Item 26. PERSONS CONTROLLED BY OR UNDER COMMON CONTROL WITH THE DEPOSITOR OR REGISTRANT

No person is directly or indirectly controlled by the Registrant. The Registrant is a separate account of Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) which is ultimately controlled by Sun Life Financial Inc.

The organization chart of Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York is filed as Exhibit 13 to Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement of Keyport Variable Account A, File No. 333-114126, filed February 25, 2005.

None of the companies listed is a subsidiary of the Registrant, therefore the only financial statements being filed are those of Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York.

Item 27. NUMBER OF CONTRACT OWNERS

As of October 5, 2005 there were 11 qualified and 53 non-qualified Contracts issued and outstanding.

Item 28. INDEMNIFICATION

Article 5, Section 5.6 of the By-laws of Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit A.(6)(b) to the Registration Statement of the Registrant on Form N-8B-2 (File No. 811-4440), provides for indemnification of directors, officers and employees of Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York.

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York pursuant to the certificate of incorporation, by-laws, or otherwise, Sun Life (N.Y.) has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Sun Life (N.Y.) of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of Sun Life (N.Y.) 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 (N.Y.) will, unless in the opinion of their counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by them is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 29. PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITERS

(a) Clarendon Insurance Agency, Inc., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.), acts as general distributor for the Registrant, Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Variable Accounts C, D, E, F, G, H and I, Keyport Variable Account A, KMA Variable Account, Keyport Variable Account I, KBL Variable Account A, KBL Variable Annuity Account, Sun Life (N.Y.) Variable Accounts A, B and D and Money Market Variable Account, High Yield Variable Account, Capital Appreciation Variable Account, Government Securities Variable Account, World Governments Variable Account, Total Return Variable Account and Managed Sectors Variable Account.

The Registrant is relying on the no-action letter issued by the Division of Investment Management of the Securities and Exchange Commission to American Council of Life Insurance, Ref. No. IP-6-88, dated November 28, 1988, the requirements for which have been complied with by the Registrant.
