PROSPECTUS FOR

THE PREFERRED ADVISOR VARIABLE ANNUITY

INDIVIDUAL FLEXIBLE PURCHASE PAYMENT

DEFERRED VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACT

ISSUED BY

KMA VARIABLE ACCOUNT

AND

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

This prospectus describes the Preferred Advisor variable annuity contract offered by Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.). The contract is designed to help you in your long-term retirement planning. As of May 1, 1998, the Contracts were no longer offered for sale.

Under the Contract, you may elect to have value accumulate on a variable or fixed basis. You may also elect to receive periodic annuity payments on either a variable or a fixed basis. This prospectus generally describes only the variable features of the Contract. For a summary of the Fixed Account and its features, see Appendix A. The Contracts are designed to help you in your retirement planning. You may purchase them on a tax qualified or non-tax qualified basis. Because they are offered on a flexible payment basis, you are permitted to make multiple payments.

We will allocate your purchase payments to the investment options and the Fixed Account in the proportions you choose. The Contract currently offers nine investment options, each of which is a Sub-account of KMA Variable Account. Currently, you may choose among the Sub-accounts investing in the following Eligible Funds:

<R>

STEINROE VARIABLE INVESTMENT TRUST: Liberty Money Market Fund, Variable Series ; Liberty Federal Securities Fund, Variable Series; Liberty Asset Allocation Fund, Variable Series; Stein Roe Growth Stock Fund, Variable Series; and Liberty Small Company Growth Fund, Variable Series

Liberty Variable Investment Trust: Colonial Strategic Income Fund, Variable Series; Liberty Growth & Income Fund, Variable Series ; Columbia International Fund, Variable Series; and Newport Tiger Fund, Variable Series

</R>

We may make other investment options available in the future.

If you purchased a variable annuity contract before May 1, 1992, you may continue to make purchase payments under that contract subject to the terms and conditions of those contracts and Appendix B.

The purchase of a Contract involves certain risks. Investment performance of the Sub-accounts may vary based on the performance of the related Eligible Funds. We do not guarantee any minimum Contract Value for amounts allocated to the Sub-accounts.

The Variable Account may offer other contracts with different features, fees and charges, and other Sub-accounts which may invest in different or additional mutual funds. Separate prospectuses and statements of additional information will describe other contracts. The agent selling the Contracts has information concerning the eligibility for and the availability of the other contracts.

This prospectus contains important information about the Contracts you should know before investing. You should read it before investing and keep it for future reference. We have filed a Statement of Additional Information ("SAI") with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The current SAI has the same date as this prospectus and is incorporated by reference in this prospectus. You may obtain a free copy by writing us at P.O. Box 9133, Wellesley Hills, MA 02481, by calling (800) 437-4466, or by returning the postcard on the back cover of this prospectus. A table of contents for the SAI appears on page 32 of this prospectus.

<R>

The date of this prospectus is April 30, 2004.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has not approved or disapproved these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

SUMMARY OF CONTRACT FEATURES

This summary does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should read the entire prospectus and Statement of Additional Information before deciding to invest. Further, individual state requirements, that differ from the information in this prospectus, are described in supplements to this prospectus or in endorsements to the Contracts.

The Contract

The Contract is a flexible premium deferred variable annuity contract. It is designed for retirement planning purposes. It allows you to allocate purchase payments to and receive annuity payments from the Variable Account and/or the Fixed Account.

The Variable Account is a separate investment account we maintain. If you allocate payments to the Variable Account, your accumulation values and annuity payments will fluctuate according to the investment performance of the Eligible Funds chosen.

The Fixed Account is part of our "general account", which consists of all our assets except the Variable Account and the assets of other separate investment accounts we maintain. If you allocate payments to the Fixed Account, your accumulation value will increase at guaranteed interest rates and annuity payments will be of a fixed amount. (See Appendix A for more information on the Fixed Account.)

If you allocate payments to both the Variable and the Fixed Accounts, then the accumulation value and annuity payments will be variable in part and fixed in part.

Purchase Payments

You may make multiple purchase payments. The minimum initial payment is $5,000. The minimum amount for each subsequent payment is $1,000 or a lesser amount as we may permit from time to time which is currently $250. (See "Purchase Payments and Applications".)

Investment Choices

You can allocate and reallocate your investment among the Sub-accounts of the Variable Account which in turn invest in the Eligible Funds. Each Eligible Fund holds its assets separately from the assets of the other Eligible Funds. Each has its own investment objectives and policies described in the accompanying prospectuses for the Eligible Funds. Under the Contract, the Variable Account currently invests in the following:

SteinRoe Variable Investment Trust ("SteinRoe Trust")

Liberty Asset Allocation Fund, Variable Series ("LAAF Sub-account")

Liberty Federal Securities Fund, Variable Series ("LFSF Sub-account")

Liberty Money Market Fund, Variable Series ("LMMF Sub-account")

Liberty Small Company Growth Fund, Variable Series ("LSCGF Sub-account")

Stein Roe Growth Stock Fund, Variable Series ("SRGSF Sub-account")

Liberty Variable Investment Trust ("Liberty Trust")

<R>

Colonial Strategic Income Fund, Variable Series ("CSIF Sub-account")

Columbia International Fund, Variable Series ("CIF Sub-account")

Liberty Growth & Income Fund, Variable Series ("LGIF Sub-account")

Newport Tiger Fund, Variable Series ("NTF Sub-account")

</R>

Fees and Charges

     Contingent Deferred Sales Charge

There are no sales charges at the time of your purchase payment. We may deduct a charge in the event of a total or partial surrender. That charge is based on a table of charges. The charge will not exceed 7% of that portion of the amount you surrender that represents purchase payments you made during the seven years immediately preceding your request for surrender. (See "Deductions for Contingent Deferred Sales Charge".)

     Mortality and Expense Risk Charge

We deduct a mortality and expense risk charge at an annual rate of 1.25% of your average daily net asset values in the Variable Account. (See "Deductions for Mortality and Expense Risk Charge".)

     Sales Charge

We deduct a daily sales charge at an annual rate of .15% of your average daily net asset values in the Variable Account. (See "Deductions for Sales Charge".)

     Contract Maintenance Charge

We deduct an annual $36 contract maintenance charge from Variable Account Value for administrative expenses. (See "Deductions for Contract Maintenance Charge".)

     Premium Taxes

We charge premium taxes against your Contract Value. Currently such premium taxes range from 0% to 3.5%. (See "Deductions for Premium Taxes".)

     Federal Income Taxes

You will not pay federal income taxes on the increases in value of your Contract until you make a withdrawal, such as a lump sum payment or annuity payment or make a gift or assignment. Some withdrawals may also be subject to a 10% federal penalty tax. (See "Tax Status".)

Free Look

Generally, you may revoke the Contract by returning it to us within ten days after you receive it. For most states, we will refund the lesser of the initial purchase payment or Contract Value as of the date we receive the returned Contract. You will bear the investment risk during the revocation period. You may ask us for the rules that apply to your state. (See "Right to Revoke".)

FEE TABLE

Contract Owner Transaction Expenses

The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you will pay when buying, owning, and surrendering the Contract. The first table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay at the time that you buy the Contract, surrender the Contract, or transfer cash value between investment options. State premium taxes may also be deducted.

Sales Load Imposed on Purchases
(as a percentage of purchase payments):	0%

Maximum Contingent Deferred Sales Charge
(as a percentage of purchase payments):	7%*
Maximum Transfer Charge (currently $0):	$25**
Premium Taxes
(as a percentage of Contract Value or total purchase payments):	0% - 3.5%***

*Completed years from Date of Purchase Payment	Sales Charge
Up to 1	7%
2	6%
3	5%
4	4%
5	3%
6	2%
7	1%
8 or later	0%

Surrender charges are deducted only if you totally or partially surrender the Contract. We will reduce any otherwise applicable surrender charge if it would cause the total surrender charge you have paid plus the daily sales charges attributable to your Contract to exceed the "maximum cumulative sales charge" as described in "Deductions for Contingent Deferred Sales Charge".

**Applicable to each transfer after the first twelve transfers in each Contract Year. We are currently waiving this fee. We reserve the right to impose a transfer fee after we notify you. See "Deductions for Transfers of Variable Account Value."

***The premium tax rate and base vary by state and the type of Contract you own. Currently, we deduct premium taxes from Contract Value upon full surrender (including a surrender for the death benefit) or annuitization. See "Deductions for Premium Taxes."

The next table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay periodically during the time that you own the Contract, not including Eligible Fund fees and expenses.

Annual Contract Maintenance Charge $36

Variable Account Annual Expenses

(as a percentage of average net assets)

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge:	1.25%
Daily Sales Charge:	.15%*
Total Variable Account Annual Expenses:	1.40%

* This charge compensates us for certain sales distribution expenses related to the Contract.

The next item shows the minimum and maximum total operating expenses charged by the Eligible Funds that you may pay periodically during the time that you own the Contract. More detail concerning each Eligible Fund's fees and expenses is contained in the prospectus for each Eligible Fund.

<R>

Total Annual Eligible Fund Operating Expenses	Minimum	Maximum
(as a percentage of average daily net assets)
(Expenses that are deducted from Eligible Fund assets including management fees, and other expenses)	0.58%	1.52%1

1The expenses shown do not reflect any fee waiver or expense reimbursement.

The advisers and/or other service providers of certain Eligible Funds have agreed to reduce their fees and/or reimburse the Eligible Funds' expenses in order to keep the Eligible Funds' expenses below specified limits. All of the Eligible Funds have voluntary fee reduction and/or expense reimbursement arrangements that may be terminated at any time. The minimum and maximum Total Annual Operating Expenses for all Eligible Funds, after all fee reductions and expense reimbursements are taken into consideration, fall within the range shown. Each fee reduction and/or expense reimbursement arrangement is described in the relevant Eligible Fund's prospectus.

</R>

THE ABOVE EXPENSES FOR THE ELIGIBLE FUNDS WERE PROVIDED BY THE ELIGIBLE FUNDS. WE HAVE NOT INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED THE ACCURACY OF THE INFORMATION.

EXAMPLES

The Examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include Contract Owner transaction expenses, Contract fees, Variable Account annual expenses, and Eligible Fund fees and expenses, and are based on a sample Contract with the maximum possible fees.

The Examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated. The Examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year and assume the maximum fees and expenses of any of the Eligible Funds. In addition, the Examples assume no transfers were made and no premium taxes were deducted. If these arrangements were considered, the expenses shown would be higher. The Examples also do not take into consideration any fee waiver or expense reimbursement arrangements of the Eligible Funds. If these arrangements were taken into consideration, the expenses shown would be lower.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

(1) If you surrender your Contract at the end of the applicable time period:

<R>

1 year	3 years	5 years	10 years
$1,000	$1,442	$2,019	$4,095

(2) If you annuitize your Contract OR if you do not surrender your Contract at the end of the applicable time period:

1 year	3 years	5 years	10 years
$300	$963	$1,720	$4,095

</R>

The Examples do not show the effect of premium taxes. Premium taxes (which range from 0% to 3.5%) are deducted from Contract Value upon full surrender, death or annuitization.The Examples also do not include any of the taxes or penalties you may be required to pay if you surrender your Contract.

The Fee Table and Examples should not be considered a representation of past or future expenses and charges of the Sub-accounts. Your actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown. Similarly, the 5% annual rate of return assumed in the Examples are not an estimate or a guarantee of future investment performance. See "Deductions" in this prospectus and "Trust Management Organizations" in the prospectuses for Liberty Trust and SteinRoe Trust.

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

We may from time to time advertise certain performance information concerning the Sub-accounts.

Performance information is not intended to indicate either past performance or future performance of an actual Contract.

We may advertise total return information for the Sub-accounts, other than LMMF Sub-account, for various periods of time. Total return performance information is based on the overall percentage change in value of a hypothetical investment in the Sub-account over a given period of time.

Average annual total return information shows the average annual compounding change percentage applied to the value of an investment in the Sub-account from the beginning of the measuring period to the end of that period. Average annual total return reflects historical investment results, less all Sub-account and Contract charges and deductions as required by certain regulatory rules. This calculation also reflects any contingent deferred sales charge that would apply if you surrendered the Contract at the end of the period indicated. We do not deduct any premium taxes from average annual total return. Average annual total return would be less if these taxes were deducted.

In order to calculate average annual total return, we divide the change in value of a Sub-account under a Contract surrendered on a particular date by a hypothetical $1,000 investment in the Sub-account. We then annualize the resulting total rate for the period to obtain the average annual compounding percentage change during the period.

We also may present additional total return information computed on a different basis:

o First, we may present total return information as described above, except for the deduction for the contingent deferred sales charge. This presentation assumes that the investment in the Contract continues beyond the period when the contingent deferred sales charge applies. This is consistent with the long-term investment and retirement objectives of the contract. The total return percentage will be higher under this method than the standard method described above.

o Second, we may present total return information as described above, except there are no deductions for the contingent deferred sales charge, contract maintenance charge and premium taxes. Because there are no charges deducted, the calculation is simplified. We divide the change in a Sub-account's Accumulation Unit value over a specified time period by the Accumulation Unit value of that Sub-account at the beginning of the period. This computation results in a twelve-month change rate. For longer periods, it is a total rate for the period. We annualize the total rate in order to obtain the average annual percentage change in the Accumulation Unit value for that period. The percentages would be lower if the contingent deferred sales charge and contract maintenance charge were included.

o Third, certain of the Eligible Funds have been available for other annuity contracts prior to the beginning of the offering of the Contracts described in this prospectus. Any performance information for such periods will be based on historical results of the Eligible Funds and applying the fees and charges of the Contract for the specified time periods.

Moreover, the performance information for each SteinRoe Trust Sub-account may reflect the investment experience of the current Eligible Funds and Eligible Funds previously available under the Variable Account. The Eligible Funds of the SteinRoe Variable Investment Trust replaced these other mutual funds beginning January 1, 1989. These other funds had a different investment adviser (Keystone Custodian Funds, Inc.) than the SteinRoe Trust (Stein Roe & Farnham, Incorporated). See Appendix B. Performance information for periods prior to May 1, 1989 will reflect historical asset-based charges that are at a lower level than the current asset-based charges.

The LMMF Sub-account is a money market Sub-account that may advertise yield and effective yield information. The yield of the Sub-account refers to the income generated by an investment in the Sub-account over a specifically identified seven-day period. We annualize this income by assuming that the amount of income generated by the investment during that week is generated each week over a fifty-two week period. It is shown as a percentage. The yield reflects the deduction of all charges assessed against the Sub-account and a Contract but does not include contingent deferred sales charges and premium taxes. The yield would be lower if these charges were included.

We calculate the effective yield of the LMMF Sub-account in a similar manner but, when annualizing such yield, we assume income earned by the Sub-account is reinvested. This compounding effect causes effective yield to be higher than yield.

SUN LIFE (U.S.) AND THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT

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, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and we have an insurance company subsidiary that does business in New York. The Executive Office mailing address is One Sun Life Executive Park, Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts 02481.

We are an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada ("Sun Life (Canada)"). Sun Life (Canada) completed its demutualization on March 22, 2000. As a result of the demutualization, a new holding company, Sun Life Financial Inc. ("Sun Life Financial"), is now the ultimate parent of Sun Life (Canada) and Sun Life (U.S.). 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.

Effective December 31, 2003, Keyport Life Insurance Company ("Keyport") merged with and into Sun Life (U.S.), with Sun Life (U.S.) as the surviving entity. Keyport was an affiliate of Sun Life (U.S.). Keyport was a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of the State of Rhode Island in 1957. Keyport was acquired by Sun Life Financial in November 2001 from Liberty Financial Companies, Inc., a subsidiary of Liberty Mutual Insurance Company of Boston, Massachusetts.

Upon the merger, Keyport ceased to exist, and Sun Life (U.S.) became the surviving company. As a result of the merger, the Variable Account became a separate account of Sun Life (U.S.). All of the Contracts issued by Keyport before the merger were, at the time of the merger, assumed by Sun Life (U.S.). The merger did not affect any provisions of or right or obligations under, those Contracts.

In approving the merger, the board of directors of Sun Life (U.S.) and Keyport determined that the merger would result in operational and financial efficiencies, which would be in the long-term interests of their respective contract owners. On June 4, 2003, the respective 100% stockholders of Sun Life (U.S.) and Keyport voted to approve the merger. In addition, the Department of Insurance of the State of Rhode Island has approved the merger.

We are a member of the Insurance Marketplace Standards Association ("IMSA"), and as such may use the IMSA logo and membership in IMSA in advertisements. Being a member means that we have chosen to participate in IMSA's Life Insurance Ethical Market Conduct Program.

The Variable Account was established by Keyport, a predecessor of Sun Life (U.S.), on January 9, 1980, pursuant to the provisions of Rhode Island law, as a segregated investment account. One December 31, 2003, Keyport was merged with and into Sun Life (U.S.). The Variable Account survived the merger intact. The Variable Account meets the definition of "separate account" under the federal securities laws. The Variable Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Such registration does not mean the Securities and Exchange Commission supervises us or the management of the Variable Account.

Obligations under the Contracts are our obligations. Although the assets of the Variable Account are our property, these assets are held separately from our other assets and are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business we may conduct. Income, capital gains and/or capital losses, whether or not realized, from assets allocated to the Variable Account are credited to or charged against the Variable Account without regard to the income, capital gains, and/or capital losses arising out of any other business we may conduct.

PURCHASE PAYMENTS AND APPLICATIONS

The initial purchase payment is due on the Issue Date. The minimum initial purchase payment is $5,000. You may make additional purchase payments. Each subsequent purchase payment must be at least $1,000 or any lesser amount we may permit, which is currently $250. We may reject any purchase payment or any application.

If your application for a Contract is complete and amounts are to be allocated to the Variable Account, we will apply your initial purchase payment to the Variable Account within two business days of receipt. If the application is incomplete, we will notify you and try to complete it within five business days. If it is not complete at the end of this period, we will inform you of the reason for the delay. The purchase payment will be returned immediately unless you specifically consent to our keeping the purchase payment until the application is complete. Once the application is complete, the purchase payment will be applied within two business days of its completion. Additional purchase payments are allocated to a Contract based on the applicable Sub-account accumulation unit value(s) next determined after we receive it.

We will send you a written notification showing the allocation of all purchase payments and the re-allocation of values after any transfer you have requested. You must notify us immediately of any error. You may contact our Client Service Department at (800) 367-3653. If you fail to notify us within 60 days, we will not assume responsibility for correcting the error.

We will permit others to act on your behalf in certain instances, including:

o We will accept an application for a Contract signed by an attorney-in-fact if we receive a copy of the power of attorney with the application.

o We will issue a Contract to replace an existing life insurance or annuity policy that we or an affiliated company issued even though we did not previously receive a signed application from you.

Certain dealers or other authorized persons such as employers and Qualified Plan fiduciaries may inform us of your responses to application questions by telephone or by order ticket and cause the initial purchase payment to be paid to us. If the information is complete, we will issue the Contract with a copy of an application containing that information. We will send you the Contract and a letter so you may review the information and notify us of any errors. We may request you to confirm that the information is correct by signing a copy of the application or a Contract delivery receipt. We will send you a written notice confirming all purchases. Our liability under any Contract relates only to amounts so confirmed.

INVESTMENTS OF THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT

Allocations of Purchase Payments

We will invest your purchase payments in the Sub-accounts you have chosen. Your selection must specify the percentage of the purchase payment that is allocated to each Sub-account. The percentage for each Sub-account, if not zero, must be at least 10% and a whole number. You may change the allocation percentages without fee, penalty or other charge. You must notify us in writing of your allocation changes unless you, your attorney-in-fact, or another authorized person have given us written authorization to accept telephone allocation instructions. By allowing us to accept telephone changes, you agree to accept and be bound by our current conditions and procedures. The current conditions and procedures are in Appendix C. We will notify you of any changes in advance.

The Variable Account is segmented into Sub-accounts. Each Sub-account contains the shares of one of the Eligible Funds and such shares are purchased at net asset value. We may add or withdraw Eligible Funds and Sub-accounts as permitted by applicable law.

Eligible Funds

The Eligible Funds are the separate funds listed within the SteinRoe Variable Investment Trust and Liberty Variable Investment Trust. Sun Life (U.S.) and the Variable Account may enter into agreements with other mutual funds for the purpose of making such mutual funds available as Eligible Funds under certain Contracts.

We do not promise that the Eligible Funds will meet their investment objectives. Amounts you have allocated to Sub-accounts may grow, decline, or grow less in value than you expect, depending on the investment performance of the Eligible Funds in which the Sub-accounts invest. You bear the investment risk that those Eligible Funds possibly will not meet their investment objectives. You should carefully review their prospectuses before allocating amounts to the Sub-accounts of the Variable Account.

All of the Eligible Funds are funding vehicles for other variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies offered by our separate accounts. The Eligible Funds are also available for the separate accounts of insurance companies affiliated and unaffiliated with us. The risks involved in this "mixed and shared funding" are disclosed in the Liberty Trust and SteinRoe Trust prospectuses under the caption "The Trust".

Columbia Management Advisers, Inc. ("Columbia") is the investment adviser for the Eligible Funds of Liberty Trust and SteinRoe Trust.

We have briefly described the Eligible Funds and the objectives they seek to achieve below. You should read the current prospectus for the Eligible Funds for more details and complete information. The prospectus is available, at no charge, from a salesperson or by writing to us at P.O. Box 9133, Wellesley Hills, MA 02481 or by calling (800) 437-4466.

Dollar Cost Averaging

Under the program, we make automatic transfers of Accumulation Units on a periodic basis out of the LMMF Sub-account or the One-Year Guarantee Period Fixed Account option into one or more of the other available Sub-accounts you select. The program allows you to invest in the Sub-accounts over time rather than all at once. The program is available for purchase payments and amounts transferred into the LMMF Sub-account or the One-Year Guarantee Period Fixed Account option. We reserve the right to limit the number of Sub-accounts you may choose. Currently, there are no limits. If you wish to participate in the program, you must notify us in writing. The One-Year Guarantee Period Fixed Account option of the program is not available under Contracts issued to New Jersey and Washington residents.

A transfer under the program is not subject to a transfer fee and will not be counted as a transfer for purposes of the limitations in "Transfer of Variable Account Value" below. The automatic transfer program does not guarantee a profit nor does it protect against loss in declining markets. We impose no charge for participating in the dollar cost averaging program. The program is described in detail in Appendix D.

Transfer of Variable Account Value

You may transfer Variable Account Value from one Sub-account to another Sub-account and/or to the Fixed Account.

We may charge a transfer fee and limit the number of transfers that you can make in a time period. Transfer limitations may prevent you from making a transfer on the date you select. This may result in your Contract Value being lower than it would have been if you had been able to make the transfer.

Limits on Transfers

Currently, we do not charge a transfer fee. We will notify you prior to charging any transfer fee or a change in the limitation on the number of transfers. The fee will not exceed $25. Contracts delivered in Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Texas contain a stated maximum of $15 per transfer.

We are limiting transfers as follows:

o we impose a transfer limit of one transfer every 30 days, or such other period as we may permit with notification of the change to all Contract Owners prior to its effectiveness, and

o we limit each transfer to a maximum of $2,000,000, or such greater amount as we may permit with notification of the change to all Contract Owners prior to its effectiveness. We treat all transfer requests for a Contract made on the same day as a single transfer. We may treat as a single transfer all transfers you request on the same day for every Contract you own. The total combined transfer amount is subject to the maximum limitation. If the total amount of the requested transfers exceeds the maximum, we will not execute any of the transfers, and

o we treat as a single transfer all transfers made on the same day on behalf of multiple Contracts by a common attorney-in-fact, or transfers that are, in our determination, based on the recommendation of a common investment adviser or broker/dealer. The maximum limitation applies to such transfers. If the total amount of the requested transfers exceeds the maximum, we will not execute any of the transfers.

If we have executed a transfer with respect to your Contract as part of a multiple transfer request, we will not execute another transfer request for your Contract for 30 days.

Transactions pursuant to optional investment-related programs are not considered in the application of these limits.

We reserve the right to waive transfer limitations, where permitted by law and not adverse to the interests of the relevant Eligible Fund and other shareholders, in the following instances:

o When a new broker of record is designated for the Certificate;

o When the Certificate Owner changes;

o When control of the Certificate passes to the designated beneficiary upon death of the Owner or Annuitant;

o When necessary in our view to avoid hardship to a Certificate Owner;

o When Eligible Funds are dissolved or merged or substituted.

We reserve the right to change these limitations and exceptions at any time. Any change will be applied uniformly. We will notify you of any change prior to its effectiveness.

By applying these limitations we intend to protect the interests of individuals who do and those who do not engage in significant transfer activity among Sub-accounts. We have determined that the actions of individuals engaging in significant transfer activity may adversely affect the performance of the Eligible Fund for the Sub-account involved. The movement of values from one Sub-account to another may prevent the appropriate Eligible Fund from taking advantage of investment opportunities because it must maintain a liquid position in order to handle redemptions. Such movement may also cause a substantial increase in Eligible Fund transaction costs which all Contract Owners must indirectly bear.

You must notify us in writing of your transfer requests unless you have given us written authorization to accept telephone transfer requests from you or your attorney-in-fact. By authorizing us to accept telephone transfer instructions, you agree to accept our current conditions and procedures. The current conditions and procedures are in Appendix C. You will be given prior notification of any changes. A person acting on your behalf as an attorney-in-fact may make written transfer requests.

If we receive your transfer requests before 4:00 P.M. Eastern Time, we will initiate them at the close of business that day. We will initiate any requests received after that time at the close of the next business day. We will execute your request to transfer value by both redeeming and acquiring Accumulation Units on the day we initiate the transfer.

If you transfer 100% of any Sub-account's value, and the allocation formula for purchase payments on your application includes that Sub-account, the allocation formula for future purchase payments will automatically change unless you tell us otherwise.

Substitution of Eligible Funds and Other Variable Account Changes

If shares of any of the Eligible Funds are no longer available for investment by the Variable Account or further investment in the shares of an Eligible Fund is no longer appropriate under the Contract, we may add or substitute shares of another Eligible Fund or of another mutual fund for Eligible Fund shares already purchased or to be purchased in the future. Any substitution of securities will comply with the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

We also reserve the right to make the following changes in the operation of the Variable Account and Eligible Funds:

o to operate the Variable Account in any form permitted by law;

o to take any action necessary to comply with applicable law or obtain and continue any exemption from applicable law;

o to transfer any assets in any Sub-account to another or to one or more separate investment accounts, or to our general account;

o to add, combine or remove Sub-accounts in the Variable Account; and

o to change how we assess charges, so long as we do not increase them above the current total charged to the Variable Account and the Eligible Funds in connection with your Contract.

DEDUCTIONS

Deductions for Contract Maintenance Charge

We charge an annual contract maintenance charge of $36 per Contract Year. This charge reimburses us for our expenses incurred in maintaining your Contract. We may not change the contract maintenance charge of any Contract delivered in Pennsylvania, South Carolina, or Texas to be greater than $100 per year. There is no such limit under Contracts delivered in other jurisdictions.

Before the Income Date, we will deduct the contract maintenance charge from the Variable Account Value on each Contract Anniversary and on the date of any total surrender not falling on the Contract Anniversary.

On the Income Date, we will subtract from Variable Account Value a pro-rata portion of the contract maintenance charge due on the next Contract Anniversary. This pro-rata charge covers the period from the prior Contract Anniversary to the Income Date.

Before and after the Income Date, we deduct the contract maintenance charge proportionally from each Sub-account based upon the value each Sub-account bears to the Variable Account Value.

After the Income Date, once annuity payments begin, or after surrender benefits are applied under a settlement option, the contract maintenance charge is guaranteed not to increase. We will subtract this charge in equal parts from each annuity payment. For example, if annuity payments are monthly, then we will deduct one-twelfth of the annual charge from each payment.

Deductions for Mortality and Expense Risk Charge

Variable annuity payments fluctuate depending on the investment performance of the Sub-accounts. The payments will not be affected by the mortality experience (death rate) of persons receiving such payments or of the general population. We guarantee that certain total surrenders after your death or the death of the Annuitant will not mean that payments are reduced by a contingent deferred sales charge or will not result in payments that are lower than the amount of purchase payments less any prior partial surrenders. We also assume an expense risk since the contract maintenance charge after the Income Date remains the same and does not change to reflect variations in expenses.

We deduct a mortality and expense risk charge from each Sub-account as part of the calculation of Accumulation Unit Values for each Valuation period. The mortality and expense risk charge is equal, on an annual basis, to 1.25% of the average daily net asset value of each Sub-account. We deduct the charge both before and after the Income Date.

We may deduct less than the full charge from Sub-account values attributable to Contracts issued to our employees and other persons specified in "Distribution of the Contract".

Deductions for Daily Sales Charge

We deduct a daily sales charge from each Sub-account as part of the calculation of Accumulation Unit values for each Valuation Period. This charge is equal, on an annual basis, to 0.15% of the average daily net asset value of each Sub-account. This charge compensates us for certain sales distribution expenses relating to the Contract. We do not deduct the daily sales charge during the annuity period.

We will not deduct this charge from your Sub-account values once we have reached the maximum cumulative daily sales charge limit. We do not deduct this charge from the values of Contracts issued to our employees and other persons specified in "Distribution of the Contract". We may decide not to deduct the charge from Sub-account values attributable to a Contract issued in an internal exchange or transfer of an annuity contract from our general account.

Deductions for Contingent Deferred Sales Charge

We do not deduct a sales charge from the Contract when you purchase it. We may deduct such a charge if you surrender your Contract.

To determine whether we will deduct a contingent deferred sales charge if you partially or totally surrender your Contract, we maintain a separate set of records. These records identify the date and amount of each purchase payment you have made and the Contract Value over time.

You may make partial surrenders during the Accumulation Period without incurring a contingent deferred sales charge. You may surrender an amount up to the Contract's earnings. Earnings equal the Contract Value at the time of surrender, less purchase payments not previously surrendered.

After the first Contract Year, we guarantee that a minimum amount of Contract Value will be free of contingent deferred sales charges each year. This amount is equal to 10% of the Contract Value at the beginning of each Contract Year. This 10% amount will be reduced by the amount of each surrender in a year that represents the Contract's increase in value. The amount of any surrender in excess of this increase in value but not in excess of the remaining 10% amount will be free of contingent deferred sales charges. This portion will be deducted from the purchase payments from the oldest payment to the most recent until the amount is fully deducted. Any amount so deducted will not be subject to a charge.

The following additional amounts will be deducted from the purchase payments in this order: the amount of any surrender in the first Contract Year in excess of the Contract's increase in value at the time of surrender; and the amount of any surrender in any later Contract Year in excess of the Contract's increase in value at the time of surrender (or in excess of the 10% limit if it applies). The contingent deferred sales charge for each purchase payment from which a deduction is made will be equal to (a) x (b), where:

(a)	is the amount so deducted; and
(b)	is the applicable percentage for the number of years that have elapsed from the date of the purchase payment to the date of surrender. We measure years from the date of each payment. The applicable percentages for each year are:
Year		Percentage
1		7%
2		6%
3		5%
4		4%
5		3%
6		2%
7		1%
8 and thereafter		0%

We calculate the contingent deferred sales charges for each purchase payment. The lesser of this amount and the maximum cumulative sales charge will be deducted from Contract Value in the same manner as the surrender amount. The maximum cumulative sales charge is equal to (a) - (b), where:

(a)	is 8.5% of the total purchase payments made to the Contract, and
(b)	is the sum of (i) all prior contingent deferred sales charge deductions from the Contract Value and (ii) all prior daily sales charges attributable to the Contract Value allocated to the Sub-accounts. After each surrender, our records will be adjusted to reflect any deductions made from the applicable purchase payments.

The contingent deferred sales charge is used to cover expenses we incur selling the Contract, including compensation paid to selling dealers and the cost of sales literature. Selling dealers may receive up to 6.00% of purchase payments. (See "Distribution of the Contracts.") We pay any expenses not covered by the charge from our general account, which may include monies deducted from the Variable Account for the mortality and expense risk charge.

The contingent deferred sales charge is not applicable to Contracts issued to our employees and other persons specified in "Distribution of the Contract".

We may reduce or change any contingent deferred sales charge percentage to 0% under a Contract issued in an internal exchange or transfer of an annuity contract from our general account.

We may establish a systematic withdrawal program to allow you to request systematic partial surrenders in the first Contract Year up to 10% of the initial purchase payment. Under this program, we may waive the contingent deferred sales charge on the amount of any partial surrender that is in excess of the Contract's increase in value at the time the surrender occurs. Any such excess surrender amount will not be deducted from the initial purchase payment. This means that the waiver of the contingent deferred sales charge is not a permanent waiver and we can collect the charge in the event that you later make a non-systematic partial or total surrender.

Deductions for Transfers of Variable Account Value

Currently, we do not charge a transfer fee. However, the Contract allows us to charge up to $25 for each transfer in excess of 12 per year. Contracts delivered in Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Texas contain a stated maximum of $15 per transfer. We will notify you prior to the imposition of any fee.

Deductions for Premium Taxes

We deduct the amount of any premium taxes levied by any state or governmental entity when paid unless we elect to defer such deduction. We can not anticipate precisely the amount of premium tax payable on any transaction involving the Contract. Premium taxes depend, among other things, on the type of Contract (Qualified or Non-Qualified), on your state of residence, the state of residence of the Annuitant, our status within such states, and the insurance tax laws of such states. Currently, premium taxes range from 0% to 3.5% of either total purchase payments or Contract Value.

Deductions for Income Taxes

We deduct income taxes from any amount payable under the Contract that a governmental authority requires us to withhold. See "Income Tax Withholding" and "Tax-Sheltered Annuities".

Total Variable Account Expenses

The total Variable Account expenses you will incur are the contract maintenance charge, the mortality and expense risk charge, and the daily sales charge.

The value of the assets in the Variable Account will reflect the value of Eligible Fund shares and the deductions from and expenses paid out of the assets of the Eligible Funds. These deductions and expenses are described in the Eligible Fund prospectus.

THE CONTRACTS

Variable Account Value

The Variable Account Value for your Contract is based on the sum of your proportionate interest in value of each Sub-account where you have allocated values. We determine the value of each Sub-account at any time by multiplying the number of Accumulation Units attributable to that Sub-account by its Accumulation Unit value.

Each purchase payment you make results in the credit of additional Accumulation Units to your Contract and the appropriate Sub-account. Purchase payments are credited to your Contract using the Accumulation Unit Value that is calculated after we receive your purchase payment. The number of additional units for any Sub-account will equal the amount allocated to that Sub-account divided by the Accumulation Unit value for that Sub-account at the time of investment.

Valuation Periods

We determine the value of the Variable Account each valuation period using the net asset value of the Eligible Fund shares. A valuation period is the period beginning at 4:00 P.M. (ET) which is the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange and ending at the close of trading for the next business day. The New York Stock Exchange is currently closed on weekends, New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

Net Investment Factor

Your Variable Account Value will fluctuate with the investment results of the underlying Eligible Funds you have selected. In order to determine how these fluctuations affect value, we use an Accumulation Unit value. Each Sub-account has its own Accumulation Units and value per unit. We determine the unit value applicable during any valuation period at the end of that period.

When we first purchased Eligible Fund shares on behalf of the Variable Account, we valued each Accumulation Unit at $10.00. The Unit value for each Sub-account in any valuation period thereafter is determined by multiplying the value for the prior period by a net investment factor. This factor may be greater or less than 1.0; therefore, the Accumulation Unit may increase or decrease from valuation period to valuation period. We calculate a net investment factor for each Sub-account according to the following formula (a / b) - c, where:

(a)	is equal to:
	(i)	the net asset value per share of the Eligible Fund at the end of the valuation period; plus
	(ii)	the per share amount of any dividend or other distribution the Eligible Fund made if the "ex-dividend" date for such distribution occurs during that same valuation period.
(b)	is the net asset value per share of the Eligible Fund at the end of the prior valuation period.
(c)	is equal to:
	(i)	the valuation period equivalent of the annual rate for the mortality and expense risk charge; plus
	(ii)	the valuation period equivalent of the annual rate for the daily sales charge; plus
	(iii)	a charge factor, if any, for any tax provision established by us as a result of the operations of that Sub-account.

If we have deducted the maximum cumulative sales charge limit, we will not deduct the daily sales charge in (c) (ii) above. For Contracts issued to our employees and other persons specified in "Distribution of the Contract", the mortality and expense risk charge in (c) (i) above is .35% and the daily sales charge in (c)(ii) above is eliminated. We may eliminate the daily sales charge in (c)(ii) above for certain Contracts we issue in an internal exchange or transfer.

Modification of the Contract

Only our President or Secretary may agree to alter the Contract or waive any of its terms. A change may be made to the Contract if there have been changes in applicable law or interpretations of law. Any changes will be made in writing and with your consent, except as may be required by applicable law.

Right to Revoke

You may return the Contract within ten days after you receive it by delivering or mailing it to us. The postmark on a properly addressed and postage-prepaid envelope determines if a Contract is returned within the period. We will treat the returned Contract as if we never issued it and we will refund: (a) the initial purchase payment for Contracts delivered in Connecticut, Georgia, Idaho, North Carolina, South Carolina, Utah, Washington and West Virginia; (b) the Contract Value for Contracts delivered in Arizona, California (if you are age 60 or older; see below), Kansas, Minnesota, North Dakota and Pennsylvania; and (c) the lesser of the initial purchase payment or the Contract Value for Contracts delivered elsewhere, including in California if you are under age 60.

If we deliver your Contract to you in California and you are age 60 or older, you may return the Contract to us or the agent from whom you purchased it. If you return the Contract within 30 days after you receive it, we will refund the Contract Value.

DEATH PROVISIONS FOR NON-QUALIFIED CONTRACTS

Death of Primary Owner, Joint Owner or Certain Non-Owner Annuitant. If the Contract is In Force, you or any joint Owner dies or the Annuitant dies under a Contract when a non-natural person such as a trust owns the Contract, we will treat the Designated Beneficiary as the Contract Owner after such a death.

Under this paragraph you are the covered person. However, if there is a non-natural Owner such as a trust, the covered person is the Annuitant. If the covered person dies, we will increase the Contract Value if it is less than the guaranteed minimum death value amount ("GMDV"). Except for certain previously issued Contracts, the GMDV is the greater of:

(a)

the sum of all purchase payments made through the date of death, less all partial surrenders made through the date of death; and

(b)

the Anniversary Value. We will compute an "Anniversary Value" for each Contract Anniversary (if any) before the 81st birthday of the covered person and we will use the greatest of such "Anniversary Values". Initially, the "Anniversary Value" for each applicable Contract Anniversary is equal to the Contract Value on that Anniversary. It is then increased by any purchase payments made from that Anniversary until the date of death, and decreased by the following amount at the time of each partial surrender made from that Anniversary until the date of death: the partial surrender amount divided by the Contract Value right before the surrender, multiplied by the "Anniversary Value" right before the surrender.

The GMDV will be different for any Contract issued between July 1, 1993 and before the later of July 5, 1994 and the date we changed the death provisions in the state of issue of a Contract. Contracts on application form number FLEX-APP(REV)3, FLEX-APP-OH(REV)3 or FLEX-APP-PA(REV)3 are affected. You or your agent may call 800-437-4466 to see when the change was made in your state.

The GMDV for such a Contract is the greatest of (a) above, (b) above, and the Contract Value on the seventh Contract Anniversary, plus any purchase payments made from that Anniversary until the date of death, and less any partial surrenders made from that Anniversary until the date of death. The GMDV for any other Contract issued before May 1, 1996 is the greater of (a) above and the Contract Value.

When we receive due proof of the covered person's death, we will compare, as of the date of death, the Contract Value and the GMDV. If the Contract Value is less than the GMDV, we will increase the current Contract Value by the amount of the difference. Note that while the amount of the difference is determined as of the date of death, that amount is not added to the Contract Value until we receive due proof of death. We allocate the amount credited, if any, to the Variable Account and/or the Fixed Account based on the purchase payment allocation in effect when we receive due proof of death. The Designated Beneficiary may, by the later of the 90th day after the covered person's death and the 60th day after we receive proof of the death, surrender the Contract for the Contract Value without incurring any applicable contingent deferred sales charge. For a surrender after the applicable 90 or 60 day period and for a surrender at any time after the death of a non-covered person, we will pay the Surrender Value. If the Contract is not surrendered, it will continue for the time period specified below.

If the decedent's surviving spouse is the sole Designated Beneficiary, he or she will become the new sole primary Owner as of the decedent's date of the death. If the Annuitant is the decedent, the new Annuitant will be any living contingent annuitant, otherwise the new Annuitant will be the surviving spouse. The Contract can continue until another death occurs. Except for this paragraph, all of "Death Provisions" will apply to that subsequent death.

In all other cases, the Contract may continue up to five years from the date of death. During this period, the Designated Beneficiary may exercise all ownership rights, including the right to make transfers or partial surrenders or the right to totally surrender the Contract for its Surrender Value. If the Contract is still in effect at the end of the five-year period, we will automatically end it by paying the Contract Value to the Designated Beneficiary. If the Designated Beneficiary is not alive, we will pay any person(s) named by the Designated Beneficiary in writing; otherwise we will pay the Designated Beneficiary's estate.

Payment of Benefits. Instead of receiving a lump sum, you or any Designated Beneficiary may direct us in writing to pay any benefit of $5,000 or more under an annuity payment option that meets the following:

o the first payment to the Designated Beneficiary must be made no later than one year after the date of death;

o payments must be made over the life of the Designated Beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond that person's life expectancy; and

o any payment option that provides for payments to continue after the death of the Designated Beneficiary will not allow the successor payee to extend the period of time over which the remaining payments are to be made.

Death of Certain Non-Contract Owner Annuitant. These provisions apply if, while the Contract is In Force, the Annuitant dies, you are not the Annuitant, and you are a natural person. The Contract will continue after the Annuitant's death. The new Annuitant will be any living contingent annuitant. If there is no living contingent annuitant, then you will be the new Annuitant.

DEATH PROVISIONS FOR QUALIFIED CONTRACTS

Death of Annuitant. If the Annuitant dies while the Contract is In Force, the Designated Beneficiary will control the Contract. We will increase the Contract Value, as provided below, if it is less than the guaranteed minimum death value amount ("GMDV"). The GMDV is the amount defined on page 21. When we receive due proof of the Annuitant's death, we will compare, as of the date of death, the Contract Value to the GMDV. If the Contract Value is less than the GMDV, we will increase the current Contract Value by the amount of the difference. Note that while the amount of the difference is determined as of the date of death, that amount is not added to the Contract Value until we receive due proof of death.

We will allocate the amount credited, if any, to the Variable Account and/or the Fixed Account based on the purchase payment allocation selection that is in effect when we receive due proof of death. The Designated Beneficiary may, by the later of the 90th day after the Annuitant's death and the 60th day after we are notified of the death, surrender the Contract for the Contract Value without incurring any applicable contingent deferred sales charge. If the surrender is made after the applicable 90 or 60 day period, we will pay the Surrender Value.

If the Designated Beneficiary does not surrender the Contract, it may continue for the time period permitted by the Internal Revenue Code provisions applicable to the particular Qualified Plan. During this period, the Designated Beneficiary may exercise all ownership rights, including the right to make transfers or partial surrenders or the right to totally surrender the Contract for its Surrender Value. If the Contract is still in effect at the end of the period, we will automatically end it by paying the Contract Value to the Designated Beneficiary. If the Designated Beneficiary is not alive then, we will pay any person(s) named by the Designated Beneficiary in writing; otherwise, we will pay the Designated Beneficiary's estate.

Payment of Benefits. You or any Designated Beneficiary may direct us in writing to pay any benefit of $5,000 or more under an annuity payment option that meets the following:

o the first payment to the Designated Beneficiary must be made no later than one year after the date of death;

o payments must be made over the life of the Designated Beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond that person's life expectancy; and

o any payment option that provides for payments to continue after the death of the Designated Beneficiary will not allow the successor payee to extend the period of time over which the remaining payments are to be made.

CONTRACT OWNERSHIP

The Contract Owner shall be the person designated in the application and may exercise all the rights of the Contract. Joint Contract Owners are permitted. Contingent Contract Owners are not permitted.

You may direct us in writing to change the Contract Owner, primary beneficiary, contingent beneficiary or contingent annuitant. If the selection of a beneficiary or annuitant was designated "irrevocable", that selection may be changed only with that person's written consent.

Because a change of Contract Owner by means of a gift may be a taxable event, you should consult a qualified tax professional as to the tax consequences resulting from such a transfer.

Any Qualified Contract may have limitations on transfer of ownership. You should consult a qualified tax professional as to the tax consequences resulting from such a transfer.

ASSIGNMENT

You may assign the Contract at any time. You must file a copy of any assignment with us. Your rights and those of any revocably-named person will be subject to the assignment. A Qualified Contract may have limitations on your ability to assign the Contract.

Because an assignment may be a taxable event, you should consult the plan administrator and a qualified tax professional as to the tax consequences resulting from any such assignment.

SURRENDERS

You may partially surrender the Contract by notifying us in writing. The minimum amount to be surrendered must be at least $300. We may permit a lesser amount with a systematic withdrawal program. If the Contract Value after a partial surrender would be below $2,500, we will treat the request as a surrender of only the amount over $2,500. The amount surrendered will include any applicable contingent deferred sales charge and may be greater than the amount of the surrender check requested. Unless you specify otherwise, we will deduct the total amount surrendered from all Sub-accounts of the Variable Account in the proportion that the value in each Sub-account bears to the total Variable Account Value. If there is no or insufficient value in the Variable Account, then the amount surrendered, or the insufficient portion, will be deducted from the Fixed Account.

You may totally surrender the Contract by notifying us in writing. Surrendering the Contract will end it. Upon surrender, you will receive the Surrender Value.

We will pay the amount of any surrender within seven days of receipt of your request. Alternatively, you may apply any surrender benefit of at least $5,000 to an annuity payment option for yourself. If the Contract Owner is not a natural person, we must consent to the selection of an annuity payment option.

You may not make partial surrenders or total surrender under Settlement Options based on life contingencies after annuity payments have begun. You may make partial surrenders from or total surrender under Settlement Option 1, described in "Settlement Options" below, which is not based on life contingencies if you have selected a variable payout. Any partial surrender will reduce your future annuity payments.

Because of the potential tax consequences of a full or partial surrender, you should consult a qualified tax professional regarding a surrender.

Participants under Qualified Plans as well as Contract Owners, Annuitants, and Designated Beneficiaries are cautioned that you may not be able to partially or totally surrender the Contract under a Qualified Plan. You should seek competent advice concerning the terms and conditions of the particular Qualified Plan and use of the Contract with that Plan.

ANNUITY PROVISIONS

Annuity Benefits

If the Annuitant is alive on the Income Date and the Contract is In Force, we will begin payments to the Annuitant under the payment option or options you have chosen. We determine the amount of the payments on the Income Date by applying to the Option you choose:

o your Contract Value;

o subtracting any premium taxes not previously deducted; and

o subtracting any applicable contract maintenance charge on the Income Date in accordance with the Option selected.

Income Date and Settlement Option

You may select an Income Date and Settlement Option at the time of application. If you do not select a Settlement Option, we automatically choose Option 2. If you do not select an Income Date for the Annuitant, the Income Date will automatically be the first day of the calendar month following the later of:

o the Annuitant's 75th birthday, or

o the 10th Contract Anniversary.

You may continue to make purchase payments until you reach your Income Date.

Change in Income Date and Settlement Option

You may choose or change an Income Date or Settlement Option by writing to us at least 30 days before the Income Date. However, any Income Date must be:

o for variable annuity payment options, not earlier than the second calendar month after the Issue Date;

o for fixed annuity payment options, not earlier than the first calendar month after the end of the first Contract Year;

o not later than the calendar month after the Annuitant's 90th birthday; and

o the first day of a calendar month.

Settlement Options

The Settlement Options are:

Option 1:	Income for a Fixed Number of Years;
Option 2:	Life Income with 10 Years of Payments Guaranteed; and
Option 3:	Joint and Last Survivor Income.

You may arrange other options if we agree. Each option is available in two forms - as a variable annuity for use with the Variable Account and as a fixed annuity for use with the Fixed Account. Variable annuity payments will fluctuate. Fixed annuity payments will not fluctuate.

Unless you choose otherwise, we will apply Variable Account Value to a variable annuity option and Fixed Account Value to a fixed annuity option. The same amount applied to a variable option and a fixed option will produce a different initial payment and different subsequent payments.

The payee is the person who will receive the sum payable under a payment option. Any payment option that provides for payments to continue after the death of the payee will not allow the successor payee to extend the period of time over which the remaining payments are to be made.

If the amount available under any variable or fixed option is less than $5,000, we reserve the right to pay such amount in one sum to the payee in lieu of the payment otherwise provided for.

We will make annuity payments monthly unless you have requested in writing quarterly, semi-annual or annual payments. However, if any payment would be less than $100, we may reduce the frequency of payments to a period that will result in each payment being at least $100.

Option 1: Income For a Fixed Number of Years. We will pay periodic payments for a chosen number of years, not less than 5 nor over 50. You may choose a period of years over 30 only if it does not exceed the difference between age 100 and the Annuitant's age on the date of the first payment. At any time while we are making variable annuity payments, the payee may elect to receive the following amount:

o the present value of the remaining payments, commuted at the interest rate used to create the annuity factor for this option. This interest rate is 6% per year (3% per year for Florida Contracts and 5% per year for Oregon Contracts), unless you chose 3% per year in writing; less

o any contingent deferred sales charge due by treating the value defined above as a total surrender.

Instead of receiving a lump sum, the payee may elect another payment option and we will not deduct the amount applied to the option by the contingent deferred sales charge above.

If, at the death of the payee, Option 1 payments have been made for less than the chosen number of years:

o we will continue payments during the remainder of the period to the successor payee; or

o the successor payee may elect to receive in a lump sum the present value of the remaining payments, commuted at the interest rate used to create the annuity factor for this option. For the variable annuity, this interest rate is 6% per year (3% per year for Florida Contracts and 5% per year for Oregon Contracts), unless the payee chose 3% per year in writing.

The mortality and expense risk charge is deducted during the Option 1 payment period but we have no mortality risk during this period.

You may choose a "level monthly" payment option for variable payments under Option 1. Under this option, we convert your annual payment into 12 equal monthly payments. Thus the monthly payment amount changes annually instead of monthly. We will determine each annual payment as described in "Variable Annuity Payment Values", place each annual payment in our general account, and distribute it in 12 equal monthly payments. The sum of the 12 monthly payments will exceed the annual payment amount because of an interest rate factor we use which will vary from year to year. If the payments are commuted, (1) we will use the commutation method described above for calculating the present value of remaining payments and (2) use the interest rate that determined the current 12 payments to commute any unpaid monthly payments.

See "Annuity Payments" for the manner in which Option 1 may be taxed.

Option 2: Life Income with 10 Years of Payments Guaranteed. We will pay periodic payments during the lifetime of the payee. If, at the death of the payee, payments have been made for fewer than 10 years:

o we will continue payments during the remainder of the period to the successor payee; or

o such successor payee may elect to receive in a lump sum the present value of the remaining payments, commuted at the interest rate used to create the annuity factor for this option. For the variable annuity, this interest rate is 6% per year (3% per year for Florida Contracts and 5% per year for Oregon Contracts), unless the payee chose 3% per year in writing.

The amount of the annuity payments will depend on the age of the payee on the Income Date and it may also depend on the payee's sex.

Option 3: Joint and Last Survivor Income. We will pay periodic payments for as long as either the payee or a designated second natural person is alive. The amount of the annuity payments will depend on the age of both persons on the Income Date and it may also depend on each person's sex. It is possible under this option to receive only one annuity payment if both payees die after the receipt of the first payment or to receive only two annuity payments if both payees die after receipt of the second payment and so on.

Variable Annuity Payment Values

We determine the amount of the first variable annuity payment by multiplying the Contract Value you are applying to variable annuity payments by the annuity purchase rate for the Settlement Option you have selected. The annuity purchase rates are based on an assumed annual investment return ("AIR") of 6% per year (3% per year for Florida Contracts and 5% for Oregon Contracts), unless you choose 3% in writing. (See below and "Variable Annuity Payment Values" in the Statement of Additional Information for more information on AIRs and how your initial variable payment is calculated.)

Subsequent variable annuity payments will fluctuate in amount and reflect whether the actual investment return of the selected Sub-account(s) (after deducting the mortality and expense risk charge) is better or worse than the assumed investment return. The total dollar amount of each variable annuity payment will be equal to:

o the sum of all Sub-account payments; less

o the pro-rata amount of the annual contract maintenance charge.

Currently there is no limit on the number of times or the frequency with which a payee may instruct us to change the Sub-account(s) used to determine the amount of the variable annuity payments. Any change requested must be at least six months after a prior selection.

If you apply the same amount to a particular payment option, a 5% or 6% AIR will result in a larger initial payment than will a 3% AIR. You should note, however, that, assuming the same investment performance, your subsequent payments using a 5% or 6% AIR will increase by a smaller percentage (when they increase) and decrease by a larger percentage (when they decrease) than will subsequent payments using a 3% AIR. Indeed, it is possible that after a sufficient period of time, payments determined using a 5% or 6% AIR may be lower than payments commencing at the same time using the same Sub-accounts but a 3% AIR. Note that if you select Option 1 (Income for a Fixed Number of Years) and payments continue for the entire period, the 5% or 6% AIR payment amount will start out being larger than the 3% AIR amount but eventually the 5% or 6% payment amount will become less than the 3% AIR payment amount. Whether you would be better off choosing a higher or lower AIR depends on the annuity payment option you choose, the investment performance of the Sub-accounts you choose, and the period for which payments are received.

Proof of Age, Sex, and Survival of Annuitant

We may require proof of age, sex or survival of any payee upon whose age, sex or survival payments depend. If the age or sex has been misstated, we will compute the amount payable based on the correct age and sex. If income payments have begun, we will pay in full any underpayments with the next annuity payment. Any overpayments, unless repaid in one sum, will be deducted from future annuity payments until we are repaid in full.

SUSPENSION OF PAYMENTS

We reserve the right to postpone surrender payments from the Fixed Account for up to six months. We may suspend or postpone any type of payment from the Variable Account for any period when:

o the New York Stock Exchange is closed other than customary weekend or holiday closings;

o trading on the Exchange is restricted;

o an emergency exists as a result of which it is not reasonably practicable to dispose of securities held in the Variable Account or determine their value; or

o the Securities and Exchange Commission permits delay for the protection of security holders.

The applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission shall govern as to whether the two latter conditions described above exist.

TAX STATUS

Introduction

This section provides general information on the federal income tax consequences of ownership of a Contract based upon our understanding of current federal tax laws and is not intended as tax advice. Actual federal tax consequences will vary depending on, among other things, whether the Contract is issued under a Qualified Plan and the type of retirement plan under which your Contract is issued. Also, legislation altering the current tax treatment of annuity contracts could be enacted in the future and could apply retroactively to Contracts that were purchased before the date of enactment. We make no attempt to consider any applicable federal estate, federal gift, state, or other tax laws. We also make no guarantee regarding the federal, state, or local tax status of any Contract or any transaction involving any Contract. You should consult a qualified tax professional for advice before purchasing a Contract or executing any other transaction (such as a rollover, distribution, withdrawal or payment) involving a Contract.

You may purchase a Contract that is not issued under a Qualified Plan ("Non-Qualified Contract") or a Contract that is used under a Plan that is Qualified under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") (a "Qualified Contract"). The ultimate effect of federal income taxes on the Contract Value, on annuity payments, and on the economic benefit to the Contract Owner, Annuitant or Designated Beneficiary depends on the type of retirement plan for which you purchase the Contract and upon the tax and employment status of the individual concerned.

Taxation of Annuities in General

For federal income tax purposes, purchase payments made under Non-Qualified Contracts are not deductible. Under certain circumstances, purchase payments made under Qualified Contracts may be excludible or deductible from taxable income. Any such amounts will also be excluded from the cost basis for purposes of determining the taxable portion of any distributions from a Qualified Contract.

You should note that a qualified retirement plan generally provides tax deferral regardless of whether the plan invests in an annuity contract. For that reason, no decision to purchase a Qualified Contract should be based on the assumption that the purchase of a Qualified Contract is necessary to obtain tax deferral under a qualified plan.

Section 72 of the Code governs taxation of annuities in general. There are no income taxes on increases in the value of a Contract until a distribution occurs, in the form of a full surrender, a partial surrender, an assignment or gift of the Contract, or annuity payments. A trust or other entity owning a Non-Qualified Contract other than as an agent for an individual is taxed differently; increases in the value of a Contract are taxed yearly whether or not a distribution occurs.

Surrenders, Partial Surrenders, Death Benefit Payments, Assignments and Gifts. If you fully surrender your Contract, the portion of the surrender payment that exceeds your cost basis in the Contract is subject to tax as ordinary income. For Non-Qualified Contracts, the cost basis is generally the amount of the purchase payments made for the Contract. For Qualified Contracts, the cost basis is generally zero and the entire surrender payment is generally taxed as ordinary income. A Designated Beneficiary receiving a lump sum death benefit payment after your death or the death of the Annuitant is similarly taxed on the portion of the amount that exceeds your cost basis in the Contract. If the Designated Beneficiary elects to receive annuity payments that begin within one year of the decedent's death, different tax rules apply. See "Annuity Payments" below. For Non-Qualified Contracts, the tax treatment applicable to Designated Beneficiaries may be contrasted with the tax treatment applicable to persons inheriting and then selling mutual fund shares who receive a "stepped-up" basis equal to the date-of-death value of their shares and therefore will pay no tax on the sale of their share unless the sale price exceeds the date-of-death value.

Partial surrenders received under Non-Qualified Contracts prior to annuitization are first included in gross income to the extent Contract Value exceeds purchase payments. Then, to the extent the Contract Value does not exceed purchase payments, such surrenders are treated as a non-taxable return of principal to you. For partial surrenders under a Qualified Contract, a portion of each payment is treated as a non-taxable return of principal and the remaining amount is treated as taxable income. Since the cost basis of Qualified Contracts is generally zero, partial surrender amounts will generally be fully taxed as ordinary income.

If you assign or pledge a Non-Qualified Contract, you will be subject to taxation under the rules applicable to surrenders. If you give away your Contract to anyone other than your spouse, you are treated for income tax purposes as if you had fully surrendered the Contract. If the transfer is to a charity, you may be allowed a deduction for some or all of the value of the Contract.

A special computational rule applies if we issue to you, during any calendar year, two or more Contracts or one or more Contracts and one or more of our other annuity contracts. Under this rule, all of the contracts will be treated as one contract. We believe this means that the amount of any distribution under any one Contract will be includable in gross income to the extent that at the time of distribution the sum of the values for all the Contracts exceeds the cost bases for all the contracts.

Annuity Payments. We determine the non-taxable portion of each variable annuity payment by dividing the cost basis of your values allocated to Variable Account Value by the total number of expected payments. We determine the non-taxable portion of each fixed annuity payment with an "exclusion ratio" formula which establishes the ratio that the cost basis of your values allocated to Fixed Account Value bears to the total expected value of annuity payments for the term of the annuity. The remaining portion of each payment is taxable. Such taxable portion is taxed at ordinary income rates. For Qualified Contracts, the cost basis is generally zero.

With annuity payments based on life contingencies, the payments will become fully taxable once the payee lives longer than the life expectancy used to calculate the non-taxable portion of the prior payments, if any. Because variable annuity payments can increase over time and because certain payment options provide for a lump sum right of commutation, it is possible that the IRS could determine that variable annuity payments should not be taxed as described above but instead should be taxed as if they were received under an agreement to pay interest. This determination would result in a higher amount (up to 100%) of certain payments being taxable.

With respect to the "level monthly" payment option available under Settlement Option 1, pursuant to which each annual payment is placed in our general account and paid out with interest in twelve equal monthly payments, it is possible the IRS could determine that receipt of the first monthly payout of each annual payment is constructive receipt of the entire annual payment. Thus, the total taxable amount for each annual payment would be accelerated to the time of the first monthly payout and reported in the tax year in which the first monthly payout is received. This acceleration would affect you if your first monthly payment for each year is received in a month other than January since those of your 12 monthly payments that are actually received in the next tax year would be treated as being constructively received (and taxable) in the current tax year.

Following any change by the payee to variable annuity payments under Settlement Option 1, other than a change of the payment day of the month or a change from a regular periodic income payment option to a "level monthly" payment option (or vice versa) where the remaining payment length stays the same, the non-taxable portion of each payment will be recalculated in accordance with IRS standards.

The Code does not specifically address partial surrenders after annuity payments have begun. Based on a private letter ruling issued by the IRS in 2000, it is our intention to report as taxable income the portion of any partial surrender from variable annuity Settlement Option 1 that does not exceed immediately before the partial surrender the present value of remaining payments less the Contract's remaining cost basis. Under this approach, a partial surrender of $10,000 when the present value is $150,000 and the remaining cost basis is $145,000 would result in taxable income of $5,000 being reported. Since private letter rulings do not bind the IRS, the IRS could take the position that the Code requires the full amount of the partial surrender ($10,000 in the example) to be treated as taxable income. Under either approach to determining the taxable income associated with a partial surrender, some taxpayers, such as those under age 59 1/2, could be subject to additional tax penalties. Because of the potential for adverse tax results as described above, you should carefully consider, prior to making a partial surrender, your need for funds from the Contract and the tax implications. You should also consult a qualified tax professional prior to making a partial surrender.

Penalty Tax. Payments received by you, Annuitants, and Designated Beneficiaries under Contracts may be subject to both ordinary income taxes and a penalty tax equal to 10% of the amount received that is includable in income. The penalty tax is not imposed on amounts received for Non-Qualified Contracts:

o after the taxpayer attains age 59-1/2;

o in a series of substantially equal periodic payments made for life or life expectancy;

o after the death of the Contract Owner (or, where the Contract Owner is not a natural person, after the death of the primary Annuitant, as defined in the Code);

o if the taxpayer becomes totally and permanently disabled; or

o under a Non-Qualified immediate annuity contract that provides for a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually), provided that only one purchase payment is made to the Contract, that the Contract is not issued as a result of a Section 1035 exchange, and that the first annuity payment begins in the first Contract Year.

Similar exceptions to the 10% penalty tax apply to distributions from Qualified Contracts.

Income Tax Withholding. We are required to withhold federal income taxes on taxable amounts paid under Contracts unless the recipient elects not to have withholding apply. We will notify recipients of their right to elect not to have withholding apply. See "Tax-Sheltered Annuities" (TSAs) for an alternative type of withholding that may apply to distributions from TSAs that are eligible for rollover to another TSA, an individual retirement annuity or account (IRA), a qualified trust or an eligible deferred compensation plan of a state or local government.

Section 1035 Exchanges. You may purchase a Non-Qualified Contract with proceeds from the surrender of an existing annuity contract. Such a transaction may qualify as a tax-free exchange pursuant to Section 1035 of the Code. It is our understanding that in such an event:

o	the new Contract will be subject to the distribution-at-death rules described in "Death Provisions for Non-Qualified Contracts"
o	purchase payments made between August 14, 1982 and January 18, 1985 and the income allocable to them will, following an exchange, no longer be covered by a "grandfathered" exception to the penalty tax for a distribution of income that is allocable to an investment made over ten years prior to the distribution; and
o	purchase payments made before August 14, 1982 and the income allocable to them will, following an exchange, continue to receive the following "grandfathered" tax treatment under prior law:
	(i)	the penalty tax does not apply to any distribution;
	(ii)	partial surrenders are treated first as a non-taxable return of principal and then a taxable return of income; and
	(iii)	assignments are not treated as surrenders subject to taxation.

Diversification Standards. The U.S. Secretary of the Treasury has issued regulations that set standards for diversification of the investments underlying variable annuity contracts (other than pension plan contracts). The Eligible Funds intend to meet the diversification requirements for the Contract, as those requirements may change from time to time. If the diversification requirements are not satisfied, the Contract will not be treated as an annuity contract. As a consequence, income earned on a Contract would be taxable to you as ordinary income in the year in which diversification requirements were not satisfied, including previously non-taxable income earned in prior years.

The preamble to the 1986 investment diversification regulations stated that the Internal Revenue Service may promulgate guidelines under which an owner's excessive control over investments underlying a variable annuity contract will result in the owner being treated as the owner of the investments for federal tax purposes. The guidelines could impose requirements that are not reflected in the Contract. We, however, have reserved certain rights to alter the Contract and investment alternatives so as to comply with such guidelines. Since no guidelines have been issued, there can be no assurance as to the content of such guidelines or even whether application of the guidelines will be prospective. For these reasons, you are urged to consult with your tax professional.

Qualified Plans

The Contract is designed for use with several types of Qualified Plans. Under the Code, Qualified Plans generally enjoy tax-deferred accumulation of amounts invested in the plan. Therefore, in considering whether or not to purchase a Contract in a Qualified Plan, you should only consider the Contract's other features, including the availability of lifetime annuity payments and death benefit protection.

The tax rules applicable to participants in such Qualified Plans vary according to the type of plan and the terms and conditions of the plan itself. Therefore, we do not attempt to provide more than general information about the use of the Contract with the various types of Qualified Plans. Participants under such Qualified Plans as well as Contract Owners, Annuitants, and Designated Beneficiaries are cautioned that the rights of any person to any benefits under such Qualified Plans may be subject to the terms and conditions of the plans themselves regardless of the terms and conditions of the Contract issued in connection therewith. Following are brief descriptions of the various types of Qualified Plans and of the use of the Contract in connection with them. Purchasers of the Contract should seek competent advice concerning the terms and conditions of the particular Qualified Plan and use of the Contract with that Plan.

Tax-Sheltered Annuities

Section 403(b) of the Code permits public school employees and employees of certain types of charitable, educational and scientific organizations specified in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code to purchase annuity contracts and, subject to certain contribution limitations, exclude the amount of purchase payments from gross income for tax purposes. However, such purchase payments may be subject to Social Security (FICA) taxes. This type of annuity contract is commonly referred to as a "Tax-Sheltered Annuity" (TSA).

Section 403(b)(11) of the Code contains distribution restrictions. Specifically, distributions attributable to contributions made pursuant to a salary reduction agreement may be paid, through surrender of the Contract or otherwise, only:

o when the employee attains age 59-1/2, has a severance from employment, dies or becomes totally and permanently disabled (within the meaning of Section 72(m)(7) of the Code) or

o in the case of hardship. A hardship distribution must be of contributions only and not of any income attributable to such contributions.

Even though a distribution may be permitted under these rules, it may be subject, in addition to income tax, to the 10% penalty tax as a premature distribution.

Section 403(b)(11) does not apply to distributions attributable to assets held as of December 31, 1988. Thus, the law's restrictions would apply only to distributions attributable to contributions made after 1988, to earnings on those contributions, and to earnings on amounts held as of December 31, 1988. The Internal Revenue Service has indicated that the distribution restrictions of Section 403(b)(11) are not applicable when TSA funds are being transferred tax-free directly to another TSA issuer, provided the transferred funds continue to be subject to the Section 403(b)(11) distribution restrictions.

If you have requested a distribution from a Contract, we will notify you if all or part of such distribution is eligible for rollover to another Eligible Retirement Plan. Any amount eligible for rollover treatment will be subject to mandatory federal income tax withholding at a 20% rate unless you direct us in writing to transfer the amount as a direct rollover to another Eligible Retirement Plan. The term "Eligible Retirement Plan" means an individual retirement account under Section 408(a), an individual retirement annuity under Section 408(b), a pension or profit sharing plan under Section 401(a), an annuity plan under Section 403(a), a tax-sheltered annuity under Section 403(b), or an eligible deferred compensation plan of a state or local government under Section 457(b).

Under the terms of a particular Section 403(b) plan, the participant may be entitled to transfer all or a portion of the Contract Value to one or more alternative funding options. Participants should consult the documents governing their plan and the person who administers the plan for information as to such investment alternatives.

Individual Retirement Annuities

Section 408(b) and 408(A) of the Code permit eligible individuals to contribute to an individual retirement program known as an "Individual Retirement Annuity" and "Roth IRA" respectively. These individual retirement annuities and Roth IRAs are subject to limitations on the amount which may be contributed, the persons who may be eligible, and on the time when distributions may commence. In addition, distributions from certain types of Qualified Plans may be placed on a tax-deferred basis into a Section 408(b) Individual Retirement Annuity.

Corporate Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans

Sections 401(a) and 403(a) of the Code permit corporate employers to establish various types of retirement plans for employees. Such retirement plans may permit the purchase of the Contract to provide benefits under the plans.

Deferred Compensation Plans With Respect to Service for State and Local Governments

Section 457 of the Code, while not actually providing for a Qualified Plan as that term is normally used, provides for certain deferred compensation plans that enjoy special income tax treatment with respect to service for tax-exempt organizations, state governments, local governments, and agencies and instrumentalities of such governments. The Contract can be used with such plans. Under such plans, a participant may specify the form of investment in which his or her participation will be made. However, with respect to plans established by tax-exempt organizations, all such investments are owned by and subject to the claims of general creditors of the sponsoring employer.

Texas Optional Retirement Program

If we are an approved carrier under the Texas Optional Retirement Program ("ORP"), any Contract issued to an ORP participant will contain an ORP endorsement that will amend the Contract in two ways. First, if for any reason a second year of ORP participation is not begun, the total amount of the State of Texas' first-year contribution will be returned to the appropriate institution of higher education upon its request. Second, no benefits will be payable, through surrender of the Contract or otherwise, unless the participant dies, retires, or terminates employment in all Texas institutions of higher education. The value of the Contract may, however, be transferred to other contracts or carriers during the period of ORP participation.

VARIABLE ACCOUNT VOTING RIGHTS

In accordance with our view of present applicable law, we will vote the shares of the Eligible Funds held in the Variable Account at regular and special meetings of the shareholders of the Eligible Funds in accordance with instructions received from persons having the voting interest in the Variable Account. We will vote shares for which we have not received instructions in the same proportion as we vote shares for which we have received instructions.

However, if the Investment Company Act of 1940 or any regulation thereunder should be amended or if the present interpretation should change, and as a result we determine that we are permitted to vote the shares of the Eligible Funds in our own right, we may elect to do so.

You have the voting interest under a Contract prior to the Income Date. The number of shares held in each Sub-account that are attributable to you is determined by dividing your Variable Account Value in each Sub-account by the net asset value of the applicable share of the Eligible Fund. The payee has the voting interest after the Income Date under an annuity payment option. The number of shares held in the Variable Account which are attributable to each payee is determined by dividing the reserve for the annuity payments by the net asset value of one share. During the annuity payment period, the votes attributable to a payee decrease as the reserves underlying the payments decrease.

We will determine the number of shares in which a person has a voting interest as of the date established by the respective Eligible Fund for determining shareholders eligible to vote at the meeting of the Eligible Fund. We will solicit voting instructions in writing prior to such meeting in accordance with the procedures established by the Eligible Fund.

Each person having the voting interest in the Variable Account will receive periodic reports relating to the Eligible Fund(s) in which he or she has an interest, proxy material and a form with which to give such voting instructions.

DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACT

<R>

Certificates are sold by licensed insurance agents ("the Selling Agents") in those states where the Certificates may be lawfully sold. Such Selling Agents will be registered representatives of affiliated and unaffiliated broker-dealer firms ("the Selling Broker-Dealers") registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 who are members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and who have entered into selling agreements with Sun Life (U.S.) and the principal underwriter, Clarendon Insurance Agency, Inc. ("Clarendon"), One Sun Life Executive Park, Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts 02481. Clarendon, our wholly-owned subsidiary, is registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a broker-dealer and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

Sun Life (U.S.) (or its affiliates) pays the Selling Broker-Dealers compensation for the promotion and sale of the Certificate. The Selling Agents who solicit sales of the Certificate typically receive a portion of the compensation paid by us 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 Certificate Owner or the separate account. We intend to recoup this compensation through fees and charges imposed under the Certificate, and from profits on payments we receive for providing administrative, marketing, and other support and services to the Funds.

The amount and timing of commissions we may pay to Selling Broker-Dealers may vary depending on the selling agreement but it not expected to be more than 6.00% of purchase payments, and 1.00% annually, based on the Certificate Value of those payments. We may pay or allow other promotional incentives or payments in the form of cash or other compensation to the extent permitted by NASD rules and other applicable laws and regulations.

We also pay compensation to wholesaling broker-dealers, including payments to our affiliates, in return for wholesaling services such as providing marketing and sales support and product training to the Selling Agents of the Selling Broker-Dealers. These payments may be based on a percentage of purchase payments and/or a percentage of Certificate Value.

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 a Certificate.

</R>

Different Contracts are sold to persons who are officers, directors, or employees of ours, trustees or officers of SteinRoe Trust or Liberty Trust, employees of the investment adviser or sub-investment adviser of either Trust, or employees of a company that is under contract with either Trust to provide management or administrative services or to any Qualified Plan established for such persons. Such Contracts are different from the Contracts sold to others in that they are not subject to a contract maintenance charge, asset-based sales charge or the contingent deferred sales charge and they have a mortality and expense risk charge of 0.35% per year.

<R>

Commissions may be waived or reduced in connection with certain transactions described in this prospectus. During 2002 and 2003, approximately $257,312 and $233,172, respectively, in commissions was paid to but not retained by Clarendon in connection with the distribution of the Certificates.

</R>

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There are no legal proceedings to which the Variable Account or the principal underwriter are a party. We are engaged in various kinds of routine litigation which, in our judgment, is not of material importance in relation to our total capital and surplus.

INQUIRIES BY CONTRACT OWNERS

You may write us with questions about your Contract to Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.), P.O Box 9133, Wellesley Hills, MA 02481, or call (800) 367-3653.

APPENDIX A

THE FIXED ACCOUNT (ALSO KNOWN AS THE GUARANTEED RATE ACCOUNT)

Introduction

This Appendix describes the Fixed Account option available under the Contract. The Fixed Account is not available under either the Contract (form number FLEX(4)V) that is issued to New Jersey residents or the Contract (form number FLEX(4)/WA) that is issued to Washington residents.

Any purchase payments you allocate to the Fixed Account option become part of our general account. Because of applicable exemptive and exclusionary provisions in the securities laws, our general account, including the Fixed Account, are not subject to regulation under the Securities Act of 1933 or Investment Company Act of 1940. The Securities and Exchange Commission has not reviewed the disclosure in the prospectus relating to the general account and the Fixed Account option.

Investments in the Fixed Account and Capital Protection Plus

We will allocate purchase payments to the Fixed Account according to your selection in the application. Your selection must specify the percentage of the purchase payment you want to allocate to each Guarantee Period of the Fixed Account. The percentage, if not zero, must be at least 10%. You may change the allocation percentages without any charges. You must make allocation changes in writing unless you have authorized us in writing to accept telephone allocation instructions. By authorizing us to accept telephone changes, you agree to the conditions and procedures we establish from time to time. The current conditions and procedures are in Appendix C. We will notify you in advance of any changes.

Each Guarantee Period currently offered is available for initial and subsequent purchase payments and for transfers of Contract Value.

We currently offer Guarantee Periods of up to 7 years. We also currently offer a Guarantee Period of 1 year, which is only for use with the Dollar Cost Averaging Program. We may change at any time the number and/or length of Guarantee Periods we offer. You or your salesperson should call 1-800-426-3750 for information on the Guarantee Periods that are currently offered. If we no longer offer a particular Guarantee Period, the existing Fixed Account Value in that Guarantee Period will remain until the end of that period. At that time you must select a different Guarantee Period.

We offer a capital protection plus program. Under this program, we allocate part of the purchase payment to the Guarantee Period you select. Based on the length of the period and the period's interest rate, we determine how much of your purchase payment must be allocated to the Guarantee Period so that, at the end of the Guarantee Period, the allocated amount plus interest will be equal to your total purchase payment. We will allocate the rest of your purchase payment to the Sub-account(s) of the Variable Account based on your allocation instructions.

For example, assume you select the 7-year Guarantee Period and we receive your purchase payment of $10,000 when the interest rate for the Guarantee Period is 6.75% per year. We will allocate $6,331 to that Guarantee Period, because $6,331 will increase, at the interest rate of 6.75%, to $10,000 after 7 years. The remaining $3,669 of the payment will be allocated to the Sub-account(s) you select.

If you surrender or transfer any part of the Fixed Account Value before the end of the Guarantee Period, the value at the end of that Period will not equal the original purchase payment amount.

Fixed Account Value

The Fixed Account Value at any time is equal to:

o all purchase payments allocated to the Fixed Account plus the interest credited on those payments; plus

o any Variable Account Value transferred to the Fixed Account plus the interest credited on the transferred value; less

o any prior partial surrenders from the Fixed Account, including any charges; less

o any Fixed Account Value transferred to the Variable Account.

Interest Credits

We credit interest daily. The interest we credit is based on an annual compound interest rate. It is credited to purchase payments allocated to the Fixed Account at rates declared by us for Guarantee Periods of one or more years from the month and day of allocation. Each Guarantee Period will have a basic interest rate and a maturity interest rate. During the Guarantee Period, we will credit interest at the Basic Rate. At the end of the Guarantee Period, we will credit an additional interest amount so that the original allocation amount remaining at that time will have earned interest at the maturity rate for the entire Guarantee Period. For certain post-death surrenders occurring before the end of the Guarantee Period (see the last paragraph of this section), we will credit an additional interest amount so that the original allocation amount remaining at the time of surrender will have earned interest at the maturity rate through the time of surrender.

Under this method of crediting interest (unless the post-death surrender exception applies):

o the maturity rate will be credited only on amounts held for the entire Guarantee Period; and

o if you or a Designated Beneficiary surrenders or transfers any part of an allocated amount before the end of a Guarantee Period, only the Basic Rate will be credited on that part.

Any basic and maturity interest rates we set will be at least 3.5% per year.

Our method of crediting interest means that Fixed Account Value might be subject to different rates for each Guarantee Period you have selected in the Fixed Account. For purposes of this section, we treat Variable Account Value transferred to the Fixed Account and Fixed Account Value renewed for or transferred to another Guarantee Period as a purchase payment allocation.

With certain deaths, "Death Provisions for Non-Qualified Contracts" and "Death Provisions for Qualified Contracts" provide that the Designated Beneficiary may surrender the Contract within 90 days of the date of death for the Contract Value. In the event such a surrender occurs before the end of the Guarantee Period, we will immediately credit an additional interest amount so that the original allocation amount remaining at that time will have earned interest at the maturity rate throughout the Guarantee Period. For a surrender after 90 days, no additional interest amount will be credited.

Transfers when Guarantee Periods End

The total accumulated amount at the end of a Guarantee Period will be transferred to the new Guarantee Period(s) and/or Sub-account(s) of the Variable Account that you have selected in writing. If you have not made a selection, we will automatically transfer the total accumulated amount at the end of the Guarantee Period to the LMMF Sub-account. If the Guarantee Period selected exceeds the time remaining to the Income Date but does not exceed the time remaining to the latest Income Date allowable under the Contract, the Income Date will automatically change to the latest allowable date, which allows the selected Guarantee Period to go into effect. You may not select a Guarantee Period that would end after the Income Date.

Transfers of Fixed Account Value

You may transfer Fixed Account Value from one of your Guarantee Periods to another or to one or more Sub-accounts of the Variable Account. If the Fixed Account Value represents multiple Guarantee Periods, your transfer request must specify from which values you want the transfer made.

The Contract allows us to limit the number of transfers you may make in a specified time period. Currently, we generally limit Variable Account and Fixed Account transfers to 1 transfer every thirty days with a $2,000,000 per transfer dollar limit. See "Limits on Transfers". These limitations will not apply to any transfer made at the end of a Guarantee Period. We will notify you prior to any change in the current limitations.

You must request transfers in writing unless you have authorized us in writing to accept telephone transfer instructions from you or from a person acting on your behalf as an attorney-in-fact under a power of attorney. By authorizing us to accept telephone transfer instructions, you agree to the conditions and procedures we establish from time to time. The current conditions and procedures are in Appendix C. If you have authorized telephone transfers, you will be notified in advance, of any changes. A person acting on your behalf as an attorney-in-fact under a power of attorney may request transfers in writing.

If we receive your transfer requests before 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, which is the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange, we will execute them at the close of business that day. Any requests we receive later, we will execute at the close of the next business day.

We will deduct the amount of the transfer from the specified values in the manner stated in the next section below.

If you transfer 100% of a Guarantee Period's value and your current allocation for purchase payments includes that Guarantee Period, we will automatically change the allocation formula for future purchase payments unless you instruct otherwise. For example, if the allocation formula is 50% to the one-year Guarantee Period and 50% to Sub-account A and you transfer all Fixed Account Value to Sub-account A, we will change the allocation formula to 100% to Sub-account A.

Reductions of Guarantee Period Values After a Transfer or Surrender

You must specify in your transfer request from which Guarantee Period's values the transfer is to be made. A partial surrender request may, at your option, specify the Guarantee Period. The specified amount will be deducted from both the allocated purchase amount and its associated interest in the proportion that each bear to their total sum. For example, if $600 is to be deducted from a $800 payment that was allocated for a three-year Guarantee Period and the interest earned up to the date of transfer is $200 (for a total value of $1,000), $480 will be deducted from the payment allocation [($800/$1,000) x $600] and $120 will be deducted from the interest [($200/$1,000) x $600]. The $400 remaining after the transfer or surrender would thus represent $320 of payment allocation and $80 of interest. This $320, if it remains until the end of the Guarantee Period, would receive the Maturity Interest Rate credit described in "Interest Credits".

If a partial surrender request does not specify any Guarantee Period, the ordering rule in "Surrenders" may result in a certain amount of Fixed Account Value being automatically deducted. Any amount determined under that rule will be deducted from each Guarantee Period's values in the proportion that each bears to the total Fixed Account Value. For example, if $500 is to be deducted from two Guarantee Periods' values of $4,000 and $1,000, $400 will be deducted from the first Guarantee Period's values [($4,000/$5,000) x $500] and $100 will be deducted from the second [($1,000/$5,000) x $500]. Each of these amounts (the $400 and the $100 in the example) will then be deducted from the allocated purchase amount and its associated interest in the manner stated in the preceding paragraph.

The above rules determine only for the purpose of interest crediting the amount of the allocated purchase payment and its associated interest that still remains after any transfer or surrender. These rules are different from the rules used to determine contingent deferred sales charges. As a result, if you take a withdrawal from the Fixed Account, the amount of the withdrawn amount treated as a withdrawal of "purchase payments" in calculating the surrender charge may be more or less than the portion of the withdrawn amount deemed withdrawal of a "payment allocation". For more information as to how the surrender charge is calculated, see "Deductions for Contingent Deferred Sales Charge".

Fixed Annuity Payment Values

We determine the dollar amount of each fixed annuity payment by deducting any applicable premium taxes not previously deducted and then dividing the remaining Fixed Account Value by $1,000 and multiplying the result by the greater of:

o the applicable factor shown in the appropriate table in the Contract; or

o the factor we currently offer at the time annuity payments begin. This current factor may be based on the sex of the payee unless to do so would be prohibited by law.

APPENDIX B

APPENDIX C

TELEPHONE INSTRUCTIONS

Telephone Transfers of Contract Values

1. If there are joint Contract Owners, both must authorize us to accept telephone instructions but either Owner can give us telephone instructions.

2. All callers must identify themselves. We reserve the right to refuse to act upon any telephone instructions in cases where the caller has not sufficiently identified himself/herself to our satisfaction.

3. Neither we nor any person acting on our behalf shall be subject to any claim, loss, liability, cost or expense if we or such person acted in good faith upon a telephone instruction, including one that is unauthorized or fraudulent. However, we will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that a telephone instruction is genuine and, if we do not, we may be liable for losses due to an unauthorized or fraudulent instruction. You thus bear the risk that an unauthorized or fraudulent instruction we execute may cause your Contract Value to be lower than it would be had we not executed the instruction.

4. We record all conversations with disclosure at the time of the call.

5. The application for the Contract may allow you to create a power of attorney by authorizing another person to give telephone instructions. Unless prohibited by state law, we will treat such power as durable in nature and it shall not be affected by your subsequent incapacity, disability or incompetency. Either we or the authorized person may cease to honor the power by sending written notice to you at your last known address. Neither we nor any person acting on our behalf shall be subject to liability for any act executed in good faith reliance upon a power of attorney.

6. Telephone authorization shall continue in force until:

o we receive your written revocation,

o we discontinue the privilege, or

o we receive written evidence that you have entered into a market timing or asset allocation agreement with an investment adviser or with a broker/dealer.

7. If we receive telephone transfer instructions at 800-367-3653 before the 4:00 P.M. Eastern Time close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange, they will be initiated that day based on the unit value prices calculated at the close of that day. We will initiate instructions we receive after the close of trading on the NYSE on the following business day.

8. Once we accept instructions, they may not be canceled.

9. You must make all transfers in accordance with the terms of the Contract and current prospectus. If your transfer instructions are not in good order, we will not execute the transfer and will notify the caller within 48 hours.

10. If you transfer 100% of any Sub-account's value and the allocation formula for purchase payments includes that Sub-account, then we will change the allocation formula for future purchase payments accordingly unless we receive telephone instructions to the contrary. For example, if the allocation formula is 50% to Sub-account A and 50% to Sub-account B and you transfer all of Sub-account A's value to Sub-account B, we will change the allocation formula to 100% to Sub-account B unless you instruct us otherwise.

Telephone Changes to Purchase Payment Allocation Percentages

Numbers 1-6 above are applicable.

APPENDIX D

DOLLAR COST AVERAGING

We offer a dollar cost averaging program that you may participate in. The program periodically transfers Accumulation Units from the LMMF Sub-account or the One-Year Guarantee Period of the Fixed Account to other Sub-accounts you select. The program allows you to invest in non-"money market" Sub-accounts over time rather than having to invest in those Sub-accounts all at once.

The program is available for initial and subsequent purchase payments and for Contract Value transferred into the LMMF Sub-account or One-Year Guarantee Period. Under the program, we make automatic transfers on a periodic basis out of the LMMF Sub-account or the One-Year Guarantee Period into one or more of the other available Sub-accounts. We may limit the number of Sub-accounts you may choose but there are currently no limits. The automatic transfer program does not guarantee a profit nor does it protect against loss in declining markets. The One-Year Guarantee Period option of the program is not available under Contracts issued to New Jersey and Washington residents.

You must specify in writing the LMMF Sub-account or One-Year Guarantee Period from which the transfers are to be made, the monthly amount to be transferred and the Sub-account(s) to which the transfers are to be made. The minimum amount to be transferred is $150. The first transfer will occur at the close of the Valuation Period that includes the 30th day after the receipt of your request. Each succeeding transfer will occur one month later. If the 30th day after the receipt date is April 8, the second transfer will occur at the close of the Valuation Period that includes May 8. When the remaining value is less than the monthly transfer amount, that remaining value will be transferred and the program will end. Before this final transfer, you may extend the program by allocating additional purchase payments to the LMMF Sub-account or One-Year Guarantee Period or by transferring Contract Value to the LMMF Sub-account or One-Year Guarantee Period. You may, in writing or by telephone, change the monthly amount to be transferred, change the Sub-account(s) to which the transfers are to be made, or end the program. The program will automatically end if the Income Date occurs. We reserve the right to end the program at any time by sending you a notice one month in advance.

We must receive your written or telephone instructions by 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time of the business day preceding the next scheduled transfer in order for them to be in effect for that transfer. Telephone instructions are subject to the conditions and procedures we establish from time to time. The current conditions and procedures appear below and you will be notified, in advance, of any changes.

1. If there are joint Contract Owners, either Owner can give us telephone transfer instructions.

2. All callers will be required to identify themselves. We reserve the right to refuse to act upon any telephone instructions in cases where the caller has not sufficiently identified himself/herself to our satisfaction.

3. Neither we nor any person acting on our behalf shall be subject to any claim, loss, liability, cost or expense if it or such person acted in good faith upon a telephone instruction, including one that is unauthorized or fraudulent; however, we will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that a telephone instruction is genuine and, if we do not, we may be liable for losses due to an unauthorized or fraudulent instruction. You bear the risk that an unauthorized or fraudulent instruction that is executed may cause the Contract Value to be lower than it would be had no instruction been executed.

4. All conversations will be recorded with disclosure at the time of the call.

5. Telephone authorization shall continue in force until:

o we receive your written revocation,

o we discontinue the privilege, or

o we receive written evidence that you have entered into a market timing or asset allocation agreement with an investment adviser or with a broker/dealer.

6. We must receive your telephone instructions at 800-367-3653 before 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time of the business day preceding the next scheduled transfer in order for them to be in effect for that transfer.

7. Once we accept instructions, they may not be canceled. New telephone instructions may be given on the following business day.

8. All instructions must be made in accordance with the terms of the Contract and current prospectus. If the instructions are not in good order, we will not execute them and will notify the caller within 48 hours.

VARIABLE ANNUITY BENEFITS

Variable Annuity Payment Values

For each variable payment option, we calculate separately each Sub-account's contribution to your periodic payments. Your total periodic payment equals: (a) the sum of the payment amounts determined for all for all of the Sub-accounts you have selected; less (b) the pro-rata amount of the annual Contract Maintenance Charge.

The first payment for each Sub-account will be determined by deducting any applicable Contract Maintenance Charge and any applicable state premium taxes and then dividing the remaining value of your interest in that Sub-account by $1,000 and multiplying the result by the greater of: (a) the applicable factor from the Contract's annuity table for the particular payment option and the assumed investment rate ("AIR") you have selected; or (b) the factor currently offered by Sun Life (U.S.) at the time annuity payments begin. This current factor may be based on the sex of the payee unless to do so would be prohibited by law. The effect of your choice of AIR on the initial and subsequent annuity payments is explained in "Variable Annuity Payment Values" in the prospectus and in the last paragraph of this section.

The number of Annuity Units for each Sub-account will be determined by dividing such first payment by the Sub-account Annuity Unit value for the Valuation Period that includes the date of the first payment. The number of Annuity Units remains fixed for the annuity payment period. Each Sub-account payment after the first one will be determined by multiplying (a) by (b), where: (a) is the number of Sub-account Annuity Units; and (b) is the Sub-account Annuity Unit value for the Valuation Period that includes the date of the particular payment.

Variable annuity payments will fluctuate in accordance with the investment results of the underlying Eligible Funds. In order to determine how these fluctuations affect annuity payments, Sun Life (U.S.) uses an Annuity Unit value. Each Sub-account has its own Annuity Units and value per Unit. The Unit value applicable during any Valuation Period is determined at the end of such period.

When the Eligible Fund shares of SteinRoe Variable Investment Trust and Liberty Variable Investment Trust were first purchased on behalf of the Variable Account, each Annuity Unit for each Sub-account was valued at $10. The Unit value for each Sub-account in any Valuation Period thereafter is determined by multiplying the value for the prior period by a net investment factor (See "Net Investment Factor" in the prospectus). This factor may be greater or less than 1.0; therefore, the Annuity Unit may increase or decrease from Valuation Period to Valuation Period. For each AIR, Sun Life (U.S.) calculates a net investment factor for each Sub-account by dividing (a) by (b), where:

(a)

is equal to the net investment factor defined in the "Net Investment Factor" section of the prospectus without any deduction for the sales charge defined in (c)(ii) on that page; and

(b)

is the assumed investment factor for the current Valuation Period. The assumed investment factor adjusts for the interest assumed in determining the first variable annuity payment. Such factor for any Valuation Period shall be the accumulated value, at the end of such period, of $1.00 deposited at the beginning of such period at the AIR. The AIR for Annuity Units based on the Contract's annuity tables is 6% per year (3% per year for Florida contracts and 5% per year for Oregon contracts.) An AIR of 3% per year is also currently available upon Written Request.

With a particular AIR, payments after the first one will increase or decrease from month to month based on whether the actual annualized investment return of the selected Sub-account(s) (after deducting the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge) is better or worse than the assumed AIR percentage. If a given amount of Sub-account value is applied to a particular payment option, the initial payment will be smaller if a 3% AIR is selected instead of a 6% AIR but, all other things being equal, the subsequent 3% AIR payments have the potential for increasing in amount by a larger percentage and for decreasing in amount by a smaller percentage. For example, consider what would happen if the actual annualized investment return (see the first sentence of this paragraph) is 9%, 6%, 3%, or 0% between the time of the first and second payments. With an actual 9% return, the 3% AIR and 6% AIR payments would both increase in amount but the 3% AIR payment would increase by a larger percentage. With an actual 6% return, the 3% AIR payment would increase in amount while the 6% AIR payment would stay the same. With an actual return of 3%, the 3% AIR payment would stay the same while the 6% AIR payment would decrease in amount. Finally, with an actual return of 0%, the 3% AIR and 6% AIR payments would both decrease in amount but the 3% AIR payment would decrease by a smaller percentage. Note that the changes in payment amounts described above are on a percentage basis and thus do not illustrate when, if ever, the 3% AIR payment amount might become larger than the 6% AIR payment amount. Note though that if Option 1 (Income for a Fixed Number of Years) is selected and payments continue for the entire period, the 3% AIR payment amount will start out being smaller than the 6% AIR payment amount but eventually the 3% AIR payment amount will become larger than the 6% AIR payment amount.

Re-Allocating Sub-account Payments

The number of Annuity Units for each Sub-account under any variable annuity option will remain fixed during the entire annuity payment period unless the payee makes a written request for a change. Any change requested must be at least six months after a prior selection. The payee's request must specify the percentage of the annuity payment that is to be based on the investment performance of each Sub-account. The percentage for each Sub-account, if not zero, must be at least 10% and must be a whole number. At the end of the Valuation Period during which Sun Life (U.S.) receives the request, Sun Life (U.S.) will: (a) value the Annuity Units for each Sub-account to create a total annuity value; (b) apply the new percentages the payee has selected to this total value; and (c) recompute the number of Annuity Units for each Sub-account. This new number of units will remain fixed for the remainder of the payment period unless the payee requests another change.

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE

The Variable Account may from time to time quote performance information concerning its various Sub-accounts. A Sub-account's performance may also be compared to the performance of sub-accounts used with variable annuities offered by other insurance companies. This comparative information may be expressed as a ranking prepared by Financial Planning Resources, Inc. of Miami, FL (The VARDS Report) or by Morningstar, Inc. of Chicago, IL (Morningstar's Variable Annuity Performance Report), which are independent services that compare the performance of variable annuity sub-accounts. The rankings are done on the basis of changes in accumulation unit values over time and do not take into account any charges (such as sales charges or administrative charges) that are deducted directly from contract values.

Ibbotson Associates of Chicago, IL provides historical returns from 1926 on capital markets in the United States. The Variable Account may quote the performance of its Sub-accounts in conjunction with the long-term performance of capital markets in order to illustrate general long-term risk versus reward investment scenarios. Capital markets tracked by Ibbotson Associates include common stocks, small company stocks, long-term corporate bonds, long-term government bonds, U.S. Treasury Bills, and the U.S. inflation rate. Historical total returns are determined by Ibbotson Associates for: Common Stocks, represented by the Standard and Poor's Composite Stock Price Index (an unmanaged weighted index of 90 stocks prior to March 1957 and 500 stocks thereafter of industrial, transportation, utility and financial companies widely regarded by investors as representative of the stock market); Small Company Stocks, represented by the fifth capitalization quintile (i.e., the ninth and tenth deciles) of stocks on the New York Stock Exchange for 1926-1981 and by the performance of the Dimensional Fund Advisors Small Company 9/10 (for ninth and tenth deciles) Fund thereafter; Long Term Corporate Bonds, represented beginning in 1969 by the Salomon Brothers Long-Term High-Grade Corporate Bond Index, which is an unmanaged index of nearly all Aaa and Aa rated bonds, represented for 1946-1968 by backdating the Salomon Brothers Index using Salomon Brothers' monthly yield data with a methodology similar to that used by Salomon Brothers in computing its Index, and represented for 1925-1945 through the use of the Standard and Poor's monthly High-Grade Corporate Composite yield data, assuming a 4% coupon and a 20-year maturity. Long-Term Government Bonds, measured each year using a portfolio containing one U.S. government bond with a term of approximately twenty years and a reasonably current coupon; U.S. Treasury Bills, measured by rolling over each month a one-bill portfolio containing, at the beginning of each month, the shortest-term bill having not less than one month to maturity; Inflation, measured by the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers, not seasonably adjusted, since January, 1978 and by the Consumer Price Index before then. The stock capital markets may be contrasted with the corporate bond and U.S. government securities capital markets. Unlike an investment in stock, an investment in a bond that is held to maturity provides a fixed rate of return. Bonds have a senior priority to common stocks in the event the issuer is liquidated and interest on bonds is generally paid by the issuer before it makes any distributions to common stock owners. Bonds rated in the two highest rating categories are considered high quality and present minimal risk of default. An additional advantage of investing in U.S. government bonds and Treasury bills is that they are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and thus have virtually no risk of default. Although government securities fluctuate in price, they are highly liquid.

<R>

The tables below provide performance results for each Sub-account through December 31, 2003. The results shown in this section are not an estimate or guarantee of future investment performance, and do not represent the actual experience of amounts invested by a particular Contract Owner. Moreover, the performance information for four of the Sub-accounts (LFSF, LAAF, SRGSF and LSCGF) reflects the investment experience of the Eligible Funds previously available under the Variable Account. The Funds of the SteinRoe Trust replaced these other mutual funds as the Eligible Funds beginning January 1, 1989. These other funds had a different investment adviser (Keystone Custodian Funds, Inc.) than the SteinRoe Trust (Stein Roe & Farnham, Incorporated). See Appendix B of the prospectus. The performance information for the same four Sub-accounts also reflects historical asset-based charges for the period before May 1, 1989 that are at a lower level than the current asset-based charges.

</R>

Average Annual Total Return for a Contract that is Surrendered and for a Contract that Continues

The first section of the following table was calculated using the method prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. It illustrates each Sub-account's average annual total return over the periods shown assuming a single $1,000 initial purchase payment and the surrender of the contract at the end of each period. The Sub-account's average annual total return is the annual rate that would be necessary to achieve the ending value of an investment kept in the Sub-account for the period specified.

Each calculation assumes that the $1,000 initial purchase payment was allocated to only one Sub-account and no transfers or additional purchase payments were made. The rate of return reflects all charges assessed against a Contract and the Sub-account except for any premium taxes that may be payable. The charges reflected are: a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge that applies when the hypothetical Contract is surrendered; the annual 1.25% Mortality and Expense Risk Charge; for any period on or after May 1, 1989, the annual 0.15% sales charge; and, on an allocated basis, the Contract's Contract Maintenance Charge that is deducted at the end of each year and upon surrender. The Contingent Deferred Sales Charge used in the calculations for a particular Sub-account is equal to the percentage charge in effect at the end of the period multiplied by: the assumed $1,000 payment less any amount of that payment that is free of Contingent Deferred Sales Charge under the Contract's surrender provisions. The percentage charge declines from 7% to 1% over 7 years by 1% per year. The Contract Maintenance Charge used in the calculations for a particular Sub-account is equal to a dollar and time-weighted average for that Sub-account based on a yearly charge of $30 for the portion of the period shown that is before 7/1/94 and $36 for any later portion of that period. A particular Sub-account's prorated portion is then equated to a $1,000 basis by multiplying it by a fraction equal to $1,000 divided by the average Contract Value in that Sub-account during the period shown.

The second section of the table was calculated in the same manner as the first except no Contingent Deferred Sales Charge was deducted since it is assumed the Contract continues through the end of each period.

If the current charges under the Contracts had been in effect during the period before May 1, 1989, any total return percentage that includes a period before May 1, 1989 would be lower than the percentage shown since current Accumulation Unit values reflect additional asset-based charges of .15% (i.e., total asset-based charges of 1.40% rather than 1.25%).

Change in Accumulation Unit Value

The following performance information illustrates the average annual change and the actual annual change in Accumulation Unit values for each Sub-account and is computed differently than the standardized average annual total return information.

A Sub-account's average annual change in Accumulation Unit values is the annualized rate at which the value of a Unit changes over the time period illustrated. A Sub-account's actual annual change in Accumulation Unit values is the rate at which the value of a Unit changes over each 12-month period illustrated. These rates of change in Accumulation Unit values reflect the Contract's annual 1.25% Mortality and Expense Risk Charge and for any period on or after May 1, 1989, the annual .15% sales charge. They do not reflect deductions for any Contingent Deferred Sales Charge, Contract Maintenance Charge, and premium taxes. The rates of change would be lower if these charges were included.

If the current charges under the Contract had been in effect during the period before May 1, 1989, any change percentage that includes a period before May 1, 1989 would be lower than the percentage shown since current Accumulation Unit values reflect additional asset-based charges of .15% (i.e., total asset-based charges of 1.40% rather than 1.25%).

* Percentage of change is for less than 12 months; it is for the period from the inception date shown in the second column to the end of the year.

** Eligible Fund expenses in excess of defined amounts were reimbursed during one ore more calendar years for all Eligible Funds. The return percentages shown would be lower without this expense reimbursement.

Yields for LMMF Sub-account

Yield and effective yield percentages for the LMMF Sub-account are calculated using the method prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Both yields reflect the deduction of the annual 1.40% asset-based Contract charges. Both yields also reflect, on an allocated basis, the Contract's annual $36 Contract Maintenance Charge. Both yields do not reflect Contingent Deferred Sales Charges and premium taxes. The yields would be lower if these charges were included. The following are the standardized formulas:

Yield equals:   (A - B - 1) x  365

                            C                7

Effective Yield Equals:   (A - B)^365/7 - 1

                                            C

Where:

A	=	the Accumulation Unit value at the end of the 7-day period.
B	=	hypothetical Contract Maintenance Charge for the 7-day period. The assumed annual LMMF charge is equal to the $36 Contract charge multiplied by a fraction equal to the average number of Contracts with LMMF Sub-account value during the 7-day period divided by the average total number of Contracts during the 7-day period. This annual amount is converted to a 7-day charge by multiplying it by 7/365. It is then equated to an Accumulation Unit size basis by multiplying it by a fraction equal to the average value of one LMMF Accumulation Unit during the 7-day period divided by the average Contract Value in LMMF Sub-account during the 7-day period.
C	=	the Accumulation Unit value at the beginning of the 7-day period.

The yield formula assumes that the weekly net income generated by an investment in the LMMF Sub-account will continue over an entire year. The effective yield formula also annualizes seven days of net income but it assumes that the net income is reinvested over the year. This compounding effect causes effective yield to be higher than the yield.

<R>

For the 7-day period ended 12/31/03 the yield for the LMMF Sub-account was -0.69% and the effective yield was -0.55%.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the Sub-Accounts of Sun Life Assurance and Annuity Company of Canada (U.S.) - Keyport Variable Account KMA (comprising of, Evergreen Blue Chip Fund - A Sub-Account, Evergreen Diversified Bond Fund - A Sub- Account, Evergreen High Yield Bond Fund - A Sub-Account, Evergreen Money Market Fund - A Sub-Account, Columbia International Fund VS (A) Sub-Account, Columbia Strategic Income Fund VS (A) Sub-Account, Liberty Growth & Income Fund VS (A) Sub-Account, Newport Tiger Fund VS (A) Sub-Account, Liberty Asset Allocation Fund VS (A) Sub-Account, Liberty Federal Securities Fund VS (A) Sub-Account, Liberty Money Market Fund VS (A) Sub-Account, Liberty Small Company Growth Fund VS (A) Sub-Account, SteinRoe Growth Stock Fund VS (A) Sub-Account, Evergreen Emerging Growth VS (A) Sub-Account, SteinRoe Global Utilities Fund VS (A) Sub-Account, Liberty Value Fund VS (A) Sub-Account) (the "Sub-Accounts") as of December 31, 2003, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of two years in the period then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of Sun Life Assurance and Annuity Company of Canada (U.S.)'s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2003 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Sub-Accounts as of December 31, 2003, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, changes in their net assets for the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The information contained in footnote 5 for the year ended December 31, 2001 was derived from the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001 audited by other auditors, whose report dated April 19, 2002 expressed an unqualified opinion.

SUN LIFE ASSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY OF CANADA (U.S.) - KMA VARIABLE ACCOUNT

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2003

1. Organization

KMA Variable Account (the "Variable Account") is a separate investment account established by Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (the "Company") to receive and invest premium payments under flexible purchase payment deferred and immediate variable annuity contracts issued by the Company. The Variable Account was previously a separate investment account of Keyport Life Insurance Company ("Keyport"). On December 31, 2003, Keyport merged into Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (the "Company"). The merger had no effect on the existing rights and benefits of the policyholders of the Variable Account.

As a result of the merger, the name of the variable account changed to Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) - KMA Variable Account (previously known as Keyport Life Insurance Company - KMA Variable Account).

The Variable Account operates as a Unit Investment Trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, (as amended) and invests in eligible mutual funds. With the exception of K-100 contractholders, there are currently two funding vehicles available to the Variable Account, the SteinRoe Variable Investment Trust ("SRVIT") and the Liberty Variable Investment Trust ("LVIT"). A third trust, Keystone Custodian Funds, is only available to existing K-100 contractholders. This contract series was issued prior to May 1, 1986. There are currently fourteen available subaccounts within the Variable Account to which contract funds may be allocated.

On April 4, 2003, the following funds changed their names: Colonial International Fund for Growth Fund VS (A) to Columbia International Fund VS (A); SteinRoe Balance Fund VS (A) to Liberty Asset Allocation Fund VS (A); Colonial US Growth & Income Fund VS (A) to Liberty Growth & Income Fund VS (A); SteinRoe Money Markey Fund VS (A) to Liberty Money Market Fund VS (A); SteinRoe Small Company Growth Fund VS (A) to Liberty Small Company Growth Fund VS (A).

On April 7, 2003 Liberty Value Fund VS (A) merged into Liberty Growth & Income Fund VS (A). On April 14, 2003, SteinRoe Global Utilities Fund VS (A) merged into Columbia International Fund VS (A).

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported therein. Although actual results could differ from these estimates, any such differences are expected to be immaterial to the Variable Account.

Shares of the SRVIT and LVIT funds are sold to the Variable Account at the reported net asset values. Transactions are recorded on the trade date. Income from dividends is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are computed on the basis of identified cost of the investments sold.

Annuity reserves are computed for contracts in the income stage according to the 1983a Individual Annuity Mortality Table. The assumed investment rate is either 3.0%, 4.0%, 5.0% or 6.0% unless the annuitant elects otherwise, in which case the rate may vary from 3.0% to 6.0%, as regulated by the laws of the respective states. The mortality risk is fully borne by the Company.

The net assets retained by the Company represent seed money shares invested in certain Sub-Accounts required to commence operations. The seed money is stated at market value (shares multiplied by net asset value per share).

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 taxable, and therefore, no provision has been made for federal income taxes.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2003 (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

If a policyholder's financial transaction is not executed on the appropriate investment date, a correcting buy or sell of shares is required by the Company to make the policyholder whole. The resulting risk of a gain or loss from this corrections does not have any effect on the policyholder's account and is fully assumed by the Company.

3. Expenses

There are not any deductions made from purchase payments for sales charges at the time of purchase. In the event of a contract termination, a contingent deferred sales charge, based on a graded table of charges, is deducted. An annual contract maintenance charge to cover the cost of contract administration is deducted from each contractholder's account on the contract anniversary date. Daily deductions are made from each Sub-Account for assumption of mortality and expense risk. The effective annual rates as a percentage of contract value are as follow:

Keyport Flex I: 1.25%

Keyport Flex II: 1.35%

Keystone 100: 1.00%

Preferred Advisor: 1.25%; a daily sales charge is also deducted at an effective annual rate of 0.15% of contract value.

Preferred Advisor Employee: 0.35%

4. Affiliated Company Transactions

The Company provides administrative services necessary for the operation of the Variable Account. The Company has absorbed all organizational expenses including the fees of registering the Variable Account and its contracts for distribution under federal and state securities laws. Clarendon Insurance Agency, Inc. ("Clarendon"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is the principal underwriter for SRVIT and LVIT. On December 31, 2003, Keyport Financial Services Corp. (KFSC), (former principal underwriter for SRVIT and LVIT and a wholly owned subsidiary of Keyport) merged into Clarendon with Clarendon as the surviving entity. The investment advisors' compensation is based upon the fair value of the mutual funds.

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

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

3 These return ranges represent the total returns for the periods indicated in Statements of Operations and Statements of Changes in Net Assets, including changes in the value of the underlying fund, and reflect deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return ratio 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 in Statements of Operations and Statements of Changes in Net Assets the effective date of that investment option in the variable account. The total return ratio is calculated for the period indicated or from the effective date as noted in Statements of Operations and Statements of Changes in Net Assets through the end of the reporting period

4 These net assets do not include seed money retained by the Company. The seed money was invested by the company in certain Sub-Accounts that required funds to commence operations.

5 These units represent both the deferred and the payout units of the underlined Sub-Accounts. However the units in the statements of asset and liability detail only the deferred units of the Sub-Account of the Variable Account.

6 These ratios represent the annualized investment income ratios.

8. Diversification Requirements

Under the provisions 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 treated as an annuity 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. The Company believes that the Variable Account satisfies the current requirements of the regulations, and it intends that the Variable Account will continue to meet such requirements.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

GENERAL

Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) ("SLUS") was incorporated in 1970 as a life insurance company domiciled in the State of Delaware. On April 3, 2003, SLUS and its affiliate Keyport Life Insurance Company ("Keyport"), filed a Form D (Prior notice of Transaction) with the Division of Insurance Department of Business Regulation of the State of Rhode Island and filed similar documents with the Delaware Department of Insurance. Both filings sought regulatory approval for the merger of Keyport with and into SLUS. On December 31, 2003 at 5:00 p.m., SLUS and Keyport completed the merger. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Keyport merged with and into SLUS with SLUS as the surviving company ("the Company"). The Company is licensed and authorized to write all business that was previously written by Keyport and SLUS. The merger has no effect on the existing rights and benefits of policyholders or contractholders from either company. Both Keyport and SLUS were direct wholly-owned subsidiaries of Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Holdings, Inc. ("SLC U.S. Holdings"), and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Sun Life Financial Inc. ("SLF"), a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The following summarizes the results of operations and total assets as of and for the year ended December 31, 2003:

	Keyport	SLUS	Surviving Entity
Total revenues	$ 893,846	$ 625,903	$ 1,519,749
Total expenditures	764,596	624,426	1,389,022
Pretax income	129,250	1,477	130,727
Net income	$ 76,452	$ 18,539	$ 94,991
Total Assets	$ 21,084,746	$ 22,541,772	$ 43,626,518

The merger was accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations." Under SFAS No. 141, transfers of net assets and exchanges of shares between entities under common control are recorded at their carrying amounts at the date of transfer. The financial statements of prior periods have been restated to give effect to the merger as of November 1, 2001, the date on which the companies came under common control.

The impact of the merger with Keyport (decreased) increased net income by $(22.6) million and $87.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

As of December 31, 2003, the Company was licensed in 49 states and certain other territories. In addition, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York ("SLNY"), is licensed in New York. The Company and its subsidiaries are engaged in the sale of individual and group variable life insurance, individual fixed and variable annuities, group fixed and variable annuities, group pension contracts, guaranteed investment contracts ("GICs"), group life, group disability and stop loss insurance, and other asset management services.

The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of SLC (U.S.) Holdings, which is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada ("SLOC"). SLOC is a life insurance company domiciled in Canada, which reorganized from a mutual life insurance company to a stock life insurance company on March 22, 2000. As a result of the demutualization, a new holding company, SLF, is now the ultimate parent of SLOC and the Company.

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

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for stockholder-owned life insurance companies.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2003, the Company owned all of the outstanding shares of SLNY, Sun Benefit Services Company, Inc. ("SBSC"), Sun Capital Advisers, Inc. ("SCA"), Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) SPE 97-1, Inc. ("SPE 97-1), Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Holdings General Partner LLC ("the General Partner"), Clarendon Insurance Agency, Inc. ("Clarendon"), and Independence Life and Annuity Company ("Independence Life"). The General Partner is the sole general partner in Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Limited Partnership I ('the Partnership") and as a result, the Partnership is consolidated with the results of the Company.

SLNY is engaged in the sale of individual fixed and variable annuity contracts, variable universal life insurance, and group life, group disability insurance and stop loss contracts in its state of domicile, New York. SBSC became an inactive subsidiary 2002. SCA is a registered investment adviser. SPE 97-1 was organized for the purpose of engaging in activities incidental to securitizing mortgage loans. The General Partner is the sole general partner of the Partnership. The Partnership was established to purchase subordinated debentures issued by the Company's parent, SLC U.S. Holdings, and to issue Partnership capital securities to an affiliated business trust, Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Capital Trust I, ("Capital Trust I"). Clarendon is a registered broker-dealer that acts as the general distributor of certain annuity and life insurance contracts issued by the Company and its affiliates. Independence Life is a life insurance company that sold variable and whole life insurance products.

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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates are those used in determining the fair value of financial instruments, deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC"), value of business acquired ("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 and cash equivalents, fixed maturity investments, mortgage loans, equity securities, off balance sheet financial instruments, debt, loan commitments and financial guarantees. These instruments involve credit risk and also may be subject to risk of loss due to interest rate fluctuation. The Company evaluates and monitors each financial instrument individually and, when appropriate, obtains collateral or other security to minimize losses.

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.

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

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 intent as either held-to-maturity, trading or available-for-sale. In order for the security to be classified as held-to-maturity, the Company must have positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Securities held-to-maturity are stated at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading. Trading securities are carried at aggregate fair value with changes in unrealized gains or losses 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. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with the unrealized gains or losses reported in other comprehensive income.

Fair values for publicly traded securities are obtained from external market quotations. For privately placed fixed maturities, fair values are estimated by taking into account prices for publicly traded securities of similar credit risk, maturities repayment and liquidity characteristics. All security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis.

The Company's accounting policy for impairment requires recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment write-down on a security if it is determined that the Company is unable to recover all amounts due under the contractual obligation of the security. Once an impairment charge has been recorded, the Company continues to review the other-than-temporarily impaired security for additional impairment, if necessary. Other-than-temporary impairments are reported as a component of net realized investment gains (losses).

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 properties' value at the time that the original loan is made.

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

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

Policy loans are carried at the amount of outstanding principal balance. Policy loans are collateralized by the related insurance policy and do not exceed the excess of the net cash surrender value of such policy.

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

Investments in private equity limited partnerships are accounted for on either the cost or equity method. The equity method of accounting is used for all partnerships in which the Company has an ownership interest in excess of 3%.

The Company uses derivative financial instruments including swaps and options 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 specific cost identification method. When an impairment of a specific 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 previously accrued is reversed against current period interest income. Interest accruals are resumed on such investments only when they are brought fully current with respect to principal and interest, have performed on a sustained basis for a reasonable period of time, and when, in the judgment of management, the 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 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 and direct variable administrative expenses. This amortization is reviewed periodically and adjusted retrospectively when the Company revises the actual profits and its estimate of future gross profits to be realized from this group of products, including realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments.

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

DAC is also adjusted for amounts relating to the recognition of unrealized investment gains and losses. This adjustment, net of tax, is included with the change in net unrealized investment gains or losses that is credited or charged directly to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). DAC adjustments were $(79.2) million and $(39.9) million at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

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. Interest is accrued on the unamortized balance at the average interest crediting rate.

VALUE OF BUSINESS ACQUIRED (CONTINUED)

VOBA is also adjusted for amounts relating to the recognition of unrealized investment gains and losses. This adjustment, net of tax, is included with the change in net unrealized investment gains or losses that is credited or charged directly to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). VOBA adjustments were $(27.5) million and $(32.9) million at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

GOODWILL

Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price paid and the fair value of the net assets acquired in connection with the acquisition of Keyport on October 31, 2001 by SLC (U.S.) Holdings. Goodwill is accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." Effective January 1, 2002, goodwill is no longer amortized and 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 2003 and concluded that these assets are not impaired. The Company used the actuarial appraisal method, with assumptions and discount rates reflective of current market conditions and determined that the fair value of the Company was at least equal to the carrying value. The Company also compared the results of that valuation to a range of values based on historical multiples, and found them to be consistent with the results of the actuarial appraisal method. Goodwill is allocated to the Company's Wealth Management Segment.

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 provided using the straight-line method over the lesser of the term of the leases or the estimated useful life of the improvements. Intangible assets and reinsurance receivables from reinsurance ceded are also included in other assets.

Intangible assets acquired primarily consist of state insurance licenses ($10.1 million) that are not subject to amortization. The remaining $2.0 million of intangible assets relate to product rights that have a weighted-average useful life of 7 years.

POLICY LIABILITIES AND ACCRUALS

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 and GICS. The liabilities consist of deposits received plus interest credited, less accumulated policyholder charges, assessments and withdrawals. The liability is before the deduction of any applicable surrender charges.

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

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

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

REVENUE AND EXPENSES

Premiums for traditional individual life products are considered revenue when due. Premiums related to group life, stop loss and group disability insurance are recognized as revenue pro-rata over the contract period. The unexpired portion of these premiums is recorded as unearned premiums. Revenue from universal life-type products and investment-related products includes charges for 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.

Other than DAC, benefits and expenses related to traditional life, annuity and disability contracts, including group policies, are recognized when incurred in a manner designed to match them with related premium revenue and spread income recognition over expected policy lives. For universal life-type and investment-type contracts, 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 2003 tax year, as in prior years, SLUS will participate in the consolidated federal income tax return with Sun Life of Canada - US Operations Holdings, Inc. ("SLOC U.S. Operations Holdings") and other affiliates. For 2003, Keyport will continue to file a separate consolidated return with its affiliate, Independence Life. Effective for the tax year 2004, the combined entity will participate in the consolidated federal income tax return with SLOC U.S. Operations Holdings. Deferred income taxes are generally recognized when assets and liabilities have different values for financial statement and tax reporting purposes, and for other temporary taxable and deductible differences as defined by SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." These differences primarily result from policy reserves, policy acquisition expenses and unrealized gains or losses on investments.

SEPARATE ACCOUNTS

The Company has established separate accounts applicable to various classes of contracts providing for variable benefits. Separate account assets are subject to general account claims only to the extent the value of such assets exceeds the separate account liabilities. Contracts for which funds are invested in separate accounts include variable life insurance and individual and group qualified and non-qualified variable annuity contracts. 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.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain amounts in the prior years' financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2003 presentation.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Effective December 31, 2003, the Company adopted the disclosure requirements of Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 03-01, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments". Under the consensus, disclosures are required for unrealized losses on fixed maturity and equity securities accounted for under SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investment in Debt and Equity Securities," that are classified as either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)

The disclosure requirements include quantitative information regarding the aggregate amount of unrealized losses and the associated fair value of the investments in an unrealized loss position, segregated into time periods for which the investments have been in an unrealized loss position. The consensus also requires certain qualitative disclosures about the unrealized holdings in order to provide additional information that the Company considered in concluding that the unrealized losses were not other-than-temporary. For further discussion, see disclosures in Note 4.

In June 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149 is intended to result in more consistent reporting of contracts as either freestanding derivative instruments subject to SFAS No. 133 in its entirety, or as hybrid instruments with debt host contracts and embedded derivative features. SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS No. 150 requires certain financial instruments that embody obligations of the issuer and have characteristics of both liabilities and equity to be classified as liabilities. SFAS No. 150 was effective July 1, 2003 for the Company. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In April 2003, the FASB issued guidance in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. B36, "Embedded Derivatives: Modified Coinsurance Arrangements and Debt Instruments That Incorporate Credit Risk Exposures That Are Unrelated or Only Partially Related to the Creditworthiness of the Obligor of Those Instruments" ("DIG B36"), that addresses the instances in which bifurcation of an instrument into a debt host contract and an embedded derivative is required. The effective date of DIG B36 was October 1, 2003. The adoption of DIG B36 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

On March 14, 2003, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") issued a proposed Statement of Position ("SOP"), "Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs on Internal Replacements other than those specifically described in FASB Statement No. 97." This proposed SOP provides guidance on accounting by insurance companies for DAC on internal replacements other than those specifically described in FASB Statement No. 97. This proposed SOP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004. The Company is in the process of evaluating the provision of this proposed SOP and its impact to the Company's financial position and results of operations.

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN No. 46"). In December 2003, the FASB issued a revised version of FIN 46 ("FIN 46R"), which incorporates a number of modifications and changes made to the original version. FIN 46R replaces the previously issued FIN No. 46 and, subject to certain special provisions, is effective no later than the first reporting period that ends after December 15, 2003 for entities considered to be special-purpose entities and no later than the end of the first reporting period that ends after March 15, 2004 for all other VIE's. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted FIN No. 46 and FIN 46R in the fourth quarter of 2003. Implementation of FIN No. 46 and FIN 46R resulted in the consolidation of two variable interest entities ("VIE's") and increased total consolidated assets by $67.8 million at December 31, 2003. As required by FIN No. 46 and FIN 46R, the difference between the carrying amount of the assets and the fair value of the VIE's resulted in a cumulative effect of change in accounting principles, net of tax, of $7.5 million as of the date of adoption.

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

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)

The Company is not the primary beneficiary in any VIEs other than the two entities that were discussed above. The Company does have a greater than or equal to 21% involvement in 11 VIEs at December 31, 2003. The Company is a creditor in 8 trusts, 2 limited liability companies and one special purpose entity that were used to finance commercial mortgages, franchise receivables, auto 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 $42.1 million at December 31, 2003. The notes mature between June 2004 and December 2035. See Note 4 for additional information with respect to leveraged leases.

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN No. 45"). FIN No. 45 requires entities to establish liabilities for certain types of guarantees, and expands financial statement disclosures for others. Disclosure requirements under FIN No. 45 are effective for financial statements of annual periods ending after December 15, 2002 and are applicable to all guarantees issued by the guarantor subject to the provisions of FIN No. 45. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of FIN No. 45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. Adoption of FIN No. 45 did not have a material impact on the Company.

In July 2002, the AICPA issued Statement of Position 03-1 ("SOP 03-1"), "Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Nontraditional Long-Duration Contracts and for Separate Accounts." SOP 03-1 provides guidance on accounting and reporting by insurance enterprises for certain nontraditional long-duration contracts and for separate accounts. SOP 03-1 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2003. The Company is in the process of evaluating the provisions of SOP 03-1 and its impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." These statements changed the accounting for business combinations and goodwill in two significant ways. First, SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. Use of the pooling-of-interests method is prohibited. Second, SFAS No. 142 changed the accounting for goodwill from an amortization method to an impairment-only approach. Thus, amortization of goodwill, including goodwill recorded in past business combinations, ceased upon the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 142, which was January 1, 2002. Adopting SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142 did not have a material impact on the Company.

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

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

2. MERGERS, ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

On April 2, 2003, the Company and its affiliate, Keyport, filed a Form D (Prior Notice of a Transaction) with the Division of Insurance, Department of Business Regulation of Rhode Island. On April 3, 2003, the Company and Keyport filed similar documents with the Delaware Department of Insurance. Both filings sought regulatory approval for a contemplated merger of Keyport with and into the Company.

2. MERGERS, ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS (CONTINUED)

The Company is, and Keyport was, a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of SLC (U.S.) Holdings and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of SLF. The boards of directors of both the Company and Keyport voted to approve the merger at their meetings on April 24, 2003. Regulatory approval from the States of Rhode Island and Delaware was received on June 11, 2003 and July 21, 2003, respectively. The merger occurred as planned on December 31, 2003, with the Company as the surviving entity. The merger had no effect on the existing rights and benefits of policyholders or contract holders from either company.

On December 31, 2003, Clarendon merged with an affiliate, Keyport Financial Services Corp. ("KFSC"), with Clarendon as the surviving entity. KFSC was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Keyport.

On November 18, 2003, the Company sold its interest in its' wholly-owned subsidiary, Vision Financial Corporation ("Vision"), for $1.5 million. A loss of approximately $1.0 million was realized on this transaction.

On April 1, 2003, Sun Life Financial Services Limited ("SLFSL"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, ceased operations and SLFSL was liquidated during the fourth quarter of 2003. SLFSL served as marketing administrator for the distribution of offshore products offered by SLOC, an affiliate.

On October 31, 2001, SLC (U.S.) Holdings acquired Keyport and its subsidiaries for approximately $1.7 billion in cash. As part of the acquisition, Sun Life Financial (U.S.) Holdings, Inc. ("SLF (U.S.) Holdings"), another indirect subsidiary of SLOC, acquired Independent Financial Marketing Group, Inc. ("IFMG"). The acquisition of Keyport and IFMG complemented SLF's product array and distribution capabilities and advanced SLF toward its strategic goal of reaching a top ten position in certain target product markets in North America.

This acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method under SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations." Under the purchase method of accounting, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at estimated fair value on the date of acquisition. The following summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of November 1, 2001:

Assets:
Fixed-maturity securities	$       10,609,150
Equity securities	35,313
Mortgage loans	7,216

For the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001

2. MERGERS, ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS (CONTINUED)

In 2002, the Company completed its valuation of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The revisions decreased goodwill by $9.6 million, increased the deferred tax assets by $54.9 million, increased policy liabilities by $13.0 million, increased other liabilities by $13.7 million and reduced investments and other assets by $12.8 million and $5.8 million, respectively.

On December 18, 2002, the Company sold its interest in its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Distributors, Inc. ("SLD") to another affiliate, SLF (U.S.) Holdings, for $10.5 million. No gain or loss was realized on this transaction. Effective January 1, 2003, SLD changed its name to MFS/Sun Life Financial Distributors, Inc. ("MFSLF") and thereafter Massachusetts Financial Services Company ("MFS"), an affiliate of the Company, acquired a 50% ownership interest in MFSLF. Total net income of SLD for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 was $4.9 million and $10.2 million, respectively.

On October 9, 2002, SLNY, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Keyport Benefit Life Insurance Company ("KBL"), which was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Keyport, filed an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") with the New York State Insurance Department. On December 31, 2002 at 5:00 p.m., SLNY and KBL completed the merger. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, KBL merged with and into SLNY, with SLNY as the surviving entity. The merger had no effect on the existing rights and benefits of policyholders or contract holders from either company. Keyport, KBL, the Company, and SLNY are, and at all times relevant to the merger were, indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries of SLOC.

3. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

In 2003, the Company sold a $100 million note from MFS, an affiliate, to another affiliate, Sun Life (Hungary) Group Financing Limited Liability Company ("Sun Life (Hungary) LLC"), for approximately $109.1 million. The note was included in fixed maturities available-for-sale at December 31, 2002. The note was sold at a gain of $9.1 million.

The Company and its subsidiaries have management services agreements with SLOC which provide that SLOC will furnish, as requested, certain services and facilities on a cost-reimbursement basis. Expenses under these agreements amounted to approximately $73.3 million in 2003, $64.4 million in 2002, and $42.9 million in 2001.

The Company has an administrative services agreement with Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada - U.S. Operations Holdings, Inc., under which the Company provides administrative and investor services with respect to certain open-end management investment companies for which MFS serves as the investment adviser, and which are offered to certain of the Company's separate accounts established in connection with the variable annuity contracts issued by the Company. Amounts received under this agreement amounted to approximately $21.3 million, $24.0 million and $13.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

The Company leases office space to SLOC under lease agreements with terms expiring in September 2005 and options to extend the terms for each of twelve successive five year terms at fair market value of the fixed rent for the term, which is ending. Rent received by the Company under the leases amounted to approximately $11.8 million, $11.7 million, and $8.8 million in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Rental income is reported as a component of net investment income.

As more fully described in Note 7, the Company has been involved in several reinsurance transactions with SLOC.

The Company did not make any dividend payments in 2003 or 2002. In 2001, the Company declared and paid dividends in the amount of $15 million to its parent, SLC (U.S.) Holdings.

On September 24, 2002, the Company received a $100 million capital contribution from its parent, SLC (U.S.) Holdings.

3. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES (CONTINUED)

On July 25, 2002, the Company issued a $380 million promissory note at 5.76% and an $80 million promissory note at 5.71%, both maturing June 30, 2012 to an affiliate, Sun Life (Hungary) LTD. The Company pays interest semi-annually to Sun Life (Hungary) LTD. Total interest paid was $26.5 million and $11.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The proceeds of the notes were used to purchase fixed rate government and corporate bonds.

Effective January 2002, essentially all United States employees of SLOC became employees of the Company. As a result, the Company has assumed most of the salaries and benefits previously incurred by SLOC in the United States. In accordance with a management service agreement between the Company and SLOC, the Company provides personnel and certain services to SLOC, as requested. Reimbursements under this agreement, which are recorded as a reduction of other operating expenses, were approximately $152.2 and $135.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Management believes inter-company revenues and expenses are calculated on a reasonable basis, however, these amounts may not necessarily be indicative of the costs that would be incurred if the Company operated on a standalone basis.

At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company had $565 million of surplus notes issued to Sun Life Financial (U.S.) Finance, Inc., an affiliate of the Company. The Company expensed $43.3 million for interest on these surplus notes for each of the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

During 2003, the Company purchased $80 million in promissory notes from MFS. These promissory notes are included with fixed maturities available-for-sale in the financial statements. The interest rates on these notes range from 2.988% to 3.512% and the terms are from 3-5 years. Interest earned as of December 31, 2003 was $0.6 million.

During 2003, the Company paid $14.6 million in commission fees to MFSLF.

During 2003, 2002 and 2001, the Company paid $64.5 million, $79.4 million and $11.8 million, respectively, in commission fees to IFMG.

As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, 93.7% and 95.1%, respectively, of the Company's fixed maturities were investment grade. Investment grade securities are those that are rated "BBB" or better by nationally recognized rating agencies. During 2003, 2002 and 2001, the Company incurred realized losses totaling $58.1 million, $94.4 million and $5.5 million, respectively, for other-than-temporary impairment of value of some of its fixed maturities after determining that not all of the unrealized losses were temporary in nature.

During 2003, 2002 and 2001, $6.6 million, $1.6 million and $9.7 million, respectively, of the losses recorded in prior years were recovered through dispositions and are included in realized gains. The Company has stopped accruing income on several of its holdings for issuers that are in default. The termination of accrual accounting on these holdings reduced income by $10.1 million, $2.5 million and $0.4 million during 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

The following table provides the fair value and gross unrealized losses of the Company's investments, which were deemed to be temporarily impaired, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in an unrealized loss position, at December 31, 2003:

The Company has a comprehensive process in place to identify potential problem securities that could have an impairment that is other-than-temporary. At the end of each quarter, all securities with a market value below 80% of amortized cost for more than six months are reviewed. An analysis is undertaken to determine whether this decline in market value is other-than-temporary. The Company's process focuses on issuer operating performance and overall industry and market conditions. Any deterioration in operating performance is assessed relative to the impact on financial ratios including leverage and coverage measures specific to an industry and relative to any investment covenants.

The Company's analysis also assesses each issuer's ability to service its debts in a timely fashion, the length of time the security has been trading below 80% of amortized cost, rating agency actions, and any other key developments. The Company has a Credit Committee that includes members from the Investment, Finance and Actuarial functions. The committee meets and reviews the results of the Company's impairment analysis on a quarterly basis.

The Company monitors the condition of the mortgage loans in its portfolio. In those cases where mortgages have been restructured, values are impaired or values are impaired but mortgages are performing, appropriate allowances for losses have been made. The Company has restructured mortgage loans, impaired mortgage loans and impaired but performing mortgage loans totaling $19.5 million and $9.0 million at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, against which there are allowances for losses of $6.4 million and $7.1 million, respectively.

At December 31, 2003, scheduled mortgage loan maturities were as follows:

2003	$ 26,169
2004	40,226
2005	18,320
2006	93,852
2007	53,604
Thereafter	739,931
Total	$ 972,102

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

The Company has made commitments of mortgage loans on real estate and other loans into the future. The outstanding commitments for these mortgages amounted to $126.8 million and $92.2 million at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

During 2003 and 2002, the Company sold commercial mortgage loans in securitization transactions. The Company did not sell any commercial mortgage loans in securitization transactions during 2001. The mortgages were sold to qualified special purpose entities that were established for the purpose of purchasing the assets and issuing trust certificates. In these transactions, the Company retained investment tranches as well as servicing rights, which are considered available for sale securities. The securitizations are structured so that investors have no recourse to the Company's other assets for failure of debtors to pay when due. The value of the Company's retained interest is subject to credit and interest rate risk on the transferred financial assets. The Company recognized pretax gains of $24.6 million and $4.5 million for its 2003 and 2002 securitization transactions, respectively.

Key economic assumptions used in measuring the retained interest at the date of securitization resulting from securitizations completed during the year ended December 31, 2003 were as follows:

	Class C	Class D	Class E
Prepayment speed	0	0	0

Securities Lending

The Company has a securities lending program operated on its behalf by the Company's two primary custodians, JP Morgan Chase and Citibank, N.A., both located in New York. The custodians have indemnified the Company against losses arising from these programs. At December 31, 2003, the Company had securities out on loan of approximately $80.0 million. There were no securities on loan at December 31, 2002. The income resulting from these programs was $1.4 million, $1.7 million, and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Leveraged Leases

The Company is a lessor in a leverage lease agreement entered into on October 21, 1994, under which equipment having an estimated economic life of 25-40 years was originally leased for a term of 9.78 years. During 2001, the lease term was extended until 2010. The Company's equity investment in this VIE represented 22.9% of the purchase price of the equipment. The balance of the purchase price was furnished by third-party long-term debt financing, collateralized by the equipment, and 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. Leveraged leases are included as a part of other invested assets. The Company's net investment in leveraged leases is composed of the following elements:

	Year ended December 31,

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 counterparty interest rate payments of differing character (e.g., fixed-rate payments exchanged for variable-rate payments) based on an underlying principal balance (notional principal) to 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 counterparty credit risk is the difference in payments exchanged. The fair value of swap agreements are included with derivative instruments (positive position) or other liabilities (negative position) in the accompanying balance sheet.

The Company utilizes put options on the S&P 500 Index to hedge against stock market exposure inherent in the mortality and expense risk charges and guaranteed minimum death benefit features of the Company's variable annuities. The Company also purchases 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 other invested assets in the accompanying balance sheet.

The Company issues annuity contracts and GICS 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 or GIC contract) and is carried at fair value.

From the second quarter in 2000 until the second quarter in 2002, the Company marketed GICS to unrelated third parties. Each deal is highly-individualized but typically involves the issuance of foreign currency denominated contracts backed by cross currency swaps or equity-linked cross currency swaps. The combination of these swaps with interest rate swaps allows the Company to lock in U.S. dollar fixed rate payments for the life of the contract.

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 income (loss) consisted of the following:

	Year Ended December 31
	2003	2002 Restated	2001 Restated
Net expense on swap agreements	$ (87,721)	$ (74,699)	$ (23,493)

Total derivative losses	$ (203,200)	$ (159,285)	$ (10,056)

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, 2003 and 2002, $59.5 million and $114.8 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 table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments:

	Separate accounts	17,509,294	17,509,294	15,700,969	15,700,969

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in determining the estimated fair value of its financial instruments:

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 fair values of short-term bonds are estimated to be amortized cost. The fair values of publicly traded fixed maturities are based upon market prices or dealer quotes. For privately placed fixed maturities, fair values are estimated by taking into account prices for publicly traded securities of similar credit risk, maturity, repayment and liquidity characteristics. The fair value of equity securities are based on quoted market prices.

Mortgage loans: 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.

Derivatives: Fair value 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.

7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

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

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.

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.

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 evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentrations of credit risk. A brief discussion of the Company's reinsurance agreements by segment (see Note 14) follows.

Wealth Management Segment

While the Wealth Management Segment currently does not offer traditional life insurance products, it manages a closed block of single premium whole life insurance policies ("SPWL"), 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 $1.7 billion as of December 31, 2003. On December 31, 2003, this entire block of business was reinsured on a funds withheld basis with SLOC, an affiliated company.

The Company, through its affiliate SLNY, has an agreement with an unrelated company whereby the unrelated company reimburses SLNY for benefits, expenses and interest credits for Focus V and Galaxy V fixed annuities issued in 2000 if the asset pool backing the liability is insufficient.

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, 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.

The Company also acts as the reinsurer of risk under the lapse protection benefit under certain universal life contracts issued by SLOC. One hundred percent of such risk is retroceded to Sun Life Financial Insurance and Annuity Company (Bermuda) Ltd.

Group Protection Segment

The Company, through its affiliate SLNY, has an agreement with SLOC whereby SLOC reinsures the mortality risks of SLNY's group life insurance contracts. Under this agreement, certain death benefits are reinsured on a yearly renewable term basis. The agreement provides that SLOC will reinsure mortality risks in excess of $50,000 per claim for group life contracts ceded by SLNY. The block was closed for new business effective December 31, 2003.

The Company, through its affiliate SLNY, has an agreement with SLOC whereby SLOC reinsures morbidity risks of a block of SLNY's group long-term disability contracts. The block is closed for new business.

The Company, through its affiliate 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 $1,000,000 per claim for stop loss contracts ceded by SLNY.

The Company, through its affiliate 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 effects of reinsurance were as follows:

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

9. RETIREMENT PLANS

Through December 31, 2001, the Company was a participant in a non-contributory defined benefit pension plans for employees sponsored by SLOC. Consistent with the transfer of all employees to the Company on January 1, 2002, the plans sponsorship for the employee retirement plan and the agent pension plan was transferred to the Company. Expenses are allocated to participating companies based on a manner consistent with the allocation of employee compensation expenses. The Company's funding policies for the pension plans are to contribute amounts which at least satisfy the minimum amount required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"); currently the plans are fully-funded. Most pension plan assets consist of separate accounts of SLOC or other insurance company contracts.

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

	Pension Benefits
	2003	2002
Discount rate	6.1%	6.75%
Rate of compensation increase	4.0%	4.0%

9. RETIREMENT PLANS (CONTINUED)

Assumptions (continued)

The Company relies on historical market returns from Ibbotson Associates (1926-2002) to determine its overall long term rate of return on asset assumption. Applying Ibbotson's annualized market returns of 12% stock, 5.8% bonds and 3.8% cash to the Company's target allocation results in an expected return consistent with the one used by the Company for purposes of determining the benefit obligation.

Plan Assets

The asset allocation for the Company's pension plan assets for 2003 and 2002 measurement, and the target allocation for 2004, by asset category, are as follows:

	Target Allocation	Percentage of Plan Assets
Asset Category	2004	2003	2002
Equity Securities	30%-60%	55%	50%
Debt Securities	10%-40%	26%	34%
Commercial Mortgages	10%-25%	15%	15%
Other	5%	4%	1%
Total	-	100%	100%

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 (CPI), and sufficient income or liquidity to pay retirement benefits on a timely basis.

Equity securities include SLF common stock in the amount of $3.0 million and $2.4 million for 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Cash Flow

Due to the over funded status of the defined benefit plan, the Company will not be making contributions to the plan in 2004.

401(k) Savings Plan

The Company sponsors and participates in a 401(k) savings plan for which substantially all employees of at least age 21 are eligible to participate at date of hire. Under the plan, the Company matches, up to specified amounts, the employees' contributions to the plan.

The amount of the 2003 employer contributions under plan sponsorship for the Company and its affiliates was $4.4 million. Amounts are allocated to affiliates based on employees' contributions. The Company's portion of the expense was $885,000, $956,000 and $462,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Other Post-Retirement Benefit Plans

Through December 31, 2001, the Company was a participant in a post-retirement benefit pension plan for employees sponsored by SLOC providing certain health, dental and life insurance benefits ("post-retirement benefits") for retired employees and dependents. Consistent with the transfer of all employees to the Company on January 1, 2002, the plan's sponsorship was transferred to the Company. 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.

The following table sets forth the change in other post-retirement benefit plans' obligations and assets, as well as the plans' funded status at December 31, (in 000's):

Weighted average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations were as follows:

	Other Benefits
	2003	2002
Discount Rate	6.1%	6.75%
Rate of Compensation increase	4.0%	4.0%

Weighted average assumptions used to determine net cost for year-end December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 were as follows:

	Other Benefits
	2003	2002
Discount rate	6.75%	7.0%
Rate of compensation increase	4.0%	4.5%

In order to measure the post-retirement benefit obligation for 2003, the Company assumed a 11% annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits. In addition, medical cost inflation is assumed to be 10% in 2004 and assumed to decrease gradually to 5.5% for 2009 and remain at that level thereafter. Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the health care plans. A one-percentage point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following effect:

	1- Percentage-Point	1- Percentage-Point
	Increase	Decrease
Effect on Post retirement benefit obligation	$6,205	($5,487)
Effect on total of service and interest cost	515	(413)

10. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

The Company makes payments under certain tax sharing agreements as if it were filing as a separate company. The Company received income tax refunds of $17.1 million in 2003, SLUS received refunds of $14.9 million in 2002 and Keyport made income tax payments of $9.9 million in 2002. Additionally, the Company made income tax payments of $10.9 million in 2001. At December 31, 2003, the Company had $146.7 million of net operating loss carry forwards available. These amounts were incurred in 2001, 2002 and 2003 and will expire, if unused, beginning in 2016 and ending in 2018.

The Company's federal income tax returns are routinely audited by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), and provisions are made in the consolidated financial statements in anticipation of the results of these audits. SLUS and Keyport are currently under audit by the IRS for the years 1998 through 2000 and 1999 through October 31, 2001, respectively. In the Company's opinion, adequate tax liabilities have been established for all years and any adjustments that might be required for the years under audit will not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. However, the amounts of these tax liabilities could be revised in the future if estimates of the Company's ultimate liability are revised.

11. LIABILITY FOR UNPAID CLAIMS AND CLAIMS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES

Activity in the liability for unpaid claims and claims adjustment expenses related to the Company's group life, group disability and stop loss products is summarized below:

		2003	2002 - Restated
Balance at January 1		$ 24,294	$ 23,615
Less reinsurance recoverable		(6,621)	(6,078)
Net balance at January 1		17,673	17,537

15. 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. 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's combined statutory surplus and net income (loss) were as follows (in 000's):

	Unaudited for the Years ended December 31,
	2003	2002 Restated	2001 Restated
Statutory surplus and capital	$ 1,654,147	$ 1,335,391	$ 1,509,987

16. DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS

The Company's and its insurance company subsidiaries' ability to pay dividends are subject to certain statutory restrictions. Delaware, New York, and Rhode Island 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) 10% of its statutory surplus as of the preceding December 31, or (ii) the individual company's statutory net gain from operations for the preceding calendar year. 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. On March 19, 2004, the Company's Board of Directors approved $50.0 million of dividends to its parent, SLC (U.S.) Holdings. The Company did not pay any dividends in 2003 or 2002 and paid $15.0 million of dividends to its parent, SLC (U.S.) Holdings, during 2001.

New York law permits a domestic stock life insurance company to distribute a dividend to its shareholders without prior notice to the New York Superintendent of Insurance, where the aggregate amount of such dividend in any calendar year does not exceed the lesser of: (i) ten percent of its surplus to policyholders as of the immediately preceding calendar year; or (ii) its net gain from operations for the immediately preceding calendar year, not including realized capital gains. No dividends were paid by SLNY during 2003, 2002 or 2001.

Rhode Island law requires prior regulatory approval for any dividend where the amount of such dividend paid during the preceding twelve (12) month period would exceed the lesser of (i) 10% of the insurance company's surplus as of the December 31 next preceding, or (ii) its net gain from operations, not including realized capital gains, for the immediately preceding calendar year, excluding pro rata distributions of any class of the insurance company's own securities. No dividends were paid by Independence Life during 2003, 2002 or 2001

18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Regulatory and Industry Developments

Unfavorable economic conditions may contribute to an increase in the number of insurance companies that are under regulatory supervision. This may result in an increase in mandatory assessments by state guaranty funds, or voluntary payments by solvent insurance companies to cover losses to policyholders of insolvent or rehabilitated companies. 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 partially recovered through a reduction in future premium taxes in some states.

The Company's variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies are subject to various levels of regulation under federal securities laws administered by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and under certain state securities laws. On or about October 30, 2003, the Company received a request from the SEC for information regarding its policies, practices and procedures with respect to subaccount "market timing," its policies, practices and procedures with respect to receiving and processing exchange orders from contract owners, and its oversight of such activities in the Company's separate accounts. The Company responded to this request and an additional related request. On March 4, 2004, the Boston District Office of the SEC notified the Company that it intended to commence an examination of the Company and certain of its affiliates pursuant to Section 31(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 relating to these and certain other subjects. The Company is cooperating in the examination.

In addition, the SEC and other regulators have conducted or are conducting investigations and examinations of certain of the Company's affiliates relating to various issues, including market timing and late trading of mutual funds and variable insurance products, directed brokerage, revenue-sharing and other arrangements with distributors.

Litigation

The Company is not aware of any contingent liabilities arising from litigation, income taxes and 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 engagement letters 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. Due to the nature of these indemnification agreements, it is not possible to estimate the Company's potential liability.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

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

Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholder's equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2003. 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such 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, 2003 and 2002, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2003 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 financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

We previously audited and reported on the consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholder's equity, and cash flows of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) and subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2001, prior to the restatement for the 2003 merger of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) and Keyport Life Insurance Company, which was accounted for at historical cost as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 "Business Combinations" for transfers of assets among affiliates (the "2003 Merger"). The contribution of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) to revenues and net income represented $631.3 million and $(12.7) million of the respective restated totals. Separate financial statements of Keyport Life Insurance Company included in the 2001 restated consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholder's equity, and cash flows were audited and reported on separately by other auditors. We also audited the combination of the accompanying consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholder's equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2001, after restatement for the 2003 Merger; in our opinion, such consolidated statements have been properly combined on the basis described in Note 1 of the notes to consolidated financial statements.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective October 1, 2003, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51."

Pro forma Financial Statements

Effective December 31, 2003, Keyport Life Insurance Company ("Keyport"), an affiliate, merged with and into Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) ("Sun Life (U.S.)"). Sun Life (U.S.) is the surviving company (the "Surviving Company").

The Surviving Company will be licensed and authorized to write all the business that was being written by Keyport. Keyport ceased to exist on December 31, 2003 and the Surviving Company will carry on the business of Sun Life (U.S.) along with that previously conducted through Keyport.

The following pro forma balance sheets as of December 31, 2002 and September 30, 2003 as well as the pro forma income statements for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the nine month period ended September 30, 2003 reflect the pro forma financial position and results of operations of the Surviving Company as if the merger had occurred on the date the entities came under common control (November 1, 2001). Since the two companies are affiliates, historical values are used in combining the assets and liabilities, which will not give rise to purchase price accounting adjustments. Certain reclassification adjustments were made to both companies' financial statements in order to conform presentation.

On December 31, 2002 Keyport Benefit Life Insurance Company, an affiliate of Keyport, merged with and into Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York ("SLNY Predecessor"), an affiliate of the Company, with SLNY Predecessor as the surviving company ("SLNY"). For the year ended December 31, 2002, the results of SLNY Predecessor were included with the results of Sun Life (U.S.). Also, the results of SLNY were consolidated with Keyport and a minority interest was established for the portion of ownership attributable to the Sun Life (U.S.) interest. Pro-forma adjustments were necessary to eliminate the duplication of the results of SLNY Predecessor for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the minority interest attributed to SLNY for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the nine months ended September 30, 2003.

For the year ended December 31, 2002 and the nine month period ended September 30, 2003 pro forma adjustments were also necessary to reflect the cancellation of the common stock of Keyport and to eliminate inter-company transactions.

As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, in 2001, the Company changed its method of accounting for its derivatives.

1. Change of Control

Through October 31, 2001, Keyport Life Insurance Company ("the Company") was a wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty Financial Companies, Incorporated ("LFC"), which is a majority-owned, indirect subsidiary of Liberty Mutual Insurance Company ("Liberty Mutual").

On May 3, 2001, LFC announced that it had reached a definitive agreement to sell its annuity and bank marketing businesses to Sun Life Financial Services of Canada Inc. ("SLF"), a Canadian holding company and parent of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada ("SLOC"). The transaction was subject to customary conditions to closing, including receipt of approvals by various state insurance regulators in the U.S., certain other regulatory authorities in the U.S. and Canada and LFC's shareholders.

Effective after the close of business on October 31, 2001, all required approvals had been obtained and SLF Holdings, acquired the Company for approximately $1.7 billion in cash. As part of the acquisition, SLF Holdings, another indirect subsidiary of SLOC, acquired Independent Financial Marketing Group, Inc. ("IFMG"), an affiliate of the Company ($20 million of the total purchase price was allocated to IFMG). The acquisition of the Company and IFMG complements both SLF's product array and distribution capabilities and advances SLF towards its strategic goal of reaching a top 10 position in target product markets in North America. SLF also expects to reduce costs through economies of scale.

The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141 "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". Under the purchase method of accounting, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at estimated fair value at the date of acquisition.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of November 1, 2001 (in thousands):

Assets:
Fixed-maturity securities	$     10,609,150
Equity securities	35,313
Mortgage loans	7,216
Policy loans	631,916
Value of business acquired	105,400
Goodwill	714,755
Intangible assets	12,100
Deferred taxes	217,633
Other invested assets	363,586
Cash and cash equivalents	1,846,887
Other assets acquired	465,152
Separate account assets	3,941,527
Total assets acquired	18,950,635
Liabilities:
Policy liabilities	12,052,071
Other liabilities	1,262,045
Separate accounts	3,930,042
Total liabilities assumed	17,244,158
Net assets acquired	$      1,706,477

In 2002, the Company completed its valuation of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The revisions decreased goodwill by $9.6 million, decreased deferred taxes by $54.9 million, increased policy liabilities by $13.0 million, increased other liabilities by $13.7 million and reduced investments and other assets by $12.8 million and $5.8 million, respectively.

Intangible assets acquired primarily consist of state insurance licenses ($10.1 million) that are not subject to amortization. The remaining $2.0 million of intangible assets relate to product rights that have a weighted-average useful life of 7 years. Most of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

As a result of the acquisition, the financial statements for the period subsequent to the acquisition are presented on a different basis of accounting than those for the periods prior to the acquisition and, therefore, are not directly comparable. For periods prior to the date of the acquisition, the balances are referred to as "Predecessor Basis."

2. Accounting Policies

Organization

The Company offers a diversified line of fixed, indexed and variable annuity products designed to serve the growing retirement savings market. These annuity products are sold through a wide-ranging network of banks, agents and security dealers throughout the United States.

2. Accounting Policies (continued)

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Independence Life and Annuity Company ("Independence Life"), Keyport Benefit Life Insurance Company ("KBL") (through December 31, 2002), Liberty Advisory Services Corp. (through October 31, 2001) and Keyport Financial Services Corp. ("KFSC"). On October 31, 2001, the Company transferred its ownership interest in Liberty Advisory Service Corp., through a dividend, to LFC.

On December 31, 2002 the Company transferred its ownership interest in KBL for a 67% interest in Sun Life of New York ("SLNY"). SLNY and the Company are under common control. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) require that the financial statements reflect such transaction to the earliest year presented or to the date the entities became under common control (November 1, 2001). Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements of the Company at December 31, 2001 and the two months then ended reflect the inclusion of SLNY in a manner similar to a pooling of interest. Minority interest has been established for a portion of the earnings not attributable to Keyport's 67% ownership. The restatement increased the Company's assets by $518.9 million and $619.2 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Net income was increased by $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 and decreased by $83,000 for the two-month period ended December 31, 2001.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), which vary in certain respects from reporting practices prescribed or permitted by state insurance regulatory authorities. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investments

Investments in debt and equity securities classified as available for sale are carried at fair value, and after tax unrealized gains and losses (net of adjustments to deferred acquisition costs ("DAC") and value of business acquired ("VOBA")) are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The cost basis of securities is adjusted for declines in value that are determined to be other-than-temporary. Realized investment gains and losses are calculated on a first-in, first-out basis, net of adjustments for amortization of DAC and value of business acquired.

For the mortgage-backed bond portion of the fixed-maturity investment portfolio, the Company recognizes income using a constant effective yield based on anticipated prepayments over the estimated economic life of the security. When actual prepayments differ significantly from anticipated prepayments, the effective yield is recalculated to reflect actual payments to date and anticipated future payments, and any resulting adjustment is included in net investment income.

Mortgage loans are carried at amortized cost. Policy loans are carried at the unpaid principal balances plus accrued interestand do not exceed the net cash surrender value of the related insurance policy.

2. Accounting Policies (continued)

Investments in private equity limited partnerships, which are included in other invested assets, are accounted for on either the cost method or equity method. The equity method of accounting is used for all partnerships in which the Company has an ownership interest in excess of 3%.

The net change in unrealized and undistributed gains in private equity limited partnerships primarily represents increases (decreases) in the fair value of the underlying investments of the private equity limited partnerships that are accounted for under the equity method. The net change is recorded net of the related amortization of value of business acquired and of DAC, and net of the amounts realized, which are recognized in investment income. The financial information for these investments is obtained directly from the private equity limited partnerships on a periodic basis. There can be no assurance that any unrealized and undistributed gains (losses) will ultimately be realized or that the Company will not incur losses in the future on such investments.

The following amount represents the net change in unrealized and undistributed (losses) gains in private equity limited partnerships:

	Year Ended December 31, 2002	For the 2 month period ended December 31, 2001	For the 10 month period ended October 31, 2001	Year Ended December 31, 2000
Gross (loss) gain	$ (8,924)	-	$ (14,688)	$ 103,604
Net reclassification into net
investment income	-	-	(34,100)	(13,300)
	(8,924)	-	(48,788)	90,304
Less:
DAC & VOBA Amortization	(1,333)	-	(31,700)	58,700
	$ (7,591)	-	$ (17,088)	$ 31,604

Fee Income

Fees from investment advisory services are recognized as revenues when services are provided. Revenues from fixed and variable annuities and single-premium whole life policies include mortality charges, surrender charges, policy fees, and contract fees and are recognized when earned.

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs (DAC)

DAC relates to the costs of acquiring new business, which vary with, and are primarily related to, the production of new annuity business. Such acquisition costs include commissions, costs of policy issuance, and underwriting and selling expenses. These costs are deferred and amortized with interest in relation to the present value of estimated gross profits from mortality; investment spread and expense margins over the estimated lives of the contracts. This amortization is reviewed annually and adjusted retrospectively when the Company revises its estimate of current or future gross profits to be realized, including realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments.

DAC is adjusted for amounts relating to unrealized gains and losses on available for sale fixed-maturity securities. This adjustment, net of tax, is included with the change in net unrealized investment gains or losses that is credited or charged directly to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The impact of this adjustment on DAC was to (decrease) increase it by ($20.2) million and $0.6 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, relating to this adjustment.

Although realization of DAC is not assured, the Company believes it is more likely than not that all of these costs will be realized. The amount of DAC considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if the estimates of gross profits or total revenues discussed above are reduced. The amount of amortization of DAC could be revised in the near term if any of the estimates discussed above are revised.

2. Accounting Policies (continued)

Value of Business Acquired

The value of business acquired represents the actuarial-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 over the estimated lives of the contracts.

The value of business acquired is adjusted for amounts relating to the recognition of unrealized investment gains and losses. This adjustment, net of tax, is included with the change in net unrealized investment gains or losses that is credited or charged directly to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Value of business acquired was ($27.3) million and $0.6 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, relating to this adjustment.

Estimated future net amortization expense of the value of business acquired as of December 31, 2002 is as follows (in thousands):

2003	$10,961
2004	9,701
2005	8,395
2006	6,991
2007	5,586
Thereafter	16,058
Total	$57,692

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price paid and the fair value of the net assets acquired in connection with the acquisition of the Company. In accordance with SFAS 142, the Company has completed the required impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and concluded that these assets are not impaired. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis using the discounted cash flow method.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of state insurance licenses of $10.1 million that are not subject to amortization and $2.0 million of product rights that have a weighted-average useful life of 7 years.

Separate Account Assets and Liabilities

The assets and liabilities resulting from variable annuities and variable life policies are segregated in separate accounts. Separate account assets consist principally of investments in mutual funds are carried at fair value. Investment income and changes in mutual fund asset values are allocated to the policyholders and, therefore, do not affect the operating results of the Company. The Company earns separate account fees for providing administrative services and bearing the mortality risk related to these contracts. The difference between investment income and interest credited on the institutional accounts was reported as separate account fee income through October 31, 2001. Effective November 1, 2001, the separate institutional accounts were classified as general account assets. Investment income and interest credited were reported as components of net investment income and interest credited, respectively.

As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company also classified $17.1 million and $28.3 million, respectively, of investments in certain mutual funds sponsored by former affiliates of the Company as separate account assets.

2. Accounting Policies (continued)

Policy liabilities

Policy liabilities consist of deposits received plus credited interest, less accumulated policyholder charges, assessments, and withdrawals related to deferred annuities and single-premium whole life policies. Policy benefits that are charged to expense include benefit claims incurred in the period in excess of related policy account balances.

Future contract and policy benefits

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

Income Taxes

Income taxes have been provided using the liability method in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."

In 2002, as in prior years, the Company will file a consolidated federal income tax return with its life insurance subsidiaries, Independence Life and KBL stand-alone. Because of KBL's merger into SLNY, starting in 2003 Keyport and Independence Life will file a consolidated federal income tax return, and SLNY will file on a standalone basis. KFSC also files a standalone federal income tax return. The Company and its subsidiaries will be eligible to file a consolidated return with Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada - U.S. Operations Holdings, Inc. ("US Holdco") beginning in 2006. US Holdco is a member of the Sun Life Financial Group Insurance Holding Company system and is an indirect subsidiary of SLOC.

The Company and its life insurance subsidiaries have a tax-sharing agreement that allocates income taxes to the Company and its subsidiaries as if each entity were to file separate income tax returns. Tax benefits resulting from losses are paid to the extent such losses are utilized in the consolidated income tax return. Effective December 21, 2002, KBL (as part of SLNY) is no longer included in this tax sharing agreement. KFSC also had a tax-sharing agreement (through October 31, 2001) with the same terms as those outlined above.

Cash Equivalents

Short-term investments having a maturity of three months or less when purchased are classified as cash equivalents.

Reclassifications

Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2001 presentation.

Restatement

On December 31, 2002, the Company acquired a 67% interest in SLNY, an affiliated company, in exchange for its interest in its wholly owned subsidiary, KBL. SLNY was merged with KBL on December 31, 2002 and SLNY was the surviving entity. SLNY and Keyport are under common control. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) indicate that the financials should be restated to the earliest year presented or to the date the entities became under common control (November 1, 2001). The financial condition and results of SLNY are included in the accompanying financial statements from November 1, 2001.

3. Accounting Changes

The cumulative effect of accounting changes, net of tax, for the ten-month period ended October 31, 2001 of $60.8 million includes a loss of $54.3 million relating to the adoption of SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", and SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities - an amendment of SFAS No. 133" (collectively hereafter referred to as the "Statement") in the quarter ended March 31, 2001 and a loss of $6.5 million relating to the adoption of Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 99-20, "Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets" in the quarter ended June 30, 2001.

The Company adopted the Statement on January 1, 2001. The Statement requires the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives will either be offset by the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value will be immediately recognized in operations.

The cumulative effect, reported after tax and net of related effects on DAC, upon adoption of the Statement at January 1, 2001 decreased net income and stockholder's equity by $54.3 million. The adoption of the Statement may increase volatility in future reported income due, among other reasons, to the requirements of defining an effective hedging relationship under the Statement as opposed to certain hedges the Company believes are effective economic hedges. The Company anticipates that it will continue to utilize its current risk management philosophy, which includes the use of derivative instruments.

The Company adopted EITF Issue No. 99-20 on April 1, 2001. EITF Issue 99-20 governs the method of recognizing interest income and impairment on asset-backed investment securities. EITF Issue No. 99-20 requires the Company to update the estimate of cash flows over the life of certain retained beneficial interests in securitization transactions and purchased beneficial interests in securitized financial assets. Pursuant to EITF Issue No. 99-20, based on current information and events, if the Company estimates that the fair value of its beneficial interests is not greater than or equal to its carrying value and if there has been a decrease in the estimated cash flows since the last revised estimate, considering both timing and amount, then an other-than-temporary impairment should be recognized. The cumulative effect, reported after tax and net of related effects on DAC, upon adoption of EITF Issue No. 99-20 on April 1, 2001 decreased net income by $6.5 million with a related increase to accumulated other comprehensive income of $1.8 million.

In September 2001, the EITF discussed Issue No. 01-10 "Accounting for the Impact of the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001" which gives accounting guidance and recommended disclosures. Following this guidance, the Company has reviewed its insurance contracts to quantify potential losses, if any, as a result of the tragedy and has determined that there were no material claims exposure to the Company. The national tragedy of September 11, 2001 has also had an adverse impact on the airline, hotel and hospitality businesses. The Company has investments associated with these industries. As of December 31, 2002, the Company recorded a $4.5 million write-down of its airline industry investments for "other-than-temporary declines" due to the decrease in market value. The Company will continue to monitor these investments to determine if any further adjustments are necessary.

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others ("FIN 45")." FIN 45 requires entities to establish liabilities for certain types of guarantees, and expands financial statement disclosures for others. This interpretation has no impact for Keyport.

3. Accounting Changes (continued)

In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities. This interpretation states that if a business enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities, and results of the activities of the variable interest entity should be included in consolidated financial statements with those of the business enterprise. This interpretation has no impact for Keyport as Keyport does not maintain any involvement with variable interest entities.

In July 2002, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") issued a proposed Statement of Position ("SOP"), "Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Long-Duration Contracts and for Separate Accounts." This SOP provides guidance on accounting and reporting by insurance enterprises for certain nontraditional long-duration contracts and for separate accounts. The Company is in the process of evaluating the provisions of this SOP and its impact to the Company's financial position or results of operations.

4. Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities

All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. On the date the derivative contract is entered into, the Company designates the derivative as either (1) a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset ("fair value hedge") or (2) utilizes the derivative as an economic hedge ("non-designated derivative"). Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is highly effective and is designated and qualifies as a fair value hedge, along with the loss or gain on the hedged asset attributable to the hedged risk, are recorded in current period operations as a component of net derivative gains. Changes in the fair value of non-designated derivatives are reported in current period operations as a component of net derivative gains.

The Company issues equity-indexed 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), is carried at fair value, and is considered a non-designated derivative.

The Company purchases call options and futures on the S&P 500 Index to economically hedge its obligation under the annuity contract to provide returns based upon this index. The call options and futures are non-designated derivatives. In addition, the Company utilizes non-designated total return swap agreements to hedge certain contract obligations.

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 counterparty interest rate payments of differing character (e.g., fixed-rate payments exchanged for variable-rate payments) based on an underlying principal balance (notional principal) to hedge against interest rate changes. Prior to October 31, 2001, the interest rate swap agreements were designated and qualified as fair value hedges. The ineffective portion of the fair value hedges, net of related effects on DAC, resulted in a loss of $2.6 million for the ten-month period ended October 31, 2001.

The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedging transactions. This process included linking all fair value hedges to specific assets on the balance sheet. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge's inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values. When it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge or that it has ceased to be a highly effective hedge, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively.

4. Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities (continued)

When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is determined that the derivative no longer qualifies as an effective fair value hedge, the derivative will continue to be carried on the balance sheet at its fair value and changes in fair value will be reported in operations. The subsequent fair value changes in the hedged asset will no longer be reported in current period operations.

Effective November 1, 2001, in conformity with SLOC accounting policies, the Company discontinued hedge accounting and classified its interest rate swap agreements as non-designated derivatives. The Company believes that these derivatives provide economic hedges and the cost of formally documenting the effectiveness of the fair value of the hedged assets in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 133 was not justified. The decrease in the swap values, net of related effects on the value of business acquired, resulted in a (loss) income of $(113.7) million and $64.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 and for the two month period ended December 31, 2001, respectively. The change in values of the call options, futures, and the embedded derivative, net of related effects on the value of business acquired and DAC, (decreased) increased income by $(9.7) million and $35.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 and for the two month period ended December 31, 2001, respectively.

Outstanding derivatives, shown in notional amounts along with their carrying value and fair value, are as follows (in thousands):

			Assets /(Liabilities)
	Notional Amounts		Carrying Value	Fair Value
		12/31/2002	12/31/2002	12/31/2002

Total return swaps	1,035,438	42,171	42,171
S&P 500 Index call options	-	56,125	56,125

The interest rate and total return swap agreements expire in 2003 through 2017. The S&P 500 call options and futures maturities range from 2003 to 2009.

At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company had approximately $96.9 million and $92.5 million, respectively, of unamortized premium in call option contracts.

Fair values for swap and cap agreements are based on current settlement values. The current settlement values are based on quoted market prices and brokerage quotes, which utilize pricing models or formulas using current assumptions. Fair values for call options and futures contracts are based on quoted market prices.

There are risks associated with some of the techniques the Company uses to match its assets and liabilities. The primary risk associated with swap, cap and call option agreements is the risk associated with counterparty nonperformance. The Company believes that the counterparties to its swap, cap and call option agreements are financially responsible and that the counterparty risk associated with these transactions is minimal. Futures contracts trade on organized exchanges and, therefore, have minimal credit risk.

Mortgage loans

The Company invests in commercial first mortgage loans throughout the United States. Investments are diversified by property type and geographic area. Mortgage loans are collateralized by the related properties and generally are no more than 70% of the properties' value at the time that the original loan is made. The carrying value of mortgage loans was $169.6 million and $31.1 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

The Company monitors the condition of the mortgage loans in its portfolio. In those cases where mortgages have been restructured, appropriate allowances for losses have been made. In those cases where, in management's judgement, the mortgage loan's value has been impaired, appropriate losses are recorded. The company had no restructured or impaired mortgage loans at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The allowances for losses at December 31, 2002 were $81,000.

6. Reinsurance

The Company's subsidiary, SLNY, has an agreement with SLOC whereby SLOC reinsures the mortality risks of the group life insurance contracts. Under this agreement, certain death benefits are reinsured on a yearly renewable term basis. The agreement provides that SLOC will reinsure the mortality risks in excess of $50,000 per claim for group life contracts ceded by SLNY.

SLNY has an agreement with an unrelated company whereby the unrelated company reinsures the morbidity risks of the group long-term disability contracts. Under this agreement, certain long-term disability benefits are reinsured on a yearly renewable term basis. The agreement provides that the unrelated company will reinsure amounts above $4,000 per claim per month for long-term disability contracts ceded by SLNY.

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

As part of the Stock Purchase Agreement between SLF and LFC, LFC was obligated to reimburse the Company for any federal, state or local taxes arising from certain tax elections under Section 338(h) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. LFC had given notice to the Company of certain objections it had with the calculation of these taxes. The amount in dispute was approximately $27 million. This dispute has been resolved and the recoverable amount was not adjusted.

8. Retirement Plans

As a result of the acquisition of the Company by SLF Holdings, the LFC Pension Plan was terminated effective November 1, 2001. Effective January 2002, essentially all United States employees of the Company became employees of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) ("SLUS"). The employees of the Company were eligible to participate in a plan sponsored by SLUS when they achieved 1,000 hours of service. The gain or loss on the termination of the Plan did not have any effect on the Company's financial statements as LFC was responsible for such gain or loss.

Prior to the acquisition by SLF Holdings, the Company's employees and certain employees of LFC were eligible to participate in the LFC Pension Plan (the "Plan"). It was the Company's practice to fund amounts for the Plan sufficient to meet the minimum requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Additional amounts were contributed from time to time when deemed appropriate by the Company. Under the Plan, all employees were vested after five years of service. Benefits were based on years of service, the employee's average pay for the highest five consecutive years during the last ten years of employment and the employee's estimated social security retirement benefit. The Company also had an unfunded nonqualified Supplemental Pension Plan ("Supplemental Plan") collectively with the Plan (the "Plans") to replace benefits lost due to limits imposed on Plan benefits under the Internal Revenue Code. Plan assets consisted principally of investments in certain mutual funds sponsored by an affiliated company.

Pension cost related to the LFC Pension Plan is as follows (in thousands):

	10 months ended	Year Ended December 31,
	10/31/2001	2000
Pension cost consists of:
Service cost benefits earned during the period	$    706	$    734
Interest cost on projected benefit obligation	1,046	1,184
Expected return on Plan assets	(719)	(829)
Net amortization and deferred amounts	11	18
Total net periodic pension cost	$ 1,044	$ 1,107

The assumptions used to develop the accrued pension obligation and pension cost are as follows:

	2001	2000
Discount rate	7.75%	7.75%
Rate of increase in compensation level	4.50	4.50
Expected long-term rate of return on assets	9.00	9.00

The Company provides various other funded and unfunded defined contribution plans, which include savings and investment plans and supplemental savings plans (under LFC through October 31, 2001 and SLOC thereafter). Expenses related to these defined contribution plans totaled $0.8 million, and $0.9 million for the ten-month period ended October 31, 2001 and the year ended December 31, 2000, respectively.

9. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following discussion outlines the methodologies and assumptions used to determine the estimated fair value of the Company's financial instruments. The aggregate fair-value amounts presented herein do not necessarily represent the underlying value of the Company, and, accordingly, 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 estimated fair value of financial instruments:

Fixed maturities and equity securities: Fair values for fixed-maturity securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. For fixed maturities not actively traded, the fair values are determined using values from independent pricing services, or, in the case of private placements, are determined by discounting expected future cash flows using a current market rate applicable to the yield, credit quality and maturity of the securities. The fair values for equity securities are based on quoted market prices.

Mortgage loans: The fair value of mortgage loans is determined by discounting future cash flows to the present at current market rates, using expected prepayment rates.

Policy loans: The carrying value of policy loans approximates fair value.

Other invested assets: The carrying value of private equity limited partnerships and all other assets classified as other invested assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet approximate their fair value. Fair values for call options are based on market prices quoted by the counterparty to the respective call option contract.

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.

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 includes surrender charges.

Policy liabilities: Deferred annuity contracts are assigned fair value equal to current net surrender value. Annuitized contracts are valued based on the present value of the future cash flows at current pricing rates.

11. Statutory Information

The Company's primary insurance company, Keyport Life Insurance Company, is domiciled in the State of Rhode Island and prepares its statutory financial statements in accordance with accounting principles and practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Rhode Island Insurance Department. Statutory surplus and capital and statutory net (loss) income differ from stockholder's equity and net income reported in accordance with GAAP primarily because policy acquisition costs are expensed when incurred, policy liabilities are based on different assumptions and income tax expense reflects only taxes paid or currently payable. The Company's statutory surplus and net (loss) are as follows (in thousands):

	Year ended December 31,
	2002	2001	2000
Statutory surplus and capital	$ 533,613	$ 571,051	$ 805,235
Statutory net (loss)	(89,926)	(136,238)	(5,877)

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

11. Statutory Information (continued)

Accounting changes adopted to conform to the provisions of the NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures manual, version effective January 1, 2001, are reported as changes in accounting principles for statutory purposes. As a result of these changes, the Company reported an adjustment on a statutory basis that decreased unassigned surplus by $17.4 million as of January 1, 2001, which was primarily due to deferred tax assets and liabilities established as of that date.

The Company's ability to pay dividends is subject to certain restrictions. Current Rhode Island insurance law permits the payment of dividends or distributions from the Company to its parent, which, together with dividends and distributions paid during the preceding 12 months, do not exceed the lesser of (i) 10% of statutory surplus as of the preceding December 31 or (ii) the net gain from operations for the preceding fiscal year. Any proposed dividend in excess of this amount is called an "extraordinary dividend" and may not be paid until it is approved by the Commissioner of Insurance of the State of Rhode Island. The Company paid $0.1 million and $10.0 million in dividends to LFC in 2001 and 2000, respectively. In connection with the SLOC acquisition, the Company will not be allowed to make any dividend payments for a period of 18 months (May 1, 2003) without the prior approval of the Rhode Island Insurance Department. Subsequent to the 18 month period, the amounts of dividends that the Company will be able to pay will be based upon current Rhode Island insurance law.

12. Transactions with Affiliated Companies

The Company reimbursed SLOC and LFC (prior to November 1, 2001) and certain affiliates for expenses incurred on its behalf for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2000 and for the ten-month period ended October 31, 2001. These reimbursements included corporate, general and administrative expenses, corporate overhead, such as executive and legal support, employee benefits, and investment management services. The total amounts reimbursed were $66.1 million, $6.1 million, and $7.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, the ten-month period ended October 31, 2001 and the year ended December 31, 2000, respectively. In addition, certain affiliated companies distribute the Company's products and were paid $84.2 million, $47.1 million and $39.4 million by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2002, the ten-month period ended October 31, 2001 and the year ended December 31, 2000, respectively.

On July 25, 2002, the Company issued a $380,000,000 promissory note at 5.76% to an affiliate, Sun Life (Hungary) Group Financing Limited Liability Company, which matures on June 30, 2012. The Company will pay interest semi-annually beginning December 31, 2002. The proceeds of the note were used to purchase fixed rate corporate and government bonds.

On December 31, 2002, Keyport Benefit Life Insurance Company ("KBL"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, merged with and into Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York ("SLNY"), an affiliate. Keyport and its subsidiaries, including KBL, were purchased on October 31, 2001 by Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Holding, Inc., an upstream parent of SLNY. On December 31, 2002, prior to the completion of the merger, the Company contributed capital in the amount of $30.15 million to KBL. Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) ("Sun Life (U.S.)"), the parent of SLNY, contributed capital totaling $14.85 million to SLNY. These contributions were approved by the respective boards of directors in anticipation of the merger transaction. As a result of the merger, Sun Life (U.S.) continued to hold 2,000 shares of SLNY's common stock; however, the par value of the common stock was converted to $350 per share. In exchange for its investment in KBL, SLNY issued the Company 4,001 shares of its common stock valued at $350 per share. As a result of the share issuance and changes in par value, Sun Life (U.S.) ownership percentage of SLNY became 33%, with the Company holding the remaining 67%.

There were no material related party transactions during the two months ended December 31, 2001.

In the opinion of management, provisions made for potential losses are adequate, and the resolution of any such litigation is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or its results of operations.

Regulatory Matters

Under existing guaranty fund laws in all states, insurers licensed to do business in those states can be assessed for certain obligations of insolvent insurance companies to policyholders and claimants. The actual amount of such assessments will depend upon the final outcome of rehabilitation proceedings and will be paid over several years.

Investments

The Company has extended commitments to fund additional investments in private equity limited partnerships of $145.2 million.

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

None of the companies listed in such Exhibit 14 is a subsidiary of the Registrant; therefore, the only financial statements being filed are those of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.)

<R>

     The chart for the affiliations of the Depositor is incorporated by reference to the Registration Statement on Form N-4 (File No. 333-114126) filed on or about December 31, 2003.

Item 28. Indemnification.

     Pursuant to Section 145 of the Delaware Corporation Law, Article 8 of the By-laws of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) ("Sun Life (U.S.)"), as amended effective as of January 1, 2000 (a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 6(b) to Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registrant's Registration Statement on Form N-4, File No. 333-30844) provides for the indemnification of directors, officers and employees of Sun Life (U.S.). Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Sun Life (U.S.) pursuant to the certificate of incorporation, by-laws, or otherwise, Sun Life (U.S.) has bee 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, or 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 bee settled by controlling precedent, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
