is 9.0%.  For premium paid in excess of Target Premium for all Policy Years, the current Premium Expense Load is 2.5% on premium paid in excess of Target Premium for all states except Kentucky.  For Kentucky, the current Premium Expense Load is 4.0%.

The Premium Expense Load for Policy Years 1 through 7 is guaranteed not to exceed 12.5% (Kentucky: 17.5%) on each premium payment up to and including Target Premium and 5.5% (Kentucky: 10.5%) on premium paid in excess of Target Premium.  The Premium Expense Load for Policy Year 8 and thereafter is guaranteed not to exceed 3.25% on all premium payments (Kentucky: 8.25%).

Target Premium varies based on the Specified Face Amount and the Insured’s Issue Age and sex.  We may reduce or waive the Premium Expense Load for certain group or sponsored arrangements and corporate purchasers.
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.  We may realize a profit from this charge.  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, profit and taxes.  Expressed as an equivalent annual rate, the Daily Risk Percentage is guaranteed not to exceed 0.90% of assets.  The current Daily Risk Percentage will be no greater than 0.50% of assets for Policy Years 1-9 and 0.10% 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 experience with respect to interest, mortality experience, persistency, expenses, profit and taxes, which will not exceed $15.00 in any Policy Month.  Currently, the Monthly Expense Charge is $5.00 per month.

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.  We may realize a profit from this charge.  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.

The Monthly Cost of Insurance equals the sum of (1), (2) and (3) where

(1)
is the Specified Face Amount Monthly Cost of Insurance Rate (described below) multiplied by the net amount at risk divided by 1000.  The net amount at risk equals the Base Death Benefit at the end of the Policy Month before the deduction of the Monthly Cost of Insurance less the Gross Cash Surrender Value at the end of the Policy Month before the deduction of the Monthly Cost of Insurance;
   
(2)
is the APB Rider Face Amount Monthly Cost of Insurance Rate (described below) multiplied by the net amount at risk divided by 1000.  The net amount at risk equals the APB Rider Death Benefit, which is the Total Death Benefit minus the Base Death Benefit, at the end of the Policy Month before the deduction of the Monthly Cost of Insurance; and
   
(3)
is any Flat Extra specified in Section 1of the Policy, times the Total Face Amount divided by 1000.

The Account Value deduction occurs first to the initial Total Face Amount and second to successive increases.

The cost of insurance deductions described above are determined separately for the initial Specified Face Amount and the APB Rider Face Amount and each increase in Specified Face Amount or APB Rider Face Amount.

 
 

 



The Net Amount at Risk is affected by the performance of the Sub-Accounts to which premium is allocated, the cumulative premium paid, any Policy Debt, any partial surrenders, transaction fees and periodic charges.  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 interest, mortality experience, persistency, expenses, profit 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 owner.  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), Table B (for unisex) 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.

Deferred Expense Load on Policy Year 1 Premium.  A deduction for this expense load, which is assessed in Policy Years 2 through 7 and deducted on the Policy Anniversary, is based on premium payments in Policy Year 1 up to and including Target Premium.  This Load is deducted from assets allocated to the Investment Options.  The Premium Expense Load would be higher if the Deferred Expense Load on Policy Year 1 Premium was not imposed.  It is comprised of the same elements as the Premium Expense Load.  The load is guaranteed not to exceed 1.0%.  Currently, the load will be no greater than 0.40%.
Other Charges and Expenses.  We reserve the right to impose a charge for in-force illustrations, as more fully described at page 25.  We currently do not impose a charge and guarantee any charge will not exceed $25.00.  In addition, the interest charged for outstanding loans as well as the interest credited to the Loan Account is more fully described at pages 21-22.  Lastly, a flat extra charge may apply if an Insured is a substandard risk.  A flat extra charge will not exceed $20.00 per $1000 of Specified Face Amount and APB Rider Face Amount. It is deducted from the Account Value on a monthly basis and covers the additional mortality risks of the Insured borne by the Company.  A definition of “flat extra” is provided in the Glossary.

Directed Deductions.  You have the ability to direct from which Investment Options the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge, Monthly Expense Charge, Deferred Expense Load on Policy Year 1 Premium and Monthly Cost of Insurance Charge deductions are taken.  The deductions will be allocated among the selected Investment Options in the same proportion that the Account Value attributable to each Investment Option bears to the total Account Value in all Investment Options selected.  If You do not specify the allocation, or to the extent the total Account Value in all Investment Options selected is less than the deduction, deductions will be allocated among Investment Options in the same proportion that the Account Value attributable to each Investment Option bears to the total Account Value less the Loan Account immediately prior to the deduction.

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 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), Table B (for unisex) or Table 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 owner.



 
 

 

Termination of Policy

The Policy will terminate on the earliest of-

-
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 Principal Office and must be in a form satisfactory to us.  The assignment will then be effective as of the date You signed the form, subject to any action taken before it was recorded by us at our Principal Office.  We are not responsible for the validity or legal effect of any assignment.  Neither the Policy nor any of your rights or those of a beneficiary may be assigned or transferred without our permission.

Owner and Beneficiary.  The owner has the sole and absolute power to exercise all rights and privileges under the Policy without the consent of any other person unless You provide otherwise by written notice.  The beneficiary has no rights under the Policy until the death of the Insured.  A beneficiary is any person or entity, named in our records as the proper recipient of the Policy Proceeds.  You may change beneficiary by sending notice in a form satisfactory to us.  If there is no beneficiary living when the Insured dies, we will pay the Policy Proceeds under the Policy to You.  If You are also the Insured, the Policy Proceeds will be paid to your estate.

Reports to Owners.  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 Policy Debt.  Additionally, confirmations of individual transactions (e.g. premium payments, allocations, transfers) in the Policy will be sent at the time of the transaction.

Illustrations.  Upon request, we will provide You with a hypothetical illustration of future Account Value and Death Benefits.  Currently, we do not charge for the illustration but reserve the right to do so.  Any fee will not exceed $25.00.

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 (unless a unisex Policy).

     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 (unless a unisex Policy).

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 greater of (a) or (b) where:  (a) is the Cash Surrender Value and (b) is the premiums paid, minus the amount of any Policy Debt and minus 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 total face amount, increase in Base Death Benefit over premium paid, or change in death benefit option of the Policy.  No statement can be used by us 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 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.  Shares of any or all of the Funds may not always be available for purchase by the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account or we may decide that further investment in any such shares is no longer appropriate.  In either event, shares 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, provided that these substitutions have been approved by the SEC.  In addition, the investment policies of the Variable Account 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, subject to the approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  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-

-
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 Investment Options.

When required, approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission will be obtained.

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 possible future performance, based solely upon data available at the time such illustrations are prepared.

Performance Information

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 Portfolio 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 of the Portfolio, net of Mortality & Expense Risk Charges, 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.  We may compare performance information in reports and promotional literature, to-

 
 

 


-
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 owners and prospective owners.  Topics may include-

-
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, short-term trading, dollar cost averaging, 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 2004.  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 interests in the corresponding Sub-Accounts, to the extent required by law.  We will provide each policyowner who has interests 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.  As a result of proportional voting, the instructions of a small number of policyowners could determine the outcome of a proposal subject to shareholder vote.

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
The Policy is offered on a continuous basis.  The Policy is sold by licensed insurance agents ("Selling Agents") in those states where the Policy may be lawfully sold.  Such Selling Agents will be registered representatives of affiliated and unaffiliated broker-dealer firms ("Selling Broker-Dealers") registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 who are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and who have entered into selling agreements with the Company and our general distributor, Clarendon Insurance Agency, Inc. ("Clarendon"), One Sun Life Executive Park, Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts  02481.  Clarendon is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is a member of FINRA.

The Company (or its affiliates, for the purposes of this section only, collectively, "the Company"), pays the Selling Broker-Dealers compensation for sale of the Policy.  The Selling Agents who solicit sales of the Policy typically receive a portion of the compensation paid by the Company to the Selling Broker-Dealers in the form of commissions or other compensation, depending on the agreement between the Selling Broker-Dealer and their Selling Agent.  This compensation is not paid directly by the Policy Owner or the Variable Account.  The Company intends to recoup this compensation through fees and charges imposed under the Policy, and from profits on payments received by the Company for providing administrative, marketing, and other support and services to the Funds.  The amount and timing of commissions the Company may pay to Selling Broker-Dealers is not expected to be more than 40% of premium paid in the first Policy Year and 15% per annum of premium paid in Policy Years two through seven.  We may also pay a commission of-

-
up to 0.15% per annum of Account Value for Policy Years one through twenty; and
   
-
up to 0.10% per annum of Account Value thereafter.

We may also pay up to an additional 0.15% per annum of Account Value to broker-dealers who provide additional services specifically requested or authorized by corporate purchasers.  The Company may pay or allow other promotional incentives or payments in the form of cash or other compensation to the extent permitted by FINRA rules and other applicable laws and regulations and this compensation may be significant in amount.

The Company also pays compensation to wholesaling broker-dealers or other firms or intermediaries, including, in some cases, payments to affiliates of the Company such as Sun Life Financial Distributors, Inc., in return for wholesaling services such as providing marketing and sales support, product training and administrative services to the Selling Agents of the Selling Broker-Dealers.  This compensation may be significant and may be based on a percentage of premium, a percentage of Account Value and/or may be a fixed dollar amount.

In addition to the compensation described above, the Company may make additional cash payments (in certain circumstances referred to as “override” compensation) or reimbursements to Selling Broker-Dealers in recognition of their marketing and distribution, transaction processing and/or administrative services support.  These payments are not offered to all Selling Broker-Dealers, and the terms of any particular agreement governing the payments may vary among Selling Broker-Dealers depending on, among other things, the level of and type of marketing and distribution support provided.  Marketing and distribution support services may include, among other services, placement of the Company's products on the Selling Broker-Dealer's preferred or recommended list, access to the Selling Broker-Dealer's registered representatives for purposes of promoting sales of the Company's products, assistance in training and education for the Selling Agents, and opportunities for the Company to participate in sales conferences and educational seminars. The payments or reimbursements may be calculated as a percentage of the particular Selling Broker-Dealers actual or expected aggregate sales of our variable policies (including the Policy) or assets held within those policies and/or may be a fixed dollar amount.  Broker-dealers receiving these additional

 
 

 

payments may pass on some or all of the payments to the Selling Agent.  The prospect of receiving, or the receipt of additional compensation as described above may provide Selling Broker-Dealers with an incentive to favor sales of the Policies over other variable life policies (or other investments) with respect to which the Selling Broker-Dealer does not receive additional compensation, or lower levels of additional compensation.  You should take such payment arrangements into account when considering and evaluating any recommendation relating to the Policies.

In addition to selling our variable policies (including the Policy), some Selling Broker-Dealers or their affiliates may have other business relationships with the Company.  Those other business relationships may include, for example, reinsurance agreements pursuant to which an affiliate of the Selling Broker-Dealer provides reinsurance to the Company relative to some or all of the Policies or other variable policies issued by the Company or its affiliates.  The potential profits for a Selling Broker-Dealer or its affiliates (including its registered representatives) associated with such reinsurance arrangements could be significant in amount and could indirectly provide incentives to the Selling Broker-Dealer and its Selling Agents to recommend products for which they provide reinsurance over similar products which do not result in potential reinsurance profits to the Selling Broker-Dealer or its affiliate.  The operation of an individual policy is not impacted by whether the policy is subject to a reinsurance arrangement between the Company and an affiliate of the Selling Broker-Dealer.

As discussed in the preceding paragraphs, the Selling Broker-Dealer may receive numerous forms of payments that, directly or indirectly, provide incentives to, and otherwise facilitate and encourage the offer and sale of the Policies by Selling Broker-Dealers and their registered representatives.  Such payments may be significantly greater or less in connection with the Policies than in connection with other products offered and sold by the Company or by others.  Accordingly, the payments described above may create a potential conflict of interest, as they may influence your Selling Broker-Dealer or registered representative to present a Policy to You instead of (or more favorably than) another product or products that might be preferable to You.

You should ask your Selling Agent for further information about what commissions or other compensation he or she, or the Selling Broker-Dealer for which he or she works, may receive in connection with your purchase of the Policy.

During 2005, 2006 and 2007, Clarendon retained no commissions in connection with the distribution of the Policies.


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.  However, due to IRS Rev. Rul. 2004-75, as amplified by Rev. Rul. 2004-97, we will treat Puerto Rico Policy distributions and withdrawals occurring on and after January 1, 2005 as U.S.-source income that is subject to U.S. income tax withholding and reporting. 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.

In calculating our corporate income tax liability, we derive certain corporate income tax benefits associated with the investment of company assets, including separate account assets that are treated as company assets under applicable income tax law.  These benefits, which reduce our overall corporate income tax liability, may include dividends received deductions and foreign tax credits which can be material.  We do not pass these benefits through to the Variable Account, principally because:  (i) the great bulk of the benefits results from the dividends received deduction, which involves no reduction in the dollar amount of dividends that the Variable Account receives and (ii) under applicable income tax law, policyowners are not the owners of the assets generating the benefits.

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 may be taxed on all of the accumulated income under the Policy on its maturity date and there can be no assurance that 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.

The IRS has stated that satisfaction of the diversification requirements described above by itself does not prevent a contract owner from being treated as the owner of separate account assets under an "owner control" test.  If a contract owner is treated as the owner of separate account assets for tax purposes, the contract owner would be subject to taxation on the income and gains from the separate account assets.  In published revenue rulings through 1982 and then again in 2003, the IRS has stated that a variable contract owner will be considered the owner of separate account assets if the owner possesses incidents of ownership in those assets, such as the ability to exercise control over the investment of the assets.  In Rev. Rul. 2003-91, the IRS considered certain variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts and concluded that the owners of the variable contracts would not be considered the owners of the contracts underlying assets for federal income tax purposes.

Rev. Rul. 2003-91 states that the determination of whether the owner of a variable contract possesses sufficient incidents of ownership over the assets underlying the variable contract so as to be deemed the owner of those assets for federal income tax purposes will depend on all the facts and circumstances.  We do not believe that the differences between the Policy and the contracts described in Rev. Rul. 2003-91 with respect to the number of investment choices and the ability to transfer among investment choices should prevent the holding in Rev. Rul. 2003-91 from applying.  Nevertheless, You should consult with a competent tax adviser on the potential impact of the investor control rules of the IRS as they relate to the investment decisions and activities You may undertake with respect to the Policy.

The guidelines in Rev. Rul. 2003-91 do not address the treatment of a policyholder which is, or which is affiliated with, an investment manager.  Any investment manager or affiliate who purchases a Policy assumes the risk that it may be treated as the owner of the investments underlying the Policy under the "owner control" rules because of the investment manager's control over assets held under the Policy.  However, because the diversification rules would permit an investment manager (or its affiliate) to hold a direct investment in an investment option under the Policy, we do not believe that the application of the "owner control" rules to an investment manager (or its affiliate) should affect You.

In the future, the IRS and/or the Treasury Department may issue new rulings, interpretations or regulations on this subject.  Accordingly, we reserve the right to modify the Policy as necessary to attempt to prevent You from being considered the owner, for tax purposes, of the underlying assets.  We also reserve the right to notify You if we determine that it is no longer practicable to maintain the Policy in a manner that was designed to prevent You from being considered the owner of the assets of the Variable Account.  You bear the risk that You may be treated as the owner of Variable Account assets and taxed accordingly.

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 Endowment 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 ordinary income 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 ordinary income 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 (as defined below).  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 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 below) is treated as ordinary income subject to tax and the 10% additional tax discussed above may apply also.  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-

-
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 above) 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.

The Pension Protection Act of 2006 added a new section to the Code that denies the tax-free treatment of death benefits payable under an employer-owned life insurance contract unless certain notice and consent requirements are met and either (1) certain rules relating to the insured employee’s status are satisfied or (2) certain rules relating to the payment of the “amount received under the contract” to, or for the benefit of, certain beneficiaries or successors of the insured employee are satisfied.  The new rules apply to life insurance contracts owned by corporations (including S corporations), individual sole proprietors, estates and trusts and partnerships that are engaged in a trade or business.  Any business contemplating the purchase of a Policy on the life of an employee should consult with its legal and tax advisors regarding the applicability of the new legislation to the proposed purchase.

A tax adviser should also be consulted with respect to the 2003 split dollar regulations if You have purchased or are considering the purchase of a Policy for a split dollar insurance plan.  Any business contemplating the purchase of a new life insurance contract or a change in an existing contract should consult a tax adviser.  There may also be an indirect tax upon the income in the Policy or the proceeds of a Policy under the federal corporate alternative minimum tax, if the policyowner is subject to that tax.

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.

Withholding

We will withhold and remit to the U.S. Government a part of the taxable portion of each distribution unless, prior to the distribution, the Owner provides us his or her taxpayer identification number and instructs us (in the manner prescribed) not to withhold.  The Owner may credit against his or her federal income tax liability for the year of distribution any amounts that we withhold.

Tax Return Disclosure

We believe that the purchase of a Policy is not currently subject to the tax return disclosure requirements of IRC Section 6011 and Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4.  However, it is your responsibility, in consultation with your tax and legal counsel and advisers, to make your own determination as to the applicability of the disclosure requirements of IRC Section 6011 and Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4 to your federal tax return.
Under IRC Section 6111 and Temporary Treasury Regulation Section 301.6111-1T, we are required to register with the IRS any offerings or sales of Policies that are considered tax shelters.  We believe that registration would not be required under current regulations with respect to sales of the offering or sale of a Policy.

We believe that the customer list requirements of IRC Section 6112 and Treasury Regulation Section 301.6112-1 are not currently applicable to such offerings and sales.

Other Information

State Regulation

We are subject to the laws of Delaware governing life insurance companies and to regulation by Delaware's Commissioner of Insurance, whose agents periodically conduct an examination of our financial condition and business operations.  We are also subject to the insurance laws and regulations of the jurisdictions in which we are authorized to do business.

We are required to file an annual statement with the insurance regulatory authority of those jurisdictions where we are authorized to do business relating to our business operations and financial condition as of December 31st of the preceding year.

Legal Proceedings

There are no pending legal proceedings which would have a material adverse effect on the Variable Account.  We are engaged in various kinds of routine litigation which, in our judgment, is not material to the Variable Account.

Experts
Actuarial matters concerning the Policy have been examined by Philip Johnson, FSA, MAAA, Assistant Vice President for Corporate Markets of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.).

THE COMPANY AND THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT

Sun Life Financial Inc. ("Sun Life Financial"), a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with common shares listed on the Toronto, New York and Philippine stock exchanges, is the ultimate corporate parent of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.). Sun Life Financial ultimately controls Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) through the following intervening holding company subsidiaries: Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Holdings, Inc., Sun Life Financial (U.S.) Investments LLC, Sun Life Financial (U.S.) Holdings, Inc., Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada - U.S. Operations Holdings, Inc., and Sun Life Financial Corp.  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 and paying charges relative to the Variable Account.  The Variable Account will be fully funded at all times for the purposes of Federal securities laws.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The consolidated financial statements of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) included in this Statement of Additional Information have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report appearing herein (which report, dated March 27, 2008, accompanying such financial statements expresses an unqualified opinion and includes an explanatory paragraph, referring to the adoption of the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No.109”), and has been so included in reliance upon the report of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.  Their office is located at 200 Berkeley Street, Boston, Massachusetts.

The financial statements of Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Variable Account G that are included in this Statement of Additional Information have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report appearing herein (which report, dated April 18, 2008, accompanying the financial statements expresses an unqualified opinion) and has been so 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
The Policy is offered on a continuous basis.  The Policy is sold by licensed insurance agents ("Selling Agents") in those states where the Policy may be lawfully sold.  Such Selling Agents will be registered representatives of affiliated and unaffiliated broker-dealer firms ("Selling Broker-Dealers") registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 who are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and who have entered into selling agreements with the Company and our general distributor, Clarendon Insurance Agency, Inc. ("Clarendon"), One Sun Life Executive Park, Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts 02481.  Clarendon is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is a member of FINRA.

The Company (or its affiliates, for the purposes of this section only, collectively, "the Company"), pays the Selling Broker-Dealers compensation for sale of the Policy.  The Selling Agents who solicit sales of the Policy typically receive a portion of the compensation paid by the Company to the Selling Broker-Dealers in the form of commissions or other compensation, depending on the agreement between the Selling Broker-Dealer and their Selling Agent.  This compensation is not paid directly by the Policy Owner or the Variable Account.  The Company intends to recoup this compensation through fees and charges imposed under the Policy, and from profits on payments received by the Company for providing administrative, marketing, and other support and services to the Funds.  The amount and timing of commissions the Company may pay to Selling Broker-Dealers is not expected to be more than 40% of premium paid in the first Policy Year and 15% per annum of premium paid in Policy Years two through seven.  We may also pay a commission of-

o
up to 0.15% per annum of Account Value for Policy Years one through twenty; and
   
o
up to 0.10% per annum 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.  The Company may pay or allow other promotional incentives or payments in the form of cash or other compensation to the extent permitted by FINRA rules and other applicable laws and regulations and this compensation may be significant in amount.

The Company also pays compensation to wholesaling broker-dealers or other firms or intermediaries, including, in some cases, payments to affiliates of the Company such as Sun Life Financial Distributors, Inc., in return for wholesaling services such as providing marketing and sales support, product training and administrative services to the Selling Agents of the Selling Broker-Dealers.  This compensation may be significant and may be based on a percentage of premium, a percentage of Account Value and/or may be a fixed dollar amount.

In addition to the compensation described above, the Company may make additional cash payments (in certain circumstances referred to as “override” compensation) or reimbursements to Selling Broker-Dealers in recognition of their marketing and distribution, transaction processing and/or administrative services support.  These payments are not offered to all Selling Broker-Dealers, and the terms of any particular agreement governing the payments may vary among Selling Broker-Dealers depending on, among other things, the level of and type of marketing and distribution support provided.  Marketing and distribution support services may include, among other services, placement of the Company's products on the Selling Broker-Dealer's preferred or recommended list, access to the Selling Broker-Dealer's registered representatives for purposes of promoting sales of the Company's products, assistance in training and education for the Selling Agents, and opportunities for the Company to participate in sales conferences and educational seminars. The payments or reimbursements may be calculated as a percentage of the particular Selling Broker-Dealers actual or expected aggregate sales of our variable policies (including the Policy) or assets held within those policies and/or may be a fixed dollar amount.  Broker-dealers receiving these additional payments may pass on some or all of the payments to the Selling Agent.  The prospect of receiving, or the receipt of additional compensation as described above may provide Selling Broker-Dealers with an incentive to favor sales of the Policies over other variable life policies (or other investments) with respect to which the Selling Broker-Dealer does not receive additional compensation, or lower levels of additional compensation.  You should take such payment arrangements into account when considering and evaluating any recommendation relating to the Policies.

In addition to selling our variable policies (including the Policy), some Selling Broker-Dealers or their affiliates may have other business relationships with the Company.  Those other business relationships may include, for example, reinsurance agreements pursuant to which an affiliate of the Selling Broker-Dealer provides reinsurance to the Company relative to some or all of the Policies or other variable policies issued by the Company or its affiliates.  The potential profits for a Selling Broker-Dealer or its affiliates (including its registered representatives) associated with such reinsurance arrangements could be significant in amount and could indirectly provide incentives to the Selling Broker-Dealer and its Selling Agents to recommend products for which they provide reinsurance over similar products which do not result in potential reinsurance profits to the Selling Broker-Dealer or its affiliate.  The operation of an individual policy is not impacted by whether the policy is subject to a reinsurance arrangement between the Company and an affiliate of the Selling Broker-Dealer.

As discussed in the preceding paragraphs, the Selling Broker-Dealer may receive numerous forms of payments that, directly or indirectly, provide incentives to, and otherwise facilitate and encourage the offer and sale of the Policies by Selling Broker-Dealers and their registered representatives.  Such payments may be significantly greater or less in connection with the Policies than in connection with other products offered and sold by the Company or by others.  Accordingly, the payments described above may create a potential conflict of interest, as they may influence your Selling Broker-Dealer or registered representative to present a Policy to You instead of (or more favorably than) another product or products that might be preferable to You.

You should ask your Selling Agent for further information about what commissions or other compensation he or she, or the Selling Broker-Dealer for which he or she works, may receive in connection with your purchase of the Policy.

During 2005, 2006 and 2007, Clarendon retained no commissions in connection with the distribution of the Policies.

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 increase by no more than 500% the cost of insurance charges applicable an Insured to cover the cost of the increased mortality risk borne by the Company.  The cost of insurance charges are based on the 1980 Commissioner's Standard Ordinary Mortality Table A (for males), Table B (for unisex) or Table G (for females).

Premium Expense Load.  We deduct a load from each premium payment for state and federal tax obligations and as a sales load.

For Policy Years 1 through 7, the current Premium Expense Load will be no less than 0.0% and no greater than 9.0% on each premium payment up to and including Target Premium and will be no less than 0.0% and no greater than 3.25% on premium paid in excess of Target Premium.  For Policy Year 8 and thereafter, the current Premium Expense Load will be no less than 0.0% and no greater than 3.25% on all premium paid.

The Premium Expense Load for Policy Years 1 through 7 is guaranteed not to exceed 12.5% on each premium payment up to and including Target Premium and 5.5% on premium paid in excess of Target Premium.  The Premium Expense Load for Policy Year 8 and thereafter is guaranteed not to exceed 3.25% on all premium payments.

Target Premium varies based on the Total Face Amount and the Insured’s Issue Age and sex.  We may reduce or waive the Premium Expense Load for certain group or sponsored arrangements and corporate purchasers.

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.  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 monthly anniversary day 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.  The cost of insurance charges applicable to an increase in Specified Face Amount and APB Rider Face Amount may be higher or lower than those charged on the original sums if the Insured’s health has changed to a degree that qualifies the Insured for a different risk classification.  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 - continued

Massachusetts Financial Services Company, an affiliate of the Sponsor, is the 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.

The Variable Account exists in accordance with the regulations of the Delaware 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 the reported amounts of investment income and realized and unrealized gains or losses.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Valuations
Investments in shares of an investment portfolio of the 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.  Realized gains and losses on sales of shares of the Funds are computed on the basis of the identified cost of the investment sold.  Dividend income and realized gain distributions received by the Sub-Accounts are reinvested in additional Fund shares and are recognized on the ex-dividend date.

Federal Income Tax Status
The operations of the Variable Account are part of the operations of the Sponsor and are not taxed separately.  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 currently subject to tax by the contract owner.

(3) Contract Charges and Related Party Transactions

Sales Load Charges – Charges are deducted from the premium before being allocated by Sub-Account.  For the Sun Life Corporate VUL and FuturitySM Corporate VUL products, the expense charges consist of premium tax, federal Deferred Acquisition Cost ("DAC") tax and the sales load.  The premium tax ranges 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.  For the Sun Life Large Case VUL product, the expense charges consist of only premium expense load.  The premium expense load ranges from 0% to 9% of the premium up to target premium and from 0% to 3.25% of the premium in excess of the target premium.

Mortality and Expense Risk Charges – A mortality and expense risk charge based on the contract value is deducted from Sub-Account, through a reduction of units, for the mortality and expense risk assumed by the Sponsor. Daily deductions are made from each Sub-Account at an effective annual rate ranging from 0.15% to 0.60% for policy years 1 through 10, 0.10% to 0.25% for policy years 11 through 20, and 0.10% to 0.20% for policy years 21 and beyond.

Cost of Insurance – A monthly cost of insurance is deducted from each Sub-Account to cover anticipated costs of providing insurance coverage through a reduction of units. This charge is based on the length of time a policy has been in force and other factors, including age, sex and rating class of each insured and will not exceed the guaranteed maximum monthly cost of insurance rates based on the 1980 Commissioner’s Standard Ordinary smoker and non-smoker mortality tables.

Other Contract Charges – A monthly administration charge is deducted from the value of each contract at the beginning of each month, through the reduction of units, to cover certain administration expenses. For the Sun Life Corporate VUL Corporate VUL and the FuturitySM Corporate VUL products, the monthly charge is $13.75 per policy for the first policy year and $7.50 for months thereafter. For the Sun Life Large Case VUL products, a monthly charge is $5.00 per policy for each policy month. The Sun Life Large Case VUL products also charges a deferred expense load applied to premium. The maximum charge will not exceed 0.50% of premium.

Both are affiliates of the Sponsor and charge management fees at an effective annual rate ranging from 0.50% to 0.90% and 0.50% to 0.95% of average net assets value, respectively.

(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-Account invests.
(2) These amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund. 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.

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.

(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-Account invests.
(2) These amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund. 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.

(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-Account invests.
(2) These amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund. 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.

(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-Account invests.
(2) These amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund.  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.

(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-Account invests.
(2) These amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund.  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.

(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 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-Account invests.
(2) These amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund.  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.

(6) Diversification Requirements

Under the provision of Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), a variable annuity contract, other than a contract issued in connection with certain types of employee benefit plans, is not be treated as a life insurance contract for federal tax purposes for any period for which the investments of the segregated asset account on which the contract is based are not adequately diversified.  The Code provides that the “adequately diversified” requirement may be met if the underlying investments satisfy either a statutory safe harbor test or diversification requirements set forth in regulations issued by the Secretary of Treasury.

The Internal Revenue Service has issued regulations under Section 817(h) of the Code which allows the contract owner to avoid current taxation of both current and built-up earnings of the contract.  The Sponsor believes that the Sub-Account satisfies the current requirements of the regulations, and it intends that the Sub-Account will continue to meet such requirements.

(7) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48) “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”.  FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”  This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  It also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.  FIN 48 is effective during the first required financial reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.  The Sub-Accounts adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007.  The Sub-Accounts are not responsible for the payment or recording of income taxes and therefore the adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements, but does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value.

SFAS No. 157 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be exchanged to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.  The statement establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels (“Level 1, 2 and 3”).  Level 1 inputs are observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.  Level 2 inputs are observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, for the asset or liability or prices for similar assets and liabilities.  Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  SFAS No. 157 requires that a fair value measurement technique include an adjustment for risks inherent in a particular valuation technique (such as a pricing model) and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the model, if market participants would also include such an adjustment.  Quantitative and qualitative disclosures will focus on the inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements and the effects of the measurements in the financial statements.

The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and are to be applied prospectively, except for changes in fair value measurements that result from the initial application of SFAS No. 157, which are to be recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings in the year of adoption.  Sponsor of the Sub-Accounts will adopt SFAS No. 157 effective January 1, 2008.  The adoption of SFAS No. 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Sub-Account's financial position or results of operations.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Sub-Accounts are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Sub-Accounts’ internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Sub-Accounts as of December 31, 2007, the results of their operations for the year then ended and the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

Effective September 27, 2007, the Company dissolved Sun life of Canada (U.S.) Holdings General Partner, LLC (the “General Partner”).  The General Partner was the sole general partner in Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”) and, as a result, the Partnership had been consolidated with the results of the Company.  The Partnership was organized to purchase subordinated debentures issued by the Parent and to issue partnership capital securities to an affiliated business trust, Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Capital Trust I (the “Capital Trust”).  Effective May 6, 2007, the Parent redeemed $600 million of 8.526% subordinated debentures issued to the Partnership and paid the Partnership an early redemption premium of $25.6 million.  Also effective May 6, 2007, the Partnership redeemed $600 million of the 8.526% partnership capital securities issued to the Capital Trust and paid a premium of $25.6 million to the Capital Trust.  The redemption had no impact on the Company’s net income.  The Partnership was cancelled effective September 27, 2007.

Effective May 31, 2007, Sun Life Financial completed its acquisition of Genworth Financial, Inc.'s (“Genworth’s”) Employee Benefits Group business ("EBG").  Also effective May 31, 2007, SLNY entered into a series of agreements with Sun Life and Health Insurance Company (U.S.) (“SLHIC”), one of the acquired companies (formerly named Genworth Life and Health Insurance Company), through which the New York issued business of SLHIC was transferred to SLNY.  These agreements include a 100% coinsurance agreement for all existing and future new business issued in New York, a renewal rights agreement under which SLNY has exclusive rights to renew in-force business assumed under the reinsurance agreement and an administrative service agreement under which SLNY has agreed to assume direct responsibility for all sales and administration of existing and new business issued in New York (collectively, “the SLHIC to SLNY asset transfer”).  These agreements, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations,” were treated as a transfer of net assets between entities under common control. SLNY paid $40 million of total consideration to SLHIC.  SLHIC transferred assets at carrying value of approximately $72 million, including $38.9 million of goodwill and other intangibles, as well as policyholder and other liabilities of approximately $32 million to SLNY.  The Group Protection Segment of the Company reflects a significant increase in business as a result of these agreements. These agreements have allowed the Company to expand its product offerings to include group dental insurance.

On September 6, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Credit and Repackaged Securities Limited Series 2006-10 Trust (the "CARS Trust"), whereby the Company is the sole beneficiary of the CARS Trust.  As of December 31, 2007, total assets and liabilities of the CARS Trust were $57.7 million and $7.9 million, respectively. As the sole beneficiary of the CARS Trust, the Company is required to consolidate this trust under the requirements of FIN 46(R).  Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the CARS Trust are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  As of December 31, 2007, the Company recorded in its consolidated balance sheets $53.8 million of trading fixed maturities, $2.9 million of deferred tax, $1.0 million of accrued investment income and $7.9 million of liabilities relating to a total return swap.  As of December 31, 2006, the Company recorded in its consolidated balance sheets $55.3 million of trading fixed maturities, $1.2 million of accrued investment income and $1.7 million of liabilities.

On April 19, 2005, the Company sold its interest in a consolidated variable interest entity (“VIE”) and recognized a gain of $6.1 million.  The Company received net cash proceeds of $17.0 million and reduced consolidated assets and liabilities by $74.5 million and $63.6 million, respectively. The Company’s net income for the year ended December 31, 2005 included a net loss of $0.8 million related to this VIE.

The Company had a greater than or equal to 20%, but less than 50%, interest in fourteen VIEs at December 31, 2007.  The Company is a creditor in seven trusts, three limited liability companies, two limited partnership and two special-purpose entities that were used to finance commercial mortgages, and franchise receivables and equipment used in utility generation.  The Company’s maximum exposure to loss related to all of these VIEs is the investments’ carrying value, which was $88.4 million and $30.1 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  The investments in these VIEs mature between March 2007 and September 2029.  As the Company will not absorb a majority of the VIEs’ expected losses or receive a majority of the expected returns, the Company is not required to consolidate these VIEs, in accordance with FIN 46.  See Note 4 for additional information with respect to leveraged leases which is not included above.

All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

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

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  The most significant estimates are those used in determining the fair value of financial instruments, goodwill, DAC, VOBA, the liabilities for future contract and policyholder benefits and other-than-temporary impairments of investments.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into transactions involving various types of financial instruments, including cash equivalents, fixed maturity investments, mortgage loans, equity securities, derivative 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.

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 when purchased and are considered cash equivalents for purposes of reporting cash flows.

INVESTMENTS

The Company accounts for its investments in accordance with SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."  At the time of purchase, fixed maturity securities are classified based on the Company's intent as either held-to-maturity, trading or available-for-sale.  In order for a security to be classified as held-to-maturity, the Company must have positive intent and ability to hold the security 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.  Trading securities are carried at aggregate fair value with changes in market value reported as a component of net investment income.  Securities that do not meet the held-to-maturity or trading criterion are classified as available-for-sale.  Included with available-for-sale fixed maturities are mortgage backed securities in the To Be Announced ("TBA") form.  The Company records TBA purchases on the trade date and the corresponding payable is recorded as an outstanding liability in payable for investments purchased until the settlement date of the transaction.  Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with the unrealized gains or losses reported in other comprehensive income.

The Company determines the fair value of its publicly traded fixed maturities using four primary pricing methods: third-party pricing services, independent dealer quotes, pricing matrices, and pricing models.  Prices are first sought from third party pricing services; the remaining unpriced securities are priced using one of the remaining three methods.  Third-party pricing services derive the security prices through recently reported trades for identical or similar securities with adjustments for trading volumes and market observable information through the reporting date.  In the event that there are no recent market trades, pricing services and brokers may use pricing matrices and models to develop a security price based on future expected cash flows discounted at an estimated market rate using collateral performance and vintages.

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

INVESTMENTS (continued)

Structured securities, such as collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO”), commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), and asset-backed securities (“ABS”), are priced using a matrix, fair value model or independent broker quotations.  CMBS securities, which are a subset of the Company's CMO holdings, are priced using the last sale price of the day or a broker quote, if no sales were transacted that day.  Other CMOs and ABS are priced using matrices, models or independent broker quotations.  Typical inputs used by these three pricing methods include, but are not limited to, reported trades, benchmark yields, issuer spreads, bids and/or estimated cash flows and prepayment speeds.  In addition, estimates of expected future prepayments are factors in determining the price of ABS, mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), CMBS, and CMOs.  These estimates are based on the underlying collateral and structure of the security, as well as prepayment speeds previously experienced in the market at interest rate levels projected for the underlying collateral.  Actual prepayment experience may vary from these estimates.

For privately placed fixed maturities, fair values are estimated using matrices, which take into account credit spreads for publicly traded securities of similar credit risk, maturity, prepayment and liquidity characteristics.  A portion of privately placed fixed maturities are also priced using market prices or dealer quotes.  The fair values of mortgages 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.

The Company’s ability to liquidate positions in privately placed fixed securities and mortgages could be impacted to a significant degree by the lack of an actively traded market.  Although the Company believes that its estimates reasonably reflect the fair value of those instruments, its key assumptions about risk-free interest rates, risk premiums, performance of underlying collateral (if any) and other factors may not reflect those of an active market.

The Company performs a monthly analysis on the prices received from third parties to assess if the prices represent a reasonable estimate of the fair value.  The process is both quantitative and qualitative and includes back testing of recent trades, review of key assumptions such as spreads, duration, credit rating, and on-going review of third-party pricing services methodologies.  In the event that a more appropriate fair value is justified, the price received from a third-party pricing services is adjusted accordingly.  The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable, unrelated willing parties using inputs, including estimates and assumptions, a market participant would utilize.

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 anticipates that it will be unable to recover all amounts due under the contractual obligations of the security.  Additionally, in the event that securities that are expected to be sold before the fair value of the security recovers to amortized cost, an other-than-temporary impairment charge is also taken.

Some structured securities, typically those rated single A or below, are subject to Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No.  99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continued to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets” (“EITF 99-20”).  EITF 99-20 requires the Company to periodically update its best estimate of cash flows over the life of the security.  In the event that the present value of the estimated cash flows is less than amortized cost, an other-than-temporary impairment charge is recorded.  Estimating future cash flows is a quantitative and qualitative process that incorporates information received from third parties, along with assumptions and judgments about the future performance of the underlying collateral.

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

INVESTMENTS (continued)

Impairments are classified as either credit-related or interest-related.  The Company categorizes impairments as credit-related if it anticipates the issuers will be unable to pay all principal and interest amounts due, according to the contractual terms of the security or if the decline in fair value of the security is driven by issuer-specific credit events.  The Company characterizes impairments as interest-related if the depression in fair value of the security was due to changes in interest or general credit spread widening and for which the Company has determined it no longer has the intent or ability to hold a security until recovery to amortized cost.  Once an other than temporary impairment charge has been recorded, the Company continues to review the other-than-temporarily impaired securities for additional impairment.  The net realized loss is recorded in the income statement as the difference between the fair value and the amortized cost of the security.

The Company incurred realized losses totaling $68.1 million, $6.3 million and 29.7, for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, for other-than-temporary impairments.  Of the $68.1 million in realized losses for other-than-temporary impairments for the year ended December 31, 2007, $16.1 million was due to a change in the Company’s intent to hold the securities to recovery of fair value, up to amortized cost.  The remaining $52 million of realized losses were credit-related.

The Company discontinues the accrual of income on its holdings for issuers that are in default.  Investment income would not have materially increased for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 if these holdings were performing.

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

INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)

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 75% of the property’s 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 lower of the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or on 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.

Real estate investments are held for the production of income or are 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.  Policy loans are collateralized by the related insurance policy and do not exceed the net cash surrender value of such policy.

Investments in private equity limited partnerships are accounted for by the equity method of accounting.

The Company uses derivative financial instruments including swaps, options, and futures as a means of hedging exposure to interest rate, currency and equity price risk.  Derivatives are carried at fair value and changes in fair value are recorded as a component of derivative income.

Realized gains and losses on the sales of investments are recognized in operations at the date of sale and are determined using the average cost method.  When an impairment of a specific available-for-sale investment 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 is recorded on the accrual basis. Investments 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 an investment is placed in non-accrual status, all interest accrued is reversed against current period interest income.  Interest accruals are resumed on such investments only when the investments have performed on a sustained basis for a reasonable period of time and when, in the judgment of management, the investments are estimated to be fully collectible as to both principal and interest.

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 (“GICs”), 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, interest credited, policyholder benefits and direct variable administrative expenses.  DAC amortization is reviewed regularly and adjusted, as appropriate, retrospectively when the Company records actual profits and revises its estimate of future gross profits to be realized from this group of products, including realized gains and losses from investments.

Although recovery of DAC is not assured, the Company believes it is more likely than not that all of these costs will be recovered from future profits.  The amount of DAC considered recoverable, however, could be reduced in the near term if the future estimates of gross profits are reduced.

DAC is also adjusted for amounts relating to unrealized investment gains and losses.  This adjustment, net of tax, is included with unrealized investment gains or losses that are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. DAC was increased by $189.8 million and $6.9 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, to reflect unrealized losses.

VALUE OF BUSINESS AND CUSTOMER RENEWALS ACQUIRED

Value of business acquired (“VOBA”) represents the actuarially-determined present value of projected future gross profits from policies in force at the date of their acquisition.  This amount is amortized in proportion to the projected emergence of profits or premium income over the estimated life of the purchased block of business.

VOBA is also adjusted for amounts relating to unrealized investment gains and losses.  This adjustment, net of tax, is included with unrealized investment gains or losses that are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income.  The Company’s VOBA was not adjusted for amounts relating to unrealized investment gains and losses for the year ended December 31, 2007.  VOBA was increased by $0.5 million at December 31, 2006 to account for unrealized investment losses.

The value of customer renewals acquired represents the actuarially determined present value of projected future profits arising from the existing in-force business at the date of acquisition to the next policy renewal date.  This amount is amortized in proportion to the projected premium income over the period from the first renewal date to the end of the projected life of the policies and, as such, is not adjusted for amounts relating to unrealized investment gains and losses.

GOODWILL

Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price paid and the fair value of the net assets acquired in connection with the Company’s acquisitions of Keyport on November 1, 2001 and the allocation of goodwill to SLNY, based on a reinsurance agreement with SLHIC, effective May 31, 2007.  Goodwill obtained in connection with the purchase of Keyport is allocated to the Wealth Management Segment.  Goodwill obtained through the reinsurance agreement with SLHIC is allocated to the Group Segment in the Company’s subsidiary, SLNY.  In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis.  The Company completed the required impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets during the second quarter of 2007 and concluded that these assets were not impaired.

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 calculated 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 calculated using the straight-line method over the lesser of the term of the leases or the estimated useful life of the improvements.  Intangible assets are also included in other assets.

Intangible assets, which are recorded in other assets, consist of state insurance licenses that are not subject to amortization, product rights that have a weighted-average useful life of 7 years, and the value of distribution, which was transferred to SLNY from SLHIC.  The value of distribution represents the present value of projected future profits arising from sales of new business by brokers with whom SLHIC had an existing distribution relationship contract.  This amount is amortized on a straight-line basis over 25 years, representing the period over which the Company expects to earn premiums from new sales stemming from the added distribution capacity.

POLICY LIABILITIES AND ACCRUALS

Future contract and policy benefit liabilities include amounts reserved for future policy benefits payable upon contingent events as well as liabilities for unpaid claims due as of the statement date.  Such liabilities are established in amounts adequate to meet the estimated future obligations of policies in force.

Policy reserves for annuity contracts include liabilities held for group pension and payout annuity payments and liabilities held for product guarantees on variable annuity products, such as guaranteed minimum death benefits.  Reserves for pension and payout annuity contracts are calculated using the best-estimate interest and decrement assumptions that were set at the time that loss recognition testing resulted in additional reserves.  The Company periodically reviews its policies for loss recognition based upon management’s best estimates.  From time to time the Company may recognize a loss on certain lines of business.  For the year ended December 31, 2007 additional reserves of $31.4 million were recorded as a reduction to income and additional reserves of $7.5 million were recorded as a component of other comprehensive loss.  Reserves for guaranteed minimum death benefits and guaranteed minimum income benefits are calculated according to the methodology of AICPA Statement of Position 03-1, "Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Nontraditional Long-Duration Contracts and for Separate Accounts" ("SOP 03-1"), whereby the expected benefits provided by the guarantees are spread over the duration of the contract in proportion to the benefit assessments.

Policy reserves for group life and health contracts are calculated using standard actuarial methods recognized by the American Academy of Actuaries. For the tabular reserves, discount rates are based on the Company’s earned investment yield and the morbidity and mortality tables used are standard industry tables modified to reflect the Company’s actual experience when appropriate.  In particular, for the Company’s group known claim reserves, the mortality and morbidity tables for the early durations of claims are based exclusively on the Company’s experience, incorporating factors such as age at disability, sex and elimination period.  These reserves are computed at amounts that, with interest compounded annually at assumed rates, are expected to meet the Company’s future obligations.

Liabilities for unpaid claims 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.

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, single premium whole life policies ("SPWL"), GICs and funding agreements.  The liabilities consist of deposits received plus interest credited, less accumulated policyholder charges, assessments, partial withdrawals and surrenders.  The liabilities are not reduced by surrender charges.

REVENUE AND EXPENSES

Premiums for traditional individual life products are considered earned revenue when due. Premiums related to group life, group stop loss, group dental and group disability insurance are recognized as earned 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 the 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.

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 to spread income recognition over the expected life of the policy.  For universal life-type and investment-type contracts, expenses include interest credited to policyholders’ accounts and death benefits in excess of account values, which are recognized as incurred.

Fees from investment advisory services are recognized as revenues when the services are provided.

INCOME TAXES

For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company participated in a consolidated federal income tax return with SLC – U.S. Ops Holdings and other affiliates.  For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company’s subsidiaries INDY and SLNY filed stand-alone federal income tax returns.  INDY, SLNY and Sun Life Vermont, a new subsidiary, will be included as part of the consolidated federal income tax return for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Deferred income taxes are 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 SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”  These differences primarily result from policy reserves, policy acquisition expenses and unrealized gains or losses on investments.

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 variable benefits.  Contracts for which funds are invested in separate accounts include variable life insurance and individual and group qualified and non-qualified variable annuity contracts.  Investment income and changes in mutual fund asset values are allocated to policyholders and therefore do not affect the operating results of the Company.  Assets held in the separate accounts are carried at fair value and the investment risk of such securities is retained by the contractholder.  The Company earns separate account fees for providing administrative services and bearing the mortality risks related to these contracts.  The activity of the separate accounts is not reflected in the consolidated financial statements except for:  (1) the fees the Company receives, which are assessed periodically and recognized as revenue when assessed; and (2) the activity related to the guaranteed minimum death benefit ("GMDB"), guaranteed minimum income benefit ("GMIB"), guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit ("GMAB") and guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit ("GMWB") which is reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

New and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48"), which became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.  FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.  The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007, and recognized a decrease of $5.2 million in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits (“UTBs”) and related net interest, and an offsetting increase in its January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets," an amendment to SFAS No. 140.  SFAS No. 156 requires all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities to be initially measured at fair value and permits entities to choose to either subsequently measure servicing rights at fair value and report changes in fair value in earnings, or amortize servicing rights in proportion to, and over the estimated net servicing income or loss, and assess the rights for impairment or the need for an increased obligation.  The option to subsequently measure servicing rights at fair value allows entities which utilize derivative instruments to hedge their servicing rights to account for such hedging relationships at fair value and avoid the complications of hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133.  SFAS No. 156 was effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006.  The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140.”  This statement amended SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," and SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," and resolved issues addressed in SFAS No. 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, "Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets."  The Company began applying SFAS No. 155 to all financial instruments acquired, issued or subject to a remeasurement event beginning January 1, 2007.  The Company elected the fair value option for $16.6 million of available-for-sale securities during the year ended December 31, 2007.  The election did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)

New and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In September 2005, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the "AICPA") issued Statement of Position 05-1, "Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs in Connection with Modifications or Exchanges of Insurance Contracts" ("SOP 05-1").  SOP 05-1 provides guidance on accounting by insurance enterprises for DAC on internal replacements of insurance and investment contracts.  The adoption of SOP 05-1 on January 1, 2007 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value (“FV option”).  The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reporting earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions.  SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and all interim periods within those fiscal years.

As of January 1, 2008, the Company has adopted the FV option for all available-for-sale fixed maturity securities attributable to certain life, health and annuity products.  At December 31, 2007 such available-for-sale securities had a market value of $10.7 billion and an amortized cost of $11.1 billion.  The adoption of the FV option does not relieve the Company from its obligation to monitor those available-for-sale securities that are in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2007, which the Company will do through its current portfolio monitoring process.

The FV option adoption will result in a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings, accumulated other comprehensive income, DAC, VOBA, deferred tax asset and certain other liabilities.  The Company is currently assessing the impact of the effects of this adoption.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements, but does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value.

SFAS No. 157 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be exchanged to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.  The statement establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels (i.e., Level 1, 2 and 3).  Level 1 inputs are observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.  Level 2 inputs are observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, for the asset or liability or prices for similar assets and liabilities.  Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  SFAS No. 157 requires that a fair value measurement technique include an adjustment for risks inherent in a particular valuation technique (such as a pricing model) and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the model, if market participants would also include such an adjustment.  Quantitative and qualitative disclosures will focus on the inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements and the effects of the measurements in the financial statements.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted (continued)

The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and are to be applied prospectively, except for changes in fair value measurements that result from the initial application of SFAS No. 157, which are to be recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings in the year of adoption.  Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157 and applied the provisions of the statement prospectively to assets and liabilities measured and disclosed at fair value. In addition to new disclosure requirements, the adoption of SFAS No. 157 changes the valuation of embedded derivatives associated with annuity contracts. The change in valuation of embedded derivatives associated with annuity contracts results from the incorporation of risk margins and the Company’s own credit standing in their valuation and changes to assumptions regarding policyholder lapses.  The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 157 on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”). This statement replaces SFAS No. 141 and establishes the principles and requirements for how the acquirer in a business combination: (a) measures and recognizes the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interests in the acquired entity, (b) measures and recognizes positive goodwill acquired or a gain from bargain purchase (negative goodwill), and (c) determines the disclosure information that is useful to users of financial statements in evaluating the nature and financial effects of the business combination. Some of the significant changes to the existing accounting guidance on business combinations made by SFAS No. 141(R) include the following:

 
 
Most of the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity shall be measured at their acquisition-date fair values rather than SFAS No. 141’s requirement to allocate the cost of an acquisition to individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values;
       
 
 
Acquisition-related costs incurred by the acquirer shall be expensed in the periods in which the costs are incurred rather than included in the cost of the acquired entity;
       
 
 
Goodwill shall be measured as the excess of the consideration transferred, including the fair value of any contingent consideration, plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity, over the fair values of the acquired identifiable net assets, rather than measured as the excess of the cost of the acquired entity over the estimated fair values of the acquired identifiable net assets;
       
 
 
Contractual pre-acquisition contingencies are to be recognized at their acquisition date fair values and noncontractual pre-acquisition contingencies are to be recognized at their acquisition date fair values only if it is more likely than not that the contingency gives rise to an asset or liability, whereas SFAS No. 141 generally permits the deferred recognition of pre-acquisition contingencies until the recognition criteria of SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies” are met; and
       
 
 
Contingent consideration shall be recognized at the acquisition date rather than when the contingency is resolved and consideration is issued or becomes issuable.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for and shall be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, with earlier adoption prohibited. Assets and liabilities that arose from business combinations with acquisition dates prior to the SFAS No. 141(R) effective date shall not be adjusted upon adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) with certain exceptions for acquired deferred tax assets and acquired income tax positions. The Company expects to adopt SFAS No. 141(R) on January 1, 2009, and has not yet determined the effect of SFAS No. 141(R) on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements.”  This statement amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements” (“ARB 51”). Noncontrolling interest refers to the minority interest portion of the equity of a subsidiary that is not attributable directly or indirectly to a parent. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards that require for-profit entities that prepare consolidated financial statements to: (a) present noncontrolling interests as a component of equity, separate from the parent’s equity, (b) separately present the amount of consolidated net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the income statement, (c) consistently account for changes in a parent’s ownership interests in a subsidiary in which the parent entity has a controlling financial interest as equity transactions, (d) require an entity to measure at fair value its remaining interest in a subsidiary that is deconsolidated, (e) require an entity to provide sufficient disclosures that identify and clearly distinguish between interests of the parent and interests of noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 applies to all for-profit entities that prepare consolidated financial statements, and affects those for-profit entities that have outstanding noncontrolling interests in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 with earlier adoption prohibited. The Company expects to adopt SFAS No. 160 on January 1, 2009 and has not yet determined the effect of SFAS No. 160 on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2007, the AICPA issued Statement of Position 07-1, “Clarification of the Scope of the Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method Investors for Investments in Investment Companies” (“SOP 07-1”).  SOP 07-1 provides guidance for determining whether an entity is within the scope of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies (“the Guide”).  This statement also addresses whether the specialized industry accounting principles of the Guide should be retained by a parent company in consolidation or by an investor that has the ability to exercise significant influence over the investment company and applies the equity method of accounting to its investment in the entity.  In addition, SOP 07-1 includes certain disclosure requirements for parent companies and equity method investors in investment companies that retain investment company accounting in the parent company’s consolidated financial statements or the financial statements of an equity method investor.  SOP 07-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2007, with earlier application encouraged; however, in November 2007, the FASB decided to (1) delay indefinitely the effective date and (2) prohibit adoption by an entity that has not early adopted SOP 07-1.  The Company did not early adopt SOP 07-1.  SOP 07-1 as currently issued is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Effective September 27, 2007, the Company dissolved the General Partner.  The General Partner was the sole general partner in the Partnership and, as a result, the Partnership had been consolidated with the results of the Company.  The Partnership was organized to purchase subordinated debentures issued by the Parent and to issue partnership capital securities to an affiliated business trust, the Capital Trust.  Effective May 6, 2007, the Parent redeemed $600 million of 8.526% subordinated debentures issued to the Partnership and paid the Partnership an early redemption premium of $25.6 million.  Also effective May 6, 2007, the Partnership redeemed $600 million of the 8.526% partnership capital securities issued to the Capital Trust and paid a premium of $25.6 million to the Capital Trust.  The redemption had no impact on the Company’s net income.  The Partnership was cancelled effective September 27, 2007.

On September 6, 2006 the Company entered into an agreement with the CARS Trust, whereby the Company is the sole beneficiary of the trust.  As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, total assets of the CARS Trust were $57.7 million and $56.6 million, respectively.  As the sole beneficiary of the CARS Trust, the Company is required to consolidate this trust under the requirements of FIN 46.  Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the CARS Trust are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  As of December 31, 2007, the Company recorded in its consolidated balance sheets $53.8 million of trading fixed maturities, $2.9 million of deferred tax, $1.0 million of accrued investment income and $7.9 million of liabilities relating to a total return swap.  As of December 31, 2006, the Company recorded in its consolidated balance sheets $55.3 million of trading fixed maturities, $1.2 million of accrued investment income and $1.7 million of liabilities.

3. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES (CONTINUED)

The Company has an administrative service agreement with Professional Insurance Company (“PIC”), whereby the Company provides personnel and certain services to PIC, as requested.  Reimbursements under this agreement, which are recorded as a reduction of other operating expenses, were $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007.

The Company leases office space to SLOC under lease agreements with terms expiring in December 31, 2009 and options to extend the terms for each of twelve successive five-year terms at fair market rental value, not to exceed 125% of the fixed rent for the term, which is then ending.  Rent received by the Company under the leases amounted to approximately $10.6 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  Rental income is reported as a component of net investment income.

As more fully described in Note 8, the Company is party to several reinsurance transactions with SLOC and other affiliates.

Effective May 31, 2007, Sun Life Financial completed its acquisition of EBG.  Also effective May 31, 2007, SLNY entered into a series of agreements with SLHIC, one of the acquired companies, through which the New York-issued business of SLHIC was transferred to SLNY.  These agreements include a 100% coinsurance agreement for all existing and future new business issued in New York, a renewal rights agreement under which SLNY has exclusive rights to renew in-force business assumed under the reinsurance agreement and an administrative service agreement under which SLNY has agreed to assume direct responsibility for all sales and administration of existing and new business issued in New York.  These agreements, in accordance with SFAS No. 141 were treated as a transfer of net assets between entities under common control. SLNY paid $40 million of total consideration to SLHIC.  SLHIC transferred assets at carrying value of approximately $72 million, including $38.9 million of goodwill and other intangibles, as well as policyholder and other liabilities of approximately $32 million to SLNY.  The Group Protection Segment of the Company reflects a significant increase in business as a result of these agreements. These agreements have allowed the Company to expand its product offerings to include group dental insurance.

As part of the SLHIC to SLNY asset transfer, SLNY received certain intangible assets totaling $31.3 million.  These include the value of distribution, the value of business, and the value of customer renewals acquired.  The value of distribution acquired of $7.5 million is subject to amortization on a straight line basis over its projected economic life of 25 years.  The value of business acquired of $7.6 million is subject to amortization based up on expected premium income over the period from acquisition to the first customer renewal, generally not more than two years.  The value of customer renewals acquired of $16.2 million is subject to amortization based upon expected premium income over the projected life of the inforce business acquired, which is 20 years.  For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recorded $0.1 million, $5.9 million, and $1.9 million for amortization of the value of distribution, the value of business, and the value of customer renewals acquired, respectively.

In 2007, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $3.0 million through paid-in-capital for SLF stock options issued to employees of the Company.  In 2006, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $4.5 million through paid-in-capital for SLF stock options issued to employees of the Company.  In 2005, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $7.0 million through paid-in-capital for stock options issued to employees of the Company during 2001 through 2005.  The $7.0 million tax benefit is comprised of a $2.5 million tax benefit on expenses accrued at its indirect parent, SLF, and a $4.5 million adjustment to record the excess tax benefit over the recorded book expense for stock options exercised.

In 2006, the Company declared and paid $300.0 million in a cash dividend to the Parent.  In 2005, the Company declared and paid a $200.0 million dividend to the Parent, consisting of $150.6 million in cash and $49.4 million in notes.  The Company did not declare or pay a dividend to the Parent in 2007.

3. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES (CONTINUED)

In 2004, the employees of the Company became participants in a restricted share unit (“RSU”) plan with its indirect parent, SLF.  Under the RSU plan, participants are granted units that are equivalent to one common share of SLF stock and have a fair market value of a common share of SLF stock on the date of grant.  RSUs earn dividend equivalents in the form of additional RSUs at the same rate as the dividends on common shares of SLF stock.  The redemption value, upon vesting, is the fair market value of an equal number of common shares of SLF stock.  The Company incurred expenses of $4.4 million, $7.3 million and $7.0 million relating to RSUs for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

In 2002, the Company issued two promissory notes with a combined total of $460 million to Sun Life (Hungary) Group Financing Limited Company ("Sun Life (Hungary) LLC").  The proceeds of the notes were used to purchase fixed rate government and corporate bonds.  On May 24, 2007, the Company redeemed one of the notes with a principal balance of $380 million and paid $388.7 million to Sun Life (Hungary) LLC, including $8.7 million in accrued interest.  At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had $80.0 million and $460.0 million, respectively, in promissory notes issued to Sun Life (Hungary) LLC.  The Company pays interest semi-annually to Sun Life (Hungary) LLC.  Related to these promissory notes, the Company incurred interest expense of $13.3 million, $26.5 million and $26.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had $565.0 million of surplus notes issued to Sun Life Financial (U.S.) Finance, Inc.  The Company expensed $42.6 million for interest on these surplus notes for each of the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005.

4. INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)

OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY’S INVESTMENT HOLDINGS AND PORTFOLIO MONITORING PROCESSES

At December 31, 2007, the Company held $21.1 billion in invested assets and cash.  Of this balance, $15.4 billion was invested in fixed-maturity securities designated as either available-for-sale ($11.5 billion) or trading ($3.9 billion).  Of the $11.5 billion of available-for-sale fixed maturities, securities with a fair value of $7.0 billion were in an unrealized loss position totaling $511.8 million.  At December 31, 2007, 77% of securities in an unrealized loss position, based on fair value, were securities with fair value to amortized cost percentages of greater than or equal to 90%.  The total unrealized loss position for such securities was $193.8 million.

In the available-for-sale fixed maturity portfolio, securities with a fair value of $511.1 million, representing 2.4% of the total invested asset balance, were comprised of below-investment-grade or not-rated securities.  Of the total of the securities that were below-investment-grade or not-rated at December 31, 2007, securities with a fair value of $286.5 million, representing 1.4% of the total invested asset balance, were in an unrealized loss position that totaled $42.3 million.  At December 31, 2007, 53.8% of these securities in an unrealized loss position, based on fair value, were securities with fair value to amortized cost percentages of greater than or equal to 90%.

The Company’s portfolio monitoring process is designed to identify securities that may be other-than-temporarily impaired.  The Company has a Credit Committee comprised of professionals from the investment and accounting functions that meets at least quarterly to review individual issues or issuers that may be of concern.  The process involves a quarterly screening of all impaired securities, with particular attention paid to identify those securities whose fair value to amortized cost percentages have been less than 80% for an extended period of time.  Additionally, the Company screens all sales transactions which generated realized losses in excess of $1.5 million and 10% of amortized cost in order to identify identical securities or issuers which the Company continues to hold.  Discrete credit events, such as a ratings downgrade, are also used to identify securities that may be other-than-temporarily impaired.  The securities identified are then evaluated based on issuer-specific facts and circumstances, such as the issuer’s ability to meet current and future interest and principal payments, an evaluation of the issuer’s financial condition and its near term recovery prospects, difficulties being experienced by an issuer’s parent or affiliate, and management’s assessment of the outlook for the issuer’s sector.  Based on this evaluation, issues or issuers are considered for inclusion on one of the Company’s following credit lists:

“Monitor List”- Management has concluded that the fair value will increase enough to recover the Company’s amortized cost but that changes in issuer-specific facts and circumstances require monitoring on a quarterly basis.  As of December 31, 2007, securities with an amortized cost of $37.3 million and a fair value of $27.2 million were included on the Company’s Monitor List.

“Watch List”- Management has concluded that the fair value will increase enough to recover the Company’s amortized cost but that changes in issuer-specific facts and circumstances require continued monitoring during the quarter.  As of December 31, 2007, securities with an amortized cost of $65.5 million and a fair value of $56.4 million were included on the Company’s Watch List.  A security is moved from the Monitor List to the Watch List when changes in issuer-specific facts and circumstances increase the possibility that a security may become impaired within the next 24 months.

“Impaired List”- Management has concluded that the fair value will not increase enough to recover the Company’s amortized cost and an other-than-temporary-impairment charge is recorded to income or the security is sold and a realized loss is recorded as a charge to income.  Impairments are classified as either credit-related or interest-related.  The Company categorizes impairments as credit-related if there are current concerns regarding the issuers’ ability to pay all principal and interest amounts due, according to the contractual terms of the security or if the decline in fair value of the security is driven by issuer-specific credit events.  The Company characterizes impairments as interest-related if the depression in fair value of the security was due to changes in interest or general credit spread widening and for which the Company has determined it no longer has the intent or ability to hold a security until recovery to amortized cost.  For the year ended December 31, 2007, other-than-temporary impairments of $68.1 million were recorded as a charge to income.  Of this balance, $52 million was credit-related and $16.1 million was interest-related.

4. INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)

OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY’S INVESTMENT HOLDINGS AND PORTFOLIO MONITORING PROCESSES (continued)

At each balance sheet date, management also evaluates securities in an unrealized loss position and determines if the Company has the intent and ability to hold the securities until recovery.  If events or circumstances change, such as unexpected changes in the creditworthiness of the issuer, unanticipated changes in interest rates and/or credit spreads, changes in tax laws or accounting rules, changes in statutory capital requirements, or greater than expected liquidity needs, management will reconsider whether the Company has the intent and ability to hold a security until recovery.  If subsequent to the balance sheet date and due to an unexpected change in circumstances, the Company determines that it no longer intends to hold a security until recovery, a loss is recognized in net income in the period in which the intent to hold to recovery no longer exists.

There are inherent risks and uncertainties in management’s evaluation of securities for other-than-temporary impairment.  These risks and uncertainties include factors both external and internal to the Company, such as general economic conditions, an issuer’s financial condition or near-term recovery prospects, market interest rates, unforeseen events which affect one or more issuers or industry sectors, and portfolio management parameters, including asset mix, interest rate risk, portfolio diversification, duration matching, and greater than expected liquidity needs.  All of these factors could impact management’s evaluation of securities for other-than-temporary impairment.

The Company discontinues accruing income on all of its holdings for issuers that are in default.  Accrued income was not materially impacted by the termination of accrual accounting on these holdings for the year ended December 31, 2007.  The termination of accrual accounting on these holdings reduced previously accrued income by $0.6 million and $1.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company did not have any holding for issuers that were in default.  As of December 31, 2005, the fair market value of holdings for issuers in default was $24.4 million.

The Company’s available-for-sale fixed maturity gross unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2007 was $324.9 million greater than at December 31, 2006.  The increase in unrealized losses was primarily due to general credit spread widening, partially offset by a decrease in interest rates.  Credit spreads widened primarily due to the deterioration of the sub-prime mortgage market and other liquidity disruptions, impacting the overall credit market.

Deterioration in the U.S. housing market, combined with tightened lending conditions and the market’s flight to quality securities, as well as the increased likelihood of a U.S. recession, also caused credit spreads to widen considerably.  The sectors and industries most significantly impacted include mortgage originators, home builders, financial lenders, residential and commercial mortgage backed investments, and other structured products, including consumer loan backed investments.

The sectors in the Company’s portfolio that recognized the largest unrealized losses were financial services, asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities.  As of December 31, 2007, there were 604 securities accounting for unrealized losses of $152.6 million in the Finance sector.   Of these unrealized losses, 83.4% were related to investment grade issues (rated AAA through BBB-).  As of December 31, 2007, there were 1,144 collateralized mortgage obligations, asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities accounting for unrealized losses of $259.4 million. Of the losses, 99.7% were related to investment grade issues (rated AAA through BBB-).  All securities held at December 31, 2007 were subject to the Company’s portfolio monitoring process.

OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY’S INVESTMENT HOLDINGS AND PORTFOLIO MONITORING PROCESSES (continued)

Unrealized Losses (continued)

The Company has exposure to sub-prime and Alt-a residential mortgage-backed securities.  Sub-prime mortgage lending is the origination of residential mortgage loans to customers with weak credit profiles.  Alt-A mortgage lending is the origination of residential mortgage loans to customers who have credit ratings above sub-prime, but do not conform to government sponsored standards.  The combination of these two categories of securities is considered below prime.  The Company is not an originator of residential mortgages.  The slowing U.S. housing market and relaxed underwriting standards of some originators of below-prime loans has recently led to higher delinquency and loss rates especially within the 2006 and 2007 vintage years.  Ninety-seven percent of the Company’s below-prime mortgage-backed securities, based upon fair value, were related to mortgages either issued before 2006 or having an AAA rating.  At December 31, 2007, the Company had exposure to residential sub-prime and Alt-a mortgages of $332.8 million and $176.2 million, respectively, representing approximately 2.4% of the Company's total invested assets.

Because securities issued by the same issuer with different CUSIP numbers typically have different investment characteristics, such as secured or unsecured, shorter or longer maturities, or different interest rates, management’s analyses of unrealized and realized losses are performed at the CUSIP number level.  The Company also considers the credit condition of issuers at the entity level and considers various issues affecting an issuer collectively as facts and circumstances warrant.

Realized Losses

The sales of securities in the year ended December 31, 2007, which were in an unrealized loss position at the time of sale were primarily due to actual liquidity needs that were different from anticipated liquidity needs.  Management responded by selling certain securities that were in an unrealized gain position and by reconsidering the Company’s intent to hold certain securities that were in an unrealized loss position until recovery and selling them at a loss.  The objective of these sales was to keep the portfolio optimally balanced and diversified with respect to asset mix, interest rate risk, yield, duration, and credit quality.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recorded realized losses totaling $52.3 million on sales of securities with an aggregate fair value of $1.8 billion.  The average percentage of selling price to amortized cost was 97%.  The largest single trading loss during the year ended December 31, 2007, was $1.5 million.  $33.8 million of the realized losses were generated by individual losses of $0.5 million or less.

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 75% of the property’s value at the time that the original loan is made.

SECURITIES LENDING

The Company is engaged in certain securities lending transactions, which require the borrower to provide collateral on a daily basis, in amounts in excess of 102% of the fair value of the applicable securities loaned.  The Company retains effective control over all loaned securities and, therefore, continues to report such loaned securities as fixed maturities in its consolidated balance sheet.

Cash collateral received on securities lending transactions is reflected in other invested assets with an offsetting liability recognized in other liabilities for the obligation to return the collateral.  The fair value of collateral held and included in other invested assets was $533.5 million and $895.3 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  Fees earned on securities lending transactions were $2.2 million, $2.3 million and $1.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

LEVERAGED LEASES

The Company is an owner participant in a trust that is a lessor in a leveraged lease agreement entered into on October 21, 1994, under which equipment having an estimated economic life of 25-40 years was originally leased through a VIE for a term of 9.78 years.  During 2001, the lease term was extended until 2010.  The Company's equity investment in this VIE represented 8.33% of the partnership that provided 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 is 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 leveraged lease is included as a part of other invested assets.

The Company's net investment in the leveraged lease is composed of the following elements:

4. INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)

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 Company does not hold or issue any derivative instruments for trading purposes.

As a component of its investment strategy and to reduce its exposure to interest rate risk, the Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements.  Interest rate swap agreements are agreements to exchange with a counter-party interest rate payments of differing character (e.g., fixed-rate payments exchanged for variable-rate payments) based on an underlying principal balance (notional principal) as an economic hedge against interest rate changes. 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 net payment is recorded as a component of derivative income (loss). Because the underlying principal is not exchanged, the Company's maximum exposure to counter-party credit risk is the difference in payments exchanged.  The fair value of swap agreements is included with derivative instruments - receivable (positive position) or derivative instruments - payable (negative position) in the accompanying balance sheet.

The Company utilizes payer swaptions to hedge exposure to interest rate risk.  Swaptions give the buyer the option to enter into an interest rate swap per the terms of the original swaption agreement.  A premium is paid on settlement date and no further cash transactions occur until the positions expire.  At expiration, the swaption either cash settles for value, settles into an interest rate swap, or expires worthless per the terms of the original swaption agreement. Swaptions are carried at fair value which is included in derivative instruments - receivable (positive position) in the accompanying balance sheet and the change in value is offset to derivative income.

The Company utilizes over-the-counter (“OTC”) put options and exchange traded futures on the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index (“S&P 500 Index”) ("S&P", "S&P 500", and "Standard & Poor's" are trademarks of The McGraw Hill Companies, Inc. and have been licensed for use by the Company) and other indexes to hedge against stock market exposure inherent in the GMDB and living benefit features of the Company's variable annuities.  The Company also purchases OTC call options on the S&P 500 Index to economically hedge its obligation under certain fixed annuity contracts.  Options are carried at fair value and are included with derivative instruments - receivable in the Company’s balance sheet.

Standard & Poor’s indexed futures contracts are entered into for purposes of hedging fixed index products.  The interest credited on these 1-, 5-, 7- and 10-year term products is based on the changes in the S&P 500 Index.  On the trade date, an initial cash margin is exchanged.  Daily cash is exchanged to settle the daily variation margin and the offset is recorded in derivative income.

The Company issues annuity contracts that contain a derivative instrument that is embedded in the contract.  Upon issuing the contract, the embedded derivative is separated from the host contract (annuity contract) and is carried at fair value.

DERIVATIVES (continued)

From 2000 through 2002, the Company marketed GICs to unrelated third parties.  Each transaction 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 the currency swaps with interest rate swaps allows the Company to lock in U.S. dollar fixed rate payments for the life of the contract.

Included in derivative gains (losses) are gains (losses) on the translation of foreign currency denominated GIC liabilities of $45.5 million, $(90.2) million and $197.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Beginning in 2005, the Company marketed GICs to unrelated third parties and entered into funding agreements and interest rate swaps as part of this guaranteed investment program.  The interest rate swaps allow the Company to lock in U.S. dollar fixed rate payments for the life of the contracts.

The Company does not employ hedge accounting.  The Company believes that its derivatives provide economic hedges and the cost of formally documenting hedge effectiveness in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No.133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments,” is not justified.  As a result, all changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in the current period operations as a component of derivative income.

Net derivative (loss) income for the years ended December 31 consisted of the following:

The Company is required to pledge and receive collateral for open derivative contracts.  The amount of collateral required is determined by agreed upon thresholds with the counter-parties.  The Company currently pledges cash and U.S. Treasury bonds to satisfy this collateral requirement.  At December 31, 2007 and 2006, $132.9 million and $43.0 million, respectively, of fixed maturities were pledged as collateral and are included with fixed maturities.

7.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

SFAS No. 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 to 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 methods and assumptions were used by the Company in determining the estimated fair value of its financial instruments:

Interest receivable on the above financial instruments is stated at carrying value which approximates fair value.

Cash and cash equivalents: The fair values of cash and cash equivalents are estimated to be cost plus accrued interest.

Fixed maturities, short term investments, and equity securities: The Company determines the fair value of its publicly traded fixed maturities using four primary pricing methods: third-party pricing services, independent dealer quotes, pricing matrices, and pricing models.  Prices are first sought from third-party pricing services; the remaining unpriced securities are priced using one of the remaining three methods.  Third-party pricing services derive the security prices through recently reported trades for identical or similar securities with adjustments for trading volumes and market observable information through the reporting date.  In the event that there are no recent market trades, pricing services and brokers may use pricing matrices and models to develop a security price based on future expected cash flows discounted at an estimated market rate using collateral performance and vintages.

For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005

7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

Investments (continued):  Structured securities, such as CMOs, CMBS, and ABS, are priced using a matrix, fair value model or independent broker quotations.  CMBS securities, which are a subset of the Company's CMO holdings, are priced using the last sale price of the day or a broker quote, if no sales were transacted that day.  Other CMOs and ABS are priced using matrices, models and independent broker quotations.  Typical inputs used by these three pricing methods include, but are not limited to, reported trades, benchmark yields, issuer spreads, bids and/or estimated cash flows and prepayment speeds.  In addition, estimates of expected future prepayments are factors in determining the price of ABS, MBS, CMBS, and CMOs.  These estimates are based on the underlying collateral and structure of the security, as well as prepayment speeds previously experienced in the market at interest rate levels projected for the underlying collateral.  Actual prepayment experience may vary from these estimates.

For privately placed fixed maturities, fair values are estimated using matrices, which take into account credit spreads for publicly traded securities of similar credit risk, maturity, prepayment and liquidity characteristics.  A portion of privately placed fixed maturities are also priced using market prices or dealer quotes.  The fair values of mortgages 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.

The fair value of equity securities are based on quoted market prices.  Equity securities are included as a component of other invested assets.

Mortgages: 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.

Derivative instruments, receivables and payables: The fair values of swaps are based on current settlement values.  The current settlement values are based on dealer quotes and market prices.  Fair values for options and futures are based on dealer quotes and market prices.

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

7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

Separate accounts, assets and liabilities: The estimated fair value of assets held in separate accounts is based on quoted market prices.  The fair value of liabilities related to separate accounts is the amount payable on demand, which excludes surrender charges.

Contractholder deposit funds and other policy liabilities: 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 values of S&P 500 Index and other equity linked embedded derivatives are produced using standard derivative valuation techniques.  GMABs or GMWBs are considered to be derivatives under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and are included in contractholder deposit funds.  The fair value of the embedded derivatives is calculated stochastically using risk neutral scenarios over a fifty-year projection.  Policyholder assumptions are based on experience studies and industry standards.

Long term debt: 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.

8. REINSURANCE

Reinsurance ceded contracts do not relieve the Company from its obligations to policyholders.  The Company remains liable to its policyholders for the portion reinsured to the extent that any reinsurer does not meet the obligations assumed under the reinsurance agreement.  To minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies, the Company regularly evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentrations of credit risk.  Management believes that any liability from this contingency is unlikely.  A brief discussion of the Company’s reinsurance agreements by business segment follows.  (Also, see Note 16 for additional information on the Company's business segments.)

Wealth Management Segment

The Wealth Management Segment manages a closed block of single premium whole life (“SPWL”) insurance policies, a retirement-oriented tax-advantaged life insurance product.  The Company discontinued sales of SPWL’s in response to certain tax law changes in the 1980s.  The Company had SPWL policyholder balances of approximately $1.6 billion and $1.6 billion as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  On December 31, 2003, this entire block of business was reinsured on a funds withheld basis with SLOC, an affiliate.

By reinsuring the SPWL policies, the Company reduced net investment income by $78.2 million, $97.0 million and $82.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  The reduction of net investment income resulting from interest paid on funds withheld includes the impact from net investment income, net derivative (loss) income and net realized investment gains.  The Company also reduced interest credited by $73.0 million, $76.0 million and $57.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  In addition, the Company increased net investment income, relating to an experience rating refund under the reinsurance agreement with SLOC, by $8.9 million, $13.0 and $13.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  The liability for the SPWL policies is included in contractholder deposit funds and other policy liabilities.

Individual Protection Segment

The Company has agreements with SLOC and several unrelated companies, which provide for reinsurance of portions of the net-amount-at-risk under certain individual variable universal life, individual private placement variable universal life, bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”), and corporate owned life insurance (“COLI”) policies. These amounts are reinsured on either a monthly renewable or a yearly renewable term basis.  Fee income was reduced by $21.6 million, $37.8 million and $33.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, to account for these agreements.

8. REINSURANCE (CONTINUED)

Pursuant to a reinsurance agreement with SLOC that was effective November 8, 2007, Sun Life Vermont will fund AXXX reserves, attributable to certain UL policies sold by SLOC through its United States branch (the "Branch").  Sun Life Vermont is reinsuring, on a coinsurance basis, a 100% quota share of SLOC's risk on the UL policies covered under the reinsurance agreement.  New UL business will also be reinsured under this agreement.  Sun Life Vermont's obligations will be secured in part through a reinsurance trust and in part on a funds-withheld basis.  On November 8, 2007 pursuant to reinsurance agreement, the Company recorded total assets of $576.9 million, including a funds withheld reinsurance receivable of $551.8 million, deferred costs of $22.4 million, and other assets of $2.8 million.  Total liabilities assumed on November 8, 2007 of $576.9 million consisted of $553.7 million in contractholder deposit account value, $20.4 million in future contract and policy benefits, and other liabilities of $2.8 million.  As of December 31, 2007, Sun Life Vermont held assumed liabilities of $577.5 million of contractholder deposits and future contract and policy benefits of $23.7 million under the reinsurance agreement and a reinsurance payable to an affiliate of $33.1 million.  At December 31, 2007, Sun Life Vermont held assets consisting of a reinsurance receivable for funds withheld of $626.6 million, a reinsurance receivable for deferred costs of $22.3 million.  In addition, the reinsurance agreement has increased revenues by approximately $29.7 million, and increased expenses by $14.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Funds withheld assets comprised of trading bonds, mortgages and derivatives, amounting to $626.6 million are being held in a separate trust account for the protection of policyholders and claimants of the Branch.  The assets of the trust are managed by SLOC with all of the investment returns, net of expenses, inuring to the Company.  The funds withheld asset is reported in reinsurance receivable.  The coinsurance treaty with funds withheld gives rise to an embedded derivative requiring that it be separated from the host reinsurance contract.  The fair value of the embedded derivative at December 31, 2007 was a $3.1 million liability.  The $3.1 million loss is included in net derivative income.

Effective December 31, 2007, SLNY entered into a reinsurance agreement with SLOC under which SLOC will fund AXXX reserves, attributable to certain UL policies sold by SLNY.  Under this agreement SLNY ceded, and SLOC assumed, on a funds withheld 90% coinsurance basis certain inforce policies at December 31, 2007.  Future new business will also be reinsured under this agreement.  Under the agreement, SLNY ceded $63.1 million of policyholder balances, received a ceding commission of $54.2 million, recorded a funds withheld payable to SLOC of $71.6 million, and recorded a deferred gain of $45.7 million.

Group Protection Segment

The Company, through its subsidiary, SLNY, has an agreement with an unrelated company whereby the unrelated company reinsures the mortality risks of the Company’s group life contracts.  Under this agreement, certain group life mortality benefits are reinsured on a yearly renewable term basis. The agreement provides that the unrelated company will reinsure amounts above $0.7 million per claim for group life contracts ceded by the Company.

The Company, through its subsidiary, SLNY, has an agreement with an unrelated company whereby the unrelated company reinsures the morbidity risks of SLNY’s group stop loss contracts.  Under this agreement, certain stop loss benefits are reinsured on a yearly renewable term basis. The agreement provides that the unrelated company will reinsure specific claims for amounts above $1.0 million per claim for stop loss contracts ceded by SLNY.  The retention limit was raised to $1.5 million for policies sold or renewed on or after January 1, 2006.

The Company, through its subsidiary, SLNY, has an agreement with an unrelated company whereby the unrelated company reinsures the morbidity risks of SLNY’s group long-term disability contracts.  Under this agreement, certain long-term disability benefits are reinsured on a yearly renewable term basis.  The agreement provides that the unrelated company will reinsure amounts in excess of $4,000 per claim per month for long-term disability contracts ceded by SLNY.  The retention limit was raised to $9,000 per claim per month for claims incurred or after January 1, 2006.

The Company, through its subsidiary, SLNY, has an agreement with an unrelated company whereby the unrelated company reinsures 100% of the risks on a quota share basis for certain specific group life and disability policies.

The Company, through its subsidiary, SLNY, has an agreement, effective May 31, 2007, to assume the net risks of SLHIC’s New York issued contracts.

9.  RETIREMENT PLANS

The Company sponsors three non-contributory defined benefit pension plans for its employees and certain affiliated employees.  These plans are the staff qualified pension plan (“retirement plan”), the agents’ qualified pension plan (“agents’ pension plan”) and the staff nonqualified pension plan (“UBF plan”). Expenses are allocated to participating companies based in a manner consistent with the allocation of employee compensation expenses.  The Company's funding policies for the two qualified pension plans are to contribute amounts which at least satisfy the minimum amount required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").  Most pension plan assets consist of separate accounts of SLOC or other insurance company contracts.

Prior to 2006 the Company participated in the UBF plan which was sponsored by SLOC and expensed the portion of the plan cost that was allocated to the Company.  Effective January 1, 2006 the plan was divided, with the Company taking over the benefit obligation and the associated unrecognized gain/loss and prior service cost/credit.  The Company has included the allocated projected benefit obligation (“PBO”) in a separate line in the PBO reconciliation, and accounted for the plan as the Company’s own from that point forward.

The Company uses a measurement date of September 30 for its pension and other post retirement benefit plans.

On September 21, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Company approved amendments pertaining to the retirement plan including the following:

(a) To provide that no one shall become a participant in the plan after December 31, 2005;

(b) To freeze accruals under the plan as of December 31, 2005 for all participants except (i) those participants (x) who are at least age 50 and whose age plus service on January 1, 2006 equals or exceeds 60 and (y) who in 2005 chose to continue their participation in the plan (“Grandfathered participants”), (ii) those participants who are receiving severance or termination payments on December 31, 2005 and (iii) those participants who are receiving amounts paid under the Long Term Disability plan sponsored by the Company on December 31, 2005;

Due to the retirement plan changes, a $1.9 million curtailment charge was recognized in 2005.

Other post retirement benefit plans have been amended as follows:

a) To provide retiree medical coverage where the retiree pays the entire cost of coverage equal to the cost paid by active employees unless the participant is a retiree as of December 31, 2005, a "Grandfathered employee," or a “Rule 75 employee.”

A "Grandfathered employee" shall mean an active employee (i) who retires on or after January 1, 2006 and (ii) who as of January 1, 2006 is at least age 55 with 15 or more years or service and whose age plus service is at least 75.

A "Rule 75 employee" shall mean an active employee (i) who is not a Grandfathered employee, ii) who retires on or after January 1, 2006, and (iii) who, when retires, is at least age 55 with 15 or more years of service and whose age plus service is at least 75.

For Grandfathered and Rule 75 employees, retiree medical coverage is provided at a reduced cost.

On September 29, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans,” which amends SFAS No. 87 and SFAS No. 106 to require recognition of the overfunded or underfunded status of pension and other postretirement benefit plans on the balance sheet. Under SFAS No. 158, gains and losses, prior service costs and credits, and any remaining transition amounts under SFAS No. 87 and SFAS No. 106 that have not yet been recognized through net periodic benefit cost will be recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax effects, until they are amortized as a component of net periodic cost.  The measurement date – the date at which the benefit obligation and plan assets are measured – is required to be the Company's fiscal year end.  SFAS No. 158 is effective for publicly-held companies for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006, except for the measurement date provisions, which are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008.  The Company adopted the balance sheet recognition provisions of SFAS No. 158 at December 31, 2006 and will adopt the year end measurement date in 2008.  As of December 31, 2007, the adoption of SFAS No. 158 as not had a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

9. RETIREMENT PLANS (CONTINUED)

The target allocations were established to reflect the Company’s investment risk posture and to achieve the desired level of return commensurate with the needs of the fund.  The target ranges are based upon a three to five year time horizon and may be changed as circumstances warrant.

The portfolio of investments should, over a period of time, earn a gross annualized rate of return that:

1)
exceeds the assumed actuarial rate;
2)
exceeds the return of customized index created by combining benchmark returns in appropriate weightings based on an average asset mix of funds; and
3)
generates a real rate of return of at least 3% after inflation, and sufficient income or liquidity to pay retirement benefits on a timely basis.

Cash Flow

Due to the over funded status of the retirement plan and the agent’s pension plan, the Company will not be making contributions to those plans in 2008. The Company will be making a contribution of $1.3 million to the UBF plan in 2008.

The Company has estimated the following future benefit payments for the years 2008 through 2017:

 
Pension Benefits
2008
  9,320

Savings and Investment Plan

The Company sponsors and participates in a savings account that qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (“the 401(k) Plan”) for which substantially all employees of at least age 21 are eligible to participate at date of hire. Under the 401(k) Plan, the Company matches, up to specified amounts, the employees’ contributions to the plan.

9. RETIREMENT PLANS (CONTINUED)

On September 21, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Company approved amendments pertaining to the 401(k) Plan including the following.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Savings and Investment Plan also includes a retirement investment account that qualifies under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (“the RIA”).  The Company contributes a percentage of the participant’s eligible compensation determined under the following chart based on the sum of the participant’s age and service on January 1 of the applicable plan year.

Age Plus Service

Less than 40
3%
At least 40 but less than 55
5%

For RIA participants who are at least age 40 on January 1, 2006 and whose age plus service on January 1, 2006 equals or exceeds 45, the Company also contributes to the RIA from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2015, a percentage of the participant’s eligible compensation determined under the following chart based on the participant’s age and service on January 1, 2006.

For RIA participants who did not become participants in the retirement plan before January 1, 2006, the Company made a one-time RIA contribution in January 2006 based on their applicable percentage from the first chart above as of January 1, 2006 and their eligible compensation paid during the period beginning on their hire date and ending on December 31, 2005.

The amount of the 2007 employer contributions under the 401(k) Plan sponsorship for the Company and its affiliates was $21.8 million.  Amounts are allocated to affiliates based on their respective employees’ contributions.  The Company’s portion of the expense was $ 16.1 million, $10.8 million and $4.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  The Company’s 2005 contribution includes a $1.6 million accrued retroactive adjustment related to the January 1, 2006 amendments to the 401(k) Plan.  This retroactive adjustment was funded in 2006.

Other Post-Retirement Benefit Plans

The Company sponsors a post-retirement benefit plan for its employees and certain affiliates employees providing certain health, dental and life insurance benefits (“post-retirement benefits”) for retired employees and dependents (the “Retirement Plan”).  Expenses are allocated to participating companies based on the number of participants.  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.

9. RETIREMENT PLANS (CONTINUED)

On May 31, 2007, as part of Sun Life Financial’s acquisition of EBG, the Company provided prior service credit under its retiree medical plan to the transferred EBG employees not currently eligible for those benefits under the corresponding Genworth plan.  Additionally, as part of the acquisition, the fair value of the liabilities assumed by the Company included the unfunded accumulated postretirement benefit obligation (“APBO”) attributable to the prior service cost associated with the transferred EBG employees.  The final purchase price was adjusted at May 31, 2007 to settle the unfunded APBO undertaken by the Company.

10. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007.  FIN 48 establishes a comprehensive reporting model which addresses how a business entity should recognize, measure, present and disclose uncertain tax positions that the entity has taken or plans to take on a tax return.

As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized a decrease of $5.2 million in the liability for UTBs and related net interest, which was accounted for as an increase to its January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings.  The liability for UTBs related to permanent and temporary tax adjustments, exclusive of interest, was $63.0 million and $54.1 million at December 31, 2007 and January 1, 2007, respectively.  Of the $63.0 million, $6.4 million represents the amount of UTBs that, if recognized, would favorably affect the Company’s effective income tax rate in future periods, exclusive of any related interest.  In addition, consistent with the provisions of FIN 48, the Company reclassified $56.6 million of income taxes from deferred tax liabilities to accrued expenses and taxes at December 31, 2007.

The net increase in the tax liability for UTBs of $8.9 million since the date of adoption resulted from the following:

             
Balance at January 1, 2007
$
 54,086 
   
Gross increases related to tax positions in prior years
 
20,717 
   
Gross decreases related to tax positions in prior years
 
(11,760)
   
Gross increases related to tax positions in current year
 
   
Settlements
 
   
Close of tax examinations/statutes of limitations
 
   
         
Balance at December 31, 2007
   
$
 63,043 
   

The Company has elected on a prospective basis, with the adoption of FIN 48, to recognize interest and penalties accrued related to UTBs in interest expense.  The Company had accrued $10.8 million of gross interest as of January 1, 2007.  During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recognized an additional $2.0 million in gross interest related to UTBs.  The Company has not accrued any penalties.

While the Company expects the amount of unrecognized tax liabilities to change in the next twelve months, it does not expect the change to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.

The Company files federal income tax returns and income tax returns in various state and local jurisdictions.  With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to examinations by the tax authorities in these jurisdictions for tax years before 2001.  In August 2006, the IRS issued a Revenue Agent’s Report for the Company’s tax years 2001 and 2002.  The Company is currently at the Appeals Division of the IRS ("Appeals") with respect to the tax years 2001 and 2002.  In the first quarter of 2007, the IRS commenced an examination of the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for the tax years 2003 and 2004.  This examination is anticipated to be completed by August 1, 2008. While the final outcome of the appeal and ongoing tax examinations is not determinable, the Company does not believe that any adjustments would be material to its financial position.

10. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

The Company makes or receives payments under certain tax sharing agreements with SLC – U.S. Ops Holdings.  Under these agreements, such payments are determined based on the Company’s stand-alone taxable income (as if it were filing as a separate company) and based upon the SLC - U.S. Ops Holdings’ consolidated group’s overall taxable position.  Sun Life Vermont is subject to an adjustment in the amount payable or receivable under its Tax Allocation Agreement to the extent of a subsequent change in its stand-alone taxable income.  Sun Life Vermont is not required to pay SLC – U.S. Ops Holdings for changes in the consolidated federal tax liability that may result from changes in the timing of the utilization of Sun Life Vermont’s losses in the consolidated federal tax return.  The Company received income tax refunds of $16.2 million and $32.0 million in 2007 and 2005, respectively, and made income tax payments of $22.7 million in 2006.

The Company regularly updates its estimates of liabilities for unpaid claims and claims adjustment expenses as new information becomes available and events occur which may impact the resolution of unsettled claims.   Changes in prior estimates are recorded in results of operations in the year such changes are made.

As a result of changes in estimates of insured events in prior years, the liability for unpaid claims and claims adjustment expense decreased by $1.8 million and $1.3 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively.  The favorable development experienced in both years was driven mainly by better than expected loss experience in group life.

For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005

12.  LIABILITIES FOR CONTRACT GUARANTEES (CONTINUED)

The liability for death and income benefit guarantees is established equal to a benefit ratio multiplied by the cumulative contract charges earned, plus accrued interest less contract benefit payments.  The benefit ratio is calculated as the estimated present value of all expected contract benefits divided by the present value of all expected contract charges.  The benefit ratio may be in excess of 100%.  For guarantees in the event of death, benefits represent the current guaranteed minimum death payments in excess of the current account balance.  For guarantees at annuitization, benefits represent the present value of the minimum guaranteed annuity benefits in excess of the current account balance.

Projected benefits and assessments used in determining the liability for contract guarantees are developed using models and stochastic scenarios that are also used in the development of estimated expected future gross profits.  Underlying assumptions for the liability related to income benefits include assumed future annuitization elections based upon factors such as eligibility conditions and the annuitant’s attained age.

The liability for guarantees is re-evaluated regularly, and adjustments are made to the liability balance through a charge or credit to policyholder benefits.

Guaranteed minimum accumulation benefits (“GMABs”) and withdrawal benefits (“GMWBs”) are considered to be derivatives under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," and are recorded at fair value through earnings.  The fair value of the embedded derivatives is calculated stochastically using risk neutral scenarios over a fifty-year projection.  Policyholder assumptions are based on experience studies and industry standards.  The net balance of GMABs and GMWBs constituted (a liability) an asset in the amount of $(37.4) million and $8.4 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

15. CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following consolidating financial statements are provided in compliance with Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in accordance with SEC Rule 12h-5.

The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, SLNY, sells, among other products, combination fixed and variable annuity contracts (the “contracts”) in the State of New York.  These contracts contain a fixed investment option, where interest is paid at a guaranteed rate for a specified period of time, and withdrawals made before the end of the specified period may be subject to a market value adjustment that can increase or decrease the amount of the withdrawal proceeds (the “fixed investment option period”).  Effective September 27, 2007, the Company provided a full and unconditional guarantee (the “guarantee”) of SLNY’s obligation related to SLNY contracts’ fixed investment option period related to policies currently in-force or sold on or after September 30, 2007.  The guarantee relieves SLNY of its obligation to file annual, quarterly, and current reports with the SEC on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and Form 8-K.

In the following presentation of consolidating financial statements, the term "SLUS as Parent" is used to denote the Company as a stand-alone entity, isolated from its subsidiaries and the term "Other Subs" is used to denote the Company's other subsidiaries, with the exception of SLNY.  All consolidating financial statements are presented in thousands.

16. SEGMENT INFORMATION

As described below, the Company conducts business principally in three operating segments and maintains a Corporate Segment to provide for the capital needs of the three operating segments and to engage in other financing related activities. Each segment is defined consistently with the way results are evaluated by the chief operating decision-maker.

Net investment income is allocated based on segmented assets by line of business.  Allocations of operating expenses among segments are made using both standard rates and actual expenses incurred.  Management evaluates the results of the operating segments on an after-tax basis.  The Company does not depend on one or a few customers, brokers or agents for a significant portion of its operations.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted a new capital allocation methodology for measurement of segment operating results to more closely align with rating agency standards.  The changes impact the amount of capital and income on capital that is allocated to the Wealth Management, Individual Protection and Group Protection Segments from the Corporate Segment.

Wealth Management

The Wealth Management Segment markets, sells and administers funding agreements, individual and group variable annuity products, individual and group fixed annuity products and other retirement benefit products.  These contracts may contain any of a number of features including variable or fixed interest rates and equity index options and may be denominated in foreign currencies.  The Company uses derivative instruments to manage the risks inherent in the contract options.  Additionally, the Company consolidates the CARS Trust as a component of the Wealth Management Segment.

Individual Protection

The Individual Protection Segment markets, sells and administers a variety of life insurance products sold to individuals and corporate owners of life insurance. The products include whole life, universal life and variable life products.

Group Protection

The Group Protection Segment markets, sells and administers group life, long-term disability, short-term disability, dental and stop loss insurance to small and mid-size employers in the State of New York, through the Company's subsidiary, SLNY.

Corporate

The Corporate Segment includes the unallocated capital of the Company, its debt financing, certain consolidated investments in VIEs, and items not otherwise attributable to the other segments.

17.  REGULATORY FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Company and its insurance subsidiaries are required to file annual statements with state regulatory authorities prepared on a statutory accounting basis prescribed or permitted by such authorities.  For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, there were no permitted practices followed.  Statutory surplus differs from stockholder's equity reported in accordance with GAAP primarily because policy acquisition costs are expensed when incurred, policy liabilities are based on different assumptions, investments are valued differently, post-retirement benefit costs are based on different assumptions, and deferred income taxes are calculated differently.  The Company’s statutory financials are not prepared on a consolidated basis.

At December 31, the Company and its insurance subsidiaries combined statutory capital and surplus and net income were as follows:

18. DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS

The Company’s and its insurance company subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends is subject to certain statutory restrictions.  Delaware, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont have enacted laws governing the payment of dividends to stockholders by domestic insurers.

Pursuant to Delaware's statute, the maximum amount of dividends and other distributions that a domestic insurer may pay in any twelve-month period without prior approval of the Delaware Commissioner of Insurance is limited to the greater of (i) ten percent 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.  Any dividends to be paid by an insurer from a source other than statutory surplus, whether or not in excess of the aforementioned threshold, would also require the prior approval of the Delaware Commissioner of Insurance.  The Company is permitted to pay dividends up to a maximum of $179.0 million in 2008 without prior approval from the Delaware Commissioner of Insurance.

20. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Regulation and Regulatory Developments

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.  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 pursuant to these laws may be used as credits for a portion of the associated premium taxes.

Litigation, Income Taxes and Other Matters

In Revenue Ruling 2007-61, issued on September 25, 2007, the IRS announced its intention to issue regulations with respect to certain computational aspects of the dividends-received-deduction (the “DRD”) on separate account assets held in connection with variable annuity contracts.  Revenue Ruling 2006-61 suspended Revenue Ruling 2007-54, issued on August 16, 2007, that purported to change accepted industry and IRS interpretations of the statutes governing computational questions impacting the DRD.  New DRD regulations that the IRS proposes for issuance on this matter will be subject to public comment, at which time the insurance industry and other interested parties will have the opportunity to raise comments and questions about the content, scope, and application of new regulations.  The timing, substance, and effective date of the new regulations are unknown, but they could result in the elimination of some or all of the separate account DRD tax benefit that the Company ultimately receives.  For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recorded a benefit of $12.0 million related to the separate account DRD.

The Company is not aware of any contingent liabilities arising from litigation or other matters that could have a material effect upon the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Indemnities

In the normal course of its business, the Company has entered into agreements that include indemnities in favor of third parties, such as contracts with advisors and consultants, outsourcing agreements, underwriting and agency agreements, information technology agreements, distribution agreements, and service agreements.  The Company has also agreed to indemnify its directors and certain of its officers and employees in accordance with the Company’s by-laws.  The Company believes any potential liability under these agreements is neither probable nor estimatable.

2008

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of
Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.)
Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholder’s equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007.  Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15.  These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No.109”.

Pursuant to Section 145 of the Delaware Corporation Law, Article 8 of the By-laws of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) 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.
