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

<R>

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 provides no additional tax-deferal benefits to Contracts purchased under Qualified Retirement Plans. 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.

</R>

The Accumulation Phase

<R>

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 at any time during the Accumulation Phase. Currently, there is no minimum amount required for additional Purchase Payments. However, we reserve the right to limit additional Purchase Payments of at least $1,000. We will not normally 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. In addition, we will credit your Contract with interest, which we refer to as "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.

</R>

Variable Account Options: The Funds

<R>

You can allocate your Purchase Payments among Sub-Accounts, each of which invests in a separate securities portfolio 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.

</R>

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.

Fees and Expenses

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.

<R>

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more than a specified amount of money out of your Contract, we assess a withdrawal charge against each Purchase Payment withdrawn.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

</R>

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.

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.

The Income Phase: Annuity Provisions

<R>

If you want to receive regular income from your annuity, you can select one of several Annuity Options. 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. Subject to the maximum Annuity Commencement Date, you decide when your Income Phase will begin but, once it begins, you cannot change your choice of annuity payment options.

</R>

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

<R>

Your Contract contains a "free look" provision. If you can cancel your Contract within 10 days after receiving it (or later if allowed by your state), 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.

</R>

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.

The expenses shown are for the year ended December 31, 2004, 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 April 30, 2006. 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 reimbursement arrangements are taken into consideration, fall within the range. Each fee reduction and/or expense reimbursement arrangement is described in the relevant Fund's prospectus.

</R>

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, and are based on a sample Contract with the maximum possible fees.

<R>

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. For purpose of converting the annual contract fee to a percentage, the Example assumes an average Contract size of $35,000. 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

         
 

$1,085

$1,740

$2,421

$3,962

(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

         
 

$365

$1,110

$1,881

$3,962

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.

</R>

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.

<R>

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 Account Value will change in response to changes in the return available from the different types of investments you select under your Contract. 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." A qualified retirement plan generally provides tax deferral regardless of whether the plan invests in an annuity contract. A decision to purchase an annuity contract should not be based on the assumption that the purchase of an annuity contract is necessary to obtain tax-deferral benefits under a qualified retirement plan.

</R>

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, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, 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.

<R>

We are ultimately controlled by Sun Life Financial Inc. ("Sun Life Financial"). Sun Life Financial, a corporation organized in Canada, is a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with common shares listed on the Toronto, New York, and Philippine stock exchanges.

</R>

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.

<R>

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 by you to a Sub-Account will be used to purchase Fund shares 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, optional benefit riders, and any applicable taxes. The Variable Account will be fully invested in Fund shares at all times.

</R>

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.

<R>

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 a number of investment options (each, a "Fund"), each corresponding to one of the portfolios. Additional portfolios may be added to the Series Fund which may or may not be available for investment by the Variable Account.

Each Fund pays fees to MFS, as its investment adviser, 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 is solely that of MFS. We undertake no obligation in this regard.

</R>

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.

<R>

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 Series Fund prospectus. You should read the Series Fund prospectus carefully before investing. The statement of additional information of the Series Fund is available by calling (800) 752-7215.

</R>

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

<R>

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. In such event, renewals will be made into the Money Market Sub-Account. 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.

</R>

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

<R>

The amount of Purchase Payments may vary; however, we will not accept an initial Purchase Payment of less than $10,000, and, although there is currently no minimum amount for additional Purchase Payments, we reserve the right to limit each additional Purchase Payment to at least $1,000. 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 we reserve the right to limit any allocation to a Guarantee Period to at least $1,000.</R>

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

<R>

We will credit your Contract with interest, which we refer to as "Purchase Payment Interest", at the rate you selected when you applied for the Contract. Currently, we offer 2 interest rate options:

</R>

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.

<R>

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 asset-based charge for optional benefit riders. See "Contract Charges."

</R>

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

<R>

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. We reserve the right to limit each new allocation to a Guarantee Period to at least $1,000.

</R>

     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.")

<R>

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 transfer your Guarantee Amount into the Money Market Sub-Account.

These automatic transfers of Fixed Account Value into the Money Market Sub-Account will not count as a transfer for purposes of the transfer restrictions described under "Transfer Privilege."

</R>

     Early Withdrawals

<R>

If you withdraw, transfer, or annuitize an allocation from 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.

</R>

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:

<R>

o

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

   

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; 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.

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

</R>

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

<R>

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. The telephone transfer privilege is available automatically during regular business hours before 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, 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.

</R>

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.

<R>

     Short-Term Trading

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

The Company has policies and procedures to discourage frequent transfers of contract value. As described above under "Transfer Privilege," such policies include limiting the number and timing of certain transfers, subject to exceptions described in that section and exceptions designed to protect the interests of individual Contract Owners. The Company also reserves the right to charge a fee for transfers.

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

If we determine that a third party acting on your behalf is engaging (alone or in combination with transfers effected by you directly) in a pattern of short-term trading, we may refuse to process certain transfers requested by such a third party. In particular, we will treat as short-term trading activity and refuse to process any transfer that is requested by an authorized third party within 6 days of a previous transfer (whether the earlier transfer was requested by you or a third party acting on your behalf). We may also impose special restrictions on third parties that engage in reallocations of contract values by limiting the frequency of the transfer, requiring advance notice of the transfer pursuant to in-force service agreements, and reallocating or exchanging 100% of the values in the redeeming sub-accounts.

We will provide you written notification of any restrictions imposed.

In addition, some of the Funds reserve the right to refuse purchase or transfer 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 the request is considered to be part of a short-term trading strategy. Accordingly, the Variable Account may not be in a position to effectuate some transfers with such Funds and, therefore, will be unable to process such transfer requests. We also reserve the right to refuse requests involving transfers to or from the Fixed Account.

We reserve the right to waive short-term trading restrictions, where permitted by law and not adverse to the interests of the relevant underlying Fund and other shareholders, in the following instances:

o

when a new broker of record is designated for the Contract;

   

o

when the Participant changes;

   

o

when control of the Contract passes to the designated beneficiary upon the death of the Participant or Annuitant;

   

o

when necessary in our view to avoid hardship to a Participant; or

   

o

when underlying Funds are dissolved or merged or substituted.

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

</R>

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."

<R>

Other Programs

You may participate in any of the following optional programs free of charge. Transfers made pursuant to the provisions of the following optional programs will not be charged a transfer fee, nor will such transfers count as one of the 12 free transfers per year allowed under the section entitled "Transfer Privilege."

</R>

     Dollar-Cost Averaging

<R>

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 amount to a designated Sub-Account or to a Guarantee Period we make available in connection with the program. (We reserve the right to limit minimum investments to at least $1,000.) 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).

</R>

<R>

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 may be subject to the minimum.

</R>

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.

<R>

     Systematic Withdrawal and Interest Out Programs

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. 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 may be subject to surrender charges and a Market Value Adjustment. They may also be included as income and subject to a 10% federal tax penalty. You should consult a qualified tax professional before choosing these options. We reserve the right to limit the election of either of these programs to Contracts with a minimum Account Value of $10,000.

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 Future Program

Under the Secured Future 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 or transfers), 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, other than a Systematic 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.

</R>

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

<R>

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, if applicable, 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.

</R>

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

     Partial Withdrawals

<R>

Unless you specify otherwise, when you request a partial withdrawal, we will deduct 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.

Partial withdrawals may affect the death benefit amount. In calculating the amount payable under the death benefit, we may reduce the benefit amount to an amount equal to the benefit amount payable immediately before withdrawal multiplied by the ratio of the Account Value immediately after the withdrawal to the Account Value immediately before the withdrawal. (See "Calculating the Death Benefit.")

</R>

<R>

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 reserve the right to 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.

</R>

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

<R>

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. The Withdrawal Charge scale is as follows:

</R>

Number of

 

Account Years

 

Payment Has Been

Withdrawal

in Your Account

Charge

0-1

8%

1-2

8%

2-3

7%

3-4

7%

4-5

6%

5-6

5%

6-7

4%

7+

0%

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:

<R>

o

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

   

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, and

   

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 withdrawn from a Non-Qualified Contract as part of our non-qualified stretch program, 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 Value 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 the Accumulation 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 qualified tax professional to find out if your state imposes a premium tax and the amount of any tax.

</R>

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

<R>

If you die during the Accumulation Phase, we will pay a death benefit to the designated Beneficiary(ies), 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.

</R>

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:

<R>

(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.

</R>

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.

<R>

If your Contract is a Qualified Contract, required minimum distributions under the Internal Revenue Code may affect the value of this optional Benefit to you. Please refer to "Impact of Optional Death Benefit Riders" under "TAX CONSIDERATIONS" for more information regarding tax issues that you should consider before electing this optional Benefit.

     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 and partial withdrawals made between that Account Anniversary and the Death Benefit Date.

</R>

     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."

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.

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.

<R>

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

o

We must receive your notice, in good order, 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.

</R>

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

<R>

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 Participant 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 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.

</R>

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.

<R>

Change of ownership may affect the availability of optional death benefit riders or the expenses incurred with the optional death benefit riders.

</R>

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

<R>

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, or longer if allowed by your state, after it was delivered to you. State law may also allow you to return the Contract to your sales representative. 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:

</R>

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.

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.

Any amounts held under a Non-Qualified Contract that are assigned or pledged as collateral for a loan will also be treated as if withdrawn from the Contract. In addition, upon the transfer of a Non-Qualified Contract by gift (other than to the Owner's spouse), the Owner must treat an amount equal to the Account Value minus the total amount paid for the Contract as income.

     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 a distribution for a Qualified Contract used in connection with a qualified pension plan, from a tax-sheltered annuity or an individual retirement annuity "IRA" and roll over some or all that distribution to another eligible plan, following the rules set out in the Code and IRS regulations, the portion of such distribution that is rolled over will not be includible in your income. An eligible rollover distribution from a qualified plan or tax-sheltered annuity 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. Rollovers of IRA distributions are not subject to the 20% mandatory withholding requirement.

An eligible rollover distribution from a qualified plan or tax-sheltered annuity is any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of an employee, except that the term does not include:

<R>

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.

</R>

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 an IRA), 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) an IRA, 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 the 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.

<R>

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

Revenue Ruling 2003-91 states that the determination of whether the owner of a variable contract possesses sufficient incidents of ownership over the assets underlying the variable contract so as to be deemed the owner of those assets for federal income tax purposes will depend on all the facts and circumstances. We do not believe that the differences between the Contract and the contracts described in Revenue Ruling 2003-91 should prevent the holding in Revenue Ruling 2003-91 from applying. Nevertheless, you should consult with a qualified tax professional on the potential impact of the investor control rules of the IRS as they relate to the investment decisions and activities you may undertake with respect to the Contract. In addition, the IRS and/or the Treasury Department may issue new rulings, interpretations or regulations on this subject in the future. Accordingly, we therefore reserve the right to modify the Contracts as necessary to attempt to prevent you from being considered the owner, for tax purposes, of the underlying assets. We also reserve the right to notify you if we determine that it is no longer practicable to maintain the Contract in a manner that was designed to prevent you from being considered the owner of the assets of the Separate Account. You bear the risk that you may be treated as the owner of Separate Account assets and taxed accordingly.

</R>

     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, has a severance from employment 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 (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.

<R>

     Individual Retirement Arrangements

Sections 219 and 408 of the Code permit eligible individuals to contribute to a so-called "traditional" individual retirement program, including Individual Retirement Accounts and Annuities, Simplified Employee Pension Plans, 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. The Internal Revenue Service imposes special information requirements with respect to IRAsand we will provide purchasers of the Contracts as Individual Retirement Annuities with any necessary information. You will have the right to revoke a Contract issued as an Individual Retirement Annuity under certain circumstances, as described in the section of this Prospectus entitled "Right to Return." If your Contract is issued in connection with an Individual Retirement Account, we have no information about the Account and you should contact the Account's trustee or custodian.

     Roth Individual Retirement Arrangements

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 imposes special information requirements with respect to Roth IRAsand we will provide the necessary information for Contracts issued as Roth Individual Retirement Annuities. If your Contract is issued in connection with a Roth Individual Retirement Account, we have no information about the Account and you should contact the Account's trustee or custodian.

     Impact of Optional Death Benefit Riders

Qualified Contracts. If your Contract is a traditional IRA annuity or a 403(b) TSA annuity, it is subject to certain required minimum distribution (RMD) requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code and IRS regulations. Under the RMD rules, distributions must begin no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the year in which you attain age 70 1/2 or, for non-IRAs, the date of retirement instead of age 70 1/2 if it is later. The RMD amount for a distribution calendar year is generally calculated by dividing the account balance as of 12/31 of the prior calendar year by the applicable distribution factor set forth in a Uniform Lifetime Table in the IRS regulations. For Contracts issued in connection with traditional Individual Retirement Accounts, you should contact the Account's trustee or custodian about RMD requirements since we only provide the trustee or custodian with the Contract's value (including any actuarial present value of additional benefits discussed below) so that it can be used in the Account's RMD calculations.

Effective with the 2006 distribution calendar year, the actuarial present value of any additional benefits that are provided under your Contract (such as optional death benefits) will be added to the Contract's account balance in order to calculate the RMD amount. The actuarial present value will also be determined as of 12/31 of the prior calendar year. There are two exceptions to the requirement that the actuarial present value of an additional benefit must be added to the account balance for RMD calculation purposes. First, if the only additional benefit provided under a Contract is a return of premium death benefit (i.e., a benefit under which the final payment does not exceed the amount of purchase payments made less prior distributions), then the additional benefit is disregarded and the RMD calculation uses only the 12/31 account balance. Second, if (1) the Contract provides only for additional benefits that are each reduced on a proportional basis in the event of distributions, with or without a return of premium death benefit that is not reduced in amount proportionately in the event of distributions and (2) the actuarial present value of all the Contract's additional benefits is no more than 20% of the 12/31 account value, then the additional benefits are disregarded and the RMD calculation uses only the 12/31 account balance. When we notify you of the RMD amount for a distribution calendar year, we will inform you if the calculation included the actuarial present value of additional benefits. Because of the above requirements, your initial or renewal election of an optional rider could cause your RMD amount to be higher than it would be without such an election.

You may take an RMD amount calculated for a particular IRA annuity from that annuity or from another IRA account or IRA annuity of yours. Similarly, you may take an RMD amount calculated for a particular TSA annuity from that annuity or from another TSA account or TSA annuity of yours. If your Qualified Contract is an asset of a qualified retirement plan, the qualified plan is subject to the RMD requirements and the Contract, as an asset of the qualified plan, may need to be used as a source of funds for the RMDs.

Non-Qualified Contracts. We are required to make a determination as to the taxability of any withdrawal you make in order to be able to annually report to the IRS and you information about your withdrawal. Under the Internal Revenue Code, any withdrawal from a Non-Qualified Contract is taxable to the extent the annuity's cash value (determined without regard to surrender charges) exceeds the investment in the contract. There is no definition of "cash value" in the Code and, for tax reporting purposes, we are currently treating it as the Account Value of the Contract. However, there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree that this is the correct cash value. The IRS could, for example, determine that the cash value is the Account Value plus an additional amount representing the value of an optional rider. If this were to occur, election of an optional rider could cause any withdrawal, including a withdrawal under the WB Plan of the Secured Returns 2 Benefit, to have a higher proportion of the withdrawal derived from taxable investment earnings. Prior to electing to participate in an optional rider (or, if applicable, prior to renewing your participation in the Secured Returns 2 Benefit), you should consult with a qualified tax professional as to the meaning of "cash value."

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.

<R>

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. We currently offer the Contract in Puerto Rico in connection with Individual Retirement Arrangements that qualify under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code but do not qualify under the Puerto Rico 1994 Code. See the applicable text of this Prospectus under the heading "Federal Tax Status" dealing with such Arrangements and their RMD requirements.. We may make Contracts available for use with other retirement plans that similarly qualify under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code but do not qualify under the Puerto Rico 1994 Code.

As a result of IRS Revenue Ruling 2004-75, as amplified by Revenue Ruling 2004-97, we will treat Contract distributions and withdrawals occurring on or after January 1, 2005 as U.S.-source income that is subject to U.S. income tax withholding and reporting. Under "TAX CONSIDERATIONS", see "Pre-Distribution Taxation of Contracts", "Distributions and Withdrawals from Non-Qualified Contracts", "Withholding" and "Non-Qualified Contracts". You should consult a qualified tax professional for advice regarding the effect of Revenue Ruling 2004-75 on your U.S. and Puerto Rico income tax situation.

</R>

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

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

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

The amount and timing of commissions the Company may pay to Selling Broker-Dealers may vary depending on the selling agreement but is not expected to be more than 7.00% of Purchase Payments, and 1.25% annually of the Participant's Account Value. The Company may pay or allow other promotional incentives or payments in the form of cash or other compensation to the extent permitted by NASD rules and other applicable laws and regulations.

The Company also pays compensation to wholesaling broker-dealers, including payments to affiliates of the Company, in return for wholesaling services such as providing marketing and sales support and product training to the Selling Agents of the Selling Broker-Dealers. These payments may be based on a percentage of Purchase Payments and/or a percentage of Contract Value.

In addition to the compensation described above, the Company may make additional cash payments or reimbursements to Selling Broker-Dealers in recognition of their marketing and distribution, transaction processing and/or administrative services support. These payments are not offered to all Selling Broker-Dealers, and the terms of any particular agreement governing the payments may vary among Selling Broker-Dealers depending on, among other things, the level and type of marketing and distribution support provided. Marketing and distribution support services may include, among other services, placement of the Company's products on the Selling Broker-Dealers' preferred or recommended list, access to the Selling Broker-Dealers' registered representatives for purposes of promoting sales of the Company's products, assistance in training and education of the Selling Agents, and opportunities for the Company to participate in sales conferences and educational seminars. The payments or reimbursements may be calculated as a percentage of the particular Selling Broker-Dealer's actual or expected aggregate sales of our variable contracts (including the Contract) or assets held within those contracts (in most cases not to exceed 0.25% of aggregate sales and 0.10% of assets attributable to the Selling-Broker-Dealer and/or may be a fixed dollar amount.

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

<R>

Commissions may be waived or reduced in connection with certain transactions described in this Prospectus under the heading "Waivers; Reduced Charges; Credits; Special Guaranteed Interest Rates." During 2002, 2003, and 2004, approximately $809,356, $92,878, and $28,188 respectively, in commissions were paid to but not retained by Clarendon in connection with the distribution of the Contracts.

</R>

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 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.

<R>

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, and Standard and Poor's Insurance Rating Services. 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. The Standard and Poor's rating measures the ability of an insurance company to meet its obligations under insurance policies it issues. This rating does 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.

</R>

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

<R>

The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 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.

</R>

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 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.

lthough 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.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements of the Company which are included in the SAI should be considered only as bearing on the ability of the Company to meet its obligations with respect to amounts allocated to the Fixed Account and with respect to the death benefit and the Company's assumption of the mortality and expense risks. They should not be considered as bearing on the investment performance of the Fund shares held in the Sub-Accounts of 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:

<R>

The Basic Death Benefit is the greatest of:

   

       Account Value

=

$ 80,000.00

       Cash Surrender Value*

=

$ 74,365.00

       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*

=

$55,165.00

       Adjusted Purchase Payments**

=

$75,000.00

The Basic Death Benefit would therefore be:

 

$75,000.00

</R>

*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

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:

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.

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.

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, 2003.

* The Life of Fund calculation for any Fund under a year old is not annualized.

 

* The Life of Fund calculation for any Fund under a year old is not annualized.

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:

A.M. BEST'S RATING SYSTEM is designed to evaluate the various factors affecting the overall performance of an insurance company in order to provide an opinion as to an insurance company's relative financial strength and ability to meet its contractual obligations.

MOODY'S Investors Services, Inc.'s insurance claims-paying rating is a system of rating an insurance company's financial strength, market leadership, and ability to meet financial obligations. The purpose of Moody's ratings is to provide investors with a simple system of gradation by which the relative quality of insurance companies may be noted.

STANDARD & POOR'S INDEX - broad-based measurement of changes in stock-market conditions based on the average performance of 500 widely held common stocks; commonly known as the Standard & Poor's 500 (S&P 500). The selection of stocks, their relative weightings to reflect differences in the number of outstanding shares, and publication of the index itself are services of Standard & Poor's Corporation, a financial advisory, securities rating, and publishing firm. The index tracks 400 industrial company stocks, 20 transportation stocks, 40 financial company stocks, and 40 public utilities.

NASDAQ-OTC Price Index - this index is based on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (NASDAQ) and represents all domestic over-the-counter stocks except those traded on exchanges and those having only one market maker, a total of some 3,500 stocks.

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.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

GENERAL

Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) (the "Company") is a stock life insurance company incorporated under the laws of Delaware. Its Executive Office mailing address is One Sun Life Executive Park, Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts 02481, Telephone (781) 237-6030. The Company is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada - U.S. Operations Holdings, Inc. ("SLC - U.S. Ops Holdings") and is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life Financial Inc. ("SLF"), a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. SLF and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as "Sun Life Financial."

The Company and its subsidiaries are engaged in the sale of individual and group variable life insurance, individual and group fixed and variable annuities, group pension contracts, guaranteed investment contracts ("GICS"), group life, group disability, and group stop loss insurance. These products are distributed through individual insurance agents, financial planners, insurance brokers and broker-dealers to both the tax qualified and non-tax-qualified markets. The Company is authorized to transact business in 49 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. In addition, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York ("SLNY"), is authorized to transact business in the State of New York.

As of December 31, 2004, SLC - U.S. Ops Holdings, was a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada ("SLOC"), 150 King Street West, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. SLOC is a life insurance company incorporated in 1865. As of December 31, 2004, SLOC transacted business directly or through its subsidiaries and joint ventures in all of the Canadian provinces and territories, all of the United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Great Britain, Ireland, Hong Kong, Bermuda, Barbados, Philippines, Indonesia, China and India. SLOC is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of SLF.

On January 4, 2005, a reorganization was completed under which most of SLOC's asset management businesses in Canada and the United States were transferred to Sun Life Financial Corp., a newly incorporated wholly-owned subsidiary of SLF. After this reorganization, the operations remaining in SLOC consist primarily of Sun Life Financial's life, health and annuities businesses in Canada, most of its life and health businesses in the United States, and all of its operations in the United Kingdom and Asia. SLOC continues to be a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of SLF. The Company and its subsidiaries are now indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Sun Life Financial Corp., and continue to be indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of SLF.

On December 31, 2004, Sun Capital Advisers, Inc. ("SCA"), a registered investment adviser, was distributed in the form of a dividend to the Company's parent and became a consolidated subsidiary of the SLC - U.S. Ops Holdings. As a result of this transaction, SCA is no longer the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary. As of December 31, 2004, SCA's total assets were $8.1 million. SCA's net income for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, was $1.9 million, $0.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

On June 30, 2004, the Company sold its interest in one of its consolidated variable interest entities ("VIEs") and recognized a gain of $9.7 million. The Company received net cash proceeds of $39.7 million and reduced consolidated assets and liabilities by $51.6 million and $21.9 million, respectively. The Company's net income related to this VIE for the year ended December 31, 2004, excluding the gain on the sale, was $7.1 million.

On December 31, 2003, Keyport Life Insurance Company ("Keyport") was merged with and into the Company with the Company as the surviving entity. Prior to the merger, the Company and Keyport were both indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of SLC - U.S. Ops Holdings. The merger had no effect on the existing rights and benefits of policyholders and contractholders from either company. The Company is licensed and authorized to write all business that was previously written by the Keyport.

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

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2004, the Company owned all of the outstanding shares of SLNY, Sun Benefit Services Company, Inc. ("SBSC"), Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) SPE 97-I, Inc. ("SPE 97-I"), Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Holdings General Partner LLC ("the General Partner"), Clarendon Insurance Agency, Inc. ("Clarendon"), SLF Private Placement Investment Company I, LLC, Sun Parkaire Landing LLC, 7101 France Avenue Manager LLC and Independence Life and Annuity Company ("Independence Life").

The General Partner is the sole general partner in Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Limited Partnership I ("the Partnership") and as a result, the Partnership is consolidated with the results of the Company. In addition, the Company consolidates certain investments in VIEs. The consolidation of the VIEs requires the Company to report the minority interest relating to the equity ownership not controlled by the Company.

SLNY is engaged in the sale of individual fixed and variable annuity contracts, variable universal life insurance, and group life, group disability insurance and stop loss contracts in its state of domicile, New York. SBSC is an inactive subsidiary. 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. The Partnership was established to purchase subordinated debentures issued by the Company's parent, SLC U.S. Holdings, and to issue partnership capital securities to an affiliated business trust, Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Capital Trust I, ("Capital Trust I"). Clarendon is a registered broker-dealer that acts as the general distributor of certain annuity and life insurance contracts issued by the Company and its affiliates. Independence Life is a life insurance company that sold variable and whole life insurance products.

All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

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

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

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into transactions involving various types of financial instruments, including cash equivalents, fixed maturity investments, mortgage loans, equity securities, off balance sheet financial instruments, debt, loan commitments and financial guarantees. These instruments involve credit risk and also may be subject to risk of loss due to interest rate fluctuation. The Company evaluates and monitors each financial instrument individually and, when appropriate, obtains collateral or other security to minimize losses.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents primarily include cash, commercial paper, money market investments and short-term bank participations. All such investments have maturities of three months or less when purchased and are considered cash equivalents for purposes of reporting cash flows.

The consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect a reclassification of bank overdrafts of $44.7 million and $190.0 million as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

INVESTMENTS

The Company accounts for its investments in accordance with SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." At the time of purchase, fixed maturity securities are classified based on intent as either held-to-maturity, trading or available-for-sale. In order for the security to be classified as held-to-maturity, the Company must have positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Securities held-to-maturity are stated at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading. Trading securities are carried at aggregate fair value with changes in unrealized gains or losses reported as a component of net investment income. Securities that do not meet the held-to-maturity or trading criterion are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with the unrealized gains or losses reported in other comprehensive income.

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

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

Mortgage loans are stated at unpaid principal balances, net of provisions for estimated losses. Mortgage loans acquired at a premium or discount are carried at amortized values net of provisions for estimated losses. Mortgage loans, which include primarily commercial first mortgages, are diversified by property type and geographic area throughout the United States. Mortgage loans are collateralized by the related properties and generally are no more than 75% of the properties' value at the time that the original loan is made.

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

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

INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)

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

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

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

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

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

Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Investments are placed in a non-accrual status when management believes that the borrower's financial condition, after giving consideration to economic and business conditions and collection efforts, is such that collection of principal and interest is doubtful. When an investment is placed in non-accrual status, all interest previously accrued is reversed against current period interest income. Interest accruals are resumed on such investments only when they are brought fully current with respect to principal and interest, have performed on a sustained basis for a reasonable period of time, and when, in the judgment of management, the investments are estimated to be fully collectible as to both principal and interest.

DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS

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

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

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

DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS (CONTINUED)

DAC is also adjusted for amounts relating to the recognition of unrealized investment gains and losses. This adjustment, net of tax, is included with the change in net unrealized investment gains or losses that is credited or charged directly to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). DAC was reduced by $172.9 million and $132.3 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, to reflect the unrealized gains and losses.

VALUE OF BUSINESS ACQUIRED

Value of business acquired ("VOBA") represents the actuarially-determined present value of projected future gross profits from policies in force at the date of their acquisition. This amount is amortized in proportion to the projected emergence of profits.

VOBA is also adjusted for amounts relating to the recognition of unrealized investment gains and losses. This adjustment, net of tax, is included with the change in net unrealized investment gains or losses that is credited or charged directly to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). VOBA was decreased by $48.2 million and $54.8 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, to account for the unrealized investment gains and losses.

GOODWILL

Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price paid and the fair value of the net assets acquired in connection with the acquisition of Keyport. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis. The Company completed the required impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets during the second quarter of 2004 and concluded that these assets were not impaired.

In 2004, the Company finalized tax periods that predated the acquisition of Keyport. In accordance with the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 93-7, "Uncertainties Related to Income Taxes in a Purchase Business Combinations," adjustments upon resolution of income tax uncertainties that predate or result from a purchase business combination should be recorded as an increase or decrease to goodwill regardless of the time that has elapsed since the acquisition date. The Company reduced goodwill by $8.7 million in 2004 to record the difference between the estimated tax liability at the acquisition date and the final tax liability for closed tax years that predated the acquisition.

OTHER ASSETS

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

Intangible assets acquired primarily consist of state insurance licenses ($5.1 million) that are not subject to amortization and approximately $2.0 million of intangible assets relate to product rights that have a weighted-average useful life of 7 years.

POLICY LIABILITIES AND ACCRUALS

Contractholder deposit funds consist of policy values that accrue to the holders of universal life-type contracts and investment-related products such as deferred annuities, single premium whole life policies and GICS. The liabilities consist of deposits received plus interest credited, less accumulated policyholder charges, assessments and withdrawals. The liability is before the deduction of any applicable surrender charges.

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

POLICY LIABILITIES AND ACCRUALS (CONTINUED)

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

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

REVENUE AND EXPENSES

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

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

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

INCOME TAXES

For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company will participate in the consolidated federal income tax return with an affiliate, SLC - US Ops Holdings. Deferred income taxes are generally recognized when assets and liabilities have different values for financial statement and tax reporting purposes, and for other temporary taxable and deductible differences as defined by SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." These differences primarily result from policy reserves, policy acquisition expenses and unrealized gains or losses on investments. For the 2003 tax year, as in prior years, SLUS participated in the consolidated federal income tax return with SLC - U.S. Ops Holdings and other affiliates. For 2003 and 2002, Keyport filed a separate consolidated return with an affiliate, Independence Life.

SEPARATE ACCOUNTS

The Company has established separate accounts applicable to various classes of contracts providing for variable benefits. Separate account assets are subject to general account claims only to the extent the value of such assets exceeds the separate account liabilities. Contracts for which funds are invested in separate accounts include variable life insurance and individual and group qualified and non-qualified variable annuity contracts. Investment income and changes in mutual fund asset values are allocated to policyholders and therefore do not affect the operating results of the Company. Assets held in the separate accounts are carried at fair value and the investment risk of such securities is retained by the contractholder. The Company earns separate account fees for providing administrative services and bearing the mortality risks related to these contracts.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain amounts in the prior years' financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2004 presentation.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

On January 1, 2004, the Company adopted the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' (the "AICPA") Statement of Position 03-1, "Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Nontraditional Long-Duration Contracts and for Separate Accounts" ("SOP 03-1"). The major provisions of SOP 03-1 that affect the Company require:

o

Establishment of reserves primarily related to death benefit and income benefit guarantees provided under variable annuity contracts;

o

Deferral of sales inducements that meet certain criteria, and amortization using the same method used for DAC; and

o

Reporting and measuring the Company's interest in its separate accounts as investments.

Effect of Adoption

The cumulative effect, reported after tax and net of related effects on DAC, upon adoption of SOP 03-1 at January 1, 2004, decreased net income and stockholder's equity by $8.9 million and reduced accumulated other comprehensive income by $2.1 million. The decrease in net income was comprised of an increase in future contract and policy benefits (primarily for variable annuity contracts) of $46.7 million, pretax, an increase in DAC of $29.5 million, pretax, and the recognition of the unrealized gain on investments in separate accounts of $3.5 million, pretax.

In October 2004, the AICPA issued a technical bulletin on financial accounting and reporting issues related to SOP 03-1. Upon adoption of the guidance in the technical bulletin, the Company restated the amount of the cumulative effect of change in accounting principal in the accompanying financial statements from the amount previously reported in earlier quarters ($0.9 million). The previously reported 2004 quarterly financial information has also been restated in Item 8 of this Form 10-K to reflect the implementation of the technical bulletin provisions.

Liabilities for contract guarantees

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

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

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

The liability for guarantees will be re-evaluated periodically, and adjustments will be made to the liability balance through a charge or credit to policyowner benefits.

Guaranteed minimum accumulation benefits or withdrawal benefits are considered to be derivatives under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," and are recognized at fair value through earnings. The guaranteed minimum accumulation or withdrawal benefit was a $0.6 and $2.8 million receivable at January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2004, respectively.

Interest in Separate Accounts

At December 31, 2003, the Company had $11.7 million representing unconsolidated interests in its own separate accounts. These interests were recorded as separate account assets, with changes in fair value recorded through other comprehensive income. On January 1, 2004, the Company reclassified these interests to investments as a component of other invested assets.

Sales Inducements

The Company currently offers enhanced or bonus crediting rates to policyholders on certain of its annuity products. Through December 31, 2003, the expenses associated with certain of these bonuses were deferred and amortized. Others were expensed as incurred. Effective January 1, 2004, upon adoption of SOP 03-1, the expenses associated with offering a bonus are deferred and amortized over the life of the related contract in a pattern consistent with the amortization of DAC.

Other Accounting Pronouncements

Effective December 31, 2003, the Company adopted the disclosure requirements of EITF Issue No. 03-1, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments." As a result, disclosures are required for unrealized losses on fixed maturity and equity securities accounted for under SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investment in Debt and Equity Securities," that are classified as either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity.

The disclosure requirements include quantitative information regarding the aggregate amount of unrealized losses and the associated fair value of the investments in an unrealized loss position, segregated into time periods for which the investments have been in an unrealized loss position. EITF No. 03-1 also requires certain qualitative disclosures about holdings with unrealized losses in order to provide additional information that the Company considered in concluding that the unrealized losses were not other-than-temporary. For further discussion, see disclosures in Note 4.

On November 29, 2004, the AICPA issued a proposed Statement of Position ("SOP"), "Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs on Internal Replacements." The proposed SOP provides guidance on accounting by insurance companies for DAC on internal replacements other than those specifically described in SFAS No. 97, "Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Long-Duration Contracts and for Realized Gains and Losses from the Sale of Investments." The proposed SOP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company is in the process of evaluating the provisions of the proposed SOP and its impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)

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

The Company does have a greater than or equal to 20% involvement in 10 VIEs at December 31, 2004. The Company is a creditor in 7 trusts, 2 limited liability companies and one special purpose entity that were used to finance commercial mortgages, franchise receivables, auto receivables and equipment used in utility generation. The Company's maximum exposure to loss related to all of these VIEs is the investments' carrying value, which was $62.8 million at December 31, 2004. The notes mature between August 2005 and December 2035. See Note 4 for additional information with respect to leveraged leases which is not included above.

Consolidated VIE's increased total consolidated assets by $64.3 million at December 31, 2004. The liabilities include a $33.5 million note issued in June 2000. The note will mature on June 1, 2012. The interest rate on the note is the three-month LIBOR plus 1.75% for the period from June 23, 2000 to December 1, 2005 and LIBOR for the period from December 1, 2005 to June 1, 2012.

2. MERGERS, ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

On December 31, 2004, SCA, a registered investment adviser and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was distributed in the form of a dividend to the Company's parent and became a consolidated subsidiary of SLC - U.S. Ops Holdings. As a result of this transaction, SCA is no longer the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, SCA's net assets were $8.1 million and $5.1 million, respectively. SCA's net income for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, was $1.9 million, $0.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

On June 30, 2004, the Company sold its interest in one of its consolidated VIEs and recognized a gain of $9.7 million.

3. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

In 2003, the Company sold a $100 million note from MFS, an affiliate, to another affiliate, Sun Life (Hungary) Group Financing Limited Liability Company ("Sun Life (Hungary) LLC"), for approximately $109.1 million. The note was sold at a gain of $9.1 million.

The Company and its subsidiaries have management services agreements with SLOC which provide that SLOC will furnish, as requested, certain services and facilities on a cost-reimbursement basis. Expenses under these agreements amounted to approximately $24.4 million in 2004, $73.3 million in 2003, and $64.4 million in 2002.

The Company has an administrative services agreement with SLC - U.S. Ops Holdings, 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 $22.8 million, $21.3 million and $24.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

The Company leases office space to SLOC under lease agreements with terms expiring in September 2009 and options to extend the terms for each of twelve successive five year terms at fair market value of the fixed rent for the term, which is ending. Rent received by the Company under the leases amounted to approximately $11.8 million, $11.8 million, and $11.7 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Rental income is reported as a component of net investment income.

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

In 2004, the Company declared and paid cash dividends in the amount of $150.0 million and transferred via dividend its ownership of SCA valued at $6.6 million to its parent, SLC - U.S. Ops Holdings. The Company did not make any dividend payments in 2003 or 2002.

On December 31, 2004 and September 24, 2002, the Company received a $60.0 million and a $100.0 million capital contribution, respectively, from its parent, SLC - U.S. Ops Holdings.

In 2004, the Company became a participant in a restricted share unit ("RSU") plan with its indirect parent, SLF. Under the RSU plan, participants are granted units that are equivalent to one common share of SLF stock and have a fair market value of a common share of SLF stock on the date of grant. RSUs earn dividend equivalents in the form of additional RSUs at the same rate as the dividends on common shares of SLF stock. The redemption value is the fair market value of an equal number of common shares of SLF stock. As of December 31, 2004, the Company incurred expenses of $4.1 million.

In 2004, the Company became a participant in a performance share unit ("PSU") plan with its indirect parent, SLF. Under the PSU plan, participants are granted units that are the equivalent to one SLF common share and have a fair market value of a SLF common share on the date of grant. PSUs earn dividend equivalents in the form of additional PSUs at the same rate as the dividends on SLF's common shares. No PSUs will vest or become payable unless SLF meets certain threshold targets with respect to specified performance targets. The plan provides for an enhanced payout if SLF achieves superior levels of performance to motivate participants to achieve a higher return for shareholders. Payments to participants are based on the number of PSUs earned multiplied by the market value of SLF's common shares at the end of a three-year performance period. As of December 31, 2004, the Company incurred expenses of $0.3 million relating to PSUs.

3. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES (CONTINUED)

On July 25, 2002, the Company issued a $380 million promissory note at 5.76% and an $80 million promissory note at 5.71%, both maturing June 30, 2012 to an affiliate, Sun Life (Hungary) LLC. The Company pays interest semi-annually to Sun Life (Hungary) LLC. Total interest paid was $26.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and $11.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The proceeds of the notes were used to purchase fixed rate government and corporate bonds.

Effective January 2002, all United States employees of SLOC became employees of the Company. As a result, the Company has assumed most of the salaries and benefits previously incurred by SLOC in the United States. In accordance with a management service agreement between the Company and SLOC, the Company provides personnel and certain services to SLOC, as requested. Reimbursements under this agreement, which are recorded as a reduction of other operating expenses, were approximately $136.8 million, $152.2 million and $135.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company had $565 million of surplus notes issued to Sun Life Financial (U.S.) Finance, Inc., an affiliate of the Company. The Company expensed $42.6 million for interest on these surplus notes for each of the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

In 2004 and 2003, the Company purchased a total of $140 million in promissory notes from MFS. These promissory notes are included with fixed maturities available-for-sale in the financial statements. The interest rates on these notes range from 2.988% to 3.512% and the terms are from 3-5 years. Interest earned for the periods ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 was $4.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company paid $35.0 million and $14.6 million, respectively, in commission fees to an affiliate, SLFD, formerly known as MFSLF.

During the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company paid $45.1 million, $64.5 million and $79.4 million, respectively, in commission fees to Independence Financial Marketing Group, Inc., an affiliate.

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 stand-alone basis.

4. INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)

As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, 95.7% and 93.7%, respectively, of the Company's fixed maturities were investment grade. Investment grade securities are those that are rated "BBB" or better by nationally recognized rating agencies. During 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company incurred realized losses totaling $32.5 million, $62.8 million and $95.7 million, respectively, for other-than-temporary impairment of value of some of its fixed maturities after determining that not all of the unrealized losses were temporary in nature.

During 2004, 2003 and 2002, $17.3 million, $4.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively, of the losses recorded in prior years were recovered through dispositions and are included in realized gains. The Company has discontinued accruing income on several of its holdings for issuers that are in default. The termination of accrual accounting on these holdings reduced income by $7.0 million, $10.1 million and $2.5 million during 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

The following table provides the fair value and gross unrealized losses of the Company's investments, which were deemed to be temporarily impaired, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in an unrealized loss position, at December 31, 2004:

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

The Company's analysis also assesses each issuer's ability to service its debts in a timely fashion, the length of time the security has been in an unrealized loss position, rating agency actions, and any other key developments. The Company has a Credit Committee that includes members from its investment, finance and actuarial functions. The committee meets and reviews the results of the Company's impairment analysis on a quarterly basis.

Total

$ 1,465,896

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 $54.0 million and $126.8 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

During 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company sold commercial mortgage loans in securitization transactions. The mortgages were primarily sold to qualified special purpose entities that were established for the purpose of purchasing the assets and issuing trust certificates. In these transactions, the Company retained investment tranches, which are considered available-for-sale securities, in addition to servicing rights. The securitizations are structured so that investors have no recourse to the Company's other assets for failure of debtors to pay when due. The value of the Company's retained interests are subject to credit and interest rate risk on the transferred financial assets. The Company recognized pretax gains of $3.0 million, $24.6 million and $4.5 million for its 2004, 2003 and 2002 securitization transactions, respectively.

Key economic assumptions used in measuring the retained interests at the date of securitization resulting from securitizations completed during the year ended December 31, 2004 were as follows:

The outstanding principal amount of the securitized commercial mortgage loans was $234.6 million at December 31, 2004, none of which were 60 days or more past due. There were no net credit losses incurred relating to the securitized commercial mortgage loans at the date of securitization through December 31, 2004.

Securities Lending

The Company is engaged in certain securities lending transactions, which require the borrower to provide collateral, primarily consisting of cash and government securities, on a daily basis, in amounts in excess of 100% of the fair value of the applicable securities loaned. We maintain effective control over all loaned securities and, therefore, continue to report such securities as fixed maturities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Cash collateral received on securities lending transactions is reflected in other investing assets with an offsetting liability recognized in other liabilities for the obligation to return the collateral. Non-cash collateral, such as a security received by the Company, is not reflected in our assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as we have not repledged or sold the collateral. The fair value of collateral held and included in other invested assets is $735.7 million at December 31, 2004.

Leveraged Leases

The Company is a lessor in a leverage lease agreement entered into on October 21, 1994, under which equipment having an estimated economic life of 25-40 years was originally leased for a term of 9.78 years. During 2001, the lease term was extended until 2010. The Company's equity investment in this VIE represented 22.9% of the purchase price of the equipment. The balance of the purchase price was furnished by third-party long-term debt financing, collateralized by the equipment, and is non-recourse to the Company. At the end of the lease term, the master lessee may exercise a fixed price purchase option to purchase the equipment. The leveraged lease is included as a part of other invested assets.

Derivatives

The Company uses derivative financial instruments for risk management purposes to hedge against specific interest rate risk, to alter investment rate exposures arising from mismatches between assets and liabilities, and to minimize the Company's exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and general market conditions. The Company does not hold or issue any derivative instruments for trading purposes.

As a component of its investment strategy and to reduce its exposure to interest rate risk, the Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements. Interest rate swap agreements are agreements to exchange with a counterparty interest rate payments of differing character (e.g., fixed-rate payments exchanged for variable-rate payments) based on an underlying principal balance (notional principal) to hedge against interest rate changes. No cash is exchanged at the outset of the contract and no principal payments are made by either party. A single net payment is usually made by one counter-party at each interest payment date. The net payment is recorded as a component of derivative income (loss). Because the underlying principal is not exchanged, the Company's maximum exposure to counterparty credit risk is the difference in payments exchanged. The fair value of swap agreements are included with derivative instruments - receivable (positive position) or derivative instruments - payable (negative position) in the accompanying balance sheet.

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

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

The Company utilizes currency forwards to hedge against changes in the exchange rate of U.S. dollars. The Company enters into single or multiple settlement forward contracts based on a spot rate determined at the trade date. Currency forwards are carried at fair value and are included with derivative instruments (positive position) or other liabilities (negative position) in the accompanying balance sheet.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002

4. INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)

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

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

Included in derivative losses are losses on the translation of foreign currency denominated GIC liabilities of $83.3 million, $158.6 million and $115.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

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

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

7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

SFAS No. 107, "Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," excludes certain insurance liabilities and other non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. The fair value amounts presented herein do not include the expected interest margin (interest earnings over interest credited) to be earned in the future on investment-type products or other intangible items. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented herein do not necessarily represent the underlying value to the Company. Likewise, care should be exercised in deriving conclusions about the Company's business or financial condition based on the fair value information presented herein.

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

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

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

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

Derivatives: Fair value of swaps are based on current settlement values. The current settlement values are based on dealer quotes and market prices. Fair values for options and futures are based on dealer quotes and market prices.

7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

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

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

Policy liabilities: The fair values of the Company's general account insurance reserves and contractholder deposits under investment-type contracts (insurance, annuity and pension contracts that do not involve mortality or morbidity risks) are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or surrender values based on interest rates currently being offered for similar contracts with maturities consistent with those remaining for all contracts being valued. Those contracts that are deemed to have short-term guarantees have a carrying amount equal to the estimated market value. The fair values of other deposits with future maturity dates are estimated using discounted cash flows.

Long term debt: The fair value of notes payable and other borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based upon the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowings.

8. REINSURANCE

Reinsurance ceded contracts do not relieve the Company from its obligations to policyholders. The Company remains liable to its policyholders for the portion reinsured to the extent that any reinsurer does not meet the obligations assumed under the reinsurance agreement. To minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies, the Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentrations of credit risk. A brief discussion of the Company's reinsurance agreements by segment (see Note 14) follows.

Wealth Management Segment

The Wealth Management Segment currently does not offer traditional life insurance products; however, it manages a closed block of single premium whole life insurance policies ("SPWL"), a retirement-oriented tax-advantaged life insurance product. The Company discontinued sales of SPWL's in response to certain tax law changes in the 1980s. The Company had SPWL policyholder balances of approximately $1.7 billion as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. On December 31, 2003, this entire block of business was reinsured on a funds withheld basis with SLOC, an affiliated company. By reinsuring the SPWL product, the Company reduced net investment income by $91.2 million and interest credited by $79.6 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2004. In addition, the Company also increased net investment income by $13.6 million relating to an experience rating refund under the reinsurance agreement. The liability for the SPWL policies is included in contractholder deposit funds and other policy liabilities.

Individual Protection Segment

The Company has agreements with SLOC and several unrelated companies, which provide for reinsurance of portions of the net-amount-at-risk under certain individual variable universal life, bank owned life insurance ("BOLI"), and corporate owned life insurance ("COLI") policies. These amounts are reinsured on either a monthly renewable or a yearly renewable term basis. Fee income was reduced by $28.7 million and $23.4 million for the years ended 2004 and 2003, respectively, to account for these agreements.

Effective October 1, 2004, the Company no longer acts as the reinsurer of risk under the lapse protection benefit for certain universal life contracts issued by SLOC.

8. REINSURANCE (CONTINUED)

Group Protection Segment

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

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

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

The Company, through its affiliate SLNY, has an agreement with an unrelated company whereby the unrelated company reinsures the morbidity risks of SLNY's group stop loss contracts. Under this agreement, certain stop loss benefits are reinsured on a yearly renewable term basis. The agreement provides that the unrelated company will reinsure specific claims for amounts above $1.0 million per claim for stop loss contracts ceded by SLNY.

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

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

9. RETIREMENT PLANS

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

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

9. RETIREMENT PLANS (CONTINUED)

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

Plan Assets

The asset allocation for the Company's pension plan assets for 2004 and 2003 measurement, and the target allocation for 2005, by asset category, are as follows:

Target Allocation

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

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

1)

exceeds the assumed actuarial rate;

2)

exceeds the return of customized index created by combining benchmark returns in appropriate weightings based on an average asset mix of funds; and

3)

generates a real rate of return of at least 3% after inflation, and sufficient income or liquidity to pay retirement benefits on a timely basis.

Equity securities include SLF common stock in the amount of $4.2 million and $3.0 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Cash Flow

Due to the over funded status of the defined benefit plan, the Company will not be making contributions to the plan in 2005.

401(k) Savings Plan

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

The amount of the 2004 employer contributions under plan sponsorship for the Company and its affiliates was $4.5 million. Amounts are allocated to affiliates based on employees' contributions. The Company's portion of the expense was $2.8 million, $0.9 million and $1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Other Post-Retirement Benefit Plans

Through December 31, 2001, the Company was a participant in a post-retirement benefit pension plan for employees sponsored by SLOC providing certain health, dental and life insurance benefits ("post-retirement benefits") for retired employees and dependents. Consistent with the transfer of all employees to the Company on January 1, 2002, the plan's sponsorship was transferred to the Company. Expenses are allocated to participating companies based on the number of participants. Substantially all employees of the participating companies may become eligible for these benefits if they reach normal retirement age while working for the Company, or retire early upon satisfying an alternate age plus service condition. Life insurance benefits are generally set at a fixed amount.

In order to measure the post-retirement benefit obligation for 2004, the Company assumed an 11% annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits. In addition, medical cost inflation is assumed to be 10% in 2005 and assumed to decrease gradually to 5.00% for 2010 and remain at that level thereafter. Assumed healthcare cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the health care plans.

10. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

The Company makes payments under certain tax sharing agreements as if it were filing as a separate company. The Company had no net income tax payments for 2004 and the Company received income tax refunds of $17.1 million in 2003. SLUS received refunds of $14.9 million in 2002 and Keyport made income tax payments of $9.9 million in 2002. At December 31, 2004, the Company had $12.7 million of net operating loss carry forwards available. These amounts were incurred in 2001, 2002 and 2003 and will expire, if unused, beginning in 2016 and ending in 2018.

The Company's federal income tax returns are routinely audited by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), and provisions are made in the consolidated financial statements in anticipation of the results of these audits. SLUS is currently under audit by the IRS for the years 2001 and 2002. 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.

Changes in prior estimates are recorded in results of operations in the year such changes are determined to be needed.

15. REGULATORY FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Company and its insurance subsidiaries are required to file annual statements with state regulatory authorities prepared on a statutory accounting basis prescribed or permitted by such authorities. Statutory surplus differs from stockholder's equity reported in accordance with GAAP primarily because policy acquisition costs are expensed when incurred, policy liabilities are based on different assumptions, investments are valued differently, post-retirement benefit costs are based on different assumptions, and deferred income taxes are calculated differently. The Company's statutory financials are not prepared on a consolidated basis.

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

224,284

(286,911)

16. DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS

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

Pursuant to Delaware's statute, the maximum amount of dividends and other distributions that a domestic insurer may pay in any twelve-month period without prior approval of the Delaware Commissioner of Insurance is limited to the greater of (i) ten percent of its statutory surplus as of the preceding December 31, or (ii) the individual company's statutory net gain from operations for the preceding calendar year. Any dividends to be paid by an insurer from a source other than statutory surplus, whether or not in excess of the aforementioned threshold, would also require the prior approval of the Delaware Commissioner of Insurance. In 2004, the Company's Board of Directors approved and the Company paid $150.0 million of cash dividends to its parent, SLC (U.S.) Holdings. On December 31, 2004, SCA was distributed in the form of a dividend of $6.6 million to the Company's parent and became a consolidated subsidiary of SLC (U.S.) Holdings. The Company did not pay any dividends in 2003 or 2002.

New York law permits a domestic stock life insurance company to distribute a dividend to its shareholders without prior notice to the New York Superintendent of Insurance, where the aggregate amount of such dividend in any calendar year does not exceed the lesser of: (i) ten percent of its surplus to policyholders as of the immediately preceding calendar year; or (ii) its net gain from operations for the immediately preceding calendar year, not including realized capital gains. No dividends were paid by SLNY during 2004, 2003 or 2002.

Rhode Island law requires prior regulatory approval for any dividend where the amount of such dividend paid during the preceding twelve (12) month period would exceed the lesser of (i) ten percent of the insurance company's surplus as of the December 31 next preceding, or (ii) its net gain from operations, not including realized capital gains, for the immediately preceding calendar year, excluding pro rata distributions of any class of the insurance company's own securities. No dividends were paid by Independence Life during 2004, 2003 or 2002.

18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Regulatory and Industry Developments

Unfavorable economic conditions may contribute to an increase in the number of insurance companies that are under regulatory supervision. This may result in an increase in mandatory assessments by state guaranty funds, or voluntary payments by solvent insurance companies to cover losses to policyholders of insolvent or rehabilitated companies. Under insurance guaranty fund laws in each state, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, insurers licensed to do business can be assessed by state insurance guaranty associations for certain obligations of insolvent insurance companies to policyholders and claimants. Most of these laws do provide, however, that an assessment may be excused or deferred if it would threaten an insurer's solvency and further provide annual limits on such assessments. Part of the assessments paid by the Company pursuant to these laws may be partially recovered through a reduction in future premium taxes in some states.

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

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

As part of an industry wide investigation, state regulators are investigating certain compensation arrangements and other business practices between insurance companies and brokers. The Company and certain of its affiliates have received requests for information from state regulators and are cooperating with respect to these matters.

Litigation

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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

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

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholder's equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004.  Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15.  These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, on December 31, 2003, Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) merged with Keyport Life Insurance Company. The companies became affiliates on November 1, 2001 as a result of the acquisition of Keyport Life Insurance Company by Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.)'s ultimate parent. The merger of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) and Keyport Life Insurance Company was accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" for transfers of assets among affiliates. Accordingly, the financial statements for all periods prior to December 31, 2003 have been restated to give effect to the merger as of November 1, 2001.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2004, the Company adopted the provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position 03-1, "Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Nontraditional Long-Duration Contracts and for Separate Accounts." As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective December 31, 2003, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51" and FASB Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51" (Revised).

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Sub-Accounts are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal controls over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal controls over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Sub-Accounts' internal controls over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Sub-Accounts as of December 31, 2004 and the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended, 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, Regatta Masters Flex contracts, Regatta Masters IV contracts and Regatta Masters VII 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 exists 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 include MFS/Sun Life Series Trust (the "Series Trust"). With respect to the Regatta Masters Extra contracts, Regatta Masters Choice contracts, Regatta Masters Access contracts, Regatta Masters Flex contracts, Regatta Masters IV contracts and the Regatta Masters VII contracts the funds include 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.

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 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 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") 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, Regatta Masters Flex, Regatta Masters IV and Regatta Masters VII 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 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 .57% to 1.74% 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 Gold, 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 Extra, Regatta Flex II, Regatta Choice II, Regatta Masters Extra, Regatta Masters Choice, Regatta Masters Flex, Regatta Masters IV and Regatta Masters VII 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, Regatta Masters Flex, Regatta Masters IV and Regatta Masters VII 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, Regatta Masters Flex, Regatta Masters IV and Regatta Masters VII 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, 2004, 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 Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

(4) Annuity Reserves

Annuity reserves are calculated using the 1983 Individual Annuitant Mortality Table and an assumed interest rate of at least 3% or 4%, for Regatta, Regatta Gold, Regatta Classic and Regatta Platinum as stated in each participant's contract or certificate, as applicable if the contract's annuity commencement date is before January 1, 2000. Annuity reserves are calculated using the 2000 Individual Annuitant Mortality Table and an assumed rate of at least 3% or 4%, for Regatta, Regatta Gold, Regatta Classic and Regatta Platinum as stated in each participant's contract or certificate, as applicable if the contract's annuity commencement date is on or after January 1, 2000. Annuity reserves are calculated using the 2000 Annuitant Mortality Table and an assumed rate of 3% for Extra, Regatta Access, Regatta Choice, Regatta Flex 4, Regatta Masters Choice, Regatta Masters Access, Regatta Masters Extra, and Regatta Masters Flex. Due to the demographics of Regatta Flex II, Regatta Choice II, Regatta Masters IV and Regatta Masters VII, no reserves were required at year-end. Required adjustments to the reserves are accomplished by transfers to or from the Sponsor.

* Represents the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the Sub-Account from the underlying mutual fund, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the average net assets. 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.

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

<R>

No person is directly or indirectly controlled by the Registrant. The Registrant is a separate account of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.), which is ultimately controlled by Sun Life Financial Inc.

The organization chart of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada is filed as Exhibit 13 to Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement of Keyport Variable Account A (File No. 333-114126), filed February 25, 2005

</R>

None of the companies listed in Exhibit 13 is a subsidiary of the Registrant; therefore, the only financial statements being filed are those of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.).

Item 27. NUMBER OF CONTRACT OWNERS

<R>

As of March 18, 2005, there were 3,737 qualified and 5,255 non-qualified Contracts issued and outstanding.

</R>

Item 28. INDEMNIFICATION

Pursuant to Section 145 of the Delaware Corporation Law, Article 8 of the By-laws of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.), a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 3(b) to the Registration Statement of the Depositor on Form S-1, File No. 33-29851, provides for the indemnification of directors, officers and employees of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.).

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) pursuant to the certificate of incorporation, by-laws, or otherwise, Sun Life (U.S.) has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Sun Life (U.S.) of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, controlling person of Sun Life (U.S.) in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, Sun Life (U.S.) will submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by them is against public policy as expressed in the Act, unless in the opinion of their counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 29. PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITERS

<R>

(a) Clarendon Insurance Agency, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.), acts as general distributor for the Registrant, Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Variable Accounts C, D, E, G, H and I, Keyport Variable Account A, KMA Variable Account, Keyport Variable Account I, KBL Variable Account A, KBL Variable Annuity Account, Sun Life (N.Y.)
