Risk/Benefit Summary of Policy

Use of Policy

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

Right to Return Period

You may return the Policy within 10 days beginning when You receive the Policy and receive a refund equal to the greater of premiums paid and premiums paid plus money market return.

Premium Payments

Generally, You must make an initial minimum premium payment that will sustain the Policy for three months from its Issue Date.  You choose the amount and timing of subsequent premium payments, within certain limits.  We allocate your net premium payments among the Policy's Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account according to your instructions.

CONTRACT BENEFITS

Account Value

The Account Value equals

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

Accessing Your Account Value

Cash Surrender Value is

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

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

You may make a partial surrender of only a portion of the Cash Surrender Value once per year after the Policy has been in force for one year.  The amount of any partial surrender may not exceed the Account Value minus any outstanding Policy Debt.  Reducing the Cash Surrender Value with a partial surrender may increase the risk of Policy lapse.

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

 
 

 


Death Benefit Compliance Test

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

 
-
the Guideline Premium Test, or
     
 
-
the Cash Value Accumulation Test.
     
-
You choose the applicable test.  You may not change your election.
   
-
Please see the Death Benefit Compliance Test paragraph in the About the Policy section of the prospectus for the Guideline Premium Test and Cash Value Accumulation Test definitions.

Death Benefit

Specified Face Amountis the minimum amount of life insurance in the Policy.  Supplemental Insurance Face Amount is the amount of supplemental life insurance You elect.

-
You have a choice of three death benefit options-
   
 
-
the Specified Face Amount (Option A); or
     
 
-
the Specified Face Amount plus your Gross Cash Surrender Value (Option B); or
     
 
-
the Specified Face Amount plus cumulative premiums paid (Option C).

-
You may change your death benefit option on any Policy Anniversary, subject to our underwriting rules then in effect.
   
-
At any time, You may-
   
 
-
increase the Specified Face Amount or Supplemental Insurance Face Amount, subject to satisfactory evidence of the Insured’s insurability; or
     
 
-
decrease the Specified Face Amount or Supplemental Insurance Face Amount to a level not less than the minimum specified in the Policy.

Investment Options

-
You may allocate your net premium payments among the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account.
   
-
You may transfer amounts from one Sub-Account to another or to the Fixed Account, subject to any limits that we or the Funds may impose.
   
-
You may transfer amounts from the Fixed Account, subject to our transfer rules in effect at time of transfer.

Reinstatement

If the Policy terminates due to insufficient value, we will reinstate it within three years at your request, subject to certain conditions.

CONTRACT RISKS

The Variable Account

-
The assets attributable to the Policies are held in a variable separate account (the "Variable Account").
   
-
The assets of the Variable Account are free from our general creditor's claims.
   
-
The Variable Account is divided into Sub-Accounts.
   
-
Each Sub-Account invests exclusively in shares of a corresponding mutual fund.
   
-
When You choose Sub-Accounts in the Variable Account, your benefits will fluctuate because the benefits reflect the impact of certain economic conditions on the mutual funds underlying the Sub-Accounts You have elected.  These conditions include, but are not limited to

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

-
With such Sub-Accounts, You assume all investment risk.  Investment risk is the risk of poor investment performance. Poor investment performance can result in a loss of all or some of your investment.
   
-
A comprehensive discussion of the risks of such Sub-Accounts may be found in the underlying Fund's prospectus.
   
-
It is unsuitable to purchase a life insurance policy as a short-term savings vehicle.  This Policy is unsuitable if You plan to surrender it to meet short-term needs because the Premium Expense Loads are higher in the early Policy Years.  “Premium Expense Loads” are charges imposed on the premium at the time the Company receives it.  The Loads consist of an element to cover State and Federal tax obligations and an element to cover costs of issuing and selling the Policy.  See the fee tables following the Risk/Benefit Summary for the Loads and also a detailed description in the Charges, Deductions and Refunds section within the prospectus.  Cost of insurance and other insurance-related charges are appropriate to a life insurance policy but not to a short-term savings vehicle.
-     Partial surrenders may only occur annually after Policy Year 1 and may not exceed the Account Value minus       any outstanding Policy Debt.

What if Charges and Deductions Exceed Account Value less Policy Debt?
 
Your Policy may terminate if your Account Value less Policy Debt is insufficient to pay all charges and deductions then due.  If this occurs, we will send You written notice and allow You a 61day grace period.  If You do not make a premium payment within the grace period sufficient to cover all charges and deductions due, the Policy will terminate at the end of the grace period.

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

 
 

 

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

8The monthly maximum charge is the charge for an Insured male, Issue Age 55, benefit payable to age 70.  The monthly minimum charge is the charge for an Insured male, Issue Age 20, benefit payable to age 65.  Charges vary based on the Insured's Issue Age, sex and duration of payment option.  Disability rates for males are lower than females at younger ages and much higher for males than females at older ages.  The use of rates for males provides an appropriate range of rates.




 
 

 

About Who We Are

We are a stock life insurance company incorporated under the laws of New York on May 25, 1983.  Our Home Office is located at 60 East 42nd Street, Suite 1115, New York, New York 10165.  We are ultimately controlled by Sun Life Financial Inc. ("Sun Life Financial").  Sun Life Financial, a corporation organized in Canada, is a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with common shares listed on the Toronto, New York and Philippine stock exchanges.

The Variable Account

We established Sun Life (N.Y.) Variable Account D on April 24, 2003, pursuant to a resolution of our Board of Directors.  The Variable Account may also be used to fund benefits payable under other life insurance policies issued by us.  We are obligated to pay all benefits payable under the Policy.

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

We will at all times maintain assets in the Variable Account with a total market value at least equal to the reserves and other liabilities relating to the variable benefits under all policies participating in the Variable Account and the Variable Account is fully funded for the purpose of Federal securities laws.  The assets of the Variable Account are insulated from our general liabilities and may not be charged with our liabilities from our other business.  Our obligations for the fixed account allocations and death benefits payable under the Policy are, however, our general corporate obligations.

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

The Variable Account may be deregistered if registration is no longer required under applicable Federal securities laws.  We may continue, at our election, to operate the Variable Account as a unit investment trust or other form of investment company.  All determinations will be made by our Board of Directors.  In the event of any change in the registration status of the Variable Account, we will notify all policyholders and any regulatory authorities requiring notice of such change.  We may amend the Policy to reflect the change and take such other action as may be necessary and appropriate to effect the change.

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

The Funds

The Policy offers several mutual fund options shown on page 1.  More comprehensive information, including a discussion of potential risks, is found in the current prospectuses for the Funds (the “Fund Prospectuses”).  You should read the Fund Prospectuses, which may be obtained by calling 1-800-468-9890, before investing.

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

Because they are assessed at the Fund level, You will indirectly bear the fees and expenses of the Funds You select.  The table presented earlier in this prospectus shows the range of fees and expenses paid by the Funds on the average daily net asset value of each Fund.  These fees and expenses are more fully described in the Fund Prospectuses.

 
 

 

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

Our General Account

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

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

An allocation of premium to the Fixed Account does not entitle You to share in the investment experience of our general account.  Instead, we guarantee that your Fixed Account allocation will accrue interest daily at an effective annual rate of at least 3%, without regard to the actual investment experience of our general account.  Interest in excess of the guaranteed rate may be applied to the amount in the Fixed Account at such increased rates and in such a manner as we may determine, based on our expectations of future experience with respect to interest, mortality costs, persistency, expense, taxes, as well as the size, timing and frequency of deposits.

About the Policy

Application and Issuance.  To apply for a Policy, You must submit an application to our Service Office.  We will then follow underwriting procedures designed to determine the insurability of the proposed Insured.  We offer the Policy on a regular (or medical) underwriting, simplified underwriting, expanded guaranteed issue or guaranteed issue basis.  The proposed Insured generally must be less than 81 years old for a Policy to be issued.  For Policies underwritten on a medical or simplified basis, we may require that the proposed Insured undergo one or more medical examinations and that You provide us with such additional information as we may deem necessary, before an application is approved.

We will issue Policies on an expanded guaranteed issue or guaranteed issue basis with respect to certain groups of Insureds.  Policies issued on such basis must be pre-approved based on information You provide to us on a master application and on certain other underwriting requirements which all members of a proposed group of Insureds must meet.  Proposed Insureds must be acceptable risks based on our underwriting limits and standards.  We will not issue a Policy until the underwriting process has been completed to our satisfaction.  In addition, we reserve the right to reject an application that does not meet our underwriting requirements or to increase by no more than 500% the cost of insurance charges applicable to an Insured to cover the cost of the increased mortality risk borne by the Company.

Death Benefit Compliance Test.  The Policy must, at all times, satisfy one of two legal standards for it to qualify as life insurance and thus be entitled to receive favorable tax treatment under applicable federal tax law.  We will refer to these standards as the “Cash Value Accumulation Test” and the “Guideline Premium Test.”  Under both tests, the Death Benefit must effectively always equal or exceed your Account Value multiplied by a certain percentage (the “Death Benefit Percentage”).  The Death Benefit Percentages for the Guideline Premium Test vary by age, whereas those for the Cash Value Accumulation Test vary by age and sex.  The Death Benefit Percentages for the Cash Value Accumulation Test, in general, are greater than those for the Guideline Premium Test.  The Guideline Premium Test imposes limits on the amount of premium You may pay under the Policy, where the Cash Value Accumulation Test does not.  You must specify in the Policy application which of these tests will apply to the Policy.  You may not change your selection once the Policy has been issued.  In general, if your primary objective is maximum accumulation of Account Value during the initial Policy Years, then the Cash Value Accumulation Test would be the more appropriate choice.  If your primary objective is the most economically efficient method of obtaining a specified amount of coverage, then the Guideline Premium Test is generally more appropriate.  Because your choice of tests depends on complex factors and may not be changed, You should consult with a qualified tax adviser before deciding.

Initial Premium Payment.  Generally, You must make an initial minimum premium payment that will sustain the Policy for three months from its Issue Date. Pending approval of your application, we will allocate any premium payments You make to our general account.  If your application is not approved, we will promptly return your premium payments.

Upon approval of your application, we will issue to You a Policy on the life of the Insured which will set forth your rights and our obligations.  The Issue Date is the date specified as such in the Policy, from which Policy Anniversaries, Policy Years and Policy Months are measured and the date from which monthly deductions are incurred.   The Investment Start Date is the date we apply your first premium payment, which will be the later of the Issue Date and the Business Day we approve the policy application.

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

Right to Return Policy Period.  If You are not satisfied with the Policy, You may return it by delivering or post-marking it to our Service Office or to the sales representative through whom You purchased the Policy within 10 days from the date of receipt (the “Right to Return Policy Period”).

If You return the Policy during the Right to Return Policy Period, the Policy will be deemed void and You will receive a refund equal to the greater of premiums paid and premiums paid plus money market return.  We will allocate the net premium payments to the Sun Capital Money Market Fund Sub-Account during that period beginning on the Investment Start Date.  Upon expiration of the Right to Return Policy Period, we will reallocate your Account Value and allocate future net premium payments in accordance with your instructions.

Asset Allocation.  One or more asset allocation programs may be made available in connection with the Policy, at no extra charge.  Asset allocation is the process of investing in different asset classes -- such as equity funds, fixed income funds and money market funds -- depending on your personal investment goals, tolerance for risk, and investment time horizon.  By spreading your money among a variety of asset classes, You may be able to reduce the risk and volatility of investing, although there are no guarantees, and asset allocation does not insure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market.  Currently, You may select one of the asset allocation models, each of which represents a combination of Sub-Accounts with a different level of risk.  These asset allocation models, as well as the terms and conditions of the asset allocation program, are fully described in a separate brochure.  We may add or delete such programs in the future.  If You elect an asset allocation program, we automatically rebalance your premium payments among the Sub-Accounts represented in the model You choose.  We rebalance your premium payments on a quarterly basis, without further instruction from You.  Our asset allocation programs are “static” programs.  We do not change the original percentage allocations among the Sub-Accounts that are used for rebalancing purposes in your chosen model.  We may, however, terminate the program or choose a different model. Also, the asset allocation models are reviewed and, as a result, may be substituted for new models and existing models may be terminated.  If so, the new models will be offered only to Policies issued on or after the date the new model goes into effect or to Owners who elect an asset allocation program on or after that date.  Owners of any existing asset allocation programs may make an independent decision to change their asset allocations at any time during the duration of an asset allocation model or after the asset allocation model has terminated.  If an existing model is terminated, we will rebalance your Sub-Accounts to the percentage of allocations of the terminated model, unless You advise us otherwise.  We will also allocate new premium to the percentage allocations of the terminated model unless otherwise instructed by You.  You should consult your financial adviser periodically to consider whether the model You have selected is still appropriate for You or whether You wish to change your percentage allocations.

Premium Payments

In general, You may choose the frequency and amount of any additional premium payments subject to the limits described below.  All premium payments must be made payable to Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York and mailed to our Service Office.

General Limitations.  We reserve the right to limit the number of premium payments we accept on an annual basis.  No premium payment may be less than $100 without our consent, although we will accept a smaller premium payment if it is necessary to keep the Policy in force.  We reserve the right to reject a premium payment that, if accepted, would cause the Policy, at its current Death Benefit, to no longer meet the definition of “life insurance” under the Internal Revenue Code.  If You provide satisfactory evidence of insurability, we can retain the premium and increase the Death Benefit while maintaining the Policy’s “life insurance” status under the Internal Revenue Code.

Guideline Premium Test Limitations.  The Guideline Premium Test limits the amount of premium You may pay per year.  We will not accept premium payments that would, in our opinion, exceeds these limits unless You have expressly directed us to do so.  We may require satisfactory evidence of insurability before we accept such a premium.  We will inform You of the applicable maximum premium limitations for the coming years in our annual report to You.  In contrast, the Cash Value Accumulation Test does not impose any additional limitations on the amount of premium You may pay.

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

Allocation of Net Premium.Net Premium is the amount You pay as premium minus the Premium Expense Load.  The Premium Expense Load covers State and Federal tax liabilities related to premium.  We will allocate Net Premium among the Investment Options in accordance with your allocation instructions, except during the Right to Return Policy Period as described above.  You will be required to specify initial allocation percentages at the time of application.  While there are no limitations concerning the number of Investment Options to which Net Premium may be allocated, we reserve the right to impose minimum allocation amounts, as determined by the Fund, for any or all Investment Options.

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

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

We will notify You or your financial adviser within one business day if we receive a premium that would, in our opinion, cause the Policy to become a MEC.  We will not credit the premium unless we receive specific instructions from You to do so.  Any such premium will be held, for a period not to exceed 90 days, in an interest bearing account.  This premium will be refunded, with interest at at the then rate paid by the Company on comparable fixed life insurance policies, at the earlier of a) the date we receive instruction from You to return the premium, b) the date we determine the premium cannot be applied to the Policy because satisfactory evidence of insurability of the Insured’s to increase the Specified Face Amount to avoid MEC status was not supplied and c) the end of the 90 day period.

Supplemental Insurance Face Amount

The Policy may be issued with a Supplemental Insurance Face Amount which provides life insurance coverage on the life of the Insured equal to the amount of the Supplemental Insurance Death Benefit.  You will be required to specify the initial Supplemental Insurance Face Amount in the policy application.

The cost of the Supplemental Insurance Face Amount will be included in the Monthly Cost of Insurance deduction.  This deduction will cease when the Supplemental Insurance Face Amount is terminated.  The applicable guaranteed maximum Monthly Cost of Insurance Rates for the Supplemental Insurance Death Benefit are the same as those for the Base Death Benefit.

Target Premium is the amount of premium specified as such in the Policy, used to determine the Premium Expense Load.  Target Premium is equal to (the Specified Face Amount divided by 1000) multiplied by the Target Premium Factor.  Total Face Amount is the sum of the Specified Face Amount and Supplemental Insurance Face Amount.

Two otherwise identical Policies with the same Total Face Amount will have different Target Premiums depending on how much of the Total Face Amount is attributable to the Specified Face Amount versus the Supplemental Insurance Face Amount.  Target Premium will be lower for the Policy which has the greater Supplemental Insurance Face Amount because the Target Premium calculation uses the Specified Face Amount not the Total Face Amount.

The Supplemental Insurance Death Benefit will terminate on the earliest of-

-our receipt of your written request for termination,

-the lapse of the Policy because of insufficient value, or

-the termination of the Policy.

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

-
the amount of the Base Death Benefit, plus
   
-
the amount of the Supplemental Insurance Death Benefit, minus
   
-
the amount of any outstanding Policy Debt, plus
   
-
the amount of any other supplemental benefits.

The amount of the Base Death Benefit and Supplemental Insurance Death Benefit depends upon the death benefit option in effect at the time of the Insured’s death.

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

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

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

 Option B-Specified Face Amount Plus Gross Cash Surrender Value.  Under this option, the Base Death Benefit is the greater of-
 
-
the Specified Face Amount plus the Gross Cash Surrender Value, or
   
-
the Gross Cash Surrender value multiplied by the applicable Death Benefit Percentage.

 Option C-Specified Face Amount Plus Cumulative Premiums Paid.  Under this option, the Base Death Benefit is the greater of-
 
-
the Specified Face Amount plus the sum of all premiums paid less any partial surrenders, or
   
-
the Gross Cash Surrender Value multiplied by the applicable Death Benefit Percentage.

Option A provides a level amount of death benefit.  Option B provides an increasing amount of death benefit due to the inclusion of the Gross Cash Surrender Value.  While Option B provides a higher death benefit than Option A, the monthly deduction for cost of insurance charges will be higher.  Option C also provides a higher death benefit than Option A and may result in a higher monthly deduction for cost of insurance charges depending upon actual premium payments made.  Ask your financial adviser for an illustration to compare costs between Option B and Option C.

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

If the Insured dies while the Policy is in force, we will make a lump sum payment when we receive due proof of that death.  The Death Benefit used to determine Policy Proceeds is based on the death benefit option, the Specified Face Amount and Supplemental Insurance Face Amount and Gross Cash Surrender Value in effect on the Insured’s date of death.

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

Changes in the Death Benefit Option.  You may change the death benefit option, subject to our underwriting rules in effect at the time of the change.  Requests for a change must be made in writing to us at our Service Office.  The effective date of the change will be the Policy Anniversary on or next following the date of receipt of your request.

Minimum Face Amount.  Total Face Amount is the sum of the Specified Face Amount and Supplemental Insurance Face Amount.  In general, the Total Face Amount must be at least $100,000, of which the Specified Face Amount must be at least $10,000.  We reserve the right to waive these minimums.

Changes in Face Amount.  You may change the Specified Face Amount or Supplemental Insurance Face Amount, subject to our underwriting rules in effect at the time of the change.  Unless You specify otherwise, we will first apply a change to the Supplemental Insurance Face Amount to the extent possible.  You must send your request for a change to us in writing.  The effective date for changes will be-

-
for any increase in coverage, the Monthly Anniversary Day that falls on or next follows the date we approve the supplemental application for the increase; and
   
-
for any decrease in coverage, the Monthly Anniversary Day that falls on or next follows the date we receive your request.

Increases in Face Amount.  An increase in the Specified Face Amount and Supplemental Insurance Face Amount is subject to our underwriting rules in effect at the time of the increase.  You may be required to submit satisfactory evidence of the Insured’s insurability.  The cost of insurance charges applicable to an increase in Specified Face Amount and Supplemental Insurance Face Amount may be higher or lower than those charged on the original sums if the Insured’s health has changed to a degree that qualifies the Insured for a different risk classification. Additional policy specification pages will be provided to show the applicable guaranteed maximum cost of insurance charges applicable to any increase. Your financial adviser can provide an illustration to show the level of premium funding necessary to maintain coverage at the increased Specified Face Amount and Supplemental Insurance Face Amount.

Decreases in Face Amount.  The Specified Face Amount may not decrease to less than the Minimum Specified Face Amount specified in the Policy.  Similarly, a decrease in Specified Face Amount or Supplemental Insurance Face Amount may not decrease the Total Face Amount to an amount less than the Minimum Total Face Amount specified in the Policy.  A decrease in face amount will be applied-
   
-
first, to the most recent increase, either Specified Face Amount or Supplemental Insurance Face Amount, if any, whichever is most recent.  If issued at the same time, Supplemental Insurance Face Amount first;
   
-
second, to the next most recent increases, either Specified Face Amount or Supplemental Insurance Face Amount, if any, in reverse chronological order.  If issued at the same time, Supplemental Insurance Face Amount first;
   
-
third, to the initial Supplemental Insurance Face Amount, if any; and
   
-
finally, to the initial Specified Face Amount.

By way of example, presume a Policy is issued with $250,000 of Specified Face Amount and $150,000 of Supplemental Insurance Face Amount.  After issue, You increase the Supplemental Insurance Face Amount by $100,000 to $250,000 and later increase the Specified Face Amount by $50,000 to $300,000.  You then request a decrease of $200,000. The most recent $50,000 of Specified Face Amount increase is eliminated.  The $100,000 Supplemental Insurance Face Amount is eliminated.  The original Supplemental Insurance Face Amount is reduced by $50,000 to $100,000.

Account Value

Your Account Value is the sum of the amounts in each Investment Option plus the amount of the Loan Account.

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

Amounts allocated to a Sub-Account will be used to purchase Units of that Sub-Account.  Units are redeemed when You make partial surrenders, undertake policy loans or transfer amounts from a Sub-Account, and for payment of the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge, the Monthly Expense Charge, the Monthly Face Amount Charge and the Monthly Cost of Insurance Charge.  The number of Units of each Sub-Account purchased or redeemed is determined by dividing the dollar amount of the transaction by the Unit Value for the Sub-Account.  A Valuation Date is any day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for business and valuation will occur at the close of the New York Stock Exchange.  The New York Stock Exchange historically closes on weekends and the following holidays:  New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Washington’s Birthday, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas.

For the first Valuation Date of each Sub-Account, the Unit Value is established by us.  The Unit Value for any subsequent Valuation Date is equal to the Unit Value for the preceding Valuation Date multiplied by the Net Investment Factor.  The Unit Value of a Sub-Account for any Valuation Date is determined as of the close of the Valuation Period ending on that Valuation Date.  The Valuation Period is the period of time from one determination of Unit Values to the next.

If accompanied by proper allocation instructions, a premium received at our Service Office is credited to the Policy on the same date it is received unless that date is not a Valuation Date or receipt is after the close of the New York Stock Exchange on a Valuation Date. In those instances, the premium will be credited on the next Valuation Date.

The Investment Start Date is the date we apply your first premium payment, which will be the later of the Issue Date and the Business Day we approve the policy application.  If premium is to be allocated to a Sub-Account, the Unit Value of the Sub-Account will be that next determined after receipt of such premium.

Account Value for Investment Options.  The Account Value on the Investment Start Date equals-

-
that portion of Net Premium received and allocated to the Investment Options, minus
   
-
the Monthly Expense Charges and Monthly Face Amount Charges due on the Issue Date and subsequent Monthly Anniversary Days through the Investment Start Date, minus
   
-
the Monthly Cost of Insurance deductions due from the Issue Date through the Investment Start Date.

The Account Value for Investment Options on subsequent Valuation Dates is equal to-

-
the Account Value attributable to each Sub-Account on the preceding Valuation Date multiplied by that Sub-Account’s Net Investment Factor, minus
   
-
the Daily Risk Percentage multiplied by the number of days in the Valuation Period multiplied by the Account Value in the Sub-Account, plus
   
-
the value of the Fixed Account on the preceding Valuation Date, accrued at interest, plus
   
-
that portion of Net Premium received and allocated to each Investment Option during the current Valuation Period, plus
   
-
that portion of any loan repayment, including repayment of loan interest, allocated to an Investment Option during the current Valuation Period, minus
   
-
that portion of any partial surrenders deducted from each Investment Option during the current Valuation Period, minus
   
-
that portion of any Policy loan transferred from each Investment Option to the Loan Account during the current Valuation Period, minus
   
-
any illustration charge assessed during the current Valuation Period, minus
   
-
if a Monthly Anniversary Day occurs during the current Valuation Period, that portion of the Monthly Expense Charge and Monthly Face Amount Charge for the Policy Month just beginning charged to each Investment Option, minus
   
-
if a Monthly Anniversary Day occurs during the current Valuation Period, that portion of the Monthly Cost of Insurance charged to each Investment Option.

Net Investment Factor.  The Net Investment Factor is used to measure the Sub-Account’s investment performance from one Valuation Period to the next.  This factor will be greater or less than or equal to one, corresponding to a positive or negative or to a lack of change in the Sub-Account’s investment performance for the preceding Valuation Period.  Although we do not currently take any federal, state or local taxes into account when determining the Net Investment Factor, we reserve the right to do so.  The Net Investment Factor for each Sub-Account for any Valuation Period is determined by dividing the net result of-
 
-
the net asset value of a Fund share held in the Sub-Account determined as of the end of the Valuation Period, plus
   
-
the amount of any dividend or other distribution declared on amounts held in the Sub-Account if the “ex-dividend” date occurs during the Valuation Period, which for some assets will not be credited with investment experience until the dividend is paid, plus or minus
   
-
a credit or charge with respect to any taxes reserved for by us, or paid by us if not previously reserved for, during the Valuation Period which are determined by us to be attributable to the operation of the Sub-Account,
   
-
by the net asset value of a Fund share held in the Sub-Account determined as of the end of the preceding Valuation Period.

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

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

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

The Account Value in the Loan Account on any day after the Investment Start Date equals-
 
-
 
 
-
 
 
-
the Account Value in the Loan Account on the preceding day credited with interest at the rate specified in the Policy as the “interest credited on Loan Account rate” of 3%, plus
 
any amount transferred from any Investment Option to the Loan Account for Policy loans requested on that day; minus
 
any loan repayments made on that day.

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

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

Grace Period.  If, on a Valuation Date, the Policy will terminate by reason of insufficient value, we will allow a grace period.  This grace period will allow 61 calendar days from that Valuation Date for the payment of a Net Premium sufficient to cover the daily and monthly deductions due for charges under the Policy from the Account Value.  Notice of premium due will be mailed to your last known address or the last known address of any assignee of record within 30 days of that Valuation Date.  We will assume that your last known address is the address shown on the policy application (or notice of assignment), unless we have received satisfactory notice of a change in address.  If the premium due is not paid during the grace period, then the Policy will terminate without value at the end of the 61 day period without further notice.  The Policy will continue to remain in force during this grace period.  If the Policy Proceeds become payable during the grace period, they will be reduced by any overdue deductions.

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

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

Charitable Giving Benefit Rider.  Under this rider, when Policy Proceeds are payable, we will pay a Charitable Gift Amount to the named Charitable Beneficiary.  The Charitable Gift Amount is 1% of the Specified Face Amount and is an additional payment that does not diminish the Policy Proceeds paid to your beneficiary.  The Charitable Beneficiary may be any organization considered exempt from federal taxation under Section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code and is listed in Section 170(c) of the Internal Revenue Code as an authorized recipient of charitable contributions.  The Charitable Gift Amount and the Charitable Beneficiary in effect on the Issue Date are shown in the Policy. The rider attaches to all Policies at issue and can be discontinued upon written request to the Company.  There is no charge for this rider.

Waiver of Monthly Deductions Rider.  Under this rider, we will waive the monthly deductions (Mortality and Expense Risk Charge, the Monthly Expense Charge, the Monthly Face Amount Charge and the Monthly Cost of Insurance Charge) for the Policy and any optional riders for all months for which the Insured suffers a total disability, if the Insured's total disability commences while this rider is in force and continues for six months.  We will continue to waive the monthly deduction for as long as the disability continues. Waiver of monthly deductions means the Account Value will not be reduced by any monthly deductions each Monthly Anniversary Day during the period of total disability. We must receive due proof of the Insured’s total disability and due proof that the total disability has been continuous for six months before we will waive the monthly deductions.  At that time, we will reverse the monthly deductions which had been taken for the past months of total disability and waive all monthly deductions going forward until total disability ceases.  We may require from time to time additional proof that the disability is continuing, but not more frequently than once per year after the disability has continued for two years.  The rider charge is deducted monthly from the Account Value. We use a Company-developed proprietary pricing table to determine the factor that corresponds with the Insured’s Issue Age and multiply this factor by each $1000 of Specified Face Amount and $1000 of Supplemental Insurance Face Amount.  The rider must be elected at issue and may be discontinued upon written request to the Company.  If the rider is discontinued, the rider charge will cease.  If You elect this rider, You may not elect the Payment of Stipulated Amount Rider.

Payment of Stipulated Amount Rider.  Under this rider, we will make a monthly payment of the "stipulated amount" into the Account Value when the Insured suffers a total disability, if the Insured's total disability commences while this rider is in force and continues for six months.  You elect the stipulated amount on the application.  We will continue to make a payment of that amount for as long as the disability continues but no later than the duration of the payment option elected (Insured's age 65 or 70). Payment of the stipulated amount does not guarantee that the Account Value of the Policy will be sufficient to keep the Policy in force. We must receive due proof of the Insured’s total disability and due proof that the total disability has been continuous for six months before we will make a payment.  At that time, we will credit the Account Value with the stipulated payment at the beginning of each month of past total disability and will credit the Account Value with the stipulated payment at the beginning of each month total disability continues.  We may require from time to time additional proof that the disability is continuing, but not more frequently than once per year after the disability has continued for two years.  The rider charge is deducted monthly from the Account Value  We use a Company-developed proprietary pricing table to determine the factor that corresponds with the Insured’s Issue Age and sex and multiply that factor by each $100 of Stipulated Amount.  The rider charge will cease for the term the stipulated amount is being paid.  The rider must be elected at issue and may be discontinued upon written request to the Company.  If the rider is discontinued, the rider charge will cease.  The rider may not be elected if the Waiver of Monthly Deductions Rider has been elected..

Enhancement Benefit.  An Enhancement Benefit may be provided if You surrender the Policy and such surrender is not made pursuant to an exchange under Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code (or any successor provision).  The amount available for Policy loan or partial surrender will not increase by any Enhancement Benefit.  The Enhancement Benefit is a return of a portion of the charges paid under the Policy.  When a charge is based on the Account Value, the Account Value will not include the Enhancement Benefit.  When a charge is based on the Gross Cash Surrender Value, the Gross Cash Surrender Value, as defined, includes the Enhancement Benefit.

The payment of an Enhancement Benefit is at the discretion of the Company.  On a current basis, an Enhancement Benefit is available during the Enhancement Period (the first seven Policy Years) and is calculated as follows:

-Prior to the payment of the initial Premium, the Enhancement Benefit is zero.

-Whenever a Premium Expense Load,  Monthly Expense Charge or Monthly Face Amount Charge is deducted during the Enhancement Period, the Enhancement Benefit is increased by 100% of each such load or charge.

-Whenever a Monthly Cost of Insurance charge is deducted during years 1-2 of the Enhancement Period, the Enhancement Benefit is increased by a percentage, which decreases over time, determined in accordance with the following formula:

-[(14 - M) divided by 36] multiplied by 100 where M equals the number of months elapsed since the beginning of the Enhancement Period.

-The Enhancement Benefit is zero after the end of the Enhancement Period.

The Enhancement Benefit is payable with respect to each Policy owned by the policyowner and is not contingent upon surrender of all such Policies.

Transfer Privileges

You normally may transfer all or a portion of your Account Value among Sub-Accounts and into the Fixed Account.  Transfers from the Fixed Account may not exceed the greater of the transfer percentage multiplied by the highest Fixed Account value over the transfer period and the transfer minimum.  The transfer percentage, transfer period and transfer minimum are shown in the Policy.  We will make transfers pursuant to an acceptable request to our Service Office.  An “acceptable request” is one that is authorized by a person with proper authority, provides clear instruction to the Company, as administrator of the Variable Account, and is for a transaction that is not restricted by policies and procedures of the Variable Account or the Fund.

An acceptable transfer request will be executed as of the date our Service Office receives your request provided that it is received on a Valuation Date before the close of the New York Stock Exchange.  If an acceptable transfer request is received on a day that is not a Valuation Date or after the close of the New York Stock Exchange on a Valuation Date, it will be executed effective on the next Valuation Date. The Unit Value of Sub-Accounts affected by a transfer request will be that next determined after receipt of such transfer request.

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

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

-

-

-the minimum amount that may be transferred;

-the frequency of transfers; and

-the minimum amount that may remain in a Sub-Account following a transfer from that Sub-Account.

We reserve the right to restrict amounts transferred to the Fixed Account from the Sub-Accounts.  However, if You object to a material change in the Sub-Accounts under your Policy, You may transfer the Account Value in the affected Sub-Accounts to the Fixed Account Option within 60 days after the effective date of the material change.

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

Short-Term Trading

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

The Variable Account has policies and procedures to discourage frequent transfers of Account Value.  As described above under "Transfer Privileges," the Policy includes the right to limit the frequency of transfers.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Accessing Your Account Value

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

-the Account Value, minus

-the outstanding balance of any outstanding Policy Debt; plus

-any Enhancement Benefit.

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

You may allocate a partial surrender among the Investment Options.  If You do not specify the allocation, then we will allocate the partial surrender among the Investment Options in the same proportion that the Account Value attributable to each Investment Option bears to the total Account Value less the Loan Account immediately prior to the partial surrender.

Policy Loans.  Using the Policy as collateral, You may request a policy loan of your Account Value, decreased by the balance of any outstanding Policy Debt on the date the policy loan is made and by the projected deductions due to the next Policy Anniversary.  We will transfer Account Value equal to the amount of the policy loan from the Investment Options to the Loan Account on the date the policy loan is made.  Amounts in the Loan Account accrue interest daily at an effective annual rate of 3%.

You may allocate the policy loan among the Investment Options.  If You do not specify the allocation, then we will allocate the policy loan among the Investment Options in the same proportion that the Account Value attributable to each Investment Option bears to the total Account Value less the Loan Account immediately prior to the policy loan.

Interest on the policy loan will accrue daily at an annual rate of 4% in Policy Years 1 through 10 and 3.0% thereafter.  This interest will be due and payable to us in arrears on each Policy Anniversary.  Any unpaid interest will be added to the principal amount as an additional policy loan and will bear interest at the same rate and in the same manner as the prior policy loan.

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

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

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

-the New York Stock Exchange is closed, other than customary weekend and holiday closing, or trading on that exchange is otherwise restricted as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission;

-the Securities and Exchange Commission, or other regulatory agency with jurisdiction, by order, permits postponement for the protection of policyowners; or

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

We reserve the right to defer payment of any portion of the Cash Surrender Value, policy loan or partial surrender payable from the Fixed Account for a period not exceeding six months from the date we receive your surrender or loan request.

Reinstatement

Before the Insured's death, we may reinstate the Policy provided that the Policy has not been surrendered and You-

-make a request for reinstatement within three years from the date of termination;

-submit satisfactory evidence of insurability to us; and

-pay an amount, as determined by us, sufficient to put the Policy in force.

An amount sufficient to put the Policy in force is not less than:

-the monthly deductions overdue at the end of the grace period; plus

-any excess of Policy Debt over Cash Value at the end of the grace period; plus

-three times the monthly cost of insurance charges applicable at the date of reinstatement; plus

-three times the monthly expense charges applicable at the date of reinstatement.

Any Policy Debt at the time the Policy is terminated must be repaid at time of reinstatement or carried over to the reinstated Policy.

Charges, Deductions and Refunds

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

Currently, the Premium Expense Load for Policy Year 1 is 20% on each premium payment up to and including Target Premium, 9% in Policy Years 2-10 and 3.25% thereafter.  The Premium Expense Load on each premium payment up to and including Target Premium will not exceed 35% for Policy Year 1, 12% for Policy Years 2-10 and 5% thereafter.

Currently, the Premium Expense Load for Policy Years 1-10 is 3.5% on each premium payment in excess of Target Premium and 3.25% thereafter.  The Premium Expense Load on each premium payment in excess of Target Premium will not exceed 5.0% in any Policy Year.

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

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge.  We deduct a daily charge from the assets of the Variable Account for the mortality and expense risks we assume with respect to the Policy.  We may realize a profit from this charge.  This charge is based on the applicable Daily Risk Percentage, which we will from time to time determine based on our expectations of future interest, mortality experience, persistency, expenses, profit and taxes.  Expressed as an equivalent annual rate, the Daily Risk Percentage is guaranteed not to exceed 0.60% of assets annually.

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

Monthly Expense Charge.  We deduct a flat charge at the beginning of each month for administration costs.  We will from time to time determine the applicable Monthly Expense Charge based on our expectations of future experience with respect to interest, mortality experience, persistency, expenses, profit and taxes, which will not exceed $5.00 in any Policy Month.  The Monthly Expense Charge is shown in the Fee Table. The Monthly Expense Charge is currently $5.00.

Monthly Face Amount Charge.  We deduct a Monthly Face Amount Charge for administration and issue costs.  The charge is based on the Specified Face Amount.  The Monthly Face Amount Charge is based on the Issue Age, sex and rating class of the Insured.  The Monthly Face Amount Charge will not exceed $0.20 per $1000 of Specified Face Amount.

Monthly Cost of Insurance.  We deduct a Monthly Cost of Insurance charge from your Account Value to cover anticipated costs of providing insurance coverage.  We may realize a profit from this charge.  The Monthly Cost of Insurance charge is shown in the Fee Table.

The Monthly Cost of Insurance equals the sum of (1), (2), (3) and (4) where

 (1)  is the Specified Face Amount Monthly Cost of Insurance Rate (described below) multiplied by the Specified Face Amount Net Amount at Risk divided by 1,000.  The Specified Face Amount Net Amount at Risk equals the Base Death Benefit less the Account Value*;

(2)  is the Supplemental Insurance Face Amount Monthly Cost of Insurance Rate (described below) multiplied by the Supplemental Insurance Death Benefit divided by 1,000*;

(3) is the monthly rider cost for any riders which are a part of the Policy (i.e. Waiver of Monthly Deductions, Payment of Stipulated Amount); and

(4) is any additional insurance charge calculated, as specified in the Policy, for substandard risk classifications, which can be up to 500% of the charge shown in the Fee Table.

*Item (1) above is expressed algebraically as: the Specified Face Amount Monthly Cost of Insurance rate [Specified Face Amount  Net Amount at Risk ÷ 1000].  Item (2) above is expressed algebraically as: the Supplemental Insurance Face Amount Monthly Cost of Insurance rate [Supplemental Insurance Face Amount  Net Amount at Risk ÷ 1000].  

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

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

The Total Net Amount at Risk is affected by the performance of the Sub-Accounts to which premium is allocated, the cumulative premium paid, any Policy Debt, any partial surrenders, transaction fees and periodic charges.  Monthly Cost of Insurance rates are based on the length of time the Policy has been in force and on the Insured's sex (except for unisex Policies), Issue Age, Class and underwriting basis.  We will from time to time determine the applicable rates based on our expectations of future experience with respect to interest, mortality experience, persistency, expenses, profit and taxes.  The expenses we consider will include, but not be limited to, any additional commissions we are required to pay as a result of any additional services that a corporate purchaser specifically requests or authorizes to be provided by our agent.  Any variations will be based on uniformly applied criteria that do not discriminate unfairly against any owner.  We anticipate the cost of insurance rates for coverage under the Policy to be less than the guaranteed maximum monthly rates shown in the Policy, unless the Insured has been rated a substandard risk.  The cost of insurance rates shown in the Policy are based on the 1980 Commissioner's Standard Ordinary Mortality Table A (for males), Table B (for unisex) or Table G (for females).  Monthly cost of insurance rates for classes of Insureds with substandard risk ratings are based on multiples of the CSO Mortality Tables described above.

Other Charges and Expenses.  We reserve the right to impose a charge for in-force illustrations, as more fully described at page 26.  We currently do not impose a charge and guarantee any charge will not exceed $25.00.  In addition, the interest charged for outstanding loans as well as the interest credited to the Loan Account is more fully described at page 22.  Lastly, a flat extra charge may apply if an Insured is a substandard risk.  A flat extra charge will not exceed $20.00 per $1000 of Specified Face Amount and Supplemental Insurance Face Amount.  It is deducted from the Account Value on a monthly basis and covers the additional mortality risks of the Insured borne by the Company.  A definition of “flat extra” is provided in the Glossary.

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

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

Termination of Policy

The Policy will terminate on the earliest of-

-the date we receive your request to surrender,

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

-the date of Insured’s death.

Other Policy Provisions

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

Assignments.  During the lifetime of the Insured, You may assign all or some of your rights under the Policy.  All assignments must be filed at our Service Office and must be in a form satisfactory to us.  The assignment will then be effective as of the date You signed the form, subject to any action taken before it was recorded by us at our Service Office.  We are not responsible for the validity or legal effect of any assignment.  Neither the Policy nor any of your rights or those of a beneficiary may be assigned or transferred without our permission.

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

Reports to Owners.  We will send You a report at least once each Policy Year.  The report will show current policy values, premiums paid and deductions made since the last report.  It will also show the balance of any Policy Debt.  Additionally, confirmations of individual transactions (e.g. premium payments, allocations, transfers) in the Policy will be sent at the time of the transaction.

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

Misstatement of Age or Sex.  If the age or sex of the Insured is stated incorrectly in the Policy application, the amounts payable by us will be adjusted as follows:

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

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

Suicide.  If the Insured commits suicide within two years after the Issue Date, We will not pay any part of the Policy Proceeds.  We will refund to You the Premiums paid, less the amount of any Policy Debt and less any Partial Surrenders.

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

Addition, Deletion or Substitution of Investments.  Shares of any or all of the Funds may not always be available for purchase by the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account or we may decide that further investment in any such shares is no longer appropriate.  In either event, shares of other registered open-end investment companies or unit investment trusts may be substituted both for Fund shares already purchased by the Variable Account and/or as the security to be purchased in the future, provided that these substitutions have been approved by the SEC.  In addition, the investment policies of the Variable Account will not be changed without the approval of the Superintendent of Insurance of the State of New York.   We also reserve the right to eliminate or combine existing Sub-Accounts or to transfer assets between Sub-Accounts upon a Sub-Account elimination or combination, subject to the approval of the SEC.  In the event of any substitution or other act described above, we may make appropriate amendment to the Policy to reflect the substitution.

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

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

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

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

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

-adds, deletes or otherwise changes Investment Options.

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

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

Entire Contract.  Your entire contract with us consists of the Policy, the application(s), any riders, any endorsements and any other attachments.  Any hypothetical illustrations prepared in connection with the Policy do not form a part of our contract with You and are intended solely to provide information about possible future performance, based solely upon data available at the time such illustrations are prepared.

Performance Information

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

-customer profiles and hypothetical purchase and investment scenarios;

-financial management and tax and retirement planning; and

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

The Policy was first offered to the public in 2007.  We may, however, advertise return data based on the period of time that the Funds have been in existence.  The results for any period prior to the time the Policy was first publicly offered will be calculated as if the Policy had been offered during that period of time.

Voting Rights

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

We will determine the number of shares for which You are entitled to provide voting instructions as of the record date established for the applicable Fund.  This number is determined by dividing your Account Value in the Sub-Account, if any, by the net asset value of one share in the corresponding Fund. We may, if required by state insurance regulators, disregard voting instructions if the instructions require shares to be voted to cause a change in the subclassification or investment objective of one or more of the Funds, or to approve or disapprove an investment advisory contract for a Fund.  In addition, we may disregard voting instructions in favor of any change in the investment policies or in any investment adviser or principal underwriter of a Fund.  Our disapproval of any such change must be reasonable and, in the case of change in investment policies or investment adviser, based on a good faith determination that the change would be contrary to state law or otherwise inappropriate in light of the objectives and purposes of the Fund.  If we disregard voting instructions, we will include a summary of and the reasons for that action in our next periodic report to policyowners.

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

Distribution of Policy

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

The Company (or its affiliates, for the purposes of this section only, collectively, "the Company"), pays the Selling Broker-Dealers compensation for sale of the Policy.  The Selling Agents who solicit sales of the Policy typically receive a portion of the compensation paid by the Company to the Selling Broker-Dealers in the form of commissions or other compensation, depending on the agreement between the Selling Broker-Dealer and their Selling Agent.  This compensation is not paid directly by the Policy Owner or the Variable Account.  The Company intends to recoup this compensation through fees and charges imposed under the Policy, and from profits on payments received by the Company for providing administrative, marketing, and other support and services to the Funds.  

The amount and timing of commissions the Company may pay to Selling Broker-Dealers is not expected to be more than 70% of premium paid in the first Policy Year and 20% per annum of premium paid in Policy Years two and after.  We may also pay a commission of-

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

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

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

In addition to the compensation described above, the Company may make additional cash payments (in certain circumstances referred to as “override” compensation) or reimbursements to Selling Broker-Dealers in recognition of their marketing and distribution, transaction processing and/or administrative services support.  These payments are not offered to all Selling Broker-Dealers, and the terms of any particular agreement governing the payments may vary among Selling Broker-Dealers depending on, among other things, the level of and type of marketing and distribution support provided.  Marketing and distribution support services may include, among other services, placement of the Company's products on the Selling Broker-Dealer's preferred or recommended list, access to the Selling Broker- Dealer's registered representatives for purposes of promoting sales of the Company's products, assistance in training and education for the Selling Agents, and opportunities for the Company to participate in sales conferences and educational seminars. The payments or reimbursements may be calculated as a percentage of the particular Selling Broker-Dealer’s actual aggregate sales of our variable policies (including the Policy), in most cases not to exceed 3% of aggregate sales attributable to the Selling Broker-Dealer and/or may be a fixed dollar amount.  Broker-dealers receiving these additional payments may pass on some or all of the payments to the Selling Agent.

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

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

Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following is a summary of our understanding of current federal income tax laws and is not intended as tax advice.  You should be aware that Congress has the power to enact legislation affecting the tax treatment of life insurance contracts which could be applied retroactively.  New judicial or administrative interpretation of federal income tax law may also affect the tax treatment of life insurance contracts.  Any person contemplating the purchase of a Policy or any transaction involving a Policy should consult a qualified tax adviser.  We do not make any representation or provide any guarantee regarding the federal, state or local tax treatment of any Policy or any transaction involving a Policy.

Our Tax Status

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

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

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

Taxation of Policy Proceeds

Section 7702 of the Code provides certain tests for whether a policy will be treated as a “life insurance contract” for tax purposes.  Provided that the policyowner of the Policy has an insurable interest in the Insured, we believe that the Policy meets these tests, and thus should receive the same federal income tax treatment as a fixed life insurance contract.  As such, the Death Benefit under the Policy will generally be eligible for exclusion from the gross income of the beneficiary under Section 101 of the Code, and the policyowner will not be deemed to be in constructive receipt of the increases in Cash Surrender Values, including additions attributable to interest, dividends, appreciation or gains realized upon transfers among the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account, until actual receipt thereof.

However, You may be taxed on all of the accumulated income under the Policy on its maturity date and there can be no assurance that an election to extend the maturity date of the Policy will avoid that result.  In addition, a corporate owner may be subject to alternative minimum tax on the annual increases in Cash Surrender Values and on the portion of the Death Benefit under the Policy that exceeds its Cash Surrender Value.

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

For a variable contract like the Policy to qualify as life insurance for federal income tax purposes, it also must comply with the investment diversification rules found in Section 817 of the Code.  We believe that the Variable Account complies with the diversification requirements prescribed by Section 1.817-5 of the Treasury Regulations.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Upon the complete maturity, surrender or lapse of the Policy, the amount by which the sum of the Policy’s Cash Surrender Value and any unpaid Policy Debt exceeds the policyowner’s “Investment in the Policy” (as defined below) is treated as ordinary income subject to tax and the 10% additional tax discussed above may also apply.  Any loss incurred upon surrender generally is not deductible.  Any corporation that is subject to the alternative minimum tax will also have to make a separate computation of the Investment in the Policy and the gain resulting from the maturity of the Policy, or a surrender or lapse of the Policy for purposes of that tax.

The term “Investment in the Policy” means-

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Withholding

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

Tax Return Disclosure

We believe that the purchase of a Policy is not currently subject to the tax return disclosure requirements of IRC Section 6011 and Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4.  However, it is your responsibility, in consultation with your tax and legal counsel and advisers, to make your own determination as to the applicability of the disclosure requirements of IRC Section 6011 and Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4 to your federal tax return.

Under IRC Section 6111 and Temporary Treasury Regulation Section 301.6111, we are required to register with the IRS any offerings or sales of Policies that are considered tax shelters.  We believe that registration would not be required under current regulations with respect to sales of the offering or sale of a Policy.

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

Other Information

State Regulation

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

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

Legal Proceedings

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

Experts

Actuarial matters concerning the Policy have been examined by Joshua Sobol, FSA, MAAA, Associate Product Officer.

THE COMPANY AND THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT

Sun Life Financial Inc. ("Sun Life Financial"), a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with common shares listed on the Toronto, New York and Philippine stock exchanges, is the ultimate corporate parent of Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York.

We established Variable Account D on April 24, 2003, pursuant to a resolution of our Board of Directors.  The Variable Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") as a unit investment trust.

CUSTODIAN

We are the Custodian of the assets of the Variable Account.  We will purchase Fund shares at net asset value in connection with amounts allocated to the Sub-Accounts in accordance with your instructions, and we will redeem Fund shares at net asset value for the purpose of meeting the contractual obligations of the Variable Account and paying charges relative to the Variable Account. The Variable Account will be fully funded at all times for the purposes of the Federal securities laws.

The financial statements of Sun Life (N.Y.) Variable Account D included in the Statement of Additional Information have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report appearing therein and are included in their reliance upon the reports of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing. Deloitte & Touche LLP is located at 200 Berkeley Street, Boston, MA 02116.

DISTRIBUTION AND UNDERWRITING OF THE POLICY

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

The Company (or its affiliates, for the purposes of this section only, collectively, "the Company"), pays the Selling Broker-Dealers compensation for sale of the Policy.  The Selling Agents who solicit sales of the Policy typically receive a portion of the compensation paid by the Company to the Selling Broker-Dealers in the form of commissions or other compensation, depending on the agreement between the Selling Broker-Dealer and their Selling Agent.  This compensation is not paid directly by the Policy Owner or the Variable Account.  The Company intends to recoup this compensation through fees and charges imposed under the Policy, and from profits on payments received by the Company for providing administrative, marketing, and other support and services to the Funds.  The amount and timing of commissions the Company may pay to Selling Broker-Dealers is not expected to be more than 70% of premium paid in the first Policy Year and 20% per annum of premium paid in Policy Years two and after.  We may also pay a commission of-

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

-  
up to 0.10% per annum of Account Value thereafter.

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

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

In addition to the compensation described above, the Company may make additional cash payments (in certain circumstances referred to as “override” compensation) or reimbursements to Selling Broker-Dealers in recognition of their marketing and distribution, transaction processing and/or administrative services support.  These payments are not offered to all Selling Broker-Dealers, and the terms of any particular agreement governing the payments may vary among Selling Broker-Dealers depending on, among other things, the level of and type of marketing and distribution support provided.  Marketing and distribution support services may include, among other services, placement of the Company's products on the Selling Broker-Dealer's preferred or recommended list, access to the Selling Broker-Dealer's registered representatives for purposes of promoting sales of the Company's products, assistance in training and education for the Selling Agents, and opportunities for the Company to participate in sales conferences and educational seminars. The payments or reimbursements may be calculated as a percentage of the particular Selling Broker-Dealer’s actual aggregate sales of our variable policies (including the Policy), in most cases not to exceed 3% of aggregate sales attributable to the Selling Broker-Dealer and/or may be a fixed dollar amount.  Broker-dealers receiving these additional payments may pass on some or all of the payments to the Selling Agent.

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

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

THE POLICY

To apply for a Policy, you must submit an application to our Service Office.  We will then follow underwriting procedures designed to determine the insurability of the proposed Insured.  We offer the Policy on a regular (or medical) underwriting, simplified underwriting, expanded guaranteed issue or guaranteed issue basis.  The proposed Insured generally must be less than 81 years old for a Policy to be issued.  For Policies underwritten on a medical or simplified basis, we may require that the proposed Insured undergo one or more medical examinations and that you provide us with such additional information as we may deem necessary, before an application is approved.  We will issue Policies on an expanded guaranteed issue or guaranteed issue basis with respect to certain groups of Insureds.  Policies issued on such basis must be pre-approved based on information you provide to us on a master application and on certain other underwriting requirements which all members of a proposed group of Insureds must meet.  Proposed Insureds must be acceptable risks based on our underwriting limits and standards.  We will not issue a Policy until the underwriting process has been completed to our satisfaction.  In addition, we reserve the right to reject an application that does not meet our underwriting requirements or to increase by no more than 500% the cost of insurance charges applicable to an Insured to cover the cost of the increased mortality risk borne by the Company.  The cost of insurance charges are based on the 1980 Commissioner's Standard Ordinary Mortality Table A (for males), Table B (for unisex) or Table G (for females).

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

Currently, the Premium Expense Load for Policy Year 1 is 20% on each premium payment up to and including Target Premium, 9% in Policy Years 2-10 and 3.25% thereafter.  The Premium Expense Load on each premium payment up to and including Target Premium will not exceed 35% for Policy Year 1, 12% for Policy Years 2-10 and 5% thereafter.

 
 

 


Currently, the Premium Expense Load for Policy Years 1-10 is 3.5% on each premium payment in excess of Target Premium and 3.25% thereafter.  The Premium Expense Load on each premium payment in excess of Target Premium will not exceed 5.0% in any Policy Year.

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

Reduction of Charges.  We reserve the right to reduce any of our charges and deductions in connection with the sale of the Policy if we expect that the sale may result in cost savings, subject to any requirements we may from time to time impose.  We may change our requirements based on experience.  We will determine the propriety and amount of any reduction.  No reduction will be unfairly discriminatory against the interests of any class of policyowner.  Additional information may be obtained by calling the Company at 1-800-468-9890.

Increase in Face Amount.  You may request an increase in the Specified Face Amount or Supplemental Insurance Face Amount.  You may need to provide satisfactory evidence of the Insured's insurability.  Once requested, an increase will become effective at the next monthly anniversary day on or following our approval of your request.

If there are increases in the Specified Face Amount or Supplemental Insurance Face Amount other than increases caused by changes in the death benefit option, the cost of insurance charge is determined separately for the initial Specified Face Amount and initial Supplemental Insurance Face Amount and each increase in the Specified Face Amount and Supplemental Insurance Face Amount.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements of Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York are included in this Statement of Additional Information.  The financial statements of Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York will be provided as relevant to its ability to meet its financial obligations under the Policies and should not be considered as bearing on the investment performance of the assets held in the Variable Account.

Sun Life (N.Y.) Variable Account D

Notes to Financial Statements

(1) Organization

Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York Variable Account D (the "Variable Account"), a separate account of Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York (the "Sponsor") was established on April 24, 2003 as a funding vehicle for the variable portion of certain individual variable universal life insurance contracts.  The Variable Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a unit investment trust.

The assets of the Variable Account are divided into Sub-Accounts.  Each Sub-Account is invested in shares of a single corresponding investment portfolio of one of the following mutual funds:

AIM V.I. International Growth Fund Sub-Account, Alger American Mid Cap Growth Portfolio Sub-Account, Goldman Sachs Structured US Equity Sub-Account, Goldman Sachs Mid Cap Value Fund Sub-Account, MFS/Sun Life Series Trust Massachusetts Investors Trust Series Sub-Account, MFS/Sun Life Series Trust Government Securities Series Sub-Account, MFS/Sun Life Series Trust High Yield Series Sub-Account, MFS/Sun Life Series Trust New Discovery Series Sub-Account, MFS/Sun Life Series Trust Total Return Series Sub-Account, MFS/Sun Life Series Trust Utilities Series Sub-Account, MFS/Sun Life Series Trust Value Series Sub-Account, Sun Capital Investment Grade Bond Fund Sub-Account, Sun Capital Real Estate Fund Sub-Account, Sun Capital Blue Chip Mid-Cap Fund Sub-Account, Sun Capital Davis Venture Value Fund Sub-Account, Sun Capital Oppenheimer Main Street Small Cap Fund Sub-Account, AllianceBernstein VP Growth and Income Portfolio Sub-Account, Fidelity VIP Index 500 Portfolio Sub-Account, Fidelity VIP Money Market Portfolio Sub-Account, Fidelity VIP Contrafund Portfolio Sub-Account, Fidelity VIP Overseas Portfolio Sub-Account, Fidelity VIP Growth Portfolio Sub-Account, Franklin Templeton Foreign Securities Sub-Account, PIMCO High Yield Portfolio Sub-Account, PIMCO Emerging Markets Bond Portfolio Sub-Account, PIMCO Real Return Portfolio Sub-Account, PIMCO Total Return Portfolio Sub-Account, PIMCO Low Duration Fund Sub-Account, Scudder VIT Small Cap Index Fund Sub-Account, Scudder SVS Dreman Small Cap Value Portfolio Sub-Account, Dreyfus MidCap Stock Portfolio Sub-Account, Lord Abbett Growth and Income Portfolio Sub-Account, Lord Abbett Mid-Cap Value Portfolio Sub-Account, Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund Sub-Account, Van Kampen LIT Growth & Income Portfolio Sub-Account and T. Rowe Price Blue Chip Growth Portfolio Sub-Account (collectively the "Funds" or "Sub-Accounts").

The Variable Account exists in accordance with the regulations of the New York State Insurance Department.  The assets and liabilities of the Variable Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the Sponsor’s other assets and liabilities.  Assets applicable to the Variable Account are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business the Sponsor may conduct.

(2) Significant Accounting Policies

General

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Sponsor’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of investment income, realized and unrealized gains or losses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Valuations

Investments in the Funds are recorded at their net asset value and are carried at fair value.  Transactions are recorded on a trade date basis.  Realized gains and losses on sales of shares of the Funds are determined on the identified cost basis.  Dividend income and realized gain distributions received by the Sub-Accounts are reinvested in additional Fund shares and are recognized on the ex-distribution date.

Federal Income Tax Status

The operations of the Variable Account are part of the operations of the Sponsor and are not taxed separately. The Sponsor qualifies for the federal income tax treatment granted to life insurance companies under Subchapter L of the Internal Revenue Code.  Under existing federal income tax law, investment income and realized gain distributions earned by the Variable Account on the contracts are not subject to tax.  The Sponsor will review periodically the status of this policy in the event of changes in the tax law.  A provision may be made in future years for any federal income taxes that would be attributed to the contracts.

 (3) Contract Charges and Related Party Transactions

Contract Charges

The Sponsor sells both a Survivorship Variable Universal Life Insurance Product ("Survivorship Product") and Single Life Variable Universal Life Products ("Single Life Products").  The contract charges for these products are as follows:

Mortality and Expense Risk – A mortality and expense risk charge based on the value of the Variable Account is deducted at the monthly anniversary date from the contract’s account value, through the reduction of unit values for the mortality and expense risks assumed by the Sponsor.  The maximum deduction is at an effective annual rate of .60%, for policy years one through 10 for the Single Life Products, and policy years one through 15 for the Survivorship Product.  Thereafter, the effective annual rate is .10% for the Single Life Products and .20% for the Survivorship Product, respectively.

Administration Charges - For the Single Life Products, a monthly charge of $8 is deducted in all policy years, as well as a monthly charge based on the specified face amount is deducted in the first 10 policy years, and for the first 10 policy years following the effective date of each specified face amount increase.  For the Survivorship Product, the monthly expense charge is deducted for the first 10 policy years, and for the first 10 policy years following the effective date of each specified face amount increase.  The charge is based on the specified face amount or increase thereof, times a rate determined by the age, sex and rating class of each insured.  These monthly charges are deducted from each contract’s account value to cover administrative expenses and issuance costs.

Charges for Life Insurance Protection – A monthly cost of insurance charge is deducted from the contract’s account value to cover anticipated costs of providing insurance coverage.  The charge is based on the length of time a policy has been in force and other factors, including issue age, sex, and rating class of each insured, and will not exceed the guaranteed maximum monthly cost of insurance rates based on the 1980 Commissioner’s Standard Ordinary smoker and non-smoker mortality tables.

Sales Charge - The Sponsor deducts a sales charge from premiums at the time of purchase.  For the Single Life Products the current charge is 5.25% of the amount of premium.  The maximum charge is guaranteed not to exceed 7.25%.  For the Survivorship Product, the charge is based on certain factors, including the specified face amount, age, sex, and rating class of the insured.  The current charge is 6% of premiums, and is guaranteed not to exceed 8%.

Surrender Charge - A surrender charge may be deducted to cover certain expenses relating to the sale of the contract.  The surrender charge is based on certain factors, including the specified face amount, the insured’s age, sex and rating class.

* The effective date of the Variable Account D investment options was October 25, 2003 however sales did not commence until April 7, 2004.
 
**  These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the Sub-Account from the underlying mutual fund, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses that result in the direct reduction in the unit values. The recognition of investment income by the Sub-Account is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the Sub-Account invests. Balances have been annualized for Sub-Accounts in existence for less than one year.
 
***  These amounts represent the total return for the period indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund.
The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units; inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented. Investment options with a date notation indicate the effective date of that investment option in the variable account. The total return is calculated for the period indicated, or for the period commencing with the first trade date within the fund to the end of the reporting period.
 
[a] Effective May 1, 2006, Goldman Sachs Mid Cap Value Fund is closed to new premium or transfers.
 
[b] Activity within Sub-Account commenced in May 2006.
 
[c] On January 9, 2006, Oppenheimer Funds, Inc., replaced Oppenheimer Cap Advisors as subadviser to the Fund.
 
[d] The effective date of these investment options in Variable Account D is August 6, 2004.

(6) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, (FIN 48) “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”.  FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109.  “Accounting for Income Taxes”.  This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  It also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.  FIN 48 is effective during the first required financial reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.  Management of the Sub-Account is currently evaluating the impact of applying the various provisions of FIN 48.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, (FAS 157) “Fair Value Measurements”.  FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements.  FAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  Management of the Sub-Account is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 157 will have on the Variable Account’s financial statement disclosures.

To the Participants of Sun Life (N.Y.) Variable Account D and the Board of Directors of Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York:

We have audited the accompanying statements of condition of AIM V.I. International Growth Fund Sub-Account, Alger American Mid Cap Growth Portfolio Sub-Account, Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund Sub-Account, Goldman Sachs Mid Cap Value Fund Sub-Account, MFS/Sun Life Massachusetts Investors Trust Series Sub-Account, MFS/Sun Life Government Securities Series Sub-Account, MFS/Sun Life High Yield Series Sub-Account, MFS/Sun Life New Discovery Series Sub-Account, MFS/Sun Life Total Return Series Sub-Account, MFS/Sun Life Utilities Series Sub-Account, MFS/Sun Life Value Series Sub-Account, Sun Capital Investment Grade Bond Fund Sub-Account, Sun Capital Real Estate Fund Sub-Account, Sun Capital Blue Chip Mid-Cap Fund Sub-Account, Sun Capital Davis Venture Value Fund Sub-Account, Sun Capital Oppenheimer Main Street Small Cap Fund Sub-Account, AllianceBernstein VP Growth and Income Portfolio Sub-Account, Fidelity VIP Index 500 Portfolio Sub-Account, Fidelity VIP Money Market Portfolio Sub-Account, Fidelity VIP ContrafundTM Portfolio Sub-Account, Fidelity VIP Overseas Portfolio Sub-Account, Fidelity VIP Growth Portfolio Sub-Account, Franklin Templeton Foreign Securities Fund Sub-Account, PIMCO High Yield Portfolio Sub-Account, PIMCO VIT Emerging Markets Bond Portfolio Sub-Account, PIMCO VIT Real Return Portfolio Sub-Account, PIMCO VIT Total Return Portfolio Sub-Account, PIMCO VIT Low Duration Portfolio Sub-Account, Scudder VIT Small Cap Index Fund Sub-Account, Scudder SVS Dreman Small Cap Value Portfolio Sub-Account, Dreyfus MidCap Stock Portfolio Sub-Account, Lord Abbett Growth & Income Portfolio Sub-Account, Lord Abbett Mid-Cap Value Portfolio Sub-Account, Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Sub-Account, Van Kampen LIT Growth & Income Portfolio Sub-Account and T. Rowe Price Blue Chip Growth Portfolio Sub-Account of Sun Life (N.Y.) Variable Account D (collectively the “Sub-Accounts”), as of December 31, 2006, 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 the years in the period then ended.  These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Sub-Accounts management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement.  The Sub-Accounts are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Sub-Accounts’ internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2006, by correspondence with the custodian.  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 each of the Sub-Accounts as of December 31, 2006, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General

Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York ("the Company") engages in the sale of fixed and variable annuity contracts, individual life and group life insurance, group stop loss and group disability insurance in the state of New York.  These contracts are sold by insurance agents, some of whom are registered representatives of national and regional stock brokerage firms, and brokers.

The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) ("Sun Life U.S").  The Company is also an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada - U.S. Operations Holdings, Inc. ("SLC - U.S. Ops Holdings") and is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life Financial Inc. ("SLF"), a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  SLF and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as "Sun Life Financial."

As of December 31, 2004, SLC – U.S. Ops Holdings was a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada ("SLOC").  SLOC is a life insurance company incorporated in 1865 and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of SLF.  On January 4, 2005, a reorganization was completed under which most of SLOC’s asset management businesses in Canada and the United States were transferred to Sun Life Financial Corp., a newly incorporated wholly-owned subsidiary of SLF.  The Company is now an indirect subsidiary of Sun Life Financial Corp., and continues to be an indirect subsidiary of SLF.

In 2006, the Company established SLNY Private Placement Investment Company I, LLC, a non-insurer investment limited liability corporation.

Basis of Presentation

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

For the Years Ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004

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

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  The most significant estimates are those used in determining fair value of financial instruments, goodwill, deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC"), 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 may enter into transactions involving various types of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, fixed maturity securities, mortgage loans, equity securities, 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 include cash, commercial paper, money market investments, and short term bank participations.  All such investments have been purchased with maturities of three months or less and are considered cash equivalents for purposes of reporting cash flows.

Investments

The Company accounts for its investments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."  At the time of purchase, fixed maturity securities are classified based on the Company’s intent as either held-to-maturity or available-for-sale.  In order for the securities 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 do not meet this criteria are classified as available-for-sale.  Available-for-sale securities are carried at estimated fair value with changes in unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of 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.  The Company does not engage in trading activities.  All of the Company’s fixed maturity securities are classified as available-for-sale.  Included with available-for-sale fixed maturities are mortgage backed securities in To Be Announced ("TBA") form.  The Company records these purchases on the trade date and the corresponding payable is recorded as an outstanding liability in the payable for investments purchased until the settlement date of the transaction.  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 charge on a security if it is determined that the Company will be unable to recover all amounts due under the contractual obligations 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Years Ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004

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

Investments (continued)

Mortgage loans are stated at unpaid principal balances, net of provisions for estimated losses.  Mortgage loans acquired at a premium or discount are carried at amortized values, net of provisions for estimated losses.  Loans include commercial first mortgage loans and 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 each property’s value at the time that the original loan is made.

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

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

Realized gains and losses on the sales of investments are recognized in operations at the date of sale and are determined using the average cost method.  When an impairment of a specific investment is determined to be other-than-temporary, inclusive of changes in the provision for estimated losses on mortgage loans, a realized investment loss is recorded.

Income on investments 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 the investments have performed on a sustained basis for a reasonable period of time, and when, in the judgment of management, the investments are estimated to be fully collectible as to both principal and interest.

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs

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

Although 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 discussed above are reduced.

DAC is also adjusted for amounts relating to unrealized investment gains and losses.  This adjustment, net of tax, is included with unrealized investment gains or losses that are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.  DAC was (decreased) increased by $(0.5) million and $0.8 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, relating to this adjustment.

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

Other Assets

Property, equipment, and leasehold improvements, which are included in other assets, are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation is provided using the straight-line or accelerated method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which generally range from 3 to 10 years.  Amortization of leasehold improvements is calculated using the straight-line method over the lesser of the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvements.

 
Policy liabilities and accruals

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

Policy reserves for annuity contracts include liabilities held for group pension and payout annuity payments and liabilities held for product guarantees on variable annuity products, such as guaranteed minimum death benefits ("GMDB").  Reserves for pension and payout annuity contracts are calculated using the best-estimate interest and decrement assumptions that were set at the time that loss recognition testing resulted in additional reserves.  Loss recognition testing is done periodically to make sure that these assumptions remain adequate.   Reserves for guaranteed minimum death benefits are calculated according to the methodology of American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the "AICPA") Statement of Position 03-1, "Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Nontraditional Long-Duration Contracts and for Separate Accounts" ("SOP 03-1"), whereby the expected benefits provided by the guarantees are spread over the duration of the contract in proportion to the benefit assessments.

Policy reserves for universal life contracts are held for benefit coverages that are not fully provided for in the policy account value.  These include rider coverages, conversions from group policies, and benefits provided under market conduct settlements.

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

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

Contractholder deposit funds consist of policy values that accrue to the holders of universal life-type contracts and investment-related products such as deferred annuities.  The liabilities consist of deposits received plus interest credited, less accumulated policyholder charges, assessments, partial withdrawals and surrenders.  The liabilities are not reduced by surrender charges.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Years Ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004

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

Revenue and Expenses

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

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

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses primarily represent allocated compensation and general and administrative expenses.  Management believes intercompany 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 stand-alone basis.

 
Income Taxes

For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company will file a stand-alone federal income tax return, as it did for years 2005 and 2004.  Taxes are computed under SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."  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 relate primarily 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 and they are generally not subject to liabilities that arise from any other business of the Company.  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 qualified and non-qualified variable annuity contracts.  Assets and liabilities of the separate accounts, representing net deposits and accumulated net investment earnings, less fees, held primarily for the benefit of contractholders, are shown as separate captions in the consolidated financial statements.  Assets held in the separate accounts are carried at market value and the investment risk of such securities is retained by the policyholder.  The activity of the separate accounts is not reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements except for: (1) the fees the Company receives, which are assessed periodically and recognized as revenue when assessed; and, (2) the activity related to the GMDB, guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit ("GMAB") and guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit ("GMWB") which is reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

New and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 108, "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements" ("SAB No. 108"), which addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected financial statement misstatements should be considered in current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires registrants to quantify misstatements using both balance sheet and income statement approaches and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relative quantitative and qualitative factors.  The requirements of SAB No. 108 are effective for annual financial statements covering the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006.  The Company’s adoption of SAB No. 108 during the year ended December 31, 2006 had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In November of 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") 115-1 and 124-1 "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments and its Application to Certain Investments."  This FSP is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005.  The FSP addresses the determination as to when an investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other than temporary, and the measurement of the impairment loss.  The statement also includes accounting guidance for periods subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments.  Adoption of this FSP did not impact the methodology used by the Company to determine and measure impaired investments.  See disclosure in Note 4.

In May of 2005, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3" ("SFAS No. 154").  SFAS No. 154 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.  SFAS No. 154 changes the requirements for the accounting and reporting of a change in accounting principle and applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle.  SFAS No. 154 eliminates the requirement in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20 to include the cumulative effect of a change in accounting in the income statement in the period of change and requires retrospective applications to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the specific period effects or the cumulative effect of the change.  SFAS No. 154 applies to changes required by new accounting pronouncements only when the pronouncement does not include specific transition guidance.  The adoption of SFAS No. 154 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On January 1, 2004, the Company adopted SOP 03-1.  The major provisions of SOP 03-1 that affect the Company require:

o
Establishment of reserves primarily related to death benefit and income benefit guarantees provided under variable annuity contracts;
o
Deferral of sales inducements that meet certain criteria, and amortization using the same method used for DAC; and
o
Reporting and measuring the Company’s interest in its separate accounts as investments.

See Footnote 13 for additional information regarding the impact of adoption of SOP 03-1.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("SFAS No. 159"), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reporting earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions.  SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and all interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements."  The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that SFAS No. 159 may have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted (continued)

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS No. 157"), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and all interim periods within those fiscal years.  Earlier application is permitted provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued interim or annual financial statements for that fiscal year.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that SFAS No. 157 may have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48").  FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.  FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.  The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, of FIN 48 on its consolidated financial statements.

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

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments" ("SFAS No. 155"), an amendment to SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 140. Among other things, SFAS No. 155: (i) permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation; (ii) clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133; (iii) establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation; (iv) clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and (v) amends SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued, or subject to a remeasurement (new basis) event occurring after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. At initial application of SFAS No. 155, the fair value election provided for in paragraph 4(c) may be applied for hybrid financial instruments that were bifurcated under paragraph 12 of SFAS No. 133 prior to the initial application of SFAS No. 155.

In January 2007, the FASB provided a scope exception under SFAS No. 155 for securitized interests that only contain an embedded derivative that is tied to the prepayment risk of the underlying prepayable financial assets, and for which the investor does not control the right to accelerate the settlement.  If a securitized interest contains any other embedded derivative (for example, an inverse floater), then it would be subject to the bifurcation tests in SFAS No. 133, as would securities purchased at a significant premium.  Following the issuance of the scope exception by the FASB, changes in the market value of the Company’s investment securities would continue to be made through other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity.  The Company does not expect that the January 1, 2007 adoption of SFAS No. 155 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.  However, to the extent that certain of the Company’s future investments in securitized financial assets do not meet the scope exception adopted by the FASB, the Company’s future results of operations may exhibit volatility if such investments are required to be bifurcated or marked to market value in their entirety through the income statement, depending on the election made by the Company.

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

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted (continued)

In September of 2005, the AICPA issued Statement of Position 05-1, "Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs in Connection with Modifications or Exchanges of Insurance Contracts" ("SOP 05-1").   SOP 05-1 provides guidance on accounting by insurance companies for DAC on internal replacements other than those specifically described in FASB Statement No. 97, "Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Long-Duration Contracts and for Realized Gains and Losses from the Sale of Investments."  SOP 05-1 is effective for internal replacements occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.  The adoption of SOP 05-1 did not have an impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

2. GOODWILL

Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price paid and the fair value of the net assets acquired in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Keyport Benefit Life Insurance Company ("KBL"), which was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Keyport Life Insurance Company.  KBL was merged into the Company on December 31, 2002.  Goodwill is allocated in total to the Wealth Management Segment.  In accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," goodwill and indefinite-lived assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis.  The Company completed the required impairment tests during the second quarter of 2006 and concluded that these assets were not impaired.

3. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Company has agreements with Sun Life U.S. and certain affiliates, under which the Company receives, as requested, certain investment and administrative services on a cost reimbursement basis.  Expenses under these agreements amounted to approximately $14.5 million, $16.0 million and $11.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

The Company had $1.0 million and $17.9 million due to related parties at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $5.6 million and $0.6 million due from related parties at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

During 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company paid $1.4 million, $1.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in commission fees to an affiliate, Sun Life Financial Distributors, Inc.

During 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company paid $1.5 million, $2.8 million and $2.5 million, respectively, in commission fees to Independent Financial Marketing Group, Inc., an affiliate.

During 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company paid $1.3 million, $1.5 million and 1.4 million, respectively, in investment advisory fees to Sun Capital Advisers LLC, a registered investment adviser and affiliate.

As more fully described in Note 8, the Company has been involved in several reinsurance transactions with SLOC.

As more fully described in Note 10, the Company participates in a pension plan and other post-retirement benefits plan sponsored by Sun Life U.S.

Management believes intercompany 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 stand-alone basis.

Gross gains of $3.4 million, $4.6 million and $17.5 million, and gross losses of $10.2 million, $3.2 million and $7.5 million were realized on the sale of fixed maturities for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Fixed maturities with an amortized cost of approximately $0.5 million and $0.4 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, were on deposit with governmental authorities as required by law.

As of December 31, 2006, 96.2% of the Company’s fixed maturities were investment grade.  Investment grade securities are those that are rated "BBB" or better by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations.  In 2006, $1.5 million of the prior years’ impairment losses were recovered through disposition and are included in net realized losses.  In 2005, no prior years’ losses were recovered through disposition.  In 2004, $0.1 million of the prior years’ impairment losses were recovered through disposition and are included in net realized gains.

The Company discontinued the accrual of income on all of its holdings for issuers in default.  The termination of accrual accounting on these holdings reduced previously accrued income by $0.1 million, $0.3 million and $38,000, for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.  The fair market value of these investments was $4.2 million and $0.2 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.  As of December 31, 2006, the Company did not have any holdings for issuers that were in default.

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 an unrealized loss 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 issuer financial ratios, including leverage and coverage measures specific to an industry and relative to any investment covenants.  Additionally, the Company’s analysis assesses each issuer’s ability to service its debts in a timely fashion, the length of time the security has been in an unrealized loss position, rating agency actions, and any other key developments as well the Company’s ability and intention, if any, to dispose of its position prior to the fair value increasing so as to allow recovery of the Company’s cost.  The Company has a Credit Committee that includes members from its investment, finance and actuarial functions.  The Credit Committee meets and reviews the results of the Company’s impairment analysis on a quarterly basis.

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

Mortgage loans are collateralized by the related properties and generally are no more than 75% of each property’s value at the time that the original loan is made.

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 judgment, the mortgage loan’s value has been impaired, appropriate losses are recorded.  The Company had no restructured mortgage loans at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Mortgage loans comprised the following property types and geographic regions (in 000’s):

The following methods 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 and equity securities: 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.  Equity securities are included within other invested assets within the consolidated balance sheet.

Mortgage: The fair values of mortgage and other loans are estimated by discounting future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

Policy loans: 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.

Contractholder deposit funds: 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.  GMABs or GMWBs are considered to be derivatives under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," and are included in contractholder deposit funds.  The fair value of the embedded derivatives is calculated stochastically using risk neutral scenarios over a fifty-year projection.  Policyholder assumptions are based on experience studies and industry standards.

8. REINSURANCE

The Company had an agreement with SLOC whereby SLOC reinsured the mortality risks of the Company’s group life insurance contracts.  Under this agreement, certain death benefits were reinsured on a yearly-renewable term basis.  The agreement provided that SLOC would reinsure the mortality risks in excess of $50,000 per claim for group life contracts ceded by the Company.  The treaty was commuted effective December 31, 2004.

The Company had an agreement with SLOC whereby SLOC reinsured morbidity risks of a block of the Company’s group long-term disability contracts.  The treaty was commuted effective December 31, 2004.

The Company has an agreement with an unrelated company whereby the unrelated company reinsures the mortality risks of the Company’s group life contracts.  Under this agreement, certain group life mortality benefits are reinsured on a yearly- renewable term basis.  The agreement provides that the unrelated company will reinsure amounts above $700,000 per claim for group life contracts ceded by the Company.

The Company has an agreement with an unrelated company whereby the unrelated company reinsures the morbidity risks of the Company’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 above $4,000 per claim per month for long-term disability contracts ceded by the Company.  The retention limit was raised to $9,000 per claim per month for claims incurred on or after January 1, 2006.

The Company has an agreement with an unrelated company whereby the unrelated company reinsures the morbidity risks of the Company’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 medical stop loss contracts ceded by the Company.  The retention limit was raised to $1,500,000 for policies sold or renewed on or after January 1, 2006.

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

The Company 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 regularly evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentration of credit risk.

9.  SECURITIES LENDING

On May 1, 2006, the Company established a securities lending program which requires the borrower to provide collateral on a daily basis in amounts in excess of 102% of the fair value of the applicable securities loaned.  The Company maintains effective control over all loaned securities and, therefore, continues to report such loaned securities as fixed maturities in its consolidated balance sheet.

Cash collateral received on securities lending transactions is reflected in other invested assets with an offsetting liability recognized in other liabilities for the obligation to return the collateral.  The fair value of collateral held and included in other invested assets was $65.8 million at December 31, 2006.  Fee income earned on securities lending transactions was $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006.

10.  RETIREMENT PLANS

Pension Plan

The Company participates in a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan ("Pension Plan") that is sponsored by Sun Life U.S., which is directly liable for the related obligations.  Benefits under the plan are based on years of service and employees’ average compensation.  The Company is allocated a portion of the Pension Plan’s expenses, or allocated a credit if expected return on plan assets exceeds the Pension Plan’s expenses.  The allocated (credit) expenses were $(38,000), $211,000 and $25,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.  Included in the 2005 allocation is a curtailment charge of $205,000 related to changes in the Pension Plan.

401(k) Savings Plan

The Company participates in a savings plan that qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code ("the 401(k) Plan") sponsored by Sun Life U.S. for which substantially all employees of at least age 21 are eligible to participate at date of hire.  Employer contributions are matched up to a specified amount of the employee’s contributions to the 401(k) Plan.  The Company’s portion of this employer contribution was $45,000, $16,000 and $19,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Other Post-Retirement Benefit Plans

The Company participates in a plan sponsored by Sun Life U.S. that provides certain health, dental and life insurance benefits ("post-retirement benefits") for retired employees and dependents.  Substantially all employees of the participating companies may become eligible for these benefits if they reach normal retirement age, or retire early upon satisfying an alternate age-plus-service condition.  Life insurance benefits are generally set at a fixed amount.  The Company is allocated a portion of these post-retirement benefit plan expenses.  The allocated expenses were $13,000, $8,000 and $13,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

11. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48.  FIN 48 establishes a comprehensive reporting model which addresses how a business entity should recognize, measure, present and disclose uncertain tax positions that the entity has taken or plans to take on a tax return.  FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.  The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, of FIN 48 on its consolidated financial statements.

11. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES (continued)

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.  In August of 2006, the Company was issued an Revenue Agent’s Report for the tax years 2001 through 2002.  The IRS is currently conducting a federal income tax audit of the Company for the tax years 2003 and 2004.  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 consolidated financial statements.  However, the amounts of these tax liabilities are estimates and could be revised in the future.

Beginning in 2007, the Company is eligible to participate in a consolidated federal income tax return with Sun Life U.S. and other affiliates.

12. LIABILITY FOR UNPAID CLAIMS AND CLAIMS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES

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

As a result of changes in estimates of insured events in prior years, the liability for unpaid claims and claims adjustment expense decreased by $1,294 and $3,143 in 2006 and 2005, respectively.  The favorable development experienced in both years was driven mainly by better than expected loss experience in group life.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

13.  LIABILITIES FOR CONTRACT GUARANTEES

On January 1, 2004, the Company adopted the AICPA’s SOP 03-1.  The major provisions of SOP 03-1 that affect the Company require:

o
Establishment of reserves primarily related to death benefit and income benefit guarantees provided under variable annuity contracts.
o
Deferral of sales inducements that meet certain criteria, and amortization using the same method used for DAC.
o
Reporting and measuring the Company’s interest in its separate accounts as investments.

Upon adoption of SOP 03-1 in 2004, the cumulative effect, reported after tax and net of related effects on DAC, decreased net income and stockholder’s equity by $0.9 million.  The reduction in net income was comprised of an increase in benefit reserves (primarily for variable annuity contracts) of $0.9 million, pretax, and a decrease in DAC of $0.5 million, pretax.

The Company offers various guarantees to certain policyholders including a return of no less than (a) total deposits made on the contract adjusted for any customer withdrawals, (b) total deposits made on the contract adjusted for any customer withdrawals plus a minimum return, or (c) the highest contract value on a specified anniversary date minus any customer withdrawals following the contract anniversary.  These guarantees include benefits that are payable in the event of death, upon annuitization, or at specified dates during the accumulation period of an annuity.

The table below represents information regarding the Company’s variable annuity contracts with guarantees at December 31, 2006 (in 000’s):

Because the Company has not issued products that contain a guaranteed minimum income benefit ("GMIB"), there is no requirement for a GMIB reserve as of December 31, 2006 or December 31, 2005.

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

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

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

GMABs or GMWBs are considered to be derivatives under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," and are recorded at fair value through earnings.  The fair value of the embedded derivatives is calculated stochastically using risk neutral scenarios over a fifty-year projection.  Policyholder assumptions are based on experience studies.  The GMAB’s or GMWB’s constituted an asset (a liability) in the amount of $0.4 million and $(0.1) million at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

Sales Inducements

The Company currently offers enhanced or bonus crediting rates to policyholders on certain of its annuity products.  Effective January 1, 2004, upon adoption of SOP 03-1, the expenses associated with offering a bonus are deferred and amortized over the life of the related contract in a pattern consistent with the amortization of DAC. Previously some bonuses were deferred and amortized while others were expensed.

15. SEGMENT INFORMATION

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

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

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

 
Wealth Management

The Wealth Management Segment markets, sells and administers fixed and variable annuity products.

 
Group Protection

16. REGULATORY FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Company is required to file quarterly and annual statements with the New York State Insurance Department prepared on a statutory accounting basis prescribed or permitted by the State of New York.  Statutory net income and capital stock and surplus differ from net income and stockholder’s equity reported in accordance with GAAP for stock life insurance companies primarily because, under statutory basis accounting, policy acquisition costs are expensed when incurred, reserves are based on different assumptions, investments are valued differently, and income tax expense reflects only taxes paid or currently payable.

The Company’s statutory capital and surplus, and net (loss) income were as follows (in 000’s):

(11,841)

17. DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS

The Company’s ability to pay dividends is subject to certain statutory restrictions.  The State of New York has enacted laws governing the payment of dividends to stockholders by domestic insurers.  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 dividends 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 the Company during 2006, 2005 or 2004.

19. 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 the New York state guaranty fund.

 
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 flow of the Company.

Indemnities

In the normal course of business, the Company has entered into agreements that include indemnities in favor of third parties, such as contracts with advisors and consultants, outsourcing agreements, underwriting and agency agreements, information technology agreements, distribution agreements and service agreements.  The Company has also agreed to indemnify its directors and certain of its officers and employees in accordance with the Company’s by-laws.  Due to the nature of these indemnification agreements, it is not possible to estimate the Company’s potential liability.

Lease Commitments

The Company leases various facilities and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases with terms of up to 10 years.  As of December 31, 2006, minimum future lease payments under such leases were as follows (in 000’s):

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of
Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York
Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York and subsidiary (the "Company") as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholder’s equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006.  Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15.  These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York and subsidiary as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2004, the Company adopted the provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position 03-1, "Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Nontraditional Long-Duration Contracts and for Separate Accounts."

ITEM 28.  PERSONS CONTROLLED BY OR UNDER COMMON CONTROL WITH THE DEPOSITOR OR THE REGISTRANT

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

The organization chart of Sun Life Financial is incorporated by reference to Pre-Effective Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement on Form N-6 of Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Variable Account  I, File No. 333-143353, filed September 19, 2007.

None of the companies listed in such organization chart 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 29.  INDEMNIFICATION

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, 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 that 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.
