SPECIAL TERMS

Your Contract is a legal document that uses a number of specially defined terms. We explain most of the terms that we use in this Prospectus in the context where they arise, and some are self-explanatory. In addition, for convenient reference, we have compiled a list of these terms in the Glossary included at the back of this Prospectus as Appendix A. If, while you are reading this Prospectus, you come across a term that you do not understand, please refer to the Glossary for an explanation.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS

The headings in this section correspond to headings in the Prospectus under which we discuss these topics in more detail.

The Annuity Contract

The Futurity Accolade Fixed and Variable Annuity Contract provides a number of important benefits for your retirement planning. During the Accumulation Phase, you make Payments under the Contract and allocate them to one or more Variable Account or Fixed Account options. During the Income Phase, we make annuity payments to you or someone else based on the amount you have accumulated. The Contract provides tax-deferral so that you do not pay taxes on your earnings until you withdraw them. The Contract also provides a basic death benefit if you die during the Accumulation Phase. You may enhance the basic death benefit by purchasing one or more of the optional death benefit riders.

The Accumulation Phase

Under most circumstances, you can buy the Contract with an initial Purchase Payment of $10,000 or more, and you can make additional Purchase Payments of at least $1,000 at any time during the Accumulation Phase. We will not normally accept a Purchase Payment if your Account Value is over $1 million or, if the Purchase Payment would cause your Account Value to exceed $1 million. In addition, we will credit your Contract with Purchase Payment Interest at a rate of 2% to 5% of each Purchase Payment based upon the interest rate option you choose when you apply for your Contract.

Variable Account Options: The Funds

You can allocate your Purchase Payments among Sub-Accounts investing in a number of Fund options. Each Fund is either a mutual fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or a separate series of shares of such a mutual fund. The investment returns on the Funds are not guaranteed. You can make or lose money. You can make transfers among the Funds and the Fixed Account Options.

The Fixed Account Options: The Guarantee Periods

You can allocate your Purchase Payments to the Fixed Account and elect to invest in one or more of the Guarantee Periods we make available from time to time. Each Guarantee Period earns interest at a Guaranteed Interest Rate that we publish. We may change the Guaranteed Interest Rate from time to time, but no Guaranteed Interest Rate will ever be less than the minimum guaranteed rate permitted by law. Once we have accepted your allocation to a particular Guarantee Period, we promise that the Guaranteed Interest Rate applicable to that allocation will not change for the duration of the Guarantee Period. We may offer Guarantee Periods of different durations or stop offering some Guarantee Periods. Once we stop offering a Guarantee Period of a particular duration, future allocations, transfers or renewals into that Guarantee Period will not be permitted.

<R>

Fees and Expenses

</R>

The Contract has insurance features and investment features, and there are costs related to each.

During the Accumulation Phase, we deduct a $35 Annual Account Fee, if your Account Value is less than $100,000 on your Account Anniversary. We will waive the Account Fee if your Contract was fully invested in the Fixed Account during the entire Account Year. After the fifth Contract Year, we may increase the fee, but it will never exceed $50.

We deduct a mortality and expense risk charge of 1.30% of the average daily value of the Contract invested in the Variable Account. We also deduct an administrative charge of 0.15% of the average daily value of the Contract invested in the Variable Account.

If you take more than a specified amount of money out of your Contract, we assess a withdrawal charge against each Purchase Payment withdrawn. The withdrawal charge (also known as a "contingent deferred sales charge") starts at 8% in the first Contract year and declines to 0% after seven years.

Currently, you can make 12 free transfers each year; however, we reserve the right to impose a charge of up to $15 per transfer.

If you elect one or more of the optional death benefit riders, we will deduct, during the Accumulation Phase, an additional charge from the assets of the Variable Account ranging from 0.15% to 0.40% of the average daily value of your Contract, depending upon which optional death benefit rider(s) you elected.

<R>

In addition to the charges we impose under the Contract, there are also charges (which include management fees and operating expenses) imposed by the Funds, depending upon which Fund(s) you have selected.

</R>

The Income Phase: Annuity Provisions

If you want to receive regular income from your annuity, you can select one of a several Annuity Options. Subject to the Maximum Annuity Commencement Date, you can choose to receive annuity payments from either the Fixed Account or from the available Variable Account options. If you choose to have any part of your annuity payments come from the Variable Account, the dollar amount of the payments may fluctuate with the performance of the Funds. You decide when your Income Phase will begin but, once it begins, you cannot change your choice of annuity payment options.

Death Benefit

If you die before the Contract reaches the Income Phase, the beneficiary will receive a death benefit. The amount of the death benefit depends upon your age on the Contract Date and whether you choose the basic death benefit or, for a fee, one or more of the optional death benefit rider. If you are 85 or younger on your Contract Date, the basic death benefit pays the greatest of your Account Value, your total Purchase Payments (adjusted for withdrawals), or your cash Surrender Value, all calculated as of your Death Benefit Date. If you are 86 or older on your Contract Date, the basic death benefit is equal to the Surrender Value. Subject to availability in your state, you may enhance the basic death benefit by electing one or more of the optional death benefit riders. You must make your election before the date on which your Contract becomes effective. The riders are only available if you are younger than 80 on the Contract Date. Any optional death benefit rider election may not be changed after your Contract is issued.

Withdrawals, Withdrawal Charge and Market Value Adjustment

You can withdraw money from your Contract during the Accumulation Phase. You may withdraw a portion of your Account Value each year without the imposition of a withdrawal charge. This "free withdrawal amount" equals the amount of all Purchase Payments made and not withdrawn prior to the last 7 Account Years plus the greater of (1) your Contract earnings in the prior Account Year and (2) 10% of all Purchase Payments made in the last 7 Account Years (including the current Account Year). All other Purchase Payments are subject to the withdrawal charge. Withdrawals made from the Fixed Account may also be subject to a Market Value Adjustment (see prospectus under "Market Value Adjustment"). You may also have to pay income taxes and tax penalties on money you withdraw.

Right to Return

Your Contract contains a "free look" provision. If you can cancel your Contract within 10 days after receiving it, we will send you, depending upon the laws of your state, either the full amount of all of your Purchase Payments or your Account Value as of the day we receive your cancellation request. (This amount may be more or less than the original Purchase Payment). We will not deduct a withdrawal charge or a Market Value Adjustment.

Tax Considerations

Your earnings are not taxed until you take them out. If you withdraw money during the Accumulation Phase, earnings come out first and are taxed as income. If you are younger than 59 1/2 when you take money out, you may be charged a 10% federal tax penalty.

5.73%*

*

The expenses shown are for the year ended December 31, 2002, and do not reflect any fee waiver or expense reimbursement.

The advisers and/or other service providers of certain Funds have agreed to reduce their fees and/or reimburse the Funds' expenses in order to keep the Funds' expenses below specified limits. The expenses of certain Funds are reduced by contractual fee reduction and expense reimbursement arrangements that will remain in effect at least through May 1, 2004. Other Funds have voluntary fee reduction and/or expense reimbursement arrangements that may be terminated at any time. The minimum and maximum Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses for all Funds after all fee reductions and expense reimbursements are 0.65% and 3.88 %, respectively. Each fee reduction and/or expense reimbursement arrangement is described in the relevant Fund's prospectus.

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

EXAMPLE

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include contract Owner transaction expenses, contract fees, variable account annual expenses, and Fund fees and expenses.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated and that your Contract includes the maximum charges for optional benefits. If these optional benefits were not elected or fewer options were elected, the expense figures shown below would be lower. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and assumes the maximum fees and expenses of any of the Funds. In addition, this Example assumes no transfers were made and no premium taxes were deducted. If these arrangements were considered, the expenses shown would be higher. This Example also does not take into consideration any fee waiver or expense reimbursement arrangement of the Funds. If these arrangements were taken into consideration, the expenses shown would be lower.

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

(1)

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

1 year

3 years

5 years

10 years

         
 

$1,312

$2,705

$4,039

$6,886

(2)

If you annuitize your Contract or if you do not surrender your Contract at the end of the applicable time period:

 

1 year

3 years

5 years

10 years

         
 

$592

$2,105

$3,544

$6,886

The fee table and example should not be considered a representation of past or future expenses and charges of the Sub-accounts. Your actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown. The example does not include the deduction of state premium taxes, which may be assessed upon full surrender, death or annuitization, or any taxes and penalties you may be required to pay if you surrender the Contract. Similarly, the 5% annual rate of return assumed in the example is not intended to be representative of past or future investment performance. For more information about Fund expenses, including a description of any applicable fee waiver or expense reimbursement arrangement, see the prospectuses for the Funds.

The Contract is available on a group basis and, in certain states, may be available on an individual basis. We issue an Individual Contract directly to the individual Owner of the Contract. We issue a Group Contract to the Owner covering all individuals participating under the Group Contract; each individual receives a Certificate that evidences his or her participation under the Group Contract.

In this Prospectus, unless we state otherwise, we refer to both the Owners of individual Contracts and participating individuals under Group Contracts as "Participants" and we address all Participants as "you"; we use the term "Contracts" to include Individual Contracts, Group Contracts, and Certificates issued under Group Contracts. For the purpose of determining benefits under both Individual Contracts and Group Contracts, we establish an Account for each Participant, which we will refer to as "your" Account or a "Participant Account."

Your Contract provides a number of important benefits for your retirement planning. It has an Accumulation Phase, during which you make Payments under the Contract and allocate them to one or more Variable Account or Fixed Account options, and an Income Phase, during which we make annuity payments based on the amount you have accumulated. Your Contract provides tax deferral, so that you do not pay taxes on your earnings under your Contract until you withdraw them. It provides a basic death benefit if you die during the Accumulation Phase; you may enhance the basic death benefit by electing one or more optional death benefit riders and paying an additional charge for each optional death benefit rider you elect. Finally, if you so elect, during the Income Phase we will make annuity payments to you or someone else for life or for another period that you choose.

You choose these benefits on a variable or fixed basis or a combination o both. When you choose Variable Account investment options or a Variable Annuity option, your benefits will be responsive to changes in the economic environment, including inflationary forces and changes in rates of return available from different types of investments. With these variable options, you assume all investment risk under your Contract. When you choose a Guarantee Period in our Fixed Account or a Fixed Annuity option, we assume the investment risk, except in the case of early withdrawals in the Accumulation Phase, where you bear the risk of unfavorable interest rate changes. You may also bear the risk that the interest rates we will offer in the future and the rates we will use in determining your Fixed Annuity may not exceed our minimum guaranteed rate. Our minimum guaranteed interest rate will never be less than that permitted by law.

The Contract is designed for use in connection with retirement and deferred compensation plans, some of which qualify for favorable federal income tax treatment under Sections 401, 403, 408 or 408A of the Internal Revenue Code. The Contract is also designed so that it may be used in connection with certain non-tax-qualified retirement plans, such as payroll savings plans and such other groups (trusteed or nontrusteed) as may be eligible under applicable law. We refer to Contracts used with plans that receive favorable tax treatment as "Qualified Contracts," and all other contracts as "Non-Qualified Contracts."

COMMUNICATING TO US ABOUT YOUR CONTRACT

All materials sent to us, including Purchase Payments, must be sent to our Annuity Mailing Address as set forth on the first page of this Prospectus. For all telephone communications, you must call (888) 786-2435.

Unless this Prospectus states differently, we will consider all materials sent to us and all telephone communications to be received on the date we actually receive them at our Annuity Mailing Address. However, we will consider all financial transactions, including Purchase Payments, withdrawal requests and transfer instructions, to be received on the next Business Day if we receive them (1) on a day that is not a Business Day or (2) after 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time.

When we specify that notice to us must be in writing, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to accept notice in another form.

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

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

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

THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT

We established the Variable Account as a separate account on July 13, 1989, pursuant to a resolution of our Board of Directors. The Variable Account funds the Contract and various other variable annuity and variable life product contracts which we offer. These other products may have features, benefits and charges that are different from those under the Contract.

Under Delaware insurance law and the Contract, the income, gains or losses of the Variable Account are credited to or charged against the assets of the Variable Account without regard to the other income, gains or losses of the Company. These assets are held in relation to the Contracts described in this Prospectus and other variable annuity contracts that provide benefits that vary in accordance with the investment performance of the Variable Account. Although the assets maintained in the Variable Account will not be charged with any liabilities arising out of any other business we conduct, all obligations arising under the Contracts, including the promise to make annuity payments, are general corporate obligations of the Company.

The assets of the Variable Account are divided into Sub-Accounts. Each Sub-Account invests exclusively in shares of a specific Fund. All amounts allocated to the Variable Account will be used to purchase Fund shares as designated by you at their net asset value. Any and all distributions made by the Funds with respect to the shares held by the Variable Account will be reinvested to purchase additional Fund shares at their net asset value. Deductions will be made from the Variable Account for cash withdrawals, annuity payments, death benefits, Account Fees, Contract charges against the assets of the Variable Account for the assumption of mortality and expense risks, administrative expenses and any applicable taxes. The Variable Account will be fully invested in Fund shares at all times.

VARIABLE ACCOUNT OPTIONS: THE FUNDS

<R>

The Contract offers Sub-Accounts that invest in a number of Fund investment options. Each Fund is a mutual fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, or a separate series of shares of such a mutual fund.

More comprehensive information about the Funds, including a discussion of their management, investment objectives, expenses, and potential risks, is found in the current prospectuses for the Funds (the "Fund Prospectuses"). The Fund Prospectuses should be read in conjunction with this prospectus before you invest. A copy of each Fund Prospectus, as well as a Statement of Additional Information for each Fund, may be obtained without charge from the Company by calling 1-888-786-2435 or by writing to Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.), P.O. Box 9133, Wellesley Hills Massachusetts 02481.

</R>

The Funds may also be available to registered separate accounts offering variable annuity and variable life products of other affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies, as well as to the Variable Account and other separate accounts of the Company. Although we do not anticipate any disadvantages to this, there is a possibility that a material conflict may arise between the interests of the Variable Account and one or more of the other separate accounts participating in the Funds. A conflict may occur due to a change in law affecting the operations of variable life and variable annuity separate accounts, differences in the voting instructions of the Participants and Payees and those of other companies, or some other reason. In the event of conflict, we will take any steps necessary to protect Participants and Payees, including withdrawal of the Variable Account from participation in the underlying Funds which are involved in the conflict or substitution of shares of other Funds.

Certain of the investment advisers, transfer agents, or underwriters to the Funds may reimburse us for administrative costs in connection with administering the Funds as options under the Contracts.

<R>

These amounts are not charged to the Funds or Participants, but are paid from assets of the advisers, transfer agents, or underwriters, except for the administrative costs of the Lord Abbett Series Trust Portfolios and the Rydex Funds, which are paid from Fund assets and reflected under "Fees and Expenses."

</R>

Certain publicly available mutual funds may have similar investment goals and principal investment policies and risks as one or more of the Funds, and may be managed by a Fund's portfolio manager(s). While a Fund may have many similarities to these other funds, its investment performance will differ from their investment performance. This is due to a number of differences between a Fund and these similar products, including differences in sales charges, expense ratios and cash flows.

THE FIXED ACCOUNT

The Fixed Account is made up of all the general assets of the Company other than those allocated to any separate account. Amounts you allocate to Guarantee Periods become part of the Fixed Account, and are available to fund the claims of all classes of our customers, including claims for benefits under the Contracts.

We will invest the assets of the Fixed Account in those assets we choose that are allowed by applicable state insurance laws. In general, these laws permit investments, within specified limits and subject to certain qualifications, in federal, state and municipal obligations, corporate bonds, preferred and common stocks, real estate mortgages, real estate and certain other investments. We intend to invest primarily in investment-grade fixed income securities (i.e. rated by a nationally recognized rating service within the 4 highest grades) or instruments we believe are of comparable quality.

We are not obligated to invest amounts allocated to the Fixed Account according to any particular strategy, except as may be required by applicable state insurance laws. You will not have a direct or indirect interest in the Fixed Account investments.

THE FIXED ACCOUNT OPTIONS: THE GUARANTEE PERIODS

You may elect one or more Guarantee Period(s) from those we make available. From time to time, we may offer Guarantee Periods of different durations or stop offering some Guarantee Periods. Once we stop offering a Guarantee Period of a particular duration, allocations, transfers or renewals into that Guarantee Period will not be permitted. We publish Guaranteed Interest Rates for each Guarantee Period offered. We may change the Guaranteed Interest Rates we offer from time to time, but no Guaranteed Interest Rate will ever be less than the minimum guaranteed rate permitted by state law. Also, once we have accepted your allocation to a particular Guarantee Period, we promise that the Guaranteed Interest Rate applicable to that allocation will not change for the duration of the Guarantee Period.

We determine Guaranteed Interest Rates at our discretion. We do not have a specific formula for establishing the rates for different Guarantee Periods. Our determination will be influenced by the interest rates on fixed income investments in which we may invest amounts allocated to the Guarantee Periods. We will also consider other factors in determining these rates, including regulatory and tax requirements, sales commissions and administrative expenses borne by us, general economic trends and competitive factors. We cannot predict the level of future interest rates.

We may from time to time at our discretion offer interest rate specials for new Purchase Payments that are higher than the rates we are then offering for renewals or transfers.

Early withdrawals from your allocation to a Guarantee Period, including cash withdrawals, transfers, and commencement of an annuity option, may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment, which could decrease or increase the value of your Account. See "Withdrawals, Withdrawal Charge and Market Value Adjustment."

THE ACCUMULATION PHASE

During the Accumulation Phase of your Contract, you make Payments into your Account, and your earnings accumulate on a tax-deferred basis. The Accumulation Phase begins with our acceptance of your first Purchase Payment and ends the Business Day before your Annuity Commencement Date. The Accumulation Phase will end sooner if you surrender your Contract or the "Covered Person" dies before the Annuity Commencement Date.

Issuing Your Contract

When you purchase a Contract, a completed Application and the initial Purchase Payment are sent to us for acceptance. When we accept an Individual Contract, we issue the Contract to you. When we accept a Group Contract, we issue the Contract to the Owner; we issue a Certificate to you as a Participant.

We will credit your initial Purchase Payment to your Account within 2 business days of receiving your completed Application. If your Application is not complete, we will notify you. If we do not have the necessary information to complete the Application within 5 business days, we will send your money back to you or ask your permission to retain your Purchase Payment until the Application is made complete. Then we will apply the Purchase Payment within 2 business days of when the Application is complete.

 

 

 

Amount and Frequency of Purchase Payments

The amount of Purchase Payments may vary; however, we will not accept an initial Purchase Payment of less than $10,000, and each additional Purchase Payment must be at least $1,000, unless we waive these limits. In addition, we will not accept a Purchase Payment if your Account Value is over $2 million, or if the Purchase Payment would cause your Account Value to exceed $2 million, unless we have approved the Payment in advance. Within these limits, you may make Purchase Payments at any time during the Accumulation Phase.

Allocation of Net Purchase Payments

You may allocate your Purchase Payments among the different Sub-Accounts and Guarantee Periods we offer, but any allocation to a Guarantee Period must be at least $1,000. Over the life of your Contract, you may allocate amounts among as many as 18 of the available options.

In your Application, you may specify the percentage of each Purchase Payment to be allocated to each Sub-Account or Guarantee Period. These percentages are called your allocation factors. Your allocation factors will remain in effect as long as your selected Sub-Accounts and Guarantee Periods continue to be available for investment. You may, however, change the allocation factors for future Payments by sending us notice of the change in a form acceptable to us. We will use your new allocation factors for the first Purchase Payment we receive with or after we have received notice of the change, and for all future Purchase Payments, until we receive another change notice.

Although it is currently not our practice, we may deduct applicable premium taxes or similar taxes from your Purchase Payments (see "Contract Charges -- Premium Taxes"). In that case, we will credit your Net Purchase Payment, which is the Purchase Payment minus the amount of those taxes.

Your Account

When we accept your first Purchase Payment, we establish an Account for you, which we maintain throughout the Accumulation Phase of your Contract.

Your Account Value

Your Account Value is the sum of the value of the 2 components of your Contract: the Variable Account portion of your Contract ("Variable Account Value") and the Fixed Account portion of your Contract ("Fixed Account Value"). These 2 components are calculated separately, as described under "Variable Account Value" and "Fixed Account Value."

Purchase Payment Interest

We will credit your Contract with interest at the rate you selected when you applied for the Contract. Currently, we offer 2 interest rate options:

 

Option A: The 2% Five-Year Anniversary Interest Option -- Under this option we will credit your Contract with interest at a rate of 2% of each Purchase Payment received prior to the first Account Anniversary. In addition, if you chose this option, we will credit your Contract with interest at a rate of 2% of the Account Value at the end of every Fifth-Year Anniversary.

 

Option B: The 3%, 4% or 5% Interest Option -- Under this option we will credit your Contract with interest at the following rates:

o

3% of each Purchase Payment if the sum of all Purchase Payments, reduced by the sum of all withdrawals (your "Net Purchase Payments"), is less than $100,000 on the day we receive the Purchase Payment;

   

o

4% of each Purchase Payment if your Net Purchase Payments is $100,000 or more but less than $500,000 on the day we receive the Purchase Payment; and

   

o

5% of each Purchase Payment if your Net Purchase Payments are $500,000 or more on the day we receive the Purchase Payment.

 

If you chose this Option B, there may be an additional credit paid at the end of the first Account Year. If your Net Purchase Payments at the end of your first Account Year are greater than or equal to $100,000, but less than $500,000, and some of your Net Purchase Payment(s) received a credit of 3% (rather than 4%), then an additional 1% will be paid on the amount of Net Purchase Payments that received the 3% credit. Similarly, if your Net Purchase Payments at the end of your first Account Year are greater than or equal to $500,000 and some of your Purchase Payment(s) received a credit of either 3% or 4% (rather than 5%), then an additional 2% or 1% will be paid on the amount of Net Purchase Payments that received a 3% credit or a 4% credit, respectively.

We credit Purchase Payment Interest during the same Valuation Period in which we receive the Purchase Payment. We allocate the Purchase Payment Interest to the Sub-Accounts and/or the Guarantee Periods in the same proportion as the Net Purchase Payment is allocated. For any additional 1% or 2% interest credit under Option B or any Fifth-Year Anniversary credit under Option A, we allocate the credit on a pro rata basis to all Sub-Accounts and/or Guarantee Periods in which you are invested, excluding any Guarantee Periods established to support a dollar-cost averaging program. Any additional interest adjustments will be credited on your Account Anniversary.

The Contracts are designed to give the most value to Participants with long-term investment goals. We will deduct the "Adjusted" Purchase Payment Interest if the Contract is returned during the "free look period." For a description of the free look period and Adjusted Purchase Payment Interest, see "Right to Return." For examples of how we calculate Purchase Payment Interest, see Appendix I.

We may credit Purchase Payment Interest at rates other than those described above on Contracts sold to officers, directors and employees of the Company or its affiliates, registered representatives, and employees of broker-dealers with a current selling agreement with the Company and affiliates of such representatives and broker-dealers, employees of affiliated asset management firms, and persons who have retired from such positions ("Eligible Employees") and immediate family members of Eligible Employees. The Company expects to make a profit on Purchase Payment Interest from the mortality and expense risk charge.

We may also credit the Purchase Payment Interest rates described above using different Net Purchase Payment dollar amount thresholds. Any change in the Net Purchase Payment dollar amount thresholds will be offered to all Participants on a prospective basis.

See "Tax Considerations -- Qualified Retirement Plans," if this Contract is to be purchased in connection with a tax qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Code or a tax deferred annuity arrangement under Section 403(b) of the Code.

Variable Account Value

     Variable Accumulation Units

In order to calculate your Variable Account Value, we use a measure called a Variable Accumulation Unit for each Sub-Account. Your Variable Account Value is the sum of your Account Value in each Sub-Account, which is the number of your Variable Accumulation Units for that Sub-Account times the value of each Unit.

     Variable Accumulation Unit Value

The value of each Variable Accumulation Unit in a Sub-Account reflects the net investment performance of that Sub-Account. We determine that value once on each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading, at the close of trading, which is currently 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time. (The close of trading is determined by the New York Stock Exchange.) We also may determine the value of Variable Accumulation Units of a Sub-Account on days the Exchange is closed if there is enough trading in securities held by that Sub-Account to materially affect the value of the Variable Accumulation Units. Each day we make a valuation is called a "Business Day." The period that begins at the time Variable Accumulation Units are valued on a Business Day and ends at that time on the next Business Day is called a Valuation Period. On days other than Business Days, the value of a Variable Accumulation Unit does not change.

To measure these values, we use a factor -- which we call the Net Investment Factor -- which represents the net return on the Sub-Account's assets. At the end of any Valuation Period, the value of a Variable Accumulation Unit for a Sub-Account is equal to the value of that Sub-Account's Variable Accumulation Units at the end of the previous Valuation Period, multiplied by the Net Investment Factor. We calculate the Net Investment Factor by dividing (1) the net asset value of a Fund share held in the Sub-Account at the end of that Valuation Period, plus the per share amount of any dividend or capital gains distribution made by that Fund during the Valuation Period, by (2) the net asset value per share of the Fund share at the end of the previous Valuation Period; then, for each day in the valuation period, we deduct a factor representing the asset-based insurance charges (the mortality and expense risk charges and the administrative expense charge) plus any applicable charge for optional death benefit riders. See "Contract Charges."

For a hypothetical example of how we calculate the value of a Variable Accumulation Unit, see the Statement of Additional Information.

     Crediting and Canceling Variable Accumulation Units

When we receive an allocation to a Sub-Account, either from a Net Purchase Payment or a transfer of Account Value, we credit that amount to your Account in Variable Accumulation Units. Similarly, we cancel Variable Accumulation Units when you transfer or withdraw amounts from a Sub-Account, or when we deduct certain charges under the Contract. We determine the number of Units credited or canceled by dividing the dollar amount by the Variable Accumulation Unit value for that Sub-Account at the end of the Valuation Period during which the transaction or charge is effective.

Fixed Account Value

Your Fixed Account value is the sum of all amounts allocated to Guarantee Periods, either from Net Purchase Payments, transfers or renewals, plus interest credited on those amounts, and minus withdrawals, transfers out of Guarantee Periods, and any deductions for charges under the Contract taken from your Fixed Account Value.

A Guarantee Period begins the day we apply your allocation and ends when the number of calendar years (or months if the Guarantee Period is less than one year) in the Guarantee Period (measured from the end of the calendar month in which the amount was allocated to the Guarantee Period) have elapsed. The last day of the Guarantee Period is its Renewal Date.

Each additional Purchase Payment, transfer or renewal credited to your Fixed Account value will result in a new Guarantee Period with its own Renewal Date. Amounts allocated at different times to Guarantee Periods of the same duration may have different Renewal Dates.

     Crediting Interest

We credit interest on amounts allocated to a Guarantee Period at the applicable Guaranteed Interest Rate for the duration of the Guarantee Period. During the Guarantee Period, we credit interest daily at a rate that yields the Guaranteed Interest Rate on an annual effective basis.

     Guarantee Amounts

Each separate allocation you make to a Guarantee Period, together with interest credited thereon, is called a Guarantee Amount. Each Guarantee Amount is treated separately for purposes of determining the Market Value Adjustment. We may restrict a Guarantee

Period that will extend beyond your Maximum Annuity Commencement Date. Renewals into a Guarantee Period that extends beyond your maximum Annuity Commencement Date will result in an application of a Market Value Adjustment upon annuitization or withdrawals. Each new allocation to a Guarantee Period must be at least $1,000.

     Renewals

We will notify you in writing between 45 and 75 days before the Renewal Date for any Guarantee Amount. If you would like to change your Fixed Account option, we must receive from you prior to the Renewal Date:

o

written notice electing a different Guarantee Period from among those we then offer, or

   

o

written instructions to transfer the Guarantee Amount to one or more Sub-Accounts, in accordance with the transfer privilege provisions of the Contract (see "Transfer Privilege.")

If we receive no instructions from you prior to the Renewal Date, we will automatically renew your Fixed Account allocation into a new Guarantee Period of the same duration as the last Guarantee Period. If we are no longer offering a Guarantee Period of the same duration, we will automatically transfer your Fixed Account allocation into the Money Market Sub-Account.

A Guarantee Amount will not renew into a Guarantee Period that will extend beyond your Maximum Annuity Commencement Date. In that case, unless you notify us otherwise, we will automatically renew your Guarantee Amount into the Money Market Sub-Account.

     Early Withdrawals

If you withdraw, transfer, or annuitize an allocation to a Guarantee Period more than 30 days prior to the Renewal Date, we will apply a Market Value Adjustment to the transaction. This could result in an increase or decrease of your Account Value, depending on interest rates at the time. You bear the risk that you will receive less than your principal if the Market Value Adjustment applies.

 

Transfer Privilege

     Permitted Transfers

During the Accumulation Phase, you may transfer all or part of your Account Value to one or more Sub-Accounts or Guarantee Periods then available, subject to the following restrictions:

o

You may not make more than 12 transfers in any Account Year;

   

o

The amount transferred from a Sub-Account must be at least $1,000, unless you are transferring your entire balance in that Sub-Account;

   

o

Your Account Value remaining in a Sub-Account must be at least $1,000;

   

o

The amount transferred from a Guarantee Period must be the entire Guarantee Amount, except for transfers of interest credited during the current Account Year;

   

o

At least 30 days must elapse between transfers to and from Guarantee Periods;

   

o

Transfers to or from Sub-Accounts are subject to terms and conditions that may be imposed by the Funds;

   

o

The total number of Sub-Accounts and Guarantee Periods within an Account may not exceed 18 over the lifetime of the Contract; and

   

o

We impose additional restrictions on market timers, which are further described below.

These restrictions do not apply to transfers made under any approved Optional Program. At our discretion, we may waive some or all of these restrictions.

There is usually no charge imposed on transfers; however, we reserve the right to impose a transfer charge of $15 for each transfer. Transfers out of a Guarantee Period made more than 30 days before the Renewal Date or any time after the Renewal Date will be subject to the Market Value Adjustment described below. Under current law, there is no tax liability for transfers.

     Requests for Transfers

You may request transfers in writing or by telephone. If the request is by telephone, it must be made before the earlier of (a) 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a Business Day, or (b) the close of the New York Stock Exchange on days that the Stock Exchange closes before 4:00 p.m. Otherwise, your transfer request will be effective on the next Business Day. The telephone transfer privilege is available automatically, and does not require your written election. We will require personal identifying information to process a request for a transfer made by telephone. We will not be liable for following instructions communicated by telephone that we reasonably believe are genuine.

Your transfer request will be effective as of the close of the Business Day if we receive your transfer request before the earlier of (a) 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a Business Day, or (b) the close of the New York Stock Exchange on days that the Stock Exchange closes before 4:00 p.m. Otherwise, your transfer request will be effective on the next Business Day.

     Market Timers

The Contracts are not designed for professional market timing organizations or other entities using programmed and frequent transfers. If you wish to employ such strategies, you should not purchase a Contract. Accordingly, transfers may be subject to restrictions if exercised by a market timing firm or any other third party authorized to initiate transfer transactions on behalf of multiple Participants. In imposing such restrictions, we may, among other things, not accept (1) the transfer instructions of any agent acting under a power of attorney on behalf of more than one Participant, or (2) the transfer instructions of individual Participants who have executed pre-authorized transfer forms that are submitted at the same time by market timing firms or other third parties on behalf of more than one Participant. We will not impose these restrictions unless our actions are reasonably intended to prevent the use of such transfers in a manner that will disadvantage or potentially impair the Contract rights of other Participants.

In addition, some of the Funds have reserved the right to temporarily or permanently refuse exchange requests from the Variable Account if, in the judgment of the Fund's investment adviser, the Fund would be unable to invest effectively in accordance with its investment objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected. In particular, a pattern of exchanges that coincide with a market timing strategy may be disruptive to a Fund and therefore may be refused. Accordingly, the Variable Account may not be in a position to effectuate transfers and may refuse transfer requests without prior notice. We also reserve the right, for similar reasons, to refuse or delay exchange requests involving transfers to or from the Fixed Account.

Waivers; Reduced Charges; Credits; Bonus Guaranteed Interest Rates

We may reduce or waive the withdrawal charge, the mortality and expense risk charges, the administrative services charge, or the annual Account Fee, credit additional amounts, or grant bonus Guaranteed Interest Rates in certain situations. These situations may include sales of Contracts (1) where selling and/or maintenance costs associated with the Contracts are reduced, such as the sale of several Contracts to the same Participant, sales of large Contracts, and certain group sales, and (2) to officers, directors and employees of the Company or its affiliates, registered representatives and employees of broker-dealers with a current selling agreement with the Company and affiliates of such representatives and broker-dealers, employees of affiliated asset management firms, and persons who have retired from such positions ("Eligible Employees") and immediate family members of Eligible Employees. Eligible Employees and their immediate family members may also purchase a Contract without regard to minimum Purchase Payment requirements. For other situations in which withdrawal charges may be waived, see "Withdrawals, Withdrawal Charge and Market Value Adjustment."

Optional Programs

     Dollar-Cost Averaging

Dollar-cost averaging allows you to invest gradually, over time, in up to 12 Sub-Accounts. You may select a dollar-cost averaging program at no extra charge by allocating a minimum of $1,000 to a designated Sub-Account or to a Guarantee Period we make available in connection with the program. Amounts allocated to the Fixed Account under the program will earn interest at a rate declared by the Company for the Guarantee Period you select. Previously applied amounts may not be transferred to a Guarantee Period made available in connection with this program. Each month or quarter, as you select, we will transfer the same amount automatically (including a portion of the Purchase Payment Interest) to one or more Sub-Accounts that you choose, up to a maximum of 12 Sub-Accounts. The program continues until your Account Value allocated to the program is depleted or you elect to stop the program. The final amount transferred from the Fixed Account will include all interest earned (excluding Purchase Payment Interest).

No Market Value Adjustment (either positive or negative) will apply to amounts automatically transferred from the Fixed Account under the dollar-cost averaging program. However, if you discontinue or alter the program prior to completion, amounts remaining in the Fixed Account will be transferred to the Sun Capital Money Market Sub-Account, unless you instruct us otherwise, and the Market Value Adjustment will be applied. Any new allocation of a Purchase Payment to the program is treated as commencing a new dollar-cost averaging program and is subject to the $1,000 minimum.

The main objective of a dollar-cost averaging program is to minimize the impact of short-term price fluctuations on Account Value. In general, since you transfer the same dollar amount to the variable investment options at set intervals, dollar-cost averaging allows you to purchase more Variable Accumulation Units (and, indirectly, more Fund shares) when prices are low and fewer Variable Accumulation Units (and, indirectly, fewer Fund shares) when prices are high. Therefore, you may achieve a lower average cost per Variable Accumulation Unit over the long term. A dollar-cost averaging program allows you to take advantage of market fluctuations. However, it is important to understand that a dollar-cost averaging program does not assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market. We do not allow transfers into any of the Guarantee Periods.

     Asset Allocation

One or more asset allocation programs may be available in connection with the Contracts, 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 available asset allocation models, each of which represents a combination of Sub-Accounts with a different level of risk. These 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 programs in the future.

If you elect an asset allocation program, we will automatically allocate your Purchase Payments among the Sub-Accounts represented in the model you choose. By electing an asset allocation program, you thereby authorize us to automatically reallocate your investment options, as determined by the terms of the asset allocation program, to reflect the current composition of the model you have selected, without further instruction, until we receive notification that you wish to terminate the program, or choose a different model.

     Systematic Withdrawal and Interest Out Programs

If you have an Account Value of $10,000 or more, you may select our Systematic Withdrawal Program or our Interest Out Program.

Under the Systematic Withdrawal Program, you determine the amount and frequency of regular withdrawals you would like to receive from your Fixed Account Value and/or Variable Account Value and we will effect them automatically; a Market Value Adjustment may be applicable upon withdrawal. Under the Interest Out Program, we automatically pay to you, or reinvest, interest credited for all Guarantee Periods you have chosen. The withdrawals under these programs are subject to surrender charges. They may also be included as income and subject to a 10% federal tax penalty. You should consult your tax adviser before choosing these options.

You may change or stop either program at any time, by written notice to us.

     Portfolio Rebalancing Program

Under the Portfolio Rebalancing Program, we transfer funds among the Sub-Accounts to maintain the percentage allocation you have selected among these Sub-Accounts. At your election, we will make these transfers on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis.

Portfolio Rebalancing does not permit transfers to or from any Guarantee Period.

     Principal Returns Program

Under the Principal Returns Program, we divide your Purchase Payments and Purchase Payment Interest between the Fixed Account and the Variable Account. For the Fixed Account portion, you choose a Guarantee Period from among those we offer. We then allocate to that Guarantee Period the portion of your Purchase Payment and Purchase Payment Interest necessary so that, at the end of the Guarantee Period, your Fixed Account allocation, including interest, will equal the entire amount of your original Purchase Payment. The remainder of the original Purchase Payment and Purchase Payment Interest will be invested in the Sub-Accounts of your choice. At the end of the Guarantee Period, you will be guaranteed the amount of your Purchase Payment and Purchase Payment Interest (assuming no withdrawals), plus you will have the benefit, if any, of the investment performance of the Sub-Accounts you have chosen.

WITHDRAWALS, WITHDRAWAL CHARGE AND MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT

Cash Withdrawals

     Requesting a Withdrawal

At any time during the Accumulation Phase you may withdraw in cash all or any portion of your Account Value. To make a withdrawal, you must send us a written request at our Annuity Mailing Address. Your request must specify whether you want to withdraw the entire amount of your Account or, if less, the amount you wish to receive.

All withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge (see "Withdrawal Charge," below), and withdrawals from your Fixed Account Value also may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment (see "Market Value Adjustment," below). Withdrawals also may have adverse federal income tax consequences, including a 10% penalty tax (see "Tax Considerations"). You should carefully consider these tax consequences before requesting a cash withdrawal.

     Full Withdrawals

If you request a full withdrawal, we calculate the amount we will pay you as follows: We start with the total value of your Account at the end of the Valuation Period during which we receive your withdrawal request; we deduct the Account Fee for the Account Year in which the withdrawal is made; we add or subtract the amount of any Market Value Adjustment applicable to your Fixed Account Value; and finally, we deduct any applicable withdrawal charge.

A full withdrawal results in the surrender of your Contract, and cancellation of all rights and privileges under your Contract.

     Partial Withdrawals

If you request a partial withdrawal, we will pay you the actual amount specified in your request and then adjust the value of your Account by deducting the amount paid, adding or deducting any Market Value Adjustment applicable to amounts withdrawn from the Fixed Account, and deducting any applicable withdrawal charge.

You may specify the amount you want withdrawn from each Sub-Account and/or Guarantee Amount to which your Account is allocated. If you do not so specify, we will deduct the total amount you request pro rata, based on your Account Value at the end of the Valuation Period during which we receive your request.

If you request a partial withdrawal that would result in your Account Value being reduced to an amount less than the Account Fee for the Account Year in which you make the withdrawal, we will treat it as a request for a full withdrawal.

     Time of Payment

We will pay you the applicable amount of any full or partial withdrawal within 7 days after we receive your withdrawal request, except in cases where we are permitted, and choose, to defer payment under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and applicable state insurance law. Currently, we may defer payment of amounts you withdraw from the Variable Account only for the following periods:

o

When the New York Stock Exchange is closed (except weekends and holidays) or when trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;

   

o

When it is not reasonably practical to dispose of securities held by a Fund or to determine the value of the net assets of a Fund, because an emergency exists; or

   

o

When an SEC order permits us to defer payment for the protection of Participants.

We also may defer payment of amounts you withdraw from the Fixed Account for up to 6 months from the date we receive your withdrawal request. We do not pay interest on the amount of any payments we defer.

     Withdrawal Restrictions for Qualified Plans

If your Contract is a Qualified Contract, you should carefully check the terms of your retirement plan for limitations and restrictions on cash withdrawals.

Special restrictions apply to withdrawals from Contracts used for Section 403(b) annuities. See "Tax Considerations -- Tax-Sheltered Annuities."

Withdrawal Charge

We do not deduct any sales charge from your Purchase Payments when they are made. However, we may impose a withdrawal charge (known as a "contingent deferred sales charge") on certain amounts you withdraw. We impose this charge to defray some of our expenses related to the sale of the Contracts, such as commissions we pay to agents, the cost of sales literature, and other promotional costs and transaction expenses.

     Free Withdrawal Amount

In each Account Year you may withdraw a portion of your Account Value -- which we call the "free withdrawal amount" -- before incurring the withdrawal charge. For any year, the free withdrawal amount is equal to the amount of all Purchase Payments made before the last 7 Account Years that you have not previously withdrawn, PLUS the greater of:

o

your Contract's earnings (defined below) during the prior Account Year; and

   

o

10% of the amount of all Purchase Payments you have made during the last 7 Account Years, including the current Account Year.

Any portion of the "free withdrawal amount" that you do not use in an Account Year is not cumulative; that is, it will not be carried forward or available for use in future years.

Your Contract's earnings during the prior Account Year are equal to:

o

the difference between your Account Value at the end of the prior Account Year and your Account Value at the beginning of the prior Account Year, minus

   

o

any Purchase Payments made during the prior Account Year, plus

   

o

any partial withdrawals and charges taken during the prior Account Year.

For an example of how we calculate the "free withdrawal amount," see Appendix C.

     Order of Withdrawal

When you make a withdrawal, we consider the oldest remaining Purchase Payment to be withdrawn first, then the next oldest, and so forth. Once all Purchase Payments are withdrawn, the balance withdrawn is considered to be accumulated value and is not subject to a withdrawal charge.

     Calculation of Withdrawal Charge

We calculate the amount of the withdrawal charge by multiplying the Purchase Payments you withdraw by a percentage. The percentage varies according to the number of Account Years the Purchase Payment has been held in your Account, including the Account Year in which you made the Payment, but not the Account Year in which you withdraw it. Each Payment begins a new 7-year period and moves down a declining surrender charge scale as shown below at each Account Anniversary. Payments received during the current Account Year will be charged 8%, if withdrawn. On your next scheduled Account Anniversary, that Payment, along with any other Payments made during that Account Year, will be considered to be in their second Account Year and will have an 8% withdrawal charge. On the next Account Anniversary, these payments will move into their third Account Year and will have a withdrawal charge of 7%, if withdrawn. This withdrawal charge decreases according to the number of Account Years the Purchase Payment has been held in your Account.

For example, the percentage applicable to withdrawals of a Payment that has been in an Account for more than 2 Account Years but less than 3 will be 7% regardless of the issue date of the Contract.

The withdrawal charge will never be greater than 8% of the excess of Purchase Payments you make under your Contract over the "free withdrawal amount," as defined above.

For a Group Contract, we may modify the withdrawal charges and limits, upon notice to the Owner of the Group Contract. However, any modification will apply only to Accounts established after the date of the modification.

For additional examples of how we calculate withdrawal charges, see Appendix B.

Types of Withdrawals Not Subject to Withdrawal Charge

     Nursing Home Waiver

<R>

If approved by your state, we will waive the withdrawal charge for a full withdrawal if:

o

at least one year has passed since we issued your Contract, and

   

o

you are confined to an eligible nursing home and have been confined there for at least the preceding 180 days, or any shorter period required by your state.

   

o

your confinement to an eligible nursing home began after your Issue Date.

</R>

An "eligible nursing home" means a licensed hospital or licensed skilled or intermediate care nursing facility at which medical treatment is available on a daily basis and daily medical records are kept for each patient. You must provide us with evidence of confinement in the form we determine.

     Minimum Distributions

For each Qualified Contract, the free withdrawal amount in any Account Year will be the greater of the free withdrawal amount described above or any amounts required to be withdrawn to comply with the minimum distribution requirement of the Internal Revenue Code. This waiver of the withdrawal charge applies only to the portion of the required minimum distribution attributable to that Qualified Contract.

     Other Withdrawals

We do not impose the withdrawal charge on amounts you apply to provide an annuity, amounts we pay as a death benefit (except under the Cash Surrender method), or amounts you transfer among the Sub-Accounts, between the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account, or within the Fixed Account.

Market Value Adjustment

We will apply a Market Value Adjustment if you withdraw or transfer amounts from your Fixed Account Value more than 30 days before the end of the applicable Guarantee Period. For this purpose, using Fixed Account Value to provide an annuity is considered a withdrawal, and the Market Value Adjustment will apply. However, we will not apply the Market Value Adjustment to automatic transfers to a Sub-Account from a Guarantee Period as part of our dollar-cost averaging program.

We apply the Market Value Adjustment separately to each Guarantee Amount in the Fixed Account, that is to each separate allocation you have made to a Guarantee Period together with interest credited on that allocation. However, we do not apply the adjustment to the amount of interest credited during your current Account Year. Any withdrawal from a Guarantee Amount is attributed first to such interest.

A Market Value Adjustment may decrease, increase or have no effect on your Account Value. This will depend on changes in interest rates since you made your allocation to the Guarantee Period and the length of time remaining in the Guarantee Period. In general, if the Guaranteed Interest Rate we currently declare for Guarantee Periods equal to the balance of your Guarantee Period (or your entire Guarantee Period for Guarantee Periods of less than one year) is higher than your Guaranteed Interest Rate, the Market Value Adjustment is likely to decrease your Account Value. If our current Guaranteed Interest Rate is lower, the Market Value Adjustment is likely to increase your Account Value.

We determine the amount of the Market Value Adjustment by multiplying the amount that is subject to the adjustment by the following formula:

[(1 + I) / (1 + J + b)] ^ (N/12) -1

where:

I

is the Guaranteed Interest Rate applicable to the Guarantee Amount from which you withdraw, transfer or annuitize;

   

J

is the Guaranteed Interest Rate we declare at the time of your withdrawal, transfer or annuitization for Guarantee Periods equal to the length of time remaining in the Guarantee Period applicable to your Guarantee Amount, rounded to the next higher number of complete years, for Guarantee Periods of one year or more. For any Guarantee Periods of less than one year, J is the Guaranteed Interest Rate we declare at the time of your withdrawal, transfer or annuitization for a Guarantee Period of the same length as your Guarantee Period. If, at that time, we do not offer the applicable Guarantee Period we will use an interest rate determined by straight-line interpolation of the Guaranteed Interest Rates for the Guarantee Periods we do offer;

   

N

is the number of complete months remaining in your Guarantee Period; and

   

b

is a factor that currently is 0% but that in the future we may increase to up to 0.25%. Any increase would be applicable only to Participants who purchase their Contracts after the date of that increase. The "b" factor is the amount that will be used to cover market volatility (I.E., credit risk), basis risk, and /or liquidity costs.

We will apply the Market Value Adjustment to the amount being withdrawn after deduction of any Account Fee, if applicable, but before we impose any withdrawal charge on the amount withdrawn.

For examples of how we calculate the Market Value Adjustment, see Appendix B.

No Market Value Adjustment will apply to Contracts issued in the states of California, Maryland, Oregon, Texas and Washington.

CONTRACT CHARGES

Account Fee

During the Accumulation Phase of your Contract, we will deduct from your Account an annual Account Fee of $35 to help cover the administrative expenses we incur related to the issuance of Contracts and the maintenance of Accounts. We deduct the Account Fee on each Account Anniversary. In Account Years 1 through 5, the Account Fee is $35. After Account Year 5, we may change the Account Fee each year, but the Account Fee will never exceed $50. We deduct the Account Fee pro rata from each Sub-Account and each Guarantee Period, based on the allocation of your Account Value on your Account Anniversary.

We will not charge the Account Fee if:

o

your Account has been allocated only to the Fixed Account during the applicable Account Year; or

   

o

your Account Value is more than $100,000 on your Account Anniversary.

If you make a full withdrawal of your Account, we will deduct the full amount of the Account Fee at the time of the withdrawal. In addition, on the Annuity Commencement Date we will deduct a pro rata portion of the Account Fee to reflect the time elapsed between the last Account Anniversary and the day before the Annuity Commencement Date.

After the Annuity Commencement Date, we will deduct an annual Account Fee of $35 in the aggregate in equal amounts from each Variable Annuity payment we make during the year. We do not deduct any Account Fee from Fixed Annuity payments.

Administrative Expense Charge

We deduct an administrative expense charge from the assets of the Variable Account at an annual effective rate equal to 0.15% during both the Accumulation Phase and the Income Phase. This charge is designed to reimburse us for expenses we incur in administering the Contracts, the Accounts and the Variable Account that are not covered by the annual Account Fee.

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge

During both the Accumulation Phase and the Income Phase, we deduct a mortality and expense risk charge from the assets of the Variable Account at an effective annual rate equal to 1.30%. The mortality risk we assume arises from our contractual obligation to continue to make annuity payments to each Annuitant, regardless of how long the Annuitant lives and regardless of how long all Annuitants as a group live. This obligation assures each Annuitant that neither the longevity of fellow Annuitants nor an improvement in life expectancy generally will have an adverse effect on the amount of any annuity payment received under the Contract. The mortality risk also arises from our contractual obligation to pay a death benefit upon the death of the Participant prior to the Annuity Commencement Date. The expense risk we assume is the risk that the Account Fee and administrative expense charge we assess under the Contracts may be insufficient to cover the actual total administrative expenses we incur. If the amount of the charge is insufficient to cover the mortality and expense risks, we will bear the loss. If the amount of the charge is more than sufficient to cover the risks, we will make a profit on the charge. We expect to make a profit on the excess expense charge associated with the Purchase Payment Interest. We may use this profit for any proper corporate purpose, including the payment of marketing and distribution expenses for the Contracts.

Charges for Optional Death Benefit Riders

If you elect an optional death benefit rider, we will deduct, during the Accumulation Phase, a charge from the assets of the Variable Account depending upon which of the optional death benefit rider(s) you elect.

Premium Taxes

Some states and local jurisdictions impose a premium tax on us that is equal to a specified percentage of the Purchase Payments you make. In many states there is no premium tax. We believe that the amounts of applicable premium taxes currently range from 0% to 3.5%. You should consult a tax adviser to find out if your state imposes a premium tax and the amount of any tax.

In order to reimburse us for the premium tax we may pay on Purchase Payments, our policy is to deduct the amount of such taxes from the amount you apply to provide an annuity at the time of annuitization. However, we reserve the right to deduct the amount of any applicable tax from your Account at any time, including at the time you make a Purchase Payment or make a full or partial withdrawal. We do not make any profit on the deductions we make to reimburse premium taxes.

Fund Expenses

There are fees and charges deducted from each Fund. These fees and expenses are described in the Fund prospectuses and related Statements of Additional Information.

Modification in the Case of Group Contracts

For Group Contracts, we may modify the annual Account Fee, the administrative expense charge and the mortality and expense risk charge upon notice to Owners. However, such modification will apply only with respect to Participant Accounts established after the effective date of the modification.

DEATH BENEFIT

If you die during the Accumulation Phase, we will pay a death benefit to your Beneficiary, using the payment method elected (a single cash payment or one of our Annuity Options). If the Beneficiary is not living on your date of death, we will pay the death benefit in one sum to your estate. We do not pay a death benefit if you die during the Income Phase. However, the Beneficiary will receive any payments provided under an Annuity Option that is in effect.

Amount of Death Benefit

To calculate the amount of your death benefit, we use a "Death Benefit Date." The Death Benefit Date is the date we receive proof of your death in an acceptable form ("Due Proof of Death") if you have elected a death benefit payment method before your death and it remains effective. Otherwise, the Death Benefit Date is the later of the date we receive Due Proof of Death or the date we receive the Beneficiary's election of either payment method or, if the Beneficiary is your spouse, Contract continuation. If we do not receive the Beneficiary's election within 60 days after we receive Due Proof of Death, we reserve the right to provide a lump sum to your Beneficiary.

The amount of the death benefit is determined as of the Death Benefit Date.

The Basic Death Benefit

In general, if you were 85 or younger on your Contract Date (the date we accepted your first Purchase Payment), the death benefit will be the greatest of the following amounts:

(1)

Your Account Value for the Valuation Period during which the Death Benefit Date occurs;

   

(2)

The amount we would pay if you had surrendered your entire Account on the Death Benefit Date; and

   

(3)

Your total Purchase Payments (adjusted for partial withdrawals as described in "Calculating the Death Benefit") as of the Death Benefit Date.

For examples of how to calculate this basic death benefit, see Appendix C.

If you were 86 or older on your Contract Date, the death benefit is equal to amount (2) above. Because this amount will reflect any applicable withdrawal charges and Market Value Adjustment, the basic death benefit may be less than your Account Value.

Optional Death Benefit Riders

Subject to availability in your state, you may enhance the basic death benefit by electing one or more of the following optional death benefit riders. You must make your election before the date on which your Contract becomes effective. You will pay a charge for each optional death benefit rider you elect. (For a description of these charges, see "Charges for Optional Death Benefit Riders.") The riders are available only if you are younger than 80 on the Contract Date. Any optional death benefit rider election may not be changed after your Contract is issued. The death benefit under all optional death benefit riders will be adjusted for all partial withdrawals as described in the Prospectus under the heading "Calculating the Death Benefit." For examples of how the death benefit is calculated under the optional death benefit riders, see Appendices D - H.

     Maximum Anniversary Account Value ("MAV") Rider

Under this rider, the death benefit will be the greater of:

o

the amount payable under the basic death benefit, above, or

   

o

your highest Account Value on any Account Anniversary before your 81st birthday, adjusted for any subsequent Purchase Payments, partial withdrawals and charges made between that Account Anniversary and the Death Benefit Date.

     5% Premium Roll-Up ("5% Roll-Up") Rider

Under this rider, the death benefit will be the greater of:

o

the amount payable under the basic death benefit, above, or

   

o

the sum of your total Purchase Payments plus interest accruals, adjusted for partial withdrawals.

Under this rider, interest accrues at 5% per year on Purchase Payments and transfers to the Variable Account while they remain in the Variable Account. The 5% interest accruals will continue until the earlier of:

o

the first day of the month following your 80th birthday, or

o

the day the death benefit amount under this rider equals twice the total of your Purchase Payments and transferred amounts, adjusted for withdrawals.

     Earnings Enhancement ("EEB") Rider

If you elect this EEB Rider, your death benefit will be the amount payable under the basic death benefit, PLUS the "EEB amount." Calculated as of your Death Benefit Date, the "EEB amount" is determined as follows:

o

If you are 69 or younger on your Contract Date, the "EEB amount" will be 40% of the difference between your Account Value and your Net Purchase Payments, up to a cap of 40% of the Net Purchase Payments made prior to your death.

   

o

If you are between the ages of 70 and 79 on your Contract Date, the "EEB amount" will be 25% of the difference between your Account Value and your Net Purchase Payments, up to a cap of 25% of the Net Purchase Payments prior to your death.

     Earnings Enhancement Plus ("EEB Plus") Rider

If you elect this EEB Plus Rider, your death benefit will be the amount payable under the basic death benefit, PLUS the "EEB Plus amount." Calculated as of the Death Benefit Date, the "EEB Plus amount" is determined as follows:

o

If you are 69 or younger on your Contract Date, the "EEB Plus amount" will be 40% of the difference between your Account Value and your Net Purchase Payments, up to a cap of 100% of the Net Purchase Payments made prior to your death. After the 7th Contract year, the cap is 100% of the difference between your Net Purchase Payments and any Purchase Payments made within the twelve months prior to your death.

   

o

If you are between the ages of 70 and 79 on your Contract Date, the "EEB Plus amount" will be 25% of the difference between your Account Value and your Net Purchase Payments, up to a cap of 40% of the Net Purchase Payments made prior to your death. After the 7th Contract year, the cap is 40% of the difference between your Net Purchase Payments and any Purchase Payments made in the twelve months prior to your death.

     Earnings Enhancement Plus With MAV ("EEB Plus MAV") Rider

If you elect this EEB Plus MAV Rider, your death benefit will be the death benefit payable under the MAV Rider PLUS the "EEB Plus MAV amount." Calculated as of your Death Benefit Date, the "EEB Plus MAV amount" is as follows:

o

If you are 69 or younger on your Contract Date, the "EEB Plus MAV amount" will be 40% of the difference between the death benefit payable under the MAV Rider and your Net Purchase Payments, up to a cap of 100% of Net Purchase Payments made prior to your death. After your 7th Contract year, the cap is 100% of the difference between your Net Purchase Payments and any Purchase Payments made in the twelve months prior to your death.

   

o

If you are between the ages of 70 and 79 on your Contract Date, the "EEB Plus MAV amount" will be 25% of the difference between the death benefit payable under the MAV Rider and your Net Purchase Payments, up to a cap of 40% of Net Purchase Payments made prior to your death. After your 7th Contract year, the cap is 40% of the difference between your Net Purchase Payments and any Purchase Payments made in the twelve months prior to your death.

 

     Earnings Enhancement Plus With 5% Roll-Up ("EEB Plus 5% Roll-Up") Rider

If you elect this EEB Plus 5% Roll-Up Rider, your death benefit will be the death benefit payable under the 5% Roll-Up Rider PLUS the "EEB Plus 5% Roll-Up amount." Calculated as of your Death Benefit Date, the "EEB Plus 5% Roll-Up amount" is determined as follows:

o

If you are 69 or younger on your Contract Date, the "EEB Plus 5% Roll-Up amount" will be 40% of the difference between the death benefit payable under the 5% Roll-Up Rider and your Net Purchase Payments, up to a cap of 100% of Net Purchase Payments made prior to your death. After your 7th Contract year, the cap is 100% of the difference between your Net Purchase Payments and any Purchase Payments made in the twelve months prior to your death.

   

o

If you are between the ages of 70 and 79 on your Contract Date, the "EEB Plus 5% Roll-Up amount" will be 25% of the difference between the death benefit payable under the 5% Roll-Up Rider and your Net Purchase Payments, up to a cap of 40% of Net Purchase Payments made prior to your death. After your 7th Contract year, the cap is 40% of the difference between your Net Purchase Payments and any Purchase Payments made in the twelve months prior to your death.

     Selecting Multiple Death Benefit Riders

The MAV Rider, the 5% Roll-Up Rider and the EEB Rider can be combined. If you elect more than one of these three optional death benefit riders, your death benefit will be calculated as follows:

o

MAV Rider combined with 5% Roll-Up Rider: The death benefit will equal the greater of the death benefit under the MAV Rider and the death benefit under the 5% Roll-Up Rider.

   

o

MAV Rider combined with EEB Rider: The death benefit will equal the death benefit under the MAV Rider, plus the "EEB amount." The "EEB amount" is calculated using the Account Value before the application of the MAV Rider.

   

o

EEB Rider combined with 5% Roll-Up Rider: The death benefit will equal the death benefit under the 5% Roll-Up Rider, plus the "EEB amount." The "EEB amount" is calculated using the Account Value before the application of the 5% Roll-Up Rider.

   

o

MAV Rider, the 5% Roll-Up Rider and the EEB Rider: The death benefit will equal the greater of the death benefit under the MAV Rider or the death benefit under the 5% Roll-Up Rider, plus the "EEB amount." The "EEB amount" is calculated using the Account Value before the application of the 5% Roll-Up Rider and the MAV Rider.

The EEB Plus, EEB Plus MAV and EEB Plus 5% Roll-Up Riders are designed to be "comprehensive" riders and may not be combined with each other or with any of the other death benefit riders.

Spousal Continuance

If your spouse is your Beneficiary, upon your death your spouse may elect to continue the Contract as the Participant, rather than receive the death benefit amount. In that case, we will not pay a death benefit, but the Contract's Account Value will be equal to your Contract's death benefit amount, as defined under the basic death benefit or any rider you have selected. All Contract provisions, including any riders you have selected, will continue as if your spouse had purchased the Contract on the Death Benefit Date with a value equal to the death benefit amount. For purposes of calculating death benefits and expenses from that date forward, the surviving spouse's age on the original effective date of the Contract will be used. Upon surrender or annuitization, this step-up to the spouse will not be treated as premium, but will be treated as income.

Calculating the Death Benefit

In calculating the death benefit amount payable under option (3) of the basic death benefit or any of the optional death benefit riders, any partial withdrawals will reduce the death benefit amount to an amount equal to the death benefit amount immediately before the withdrawal multiplied by the ratio of the Account Value immediately after the withdrawal to the Account Value immediately before the withdrawal.

If the death benefit is the amount payable under options (2) or (3) of the basic death benefit or under any of the optional death benefit riders, your Account Value will be increased by the excess, if any, of that amount over option (1) of the basic death benefit. Any such increase will be allocated to the Sub-Accounts in proportion to your Account Value in those Sub-Accounts on the Death Benefit Date. Also, any portion of this new Account Value attributed to the Fixed Account will be transferred to the Sun Capital Money Market Sub-Account (without the application of a Market Value Adjustment). If your spouse, as the named Beneficiary, elects to continue the Contract after your death, your spouse may transfer any such Fixed Account portion back to the Fixed Account and begin a new Guarantee Period.

Method of Paying Death Benefit

The death benefit may be paid in a single cash payment or as an annuity (either fixed, variable or a combination), under one or more of our Annuity Options. We describe the Annuity Options in this Prospectus under "The Income Phase -- Annuity Provisions."

<R>

During the Accumulation Phase, you may elect the method of payment for the death benefit. These elections are made by sending us at our Service Address an election form, which we will provide. If no such election is in effect on the date of your death, the Beneficiary may elect either a single cash payment or an annuity. If the Beneficiary is the Owner's spouse, the Beneficiary may elect to continue the Contract. This election is made by sending us a letter of instruction. If we do not receive the Beneficiary's election within 60 days after we receive Due Proof of Death, we will pay the death benefit in a single cash payment.

</R>

If we pay the death benefit in the form of an Annuity Option, the Beneficiary becomes the Annuitant/Payee under the terms of that Annuity Option.

Non-Qualified Contracts

If your Contract is a Non-Qualified Contract, special distribution rules apply to the payment of the death benefit. The amount of the death benefit must be distributed either (1) as a lump sum within 5 years after your death or (2) if in the form of an annuity, over a period not greater than the life or expected life of the "designated beneficiary" within the meaning of Section 72(s) of the Internal Revenue Code, with payments beginning no later than one year after your death.

The person you have named as Beneficiary under your Contract, if any, will be the "designated beneficiary." If the named Beneficiary is not living and no contingent beneficiary has been named, the surviving Participant, if any, or the estate of the deceased Participant automatically becomes the designated beneficiary.

If the designated beneficiary is your surviving spouse, your spouse may continue the Contract in his or her own name as Participant. To make this election, your spouse must give us written notification within 60 days after we receive Due Proof of Death. The special distribution rules will then apply on the death of your spouse. To understand what happens when your spouse continues the Contract, see "Spousal Continuance," above.

During the Income Phase, if the Annuitant dies, the remaining value of the Annuity Option(s) in place must be distributed at least as rapidly as the method of distribution under that option.

If the Participant is not a natural person, these distribution rules apply upon the death of any Annuitant.

Payments made in contravention of these special rules would adversely affect the treatment of the Contracts as annuity contracts under the Internal Revenue Code. Neither you nor the Beneficiary may exercise rights that would have that effect.

Selection and Change of Beneficiary

You select your Beneficiary in your Application. You may change your Beneficiary at any time by sending us written notice on our required form, unless you previously made an irrevocable Beneficiary designation. A new Beneficiary designation is not effective until we record the change.

Payment of Death Benefit

Payment of the death benefit in cash will be made within 7 days of the Death Benefit Date, except if we are permitted to defer payment in accordance with the Investment Company Act of 1940. If an Annuity Option is elected, the Annuity Commencement Date will be the first day of the second calendar month following the Death Benefit Date, and your Account will remain in effect until the Annuity Commencement Date.

Due Proof of Death

We accept any of the following as proof of any person's death:

o

An original certified copy of an official death certificate;

   

o

An original certified copy of a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to the finding of death; or

   

o

Any other proof we find satisfactory.

THE INCOME PHASE -- ANNUITY PROVISIONS

During the Income Phase, we make regular monthly annuity payments to the Annuitant.

The Income Phase of your Contract begins with the Annuity Commencement Date. On that date, we apply your Account Value, adjusted as described below, under the Annuity Option(s) you have selected, and we make the first payment.

Once the Income Phase begins, no lump sum settlement option or cash withdrawals are permitted, except pursuant to Annuity Option D, Monthly Payments for a Specified Period Certain, as described below under the heading "Annuity Options," and you cannot change the Annuity Option selected. You may request a full withdrawal before the Annuity Commencement Date, which will be subject to all charges applicable on withdrawals. See "Withdrawals, Withdrawal Charge and Market Value Adjustment."

Selection of the Annuitant or Co-Annuitant

You select the Annuitant in your Application. The Annuitant is the person who receives annuity payments during the Income Phase and on whose life these payments are based. In your Contract, the Annuity Option(s) refer to the Annuitant as the "Payee." If you name someone other than yourself as Annuitant and the Annuitant dies before the Income Phase, you become the Annuitant.

In a Non-Qualified Contract, if you name someone other than yourself as Annuitant, you may also select a Co-Annuitant, who will become the new Annuitant if the original Annuitant dies before the Income Phase. If both the Annuitant and Co-Annuitant die before the Income Phase, you become the Annuitant. If you have named both an Annuitant and a Co-Annuitant, you may designate one of them to become the sole Annuitant as of the Annuity Commencement Date, if both are living at that time. If you have not made that designation on the 30th day before the Annuity Commencement Date, and both the Annuitant and the Co-Annuitant are still living, the Co-Annuitant will become the Annuitant.

When an Annuity Option has been selected as the method of paying the death benefit, the Beneficiary is the Payee of the annuity payment.

Selection of the Annuity Commencement Date

You select the Annuity Commencement Date in your Application. The following restrictions apply to the date you may select:

o

The earliest possible Annuity Commencement Date is the first day of the first month following your first Account Anniversary.

   

o

The latest possible Annuity Commencement Date is the first day of the month following the Annuitant's 95th birthday or, if there is a Co-Annuitant, the 95th birthday of the younger of the Annuitant and Co-Annuitant.

   

o

The Annuity Commencement Date must always be the first day of a month.

You may change the Annuity Commencement Date from time to time by sending us written notice, with the following additional limitations:

o

We must receive your notice at least 30 days before the current Annuity Commencement Date.

   

o

The new Annuity Commencement Date must be at least 30 days after we receive the notice.

There may be other restrictions on your selection of the Annuity Commencement Date imposed by your retirement plan or applicable law. In most situations, current law requires that for a Qualified Contract, certain minimum distributions must commence no later than April 1 following the year the Annuitant reaches age 70 1/2 (or, for Qualified Contracts other than IRAs, no later than April 1 following the year the Annuitant retires, if later than the year the Annuitant reaches age 70 1/2).

Annuity Options

We offer the following Annuity Options for payments during the Income Phase. Each Annuity Option may be selected for a Variable Annuity, a Fixed Annuity, or a combination of both. We may also agree to other settlement options, in our discretion.

     Annuity Option A -- Life Annuity

We provide monthly payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant. Annuity payments stop when the Annuitant dies. There is no provision for continuation of any payments to a Beneficiary.

     Annuity Option B -- Life Annuity With 60, 120, 180 or 240 Monthly Payments Certain

We make monthly payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant. In addition, we guarantee that the Beneficiary will receive monthly payments for the remainder of the period certain, if the Annuitant dies during that period. The election of a longer period results in smaller monthly payments. If no Beneficiary is designated, we pay the discounted value of the remaining payments in one sum to the Annuitant's estate. The Beneficiary may also elect to receive the discounted value of the remaining payments in one sum. The discount rate for a Variable Annuity will be the assumed interest rate in effect; the discount rate for a Fixed Annuity will be based on the interest rate we used to determine the amount of each payment.

     Annuity Option C -- Joint and Survivor Annuity

We make monthly payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant and another person you designate and during the lifetime of the survivor of the two. We stop making payments when the survivor dies. There is no provision for continuance of any payments to a Beneficiary.

     Annuity Option D -- Monthly Payments for a Specified Period Certain

We make monthly payments for a specified period of time from 10 to 30 years, as you elect. If payments under this option are paid on a variable annuity basis, the Annuitant may elect to receive in one sum the discounted value of the remaining payments, less any applicable withdrawal charge; the discount rate for this purpose will be the assumed interest rate in effect. If the Annuitant dies during the period selected, the remaining income payments are made as described under Annuity Option B. The election of this Annuity Option may result in the imposition of a penalty tax.

Selection of Annuity Option

You select one or more of the Annuity Options, which you may change from time to time during the Accumulation Phase, as long as we receive your selection or change in writing at least 30 days before the Annuity Commencement Date. If we have not received your written selection on the 30th day before the Annuity Commencement Date, you will receive Annuity Option B, for a life annuity with 120 monthly payments certain.

You may specify the proportion of your Adjusted Account Value you wish to provide a Variable Annuity or a Fixed Annuity. Under a Variable Annuity, the dollar amount of payments will vary, while under a Fixed Annuity, the dollar amount of payments will remain the same. If you do not specify a Variable Annuity or a Fixed Annuity, your Adjusted Account Value will be divided between Variable Annuities and Fixed Annuities in the same proportions as your Account Value was divided between the Variable and Fixed Accounts on the Annuity Commencement Date. You may allocate your Adjusted Account Value applied to a Variable Annuity among the Sub-Accounts, or we will use your existing allocations.

There may be additional limitations on the options you may elect under your particular retirement plan or applicable law.

Remember that the Annuity Options may not be changed once annuity payments begin.

Amount of Annuity Payments

     Adjusted Account Value

The Adjusted Account Value is the amount we apply to provide a Variable Annuity and/or a Fixed Annuity. We calculate Adjusted Account Value by taking your Account Value on the Business Day just before the Annuity Commencement Date and making the following adjustments:

o

We deduct a proportional amount of the Account Fee, based on the fraction of the current Account Year that has elapsed.

   

o

If applicable, we apply the Market Value Adjustment to your Account Value in the Fixed Account, which may result in a deduction, an addition, or no change.

   

o

We deduct any applicable premium tax or similar tax if not previously deducted.

     Variable Annuity Payments

On the Annuity Commencement Date, we will exchange your Account's Variable Annuity Units for Annuitization Units which have annual insurance charges of 1.45% of your Account's average daily net assets. Variable Annuity payments may vary each month. We determine the dollar amount of the first payment using the portion of your Adjusted Account Value applied to a Variable Annuity and the Annuity Payment Rates in your Contract, which are based on an assumed interest rate of 3% per year, compounded annually. See "Annuity Payment Rates."

To calculate the remaining payments, we convert the amount of the first payment into Annuity Units for each Sub-Account; we determine the number of those Annuity Units by dividing the portion of the first payment attributable to the Sub-Account by the Annuity Unit Value of that Sub-Account for the Valuation Period ending just before the Annuity Commencement Date. This number of Annuity Units for each Sub-Account will remain constant (unless the Annuitant requests an exchange of Annuity Units). However, the dollar amount of the next Variable Annuity payment -- which is the sum of the number of Annuity Units for each Sub-Account times its Annuity Unit Value for the Valuation Period ending just before the date of the payment -- will increase, decrease, or remain the same, depending on the net investment return of the Sub-Accounts.

If the net investment return of the Sub-Accounts selected is the same as the assumed interest rate of 3%, compounded annually, the payments will remain level. If the net investment return exceeds the assumed interest rate, payments will increase and, conversely, if it is less than the assumed interest rate, payments will decrease.

Please refer to the Statement of Additional Information for more information about calculating Variable Annuity Units and Variable Annuity payments, including examples of these calculations.

     Fixed Annuity Payments

Fixed Annuity payments are the same each month. We determine the dollar amount of each Fixed Annuity payment using the fixed portion of your Adjusted Account Value and the applicable Annuity Payment Rates. These will be either (1) the rates in your Contract, which are based on a minimum guaranteed interest rate of 3% per year, compounded annually, or (2) new rates we have published and are using on the Annuity Commencement Date, if they are more favorable. See "Annuity Payment Rates."

     Minimum Payments

If your Adjusted Account Value is less than $2,000, or the first annuity payment for any Annuity Option is less than $20, we will pay the Adjusted Account Value to the Annuitant in one payment.

Exchange of Variable Annuity Units

During the Income Phase, the Annuitant may exchange Annuity Units in one Sub-Account for Annuity Units in another Sub-Account, up to 12 times each Account Year. To make an exchange, the Annuitant sends us, at our Annuity Mailing Address, a written request stating the number of Annuity Units in the Sub-Account he or she wishes to exchange and the new Sub-Account for which Annuity Units are requested. The number of new Annuity Units will be calculated so the dollar amount of an annuity payment on the date of the exchange would not e affected. To calculate this number, we use Annuity Unit values for the Valuation Period during which we receive the exchange request.

Before exchanging Annuity Units in one Sub-Account for those in another, the Annuitant should carefully review the Fund prospectuses for the investment objectives and risk disclosure of the Funds in which the Sub-Accounts invest.

During the Income Phase, we permit only exchanges among Sub-Accounts. No exchanges to or from a Fixed Annuity are permitted.

Account Fee

During the Income Phase, we deduct the annual Account Fee of $35 in equal amounts from each Variable Annuity payment. We do not deduct the annual Account Fee from Fixed Annuity payments.

Annuity Payment Rates

The Contracts contain Annuity Payment Rates for each Annuity Option described in this Prospectus. The rates show, for each $1,000 applied, the dollar amount of: (a) the first monthly Variable Annuity payment based on the assumed interest rate specified in the applicable Contract (at least 3% per year, compounded annually); and (b) the monthly Fixed Annuity payment, when this payment is based on the minimum guaranteed interest rate specified in the Contract (at least 3% per year, compounded annually). We may change these rates under Group Contracts for Accounts established after the effective date of such change (see "Other Contract Provisions -- Modification").

The Annuity Payment Rates may vary according to the Annuity Option(s) elected and the adjusted age of the Annuitant. The Contracts also describes the method of determining the adjusted age of the Annuitant. The mortality table used in determining the Annuity Payment Rates for Options A, B and C is the 1983 Individual Annuitant Mortality Table.

Annuity Options as Method of Payment for Death Benefit

You or your Beneficiary may also select one or more Annuity Options to be used in the event of the Annuitant's death before the Income Phase, as described under the "Death Benefit" section of this Prospectus. In that case, your Beneficiary will be the Annuitant. The Annuity Commencement Date will be the first day of the second month beginning after the Death Benefit Date.

OTHER CONTRACT PROVISIONS

Exercise of Contract Rights

An Individual Contract belongs to the individual to whom the Contract is issued. A Group Contract belongs to the Owner. In the case of a Group Contract, the Owner may expressly reserve all Contract rights and privileges; otherwise, each Annuitant will be entitled to exercise such rights and privileges. In any case, such rights and privileges can be exercised without the consent of the Beneficiary (other than an irrevocably designated Beneficiary) or any other person. Such rights and privileges may be exercised only during the lifetime of the Annuitant before the Annuity Commencement Date, except as the Contract otherwise provides.

The Annuitant becomes the Payee on and after the Annuity Commencement Date. The Beneficiary becomes the Payee on the death of the Covered Person prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, or on the death of the Annuitant after the Annuity Commencement Date. Such Payee may thereafter exercise such rights and privileges, if any, of ownership which continue.

Change of Ownership

Ownership of a Qualified Contract may not be transferred except to: (1) the Annuitant; (2) a trustee or successor trustee of a pension or profit sharing trust which is qualified under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code; (3) the employer of the Annuitant, provided that the Qualified Contract after transfer is maintained under the terms of a retirement plan qualified under Section 403(a) of the Internal Revenue Code for the benefit of the Annuitant; (4) the trustee or custodian of an individual retirement account plan qualified under Section 408 of the Internal Revenue Code for the benefit of the Participants under a Group Contract; or (5) as otherwise permitted from time to time by laws and regulations governing the retirement or deferred compensation plans for which a Qualified Contract may be issued. Subject to the foregoing, a Qualified Contract may not be sold, assigned, transferred, discounted or pledged as collateral for a loan or as security for the performance of an obligation or for any other purpose to any person other than the Company.

The Owner of a Non-Qualified Contract may change the ownership of the Contract prior to the Annuity Commencement Date; and each Participant, in like manner, may change the ownership interest in a Contract. A change of ownership will not be binding on us until we receive written notification. When we receive such notification, the change will be effective as of the date on which the request for change was signed by the Owner or Participant, as appropriate, but he change will be without prejudice to us on account of any payment we make or any action we take before receiving the change. If you change the Owner of a Non-Qualified Contract, you will become immediately liable for the payment of taxes on any gain realized under the Contract prior to the change of ownership, including possible liability for a 10% federal excise tax.

Voting of Fund Shares

We will vote Fund shares held by the Sub-Accounts at meetings of shareholders of the Funds or in connection with similar solicitations, but will follow voting instructions received from persons having the right to give voting instructions. During the Accumulation Phase, you will have the right to give voting instructions, except in the case of a Group Contract where the Owner has reserved this right. During the Income Phase, the Payee -- that is the Annuitant or Beneficiary entitled to receive benefits -- is the person having such voting rights. We will vote any shares attributable to us and Fund shares for which no timely voting instructions are received in the same proportion as the shares for which we receive instructions from Owners, Participants and Payees, as applicable.

Owners of Qualified Contracts issued on a group basis may be subject to other voting provisions of the particular plan and of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Employees who contribute to plans that are funded by the Contracts may be entitled to instruct the Owners as to how to instruct us to vote the Fund shares attributable to their contributions. Such plans may also provide the additional extent, if any, to which the Owners shall follow voting instructions of persons with rights under the plans. If no voting instructions are received from any such person with respect to a particular Participant Account, the Owner may instruct the Company as to how to vote the number of Fund shares for which instructions may be given.

Neither the Variable Account nor the Company is under any duty to provide information concerning the voting instruction rights of persons who may have such rights under plans, other than rights afforded by the Investment Company Act of 1940, or any duty to inquire as to the instructions received or the authority of Owners, Participants or others, as applicable, to instruct the voting of Fund shares. Except as the Variable Account or the Company has actual knowledge to the contrary, the instructions given by Owners under Group Contracts and Payees will be valid as they affect the Variable Account, the Company and any others having voting instruction rights with respect to the Variable Account.

All Fund proxy material, together with an appropriate form to be used to give voting instructions, will be provided to each person having the right to give voting instructions at least 10 days prior to each meeting of the shareholders of the Fund. We will determine the number of Fund shares as to which each such person is entitled to give instructions as of the record date set by the Fund for such meeting, which is expected to be not more than 90 days prior to each such meeting. Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, the number of Fund shares as to which voting instructions may be given to the Company is determined by dividing the value of all of the Variable Accumulation Units of the particular Sub-Account credited to the Participant Account by the net asset value of one Fund share as of the same date. On or after the Annuity Commencement Date, the number of Fund shares as to which such instructions may be given by a Payee is determined by dividing the reserve held by the Company in the Sub-Account with respect to the particular Payee by the net asset value of a Fund share as of the same date. After the Annuity Commencement Date, the number of Fund shares as to which a Payee is entitled to give voting instructions will generally decrease due to the decrease in the reserve.

Periodic Reports

During the Accumulation Period we will send you, or such other person having voting rights, at least once during each Account Year, a statement showing the number, type and value of Accumulation Units credited to your Account and the Fixed Accumulation Value of your Account, which statement shall be accurate as of a date not more than 2 months previous to the date of mailing. These periodic statements contain important information concerning your transactions with respect to a Contract. It is your obligation to review each such statement carefully and to report to us, at the address or telephone number provided on the statement, any errors or discrepancies in the information presented therein within 60 days of the date of such statement. Unless we receive notice of any such error or discrepancy from you within such period, we may not be responsible for correcting the error or discrepancy.

In addition, every person having voting rights will receive such reports or prospectuses concerning the Variable Account and the Funds as may be required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Securities Act of 1933. We will also send such statements reflecting transactions in your Account as may be required by applicable laws, rules and regulations.

Upon request, we will provide you with information regarding fixed and variable accumulation values.

Substitution of Securities

Shares of any or all Funds may not always be available for investment under the Contracts. We may add or delete Funds or other investment companies as variable investment options under the Contracts. We may also substitute for the shares held in any Sub-Account shares of another Fund or shares of another registered open-end investment company or unit investment trust, provided that the substitution has been approved, if required, by the SEC. In the event of any substitution pursuant to this provision, we may make appropriate endorsement to the Contract to reflect the substitution.

Change in Operation of Variable Account

At our election and subject to any necessary vote by persons having the right to give instructions with respect to the voting of Fund shares held by the Sub-Accounts, the Variable Account may be operated as a management company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or it may be deregistered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 in the event registration is no longer required. Deregistration of the Variable Account requires an order by the SEC. In the event of any change in the operation of the Variable Account pursuant to this provision, we may make appropriate endorsement to the Contract to reflect the change and take such other action as may be necessary and appropriate to effect the change.

Splitting Units

We reserve the right to split or combine the value of Variable Accumulation Units, Annuity Units or any of them. In effecting any such change of unit values, strict equity will be preserved and no change will have a material effect on the benefits or other provisions of the Contract.

Modification

Upon notice to the Participant, in the case of an Individual Contract, and the Owner and Participant(s), in the case of a Group Contract (or the Payee(s) during the Income Phase), we may modify the Contract if such modification: (i) is necessary to make the Contract or the Variable Account comply with any law or regulation issued by a governmental agency to which the Company or the Variable Account is subject; (ii) is necessary to assure continued qualification of the Contract under the Internal Revenue Code or other federal or state laws relating to retirement annuities or annuity contracts; (iii) is necessary to reflect a change in the operation of the Variable Account or the Sub-Account(s) (see "Change in Operation of Variable Account"); (iv) provides additional Variable Account and/or fixed accumulation options; or (v) as may otherwise be in the best interests of Owners, Participants, or Payees, as applicable. In the event of any such modification, we may make appropriate endorsement in the Contract to reflect such modification.

In addition, upon notice to the Owner, we may modify a Group Contract to change the withdrawal charges, Account Fee, mortality and expense risk charges, administrative expense charges, the tables used in determining the amount of the first monthly variable annuity and fixed annuity payments and the formula used to calculate the Market Value Adjustment, provided that such modification applies only to Participant Accounts established after the effective date of such modification. In order to exercise our modification rights in these particular instances, we must notify the Owner of such modification in writing. The notice shall specify the effective date of such modification which must be at least 60 days following the date we mail notice of modification. All of the charges and the annuity tables which are provided in the Group Contract prior to any such modification will remain in effect permanently, unless improved by the Company, with respect to Participant Accounts established prior to the effective date of such modification.

Discontinuance of New Participants

We may limit or discontinue the acceptance of new Applications and the issuance of new Certificates under a Group Contract by giving 30 days prior written notice to the Owner. This will not affect rights or benefits with respect to any Participant Accounts established under such Group Contract prior to the effective date of such limitation or discontinuance.

Reservation of Rights

We reserve the right, to the extent permitted by law, to: (1) combine any 2 or more variable accounts; (2) add or delete Funds, sub-series thereof or other investment companies and corresponding Sub-Accounts; (3) add or remove Guarantee Periods available at any time for election by a Participant; and (4) restrict or eliminate any of the voting rights of Participants (or Owners) or other persons who have voting rights as to the Variable Account. Where required by law, we will obtain approval of changes from Participants or any appropriate regulatory authority. In the event of any change pursuant to this provision, we may make appropriate endorsement to the Contract to reflect the change.

Right to Return

If you are not satisfied with your Contract, you may return it by mailing or delivering it to us at our Annuity Mailing Address as shown on the cover of this Prospectus within 10 days after it was delivered to you. When we receive the returned Contract, it will be cancelled and we will refund to you your Account Value less the Adjusted Purchase Payment Interest. The Adjusted Purchase Payment Interest that may be deducted is equal to the lesser of:

o

the portion of the Account Value that is attributable to any Purchase Payment Interest, and

   

o

all Purchase Payment Interest.

This means you receive any gain on Purchase Payment Interest and we bear any loss. However, if applicable state law requires, we will return the full amount of any Purchase Payment(s) we received. State law may also require us to give you a longer "free look" period or allow you to return the Contract to your sales representative.

<R>

If you are establishing an Individual Retirement Annuity ("IRA"), the Internal Revenue Code requires that we give you a disclosure statement containing certain information about the Contract and applicable legal requirements. We must give you this statement on or before the date the IRA is established. If we give you the disclosure statement before the seventh day preceding the date the IRA is established, you will not have any right of revocation under the Code. If we give you the disclosure statement at a later date, then you may give us a notice of revocation at any time within 7 days after your Contract Date. Upon such revocation, we will refund your Purchase Payment(s). This right of revocation with respect to an IRA is in addition to the return privilege set forth in the preceding paragraph. We allow a Participant establishing an IRA a "ten day free-look," notwithstanding the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

</R>

TAX CONSIDERATIONS

This section provides general information on the federal income tax consequences of ownership of a Contract based upon our understanding of current federal tax laws. Actual federal tax consequences will vary depending on, among other things, the type of retirement plan under which your Contract is issued. Also, legislation altering the current tax treatment of annuity contracts could be enacted in the future and could apply retroactively to Contracts that were purchased before the date of enactment. We make no attempt to consider any applicable federal estate, federal gift, state, or other tax laws. We also make no guarantee regarding the federal, state, or local tax status of any Contract or any transaction involving any Contract. You should consult a qualified tax professional for advice before purchasing a Contract or executing any other transaction (such as a rollover, distribution, withdrawal or payment) involving a Contract.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following discussion applies only to those Contracts issued in the United States. For a discussion of tax considerations effecting Contracts issued in Puerto Rico, see "Puerto Rico Tax Considerations," below.

     Deductibility of Purchase Payments

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

     Pre-Distribution Taxation of Contracts

Generally, an increase in the value of a Contract will not give rise to a current income tax liability to the Owner of a Contract or to any payee under the Contract until a distribution is received from the Contract. However, certain assignments or pledges of a Contract or loans under a Contract will be treated as distributions to the Owner of the Contract and will accelerate the taxability of any increases in the value of a Contract.

Also, corporate (or other non-natural person) Owners of a Non-Qualified Contract will generally incur a current tax liability on Account Value increases. There are certain exceptions to this current taxation rule, including: (i) any Contract that is an "immediate annuity", which the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") defines as a single premium contract with an annuity commencement date within one year of the date of purchase which provides for a series of substantially equal periodic payments (to be made not less frequently than annually) during the annuity period, and (ii) any Contract that the non-natural person holds as agent for a natural person (such as where a bank or other entity holds a Contract as trustee under a trust agreement).

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

     Distributions and Withdrawals from Non-Qualified Contracts

The Account Value of a Non-Qualified Contract will generally include both (i) an amount attributable to Purchase Payments, the return of which will not be taxable, and (ii) an amount attributable to investment earnings, the receipt of which will be taxable at ordinary income rates. The relative portions of any particular distribution that derive from nontaxable Purchase Payments and taxable investment earnings depend upon the nature and the timing of that distribution.

Any withdrawal of less than your entire Account Value under a Non-Qualified Contract before the Annuity Commencement Date, must be treated as a receipt of investment earnings. You may not treat such withdrawals as a non-taxable return of Purchase Payments unless you have first withdrawn the entire amount of the Account Value that is attributable to investment earnings. For purposes of determining whether an Owner has withdrawn the entire amount of the investment earnings under a Non-Qualified Contract, the Code provides that all Non-Qualified deferred annuity contracts issued by the same company to the same Owner during any one calendar year must be treated as one annuity contract.

A Payee who receives annuity payments under a Non-Qualified Contract after the Annuity Commencement Date, will generally be able to treat a portion of each payment as a nontaxable return of Purchase Payments and to treat only the remainder of each such payment as taxable investment earnings. Until the Purchase Payments have been fully recovered in this manner, the nontaxable portion of each payment will be determined by the ratio of (i) the total amount of the Purchase Payments made under the Contract, to (ii) the Payee's expected return under the Contract. Once the Payee has received nontaxable payments in an amount equal to total Purchase Payments, no further exclusion is allowed and all future distributions will constitute fully taxable ordinary income. If payments are terminated upon the death of the Annuitant or other Payee before the Purchase Payments have been fully recovered, the unrecovered Purchase Payments. may be deducted on the final return of the Annuitant or other Payee.

A penalty tax of 10% may also apply to taxable cash withdrawals, including lump-sum payments from Non-Qualified Contracts. This penalty will generally not apply to distributions made after age 59 1/2, to distributions pursuant to the death or disability of the Owner, or to distributions that are a part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments made annually under a lifetime annuity, or to distributions under an immediate annuity (as defined above).

<R>

Death benefits paid upon the death of a Contract Owner are not life insurance benefits and will generally be includible in the income of the recipient to the extent they represent investment earnings under the contract. For this purpose, the amount of the "investment in the contract" is not affected by the Owner's or Annuitant's death, i.e., the investment in the Contract must still be determined by reference to the total Purchase Payments (excluding amounts that were deductible by, or excluded from the gross income of, the Owner of a Contract), less any Purchase Payments that were amounts previously received which were not includible in income. Special mandatory distribution rules also apply after the death of the Owner when the beneficiary is not the surviving spouse of the Owner.

</R>

If death benefits are distributed in a lump sum, the taxable amount of those benefits will be determined in the same manner as upon a full surrender of the contract. If death benefits are distributed under an annuity option, the taxable amount of those benefits will be determined in the same manner as annuity payments, as described above.

     Distributions and Withdrawals from Qualified Contracts

In most cases, all of the distributions you receive from a Qualified Contract will constitute fully taxable ordinary income. Also, a 10% penalty tax will apply to distributions prior to age 59 1/2, except in certain circumstances,.

If you receive an eligible rollover distribution from a Qualified Contract (other than from a Contract issued for use with an individual retirement account) and roll over some or all of that distribution to another eligible plan, the portion of such distribution that is rolled over will not be includible in your income. However, any eligible rollover distribution will be subject to 20% mandatory withholding as described below. Because the amount of the cash paid to you as an eligible rollover distribution will be reduced by this withholding, you will not be able to roll over the entire account balance under your Contract, unless you use other funds equal to the tax withholding to complete the rollover.

An "eligible rollover distribution" is any distribution to you of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of your account, other than:

o

A distribution which is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments made annually under a lifetime annuity or for a specified period of ten years or more;

   

o

Any required minimum distribution, or

   

o

Any hardship distribution.

Only you or your spouse may elect to roll over a distribution to an eligible retirement plan.

     Withholding

In the case of an eligible rollover distribution (as defined above) from a Qualified Contract (other than from a Contract issued for use with an individual retirement account), we (or the plan administrator) must withhold and remit to the U.S. Government 20% of the distribution, unless the Participant or Payee elects to make a direct rollover of the distribution to another qualified retirement plan that is eligible to receive the rollover; however, only you or your spouse may elect a direct rollover. In the case of a distribution from (i) a Non-Qualified Contract, (ii) a Qualified Contract issued for use with an individual retirement account, or (iii) a Qualified Contract where the distribution is not an eligible rollover distribution, 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 Participant or Payee provides us his or her taxpayer identification number and instructs us (in the manner prescribed) not to withhold. The Participant or Payee may credit against his or her federal income tax liability for the year of distribution any amounts that we (or the plan administrator) withhold.

     Investment Diversification and Control

The Treasury Department has issued regulations that prescribe investment diversification requirements for mutual fund series underlying nonqualified variable contracts. All Non-Qualified Contracts must comply with these regulations to qualify as annuities for federal income tax purposes. The Owner of a Non-Qualified Contract that does not meet these guidelines will be subject to current taxation on annual increases in value of the Contract. We believe that each Fund available as an investment option under the Contract complies with these regulations.

The preamble to the 1986 investment diversification regulations stated that the Internal Revenue Service may promulgate guidelines under which an owner's excessive control over investments underlying the contract will preclude the contract from qualifying as an annuity for federal tax purposes. We cannot predict whether such guidelines, if and when they may be promulgated, will be retroactive. We reserve the right to modify the Contract and/or the Variable Account to the extent necessary to comply with any such guidelines, but cannot assure that such modifications would satisfy any retroactive guidelines.

     Tax Treatment of the Company and the Variable Account

As a life insurance company under the Code, we will record and report operations of the Variable Account separately from other operations. The Variable Account will not, however, constitute a regulated investment company or any other type of taxable entity distinct from our other operations. Under present law, we will not incur tax on the income of the Variable Account (consisting primarily of interest, dividends, and net capital gains) if we use this income to increase reserves under Contracts participating in the Variable Account.

     Qualified Retirement Plans

You may use Qualified Contracts with several types of qualified retirement plans. Because tax consequences will vary with the type of qualified retirement plan and the plan's specific terms and conditions, we provide below only brief, general descriptions of the consequences that follow from using Qualified Contracts in connection with various types of qualified retirement plans. We stress that the rights of any person to any benefits under these plans may be subject to the terms and conditions of the plans themselves, regardless of the terms of the Qualified Contracts that you are using. These terms and conditions may include restrictions on, among other things, ownership, transferability, assignability, contributions and distributions.

     Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans

Sections 401(a), 401(k) and 403(a) of the Code permit business employers and certain associations to establish various types of retirement plans for employees. The Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 eliminated most differences between qualified retirement plans of corporations and those of self-employed individuals. Self-employed persons, as a general rule, may therefore use Qualified Contracts as a funding vehicle for their retirement plans.

     Tax-Sheltered Annuities

Section 403(b) of the Code permits public school employees and employees of certain types of charitable, educational and scientific organizations specified in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code to purchase annuity contracts and, subject to certain limitations, exclude the amount of purchase payments from gross income for tax purposes. The Code imposes restrictions on cash withdrawals from Section 403(b) annuities.

If the Contracts are to receive tax-deferred treatment, cash withdrawals of amounts attributable to salary reduction contributions (other than withdrawals of accumulation account value as of December 31, 1988) may be made only when the Participant attains age 59 1/2, separates from service with the employer, dies or becomes disabled (within the meaning of Section 72(m)(7) of the Code). These restrictions apply to (i) any post-1988 salary reduction contributions, (ii) any growth or interest on post-1988 salary reduction contributions, and (iii) any growth or interest on pre-1989 salary reduction contributions that occurs on or after January 1, 1989, and (iv) any pre-1989 salary reduction contributions since we do not maintain records that separately account for such contributions. It is permissible, however, to withdraw post-1988 salary reduction contributions (but not the earnings attributable to such contributions) in cases of financial hardship. While the Internal Revenue Service has not issued specific rules defining financial hardship, we expect that to qualify for a hardship distribution, the Participant must have an immediate and heavy bona fide financial need and lack other resources reasonably available to satisfy the need. Hardship withdrawals (as well as certain other premature withdrawals) will be subject to a 10% tax penalty, in addition to any withdrawal charge applicable under the Contracts. Under certain circumstances the 10% tax penalty will not apply if the withdrawal is for medical expenses.

Section 403(b) annuities, like IRAs, are subject to required minimum distributions under the Code. Section 403(b) annuities are unique, however, in that any account balance accruing before January 1, 1987 (the "pre-1987 balance") needs to comply with only the minimum distribution incidental benefit (MDIB) rule and not also with the minimum distribution rules set forth in Section 401(a)(9) of the Code. This special treatment for any pre-1987 balance is, however, conditioned upon the issuer identifying the pre-1987 balance and maintaining accurate records of changes to the balance. Since we do not maintain such records, your pre-1987 balance, if any, will not be eligible for special distribution treatment.

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

     Individual Retirement Accounts

Sections 219 and 408 of the Code permit eligible individuals to contribute to an individual retirement program, including Simplified Employee Pension Plans, Employer/Association of Employees Established Individual Retirement Account Trusts, and Simple Retirement Accounts. Such IRAs are subject to limitations on contribution levels, the persons who may be eligible, and on the time when distributions may commence. In addition, certain distributions from some other types of retirement plans may be placed in an IRA on a tax-deferred basis. If we sell Contracts for use with IRAs, the Internal Revenue Service or other agency may impose supplementary information requirements. We will provide purchasers of the Contracts for such purposes with any necessary information. You will have the right to revoke the Contract under certain circumstances, as described in the section of this Prospectus entitled "Right to Return."

     Roth IRAs

Section 408A of the Code permits an individual to contribute to an individual retirement program called a Roth IRA. Unlike contributions to a traditional IRA under Section 408 of the Code, contributions to a Roth IRA are not tax-deductible. Provided certain conditions are satisfied, distributions are generally tax-free. Like traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs are subject to limitations on contribution amounts and the timing of distributions. If an individual converts a traditional IRA into a Roth IRA the full amount of the IRA is included in taxable income. The Internal Revenue Service and other agencies may impose special information requirements with respect to Roth IRAs. We will provide the necessary information for Contracts issued in connection with Roth IRAs.

     Status of Optional Death Benefit Riders

Under the Code, IRAs may not invest in life insurance policies. Regulations issued by the Treasury Department provide that death benefits under IRAs do not violate this rule, provided that the death benefit is no more than the greater of the total premiums paid (net of prior withdrawals) or the cash value of the IRA.

In certain circumstances, the death benefit payable under the Contract's Optional Death Benefit Riders may exceed both the total premiums paid (net of prior withdrawals) and the cash value of the Contract. We have filed the Contract and the EEB Plus, EEB Plus MAV, and EEB Plus 5% Roll-Up Optional Death Benefit Riders ("New Riders") with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") requesting a ruling approving the use of the Contract with the New Riders as an IRA. We have already received a favorable determination letter with respect to the following Optional Death Benefit Riders: EEB; MAV; 5% Roll-Up; EEB and MAV; EEB and 5% Roll-Up; MAV and 5% Roll-Up; and EEB and MAV and 5% Roll-Up ("Old Riders").

Although we regard the New Riders as an investment protection feature that should not result in adverse tax treatment, we give no assurance that the IRS will approve the use of the Contract with the New Riders in IRAs. Denial of our request by the IRS could result in taxation of the entire balance of your IRA and penalty taxes. You should consult a qualified tax adviser before adding any of the New Riders to your Contract if it is an IRA.

Puerto Rico Tax Considerations

The Contract offered by this Prospectus is considered an annuity contract under Section 1022 of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 1994, as amended (the "1994 Code"). Under the current provisions of the 1994 Code, no income tax is payable on increases in value of accumulation shares of annuity units credited to a variable annuity contract until payments are made to the annuitant or other payee under such contract.

When payments are made from your Contract in the form of an annuity, the annuitant or other payee will be required to include as gross income the lesser of the amount received during the taxable year or the portion of the amount received equal to 3% of the aggregate premiums or other consideration paid for the annuity. The amount, if any, in excess of the included amount is excluded from gross income as a return of premium. After an amount equal to the aggregate premiums or other consideration paid for the annuity has been excluded from gross income, all of the subsequent annuity payments are considered to be taxable income.

When a payment under a Contract is made in a lump sum, the amount of the payment would be included in the gross income of the Annuitant or other Payee to the extent it exceeds the Annuitant's aggregate premiums or other consideration paid.

The provisions of the 1994 Code with respect to qualified retirement plans described in this Prospectus vary significantly from those under the Internal Revenue Code. Although we currently offer the Contract in Puerto Rico in connection with qualified retirement plans, the text of this Prospectus under the heading "Federal Tax Status" dealing with such qualified retirement plans is inapplicable to Puerto Rico and should be disregarded.

For information regarding the income tax consequences of owning a Contract, you should consult a qualified tax adviser.

ADMINISTRATION OF THE CONTRACTS

We perform certain administrative functions relating to the Contracts, Participant Accounts, and the Variable Account. These functions include, but are not limited to, maintaining the books and records of the Variable Account and the Sub-Accounts; maintaining records of the name, address, taxpayer identification number, Contract number, Participant Account number and type, the status of each Participant Account and other pertinent information necessary to the administration and operation of the Contracts; processing Applications, Purchase Payments, transfers and full and partial withdrawals; issuing Contracts and Certificates; administering annuity payments; furnishing accounting and valuation services; reconciling and depositing cash receipts; providing confirmations; providing toll-free customer service lines; and furnishing telephonic transfer services.

DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACTS

We offer the Contracts on a continuous basis. The Contracts are sold by licensed insurance agents in those states where the Contracts may be lawfully sold. Such agents will be registered representatives of broker-dealers registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 who are members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and who have entered into distribution agreements with the Company and the general distributor, Clarendon Insurance Agency, Inc. ("Clarendon"), One Sun Life Executive Park, Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts 02481. Clarendon, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a broker-dealer and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

Commissions and other distribution compensation will be paid by the Company to the selling agents and will not be more than 6.50% of Purchase Payments. In addition, after the first Account Year, broker-dealers who have entered into distribution agreements with the Company may receive an annual renewal commission of no more than 0.50% of the Participant's Account Value. In addition to commissions, the Company may, from time to time, pay or allow additional promotional incentives, in the form of cash or other compensation. We reserve the right to offer these additional incentives only to certain broker-dealers that sell or are expected to sell during specified time periods certain minimum amounts of the Contracts or Certificates or other contracts offered by the Company. Promotional incentives may change at any time. Commissions may be waived or reduced in connection with certain transactions described in this Prospectus under the heading "Waivers; Reduced Charges; Credits; Bonus Guaranteed Interest Rates." During 1999, 2000, and 2001 approximately $126,568, $2,223,969, and $2,170,529 respectively, in commissions were paid to and retained by Clarendon in connection with the distribution of the Contracts.

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

From time to time the Variable Account may publish reports to shareholders, sales literature and advertisements containing performance information relating to the Sub-Accounts. This information may include standardized and non-standardized "Average Annual Total Return," "Cumulative Growth Rate" and "Compound Growth Rate." We may also advertise "yield" and "effective yield" for some Sub-Accounts.

Average Annual Total Return measures the net income of the Sub-Account and any realized or unrealized gains or losses of the Funds in which it invests, over the period stated. Average Annual Total Return figures are annualized and represent the average annual percentage change in the value of an investment in a Sub-Account over that period. Standardized Average Annual Total Return information covers the period since we started offering the Sub-Accounts under the Futurity products or, if shorter, the life of the Sub-Account. Non-standardized Average Annual Total Return covers the life of each Fund, which may predate the Futurity products. Cumulative Growth Rate represents the cumulative change in the value of an investment in the Sub-Account for the period stated, and is arrived at by calculating the change in the Accumulation Unit Value of a Sub-Account between the first and the last day of the period being measured. The difference is expressed as a percentage of the Accumulation Unit Value at the beginning of the base period. "Compound Growth Rate" is an annualized measure, calculated by applying a formula that determines the level of return which, if earned over the entire period, would produce the cumulative return.

Average Annual Total Return figures assume an initial Purchase Payment of $1,000 and reflect all applicable withdrawal and Contract charges. The Cumulative Growth Rate and Compound Growth Rate figures that we advertise do not reflect withdrawal charges, the annual Account Fee, or any Purchase Payment Interest, although such figures do reflect all recurring charges. If such figures were calculated to reflect Purchase Payment Interest credited, the calculation would also reflect any withdrawal charges made. Results calculated without withdrawal and/or certain Contract charges will be higher. We may also use other types of rates of return that do not reflect withdrawal and Contract charges.

The performance figures used by the Variable Account are based on the actual historical performance of the Funds for the specified periods, and the figures are not intended to indicate future performance. For periods before the date the Contracts became available, we calculate the performance information for the Sub-Accounts on a hypothetical basis. To do this, we reflect deductions of the current Contract fees and charges from the historical performance of the corresponding Fund.

Yield is a measure of the net dividend and interest income earned over a specific one-month or 30-day period (7-day period for the Sun Capital Money Market Sub-Account), expressed as a percentage of the value of the Sub-Account's Accumulation Units. Yield is an annualized figure, which means that we assume that the Sub-Account generates the same level of net income over a one-year period and compound that income on a semi-annual basis. We calculate the effective yield for the Sun Capital Money Market Sub-Account similarly, but include the increase due to assumed compounding. The Sun Capital Money Market Sub-Account's effective yield will be slightly higher than its yield as a result of its compounding effect.

The Variable Account may also from time to time compare its investment performance to various unmanaged indices or other variable annuities and may refer to certain rating and other organizations in its marketing materials. More information on performance and our computations is set forth in the Statement of Additional Information.

The Company may also advertise the ratings and other information assigned to it by independent industry ratings organizations. Some of these organizations are A.M. Best, Moody's Investor's Service, Standard and Poor's Insurance Rating Services, and Fitch. Each year A.M. Best reviews the financial status of thousands of insurers, culminating in the assignment of Best's rating. These ratings reflect A.M. Best's current opinion of the relevant financial strength and operating performance of an insurance company in comparison to the norms of the life/health industry. Best's ratings range from A++ to F. Standard and Poor's and Fitch's ratings measure the ability of an insurance company to meet its obligations under insurance policies it issues. These two ratings do not measure the insurance company's ability to meet non-policy obligations. Ratings in general do not relate to the performance of the Sub-Accounts.

We may also advertise endorsements from organizations, individuals or other parties that recommend the Company or the Contracts. We may occasionally include in advertisements (1) comparisons of currently taxable and tax deferred investment programs, based on selected tax brackets; or (2) discussions of alternative investment vehicles and general economic conditions.

INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE

The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") is incorporated herein by reference. All documents or reports we file pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, after the date of this prospectus and prior to the termination of the offering, shall be deemed incorporated by reference into the prospectus.

The Company will furnish, without charge, to each person to whom a copy of this Prospectus is delivered, upon the written or oral request of such person, a copy of the documents referred to above which have been incorporated by reference into this Prospectus, other than exhibits to such documents (unless such exhibits are specifically incorporated by reference in this Prospectus). Requests for such documents should be directed to the Secretary, Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.), One Sun Life Executive Park, Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts 02481, telephone (800) 225-3950.

STATE REGULATION

The Company is subject to the laws of the State of Delaware governing life insurance companies and to regulation by the Commissioner of Insurance of Delaware. An annual statement is filed with the Commissioner of Insurance on or before March lst in each year relating to the operations of the Company for the preceding year and its financial condition on December 31st of such year. Its books and records are subject to review or examination by the Commissioner or his agents at any time and a full examination of its operations is conducted at periodic intervals.

The Company is also subject to the insurance laws and regulations of the other states and jurisdictions in which it is licensed to operate. The laws of the various jurisdictions establish supervisory agencies with broad administrative powers with respect to licensing to transact business, overseeing trade practices, licensing agents, approving policy forms, establishing reserve requirements, fixing maximum interest rates on life insurance policy loans and minimum rates for accumulation of surrender values, prescribing the form and content of required financial statements and regulating the type and amounts of investments permitted. Each insurance company is required to file detailed annual reports with supervisory agencies in each of the fire jurisdictions in which it does business and its operations and accounts are subject to examination by such agencies at regular intervals.

In addition, many states regulate affiliated groups of insurers, such as the Company, Sun Life (Canada) and its affiliates, under insurance holding company legislation. Under such laws, inter-company transfers of assets and dividend payments from insurance subsidiaries may be subject to prior notice or approval, depending on the size of such transfers and payments in relation to the financial positions of the companies involved. Under insurance guaranty fund laws in most states, insurers doing business therein can be assessed (up to prescribed limits) for policyholder losses incurred by insolvent companies. The amount of any future assessments of the Company under these laws cannot be reasonably estimated. However, most of these laws do provide that an assessment may be excused or deferred if it would threaten an insurer's own financial strength and many permit the deduction of all or a portion of any such assessment from any future premium or similar taxes payable.

Although the federal government generally does not directly regulate the business of insurance, federal initiatives often have an impact on the business in a variety of ways. Current and proposed federal measures which may significantly affect the insurance business include employee benefit regulation, removal of barriers preventing banks from engaging in the insurance business, tax law changes affecting the taxation of insurance companies, the tax treatment of insurance products and its impact on the relative desirability of various personal investment vehicles.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There are no pending legal proceedings affecting the Variable Account. We and our subsidiaries are engaged in various kinds of routine litigation which, in management's judgment, is not of material importance to our respective total assets or material with respect to the Variable Account.

ACCOUNT YEAR and ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY: Your first Account Year is the period 365 days from the date on which we issued your Contract. Your Account Anniversary is the last day of an Account Year. Each Account Year after the first is the 365-day period that begins on your Account Anniversary. For example, if the Contract Date is on March 12, the first Account Year is determined from the Contract Date and ends on March 12 of the following year. Your Account Anniversary is March 12 and all Account Years after the first are measured from March 12. (If the Anniversary Date falls on a non-Business Day, the previous Business Day will be used.)

VARIABLE ACCUMULATION UNIT: A unit of measure used in the calculation of Variable Account Value.

VARIABLE ACCOUNT VALUE: The value of that portion of your Account allocated to the Variable Account.

VARIABLE ANNUITY: An annuity with payments which vary as to dollar amount in relation to the investment performance of the Variable Account.

In Account Year 4, the free withdrawal amount is $4,500, which equals the prior Account Year's earnings. On a full withdrawal of $52,100, the amount subject to a withdrawal charge is $35,500.

   

(c)

In Account Year 8, the free withdrawal amount is $40,000, which equals 100% of the Purchase Payment of $40,000. On a full withdrawal of $72,800, the amount subject to a withdrawal charge is $0, since the New Payments equal $0.

Partial Withdrawal

Assume a single Purchase Payment of $40,000 is made on the Contract Date, no additional Purchase Payments are made, no partial withdrawals have been taken prior to the fourth Account Year, and there are a series of 4 partial withdrawals made during the fourth Account Year of $4,100, $9,000, $12,000, and $20,000.

(a)

In Account Year 4, the free withdrawal amount is $4,500, which equals the prior Account Year's earnings. The partial withdrawal amount of $4,100 is less than the free withdrawal amount, so there is no withdrawal charge.

   

(b)

Since a partial withdrawal of $4,100 was taken, the remaining free withdrawal amount in Account Year 4 is $4,500 - $4,100 = $400. Therefore, $400 of the $9,000 withdrawal is not subject to a withdrawal charge, and $8,600 is subject to a withdrawal charge.

   

(c)

Since the total of the two prior Account Year 4 partial withdrawals ($13,100) is greater than the free withdrawal amount of $4,500, there is no remaining free withdrawal amount. The entire withdrawal amount of $12,000 is subject to a withdrawal charge.

   

(d)

Since the total of the three prior Account Year 4 partial withdrawals ($25,100) is greater than the free withdrawal amount of $4,500, there is no remaining free withdrawal amount. Since the total amount of New Purchase Payments was $40,000 and $25,100 of New Payments has already been surrendered, only $14,900 of this $20,000 withdrawal comes from liquidating Purchase Payments. The remaining $5,100 of this withdrawal comes from liquidating earnings and is not subject to a withdrawal charge.

Note that since all of the Purchase Payments were liquidated by the final withdrawal of $20,000, the total withdrawal charge for the four Account Year 4 withdrawals is $2,485, which is the same amount that was assessed for a full liquidation in Account Year 4 in the example on the previous page. Any additional Account Year 4 withdrawals in the example shown on this page would come from the liquidating of earnings and would not be subject to a withdrawal charge.

Part 2 -- Fixed Account -- Examples of the Market Value Adjustment ("MVA")

The MVA Factor is:

[(1 + I) / (1 + J + b)] ^ (N/12) -1

These examples assume the following:

o

The Guarantee Amount was allocated to a 5-year Guarantee Period with a Guaranteed Interest Rate of 6% or .06.

   

o

The date of surrender is 2 years from the Expiration Date (N = 24).

   

o

The value of the Guarantee Amount on the date of surrender is $11,910.16.

   

o

The interest earned in the current Account Year is $674.16.

   

o

No transfers or partial withdrawals affecting this Guarantee Amount have been made.

   

o

Withdrawal charges, if any, are calculated in the same manner as shown in the examples in Part 1.

Example of a Negative MVA:

Assume that on the date of surrender, the current rate (J) is 8% or .08 and the b factor is zero.

The MVA factor =

[(1 + I) / (1 + J + b)] ^ (N/12) -1

=

[(1 + .06) / (1 + .08)] ^ (24/12) - 1

=

(.981^ 2) -1

=

.963 -1

=

-.037

The value of the Guarantee Amount less interest credited to the Guarantee Amount in the current Account Year is multiplied by the MVA factor to determine the MVA:

($11,910.16 - $674.16) X -.037 = -$415.73

-$415.73 represents the MVA that will be deducted from the value of the Guarantee Amount before the deduction of any withdrawal charge.

For a partial withdrawal of $2,000 from this Guarantee Amount, the MVA would be ($2,000.00 - $674.16) X -.037 = -$49.06. -$49.06 represents the MVA that will be deducted from the partial withdrawal amount before the deduction of any withdrawal charge.

Example of a Positive MVA:

Assume that on the date of surrender, the current rate (J) is 5% or .05 and the b factor is zero.

The MVA factor =

[(1 + I) / (1 + J + b)] ^ (N/12) -1

=

[(1 + .06) / (1 + .05)] ^ (24/12) - 1

=

(1.010^ 2) -1

=

1.019 -1

=

.019

The value of the Guarantee Amount less interested credit to the Guarantee Amount in the current Account Year is multiplied by the MVA factor to determine the MVA:

($11,910.16 - $674.16) X .019 = $213.48

$213.48 represents the MVA that would be added to the value of the Guarantee Amount before the deduction of any withdrawal charge.

For a partial withdrawal of $2,000 from this Guarantee Amount, the MVA would be ($2,000.00 - $674.16) X .019 = $25.19.

$25.19 represents the MVA that would be added to the value of the partial withdrawal amount before the deduction of any withdrawal charge.

 

Appendix C

Calculation of Basic Death Benefit

Example 1:

Assume a Purchase Payment of $60,000.00 is made on the Contract Date and an additional Purchase Payment of $40,000.00 is made one year later. Assume that all of the money is invested in the Variable Sub-Accounts, that no Withdrawals are made and that the Account Value on the Death Benefit Date is $80,000.00. The calculation of the Death Benefit to be paid is as follows:

The Basic Death Benefit is the greatest of:

     
 

Account Value

=

$ 80,000.00

 

Cash Surrender Value*

=

$ 74,400.00

 

Purchase Payments

=

$100,000.00

The Basic Death Benefit would therefore be:

   

$100,000.00

Example 2:

Assume a Purchase Payment of $60,000.00 is made on the Contract Date and an additional Purchase Payment of $40,000.00 is made one year later. Assume that all of the money is invested in the Variable Sub-Accounts and that the Account Value is $80,000.00 just prior to a $20,000.00 withdrawal. The Account Value on the Death Benefit Date is $60,000.00.

The Basic Death Benefit is the greatest of:

     
 

Account Value

=

$ 60,000.00

 

Cash Surrender Value*

=

$ 55,200.00

 

Adjusted Purchase Payments**

=

$ 75,000.00

The Basic Death Benefit would therefore be:

   

$ 75,000.00

*Cash Surrender Value is the amount we would pay you if you surrendered your entire Account Value. For a description of how Cash Surrender Value is calculated, see "Full Withdrawals" under the subheading "Cash Withdrawals."

**Adjusted Purchase Payments can be calculated as follows: Payments X (Account Value after withdrawal divided by Account Value before withdrawal) $100,000.00 X ($60,000.00/$80,000.00) = $75,000.00.

 

 

 

Appendix D

Calculation of Earnings Enhancement Optional Death Benefit

Example 1:

Assume a Purchase Payment of $60,000 is made on the Contract Date, and an additional Purchase Payment of $40,000 is made one year later. Assume that all of the money is invested into the Sub-Accounts, no withdrawals are made and the Account Value on the Death Benefit Date is $135,000. In addition, this Contract was issued prior to the Owner's 70th birthday. Assume death occurs in Account Year 7. The calculation of the Death Benefit to be paid is as follows:

The Death Benefit Amount will be the greatest of:

     
 

Account Value

=

$135,000

 

Cash Surrender Value*

=

$ 40,000

The lesser of the above two amounts = the EEB amount

 

=

$ 14,000

The total Death Benefit would be the amount paid on the Basic Death Benefit plus the EEB amount = $135,000 + $14,000 = $149,000.

Example 2:

Assume a Purchase Payment of $60,000 is made on the Contract Date, and an additional Purchase Payment of $40,000 is made one year later. Assume that all of the money is invested into the Sub-Accounts and that the Account Value is $135,000 just prior to a $20,000 withdrawal. The Account Value on the Death Benefit Date is $115,000. In addition, this Contract was issued prior to the Owner's 70th birthday. Assume death occurs in Account Year 7.

The Death Benefit Amount will be the greatest of:

The total Death Benefit would be the amount paid on the Basic Death Benefit plus the EEB amount = $115,000 + $11,926 = $126,926.

*Cash Surrender Value is the amount we would pay you if you surrendered your entire Account Value. For a description of how Cash Surrender Value is calculated, see "Full Withdrawals" under the subheading "Cash Withdrawals."

**Adjusted Purchase Payments can be calculated as follows:

Payments X (Account Value after withdrawal divided by Account Value before withdrawal) = $100,000 X ($115,000 divided by $135,000) = $85,185

 

 

 

Appendix E

Calculation of Death Benefit When EEB And MAV and 5% Roll-Up Riders are Selected

Assume a Purchase Payment of $60,000 is made on the Contract Date, and an additional Purchase Payment of $40,000 is made one year later. Assume that all of the money is invested in Variable Accounts.

Appendix I

Calculation for Purchase Payment Interest (Bonus Credit)

Example 1: Option A

If you select Option A, the 2% Bonus Option, we will credit Purchase Payment Interest on all Purchase Payments made during the first Account Year. On each fifth Account Anniversary, we will credit additional Purchase Payment Interest of 2% based on your Account Value, illustrated below:

Initial Purchase Payment of $50,000.00 receives 2% Purchase Payment Interest of $1,000.00.

Subsequent Purchase Payment in the first Account Year of $20,000.00 receives 2% Purchase Payment Interest of $400.00.

Suppose the Account had not gained any earnings or interest during the first 5 Account Years and the Account Value is $71,400.00 (sum of all Purchase Payments and Purchase Payment Interest), we will credit your Account with an additional 2% ($1,428.00).

Using the same Purchase Payments as above, suppose your value on the fifth Account Anniversary is $74,970.00. We will credit your Account with an additional 2% of Purchase Payment Interest (equal to $1,499.40).

This 2% Purchase Payment Interest will occur on every fifth Account Anniversary (i.e., 5th, 10th, 15th).

Example 2: Option B with no Withdrawals

If you select Option B, the 3% Bonus Option the amount we will credit to your Contract depends on the size of your Net Purchase Payments. The scale is as follow:

Net Purchase Payments less than $100,000.00 will receive

3%

Net Purchase Payments between $100,000.00 through $499,999.99 will receive

4%

Net Purchase Payments greater than or equal to $500,000.00 will receive

5%

Therefore, if your initial investment is $50,000.00, your Purchase Payment Interest will equal 3% of $50,000, or $1500.00.

If you make additional Payments that cause your total Net Purchase Payments to exceed $100,000.00, these Purchase Payments will receive either a 4% or 5% bonus, using the above scale. As an example:

 

Initial Purchase Payment of $50,000.00 will receive 3% Purchase Payment Interest. A second Purchase Payment of $80,000.00 will result in Net Purchase Payments of $130,000.00. Thus, the $80,000.00 will receive Purchase Payment Interest of 4% equal to $3,200.00.

   
 

Suppose a third Purchase Payment of $400,000.00 is made. This will bring the Net Purchase Payments to $530,000.00. This $400,000.00 will receive Purchase Payment Interest of 5% equal to $20,000.00.

   
 

This Account now has total Net Purchase Payments of $530,000.00 and total Purchase Payment Interest of $24,700.00.

In addition to the Purchase Payment Interest paid at the time of each Payment, we will review your first Account Anniversary to ensure that all Net Purchase Payments receive the Purchase Payment Interest as described in the above scale. Using the above scenario as an example, upon the first Account Anniversary, we will credit your Account an additional $1800.00, which is equal to:

 

Total Net Purchase Payments of $530,000.00 X 5%

=

$26,500.00

 

Total Purchase Payment Interest received

=

$24,700.00

 

First Account Anniversary Adjustment

=

$ 1,800.00

Example 3: Option B with a Withdrawal

Using the same example as above, suppose that before the first Account Anniversary you take a withdrawal of $20,000.00. The annual Purchase Payment Interest adjustment would be calculated as follows:

Because your Net Purchase Payments are $510,000.00 ($530,000.00 -$20,000.00 withdrawal), your Purchase Payment Interest on all Net Purchase Payments should be 5%.

 

Your initial Payment of $50,000.00 received 3%

 

Your second Payment of $80,000.00 received 4%

 

Your third Payment of $400,000.00 received the 5%

Your first two Payments minus the withdrawal will receive additional Purchase Payment Interest. This will bring your total Net Purchase Payments up to 5%.

 

$50,000.00 X 2%

=

$1,000.00

 

$80,000.00 - $20,000.00 = $60,000.00 X 1%

=

$  600.00

 

Total credit due

=

$1,600.00

On your First Account Anniversary we will credit your Account with an additional Purchase Payment Interest of $1,600.00.

SPECIAL TERMS

Your Contract is a legal document that uses a number of specially defined terms. We explain most of the terms that we use in this Prospectus in the context where they arise, and some are self-explanatory. In addition, for convenient reference, we have compiled a list of these terms in the Glossary included at the back of this Prospectus as Appendix A. If, while you are reading this Prospectus, you come across a term that you do not understand, please refer to the Glossary for an explanation.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS

The headings in this section correspond to headings in the Prospectus under which we discuss these topics in more detail.

The Annuity Contract

The MFS Regatta Extra Fixed and Variable Annuity Contract provides a number of important benefits for your retirement planning. During the Accumulation Phase, you make Payments under the Contract and allocate them to one or more Variable Account or Fixed Account options. During the Income Phase, we make annuity payments to you or someone else based on the amount you have accumulated. The Contract provides tax-deferral so that you do not pay taxes on your earnings until you withdraw them. The Contract also provides a basic death benefit if you die during the Accumulation Phase. You may enhance the basic death benefit by purchasing one or more of the optional death benefit riders.

The Accumulation Phase

Under most circumstances, you can buy the Contract with an initial Purchase Payment of $10,000 or more, and you can make additional Purchase Payments of at least $1,000 at any time during the Accumulation Phase. We will not normally accept a Purchase Payment if your Account Value is over $1 million or, if the Purchase Payment would cause your Account Value to exceed $1 million. In addition, we will credit your Contract with Purchase Payment Interest at a rate of 2% to 5% of each Purchase Payment based upon the interest rate option you choose when you apply for your Contract.

Variable Account Options: The Funds

You can allocate your Purchase Payments among Sub-Accounts investing in a number of Fund options. Each Fund is a separate series of the MFS/Sun Life Series Trust, an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Our affiliate, Massachusetts Financial Services Company ("MFS"), serves as the investment adviser to the Series Fund. The investment returns on the Funds are not guaranteed. You can make or lose money. You can make transfers among the Funds and the Fixed Account Options.

The Fixed Account Options: The Guarantee Periods

You can allocate your Purchase Payments to the Fixed Account and elect to invest in one or more of the Guarantee Periods we make available from time to time. Each Guarantee Period earns interest at a Guaranteed Interest Rate that we publish. We may change the Guaranteed Interest Rate from time to time, but no Guaranteed Interest Rate will ever be less than the minimum guaranteed rate permitted by law. Once we have accepted your allocation to a particular Guarantee Period, we promise that the Guaranteed Interest Rate applicable to that allocation will not change for the duration of the Guarantee Period. We may offer Guarantee Periods of different durations or stop offering some Guarantee Periods. Once we stop offering a Guarantee Period of a particular duration, future allocations, transfers or renewals into that Guarantee Period will not be permitted.

<R>

Fees and Expenses

</R>

The Contract has insurance features and investment features, and there are costs related to each.

During the Accumulation Phase, we deduct a $35 Annual Account Fee, if your Account Value is less than $100,000 on your Account Anniversary. We will waive the Account Fee if your Contract was fully invested in the Fixed Account during the entire Account Year. After the fifth Contract Year, we may increase the fee, but it will never exceed $50.

We deduct a mortality and expense risk charge of 1.30% of the average daily value of the Contract invested in the Variable Account. We also deduct an administrative charge of 0.15% of the average daily value of the Contract invested in the Variable Account.

If you take more than a specified amount of money out of your Contract, we assess a withdrawal charge against each Purchase Payment withdrawn. The withdrawal charge (also known as a "contingent deferred sales charge") starts at 8% in the first Contract year and declines to 0% after seven years.

Currently, you can make 12 free transfers each year; however, we reserve the right to impose a charge of up to $15 per transfer.

If you elect one or more of the optional death benefit riders, we will deduct, during the Accumulation Phase, an additional charge from the assets of the Variable Account ranging from 0.15% to 0.40% of the average daily value of your Contract, depending upon which optional death benefit rider(s) you elected.

<R>

In addition to the charges we impose under the Contract, there are also charges (which include management fees and operating expenses) imposed by the Funds, depending upon which Fund(s) you have selected.

</R>

The Income Phase: Annuity Provisions

If you want to receive regular income from your annuity, you can select one of a several Annuity Options. Subject to the Maximum Annuity Commencement Date, you can choose to receive annuity payments from either the Fixed Account or from the available Variable Account options. If you choose to have any part of your annuity payments come from the Variable Account, the dollar amount of the payments may fluctuate with the performance of the Funds. You decide when your Income Phase will begin but, once it begins, you cannot change your choice of annuity payment options.

Death Benefit

If you die before the Contract reaches the Income Phase, the beneficiary will receive a death benefit. The amount of the death benefit depends upon your age on the Contract Date and whether you choose the basic death benefit or, for a fee, one or more of the optional death benefit rider. If you are 85 or younger on your Contract Date, the basic death benefit pays the greatest of your Account Value, your total Purchase Payments (adjusted for withdrawals), or your cash Surrender Value, all calculated as of your Death Benefit Date. If you are 86 or older on your Contract Date, the basic death benefit is equal to the Surrender Value. Subject to availability in your state, you may enhance the basic death benefit by electing one or more of the optional death benefit riders. You must make your election before the date on which your Contract becomes effective. The riders are only available if you are younger than 80 on the Contract Date. Any optional death benefit rider election may not be changed after your Contract is issued.

Withdrawals, Withdrawal Charge and Market Value Adjustment

You can withdraw money from your Contract during the Accumulation Phase. You may withdraw a portion of your Account Value each year without the imposition of a withdrawal charge. This "free withdrawal amount" equals the amount of all Purchase Payments made and not withdrawn prior to the last 7 Account Years plus the greater of (1) your Contract earnings in the prior Account Year and (2) 10% of all Purchase Payments made in the last 7 Account Years (including the current Account Year). All other Purchase Payments are subject to the withdrawal charge. Withdrawals made from the Fixed Account may also be subject to a Market Value Adjustment (see prospectus under "Market Value Adjustment"). You may also have to pay income taxes and tax penalties on money you withdraw.

Right to Return

Your Contract contains a "free look" provision. If you can cancel your Contract within 10 days after receiving it, we will send you, depending upon the laws of your state, either the full amount of all of your Purchase Payments or your Account Value as of the day we receive your cancellation request. (This amount may be more or less than the original Purchase Payment). We will not deduct a withdrawal charge or a Market Value Adjustment.

Tax Considerations

Your earnings are not taxed until you take them out. If you withdraw money during the Accumulation Phase, earnings come out first and are taxed as income. If you are younger than 59 1/2 when you take money out, you may be charged a 10% federal tax penalty.

8.30%*

*

The expenses shown are for the year ended December 31, 2002, and do not reflect any fee waiver or expense reimbursement.

The advisers and/or other service providers of certain Funds have agreed to reduce their fees and/or reimburse the Funds' expenses in order to keep the Funds' expenses below specified limits. The expenses of certain Funds are reduced by contractual fee reduction and expense reimbursement arrangements that will remain in effect at least through May 1, 2004. The minimum and maximum Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses for all Funds after all fee reductions and expense reimbursements are 0.82% and 1.51 %, respectively. Each fee reduction and/or expense reimbursement arrangement is described in the relevant Fund's prospectus.

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

EXAMPLE

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include contract Owner transaction expenses, contract fees, variable account annual expenses, and Fund fees and expenses.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated and that your Contract includes the maximum charges for optional benefits. If these optional benefits were not elected or fewer options were elected, the expense figures shown below would be lower. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and assumes the maximum fees and expenses of any of the Funds. In addition, this Example assumes no transfers were made and no premium taxes were deducted. If these arrangements were considered, the expenses shown would be higher. This Example also does not take into consideration any fee waiver or expense reimbursement arrangement of the Funds. If these arrangements were taken into consideration, the expenses shown would be lower.

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

(1)

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

1 year

3 years

5 years

10 years

         
 

$1,076

$2,950

$4,636

$8,027

(2)

If you annuitize your Contract or if you do not surrender your Contract at the end of the applicable time period:

 

1 year

3 years

5 years

10 years

         
 

$356

$2,369

$4,185

$8,027

The fee table and example should not be considered a representation of past or future expenses and charges of the Sub-accounts. Your actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown. The example does not include the deduction of state premium taxes, which may be assessed upon full surrender, death or annuitization, or any taxes and penalties you may be required to pay if you surrender the Contract. Similarly, the 5% annual rate of return assumed in the example is not intended to be representative of past or future investment performance. For more information about Fund expenses, including a description of any applicable fee waiver or expense reimbursement arrangement, see the prospectuses for the Funds.

CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Historical information about the value of the units we use to measure the variable portion of your Contract ('Variable Accumulation Units') is included in the back of this Prospectus as Appendix J.

 

 

 

THE ANNUITY CONTRACT

Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) (the "Company", "we" or "us") and Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Variable Account F (the "Variable Account") offer the Contract to groups and individuals for use in connection with their retirement plans. The Contract is available on a group basis and, in certain states, may be available on an individual basis. We issue an Individual Contract directly to the individual Owner of the Contract. We issue a Group Contract to the Owner covering all individuals participating under the Group Contract; each individual receives a Certificate that evidences his or her participation under the Group Contract.

In this Prospectus, unless we state otherwise, we refer to both the Owners of Individual Contracts and participating individuals under Group Contracts as "Participants" and we address all Participants as "you"; we use the term "Contracts" to include Individual Contracts, Group Contracts, and Certificates issued under Group Contracts. For the purpose of determining benefits under both Individual Contracts and Group Contracts, we establish an Account for each Participant, which we will refer to as "your" Account or a "Participant Account."

Your Contract provides a number of important benefits for your retirement planning. It has an Accumulation Phase, during which you make Payments under the Contract and allocate them to one or more Variable Account or Fixed Account options, and an Income Phase, during which we make annuity payments based on the amount you have accumulated. Your Contract provides tax deferral, so that you do not pay taxes on your earnings under Your Contract until you withdraw them. It provides a basic death benefit if you die during the Accumulation Phase. You may enhance the basic death benefit by electing one or more optional death benefit riders and paying an additional charge for each optional death benefit rider you elect. Finally, if you so elect, during the Income Phase we will make annuity payments to you or someone else for life or for another period that you choose.

You choose these benefits on a variable or fixed basis or a combination of both. When you choose Variable Account investment options or a Variable Annuity option, your benefits will be responsive to changes in the economic environment, including inflationary forces and changes in rates of return available from different types of investments. With these variable options, you assume all investment risk under your Contract. When you choose a Guarantee Period in our Fixed Account or a Fixed Annuity option, we assume the investment risk, except in the case of early withdrawals in the Accumulation Phase, where you bear the risk of unfavorable interest rate changes. You may also bear the risk that the interest rates we will offer in the future and the rates we will use in determining your Fixed Annuity may not exceed our minimum guaranteed rate. Our minimum guaranteed interest rate will never be less than that permitted by law.

The Contract is designed for use in connection with retirement and deferred compensation plans, some of which qualify for favorable federal income tax treatment under Sections 401, 403, 408 or 408A of the Internal Revenue Code. The Contract is also designed so that it may be used in connection with certain non-tax-qualified retirement plans, such as payroll savings plans and such other groups (trusteed or non-trusteed) as may be eligible under applicable law. We refer to Contracts used with plans that receive favorable tax treatment as "Qualified Contracts," and all other Contracts as "Non-Qualified Contracts."

COMMUNICATING TO US ABOUT YOUR CONTRACT

All materials sent to us, including Purchase Payments, must be sent to our Annuity Mailing Address as set forth on the first page of this Prospectus. For all telephone communications, you must call (800) 752-7215.

Unless this Prospectus states differently, we will consider all materials sent to us and all telephone communications to be received on the date we actually receive them at our Annuity Mailing Address. However, we will consider all financial transactions, including Purchase Payments, withdrawal requests and transfer instructions, to be received on the next Business Day if we receive them (1) on a day that is not a Business Day or (2) after 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time.

When we specify that notice to us must be in writing, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to accept notice in another form.

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

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

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

THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT

We established the Variable Account as a separate account on July 13, 1989, pursuant to a resolution of our Board of Directors. The Variable Account funds the Contract and various other variable annuity and variable product contracts which we offer. These other products may have features, benefits and charges that are different from those under the Contract.

Under Delaware insurance law and the Contract, the income, gains or losses of the Variable Account are credited to or charged against the assets of the Variable Account without regard to the other income, gains, or losses of the Company. These assets are held in relation to the Contracts described in this Prospectus and other variable annuity contracts that provide benefits that vary in accordance with the investment performance of the Variable Account. Although the assets maintained in the Variable Account will not be charged with any liabilities arising out of any other business we conduct, all obligations arising under the Contracts, including the promise to make annuity payments, are general corporate obligations of the Company.

The assets of the Variable Account are divided into Sub-Accounts. Each Sub-Account invests exclusively in shares of a specific Fund. All amounts allocated to the Variable Account will be used to purchase Fund shares as designated by you at their net asset value. Any and all distributions made by the Funds with respect to the shares held by the Variable Account will be reinvested to purchase additional Fund shares at their net asset value. Deductions will be made from the Variable Account for cash withdrawals, annuity payments, death benefits, Account Fees, Contract charges against the assets of the Variable Account for the assumption of mortality and expense risks, administrative expenses and any applicable taxes. The Variable Account will be fully invested in Fund shares at all times.

VARIABLE ACCOUNT OPTIONS: THE MFS/SUN LIFE SERIES TRUST

The MFS/Sun Life Series Trust (the "Series Fund") is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Our affiliate, Massachusetts Financial Services Company ("MFS"), serves as the investment adviser to the Series Fund.

The Series Fund is composed of a number of independent portfolios of securities, each of which has separate investment objectives and policies. Shares of the Series Fund are issued in 31 series (each, a "Fund"), each corresponding to one of the portfolios. The Contract provides for investment by the Sub-Accounts in shares of the Funds described below. Additional portfolios may be added to the Series Fund which may or may not be available for investment by the Variable Account.

The Series Fund pays fees to MFS for its services pursuant to investment advisory agreements. MFS also serves as investment adviser to each of the funds in the MFS Family of Funds, and to certain other investment companies established by MFS and/or us. MFS Institutional Advisers, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of MFS, provides investment advice to substantial private clients.

MFS and its predecessor organizations have a history of money management dating from 1924. MFS operates as an autonomous organization and the obligation of performance with respect to the investment advisory and underwriting agreements (including supervision of the sub-advisers noted below) is solely that of MFS. We undertake no obligation in this regard.

MFS may serve as the investment adviser to other mutual funds which have similar investment goals and principal investment policies and risks as the Series, and which may be managed by a Fund's portfolio manager(s). While a Fund may have many similarities to these other funds, its investment performance will differ from their investment performance. This is due to a number of differences between a Fund and these similar products, including differences in sales charges, expense ratios and cash flows.

The Series Fund also offers its shares to other separate accounts established by the Company and our New York subsidiary in connection with variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts. Although we do not anticipate any disadvantages to this arrangement, there is a possibility that a material conflict may arise between the interests of the Variable Account and one or more of the other separate accounts investing in the Series Fund. A conflict may occur due to differences in tax laws affecting the operations of

variable life and variable annuity separate accounts, or some other reason. We and the Series Fund's Board of Trustees will monitor events for such conflicts, and, in the event of a conflict, we will take steps necessary to remedy the conflict, including withdrawal of the Variable Account from participation in the Fund which is involved in the conflict or substitution of shares of other Funds or other mutual funds.

More comprehensive information about the series fund and the management, investment objectives, policies, restrictions, expenses and potential risks of each fund may be found in the current prospectus of the Series Fund. You should read the Series Fund prospectus carefully before investing. The Series Fund prospectus and the Series Fund's Statement of Additional Information are available by calling 1-800-752-7215.

THE FIXED ACCOUNT

The Fixed Account is made up of all the general assets of the Company other than those allocated to any separate account. Amounts you allocate to Guarantee Periods become part of the Fixed Account, and are available to fund the claims of all classes of our customers, including claims for benefits under the Contracts.

We will invest the assets of the Fixed Account in those assets we choose that are allowed by applicable state insurance laws. In general, these laws permit investments, within specified limits and subject to certain qualifications, in federal, state and municipal obligations, corporate bonds, preferred and common stocks, real estate mortgages, real estate and certain other investments. We intend to invest primarily in investment-grade fixed income securities (i.e., rated by a nationally recognized rating service within the 4 highest grades) or instruments we believe are of comparable quality.

We are not obligated to invest amounts allocated to the Fixed Account according to any particular strategy, except as may be required by applicable state insurance laws. You will not have a direct or indirect interest in the Fixed Account investments.

THE FIXED ACCOUNT OPTIONS: THE GUARANTEE PERIODS

 

You may elect one or more Guarantee Period(s) from those we make available. From time to time, we may offer Guarantee Periods of different durations or stop offering some Guarantee Periods. Once we stop offering a Guarantee Period of a particular duration, allocations, transfers or renewals into that Guarantee Period will not be permitted. We publish Guaranteed Interest Rates for each Guarantee Period offered. We may change the Guaranteed Interest Rates we offer from time to time, but no Guaranteed Interest Rate will ever be less than the minimum guaranteed rate permitted by state law. Also, once we have accepted your allocation to a particular Guarantee Period, we promise that the Guaranteed Interest Rate applicable to that allocation will not change for the duration of the Guarantee Period.

We determine Guaranteed Interest Rates at our discretion. We do not have a specific formula for establishing the rates for different Guarantee Periods. Our determination will be influenced by the interest rates on fixed income investments in which we may invest amounts allocated to the Guarantee Periods. We will also consider other factors in determining these rates, including regulatory and tax requirements, sales commissions and administrative expenses borne by us, general economic trends and competitive factors. We cannot predict the level of future interest rates.

We may from time to time at our discretion offer interest rate specials for new Purchase Payments that are higher than the rates we are then offering for renewals or transfers.

Early withdrawals from your allocation to a Guarantee Period, including cash withdrawals, transfers, and commencement of an annuity option, may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment, which could decrease or increase the value of your Account. See "Withdrawals, Withdrawal Charge and Market Value Adjustment."

THE ACCUMULATION PHASE

During the Accumulation Phase of your Contract, you make Payments into your Account, and your earnings accumulate on a tax-deferred basis. The Accumulation Phase begins with our acceptance of your first Purchase Payment and ends the Business Day before your Annuity Commencement Date. The Accumulation Phase will end sooner if you surrender your Contract or the "Covered Person" dies before the Annuity Commencement Date.

Issuing Your Contract

When you purchase a Contract, a completed Application and the initial Purchase Payment are sent to us for acceptance. When we accept an Individual Contract, we issue the Contract to you. When we accept a Group Contract, we issue the Contract to the Owner; we issue a Certificate to you as a Participant.

We will credit your initial Purchase Payment to your Account within 2 business days of receiving your completed Application. If your Application is not complete, we will notify you. If we do not have the necessary information to complete the Application within 5 business days, we will send your money back to you or ask your permission to retain your Purchase Payment until the Application is made complete. Then we will apply the Purchase Payment within 2 business days of when the Application is complete.

Amount and Frequency of Purchase Payments

The amount of Purchase Payments may vary; however, we will not accept an initial Purchase Payment of less than $10,000, and each additional Purchase Payment must be at least $1,000, unless we waive these limits. In addition, we will not accept a Purchase Payment if your Account Value is over $2 million, or if the Purchase Payment would cause your Account Value to exceed $2 million, unless we have approved the Payment in advance. Within these limits, you may make Purchase Payments at any time during the Accumulation Phase.

Allocation of Net Purchase Payments

You may allocate your Purchase Payments among the different Sub-Accounts and Guarantee Periods we offer, but any allocation to a Guarantee Period must be at least $1,000. Over the life of your Contract, you may allocate amounts among as many as 18 of the available options.

In your Application, you may specify the percentage of each Purchase Payment to be allocated to each Sub-Account or Guarantee Period. These percentages are called your allocation factors. Your allocation factors will remain in effect as long as your selected Sub-Accounts and Guarantee Periods continue to be available for investment. You may, however, change the allocation factors for future Payments by sending us notice of the change in a form acceptable to us. We will use your new allocation factors for the first Purchase Payment we receive with or after we have received notice of the change, and for all future Purchase Payments, until we receive another change notice.

Although it is currently not our practice, we may deduct applicable premium taxes or similar taxes from your Purchase Payments (see "Contract Charges -- Premium Taxes"). In that case, we will credit your Net Purchase Payment, which is the Purchase Payment minus the amount of those taxes.

Your Account

When we accept your first Purchase Payment, we establish an Account for you, which we maintain throughout the Accumulation Phase of your Contract.

Your Account Value

Your Account Value is the sum of the value of the 2 components of your Contract: the Variable Account portion of your Contract ("Variable Account Value") and the Fixed Account portion of your Contract ("Fixed Account Value"). These 2 components are calculated separately, as described under "Variable Account Value" and "Fixed Account Value."

Purchase Payment Interest

We will credit your Contract with interest at the rate you selected when you applied for the Contract. Currently, we offer 2 interest rate options:

OPTION A: The 2% Five -Year Anniversary Interest Option -- Under this option we will credit your Contract with interest at a rate of 2% of each Purchase Payment received prior to the first Account Anniversary. In addition, if you chose this option, we will credit your Contract with interest at a rate of 2% of the Account Value at the end of every Fifth-Year Anniversary.

OPTION B: The 3%, 4%, or 5% Interest Option -- Under this option we will credit your Contract with interest at the following rates:

o

3% of each Purchase Payment if the sum of all Purchase Payments, reduced by the sum of all withdrawals (your "Net Purchase Payments"), is less than $100,000 on the day we receive the Purchase Payment;

   

o

4% of each Purchase Payment if your Net Purchase Payments is $100,000 or more but less than $500,000 on the day we receive the Purchase Payment; and

   

o

5% of each Purchase Payment if your Net Purchase Payments are $500,000 or more on the day we receive the Purchase Payment.

If you chose this Option B, there may be an additional credit paid at the end of the first Account Year. If your Net Purchase Payments at the end of your first Account Year are greater than or equal to $100,000, but less than $500,000, and some of your Net Purchase Payment(s) received a credit of 3% (rather than 4%), then an additional 1% will be paid on the amount of Net Purchase Payments that received the 3% credit. Similarly, if your Net Purchase Payments at the end of your first Account Year are greater than or equal to $500,000 and some of your Purchase Payment(s) received a credit of either 3% or 4% (rather than 5%), then an additional 2% or 1% will be paid on the amount of Net Purchase Payments that received a 3% credit or a 4% credit, respectively.

We credit Purchase Payment Interest during the same Valuation Period in which we receive the Purchase Payment. We allocate the Purchase Payment Interest to the Sub-Accounts and/or the Guarantee Periods in the same proportion as the Net Purchase Payment is allocated. For any additional 1% or 2% interest credit under Option B or any Fifth-Year Anniversary credit under Option A, we allocate the credit on a pro rata basis to all Sub-Accounts and/or Guarantee Periods in which you are invested, excluding any Guarantee Periods established to support a dollar-cost averaging program. Any additional interest adjustments will be credited on your Account Anniversary.

The Contracts are designed to give the most value to Participants with long-term investment goals. We will deduct the "Adjusted" Purchase Payment Interest if the Contract is returned during the "free look period." For a description of the free look period and Adjusted Purchase Payment Interest, see "Right to Return." For examples of how we calculate Purchase Payment Interest, see Appendix I.

We may credit Purchase Payment Interest at rates other than those described above on Contracts sold to officers, directors and employees of the Company or its affiliates, registered representatives, and employees of broker-dealers with a current selling agreement with the Company and affiliates of such representatives and broker-dealers, employees of affiliated asset management firms, and persons who have retired from such positions ("Eligible Employees") and immediate family members of Eligible Employees. The Company expects to make a profit on Purchase Payment Interest from the mortality and expense risk charge.

We may also credit the Purchase Payment Interest rates described above using different Net Purchase Payment dollar amount thresholds. Any change in the Net Purchase Payment dollar amount thresholds will be offered to all Participants on a prospective basis.

See "Tax Considerations -- Qualified Retirement Plans," if this Contract is to be purchased in connection with a tax qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Code or a tax deferred annuity arrangement under Section 403(b) of the Code.

Variable Account Value

     Variable Accumulation Units

In order to calculate your Variable Account Value, we use a measure called a Variable Accumulation Unit for each Sub-Account. Your Variable Account Value is the sum of your Account Value in each Sub-Account, which is the number of your Variable Accumulation Units for that Sub-Account times the value of each Unit.

     Variable Accumulation Unit Value

The value of each Variable Accumulation Unit in a Sub-Account reflects the net investment performance of that Sub-Account. We determine that value once on each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading, at the close of trading, which is currently 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time. (The close of trading is determined by the New York Stock Exchange.) We also may determine the value of Variable Accumulation Units of a Sub-Account on days the Exchange is closed if there is enough trading in securities held by that Sub-Account to materially affect the value of the Variable Accumulation Units. Each day we make a valuation is called a "Business Day." The period that begins at the time Variable Accumulation Units are valued on a Business Day and ends at that time on the next Business Day is called a Valuation Period. On days other than Business Days, the value of a Variable Accumulation Unit does not change.

To measure these values, we use a factor -- which we call the Net Investment Factor -- which represents the net return on the Sub-Account's assets. At the end of any Valuation Period, the value of a Variable Accumulation Unit for a Sub-Account is equal to the value of that Sub-Account's Variable Accumulation Units at the end of the previous Valuation Period, multiplied by the Net Investment Factor. We calculate the Net Investment Factor by dividing (1) the net asset value of a Fund share held in the Sub-Account at the end of that Valuation Period, plus the per share amount of any dividend or capital gains distribution made by that Fund during the Valuation Period, by (2) the net asset value per share of the Fund share at the end of the previous Valuation Period; then, for each day in the Valuation Period, we deduct a factor representing the asset-based insurance charges (the mortality and expense risk charges and the administrative expense charge) plus any applicable charge for optional death benefit riders. See "Contract Charges."

For a hypothetical example of how we calculate the value of a Variable Accumulation Unit, see the Statement of Additional Information.

     Crediting and Canceling Variable Accumulation Units

When we receive an allocation to a Sub-Account, either from a Net Purchase Payment or a transfer of Account Value, we credit that amount to your Account in Variable Accumulation Units. Similarly, we cancel Variable Accumulation Units when you transfer or withdraw amounts from a Sub-Account, or when we deduct certain charges under the Contract. We determine the number of Units credited or canceled by dividing the dollar amount by the Variable Accumulation Unit value for that Sub-Account at the end of the Valuation Period during which the transaction or charge is effective.

Fixed Account Value

Your Fixed Account value is the sum of all amounts allocated to Guarantee Periods, either from Net Purchase Payments, transfers or renewals, plus interest credited on those amounts, and minus withdrawals, transfers out of Guarantee Periods, and any deductions for charges under the Contract taken from your Fixed Account Value.

A Guarantee Period begins the day we apply your allocation and ends when the number of calendar years (or months if the Guarantee Period is less than one year) in the Guarantee Period (measured from the end of the calendar month in which the amount was allocated to the Guarantee Period) have elapsed. The last day of the Guarantee Period is its Renewal Date.

Each additional Purchase Payment, transfer or renewal credited to your Fixed Account Value will result in a new Guarantee Period with its own Renewal Date. Amounts allocated at different times to Guarantee Periods of the same duration may have different Renewal Dates.

     Crediting Interest

We credit interest on amounts allocated to a Guarantee Period at the applicable Guaranteed Interest Rate for the duration of the Guarantee Period. During the Guarantee Period, we credit interest daily at a rate that yields the Guaranteed Interest Rate on an annual effective basis.

     Guarantee Amounts

Each separate allocation you make to a Guarantee Period, together with interest credited thereon, is called a Guarantee Amount. Each Guarantee Amount is treated separately for purposes of determining the Market Value Adjustment. We may restrict a Guarantee Period that will extend beyond your maximum Annuity Commencement Date. Renewals into a Guarantee Period that extends beyond your maximum Annuity Commencement Date will result in an application of a Market Value Adjustment upon annuitization or withdrawals. Each new allocation to a Guarantee Period must be at least $1,000.

     Renewals

We will notify you in writing between 45 and 75 days before the Renewal Date for any Guarantee Amount. If you would like to change your Fixed Account option, we must receive from you prior to the Renewal Date:

o

written notice electing a different Guarantee Period from among those we then offer, or

   

o

written instructions to transfer the Guarantee Amount to one or more Sub-Accounts, in accordance with the transfer privilege provisions of the Contract (see "Transfer Privilege.")

If we receive no instructions from you prior to the Renewal Date, we will automatically renew your Fixed Account allocation into a new Guarantee Period of the same duration as the last Guarantee Period. If we are no longer offering a Guarantee Period of the same duration, we will automatically transfer your Fixed Account allocation into the Money Market Sub-Account.

A Guarantee Amount will not renew into a Guarantee Period that will extend beyond your Maximum Annuity Commencement Date. In that case, unless you notify us otherwise, we will automatically renew your Guarantee Amount into the Money Market Sub-Account.

 

 

     Early Withdrawals

If you withdraw, transfer, or annuitize an allocation to a Guarantee Period more than 30 days prior to the Renewal Date, we will apply a Market Value Adjustment to the transaction. This could result in an increase or decrease of your Account Value, depending on interest rates at the time. You bear the risk that you will receive less than your principal if the Market Value Adjustment applies.

Transfer Privilege

     Permitted Transfers

During the Accumulation Phase, you may transfer all or part of your Account Value to one or more Sub-Accounts or Guarantee Periods then available, subject to the following restrictions:

o

You may not make more than 12 transfers in any Account Year;

   

o

The amount transferred from a Sub-Account must be at least $1,000, unless you are transferring your entire balance in that Sub-Account;

   

o

Your Account Value remaining in a Sub-Account must be at least $1,000;

   

o

The amount transferred from a Guarantee Period must be the entire Guarantee Amount, except for transfers of interest credited during the current Account Year;

   

o

At least 30 days must elapse between transfers to and from Guarantee Periods;

   

o

Transfers to or from Sub-Accounts are subject to terms and conditions that may be imposed by the Funds;

   

o

The total number of Sub-Accounts and Guarantee Periods within an Account may not exceed 18 over the lifetime of the Contract; and

   

o

We impose additional restrictions on market timers, which are further described below.

These restrictions do not apply to transfers made under any approved Optional Program. At our discretion, we may waive some or all of these restrictions.

There is usually no charge imposed on transfers; however, we reserve the right to impose a transfer charge of $15 for each transfer. Transfers out of a Guarantee Period more than 30 days before the Renewal Date or any time after the Renewal Date will be subject to the Market Value Adjustment described below. Under current law, there is no tax liability for transfers.

     Requests for Transfers

You may request transfers in writing or by telephone. If the request is by telephone, it must be made before the earlier of (a) 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a Business Day, or (b) the close of the New York Stock Exchange on days that the Stock Exchange closes before 4:00 p.m. Otherwise, your transfer request will be effective on the next Business Day. The telephone transfer privilege is available automatically, and does not require your written election. We will require personal identifying information to process a request for a transfer made by telephone. We will not be liable for following instructions communicated by telephone that we reasonably believe are genuine.

Your transfer request will be effective as of the close of the Business Day if we receive your transfer request before the earlier of (a) 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a Business Day, or (b) the close of the New York Stock Exchange on days that the Stock Exchange closes before 4:00 p.m. Otherwise, your transfer request will be effective on the next Business Day.

     Market Timers

The Contracts are not designed for professional market timing organizations or other entities using programmed and frequent transfers. If you wish to employ such strategies, you should not purchase a Contract. Accordingly, transfers may be subject to restrictions if exercised by a market timing firm or any other third party authorized to initiate transfer transactions on behalf of multiple Participants. In imposing such restrictions, we may, among other things, not accept (1) the transfer instructions of any agent acting under a power of attorney on behalf of more than one Participant, or (2) the transfer instructions of individual Participants who have executed pre-authorized transfer forms that are submitted at the same time by market timing firms or other third parties on behalf of more than one Participant. We will not impose these restrictions unless our actions are reasonably intended to prevent the use of such transfers in a manner that will disadvantage or potentially impair the Contract rights of other Participants.

In addition, the Series Funds has reserved the right to temporarily or permanently refuse exchange requests from the Variable Account if, in MFS' judgment, a Fund would be unable to invest effectively in accordance with its investment objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected. In particular, a pattern of exchanges that coincide with a market timing strategy may be disruptive to a Fund and therefore may be refused. Accordingly, the Variable Account may not be in a position to effectuate transfers and may refuse transfer requests without prior notice. We also reserve the right, for similar reasons, to refuse or delay exchange requests involving transfers to or from the Fixed Account.

Waivers; Reduced Charges; Credits; Bonus Guaranteed Interest Rates

We may reduce or waive the withdrawal charge, the mortality and expense risk charges, the administrative services charge, or the annual Account Fee, credit additional amounts, or grant bonus Guaranteed Interest Rates in certain situations. These situations may include sales of Contracts (1) where selling and/or maintenance costs associated with the Contracts are reduced, such as the sale of several Contracts to the same Participant, sales of large Contracts, and certain group sales, and (2) to officers, directors and employees of the Company or its affiliates, registered representatives and employees of broker-dealers with a current selling agreement with the Company and affiliates of such representatives and broker-dealers, employees of affiliated asset management firms, and persons who have retired from such positions ("Eligible Employees") and immediate family members of Eligible Employees. Eligible Employees and their immediate family members may also purchase a Contract without regard to minimum Purchase Payment requirements. For other situations in which withdrawal charges may be waived, see "Withdrawals, Withdrawal Charge and Market Value Adjustment."

Optional Programs

     Dollar-Cost Averaging

Dollar-cost averaging allows you to invest gradually, over time, in up to 12 Sub-Accounts. You may select a dollar-cost averaging program at no extra charge by allocating a minimum of $1,000 to a designated Sub-Account or to a Guarantee Period we make available in connection with the program. Amounts allocated to the Fixed Account under the program will earn interest at a rate declared by the Company for the Guarantee Period you select. Previously applied amounts may not be transferred to a Guarantee Period made available in connection with this program. Each month or quarter, as you select, we will transfer the same amount automatically (including a portion of the Purchase Payment Interest) to one or more Sub-Accounts that you choose, up to a maximum of 12 Sub-Accounts. The program continues until your Account Value allocated to the program is depleted or you elect to stop the program. The final amount transferred from the Fixed Account will include all interest earned (excluding Purchase Payment Interest).

No Market Value Adjustment (either positive or negative) will apply to amounts automatically transferred from the Fixed Account under the dollar-cost averaging program. However, if you discontinue or alter the program prior to completion, amounts remaining in the Fixed Account will be transferred to the Series Trust's Money Market Sub-Account, unless you instruct us otherwise, and the Market Value Adjustment will be applied. Any new allocation of a Purchase Payment to the program is treated as commencing a new dollar-cost averaging program and is subject to the $1,000 minimum.

The main objective of a dollar-cost averaging program is to minimize the impact of short-term price fluctuations on Account Value. In general, since you transfer the same dollar amount to the variable investment options at set intervals, dollar-cost averaging allows you to purchase more Variable Accumulation Units (and, indirectly, more Fund shares) when prices are low and fewer Variable Accumulation Units (and, indirectly, fewer Fund shares) when prices are high. Therefore, you may achieve a lower average cost per Variable Accumulation Unit over the long term. A dollar-cost averaging program allows you to take advantage of market fluctuations. However, it is important to understand that a dollar-cost averaging program does not assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market. We do not allow transfers into any of the Guarantee Periods.

     Asset Allocation

One or more asset allocation programs may be available in connection with the Contracts, 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 available asset allocation models, each of which represents a combination of Sub-Accounts with a different level of risk. These 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 programs in the future.

If you elect an asset allocation program, we will automatically allocate your Purchase Payments among the Sub-Accounts represented in the model you choose. By electing an asset allocation program, you thereby authorize us to automatically reallocate your investment options, as determined by the terms of the asset allocation program, to reflect the current composition of the model you have selected, without further instruction, until we receive notification that you wish to terminate the program, or choose a different model.

     Systematic Withdrawal and Interest out Programs

If you have an Account Value of $10,000 or more, you may select our Systematic Withdrawal Program or our Interest out Program.

Under the Systematic Withdrawal Program, you determine the amount and frequency of regular withdrawals you would like to receive from your Fixed Account Value and/or Variable Account Value and we will effect them automatically; a Market Value Adjustment may be applicable upon withdrawal. Under the Interest out Program, we automatically pay to you, or reinvest, interest credited for all Guarantee Periods you have chosen. The withdrawals under these programs are subject to surrender charges. They may also be included as income and subject to a 10% federal tax penalty. You should consult your tax adviser before choosing these options.

You may change or stop either program at any time, by written notice to us.

     Portfolio Rebalancing Program

Under the Portfolio Rebalancing Program, we transfer funds among the Sub-Accounts to maintain the percentage allocation you have selected among these Sub-Accounts. At your election, we will make these transfers on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis.

Portfolio Rebalancing does not permit transfers to or from any Guarantee Period.

     Secured Futures Program

Under the Secured Futures Program, we divide your Purchase Payments and Purchase Payment Interest between the Fixed Account and the Variable Account. For the Fixed Account portion, you choose a Guarantee Period from among those we offer. We then allocate to that Guarantee Period the portion of your Purchase Payment and Purchase Payment Interest necessary so that, at the end of the Guarantee Period, your Fixed Account allocation, including interest, will equal the entire amount of your original Purchase Payment. The remainder of the original Purchase Payment and Purchase Payment Interest will be invested in the Sub-Accounts of your choice. At the end of the Guarantee Period, you will be guaranteed the amount of your Purchase Payment and Purchase Payment Interest(assuming no withdrawals), plus you will have the benefit, if any, of the investment performance of the Sub-Accounts you have chosen.

WITHDRAWALS, WITHDRAWAL CHARGE AND MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT

Cash Withdrawals

     Requesting a Withdrawal

At any time during the Accumulation Phase you may withdraw in cash all or any portion of your Account Value. To make a withdrawal, you must send us a written request at our Annuity Mailing Address. Your request must specify whether you want to withdraw the entire amount of your Account or, if less, the amount you wish to receive.

All withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge (see "Withdrawal Charge," below), and withdrawals from your Fixed Account Value also may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment (see "Market Value Adjustment," below).Withdrawals also may have adverse federal income tax consequences, including a10% penalty tax (see "Tax Considerations"). You should carefully consider these tax consequences before requesting a cash withdrawal.

     Full Withdrawals

If you request a full withdrawal, we calculate the amount we will pay you as follows: We start with the total value of your Account at the end of the Valuation Period during which we receive your withdrawal request; we deduct the Account Fee for the Account Year in which the withdrawal is made; we add or subtract the amount of any Market Value Adjustment applicable to your Fixed Account Value; and finally, we deduct any applicable withdrawal charge.

A full withdrawal results in the surrender of your Contract, and cancellation of all rights and privileges under your Contract.

 

 

 

     Partial Withdrawals

If you request a partial withdrawal, we will pay you the actual amount specified in your request and then adjust the value of your Account by deducting the amount paid, adding or deducting any Market Value Adjustment applicable to amounts withdrawn from the Fixed Account, and deducting any applicable withdrawal charge.

You may specify the amount you want withdrawn from each Sub-Account and/or Guarantee Amount to which your Account is allocated. If you do not so specify, we will deduct the total amount you request pro rata, based on your Account Value at the end of the Valuation Period during which we receive your request.

If you request a partial withdrawal that would result in your Account Value being reduced to an amount less than the Account Fee for the Account Year in which you make the withdrawal, we will treat it as a request for a full withdrawal.

     Time of Payment

We will pay you the applicable amount of any full or partial withdrawal within 7 days after we receive your withdrawal request, except in cases where we are permitted, and choose, to defer payment under the Investment Company Act of1940 and applicable state insurance law. Currently, we may defer payment of amounts you withdraw from the Variable Account only for the following periods:

o

When the New York Stock Exchange is closed (except weekends and holidays) or when trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;

   

o

When it is not reasonably practical to dispose of securities held by a Fund or to determine the value of the net assets of a Fund, because an emergency exists; or

   

o

When an SEC order permits us to defer payment for the protection of Participants.

We also may defer payment of amounts you withdraw from the Fixed Account for up to 6 months from the date we receive your withdrawal request. We do not pay interest on the amount of any payments we defer.

     Withdrawal Restrictions for Qualified Plans

If your Contract is a Qualified Contract, you should carefully check the terms of your retirement plan for limitations and restrictions on cash withdrawals.

Special restrictions apply to withdrawals from Contracts used for Section 403(b) annuities. See "Tax Considerations -- Tax-Sheltered Annuities."

Withdrawal Charge

We do not deduct any sales charge from your Purchase Payments when they are made. However, we may impose a withdrawal charge (known as a "contingent deferred sales charge") on certain amounts you withdraw. We impose this charge to defray some of our expenses related to the sale of the Contracts, such as commissions we pay to agents, the cost of sales literature, and other promotional costs and transaction expenses.

     Free Withdrawal Amount

In each Account Year you may withdraw a portion of your Account Value -- which we call the "free withdrawal amount" -- before incurring the withdrawal charge. For any year, the free withdrawal amount is equal to the amount of all Purchase Payments made before the last 7 Account Years that you have not previously withdrawn, plus the greater of:

o

your Contract's earnings (defined below) during the prior Account Year; and

   

o

10% of the amount of all Purchase Payments you have made during the last 7 Account Years, including the current Account Year.

Any portion of the "free withdrawal amount" that you do not use in an Account Year is not cumulative; that is, it will not be carried forward or available for use in future years.

Your Contract's earnings during the prior Account Year are equal to:

o

the difference between your Account Value at the end of the prior Account Year and your Account Value at the beginning of the prior Account Year, minus

   

o

any Purchase Payments made during the prior Account Year, plus

   

o

any partial withdrawals and charges taken during the prior Account Year.

For an example of how we calculate the "free withdrawal amount", see Appendix B.

     Order of Withdrawal

When you make a withdrawal, we consider the oldest remaining Purchase Payment to be withdrawn first, then the next oldest, and so forth. Once all Purchase Payments are withdrawn, the balance withdrawn is considered to be accumulated value and is not subject to a withdrawal charge.

     Calculation of Withdrawal Charge

We calculate the amount of the withdrawal charge by multiplying the Purchase Payments you withdraw by a percentage. The percentage varies according to the number of Account Years the Purchase Payment has been held in your Account, including the Account Year in which you made the Payment, but not the Account Year in which you withdraw it. Each Payment begins a new 7 year period and moves down a declining surrender charge scale as shown below at each Account Anniversary. Payments received during the current Account Year will be charged 8%, if withdrawn. On your next scheduled Account Anniversary, that Payment, along with any other Payments made during that Account Year, will be considered to be in their second Account Year and will have an 8% withdrawal charge. On the next Account Anniversary, these Payments will move into their third Account Year and will have a withdrawal charge of 7%, if withdrawn. This withdrawal charge decreases according to the number of Account Years the Purchase Payment has been held in your Account.

For example, the percentage applicable to withdrawals of a Payment that has been in an Account for more than 2 Account Years but less than 3 will be 7% regardless of the issue date of the Contract.

The withdrawal charge will never be greater than 8% of the excess of Purchase Payments you make under your Contract over the "free withdrawal amount," as defined above.

For a Group Contract, we may modify the withdrawal charges and limits, upon notice to the Owner of the Group Contract. However, any modification will apply only to Accounts established after the date of the modification.

For additional examples of how we calculate withdrawal charges, see Appendix B.

Types of Withdrawals Not Subject to Withdrawal Charge

     Nursing Home Waiver

If approved by your state, we will waive the withdrawal charge for a full withdrawal if:

o

at least one year has passed since we issued your Contract, and

   

o

you are confined to an eligible nursing home and have been confined there for at least the preceding 180 days, or any shorter period required by your state.

   

o

your confinement to an eligible nursing home began after your Issue Date.

An "eligible nursing home" means a licensed hospital or licensed skilled or intermediate care nursing facility at which medical treatment is available on a daily basis and daily medical records are kept for each patient. You must provide us with evidence of confinement in the form we determine.

     Minimum Distributions

For each Qualified Contract, the free withdrawal amount in any Account Year will be the greater of the free withdrawal amount described above or any amounts required to be withdrawn to comply with the minimum distribution requirement of the Internal Revenue Code. This waiver of the withdrawal charge applies only to the portion of the required minimum distribution attributable to that Qualified Contract.

     Other Withdrawals

We do not impose the withdrawal charge on amounts you apply to provide an annuity, amounts we pay as a death benefit (except under the Cash Surrender method), or amounts you transfer among the Sub-Accounts, between the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account, or within the Fixed Account.

Market Value Adjustment

We will apply a Market Value Adjustment if you withdraw or transfer amounts from your Fixed Account Value more than 30 days before the end of the applicable Guarantee Period. For this purpose, using Fixed Account Value to provide an annuity is considered a withdrawal, and the Market Value Adjustment will apply. However, we will not apply the Market Value Adjustment to automatic transfers to a Sub-Account from a Guarantee Period as part of our dollar-cost averaging program.

We apply the Market Value Adjustment separately to each Guarantee Amount in the Fixed Account, that is to each separate allocation you have made to a Guarantee Period together with interest credited on that allocation. However, we do not apply the adjustment to the amount of interest credited during your current Account Year. Any withdrawal from a Guarantee Amount is attributed first to such interest.

A Market Value Adjustment may decrease, increase or have no effect on your Account Value. This will depend on changes in interest rates since you made your allocation to the Guarantee Period and the length of time remaining in the Guarantee Period. In general, if the Guaranteed Interest Rate we currently declare for Guarantee Periods equal to the balance of your Guarantee Period (or your entire Guarantee Period for Guarantee Periods of less than one year) is higher than your Guaranteed Interest Rate, the Market Value Adjustment is likely to decrease your Account Value. If our current Guaranteed Interest Rate is lower, the Market Value Adjustment is likely to increase your Account Value.

We determine the amount of the Market Value Adjustment by multiplying the amount that is subject to the adjustment by the following formula:

[(1 + I) / (1 + J + b)] ^ (N/12)   -1

where:

I

is the Guaranteed Interest Rate applicable to the Guarantee Amount from which you withdraw, transfer or annuitize;

   

J

is the Guaranteed Interest Rate we declare at the time of your withdrawal, transfer or annuitization for Guarantee Periods equal to the length of time remaining in the Guarantee Period applicable to your Guarantee Amount, rounded to the next higher number of complete years, for Guarantee Periods of one year or more. For any Guarantee Periods of less than one year, J is the Guaranteed Interest Rate we declare at the time of your withdrawal, transfer or annuitization for a Guarantee Period of the same length as your Guarantee Period. If, at that time, we do not offer the applicable Guarantee Period we will use an interest rate determined by straight-line interpolation of the Guaranteed Interest Rates for the Guarantee Periods we do offer;

   

N

is the number of complete months remaining in your Guarantee Period; and

   

b

is a factor that currently is 0% but that in the future we may increase to up to 0.25%. Any increase would be applicable only to Participants who purchase their Contracts after the date of that increase. The "b" factor is the amount that will be used to cover market volatility (I.E., credit risk), basis risk, and /or liquidity costs.

We will apply the Market Value Adjustment to the amount being withdrawn after deduction of any Account Fee, if applicable, but before we impose any withdrawal charge on the amount withdrawn.

For examples of how we calculate the Market Value Adjustment, see Appendix B.

No Market Value Adjustment will apply to Contracts issued in the states of California, Maryland, Oregon, Texas and Washington.

CONTRACT CHARGES

Account Fee

During the Accumulation Phase of your Contract, we will deduct from your Account an annual Account Fee of $35 to help cover the administrative expenses we incur related to the issuance of Contracts and the maintenance of Accounts. We deduct the Account Fee on each Account Anniversary. In Account Years 1through 5, the Account Fee is $35. After Account Year 5, we may change the Account Fee each year, but the Account Fee will never exceed $50. We deduct the Account Fee pro rata from each Sub-Account and each Guarantee Period, based on the allocation of your Account Value on your Account Anniversary.

We will not charge the Account Fee if:

o

your Account has been allocated only to the Fixed Account during the applicable Account Year; or

   

o

your Account Value is more than $100,000 on your Account Anniversary.

If you make a full withdrawal of your Account, we will deduct the full amount of the Account Fee at the time of the withdrawal. In addition, on the Annuity Commencement Date we will deduct a pro rata portion of the Account Fee to reflect the time elapsed between the last Account Anniversary and the day before the Annuity Commencement Date.

After the Annuity Commencement Date, we will deduct an annual Account Fee of $35 in the aggregate in equal amounts from each Variable Annuity payment we make during the year. We do not deduct any Account Fee from Fixed Annuity payments.

Administrative Expense Charge

We deduct an administrative expense charge from the assets of the Variable Account at an annual effective rate equal to 0.15% during both the Accumulation Phase and the Income Phase. This charge is designed to reimburse us for expenses we incur in administering the Contracts, the Accounts and the Variable Account that are not covered by the annual Account Fee.

 

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge

During both the Accumulation Phase and the Income Phase, we deduct a mortality and expense risk charge from the assets of the Variable Account at an effective annual rate equal to 1.30%. The mortality risk we assume arises from our contractual obligation to continue to make annuity payments to each Annuitant, regardless of how long the Annuitant lives and regardless of how long all Annuitants as a group live. This obligation assures each Annuitant that neither the longevity of fellow Annuitants nor an improvement in life expectancy generally will have an adverse effect on the amount of any annuity payment received under the Contract. The mortality risk also arises from our contractual obligation to pay a death benefit upon the death of the Participant prior to the Annuity Commencement Date. The expense risk we assume is the risk that the Account Fee and administrative expense charge we assess under the Contracts may be insufficient to cover the actual total administrative expenses we incur. If the amount of the charge is insufficient to cover the mortality and expense risks, we will bear the loss. If the amount of the charge is more than sufficient to cover the risks, we will make a profit on the charge. We expect to make a profit on the excess expense charge associated with the Purchase Payment Interest. We may use this profit for any proper corporate purpose, including the payment of marketing and distribution expenses for the Contracts.

Charges for Optional Death Benefit Riders

If you elect an optional death benefit rider, we will deduct a charge from the assets of the Variable Account depending upon which of the optional death benefit rider(s) you elect.

Premium Taxes

Some states and local jurisdictions impose a premium tax on us that is equal to a specified percentage of the Purchase Payments you make. In many states there is no premium tax. We believe that the amounts of applicable premium taxes currently range from 0% to 3.5%. You should consult a tax adviser to find out if your state imposes a premium tax and the amount of any tax.

In order to reimburse us for the premium tax we may pay on Purchase Payments, our policy is to deduct the amount of such taxes from the amount you apply to provide an annuity at the time of annuitization. However, we reserve the right to deduct the amount of any applicable tax from your Account at anytime, including at the time you make a Purchase Payment or make a full or partial withdrawal. We do not make any profit on the deductions we make to reimburse premium taxes.

Fund Expenses

There are fees and charges deducted from each Fund. These fees and expenses are described in the Fund prospectus(es) and related Statements of Additional Information.

 

Modification in the Case of Group Contracts

For Group Contracts, we may modify the annual Account Fee, the administrative expense charge and the mortality and expense risk charge upon notice to Owners. However, such modification will apply only with respect to Participant Accounts established after the effective date of the modification.

DEATH BENEFIT

If you die during the Accumulation Phase, we will pay a death benefit to your Beneficiary, using the payment method elected (a single cash payment or one of our Annuity Options). If the Beneficiary is not living on your date of death, we will pay the death benefit in one sum to your estate. We do not pay a death benefit if you die during the Income Phase. However, the Beneficiary will receive any payments provided under an Annuity Option that is in effect.

Amount of Death Benefit

To calculate the amount of your death benefit, we use a "Death Benefit Date." The Death Benefit Date is the date we receive proof of your death in an acceptable form ("Due Proof of Death") if you have elected a death benefit payment method before your death and it remains effective. Otherwise, the Death Benefit Date is the later of the date we receive Due Proof of Death or the date we receive the Beneficiary's election of either payment method or, if the Beneficiary is your spouse, Contract continuation. If we do not receive the Beneficiary's election within 60 days after we receive Due Proof of Death, we reserve the right to provide a lump sum to your Beneficiary.

The amount of the death benefit is determined as of the Death Benefit Date.

The Basic Death Benefit

In general, if you were 85 or younger on your Contract Date (the date we accepted your first Purchase Payment), the death benefit will be the greatest of the following amounts:

(1)

Your Account Value for the Valuation Period during which the Death Benefit Date occurs;

   

(2)

The amount we would pay if you had surrendered your entire Account on the Death Benefit Date; and

   

(3)

Your total Purchase Payments (adjusted for partial withdrawals as described in "Calculating the Death Benefit") as of the Death Benefit Date.

For examples of how to calculate this basic death benefit, see Appendix C.

If you were 86 or older on your Contract Date, the death benefit is equal to amount (2) above. Because this amount will reflect any applicable withdrawal charges and Market Value Adjustment, the basic death benefit may be less than your Account Value.

Optional Death Benefit Riders

Subject to availability in your state, you may enhance the basic death benefit by electing one or more of the following optional death benefit riders. You must make your election before the date on which your Contract becomes effective. You will pay a charge for each optional death benefit rider you elect. (For a description of these charges, see "Charges for Optional Death Benefit Riders.") The riders are available only if you are younger than 80 on the Contract Date. Any optional death benefit rider election may not be changed after the Contract is issued. The death benefit under all optional death benefit riders will be adjusted for all partial withdrawals as described in the Prospectus under the heading "Calculating the Death Benefit." For examples of how the death benefit is calculated under the optional death benefit riders, see Appendices D - H.

 

     Maximum Anniversary Account Value ("MAV") Rider

Under this rider, the death benefit will be the greater of:

o

the amount payable under the basic death benefit, above, or

   

o

your highest Account Value on any Account Anniversary before your 81st birthday, adjusted for any subsequent Purchase Payments, partial withdrawals and charges made between that Account Anniversary and the Death Benefit Date.

     5% Premium Roll-Up ("5% Roll-Up") Rider

Under this rider, the death benefit will be the greater of:

o

the amount payable under the basic death benefit, above, or

   

o

the sum of your total Purchase Payments plus interest accruals, adjusted for partial withdrawals.

Under this rider, interest accrues at 5% per year on Purchase Payments and transfers to the Variable Account while they remain in the Variable Account. The 5% interest accruals will continue until the earlier of:

o

the first day of the month following your 80th birthday, or

o

the day the death benefit amount under this rider equals twice the total of your Purchase Payments and transferred amounts, adjusted for withdrawals.

     Earnings Enhancement ("EEB") Rider

If you elect this EEB Rider, your death benefit will be the amount payable under the basic death benefit, PLUS the "EEB amount." Calculated as of your Death Benefit Date, the "EEB amount" is determined as follows:

o

If you are 69 or younger on your Contract Date, the "EEB amount" will be 40% of the difference between your Account Value and your Net Purchase Payments, up to a cap of 40% of the Net Purchase Payments made prior to your death.

   

o

If you are between the ages of 70 and 79 on your Contract Date, the "EEB amount" will be 25% of the difference between your Account Value and your Net Purchase Payments, up to a cap of 25% of the Net Purchase Payments prior to your death.

     Earnings Enhancement Plus ("EEB Plus") Rider

If you elect this EEB Plus Rider, your death benefit will be the amount payable under the basic death benefit, PLUS the "EEB Plus amount." Calculated as of the Death Benefit Date, the "EEB Plus amount" is determined as follows:

o

If you are 69 or younger on your Contract Date, the "EEB Plus amount" will be 40% of the difference between your Account Value and your Net Purchase Payments, up to a cap of 100% of the Net Purchase Payments made prior to your death. After the 7th Contract year, the cap is 100% of the difference between your Net Purchase Payments and any Purchase Payments made within the twelve months prior to your death.

   

o

If you are between the ages of 70 and 79 on your Contract Date, the "EEB Plus amount" will be 25% of the difference between your Account Value and your Net Purchase Payments, up to a cap of 40% of the Net Purchase Payments made prior to your death. After the 7th Contract year, the cap is 40% of the difference between your Net Purchase Payments and any Purchase Payments made in the twelve months prior to your death.

     Earnings Enhancement Plus With MAV ("EEB Plus MAV") Rider

If you elect this EEB Plus MAV Rider, your death benefit will be the death benefit payable under the MAV Rider PLUS the "EEB Plus MAV amount." Calculated as of your Death Benefit Date, the "EEB Plus MAV amount" is as follows:

o

If you are 69 or younger on your Contract Date, the "EEB Plus MAV amount" will be 40% of the difference between the death benefit payable under the MAV Rider and your Net Purchase Payments, up to a cap of 100% of Net Purchase Payments made prior to your death. After your 7th Contract year, the cap is 100% of the difference between your Net Purchase Payments and any Purchase Payments made in the twelve months prior to your death.

   

o

If you are between the ages of 70 and 79 on your Contract Date, the "EEB Plus MAV amount" will be 25% of the difference between the death benefit payable under the MAV Rider and your Net Purchase Payments, up to a cap of 40% of Net Purchase Payments made prior to your death. After your 7th Contract year, the cap is 40% of the difference between your Net Purchase Payments and any Purchase Payments made in the twelve months prior to your death.

     Earnings Enhancement Plus With 5% Roll-Up ("EEB Plus 5% Roll-Up") Rider

If you elect this EEB Plus 5% Roll-Up Rider, your death benefit will be the death benefit payable under the 5% Roll-Up Rider PLUS the "EEB Plus 5% Roll-Up amount." Calculated as of your Death Benefit Date, the "EEB Plus 5% Roll-Up amount" is determined as follows:

o

If you are 69 or younger on your Contract Date, the "EEB Plus 5% Roll-Up amount" will be 40% of the difference between the death benefit payable under the 5% Roll-Up Rider and your Net Purchase Payments, up to a cap of 100% of Net Purchase Payments made prior to your death. After your 7th Contract year, the cap is 100% of the difference between your Net Purchase Payments and any Purchase Payments made in the twelve months prior to your death.

   

o

If you are between the ages of 70 and 79 on your Contract Date, the "EEB Plus 5% Roll-Up amount" will be 25% of the difference between the death benefit payable under the 5% Roll-Up Rider and your Net Purchase Payments, up to a cap of 40% of Net Purchase Payments made prior to your death. After your 7th Contract year, the cap is 40% of the difference between your Net Purchase Payments and any Purchase Payments made in the twelve months prior to your death.

     Selecting Multiple Death Benefit Riders

The MAV Rider, the 5% Roll-Up Rider, and the EEB Rider can be combined. If you elect more than one of these three optional death benefit riders, your death benefit will be calculated as follows:

o

MAV Rider combined with 5% Roll-Up Rider: The death benefit will equal the greater of the death benefit under the MAV Rider and the death benefit under the 5% Roll-Up Rider.

   

o

MAV Rider combined with EEB Rider: The death benefit will equal the death benefit under the MAV Rider, plus the "EEB amount." The "EEB amount" is calculated using the Account Value before the application of the MAV Rider.

   

o

EEB Rider combined with 5% Roll-Up Rider: The death benefit will equal the death benefit under the 5% Roll-Up Rider, plus the "EEB amount." The "EEB amount" is calculated using the Account Value before the application of the 5% Roll-Up Rider.

   

o

MAV Rider, the 5% Roll-Up Rider and the EEB Rider: The death benefit will equal the greater of the death benefit under the MAV Rider or the death benefit under the 5% Roll-Up Rider, plus the "EEB amount." The "EEB amount" is calculated using the Account Value before the application of the 5% Roll-Up Rider and the MAV Rider.

The EEB Plus, EEB Plus MAV and EEB Plus 5% Roll-Up Riders are designed to be "comprehensive" riders and may not be combined with each other or with any of the other death benefit riders.

Spousal Continuance

If your spouse is your Beneficiary, upon your death your spouse may elect to continue the Contract as the Participant, rather than receive the death benefit amount. In that case, we will not pay a death benefit, but the Contract's Account Value will be equal to your Contract's death benefit amount, as defined under the basic death benefit or any rider you have selected. All Contract provisions, including any riders you have selected, will continue as if your spouse had purchased the Contract on the Death Benefit Date with a value equal to the death benefit amount. For purposes of calculating death benefits and expenses from that date forward, the surviving spouse's age on the original effective date of the Contract will be used. Upon surrender or annuitization, this step-up to the spouse will not be treated as premium, but will be treated as income.

Calculating the Death Benefit

In calculating the death benefit amount payable under option (3) of the basic death benefit or any of the optional death benefit riders, any partial withdrawals will reduce the death benefit amount to an amount equal to the death benefit amount immediately before the withdrawal multiplied by the ratio of the Account Value immediately after the withdrawal to the Account Value immediately before the withdrawal.

If the death benefit is the amount payable under options (2) or (3) of the basic death benefit or under any of the optional death benefit riders, your Account Value will be increased by the excess, if any, of that amount over option (1) of the basic death benefit. Any such increase will be allocated to the Sub-Accounts in proportion to your Account Value in those Sub-Accounts on the Death Benefit Date. Also, any portion of this new Account Value attributed to the Fixed Account will be transferred to the Sun Capital Money Market Sub-Account (without the application of a Market Value Adjustment). If your spouse, as the named Beneficiary, elects to continue the Contract after your death, your spouse may transfer any such Fixed Account portion back to the Fixed Account and begin a new Guarantee Period.

Method of Paying Death Benefit

The death benefit may be paid in a single cash payment or as an annuity (either fixed, variable or a combination), under one or more of our Annuity Options. We describe the Annuity Options in this Prospectus under "The Income Phase -- Annuity Provisions."

<R>

During the Accumulation Phase, you may elect the method of payment for the death benefit. These elections are made by sending us at our Service Address an election form, which we will provide. If no such election is in effect on the date of your death, the Beneficiary may elect either a single cash payment or an annuity. If the Beneficiary is the Owner's spouse, the Beneficiary may elect to continue the Contract. . This election is made by sending us a letter of instruction. If we do not receive the Beneficiary's election within 60 days after we receive Due Proof of Death, we will pay the death benefit in a single cash payment.

</R>

If we pay the death benefit in the form of an Annuity Option, the Beneficiary becomes the Annuitant/Payee under the terms of that Annuity Option.

Non-Qualified Contracts

If your Contract is a Non-Qualified Contract, special distribution rules apply to the payment of the death benefit. The amount of the death benefit must be distributed either (1) as a lump sum within 5 years after your death or (2) if in the form of an annuity, over a period not greater than the life or expected life of the "designated beneficiary" within the meaning of Section 72(s) of the Internal Revenue Code, with payments beginning no later than one year after your death.

The person you have named as Beneficiary under your Contract, if any, will be the "designated beneficiary." If the named Beneficiary is not living and no contingent beneficiary has been named, the surviving Participant, if any, or the estate of the deceased Participant automatically becomes the designated beneficiary.

If the designated beneficiary is your surviving spouse, your spouse may continue the Contract in his or her own name as Participant. To make this election, your spouse must give us written notification within 60 days after we receive Due Proof of Death. The special distribution rules will then apply on the death of your spouse. To understand what happens when your spouse continues the Contract, see "Spousal Continuance," above.

During the Income Phase, if the Annuitant dies, the remaining value of the Annuity Option(s) in place must be distributed at least as rapidly as the method of distribution under that option.

If the Participant is not a natural person, these distribution rules apply upon the death of any Annuitant.

Payments made in contravention of these special rules would adversely affect the treatment of the Contracts as annuity contracts under the Internal Revenue Code. Neither you nor the Beneficiary may exercise rights that would have that effect.

Selection and Change of Beneficiary

You select your Beneficiary in your Application. You may change your Beneficiary at any time by sending us written notice on our required form, unless you previously made an irrevocable Beneficiary designation. A new Beneficiary designation is not effective until we record the change.

Payment of Death Benefit

Payment of the death benefit in cash will be made within 7 days of the Death Benefit Date, except if we are permitted to defer payment in accordance with the Investment Company Act of 1940. If an Annuity Option is elected, the Annuity Commencement Date will be the first day of the second calendar month following the Death Benefit Date, and your Account will remain in effect until the Annuity Commencement Date.

Due Proof of Death

We accept any of the following as proof of any person's death:

o

An original certified copy of an official death certificate;

   

o

An original certified copy of a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to the finding of death; or

   

o

Any other proof we find satisfactory.

 

 

 

 

 

THE INCOME PHASE -- ANNUITY PROVISIONS

During the Income Phase, we make regular monthly annuity payments to the Annuitant.

The Income Phase of your Contract begins with the Annuity Commencement Date. On that date, we apply your Account Value, adjusted as described below, under the Annuity Option(s) you have selected, and we make the first payment.

Once the Income Phase begins, no lump sum settlement option or cash withdrawals are permitted, except pursuant to Annuity Option D, Monthly Payments for a Specified Period Certain, as described below under the heading "Annuity Options," and you cannot change the Annuity Option selected. You may request a full withdrawal before the Annuity Commencement Date, which will be subject to all charges applicable on withdrawals. See "Withdrawals, Withdrawal Charge and Market Value Adjustment."

Selection of the Annuitant or Co-Annuitant

You select the Annuitant in your Application. The Annuitant is the person who receives annuity payments during the Income Phase and on whose life these payments are based. In your Contract, the Annuity Option(s) refer to the Annuitant as the "Payee." If you name someone other than yourself as Annuitant and the Annuitant dies before the Income Phase, you become the Annuitant.

In a Non-Qualified Contract, if you name someone other than yourself as Annuitant, you may also select a Co-Annuitant, who will become the new Annuitant if the original Annuitant dies before the Income Phase. If both the Annuitant and Co-Annuitant die before the Income Phase, you become the Annuitant. If you have named both an Annuitant and a Co-Annuitant, you may designate one of them to become the sole Annuitant as of the Annuity Commencement Date, if both are living at that time. If you have not made that designation on the 30th day before the Annuity Commencement Date, and both the Annuitant and the Co-Annuitant are still living, the Co-Annuitant will become the Annuitant.

When an Annuity Option has been selected as the method of paying the death benefit, the Beneficiary is the Payee of the annuity payment.

Selection of the Annuity Commencement Date

You select the Annuity Commencement Date in your Application. The following restrictions apply to the date you may select:

o

The earliest possible Annuity Commencement Date is the first day of the first month following your first Account Anniversary.

   

o

The latest possible Annuity Commencement Date is the first day of the month following the Annuitant's 95th birthday or, if there is a Co-Annuitant, the 95th birthday of the younger of the Annuitant and Co-Annuitant.

   

o

The Annuity Commencement Date must always be the first day of a month.

You may change the Annuity Commencement Date from time to time by sending us written notice, with the following additional limitations:

o

We must receive your notice at least 30 days before the current Annuity Commencement Date.

   

o

The new Annuity Commencement Date must be at least 30 days after we receive the notice.

There may be other restrictions on your selection of the Annuity Commencement Date imposed by your retirement plan or applicable law. In most situations, current law requires that for a Qualified Contract, certain minimum distributions must commence no later than April 1 following the year the Annuitant reaches age 70 1/2 (or, for Qualified Contracts other than IRAs, no later than April 1 following the year the Annuitant retires, if later than the year the Annuitant reaches age 70 1/2).

Annuity Options

We offer the following Annuity Options for payments during the Income Phase. Each Annuity Option may be selected for a Variable Annuity, a Fixed Annuity, or a combination of both. We may also agree to other settlement options, in our discretion.

      Annuity Option A -- Life Annuity

We provide monthly payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant. Annuity payments stop when the Annuitant dies. There is no provision for continuation of any payments to a Beneficiary.

      Annuity Option B -- Life Annuity With 60, 120, 180 or 240 Monthly Payments Certain

We make monthly payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant. In addition, we guarantee that the Beneficiary will receive monthly payments for the remainder of the period certain, if the Annuitant dies during that period. The election of a longer period results in smaller monthly payments. If no Beneficiary is designated, we pay the discounted value of the remaining payments in one sum to the Annuitant's estate. The Beneficiary may also elect to receive the discounted value of the remaining payments in one sum. The discount rate for a Variable Annuity will be the assumed interest rate in effect; the discount rate for a Fixed Annuity will be based on the interest rate we used to determine the amount of each payment.

      Annuity Option C -- Joint and Survivor Annuity

We make monthly payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant and another person you designate and during the lifetime of the survivor of the two. We stop making payments when the survivor dies. There is no provision for continuance of any payments to a Beneficiary.

      Annuity Option D -- Monthly Payments for a Specified Period Certain

We make monthly payments for a specified period of time from 10 to 30 years, as you elect. If payments under this option are paid on a variable annuity basis, the Annuitant may elect to receive some or all of the discounted value of the remaining payments, less any applicable withdrawal charge; the discount rate for this purpose will be the assumed interest rate in effect. If the Annuitant dies during the period selected, the remaining income payments are made as described under Annuity Option B. The election of this Annuity Option may result in the imposition of a penalty tax.

Selection of Annuity Option

You select one or more of the Annuity Options, which you may change from time to time during the Accumulation Phase, as long as we receive your selection or change in writing at least 30 days before the Annuity Commencement Date. If we have not received your written selection on the 30th day before the Annuity Commencement Date, you will receive Annuity Option B, for a life annuity with 120 monthly payments certain.

You may specify the proportion of your Adjusted Account Value you wish to provide a Variable Annuity or a Fixed Annuity. Under a Variable Annuity, the dollar amount of payments will vary, while under a Fixed Annuity, the dollar amount of payments will remain the same. If you do not specify a Variable Annuity or a Fixed Annuity, your Adjusted Account Value will be divided between Variable Annuities and Fixed Annuities in the same proportions as your Account Value was divided between the Variable and Fixed Accounts on the Annuity Commencement Date. You may allocate your Adjusted Account Value applied to a Variable Annuity among the Sub-Accounts, or we will use your existing allocations.

There may be additional limitations on the options you may elect under your particular retirement plan or applicable law.

Remember that the Annuity Options may not be changed once annuity payments begin.

Amount of Annuity Payments

      Adjusted Account Value

The Adjusted Account Value is the amount we apply to provide a Variable Annuity and/or a Fixed Annuity. We calculate Adjusted Account Value by taking your Account Value on the Business Day just before the Annuity Commencement Date and making the following adjustments:

o

We deduct a proportional amount of the Account Fee, based on the fraction of the current Account Year that has elapsed.

   

o

If applicable, we apply the Market Value Adjustment to your Account Value in the Fixed Account, which may result in a deduction, an addition, or no change.

   

o

We deduct any applicable premium tax or similar tax if not previously deducted.

      Variable Annuity Payments

On the Annuity Commencement Date, we will exchange your Account's Variable Annuity Units for Annuitization Units which have annual insurance charges of 1.45% of your Account's average daily net assets. Variable Annuity payments may vary each month. We determine the dollar amount of the first payment using the portion of your Adjusted Account Value applied to a Variable Annuity and the Annuity Payment Rates in your Contract, which are based on an assumed interest rate of 3% per year, compounded annually. See "Annuity Payment Rates."

To calculate the remaining payments, we convert the amount of the first payment into Annuity Units for each Sub-Account; we determine the number of those Annuity Units by dividing the portion of the first payment attributable to the Sub-Account by the Annuity Unit Value of that Sub-Account for the Valuation Period ending just before the Annuity Commencement Date. This number of Annuity Units for each Sub-Account will remain constant (unless the Annuitant requests an exchange of Annuity Units). However, the dollar amount of the next Variable Annuity payment -- which is the sum of the number of Annuity Units for each Sub-Account times its Annuity Unit Value for the Valuation Period ending just before the date of the payment -- will increase, decrease, or remain the same, depending on the net investment return of the Sub-Accounts.

If the net investment return of the Sub-Accounts selected is the same as the assumed interest rate of 3%, compounded annually, the payments will remain level. If the net investment return exceeds the assumed interest rate, payments will increase and, conversely, if it is less than the assumed interest rate, payments will decrease.

Please refer to the Statement of Additional Information for more information about calculating Variable Annuity Units and Variable Annuity payments, including examples of these calculations.

 

      Fixed Annuity Payments

Fixed Annuity payments are the same each month. We determine the dollar amount of each Fixed Annuity payment using the fixed portion of your Adjusted Account Value and the applicable Annuity Payment Rates. These will be either (1) the rates in your Contract, which are based on a minimum guaranteed interest rate of 3% per year, compounded annually, or (2) new rates we have published and are using on the Annuity Commencement Date, if they are more favorable. See "Annuity Payment Rates."

      Minimum Payments

If your Adjusted Account Value is less than $2,000, or the first annuity payment for any Annuity Option is less than $20, we will pay the Adjusted Account Value to the Annuitant in one payment.

Exchange of Variable Annuity Units

During the Income Phase, the Annuitant may exchange Annuity Units in one Sub-Account for Annuity Units in another Sub-Account, up to 12 times each Account Year. To make an exchange, the Annuitant sends us, at our Annuity Mailing Address, a written request stating the number of Annuity Units in the Sub-Account he or she wishes to exchange and the new Sub-Account for which Annuity Units are requested. The number of new Annuity Units will be calculated so the dollar amount of an annuity payment on the date of the exchange would not be affected. To calculate this number, we use Annuity Unit values for the Valuation Period during which we receive the exchange request.

Before exchanging Annuity Units in one Sub-Account for those in another, the Annuitant should carefully review the Fund prospectus(es) for the investment objectives and risk disclosure of the Funds in which the Sub-Accounts invest.

During the Income Phase, we permit only exchanges among Sub-Accounts. No exchanges to or from a Fixed Annuity are permitted.

Account Fee

During the Income Phase, we deduct the annual Account Fee of $35 in equal amounts from each Variable Annuity payment. We do not deduct the annual Account Fee from Fixed Annuity payments.

Annuity Payment Rates

The Contracts contain Annuity Payment Rates for each Annuity Option described in this Prospectus. The rates show, for each $1,000 applied, the dollar amount of: (a) the first monthly Variable Annuity payment based on the assumed interest rate specified in the applicable Contract (at least 3% per year, compounded annually); and (b) the monthly Fixed Annuity payment, when this payment is based on the minimum guaranteed interest rate specified in the Contract (at least 3% per year, compounded annually). We may change these rates under Group Contracts for Accounts established after the effective date of such change (see "Other Contract Provisions -- Modification").

The Annuity Payment Rates may vary according to the Annuity Options elected and the adjusted age of the Annuitant. The Contracts also describe the method of determining the adjusted age of the Annuitant. The mortality table used in determining the Annuity Payment Rates for Options A, B and C is the 1983 Individual Annuitant Mortality Table.

Annuity Options as Method of Payment for Death Benefit

You or your Beneficiary may also select one or more Annuity Options to be used in the event of the Annuitant's death before the Income Phase, as described under the "Death Benefit" section of this Prospectus. In that case, your Beneficiary will be the Annuitant. The Annuity Commencement Date will be the first day of the second month beginning after the Death Benefit Date.

OTHER CONTRACT PROVISIONS

Exercise of Contract Rights

An Individual Contract belongs to the individual to whom the Contract is issued. A Group Contract belongs to the Owner. In the case of a Group Contract, the Owner may expressly reserve all Contract rights and privileges; otherwise, each Annuitant will be entitled to exercise such rights and privileges. In any case, such rights and privileges can be exercised without the consent of the Beneficiary (other than an irrevocably designated Beneficiary) or any other person. Such rights and privileges may be exercised only during the lifetime of the Annuitant before the Annuity Commencement Date, except as the Contract otherwise provides.

The Annuitant becomes the Payee on and after the Annuity Commencement Date. The Beneficiary becomes the Payee on the death of the Covered Person prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, or on the death of the Annuitant after the Annuity Commencement Date. Such Payee may thereafter exercise such rights and privileges, if any, of ownership which continue.

Change of Ownership

Ownership of a Qualified Contract may not be transferred except to: (1) the Annuitant; (2) a trustee or successor trustee of a pension or profit sharing trust which is qualified under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code; (3) the employer of the Annuitant, provided that the Qualified Contract after transfer is maintained under the terms of a retirement plan qualified under Section 403(a) of the Internal Revenue Code for the benefit of the Annuitant; (4) the trustee or custodian of an individual retirement account plan qualified under Section 408 of the Internal Revenue Code for the benefit of the Participants under a Group Contract; or (5) as otherwise permitted from time to time by laws and regulations governing the retirement or deferred compensation plans for which a Qualified Contract may be issued. Subject to the foregoing, a Qualified Contract may not be sold, assigned, transferred, discounted or pledged as collateral for a loan or as security for the performance of an obligation or for any other purpose to any person other than the Company.

The Owner of a Non-Qualified Contract may change the ownership of the Contract prior to the Annuity Commencement Date; and each Participant, in like manner, may change the ownership interest in a Contract. A change of ownership will not be binding on us until we receive written notification. When we receive such notification, the change will be effective as of the date on which the request for change was signed by the Owner or Participant, as appropriate, but the change will be without prejudice to us on account of any payment we make or any action we take before receiving the change. If you change the Owner of a Non-Qualified Contract, you will become immediately liable for the payment of taxes on any gain realized under the Contract prior to the change of ownership, including possible liability for a 10% federal excise tax.

Voting of Fund Shares

We will vote Fund shares held by the Sub-Accounts at meetings of shareholders of the Fund or in connection with similar solicitations, but will follow voting instructions received from persons having the right to give voting instructions. During the Accumulation Phase, you will have the right to give voting instructions, except in the case of a Group Contract where the Owner has reserved this right. During the Income Phase, the Payee -- that is the Annuitant or Beneficiary entitled to receive benefits -- is the person having such voting rights. We will vote any shares attributable to us and Fund shares for which no timely voting instructions are received in the same proportion as the shares for which we receive instructions from Owners, Participants and Payees, as applicable.

Owners of Qualified Contracts issued on a group basis may be subject to other voting provisions of the particular plan and of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Employees who contribute to plans that are funded by the Contracts may be entitled to instruct the Owners as to how to instruct us to vote the Fund shares attributable to their contributions. Such plans may also provide the additional extent, if any, to which the Owners shall follow voting instructions of persons with rights under the plans. If no voting instructions are received from any such person with respect to a particular Participant Account, the Owner may instruct the Company as to how to vote the number of Fund shares for which instructions may be given.

Neither the Variable Account nor the Company is under any duty to provide information concerning the voting instruction rights of persons who may have such rights under plans, other than rights afforded by the Investment Company Act of 1940, or any duty to inquire as to the instructions received or the authority of Owners, Participants or others, as applicable, to instruct the voting of Fund shares. Except as the Variable Account or the Company has actual knowledge to the contrary, the instructions given by Owners under Group Contracts and Payees will be valid as they affect the Variable Account, the Company and any others having voting instruction rights with respect to the Variable Account.

All Fund proxy material, together with an appropriate form to be used to give voting instructions, will be provided to each person having the right to give voting instructions at least 10 days prior to each meeting of the shareholders of the Fund. We will determine the number of Fund shares as to which each such person is entitled to give instructions as of the record date set by the Fund for such meeting, which is expected to be not more than 90 days prior to each such meeting. Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, the number of Fund shares as to which voting instructions may be given to the Company is determined by dividing the value of all of the Variable Accumulation Units of the particular Sub-Account credited to the Participant Account by the net asset value of one Fund share as of the same date. On or after the Annuity Commencement Date, the number of Fund shares as to which such instructions may be given by a Payee is determined by dividing the reserve held by the Company in the Sub-Account with respect to the particular Payee by the net asset value of a Fund share as of the same date. After the Annuity Commencement Date, the number of Fund shares as to which a Payee is entitled to give voting instructions will generally decrease due to the decrease in the reserve.

Periodic Reports

During the Accumulation Period we will send you, or such other person having voting rights, at least once during each Account Year, a statement showing the number, type and value of Accumulation Units credited to your Account and the Fixed Accumulation Value of your Account, which statement shall be accurate as of a date not more than 2 months previous to the date of mailing. These periodic statements contain important information concerning your transactions with respect to a Contract. It is your obligation to review each such statement carefully and to report to us, at the address or telephone number provided on the statement, any errors or discrepancies in the information presented therein within 60 days of the date of such statement. Unless we receive notice of any such error or discrepancy from you within such period, we may not be responsible for correcting the error or discrepancy.

In addition, every person having voting rights will receive such reports or prospectuses concerning the Variable Account and the Series Fund as may be required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Securities Act of 1933.We will also send such statements reflecting transactions in your Account as maybe required by applicable laws, rules and regulations.

Upon request, we will provide you with information regarding fixed and variable accumulation values.

Substitution of Securities

Shares of any or all Funds may not always be available for investment under the Contracts. We may add or delete Funds or other investment companies as variable investment options under the Contracts. We may also substitute shares of another Fund or shares of another registered open-end investment company or unit investment trust for the shares held in any Sub-Account, provided that the substitution has been approved, if required, by the SEC. In the event of any substitution pursuant to this provision, we may make appropriate endorsement to the Contract to reflect the substitution.

Change in Operation of Variable Account

At our election and subject to any necessary vote by persons having the right to give instructions with respect to the voting of Series Fund shares held by the Sub-Accounts, the Variable Account may be operated as a management company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or it may be deregistered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 in the event registration is no longer required. Deregistration of the Variable Account requires an order by the SEC. In the event of any change in the operation of the Variable Account pursuant to this provision, we may make appropriate endorsement to the Contract to reflect the change and take such other action as may be necessary and appropriate to effect the change.

Splitting Units

We reserve the right to split or combine the value of Variable Accumulation Units, Annuity Units or any of them. In effecting any such change of unit values, strict equity will be preserved and no change will have a material effect on the benefits or other provisions of the Contract.

Modification

Upon notice to the Participant, in the case of an Individual Contract, and the Owner and Participant(s), in the case of a Group Contract (or the Payee(s) during the Income Phase), we may modify the Contract if such modification: (i) is necessary to make the Contract or the Variable Account comply with any law or regulation issued by a governmental agency to which the Company or the Variable Account is subject; (ii) is necessary to assure continued qualification of the Contract under the Internal Revenue Code or other federal or state laws relating to retirement annuities or annuity contracts; (iii) is necessary to reflect a change in the operation of the Variable Account or the Sub-Account(s) (see "Change in Operation of Variable Account"); (iv) provides additional Variable Account and/or fixed accumulation options; or (v) as may otherwise be in the best interests of Owners, Participants, or Payees, as applicable. In the

event of any such modification, we may make appropriate endorsement in the Contract to reflect such modification.

In addition, upon notice to the Owner, we may modify a Group Contract to change the withdrawal charges, Account Fee, mortality and expense risk charges, administrative expense charges, the tables used in determining the amount of the first monthly variable annuity and fixed annuity payments and the formula used to calculate the Market Value Adjustment, provided that such modification applies only to Participant Accounts established after the effective date of such modification. In order to exercise our modification rights in these particular instances, we must notify the Owner of such modification in writing. The notice shall specify the effective date of such modification which must beat least 60 days following the date we mail notice of modification. All of the charges and the annuity tables which are provided in the Group Contract prior to any such modification will remain in effect permanently, unless improved by the Company, with respect to Participant Accounts established prior to the effective date of such modification.

Discontinuance of New Participants

We may limit or discontinue the acceptance of new Applications and the issuance of new Certificates under a Group Contract by giving 30 days prior written notice to the Owner. This will not affect rights or benefits with respect to any Participant Accounts established under such Group Contract prior to the effective date of such limitation or discontinuance.

 

Reservation of Rights

We reserve the right, to the extent permitted by law, to: (1) combine any2 or more variable accounts; (2) add or delete Funds, sub-series thereof or other investment companies and corresponding Sub-Accounts; (3) add or remove Guarantee Periods available at any time for election by a Participant; and (4) restrict or eliminate any of the voting rights of Participants (or Owners) or other persons who have voting rights as to the Variable Account. Where required by law, we will obtain approval of changes from Participants or any appropriate regulatory authority. In the event of any change pursuant to this provision, we may make appropriate endorsement to the Contract to reflect the change.

Right to Return

If you are not satisfied with your Contract, you may return it by mailing or delivering it to us at our Annuity Mailing Address, as shown on the cover of this Prospectus, within 10 days after it was delivered to you. When we receive the returned Contract, it will be cancelled and we will refund to you your Account Value less the Adjusted Purchase Payment Interest. The Adjusted Purchase Payment Interest that may be deducted is equal to the lesser of:

o

the portion of the Account Value that is attributable to any Purchase Payment Interest, and

   

o

all Purchase Payment Interest.

This means you receive any gain on Purchase Payment Interest and we bear any loss. However, if applicable state law requires, we will return the full amount of any Purchase Payment(s) we received. State law may also require us to give you a longer "free look" period or allow you to return the Contract to your sales representative.

If you are establishing an Individual Retirement Annuity ("IRA"), the Internal Revenue Code requires that we give you a disclosure statement containing certain information about the Contract and applicable legal requirements. We must give you this statement on or before the date the IRA is established. If we give you the disclosure statement before the seventh day preceding the date the IRA is established, you will not have any right of revocation under the Code. If we give you the disclosure statement at a later date, then you may give us a notice of revocation at any time within 7 days after your Contract Date. Upon such revocation, we will refund your Purchase Payment(s). This right of revocation with respect to an IRA is in addition to the return privilege set forth in the preceding paragraph. We allow a Participant establishing an IRA a "ten day free-look," notwithstanding the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

TAX CONSIDERATIONS

This section provides general information on the federal income tax consequences of ownership of a Contract based upon our understanding of current federal tax laws. Actual federal tax consequences will vary depending on, among other things, the type of retirement plan under which your Contract is issued. Also, legislation altering the current tax treatment of annuity contracts could be enacted in the future and could apply retroactively to Contracts that were purchased before the date of enactment. We make no attempt to consider any applicable federal estate, federal gift, state, or other tax laws. We also make no guarantee regarding the federal, state, or local tax status of any Contract or any transaction involving any Contract. You should consult a qualified tax professional for advice before purchasing a Contract or executing any other transaction (such as a rollover, distribution, withdrawal or payment) involving a Contract.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following discussion applies only to those Contracts issued in the United States. For a discussion of tax considerations effecting Contracts issued in Puerto Rico, see "Puerto Rico Tax Considerations," below.

     Deductibility of Purchase Payments

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

     Pre-Distribution Taxation of Contracts

Generally, an increase in the value of a Contract will not give rise to a current income tax liability to the Owner of a Contract or to any payee under the Contract until a distribution is received from the Contract. However, certain assignments or pledges of a Contract or loans under a Contract will be treated as distributions to the Owner of the Contract and will accelerate the taxability of any increases in the value of a Contract.

Also, corporate (or other non-natural person) Owners of a Non-Qualified Contract will generally incur a current tax liability on Account Value increases. There are certain exceptions to this current taxation rule, including: (i) any Contract that is an "immediate annuity", which the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") defines as a single premium contract with an annuity commencement date within one year of the date of purchase which provides for a series of substantially equal periodic payments (to be made not less frequently than annually) during the annuity period, and (ii) any Contract that the non-natural person holds as agent for a natural person (such as where a bank or other entity holds a Contract as trustee under a trust agreement).

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

     Distributions and Withdrawals from Non-Qualified Contracts

The Account Value of a Non-Qualified Contract will generally include both (i) an amount attributable to Purchase Payments, the return of which will not be taxable, and (ii) an amount attributable to investment earnings, the receipt of which will be taxable at ordinary income rates. The relative portions of any particular distribution that derive from nontaxable Purchase Payments and taxable investment earnings depend upon the nature and the timing of that distribution.

Any withdrawal of less than your entire Account Value under a Non-Qualified Contract before the Annuity Commencement Date, must be treated as a receipt of investment earnings. You may not treat such withdrawals as a non-taxable return of Purchase Payments unless you have first withdrawn the entire amount of the Account Value that is attributable to investment earnings. For purposes of determining whether an Owner has withdrawn the entire amount of the investment earnings under a Non-Qualified Contract, the Code provides that all Non-Qualified deferred annuity contracts issued by the same company to the same Owner during any one calendar year must be treated as one annuity contract.

A Payee who receives annuity payments under a Non-Qualified Contract after the Annuity Commencement Date, will generally be able to treat a portion of each payment as a nontaxable return of Purchase Payments. and to treat only the remainder of each such payment as taxable investment earnings. Until the Purchase Payments have been fully recovered in this manner, the nontaxable portion of each payment will be determined by the ratio of (i) the total amount of the Purchase Payments made under the Contract, to (ii) the Payee's expected return under the Contract. Once the Payee has received nontaxable payments in an amount equal to total Purchase Payments, no further exclusion is allowed and all future distributions will constitute fully taxable ordinary income. If payments are terminated upon the death of the Annuitant or other Payee before the Purchase Payments have been fully recovered, the unrecovered Purchase Payments. may be deducted on the final return of the Annuitant or other Payee.

A penalty tax of 10% may also apply to taxable cash withdrawals, including lump-sum payments from Non-Qualified Contracts. This penalty will generally not apply to distributions made after age 59 1/2, to distributions pursuant to the death or disability of the owner, or to distributions that are a part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments made annually under a lifetime annuity, or to distributions under an immediate annuity (as defined above).

Death benefits paid upon the death of a Contract Owner are not life insurance benefits and will generally be includible in the income of the recipient to the extent they represent investment earnings under the contract. For this purpose, the amount of the "investment in the contract" is not affected by the Owner's or Annuitant's death, i.e., the investment in the Contract must still be determined by reference to the total Purchase Payments (excluding amounts that were deductible by, or excluded from the gross income of, the Owner of a Contract), less any Purchase Payments that were amounts previously received which were not includible in income. Special mandatory distribution rules also apply after the death of the Owner when the beneficiary is not the surviving spouse of the Owner.

If death benefits are distributed in a lump sum, the taxable amount of those benefits will be determined in the same manner as upon a full surrender of the contract. If death benefits are distributed under an annuity option, the taxable amount of those benefits will be determined in the same manner as annuity payments, as described above.

     Distributions and Withdrawals from Qualified Contracts

In most cases, all of the distributions you receive from a Qualified Contract will constitute fully taxable ordinary income. Also, a 10% penalty tax will apply to distributions prior to age 59 1/2, except in certain circumstances,.

If you receive an eligible rollover distribution from a Qualified Contract (other than from a Contract issued for use with an individual retirement account) and roll over some or all of that distribution to another eligible plan, the portion of such distribution that is rolled over will not be includible in your income. However, any eligible rollover distribution will be subject to 20% mandatory withholding as described below. Because the amount of the cash paid to you as an eligible rollover distribution will be reduced by this withholding, you will not be able to roll over the entire account balance under your Contract, unless you use other funds equal to the tax withholding to complete the rollover.

An "eligible rollover distribution" is any distribution to you of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of your account, other than:

o

A distribution which is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments made annually under a lifetime annuity or for a specified period of ten years or more;

   

o

Any required minimum distribution, or

   

o

Any hardship distribution.

Only you or your spouse may elect to roll over a distribution to an eligible retirement plan.

     Withholding

In the case of an eligible rollover distribution (as defined above) from a Qualified Contract (other than from a Contract issued for use with an individual retirement account), we (or the plan administrator) must withhold and remit to the U.S. Government 20% of the distribution, unless the Participant or Payee elects to make a direct rollover of the distribution to another qualified retirement plan that is eligible to receive the rollover; however, only you or your spouse may elect a direct rollover. In the case of a distribution from (i) a Non-Qualified Contract, (ii) a Qualified Contract issued for use with an individual retirement account, or (iii) a Qualified Contract where the distribution is not an eligible rollover distribution, 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 Participant or Payee provides us his or her taxpayer identification number and instructs us (in the manner prescribed) not to withhold. The Participant or Payee may credit against his or her federal income tax liability for the year of distribution any amounts that we (or the plan administrator) withhold.

     Investment Diversification and Control

The Treasury Department has issued regulations that prescribe investment diversification requirements for mutual fund series underlying nonqualified variable contracts. All Non-Qualified Contracts must comply with these regulations to qualify as annuities for federal income tax purposes. The owner of a Non-Qualified Contract that does not meet these guidelines will be subject to current taxation on annual increases in value of the Contract. We believe that each Fund available as an investment option under the Contract complies with these regulations.

The preamble to the 1986 investment diversification regulations stated that the Internal Revenue Service may promulgate guidelines under which an owner's excessive control over investments underlying the contract will preclude the contract from qualifying as an annuity for federal tax purposes. We cannot predict whether such guidelines, if and when they may be promulgated, will be retroactive. We reserve the right to modify the Contract and/or the Variable Account to the extent necessary to comply with any such guidelines, but cannot assure that such modifications would satisfy any retroactive guidelines.

     Tax Treatment of the Company and the Variable Account

As a life insurance company under the Code, we will record and report operations of the Variable Account separately from other operations. The Variable Account will not, however, constitute a regulated investment company or any other type of taxable entity distinct from our other operations. Under present law, we will not incur tax on the income of the Variable Account (consisting primarily of interest, dividends, and net capital gains) if we use this income to increase reserves under Contracts participating in the Variable Account.

     Qualified Retirement Plans

You may use Qualified Contracts with several types of qualified retirement plans. Because tax consequences will vary with the type of qualified retirement plan and the plan's specific terms and conditions, we provide below only brief, general descriptions of the consequences that follow from using Qualified Contracts in connection with various types of qualified retirement plans. We stress that the rights of any person to any benefits under these plans may be subject to the terms and conditions of the plans themselves, regardless of the terms of the Qualified Contracts that you are using. These terms and conditions may include restrictions on, among other things, ownership, transferability, assignability, contributions and distributions.

     Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans

Sections 401(a), 401(k) and 403(a) of the Code permit business employers and certain associations to establish various types of retirement plans for employees. The Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 eliminated most differences between qualified retirement plans of corporations and those of self-employed individuals. Self-employed persons, as a general rule, may therefore use Qualified Contracts as a funding vehicle for their retirement plans.

     Tax-Sheltered Annuities

Section 403(b) of the Code permits public school employees and employees of certain types of charitable, educational and scientific organizations specified in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code to purchase annuity contracts and, subject to certain limitations, exclude the amount of purchase payments from gross income for tax purposes. The Code imposes restrictions on cash withdrawals from Section 403(b) annuities.

If the Contracts are to receive tax-deferred treatment, cash withdrawals of amounts attributable to salary reduction contributions (other than withdrawals of accumulation account value as of December 31, 1988) may be made only when the Participant attains age 59 1/2, separates from service with the employer, dies or becomes disabled (within the meaning of Section 72(m)(7) of the Code). These restrictions apply to (i) any post-1988 salary reduction contributions, (ii) any growth or interest on post-1988 salary reduction contributions, and (iii) any growth or interest on pre-1989 salary reduction contributions that occurs on or after January 1, 1989, and (iv) any pre-1989 salary reduction contributions since we do not maintain records that separately account for such contributions. It is permissible, however, to withdraw post-1988 salary reduction contributions (but not the earnings attributable to such contributions) in cases of financial hardship. While the Internal Revenue Service has not issued specific rules defining financial hardship, we expect that to qualify for a hardship distribution, the Participant must have an immediate and heavy bona fide financial need and lack other resources reasonably available to satisfy the need. Hardship withdrawals (as well as certain other premature withdrawals) will be subject to a 10% tax penalty, in addition to any withdrawal charge applicable under the Contracts. Under certain circumstances the 10% tax penalty will not apply if the withdrawal is for medical expenses.

Section 403(b) annuities, like IRAs, are subject to required minimum distributions under the Code. Section 403(b) annuities are unique, however, in that any account balance accruing before January 1, 1987 (the "pre-1987 balance") needs to comply with only the minimum distribution incidental benefit (MDIB) rule and not also with the minimum distribution rules set forth in Section 401(a)(9) of the Code. This special treatment for any pre-1987 balance is, however, conditioned upon the issuer identifying the pre-1987 balance and maintaining accurate records of changes to the balance. Since we do not maintain such records, your pre-1987 balance, if any, will not be eligible for special distribution treatment.

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

     Individual Retirement Accounts

Sections 219 and 408 of the Code permit eligible individuals to contribute to an individual retirement program, including Simplified Employee Pension Plans, Employer/Association of Employees Established Individual Retirement Account Trusts, and Simple Retirement Accounts. Such IRAs are subject to limitations on contribution levels, the persons who may be eligible, and on the time when distributions may commence. In addition, certain distributions from some other types of retirement plans may be placed in an IRA on a tax-deferred basis. If we sell Contracts for use with IRAs, the Internal Revenue Service or other agency may impose supplementary information requirements. We will provide purchasers of the Contracts for such purposes with any necessary information. You will have the right to revoke the Contract under certain circumstances, as described in the section of this Prospectus entitled "Right to Return."

     Roth IRAs

Section 408A of the Code permits an individual to contribute to an individual retirement program called a Roth IRA. Unlike contributions to a traditional IRA under Section 408 of the Code, contributions to a Roth IRA are not tax-deductible. Provided certain conditions are satisfied, distributions are generally tax-free. Like traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs are subject to limitations on contribution amounts and the timing of distributions. If an individual converts a traditional IRA into a Roth IRA the full amount of the IRA is included in taxable income. The Internal Revenue Service and other agencies may impose special information requirements with respect to Roth IRAs. We will provide the necessary information for Contracts issued in connection with Roth IRAs.

     Status of Optional Death Benefit Riders

Under the Code, IRAs may not invest in life insurance policies. Regulations issued by the Treasury Department provide that death benefits under IRAs do not violate this rule, provided that the death benefit is no more than the greater of the total premiums paid (net of prior withdrawals) or the cash value of the IRA.

In certain circumstances, the death benefit payable under the Contract's Optional Death Benefit Riders may exceed both the total premiums paid (net of prior withdrawals) and the cash value of the Contract. We have filed the Contract and the EEB Plus, EEB Plus MAV, and EEB Plus 5% Roll-Up Optional Death Benefit Riders ("New Riders") with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") requesting a ruling approving the use of the Contract with the New Riders as an IRA. We have already received a favorable determination letter with respect to the following Optional Death Benefit Riders: EEB; MAV; 5% Roll-Up; EEB and MAV; EEB and 5% Roll-Up; MAV and 5% Roll-Up; and EEB and MAV and 5% Roll-Up ("Old Riders").

Although we regard the New Riders as an investment protection feature that should not result in adverse tax treatment, we give no assurance that the IRS will approve the use of the Contract with the New Riders in IRAs. Denial of our request by the IRS could result in taxation of the entire balance of your IRA and penalty taxes. You should consult a qualified tax adviser before adding any of the New Riders to your Contract if it is an IRA.

Puerto Rico Tax Considerations

The Contract offered by this Prospectus is considered an annuity contract under Section 1022 of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 1994, as amended (the "1994 Code"). Under the current provisions of the 1994 Code, no income tax is payable on increases in value of accumulation shares of annuity units credited to a variable annuity contract until payments are made to the annuitant or other payee under such contract.

When payments are made from your Contract in the form of an annuity, the annuitant or other payee will be required to include as gross income the lesser of the amount received during the taxable year or the portion of the amount received equal to 3% of the aggregate premiums or other consideration paid for the annuity. The amount, if any, in excess of the included amount is excluded from gross income as a return of premium. After an amount equal to the aggregate premiums or other consideration paid for the annuity has been excluded from gross income, all of the subsequent annuity payments are considered to be taxable income.

When a payment under a Contract is made in a lump sum, the amount of the payment would be included in the gross income of the Annuitant or other Payee to the extent it exceeds the Annuitant's aggregate premiums or other consideration paid.

The provisions of the 1994 Code with respect to qualified retirement plans described in this Prospectus vary significantly from those under the Internal Revenue Code. Although we currently offer the Contract in Puerto Rico in connection with qualified retirement plans, the text of this Prospectus under the heading "Federal Tax Status" dealing with such qualified retirement plans is inapplicable to Puerto Rico and should be disregarded.

For information regarding the income tax consequences of owning a Contract, you should consult a qualified tax adviser.

ADMINISTRATION OF THE CONTRACTS

We perform certain administrative functions relating to the Contracts, Participant Accounts, and the Variable Account. These functions include, but are not limited to, maintaining the books and records of the Variable Account and the Sub-Accounts; maintaining records of the name, address, taxpayer identification number, Contract number, Participant Account number and type, the status of each Participant Account and other pertinent information necessary to the administration and operation of the Contracts; processing Applications, Purchase Payments, transfers and full and partial withdrawals; issuing Contracts and Certificates; administering annuity payments; furnishing accounting and valuation services; reconciling and depositing cash receipts; providing confirmations; providing toll-free customer service lines; and furnishing telephonic transfer services.

DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACTS

We offer the Contracts on a continuous basis. The Contracts are sold by licensed insurance agents in those states where the Contracts may be lawfully sold. Such agents will be registered representatives of broker-dealers registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 who are members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and who have entered into distribution agreements with the Company and the general distributor, Clarendon Insurance Agency, Inc. ("Clarendon"), One Sun Life Executive Park, Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts 02481. Clarendon, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a broker-dealer and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

Commissions and other distribution compensation will be paid by the Company to the selling agents and will not be more than 6.50% of Purchase Payments. In addition, after the first Account Year, broker-dealers who have entered into distribution agreements with the Company may receive an annual renewal commission of no more than 0.50% of the Participant's Account Value. In addition to commissions, the Company may, from time to time, pay or allow additional promotional incentives, in the form of cash or other compensation. We reserve the right to offer these additional incentives only to certain broker-dealers that sell or are expected to sell during specified time periods certain minimum amounts of the Contracts or Certificates or other contracts offered by the Company. Promotional incentives may change at any time. Commissions may be waived or reduced in connection with certain transactions described in this Prospectus under the heading "Waivers; Reduced Charges; Credits; Bonus Guaranteed Interest Rates." During 2000 and 2001, approximately $3,548,714 and $3,199,985.67 in commissions were paid to and retained by Clarendon in connection with the distribution of the Contracts.

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

From time to time the Variable Account may publish reports to shareholders, sales literature and advertisements containing performance information relating to the Sub-Accounts. This information may include standardized and non-standardized "Average Annual Total Return," "Cumulative Growth Rate" and "Compound Growth Rate." We may also advertise "yield" and "effective yield" for some Sub-Accounts.

Average Annual Total Return measures the net income of the Sub-Account and any realized or unrealized gains or losses of the Funds in which it invests, over the period stated. Average Annual Total Return figures are annualized and represent the average annual percentage change in the value of an investment in a Sub-Account over that period. Standardized Average Annual Total Return information covers the period since we started offering the Sub-Accounts under the Futurity products or, if shorter, the life of the Sub-Account. Non-standardized Average Annual Total Return covers the life of each Fund, which may predate the Futurity products. Cumulative Growth Rate represents the cumulative change in the value of an investment in the Sub-Account for the period stated, and is arrived at by calculating the change in the Accumulation Unit Value of a Sub-Account between the first and the last day of the period being measured. The difference is expressed as a percentage of the Accumulation Unit Value at the beginning of the base period. "Compound Growth Rate" is anannualized measure, calculated by applying a formula that determines the level of return which, if earned over the entire period, would produce the cumulative return.

Average Annual Total Return figures assume an initial Purchase Payment of$1,000 and reflect all applicable withdrawal and Contract charges. The Cumulative Growth Rate and Compound Growth Rate figures that we advertise do not reflect withdrawal charges, the annual Account Fee, or any Purchase Payment Interest, although such figures do reflect all recurring charges. If such figures were calculated to reflect Purchase Payment Interest credited, the calculation would also reflect any withdrawal charges made. Results calculated without withdrawal and/or certain Contract charges will be higher. We may also use other types of rates of return that do not reflect withdrawal and Contract charges.

The performance figures used by the Variable Account are based on the actual historical performance of the Funds for the specified periods, and the figures are not intended to indicate future performance. For periods before the date the Contracts became available, we calculate the performance information for the Sub-Accounts on a hypothetical basis. To do this, we reflect deductions of the current Contract fees and charges from the historical performance of the corresponding Fund.

Yield is a measure of the net dividend and interest income earned over a specific one-month or 30-day period (7-day period for the Sun Capital Money Market Sub-Account), expressed as a percentage of the value of the Sub-Account's Accumulation Units. Yield is an annualized figure, which means that we assume that the Sub-Account generates the same level of net income over a one-year period and compound that income on a semi-annual basis. We calculate the effective yield for the Money Market Sub-Account similarly, but include the increase due to assumed compounding. The Money Market Sub-Account's effective yield will be slightly higher than its yield as a result of its compounding effect.

The Variable Account may also from time to time compare its investment performance to various unmanaged indices or other variable annuities and may refer to certain rating and other organizations in its marketing materials. More information on performance and our computations is set forth in the Statement of Additional Information.

The Company may also advertise the ratings and other information assigned to it by independent industry ratings organizations. Some of these organizations are A.M. Best, Moody's Investor's Service, Standard and Poor's Insurance Rating Services, and Fitch. Each year A.M. Best reviews the financial status of thousands of insurers, culminating in the assignment of Best's rating. These ratings reflect A.M. Best's current opinion of the relevant financial strength and operating performance of an insurance company in comparison to the norms of the life/health industry. Best's ratings range from A++ to F. Standard and Poor's and Fitch's ratings measure the ability of an insurance company to meet its obligations under insurance policies it issues. These two ratings do not measure the insurance company's ability to meet non-policy obligations. Ratings in general do not relate to the performance of the Sub-Accounts.

We may also advertise endorsements from organizations, individuals or other parties that recommend the Company or the Contracts. We may occasionally include in advertisements (1) comparisons of currently taxable and tax deferred investment programs, based on selected tax brackets; or (2) discussions of alternative investment vehicles and general economic conditions.

INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE

The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") is incorporated herein by reference. All documents or reports we file pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, after the date of this prospectus and prior to the termination of the offering, shall be deemed incorporated by reference into the prospectus.

The Company will furnish, without charge, to each person to whom a copy of this Prospectus is delivered, upon the written or oral request of such person, a copy of the documents referred to above which have been incorporated by reference into this Prospectus, other than exhibits to such documents (unless such exhibits are specifically incorporated by reference in this Prospectus).Requests for such documents should be directed to the Secretary, Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.), One Sun Life Executive Park, Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts 02481, telephone (800) 225-3950.

STATE REGULATION

The Company is subject to the laws of the State of Delaware governing life insurance companies and to regulation by the Commissioner of Insurance of Delaware. An annual statement is filed with the Commissioner of Insurance on or before March lst in each year relating to the operations of the Company for the preceding year and its financial condition on December 31st of such year. Its books and records are subject to review or examination by the Commissioner or his agents at any time and a full examination of its operations is conducted at periodic intervals.

The Company is also subject to the insurance laws and regulations of the other states and jurisdictions in which it is licensed to operate. The laws of the various jurisdictions establish supervisory agencies with broad administrative powers with respect to licensing to transact business, overseeing trade practices, licensing agents, approving policy forms, establishing reserve requirements, fixing maximum interest rates on life insurance policy loans and minimum rates for accumulation of surrender values, prescribing the form and content of required financial statements and regulating the type and amounts of investments permitted. Each insurance company is required to file detailed annual reports with supervisory agencies in each of the fire jurisdictions in which it does business and its operations and accounts are subject to examination by such agencies at regular intervals.

In addition, many states regulate affiliated groups of insurers, such as the Company, Sun Life (Canada) and its affiliates, under insurance holding company legislation. Under such laws, inter-company transfers of assets and dividend payments from insurance subsidiaries may be subject to prior notice or approval, depending on the size of such transfers and payments in relation to the financial positions of the companies involved. Under insurance guaranty fund laws in most states, insurers doing business therein can be assessed (up to prescribed limits) for policyholder losses incurred by insolvent companies. The amount of any future assessments of the Company under these laws cannot be reasonably estimated. However, most of these laws do provide that an assessment may be excused or deferred if it would threaten an insurer's own financial strength and many permit the deduction of all or a portion of any such assessment from any future premium or similar taxes payable.

Although the federal government generally does not directly regulate the business of insurance, federal initiatives often have an impact on the business in a variety of ways. Current and proposed federal measures which may significantly affect the insurance business include employee benefit regulation, removal of barriers preventing banks from engaging in the insurance business, tax law changes affecting the taxation of insurance companies, the tax treatment of insurance products and its impact on the relative desirability of various personal investment vehicles.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There are no pending legal proceedings affecting the Variable Account. We and our subsidiaries are engaged in various kinds of routine litigation which, in management's judgment, is not of material importance to our respective total assets or material with respect to the Variable Account.

(a)

The free withdrawal amount in any year is equal to the amount of any Purchase Payments made prior to the last 7 Account Years ("Old Payments") that were not previously withdrawn plus the greater of (1) the Contract's earnings during the prior Account Year, and (2) 10% of any Purchase Payments made in the last 7 Account Years ("New Payments"). In Account Year 1, the free withdrawal amount is $4,000, which equals 10% of the Purchase Payment of $40,000. On a full withdrawal of $41,000, the amount subject to a withdrawal charge is $36,000, which equals the New Payments of $40,000 minus the free withdrawal amount of $4,000.

   

(b)

In Account Year 4, the free withdrawal amount is $4,500, which equals the prior Account Year's earnings. On a full withdrawal of $52,100, the amount subject to a withdrawal charge is $35,500.

   

(c)

In Account Year 8, the free withdrawal amount is $40,000, which equals 100% of the Purchase Payment of $40,000. On a full withdrawal of $72,800, the amount subject to a withdrawal charge is $0, since the New Payments equal $0.

Partial Withdrawal

Assume a single Purchase Payment of $40,000 is made on the Contract Date, no additional Purchase Payments are made, no partial withdrawals have been taken prior to the fourth Account Year, and there are a series of 4 partial withdrawals made during the fourth Account Year of $4,100, $9,000, $12,000, and $20,000.

(a) 

In Account Year 4, the free withdrawal amount is $4,500, which equals the prior Account Year's earnings. The partial withdrawal amount of $4,100 is less than the free withdrawal amount, so there is no withdrawal charge.

   

(b) 

Since a partial withdrawal of $4,100 was taken, the remaining free withdrawal amount in Account Year 4 is $4,500 - $4,100 = $400. Therefore, $400 of the $9,000 withdrawal is not subject to a withdrawal charge, and $8,600 is subject to a withdrawal charge.

   

(c) 

Since the total of the two prior Account Year 4 partial withdrawals($13,100) is greater than the free withdrawal amount of $4,500, there is no remaining free withdrawal amount. The entire withdrawal amount of $12,000 is subject to a withdrawal charge.

   

(d) 

Since the total of the three prior Account Year 4 partial withdrawals($25,100) is greater than the free withdrawal amount of $4,500, there is no remaining free withdrawal amount. Since the total amount of New Purchase Payments was $40,000 and $25,100 of New Payments has already been surrendered, only $14,900 of this $20,000 withdrawal comes from liquidating Purchase Payments. The remaining $5,100 of this withdrawal comes from liquidating earnings and is not subject to a withdrawal charge.

Note that since all of the Purchase Payments were liquidated by the final withdrawal of $20,000, the total withdrawal charge for the four Account Year 4 withdrawals is $2,485, which is the same amount that was assessed for a full liquidation in Account Year 4 in the example on the previous page. Any additional Account Year 4 withdrawals in the example shown on this page would come from the liquidating of earnings and would not be subject to a withdrawal charge.

Part 2 -- Fixed Account -- Examples of the Market Value Adjustment ("MVA")

      The MVA Factor is: [(1 + I) / (1 + J + b)] ^ (N/12) -1

      These examples assume the following:

o

The Guarantee Amount was allocated to a 5-year Guarantee Period with a Guaranteed Interest Rate of 6% or .06.

   

o

The date of surrender is 2 years from the Expiration Date (N = 24).

   

o

The value of the Guarantee Amount on the date of surrender is $11,910.16.

   

o

The interest earned in the current Account Year is $674.16.

   

o

No transfers or partial withdrawals affecting this Guarantee Amount have been made.

   

o

Withdrawal charges, if any, are calculated in the same manner as shown in the examples in Part 1.

Example of a Negative MVA:

      Assume that on the date of surrender, the current rate (J) is 8% or .08 and the b factor is zero.

The MVA factor =

[(1 + I) / (1 + J + b)] ^ (N/12) -1

=

[(1 + .06) / (1 + .08)] ^ (24/12) - 1

=

(.981^ 2) -1

=

.963 -1

=

-.037

The value of the Guarantee Amount less interest credited to the Guarantee Amount in the current Account Year is multiplied by the MVA factor to determine the MVA:

($11,910.16 - $674.16) X -.037 = -$415.73

-$415.73 represents the MVA that will be deducted from the value of the Guarantee Amount before the deduction of any withdrawal charge.

For a partial withdrawal of $2,000 from this Guarantee Amount, the MVA would be ($2,000.00 - $674.16) X -.037 = -$49.06. -$49.06 represents the MVA that will be deducted from the partial withdrawal amount before the deduction of any withdrawal charge.

Example of a Positive MVA:

Assume that on the date of surrender, the current rate (J) is 5% or .05 and the b factor is zero.

The MVA factor =

[(1 + I) / (1 + J + b)] ^ (N/12) -1

=

[(1 + .06) / (1 + .05)] ^ (24/12) - 1

=

(1.010^ 2) -1

=

1.019 -1

=

.019

The value of the Guarantee Amount less interested credit to the Guarantee Amount in the current Account Year is multiplied by the MVA factor to determine the MVA:

($11,910.16 - $674.16) X .019 = $213.48

$213.48 represents the MVA that would be added to the value of the Guarantee Amount before the deduction of any withdrawal charge.

For a partial withdrawal of $2,000 from this Guarantee Amount, the MVA would be ($2,000.00 - $674.16) X .019 = $25.19.

$25.19 represents the MVA that would be added to the value of the partial withdrawal amount before the deduction of any withdrawal charge.

 

Appendix C

Calculation of Basic Death Benefit

Example 1:

Assume a Purchase Payment of $60,000.00 is made on the Contract Date and an additional Purchase Payment of $40,000.00 is made one year later. Assume that all of the money is invested in the Variable Sub-Accounts, that no Withdrawals are made and that the Account Value on the Death Benefit Date is $80,000.00. The calculation of the Death Benefit to be paid is as follows:

The Basic Death Benefit is the greatest of:

   

       Account Value

=

$ 80,000.00

       Cash Surrender Value*

=

$ 74,400.00

       Purchase Payments

=

$100,000.00

The Basic Death Benefit would therefore be:

 

$100,000.00

Example 2:

Assume a Purchase Payment of $60,000.00 is made on the Contract Date and an additional Purchase Payment of $40,000.00 is made one year later. Assume that all of the money is invested in the Variable Sub-Accounts and that the Account Value is $80,000.00 just prior to a $20,000.00 withdrawal. The Account Value on the Death Benefit Date is $60,000.00.

The Basic Death Benefit is the greatest of:

   

       Account Value

=

$60,000.00

       Cash Surrender Value*

=

$55,200.00

       Adjusted Purchase Payments**

=

$75,000.00

The Basic Death Benefit would therefore be:

 

$75,000.00

*Cash Surrender Value is the amount we would pay you if you surrendered your entire Account Value.

For a description of how Cash Surrender Value is calculated, see "Full Withdrawals" under the subheading "Cash Withdrawals."

**Adjusted Purchase Payments can be calculated as follows:

Payments X (Account Value after withdrawal divided by Account Value before withdrawal)

$100,000.00 X ($60,000.00 divided by $80,000.00)  = $75,000

Calculation of Earnings Enhancement Optional Death Benefit

Example 1:

Assume a Purchase Payment of $60,000 is made on the Contract Date, and an additional Purchase Payment of $40,000 is made one year later. Assume that all of the money is invested into the Sub-Accounts, no withdrawals are made and the Account Value on the Death Benefit Date is $135,000. In addition, this Contract was issued prior to the Owner's 70th birthday. Assume death occurs in Account Year 7. The calculation of the Death Benefit to be paid is as follows:

The Death Benefit Amount will be the greatest of:

Calculation of Death Benefit When EEB and MAV and 5% Roll-Up Riders Are Selected

Assume a Purchase Payment of $60,000 is made on the Contract Date, and an additional Purchase Payment of $40,000 is made one year later. Assume that all of the money is invested in Variable Accounts. No withdrawals are made. The Account Value at the Death Benefit Date is $135,000, the value of the Purchase Payments accumulated at 5% until the Death Benefit Date is $140,000, and the Maximum Anniversary Value is $142,000.

Appendix I

Calculation for Purchase Payment Interest (Bonus Credit)

 

Example 1: Option A

 

If you select Option A, the 2% Bonus Option, we will credit Purchase Payment Interest on all Purchase Payments made during the first Account Year. On each fifth Account Anniversary, we will credit additional Purchase Payment Interest of 2% based on your Account Value, illustrated below:

Initial Purchase Payment of $50,000.00 receives 2% Purchase Payment Interest of $1,000.00.

Subsequent Purchase Payment in the first Account Year of $20,000.00 receives 2% Purchase Payment Interest of $400.00.

Suppose the Account had not gained any earnings or interest during the first 5 Account Years and the Account Value is $71,400.00 (sum of all Purchase Payments and Purchase Payment Interest), we will credit your Account with an additional 2% ($1,428.00).

Using the same Purchase Payments as above, suppose your value on the fifth Account Anniversary is $74,970.00. We will credit your account with an additional 2% of Purchase Payment Interest (equal to $1,499.40).

This 2% Purchase Payment Interest will occur on every fifth Account Anniversary (i.e., 5th, 10th, 15th).

Example 2: Option B with no withdrawals

If you select Option B, the 3% Bonus Option the amount we will credit to your Contract depends on the size of your Net Purchase Payments. The scale is as follow:

Net Purchase Payments less than $100,000.00 will receive

3%

Net Purchase Payments between $100,000.00 through $499,999.99 will receive

4%

Net Purchase Payments greater than or equal to $500,000.00 will receive

5%

Therefore, if your initial investment is $50,000.00, your Purchase Payment Interest will equal 3% of $50,000, or $1500.00.

If you make additional Payments that cause your total Net Purchase Payments to exceed $100,000.00, these Purchase Payments will receive either a 4% or 5% bonus, using the above scale. As an example:

Initial Purchase Payment of $50,000.00 will receive 3% Purchase Payment Interest. A second Purchase Payment of $80,000.00 will result in Net Purchase Payments of $130,000.00. Thus, the $80,000.00 will receive Purchase Payment Interest of 4% equal to $3,200.00.

 

Suppose a third Purchase Payment of $400,000.00 is made. This will bring the Net Purchase Payments to $530,000.00. This $400,000.00 will receive Purchase Payment Interest of 5% equal to $20,000.00.

 

This Account now has total Net Purchase Payments of $530,000.00 and total Purchase Payment Interest of $24,700.00.

In addition to the Purchase Payment Interest paid at the time of each Payment, we will review your first Account Anniversary to ensure that all Net Purchase Payments received the Purchase Payment Interest as described in the above scale. Using the above scenario as an example, upon the first Account Anniversary, we will credit your Account an additional $1800.00, which is equal to:

Total Net Purchase Payments of $530,000.00 X 5%

=

$26,500.00

Total Purchase Payment Interest received

=

$24,700.00

     

First Account Anniversary Adjustment

=

$ 1,800.00

     

Example 3: Option B with a Withdrawal

Using the same example as above, suppose that before the first Account Anniversary you make a withdrawal of $20,000.00. The annual Purchase Payment Interest adjustment would be calculated as follows:

Because your Net Purchase Payments are $510,000.00 ($530,000.00 - $20,000.00 withdrawal), your Purchase Payment Interest on all Net Purchase Payments should be 5%.

Your initial Payment of $50,000.00 received

3%

Your second Payment of $80,000.00 received

4%

Your third Payment of $400,000.00 received the

5%

Your first two Payments minus the withdrawal will receive additional Purchase Payment Interest. This will bring your total Net Purchase Payments up to 5%.

$50,000.00 X 2%

= $1,000.00

$80,000.00 - $20,000.00 = $60,000.00 X 1%

= $  600.00

Total credit due

= $1,600.00

On your First Account Anniversary we will credit your Account with an additional Purchase Payment Interest of $1600.00.

8.05%*

*

The expenses shown are for the year ended December 31, 2002, and do not reflect any fee waiver or expense reimbursement.

The advisers and/or other service providers of certain Funds have agreed to reduce their fees and/or reimburse the Funds' expenses in order to keep the Funds' expenses below specified limits. The expenses of certain Funds are reduced by contractual fee reduction and expense reimbursement arrangements that will remain in effect at least through May 1, 2004. The minimum and maximum Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses for all Funds after all fee reductions and expense reimbursements are 0.57% and 1.26%, respectively. Each fee reduction and/or expense reimbursement arrangement is described in the relevant Fund's prospectus.

CALCULATION OF PERFORMANCE DATA

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN

STANDARDIZED AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN

The Securities and Exchange Commission defines "standardized" total return information to mean Average Annual Total Return, based on a hypothetical initial purchase payment of $1,000 and calculated in accordance with the formula set forth after the table, but presented only for periods subsequent to the date the sub-account was first offered by the separate account.

<R>

The tables below show, for various Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account, the Average Annual Total Return for the stated periods (or shorter period indicated in the table), based upon a hypothetical initial Purchase Payment of $1,000, calculated in accordance with the SEC formula. The calculation assumes that you have selected the EEB Plus MAV optional death benefit rider for total maximum insurance charges of 1.85% of the average daily net assets in your Variable Account. If you select the Basic Death Benefit or a less expensive optional death benefit rider, your insurance charges would be less than 1.85% and the Average Annual Total Return would be more favorable. For purposes of determining these investment results, the actual investment performance of each Sub-Account is reflected from the date the Sub-Account commenced investment operations in the Variable Account (the "Variable Account Inception Date"). No information is shown for Sub-Accounts that had not commenced operations as of December 31, 2002.

* The Life of Fund calculation for any Fund under a year old is not annualized.

</R>

The Average Annual Total Return for each period was determined by finding the average annual compounded rate of return over each period that would equate the initial amount invested to the ending redeemable value for that period, in accordance with the following formula:

 

P (1 + T) ^ n = ERV

Where:

P =

a hypothetical initial Purchase Payment of $1,000

T =

average annual total return for the period

n =

number of years

ERV =

redeemable value (as of the end of the period) of a hypothetical $1,000 Purchase Payment made at the beginning of the 1-year, 5-year, or 10-year period (or fractional portion thereof)

The formula assumes that: (1) all recurring fees have been deducted from the Participant's Account; (2) all applicable non-recurring Contract charges are deducted at the end of the period, and (3) there will be a full surrender at the end of the period.

The $50 annual Account Fee will be allocated among the Sub-Accounts so that each Sub-Account's allocated portion of the Account Fee is proportional to the percentage of the number of Individual Contracts and Certificates that have amounts allocated to that Sub-Account. Because the impact of the Account Fee on a particular Contract may differ from those assumed in the computation due to differences between actual allocations and the assumed ones, the total return that would have been experienced by an actual Contract over these same time periods may have been different from that shown above.

 

The Variable Account may illustrate its results over various periods and compare its results to indices and other variable annuities in sales materials including advertisements, brochures and sports. Such results may be computed on a "cumulative" and/or "annualized" basis.

"Cumulative" quotations are arrived at by calculating the change in the Accumulation Unit value of a Sub-Account between the first and last day of the base period being measured, and expressing the difference as a percentage of the Accumulation Unit value at the beginning of the base period.

"Annualized" quotations (described in the following table as "Compound Growth Rate") are calculated by applying a formula which determines the level rate of return which, if earned over the entire base period, would produce the cumulative return.

ADVERTISING AND SALES LITERATURE

As set forth in the Prospectus, the Company may refer to the following organizations (and others) in its marketing materials:

IBBOTSON ASSOCIATES, Inc. is a consulting firm that provides a variety of historical data, including total return, capital appreciation and income, on the stock market as well as other investment asset classes, and inflation. This information will be used primarily for comparative purposes and to illustrate general financial planning principles.

In its advertisements and other sales literature for the Variable Account and the Funds, the Company intends to illustrate the advantages of the Contracts in a number of ways:

DOLLAR-COST AVERAGING ILLUSTRATIONS. These illustrations will generally discuss the price-leveling effect of making regular investments in the same Sub-Accounts over a period of time, to take advantage of the trends in market prices of the portfolio securities purchased by those Sub-Accounts.

SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM. A service provided by the Company, through which a Participant may take any distribution allowed by Internal Revenue Code Section 401 (a) (9) in the case of Qualified Contracts, or permitted under Internal Revenue Code Section 72 in the case of Non-Qualified Contracts, by way of a series of partial withdrawals. Withdrawals under this program may be fully or partially includible in income and may be subject to a 10% penalty tax. Consult your tax advisor.

THE COMPANY'S AND THE FUNDS' CUSTOMERS. Sales literature for the Variable Account and the Funds may refer to the number of clients which they serve.

THE COMPANY'S ASSETS, SIZE. The Company may discuss its general financial condition (see, for example, the references to Standard & Poor's, Duff & Phelps and A.M. Best Company above); it may refer to its assets; and it may discuss its relative size and/or ranking among companies in the industry or among any sub-classification of those companies, based upon recognized evaluation criteria. For example, at December 31, 1998, the Company was the 36th largest U.S. life insurance company based upon overall assets.

COMPOUND INTEREST ILLUSTRATIONS. These will emphasize several advantages of the variable annuity contract. For example, but not by way of limitation, the literature may emphasize the potential savings through tax deferral; the potential advantage of the Variable Account over the Fixed Account; and the compounding effect when a participant makes regular deposits to his or her account.

The Company may use hypothetical illustrations of the benefits of tax deferral, including but not limited to the following chart:

The chart below assumes an initial investment of $10,000 which remains fully invested for the entire time period, an 8% annual return, and a 33% combined federal and state income tax rate. It compares how 3 different investments might fare over 10, 20, and 30 years. The first example illustrates an investment in a non-tax-deferred account and assumes that taxes are paid annually out of that account. The second example illustrates how the same investment would grow in a tax-deferred investment, such as an annuity. The third example illustrates the net value of the tax-deferred investment after paying taxes on the full account value.

THIS ILLUSTRATION IS HYPOTHETICAL AND DOES NOT REPRESENT THE PROJECTED PERFORMANCE OF THE CONTRACT OR ANY OF ITS INVESTMENT OPTIONS. THE ILLUSTRATION DOES NOT REFLECT THE DEDUCTION OF ANY CHARGES OR FEES RELATED TO PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT, MORTALITY AND EXPENSE, OR ACCOUNT ADMINISTRATION. TAXES ON EARNINGS WITHIN AN ANNUITY ARE DUE UPON WITHDRAWAL. WITHDRAWALS MAY ALSO BE SUBJECT TO SURRENDER CHARGES AND, IF MADE PRIOR TO AGE 59 1/2, A 10% FEDERAL PENALTY TAX.

 

 

TAX-DEFERRED ACCUMULATION

In general, individuals who own annuity contracts are not taxed on increases in the value of their annuity contracts until some form of distribution is made under the contract. As a result, the annuity contract would benefit from tax deferral during the contract's accumulation phase; this would have the effect of permitting an investment in an annuity contract to grow more rapidly that a comparable investment under which increases in value are taxed on a current basis.

In reports or other communications to you or in advertising or sales materials, we may also describe the effects of tax-deferred compounding on the Variable Account's investment returns. We may illustrate these effects in charts or graphs and from time to time may include comparisons of returns under the Contract or in general on a tax-deferred basis, with the returns on a taxable basis. Different tax rates may be assumed. Any such illustrative chart or graph would show accumulations on an initial investment or Purchase Payment, assuming a given amount (including the applicable interest credit), hypothetical gross annual returns compounded annually, and a stated rate of return. The values shown for the taxable investment would not include any deduction for management fees or other expenses, but would assume the annual deduction of federal and state taxes from investment returns. The values shown for the Contract in a chart would reflect the deduction of Contract expenses, such as the mortality and expense risk charge, the 0.15% administrative charge, and the $50 annual Account Fee. In addition, the values shown would assume that the Participant has not surrendered his or her Contract or made any partial surrenders until the end of the period shown. The chart would assume a full surrender at the end of the period shown and the payment of federal and state taxes, at a rate of not more than 33%, on the amount in excess of the Purchase Payments.

In developing illustrative tax deferral charts, we will observe these general principles:

-

The assumed rate of earnings will be realistic.

-

The illustrative chart will accurately depict the effect of all fees and charges or provide a narrative that prominently discloses all fees and charges under the Contract.

-

Charts comparing accumulation values for tax-deferred and non-tax-deferred investments will depict the implications of any surrender.

-

A narrative accompanying the chart will prominently disclose that there may be a 10% tax penalty on a surrender by a Participant who has not reached age 59 1/2 at the time of surrender.

The rates of return illustrated in any chart would be hypothetical and are not an estimate or guaranty of performance. Actual tax returns may vary among Participants.

 

 

CALCULATIONS

EXAMPLE OF VARIABLE ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE CALCULATION

Suppose the net asset value of a Fund share at the end of the current valuation period is $18.38; at the end of the immediately preceding valuation period was $18.32; the Valuation Period is one day; and no dividends or distributions caused Fund shares to go "ex-dividend" during the current Valuation Period. $18.38 divided by $18.32 is 1.00327511. Subtracting the one day risk factor for mortality and expense risks and the administrative expense charge of .00005116 (the daily equivalent of the current maximum charge of 1.85% on an annual basis) gives a net investment factor of 1.00322395. If the value of the variable accumulation unit for the immediately preceding valuation period had been 14.5645672, the value for the current valuation period would be 14.6115227 (14.5645672 X 1.00322395).

EXAMPLE OF VARIABLE ANNUITY UNIT CALCULATION

Suppose the circumstances of the first example exist, and the value of an annuity unit for the immediately preceding valuation period had been 12.3456789. If the first variable annuity payment is determined by using an annuity payment based on an assumed interest rate of 3% per year, the value of the annuity unit for the current valuation period would be 12.34846153(12.3456789 X 1.00323509 (the Net Investment Factor based on the daily equivalent of the maximum annuity phase charge of 1.45% on an annual basis) X0.99991902 is the factor, for a one day Valuation Period, that neutralizes the assumed interest rate of 3% per year used to establish the Annuity Payment Rates found in certain Contracts.

EXAMPLE OF VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENT CALCULATION

Suppose that a Participant Account is credited with 8,765.4321 variable accumulation units of a particular Sub-Account but is not credited with any fixed accumulation units; that the variable accumulation unit value and the annuity unit value for the particular Sub-Account for the valuation period which ends immediately preceding the annuity commencement date are 14.5645672 and 12.3456789 respectively; that the annuity payment rate for the age and option elected is $6.78 per $1,000; and that the annuity unit value on the day prior to the second variable annuity payment date is 12.3846153. The first variable annuity payment would be $865.57 (8,765.4321 X 14.5645672 X 6.78 divided by 1,000). The number of annuity units credited would be 70.1112 ($865.57 divided by 12.3456789) and the second variable annuity payment would be $868.30 (70.1112 X 12.3846153).

 

DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACT

We offer the Contract on a continuous basis. Contracts are sold by licensed insurance agents in those states where the Contract may be lawfully sold. Such agents will be registered representatives of broker-dealers registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 who are members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and who have entered into distribution agreements with the Company and the general distributor and principal underwriter of the Contracts, Clarendon Insurance Agency, Inc. ("Clarendon"), One Sun Life Executive Park, Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts 02481. Clarendon is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Clarendon is registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a broker-dealer and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Clarendon also acts as the general distributor of certain other annuity contracts issued by the Company and its subsidiary, Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York, and variable life insurance contracts issued by the Company.

Commissions and other distribution compensation will be paid by the Company to the selling agents and will not be more than 6.50% of Purchase Payments. In addition, after the first Account Year, broker-dealers who have entered into distribution agreements with the Company may receive an annual renewal commission of no more than 0.50% of the Participant's Account Value. In addition to commissions, the Company may, from time to time, pay or allow additional promotional incentives, in the form of cash or other compensation. The Company reserves the right to offer these additional incentives only to certain broker-dealers that sell or are expected to sell during specified time periods certain minimum amounts of Contracts or Certificates or other contracts offered by the Company. Promotional incentives may change at any time. Commissions will not be paid with respect to Participant Accounts established for the personal account of employees of the Company or any of its affiliates, or of persons engaged in the distribution of the Contract, or of immediate family members of such employees or persons. In addition, commissions may be waived or reduced in connection with certain transactions described in the Prospectus under the heading "Waivers; Reduced Charges; Credits; Special Guaranteed Interest Rates."

CUSTODIAN

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

For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

GENERAL

Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) (the "Company") was incorporated in 1970 as a life insurance company domiciled in the state of Delaware. As of December 31, 2002, the Company was licensed in 48 states and certain other territories. Effective January 31, 2001, the Company became authorized to do business in 49 states. In addition, the Company's insurance affiliate, Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York ("SLNY"), is licensed in New York. The Company and its subsidiaries are engaged in the sale of individual and group variable life insurance, individual fixed and variable annuities, group fixed and variable annuities, group pension contracts, guaranteed investment contracts ("GICs"), group life, group disability and stop loss insurance, third party insurance administration, and other asset management services.

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

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2002, the Company owned all of the outstanding shares of Sun Life Financial Services Limited ("SLFSL"), Sun Benefit Services Company, Inc. ("SBSC"), Sun Capital Advisers, Inc. ("SCA"), Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) SPE 97-1, Inc. ("SPE 97-1), Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Holdings General Partner, Inc. ("the General Partner"), Vision Financial Corporation ("Vision") and Clarendon Insurance Agency, Inc ("Clarendon"). The results are also consolidated with Sun Life of Canada Funding, LLC ("SLOC Funding"), which is owned by a trust sponsored by the Company and Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Limited Partnership I ("the Partnership"), for which the General Partner is the sole general partner.

On December 31, 2002, the operations of SLNY were merged with another affiliated company, Keyport Benefit Life Insurance Company, ("KBL"). As a result of this merger Keyport Life Insurance Company ("Keyport"), the former parent company of KBL and an affiliate of the Company, owns 67% of the combined entity and the Company retained a 33% interest in the combined entity. For the year ended December 31, 2002, the results of operations for SLNY were consolidated with the Company's results. As of December 31, 2002, the assets and liabilities of SLNY are no longer consolidated with the Company.

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

For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000

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

SLNY is engaged in the sale of individual fixed and variable annuity contracts and group life, group disability insurance and stop loss contracts in its state of domicile, New York. SLFSL serves as the marketing administrator for the distribution of the offshore products of SLOC, an affiliate. SCA is a registered investment adviser. SPE 97-I, was organized for the purpose of engaging in activities incidental to securitizing mortgage loans. The General Partner is the sole general partner of the Partnership. Clarendon is a registered broker-dealer that acts as the general distributor of certain annuity and life insurance contracts issued by the Company and its affiliates. As of December 31, 2002, SBSC was inactive. SLOC Funding, was organized for the purpose of engaging in activities incidental to establishing the new guaranteed investment products of the Company. The Partnership was established to purchase subordinated debentures issued by the Company's parent, SLF Holdings, and to issue Partnership capital securities to an affiliated business trust, Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Capital Trust I, ("Capital Trust I").

On March 12, 2001, the Company purchased Vision for approximately $5.0 million. Vision, based in Keene, N.H., is a third-party administrator that specializes in the administration of insurance products sold at the worksite. The Company has recorded the acquisition using the purchase method of accounting and in connection with the acquisition recorded approximately $1.6 million of goodwill. The results of operations of Vision for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 were not material to the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2000, the Company sold Sun Life Information Services Ireland, Limited ("SLISL") to SLOC. SLISL provides information systems development services to SLOC and its subsidiaries.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates are those used in determining deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC"), investment allowances and the liabilities for future policyholder benefits. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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

<R>

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

</R>

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

INVESTMENTS

</R>

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 intent, as held-to-maturity, trading, or available-for-sale. In order for the security to be classified as held-to-maturity, the Company must have positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Securities held-to-maturity are stated at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading. Securities that do not meet this criterion are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at aggregate fair value with changes in unrealized gains or losses reported net of amortization of DAC and of deferred income taxes in a separate component of other comprehensive income. Trading securities are carried at aggregate fair value with changes in unrealized gains or losses reported as a component of net investment income. Fair values for publicly traded securities are obtained from external market quotations. For privately placed fixed maturities, fair values are estimated by taking into account prices for publicly traded securities of similar credit risk, maturities repayment and liquidity characteristics. All security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis.

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

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

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

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

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

For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000

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

Other invested assets consist primarily of a leveraged lease, derivative investments and tax credit partnerships.

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

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

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

DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS

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

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

OTHER ASSETS

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

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

POLICY LIABILITIES AND ACCRUALS

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

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

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

REVENUE AND EXPENSES

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

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

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

INCOME TAXES

The Company and its subsidiaries participate in a consolidated federal income tax return with Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada - U.S. Operations Holdings, Inc. and other affiliates. Deferred income taxes are generally recognized when assets and liabilities have different values for financial statement and tax reporting purposes, and for other temporary taxable and deductible differences as defined by SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". These differences result primarily from policy reserves, policy acquisition expenses and unrealized gains or losses on investments.

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

SEPARATE ACCOUNTS

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

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain amounts in the prior years' financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2002 presentation.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

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

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

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

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

 

 

 

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

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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands)

For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000

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

In January of 2003 the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN No. 46"). FIN No. 46 addresses off-balance sheet financing entities. The Company will adopt FIN No. 46 as required in fiscal 2003 and is currently evaluating its effect on the consolidated financial statements. Although the Company is still evaluating the effect of FIN No. 46, it is reasonably possible that FIN No. 46 may require consolidation of, or additional disclosures related to, the entity described below.

The Company, through its subsidiary, SCA, may have to consolidate, Solar Investment Grade CBO II Limited, the special purpose entity ("SPE") used to facilitate the collateralized debt offering SOLAR CBO II. As of December 31, 2002 the assets and liabilities of this entity were approximately $409.0 million and $407.0 million, respectively. The actual amount that may be consolidated is dependent on the analysis of expected losses and residual returns as compared to the other equity holders and sub-collateral managers. The Company's maximum exposure to loss as a result of its investment is approximately $9.8 million at December 31, 2002.

Additionally, the Company and its affiliates act as collateral manager in several other collateralized debt and mortgage obligation transactions in which the Company is the transferor of assets to a Qualified SPE. In these transactions, the Company establishes a trust, as a Qualified SPE, that purchases a portfolio of assets and issues trust certificates that represent interests in the portfolio of assets. In addition to receiving variable compensation for managing the portfolio, the Company also may retain certain trust certificates. These transactions will not require consolidation because a Qualified SPE was used to facilitate the transactions.

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

2. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

On December 31, 2002, KBL, a wholly owned subsidiary of Keyport, an affiliate, merged with and into the Company's wholly-owned life insurance subsidiary, SLNY. Keyport and its subsidiaries, including KBL, were purchased on October 31, 2001 by SLC (U.S.) Holdings, an upstream parent of the Company. As a result of the merger, the Company continued to hold 2,000 shares of SLNY's common stock; however, the par value of the common stock was converted to $350 per share. In exchange for its investment in KBL, SLNY issued Keyport 4,001 shares of its common stock valued at $350 per share. As a result of the share issuance and change in par value, the Company's ownership percentage of SLNY became 33%, with Keyport holding the remaining 67%. The accounting for this transaction resulted in $23.3 million of additional paid-in-capital to the Company.

On December 31, 2002, prior to the completion of the merger, the Company contributed capital in the amount of $14.85 million to SLNY. Keyport contributed capital totaling $30.15 million to KBL. These contributions were approved by the respective boards of directors in anticipation of the merger transaction.

On December 18, 2002 the Company sold its' wholly-owned subsidiary, SLD to another affiliate, SLF Holdings, for $10.5 million. No gain or loss was realized on this transaction.

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

2. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES (CONTINUED)

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

The Company has agreements with Keyport and certain of its subsidiaries under which the Company provides wholesale distribution services in connection with certain annuity products offered by Keyport. Amounts received under this agreement amounted to approximately $22.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2002.

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

On May 29, 2002, the Company sold its $100 million note from MFS, an affiliate, to Keyport, another affiliate, for approximately $108 million. The note was included in fixed maturities available-for-sale at December 31, 2001. The note was sold at a gain of $8 million.

On June 27, 2000, the Company sold SLISL to SLOC. The Company realized a pretax gain of $451,000 on the sale.

During 2001 and 2000, the Company declared and paid dividends in the amount of $15 million, and $10 million, respectively, to its parent, SLC (U.S.) Holdings. The Company did not make any dividend payments in 2002.

The Company and its subsidiaries have management services agreements with SLOC which provide that SLOC will furnish, as requested, certain services and facilities on a cost-reimbursement basis. Expenses under these agreements amounted to approximately $37.1 million in 2002, $40.3 million in 2001, and $31.9 million in 2000.

On December 21, 2000, the Company's parent, SLC (U.S.) Holdings, transferred its ownership in all 200 shares issued and outstanding of the General Partner to the Company in exchange for 537 shares of the Company's common stock totaling $537,000, plus $65.5 million of additional paid in capital. As a result of the acquisition of the General Partner on December 21, 2000, and its ownership interest in the Partnership, the Company became the owner of a $600 million 8.526% subordinated debenture due May 6, 2027 issued by the Company's parent, SLC (U.S.) Holdings. The Company also assumed the liability of the partnership capital securities issued to Capital Trust I, a Delaware business trust sponsored by the Company's parent. Partnership capital securities issued of $600.01 million accrue interest at 8.526% and have no scheduled maturity date. The partnership capital securities, which represent the limited partner interest of the Partnership, may be redeemed on or after May 6, 2027. The Company has accounted for the acquisition of the General Partner using the purchase method of accounting.

2. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES (CONTINUED)

Effective January 2002, essentially all United States employees of Keyport, an affiliate, and SLOC became employees of the Company. As a result, the Company has assumed most of the operating expenses of Keyport, including salaries and benefits, as well as the salaries and benefits previously incurred by SLOC in the United States. In accordance with a tri-party management service agreement between the Company, Keyport, and SLOC, the Company provides personnel and certain services to Keyport and SLOC, as requested. Reimbursements under this agreement, which are recorded as a reduction of other operating expenses, were approximately $51.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. Management believes inter-company revenues and expenses are calculated on a reasonable basis, however, these amounts may not necessarily be indicative of the costs that would be incurred if the Company operated on a standalone basis.

The Company leases office space to SLOC under lease agreements with terms expiring in September 2005 and options to extend the terms for each of twelve successive five year terms at fair market value of the fixed rent for the term which is ending. Rent received by the Company under the leases amounted to approximately $11.7 million, $8.8 million, and $7.8 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

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

On July 25, 2002, the Company issued an $80 million promissory note at 5.71%, maturing June 30, 2012 to an affiliate, Sun Life (Hungary) Group Financing Limited Liability Company ("Sun Life (Hungary) Ltd"). The Company pays interest semi-annually to Sun Life (Hungary), Ltd. On December 31, 2002 the Company paid $1.9 million in interest. The proceeds of the note were used to purchase fixed rate government and corporate bonds.

The Company had $565 million of surplus notes issued to its parent, SLC (U.S.) Holdings, as of December 31, 2000. In October 2001, SLC (U.S.) Holdings transferred its ownership in the Company's surplus notes totaling $565 million to Sun Life Financial (U.S.) Finance, Inc., an affiliate of the Company, at book value.

The Company has accrued $4.3 million for unpaid interest on surplus notes held by an affiliate at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Company expensed $43.3 million for interest on these surplus notes for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

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

The Company has made commitments of mortgage loans on real estate and other loans into the future. The outstanding commitments for these mortgages amount to $12.1 million and $39.8 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

During 2002 and 2000, the Company sold commercial mortgage loans in securitization transactions. In these transactions the Company established a trust, as a Qualified SPE to purchase the assets and issue the trust certificates. In the transactions, the Company retained investment tranches as well as servicing rights. The investors in the securitization trusts have no recourse to the Company's other assets for failure of debtors to pay when due. The value of the Company's retained interest is subject to credit and interest rate risk on the transferred financial assets. The Company recognized a pretax gain of $4.5 million and $763,000 for the 2002 and 2000 securitization transactions, respectively.

LEVERAGED LEASES

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

DERIVATIVES

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

SWAPS

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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000

3. INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)

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

The net (decrease) increase in net investment income related to swap settlement payments was $(34.2) million, $(23.5) million, and $.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

The Company does not employ hedge accounting treatment. As a result, changes in the fair value of swaps are reported in current period operations as a component of net investment income. The net decrease to net investment income due to changes in the fair value of swaps was $73.1 million, $64.3 million and $53.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

The Company recognized gross realized gains on swaps of $3.9 million, $6.2 million and $3.9 million in 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively, as well as gross realized losses of $12.0 million, $8.9 million, and $1.2 million during 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively.

The Company's primary risks associated with these transactions are exposure to potential credit loss in the event of non-performance by counter-parties and market risk. The Company regularly assesses the strength of the counter-parties and generally enters into transactions with counter-parties rated "A" or better by nationally recognized ratings agencies. Management believes that the risk of incurring losses related to credit risk is remote. As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company's derivatives had no significant concentration of credit risk.

The Company is required to pledge and receive collateral for open derivative contracts. The amount of collateral that is required is determined by agreed upon thresholds with the counter-parties. The Company currently pledges cash and U.S. Treasury bonds to satisfy this collateral requirement. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, $37.0 million and $32.9 million, respectively, of fixed maturities were pledged as collateral and are included with fixed maturities.

OPTIONS

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

The net increase (decrease) in net investment income related to changes in the fair value of options was $9.0 million, $(28.9) million and $(13.5) million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Company does not employ hedge accounting treatment. As a result, changes in the fair value of swaps are reported in current period operations as a component of net investment income.

The Company recognized gross realized gains on options of $140.5 million, $4.0 million and $0 in 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively, as well as gross realized losses of $10.9 million, $0, and $0 during 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively.

6. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

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

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

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

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

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

7. REINSURANCE

INDIVIDUAL INSURANCE

The Company has agreements with SLOC and several unrelated companies which provide for reinsurance of portions of the net-amount-at-risk under certain individual variable universal life, bank owned life insurance ("BOLI"), and corporate owned life insurance ("COLI") policies. These amounts are reinsured on either a monthly renewable or a yearly renewable term basis.

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

GROUP INSURANCE

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

7. REINSURANCE (CONTINUED)

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

The effects of reinsurance were as follows:

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

8. RETIREMENT PLANS

PENSION PLANS

Through December 31, 2001, the Company was a participant in a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan for employees sponsored by SLOC. Consistent with the transfer of all employees to Sun Life of Canada U.S. on January 1, 2002, the plan sponsorship for the employee and the agent pension plan was transferred to the Company. Expenses are allocated to participating companies based on a manner consistent with the allocation of employee compensation expenses.

The projected benefit obligations were based on calculations that utilize certain assumptions. The assumed weighted average discount rate was 6.75%, 7.00% and 7.50% for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The expected return on plan assets for 2002, 2001 and 2000 was 8.75% and the assumed rate of compensation increase was 4.0% for 2002, and 4.5% for 2001 and 2000. The Company's share of the net periodic benefit costs for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 were $1.0 million and $0.81 million, respectively.

The Company sponsors and participates in a 401(k) savings plan for which substantially all employees of at least age 21 are eligible for at date of hire. Under the plan, the Company matches up to specified amounts, the employees' contributions to the plan. The amount of the 2002 employer contributions under plan sponsorship for the Company and its affiliates was $4.03 million. Amounts are allocated to affiliates based on employees' contributions. The Company's portion of the expense was $956,000, $462,000 and $354,000 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively.

OTHER POST-RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

Through December 31, 2001, the Company was a participant in a post-retirement benefit pension plan for employees sponsored by SLOC providing certain health, dental, and life insurance benefits ("post-retirement benefits") for retired employees and dependents. Consistent with the transfer of all employees to Sun Life of Canada U.S. on January 1, 2002, the plan sponsorship was transferred to the Company. Expenses are allocated to participating companies based on the number of participants.

The Company's share of the benefit obligation for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 was $29.2 million and $17.1 million, respectively.

The Company's share of the accrued benefit cost at December 31, 2001 and 2000 was $13.4 million and $12.1 million, respectively.

The Company's share of the net periodic benefit costs for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 was $256,000 and $219,000 respectively.

In order to measure the post-retirement benefit obligation at December 31, 2002, the Company assumed a 12.0% annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits. In addition, medical cost inflation is assumed to be 11% in 2003 and assumed to decrease gradually to 5.5% for 2013 and remain at that level thereafter. Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the health care plans. For example, increasing the health care cost trend rate assumptions by one percentage point in each year would increase the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation at December 31, 2002 by $4.3 million, and the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic post-retirement benefit expense for 2002 by $0.6 million. Conversely, decreasing assumed rates by one percentage point in each year would decrease the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation at December 31, 2002 by $3.6 million, and the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic post-retirement benefit expense for 2002 by $0.5 million. The assumed weighted average discount rate used in determining the post-retirement benefit obligation was 6.75% for 2002, 7.00% for 2001 and 7.50% for 2000.

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

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

The Company regularly updates its estimates of liabilities for unpaid claims and claims adjustment expenses as new information becomes available and further events occur which may impact the resolution of unsettled claims for its group disability lines of business. Changes in prior estimates are recorded in results of operations in the year such changes are determined to be needed. As a result of the merger of SLNY and KBL, the liabilities of SLNY, including all of the group liabilities for Company, are no longer consolidated with the liabilities of the Company.

During 2002, DAC amortization was increased as a result of actual results and revised estimates of future gross profits. The change in the market value of separate accounts assets (approximately $57.0 million) and revised cash flow assumptions (approximately $39.0 million) were the major items affecting the change in gross profit assumptions.

12. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company offers financial products and services such as fixed and variable annuities, guaranteed investment contracts, retirement plan services, and life insurance on an individual and group basis, as well as disability insurance on a group basis. Within these areas, the Company conducts business principally in three operating segments and maintains a Corporate segment to provide for the capital needs of the three operating segments and to engage in other financing related activities. Net investment income is allocated based on segmented assets by line of business.

Management evaluates the results of the operating segments on an after-tax basis. The Company does not depend on one or a few customers, brokers or agents for a significant portion of its operations.

The Wealth Management segment markets and administers individual and group variable annuity products, individual and group fixed annuity products which include market value adjusted annuities, and other retirement benefit products. The Company began offering GICS to unrelated third parties in overseas markets during the second quarter of 2000. These contracts may contain any of a number of features including variable or fixed interest rates and equity index options and may be denominated in foreign currencies. The Company uses derivative instruments to manage the risks inherent in the contract options.

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

The Group Protection segment markets and administers group life, long-term disability and stop loss insurance to small and mid-size employers in the State of New York. As of December 31, 2002, as a result of the SLNY/KBL merger, the results of the Group Protection segment will no longer be consolidated with the Company.

The Corporate segment includes the unallocated capital of the Company, its debt financing, and items not otherwise attributable to the other segments.

13. REGULATORY FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

The Company's statutory surplus and net income (loss) were as follows:

$   (137,139)

$        (236)

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

Accounting changes adopted to conform to the provisions of the NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures manual, version effective January 1, 2001, are reported as changes in accounting principles in the statutory financial statements. The cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles is reported as an adjustment to unassigned funds (surplus) in the period of the change in accounting principle. The cumulative effect is the difference between the amount of capital and surplus at the beginning of the year and the amount of capital and surplus that would have been reported at that date if the new accounting principles had been applied retroactively for all prior periods. As a result of these changes, the Company reported a change of accounting principle in its statutory financial statements, as an adjustment that increased unassigned funds (surplus), by $25.9 million as of January 1, 2001. This adjustment is due to $25.5 million of net deferred tax assets established as of January 1, 2001, offset by a decrease of $470,000 in the valuation of the Company's obligation for post-retirement benefits other than pensions on an NAIC basis as of January 1, 2001.

14. DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS

The Company's and its insurance affiliate's ability to pay dividends are subject to certain restrictions. Delaware and New York have enacted laws governing the payment of dividends to stockholders by insurers. These laws affect the dividend paying ability of the Company and SLNY. Pursuant to Delaware's statute, the maximum amount of dividends and other distributions that an insurer may pay in any twelve-month period, without prior approval of the Delaware Commissioner of Insurance, is limited to the greater of (i) 10% of its statutory surplus as of the preceding December 31, or (ii) the individual company's statutory net gain from operations for the preceding calendar year (if such insurer is a life company), or its net income (not including realized capital gains) for the preceding calendar year (if such insurer is not a life company). Any dividends to be paid by an insurer, whether or not in excess of the aforementioned threshold, from a source other than statutory surplus, would also require the prior approval of the Delaware Commissioner of Insurance. The Company did not pay any dividends in 2002 and paid $15.0 million and $10.0 million of dividends to its parent, SLC (U.S.) Holdings, during 2001, and 2000, respectively.

14. DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS (CONTINUED)

On September 20, 2000, New York insurance law was amended to permit a domestic stock life insurance company to distribute a dividend to its shareholders, without notice to the New York Superintendent of Insurance, where the aggregate amount of such dividend in any calendar year does not exceed the lesser of: (1) ten percent of its surplus to policyholders as of the immediately preceding calendar year; or (2) its net gain from operations for the immediately preceding calendar year, not including realized capital gains. Under the previous law, domestic stock life insurers were prohibited from distributing any dividends to shareholders unless the insurer filed a notice of its intention to declare a dividend and its amount with the superintendent at least 30 days in advance of the proposed declaration, and such proposed distribution was not disapproved by the superintendent. No dividends were paid during 2002 or 2001. Dividends in the amount of $4.7 million were declared and paid during 2000 by the SLNY to the Company. These dividends were approved by the Board of Directors and the State of New York Insurance Department.

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

REGULATORY AND INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS

Unfavorable economic conditions may contribute to an increase in the number of insurance companies that are under regulatory supervision. This may result in an increase in mandatory assessments by state guaranty funds, or voluntary payments by solvent insurance companies to cover losses to policyholders of insolvent or rehabilitated companies. Mandatory assessments, which are subject to statutory limits, can be partially recovered through reduction in future premium taxes in some states. Under insurance guaranty fund laws in each state, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, insurers licensed to do business can be assessed by state insurance guaranty associations for certain obligations of insolvent insurance companies to policyholders and claimants. Most of these laws do provide, however, that an assessment may be excused or deferred if it would threaten an insurer's solvency and further provide annual limits on such assessments. Part of the assessments paid by the Company pursuant to these laws may be used as credits for a portion of the associated premium taxes.

LITIGATION

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 of the Company.

LINES OF CREDIT

The Company has syndicated two lines of credit each in the amount of $250 million. There are 15 banks in the syndicate of lenders. The banks have committed to lend funds of up to $500 million when requested by the Company at prevailing rates determined in accordance with the line of credit agreements. One line of credit terminates October 2003, the other in October 2007. As of December 31, 2002, no amounts have been borrowed.

Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15. These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sun life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements

(1) Organization

Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Variable Account F (the "Variable Account"), a separate account of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) (the "Sponsor"), was established on July 13, 1989 as a funding vehicle for the variable portion of Regatta contracts, Regatta Gold contracts, Regatta Classic contracts, Regatta Platinum contracts, Regatta Extra contracts, Regatta Access contracts, Regatta Choice contracts, Regatta Flex 4 contracts, Regatta Flex II contracts, Regatta Choice II contracts, Regatta Masters Extra contracts, Regatta Masters Choice contracts, Regatta Masters Access contracts and Regatta Masters Flex contracts (collectively, the "Contracts") and certain other fixed and variable annuity contracts issued by the Sponsor. The Variable Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a unit investment trust and exist in accordance with the regulations of the Delaware insurance department.

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 certain open-end mutual funds registered under the Investment Act of 1940. With respect to the Regatta contracts, Regatta Gold contracts, Regatta Classic contracts, Regatta Platinum contracts, Regatta Extra contracts, Regatta Access contracts, Regatta Choice contracts, Regatta Flex 4 contracts, Regatta Flex II contracts and the Regatta Choice II contracts, the Funds are: MFS/Sun Life Series Trust (the "Series Trust"). With respect to the Regatta Masters Extra contracts, Regatta Masters Choice contracts, Regatta Masters Access contracts and Regatta Masters Flex contracts, the funds are: Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust, Lord Abbett Series Fund, Inc., MFS/Sun Life Series Trust, Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Funds and Sun Capital Advisers Trust (collectively with the Series Trust, the "Funds").

Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of the Variable Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the Sponsor's other assets and liabilities. The portion of the Variable Account's assets applicable to the variable annuity contracts is not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business the Sponsor may conduct.

(2) Significant Accounting Policies

General

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Sponsor's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Valuations

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

Exchanges between Sub-Accounts requested by participants under the Contracts are recorded in the new Sub-Account upon receipt of the redemption proceeds.

Federal Income Tax Status

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

(3) Contract Charges and Related Party Transactions

A mortality and expense risk charge based on the value of the Variable Account is deducted from the Variable Account at the end of each valuation period for the mortality and expense risks assumed by the Sponsor. The deductions are transferred periodically to the Sponsor. Currently, the deduction is at an effective annual rate as follows:

Each year on the account anniversary, an account administration fee ("Account Fee") is equal to $30 in the case of Regatta contracts, the lesser of $30 or 2% of the participant's account value in the case of Regatta Gold contracts, the lesser of $35 or 2% of the participant's account value in the case of Regatta Platinum contracts, $35 in the case of Regatta Extra and Regatta Choice contracts, and $50 in the case of Regatta Classic, Regatta Access, Regatta Flex 4, Regatta Flex II, Regatta Choice II, Regatta Masters Extra, Regatta Masters Choice, Regatta Masters Access and Regatta Masters Flex contracts (after account year 5, the account fee, for Regatta Gold, Regatta Platinum, Regatta Extra and Regatta Choice contracts, may be changed annually, but it may not exceed the lesser of $50 or 2% of the participant's account value) is deducted from the participant's account to reimburse the Sponsor for certain administrative expenses. After the annuity commencement date, the Account Fee will be deducted pro rata from each variable annuity payment made during the year.

Massachusetts Financial Services Company, an affiliate of the Sponsor, is the investment adviser to the Series Trust. Sun Capital Advisers, Inc. is the investment adviser to Sun Capital Advisers Trust. Both are affiliates of the Sponsor and charge management fees at an effective annual rate ranging from .58% to 1.82% and 1.25% of the funds net assets, respectively.

(3) Contract Charges and Related Party Transactions - continued

The Sponsor does not deduct a sales charge from purchase payments. However, in the case of Regatta Platinum and Regatta Flex 4 a withdrawal charge (contingent deferred sales charge) of up to 6% of certain amounts withdrawn, when applicable, may be deducted to cover certain expenses relating to the sale of the contracts and certificates. In the case of Regatta Choice a withdrawal charge of up to 7% and in the case of Regatta, Regatta Gold, Regatta Extra, Regatta Flex II, Regatta Choice II, Regatta Masters Extra, Regatta Masters Choice, and Regatta Masters Flex contracts, a withdrawal charge of up to 8% of certain amounts withdrawn, when applicable, may be deducted to cover certain expenses relating to the sale of the contracts and certificates. In the case of Regatta Classic contracts, a withdrawal charge of 1% is applied to purchase payments withdrawn which have been credited to a participant's account for less than one year.

For assuming the risk that withdrawal charges may be insufficient to compensate it for the costs of distributing the contracts, the Sponsor makes a deduction from the Variable Account at the end of each valuation period for the first seven account years at an effective annual rate of 0.15% of the net assets attributable to Regatta, Regatta Gold, Regatta Platinum, Regatta Masters Extra and Regatta Masters Choice and an effective annual rate of 0.20% of the net assets attributable to Regatta Masters Access and Regatta Masters Flex contracts.

As reimbursement for administrative expenses attributable to Regatta Gold, Regatta Classic, Regatta Platinum, Regatta Extra, Regatta Access, Regatta Choice, Regatta Flex 4, Regatta Flex II, Regatta Choice II, Regatta Masters Extra, Regatta Masters Choice, Regatta Masters Access and Regatta Masters Flex contracts, which exceed the revenues received from the Account Fees described above derived from such contracts, the Sponsor makes a deduction from the Variable Account at the end of each valuation period at an effective annual rate of 0.15% of the net assets attributable to such contracts.

For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Sponsor received the following amounts related to the above mentioned contract and surrender charges. These charges are reflected in the "Withdrawals, surrenders, annuitizations and contract charges" line of the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

* Represents the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the subaccount from the underlying mutual fund, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the average net assets. The ratio excludes those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that result in direct reductions in the unit values. The recognition of investment income by the subaccount is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the subaccounts invest.

** Ratio represents the annualized contract expenses of the separate account. The ratio includes only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying fund are excluded.

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

(a) For the period August 27, 2001 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2001.

(b) For the period August 5, 2002 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2002.

(c) For the period May 1, 2002 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2002.

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

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities held at December 31, 2002 by correspondence with the custodian. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believed that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Sub-Accounts as of December 31, 2002, the results of their operations for the year then ended and the changes in their net assets for the two years in the period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(2) Significant Accounting Policies

General

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Sponsor's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Valuations

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

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

Federal Income Tax Status

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

(3) Contract Charges and Related Party Transactions

A mortality and expense risk charge based on the value of the Sub-Accounts included in the Variable Account is deducted from the Variable Account at the end of each valuation period for the mortality and expense risks assumed by the Sponsor. The deductions are transferred periodically to the Sponsor. Currently, the deduction is at an effective annual rate as follows:

Level 1

Level 2

Level 3

(3) Contract Charges and Related Party Transactions - continued

Each year on the account anniversary, an account administration fee (''Account Fee'') equal to the lesser of $30 in the case of Futurity contracts, $35 in the case of Futurity II contracts, Futurity Accolade contracts and Futurity III contracts and $50 in the case of Futurity Focus contracts, Futurity Focus II contracts, Futurity Select Four contracts, Futurity Select Four Plus contracts, Futurity Select Seven contracts, Futurity Select Freedom contracts and Futurity Select Incentive contracts or 2% of the participant's account value in Account Years one through five (thereafter, the Account Fee may be changed annually, but it may not exceed the lesser of $50 or 2% of the participant's account value) is deducted from the participant's account to reimburse the Sponsor for certain administrative expenses. After the annuity commencement date, the Account Fee will be deducted pro rata from each variable annuity payment made during the year. As reimbursement for administrative expenses attributable to contracts which exceed the revenues received from the Account Fees, the Sponsor makes a deduction from the Variable Account at the end of each valuation period at an effective annual rate of 0.15% of the net assets attributable to such Contracts.

For assuming the risk that withdrawal charges may be insufficient to compensate it for the costs of distributing the contracts, the Sponsor makes a deduction from the Variable Account at the end of each valuation period at an effective annual rate of 0.15% of the net assets attributable to Futurity Select Seven and Futurity Select Incentive and an effective annual rate of 0.20% of the net assets attributable to Futurity Select Four Plus and Futurity Select Freedom contracts.

Massachusetts Financial Services Company is the investment adviser to the MFS/Sun Life Series Trust. Sun Capital Advisers Inc. is the investment adviser to Sun Capital Advisers Trust. Both are affiliates of the Sponsor and charge management fees at an effective annual rate ranging from .60% to 1.82% and .65% to 1.25% of the Fund's net assets, respectively.

The Sponsor does not deduct a sales charge from purchase payments. However, a withdrawal charge (contingent deferred sales charge) of up to 6% of certain amounts withdrawn when applicable, may be deducted to cover certain expenses relating to the sale of Futurity Select Four and Futurity II contracts; 7% for Futurity III contracts and 8% for Futurity, Futurity Focus, Futurity Accolade, Futurity Select Four Plus, Futurity Select Seven and Futurity Select Incentive contracts, including commissions paid to sales personnel, the costs of preparation of sales literature, and other promotional costs and acquisition expenses.

For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Sponsor received the following amount related to the above mentioned contract and surrender charges. These charges are reflected in the Withdrawals, surrenders and annuitizations line of the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

* Represents the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, receive by the sub-account from the underlying mutual fund, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the average net assets. The ratio excludes those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that result in direct reductions in the unit values. The recognition of investment income by the sub-account is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the sub-accounts invest.

** Ratio represents the annualized contract expenses of the separate account. The ratio includes only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expense of the underlying fund are excluded.

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

(a) For the period May 1, 2001 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2001.

(b) For the period August 27, 2001 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2001.

(c) For the period May 1, 2002 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2002. Investment Income Ratio and Expense Ratio have been annualized.

(d) For the period September 30, 2002 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2002. Investment Income Ratio and Expense Ratio have been annualized.

(e) For the period April 29, 2002 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2002. Investment Income Ratio and Expense Ratio have been annualized.

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) pursuant to the certificate of incorporation, by-laws, or otherwise, Sun Life (U.S.) has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Sun Life (U.S.) of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, controlling person of Sun Life (U.S.) in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, Sun Life (U.S.) will submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by them is against public policy as expressed in the Act, unless in the opinion of their counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
