Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) (the "Company") was incorporated in 1970 as a life insurance company domiciled in the state of Delaware. Effective January 31, 2001, the Company became authorized to do business in 49 states. In addition, the Company's wholly-owned insurance subsidiary, Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York, is licensed in New York. The Company and its subsidiaries are engaged in the sale of individual and group variable life insurance, individual fixed and variable annuities, group fixed and variable annuities, group pension contracts, guaranteed investment contracts, group life and disability insurance, excess major medical stop-loss contracts, and other asset management services.

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

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for stockholder-owned life insurance companies and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2002, the Company owned all of the outstanding shares of Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York, Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Distributors, Inc., Sun Life Financial Services Limited, Sun Benefit Services Company, Inc., Sun Capital Advisers, Inc., Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) SPE 97-I, Inc., Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Holdings General Partner, Inc., Vision Financial Corporation and Clarendon Insurance Agency, Inc. The results are also consolidated with Sun Life of Canada Funding, LLC, which is owned by a trust sponsored by the Company and Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Limited Partnership I, for which Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Holdings General Partner, Inc. is the sole general partner.

10

Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York is engaged in the sale of individual fixed and variable annuity contracts and group life, disability insurance and stop loss contracts in its state of domicile, New York. Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Distributors, Inc. is a registered investment adviser and broker-dealer. Sun Life Financial Services Limited serves as the marketing administrator for the distribution of the offshore products of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada, an affiliate. Sun Capital Advisers, Inc. is a registered investment adviser. Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) SPE 97-I, Inc. was organized for the purpose of engaging in activities incidental to securitizing mortgage loans. Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Holdings General Partner, Inc. is the sole general partner of Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Limited Partnership I. Clarendon Insurance Agency, Inc. is a registered broker-dealer that acts as the general distributor of certain annuity and life insurance contracts issued by the C ompany and its affiliates. Sun Benefit Services Company, Inc. is inactive. Sun Life of Canada Funding, LLC was organized for the purpose of engaging in activities incidental to establishing the new guaranteed investment products of the Company. Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Limited Partnership I was established to purchase subordinated debentures issued by the Company's parent, Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Holdings, Inc., and to issue Partnership Capital Securities to an affiliated business trust, Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Capital Trust I.

On March 12, 2001, the Company purchased Vision Financial Corporation for approximately $5.0 million and acquired approximately $1.6 million of goodwill. Vision Financial Corporation, based in Keene, N.H., is a third-party administrator that specializes in the administration of insurance products sold at the worksite. The Company has recorded the acquisition using the purchase method of accounting. The results of operations of Vision Financial Corporation for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 were insignificant to the Company.

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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates are those used in determining deferred policy acquisition costs, investment allowances and the liabilities for future policyholder benefits. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Certain amounts in the prior year's financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2002 presentation.

11

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

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

During 2001, the Company adopted the requirements of Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 102, "Selected Loan Loss Allowance and Documentation Issues". The adoption of SAB No. 102 had no material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In July 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached consensus on Issue No. 99-20, "Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Certain Investments". This pronouncement requires investors in certain asset-backed securities to record changes in their estimated yield on a prospective basis and to evaluate these securities for an other than temporary decline in value. This consensus is effective for financial statements with fiscal quarters beginning after December 15, 2000. The Company adopted EITF No. 99-20 in June 2001; it had no material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" which replaces SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities". This standard revises the methods for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral as outlined in SFAS No. 125, and requires certain additional disclosures. Adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

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

12

Also in July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," which relates to financial accounting and reporting of obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. SFAS No. 143 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company believes that adoption of this statement will not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". This statement supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." SFAS No. 144 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

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

The FASB recently issued an exposure draft of an interpretation of SFAS No. 94, "Consolidation of All Majority-Owned Subsidiaries", to provide additional guidance to assist companies in identifying and accounting for special purpose entities ("SPEs") including when SPEs should be consolidated by the investor. The exposure draft introduces a concept that consolidation would be required unless the SPE can meet certain substantive independent economic substance criteria. It is not possible to determine at this time what conclusions will be included in the final interpretation; however, the result could impact the accounting treatment of these entities.

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections" to update, clarify and simplify existing accounting pronouncements pertaining to extinguishment of debt and certain lease modifications. Adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Company has an agreement with Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada ("SLOC") which provides that SLOC will furnish, as requested, certain services and facilities on a cost-reimbursement basis. Expenses under this agreement amounted to approximately $7,820,000 and $16,493,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002, respectively, and $11,680,000 and $22,531,000 for the same periods in 2001.

13

2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES (Continued)

Effective January 2002, essentially all United States employees of Keyport Life Insurance Company ("Keyport Life"), an affiliate, and SLOC became employees of the Company. As a result, the Company has assumed most other operating expenses of Keyport Life, including salaries and benefits, as well as the salaries and benefits previously incurred by SLOC in the United States. Salaries, benefits, and other general expenses increased by $14,321,000 and $29,979,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001 primarily due to this transfer. In accordance with a tri-party management service agreement between the Company, Keyport Life, and SLOC, the Company provides personnel and certain services to Keyport Life and SLOC, as requested. Reimbursements under this agreement, which are recorded as a reduction of other operating expenses, were approximately $11,087,000 and $24,456,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 200 2. Management believes intercompany revenues and expenses are calculated on a reasonable basis, however, these amounts may not necessarily be indicative of the costs that would be incurred if the Company operated on a standalone basis.

The Company leases office space to SLOC under lease agreements with terms expiring in September, 2005 and options to extend the terms for each of twelve successive five-year terms at fair market rental not to exceed 125% of the fixed rent for the term which is ending. Rent received by the Company under the leases for the three and six month periods amounted to approximately $2,914,000 and $5,828,000 in 2002 and $2,193,000 and $4,386,000 in 2001.

On May 29, 2002, the Company sold its $100,000,000 note from Massachusetts Financial Services Company, an affiliate, to Keyport Life Insurance Company, another affiliate, for approximately $107,000,000. The note was included in fixed maturities available-for-sale at December 31, 2001.

See Note 5. for an additional transaction with an affiliate which occurred after the balance sheet date.

The Company offers financial products and services such as fixed and variable annuities, guaranteed investment contracts, retirement plan services, and life insurance on an individual and group basis, as well as disability insurance and excess major medical stop-loss contracts on a group basis. Within these areas, the Company conducts business principally in three operating segments and maintains a corporate segment to provide for the capital needs of the three operating segments and to engage in other financing related activities. Net investment income is allocated based on segmented assets by line of business.

The Individual Protection segment markets and administers a variety of life insurance products sold to individuals and corporate owners of life insurance. The products include whole life, universal life and variable life products.

The Group Protection segment markets and administers group life and long-term disability insurance to small and mid-size employers in the State of New York.

The Wealth Management segment markets and administers individual and group variable annuity products, individual and group fixed annuity products which include market value adjusted annuities, other retirement benefit products, and guaranteed investment contracts ("GICs") which are marketed to unrelated third parties in overseas markets. The GICs may contain any of a number of features including variable or fixed interest rates and equity index options and may be denominated in foreign currencies. The Company uses derivative instruments to manage the risks inherent in the contract options.

The following amounts pertain to the various business segments:

4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The Company is not aware of any contingent liabilities arising from litigation, income taxes and other matters beyond the ordinary course of business that could have a material effect upon the financial condition of the Company.

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. Recent regulatory actions against certain large life insurers encountering financial difficulty have prompted various state insurance guaranty associations to begin assessing life insurance companies for the deemed losses. 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 and its subsidiaries pursuant to these laws may be used as credits for a portion of the associated premium taxes.

The Company has syndicated two lines of credit each in the amount of $250 million. There are 14 banks in the syndicate of lenders, which is led by J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, New York. The banks have committed to lend funds of up to $500 million when requested by the Company at prevailing rates determined in accordance with the line of credit agreements. One line of credit terminates October 2002, the other in October 2003. As of June 30, 2002, no amounts have been borrowed.

5. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On July 25, 2002, the Company issued an $80,000,000 promissory note at 5.71% to an affiliate, Sun Life (Hungary) Group Financing Limited Liability Company ("Sun Life (Hungary) Ltd"), which matures on June 30, 2012. The Company will pay interest semi-annually to Sun Life (Hungary) Ltd beginning December 31, 2002. The proceeds of the note will be used to purchase fixed rate corporate and government bonds.

This discussion includes forward-looking statements by the Company under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are not matters of historical fact; they relate to such topics as future product sales, volume growth, market share, market risk and financial goals. It is important to understand that these forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those that the statements anticipate. These risks and uncertainties may concern, among other things:

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require the Company to make estimates and assumptions (see Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements). The Company believes that of its significant accounting, the following may involve a higher degree of judgement and complexity.

Acquisition costs related to fixed and variable annuities and life insurance products are deferred and amortized, generally in proportion to the ratio of annual gross profits to the estimated total gross profits over the lives of the contracts. Estimated gross profits are reviewed quarterly and adjusted retrospectively when the Company revises its estimates. Estimated gross profits include assumptions related to mortality, lapse, expense, and asset growth rates. Although realization of deferred policy acquisition costs is not assured, the Company believes it is more likely than not that all of these costs will be realized. The amount of deferred policy acquisition costs considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if the estimates of gross profits or total revenues discussed above are reduced.

Changes in any of the assumptions that serve to increase or decrease the estimated future gross profits will cause the amortization of deferred acquisition costs to decrease or increase, respectively, in the current period. This will cause fluctuation in earnings from period to period.

17

The Company uses derivative financial instruments for risk management purposes to hedge against specific interest rate risk, to alter investment rate exposures arising from mismatches between assets and liabilities, and to minimize the Company's exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and general market conditions. The derivative instruments used by the Company include swaps and options. The Company does not employ hedge accounting treatment. As a result, the unrealized gains and losses are recognized immediately in net investment income. Changes in the level of interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates or equity markets will cause the value of these derivatives to change and can cause quarterly fluctuations in earnings.

The Company believes that its derivatives provide economic hedges against the risks noted. Since the majority of the liabilities that are being hedged are not carried at fair value, the changes in the fair value of the derivatives will cause fluctuation in the reported earnings from period to period as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and equity markets change.

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into transactions involving various types of financial instruments. These instruments involve credit risk and may also be subject to risk of loss due to interest rate fluctuation. The Company monitors each financial instrument individually and, when appropriate, obtains collateral or other security to minimize losses. The Company values its publicly traded fixed maturities using market prices or dealer quotes. For privately placed fixed maturities, fair values are estimated by taking into account prices for publicly traded securities of similar credit risk, maturity, repayment and liquidity characteristics. The fair values of mortgages 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.

Certain of our fixed maturities are classified as trading and others as available-for-sale. The changes in fair value of trading securities are recorded as a component of net investment income. The changes in fair value of available-for-sale securities are recorded in other comprehensive income.

Our ability to liquidate our positions in privately placed fixed securities and mortgages will be impacted to a significant degree by the lack of an actively traded market. Although we believe our estimates reasonably reflect the fair value of those instruments, our key assumptions about the risk-free interest rates, risk premiums, performance of underlying collateral (if any) and other factors may not reflect those of an active market.

The liabilities associated with traditional life insurance, annuity and disability insurance products are computed using the net level premium method based on assumptions about future investment yields, mortality, morbidity and persistency. The assumptions used are based upon the Company's experience and industry standards.

Once these assumptions are made for a given group of policies they will not be changed over the life of the policies unless the Company recognizes a loss on the entire line of business. The Company periodically reviews its policies for loss recognition based upon management's best estimates. From time to time the Company may recognize a loss on certain lines of business.

18

Net income was $3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to $11 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The results declined by $12 million on a pretax basis before the cumulative change in accounting principle that was recorded in the first quarter of 2001 related to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133. Key factors of the decline in earnings relate to lower net investment income and increased amortization of deferred acquisition costs ("DAC").

Total revenues of $362 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased $16 million as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001.

The Company's net income (loss) from operations reflects the operations of its four business segments: the Wealth Management segment, the Individual Protection segment, the Group Protection segment and the Corporate segment.

19

The following table provides a summary of net income (loss) from operations by segment (after tax, before cumulative change in accounting principle), which is discussed more fully below.

The Wealth Management segment focuses on the savings and retirement needs of individuals preparing for retirement or who have already retired and on the marketing of guaranteed investment contracts (''GICs'') to unrelated third parties in overseas markets. In the U.S. it primarily markets to upscale consumers, selling individual and group fixed and variable annuities. Its major product lines, ''Regatta'' and ''Futurity,'' are combination fixed/variable annuities. In these combination annuities, contractholders have the choice of allocating payments either to a fixed account, which provides a guaranteed rate of return, or to variable accounts. Withdrawals from the fixed account are subject to market value adjustment. In the variable accounts, the contractholder can choose from a range of investment options and styles. The return depends upon investment performance of the options selected. Investment funds available under Regatta products are managed by Massachusetts Financial Services Co mpany ("MFS"), an affiliate of the Company. Investment funds available under Futurity products are managed by several investment managers, including MFS and Sun Capital Advisers, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company.

The Company sells its annuity products via two affiliated wholesale distribution organizations, Massachusetts Financial Distributors (Regatta products) and Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Distributors, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company (Futurity products). During the second quarter of 2002, a third, non-affiliated distributor organization, Liberty Fund Distributors, initiated sales with the inception of a new product, All Star. The annuity products are then distributed through a variety of unaffiliated retail organizations including securities brokers, financial institutions, insurance agents, and financial advisers.

In 1997, the Company decided to no longer market group pension and GIC products in the U.S. Although these pension products are not currently sold in the U.S., there continues to be a small block of U.S. group retirement business in-force, including GICs, pension plans and group annuities. A significant portion of these pension contracts is non-surrenderable, resulting in limited liquidity exposure to the Company. GICs were marketed directly in the U.S. through independent managers. Beginning in the second quarter of 2000, the Company began marketing GICs to unrelated third parties in overseas markets.

Wealth Management net income (loss) was ($30) million and $13 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The income (loss) on a pretax basis, before cumulative changes in accounting principles, was ($47) million and $6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The $53 million pretax decrease is primarily due to three factors: 1) decline in market value of bonds in the Wealth Management portfolio which are classified as trading securities; and 2) increased amortization of DAC on annuity products; and a decrease in the market value of derivatives used in asset/liability management.

20

Total Revenues were $243 million and $281 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

21

Other items to note regarding the Wealth Management segment:

The Company currently markets variable life insurance products. These products include variable universal life products marketed to the corporate-owned life insurance ("COLI") market, which were first introduced in late 1997. In September 1999, the Company introduced a new variable life product as part of the Futurity product portfolio. The Company's management expects the variable life business to grow and become more significant.

Earnings from the Individual Protection segment for the six months ended June 30, 2002 remained consistent with the six months ended June 30, 2001. Pretax net income increased slightly by $0.4 million. This minor increase was attributed to many factors including increased fee income offset by the net impact of changes in DAC. New and existing business in the COLI and Futurity variable universal life product lines increased fee and other income by $7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in 2002. Amortization of DAC also increased by $7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001. Amortization of DAC is higher in 2002 due to significant favorable cumulative adjustments to DAC recorded in 2001. Investment income and net realized gains and losses were consistent with the prior year period.

22

The Corporate segment consists of the unallocated capital of the Company, its debt financing, and items not otherwise attributable to the other segments.

The Corporate segment had a net income of $29 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to a net loss of ($4) million for the same period in 2001. This $33 million increase reflects $36 million of derivative income earned during the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to $9 million of losses recognized in 2001. During the last six months of 2001, the Company purchased put options on the S&P 500 index as part of its overall risk management strategy. The fair value of these options increased by $31 million since December 31, 2001. Realized gains on bonds decreased by $6 million primarily due to the recognition of the decline in market value of certain available-for-sale securities which was deemed other than temporary.

Net income was $12 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to $23 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The results declined by $26 million on a pretax basis due to a significant increase in the amortization of DAC offset by lower payments to policyholders and increased fee income. The Company experienced significant swings in the market value of various derivative instruments used in its business segments; however, when comparing the current quarter to the prior year quarter on a consolidated basis, these fluctuations had an insignificant impact on earnings.

Total revenues of $197 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 increased $13 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001. Fee and other income increased by $13 million, despite reduced mortality and expense fees of $6 million for the quarter as compared to the same quarter in 2001. The increase in total fees and other income is primarily due to new distribution and service contracts with affiliates outside of the consolidated group that were effective July 1, 2001. Operating expenses associated with some of these contracts increased $8 million, offsetting the benefit from the increased intercompany fees.

Total benefits and expenses of $169 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 increased by $39 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001.

23

The following table provides a summary of net income for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 by segment (after tax), which is discussed more fully below.

Net income (loss) for the quarter declined $68 million as compared to the second quarter of 2001; the decline was $102 million on a pretax basis. The volatility of market conditions in general have significantly impacted Wealth Management as evidenced by lower derivative income, market depreciation of certain trading securities, and increased amortization of deferred acquisition costs.

$66 million of the decline in pretax net income (loss) is related to the program which offers guaranteed investment contracts ("GICs") to unrelated third parties in overseas markets. This program began during the second quarter of 2000 and has grown from initial deposits of $177 million to approximately $1.4 billion inception to date. Due to the nature of the contracts and the investment portfolio backing the contract holder liabilities, the program has the potential to be significantly impacted by changes in market conditions from quarter to quarter including changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates and investment spread. Wealth Management uses various derivative instruments as part of its asset-liability management programs. The Company does not employ hedge accounting for its derivatives. The changes in the fair values of the derivatives are reflected in the income while the liabilities are maintained at book value. This introduces volatility into the earnings. Despite significant volatility on derivatives associated with the new GICs, the Company's exposure is limited due to the structure of payment terms at maturity.

Following are other major factors affecting the Wealth Management segment's results in the second quarter of 2002 as compared to 2001.

24

Earnings from the Individual Protection segment for the second quarter of 2002 remained consistent with the same period in 2001. Pretax net income increased by $0.7 million primarily due to increased fees from new and existing business in the COLI and Futurity variable universal life product lines. Investment income and net realized gains and losses were consistent with the prior year period.

Net income of $2.0 million for the quarter increased $1.0 million over the same period in 2001; the increase was $1.4 million on a pretax basis. Rate increases on renewals and new business, together with increased volume in the life products and persistency in the in-force block of life business, resulted in increased premiums of $0.8 million ($0.3 pertaining to Stop-Loss). Improvements in commissions and operating expenses also contributed to the increased earnings. Claims were comparable to 2001.

The Corporate segment had net income of $48 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to a net loss of $8 million for the same period in 2001. This significant increase reflects the change in fair value of the S&P index put options that the Company purchased as part of its overall risk management strategy. The market value of these options increased $63 million during the quarter. Realized gains on bonds decreased by $4 million primarily due to the recognition of the decline in market value of certain available-for-sale securities which was deemed other than temporary.

The Company's total assets comprise those held in its general account and those held in its separate accounts. General account assets support general account liabilities. Separate accounts are investment vehicles for the Company's variable life and annuity contracts. Policyholders may choose from among various investment options offered under these contracts according to their individual needs and preferences. Policyholders assume the investment risks associated with these choices. Separate account assets are not available to fund the liabilities of the general account.

The following table summarizes changes in asset balances during the six months ended June 30, 2002.

General account assets increased by 5.6% in 2002, while variable separate account assets decreased by 10.5%. The growth in general account assets is primarily due to the new GIC products marketed to foreign investors which had net deposits of approximately $397 million during the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decline in variable separate accounts as compared to the general account reflects depreciation of the funds held in the variable separate accounts, which was significant during the first half of 2001, as well as increased surrenders. Net deposit activity reduced variable account assets by $256 million since December 31, 2001.

The assets of the general account are available to support general account liabilities. For management purposes, it is the Company's practice to segment its general account to facilitate the matching of assets and liabilities. General account assets primarily comprise cash, invested assets, and deferred policy acquisition costs, which represented essentially all of general account assets at June 30, 2002. Major types of invested asset holdings included fixed maturity securities, short-term investments, mortgages, real estate and other invested assets. The Company's fixed maturity securities, totaling $3,946.2 million, comprised 77.3% of the Company's portfolio of invested assets at June 30, 2002, and included both public and private issues as well as $600 million of subordinated debentures from the Company's parent. It is the Company's policy to acquire only investment-grade securities in the general account. As a result, the overall quality of the fixed maturity portfolio is high. At June 30, 2002, only 4.8% of the fixed maturity portfolio was rated below-investment-grade. Short-term investments of $129 million represented 2.5% of the total portfolio. The Company's mortgage holdings amounted to $809 million at June 30, 2002 representing 15.8% of the total portfolio. All of the Company's mortgage holdings at June 30, 2002 were in good standing. The Company believes that the high quality of its mortgage portfolio is largely attributable to its stringent underwriting standards. At June 30, 2002, investment real estate amounted to $82 million, representing about 1.6% of the total portfolio. The Company invests in real estate to enhance yields and, because of the long-term nature of these investments, the Company uses them for purposes of matching with products having long-term liability durations. Other invested assets amounted to $100 million, representing about 2.0% of the portfolio. These holdings comprised mainly leveraged lease investments, limited partnerships and unrealized g ains on derivatives. Policy loans represent the remaining 0.8% of invested assets.

As with assets, the variable separate account liabilities have been decreasing during 2002 due to the unfavorable market conditions. Liabilities decreased 6.3% during the first half of 2002. Most of the Company's liabilities comprise reserves for life insurance and for annuity contracts and deposit funds. During 2001, the new GIC products marketed overseas were introduced which have increased general account liabilities by approximately $1.4 billion from inception to date. The Company would expect the general account liabilities related to annuity contracts and deposit funds to decline more than separate account liabilities because it believes that in the future, net deposits to variable products will exceed net deposits for the fixed contracts associated with these liabilities.

See Item 3 "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk", in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the Company's capital markets risk management.

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (''NAIC'') adopted regulations at the end of 1993 that established minimum capitalization requirements for insurance companies, based on risk-based capital (''RBC'') formulas applied to statutory surplus. These requirements are intended to identify undercapitalized companies, so that specific regulatory actions can be taken on a timely basis. The RBC formula for life insurance companies calculates capital requirements related to assets, insurance, interest rates, and business risks. According to the RBC calculation, the Company met its capital requirements at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001.

26

The Company's liquidity requirements are generally met by funds from operations. The Company's main uses of funds are to pay out death benefits and other maturing insurance and annuity contract obligations; to make pay-outs on contract terminations; to purchase new investments; to fund new business ventures; and to pay normal operating expenditures and taxes. The Company's main sources of funds are premiums and deposits on insurance and annuity products; proceeds from the sale of investments; income from investments; and repayments of investment principal. Reimbursements and fees from affiliates are also used to pay normal operating expenditures.

In managing its general account assets in relation to its liabilities, the Company has segmented these assets by product or by groups of products. The Company manages each segment's assets based on an investment policy that it has established for that segment. Among other matters, this investment policy considers liquidity requirements and provides cash flow estimates. The Company reviews these policies quarterly.

The Company's liquidity targets are intended to enable it to meet its day-to-day cash requirements. On a quarterly basis, the Company compares its total "liquifiable" assets to its total demand liabilities. Liquifiable assets comprise cash and assets that could quickly be converted to cash should the need arise. These assets include short-term investments and other liquid assets and investment-grade bonds. The Company's policy is to maintain a liquidity ratio in excess of 100%. Based on its ongoing liquidity analyses, the Company believes that its available liquidity is more than sufficient to meet its liquidity needs.

The Company's cash contractual obligations are as follows (in 000's):

The Company has syndicated two lines of credit each in the amount of $250 million. There are 14 banks in the syndicate of lenders, which is led by J. P. Chase Manhattan Bank, New York. The banks have committed to lend funds upon request by the Company, with interest at prevailing rates determined in accordance with the line of credit agreements. One line of credit terminates October 2002, the other in October 2003. As of June 30, 2002, no amounts have been borrowed.

The Company has made commitments of mortgage loans on real estate and private limited partnerships into the future. The outstanding commitments at June 30, 2002 amount to $10,080,000 for mortgages and $11,996,000 for private limited partnerships, respectively.

On March 12, 2001, the Company purchased all of the outstanding shares of Vision Financial Corporation ("Vision") for approximately $5 million. Vision is a third party administrator incorporated in New Hampshire that provides insurance services throughout the United States.

On December 21, 2000, the Company's parent, Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Holdings, Inc., transferred its $350,000,000 Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada subordinated note to Sun Canada Financial Co., an affiliate, in the form of additional capitalization. On the same day, Sun Canada Financial Co. transferred its ownership in the Company's surplus notes totaling $315,000,000 to Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Holdings, Inc. in the form of a dividend. As a result, the Company had $565,000,000 of surplus notes issued to its parent, Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Holdings Inc., as of December 31, 2000.

In October 2001, Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Holdings, Inc. transferred its ownership in the Company's surplus notes totaling $565,000,000 to Sun Life Financial (U.S.) Finance, Inc., an affiliate of the Company, at book value.

On July 25, 2002, the Company issued an $80,000,000 promissory note at 5.71% to an affiliate, Sun Life (Hungary) Group Financing Limited Liability Company ("Sun Life (Hungary) Ltd"), which matures on June 30, 2012. The Company will pay interest semi-annually to Sun Life (Hungary) Ltd beginning December 31, 2002. The proceeds of the note will be used to purchase fixed rate corporate and government bonds.

This discussion covers market risks associated with investment portfolios that support the Company's general account liabilities including non-unitized fixed product liabilities. This discussion does not cover market risks associated with those investment portfolios that support unitized separate account products. For these products, the policyholder, rather than the Company, assumes these market risks.

The assets of the general account are available to support general account liabilities. For purposes of managing these assets in relation to these liabilities, the Company notionally segments these assets by product or by groups of products. The Company manages each segment's assets based on an investment policy statement that it has established for that segment. The policy statement covers the segment's liability characteristics and liquidity requirements, provides cash flow estimates, and sets targets for asset mix, duration, and quality. Each quarter, investment and business unit managers review these policies to ensure that the policies remain appropriate, taking into account each segment's liability characteristics.

28

The Company's management believes that stringent underwriting standards and practices have resulted in high-quality portfolios and have the effect of limiting credit risk. It is the Company's practice, for example, not to purchase below-investment-grade securities. Also, as a matter of investment policy, the Company manages foreign exchange and equity risk within tolerance bands. The Company does hold real estate and equity options in its portfolios. (At June 30, 2002, investment real estate holdings represented approximately 1.6% of the Company's total general account investment portfolio.) The management of interest rate risk exposure is discussed below.

The Company's fixed interest rate liabilities are primarily supported by well-diversified portfolios of fixed interest investments. They are also supported by holdings of real estate and floating rate notes. All of these interest-bearing investments can include publicly issued and privately placed bonds and commercial mortgage loans. Public bonds can include Treasury bonds, corporate bonds, and money market instruments. The Company's fixed income portfolios also hold securitized assets, including mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") and asset-backed securities. These securities are subject to the same standards applied to other portfolio investments, including relative value criteria and diversification guidelines. In all portfolios, the Company restricts MBS investments to pass-through securities issued by U.S. government agencies and to collateralized mortgage obligations, which are expected to exhibit relatively low volatility. The Company does not engage in leveraged transactions and it does not routinely invest in the more speculative forms of these instruments such as the interest-only, principal-only, inverse floater, or residual tranches. As a result of commercial mortgage securitization transactions, the Company retained subordinated interest certificates as well as interest only certificates.

Changes in the level of domestic interest rates affect the market value of fixed interest assets and liabilities. Segments whose liabilities mainly arise from the sale of products containing interest rate guarantees for certain terms are sensitive to changes in interest rates. In these segments, the Company uses ''immunization'' strategies, which are specifically designed to minimize the loss from wide fluctuations in interest rates. The Company supports these strategies using analytical and modeling software acquired from outside vendors.

Significant features of the Company's immunization models include:

The Company's Interest Rate Risk Committee meets monthly. After reviewing duration analyses, market conditions and forecasts, the Committee develops specific asset management strategies for the interest-sensitive portfolios. These strategies may involve managing to achieve small intentional mismatches, either in terms of total effective duration or for certain key rate durations, between the liabilities and related assets of particular segments. The Company manages these mismatches to a tolerance range of plus or minus 1.0.

29

Asset strategies may include the use of Treasury futures or interest rate swaps to adjust the duration profiles for particular portfolios. All derivative transactions are conducted under written operating guidelines and are marked to market. Total positions and exposures are reported to the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis. The counterparties to hedging transactions are major highly rated financial institutions, with respect to which the risk of the Company's incurring losses related to credit exposures is considered remote.

Liabilities categorized as financial instruments and held in the Company's general account as of June 30, 2002 had a fair value of $4,659.6 million. Fixed income investments supporting those liabilities had a fair value of $5,279.6 million at that date. The Company performed a sensitivity analysis on these interest-sensitive liabilities and assets as of June 30, 2002. The analysis showed that if there were an immediate decrease of 100 basis points in interest rates, the fair value of the liabilities would show a net increase of $193.2 million (for an adjusted total of approximately $4,852.8 million) and the corresponding assets would show a net increase of $148.6 million (for an adjusted total of approximately $5,428.2 million).

By comparison, liabilities categorized as financial instruments and held in the Company's general account at December 31, 2001 had a fair value of $4,347.0 million. Fixed income investments supporting those liabilities had a fair value of $5,020.2 million at that date. The Company performed a sensitivity analysis on these interest-sensitive liabilities and assets as of December 31, 2001. The analysis showed that if there were an immediate decrease of 100 basis points in interest rates, the fair value of the liabilities would show a net increase of $206.2 million (for an adjusted total of approximately $4,553 million) and the corresponding assets would show a net increase of $172.5 million (for an adjusted total of approximately $5,193 million).

The Company produced these estimates using computer models. Since these models reflect assumptions about the future, they contain an element of uncertainty. For example, the models contain assumptions about future policyholder behavior and asset cash flows. Actual policyholder behavior and asset cash flows could differ from what the models show. As a result, the models' estimates of duration and market values may not reflect what actually would occur. The models are further limited by the fact that they do not provide for the possibility that management action could be taken to mitigate adverse results. The Company believes that this limitation is one of conservatism; that is, it will tend to cause the models to produce estimates that are generally worse than one might actually expect, all other things being equal.

Based on its processes for analyzing and managing interest rate risk, the Company's management believes its exposure to interest rate changes will not materially affect its near-term financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company's new GIC products introduced exposure to equity and foreign currency exchange risk. This is in addition to the traditional interest rate risk discussed previously. All of this exposure has been hedged through interest rate, currency, and equity swaps. The terms of each GIC such as interest rate, interest payment dates, maturity and redemption dates, and currency denomination are identical to the terms of the swaps. The GIC (liability) is swapped back to a US dollar fixed liability through the requisite derivative contracts. All foreign currency is swapped back to fixed US dollars, all floating rate payments are swapped to fixed rate payments, and any equity returns that the Company is required to pay (receive) on the GIC are received from (paid to) the swap. These interest rate, equity linked and currency exchange swaps effectively hedge the Company's exposure to interest, equity and foreign currency risks.

During 2001, the Company purchased put options on the S&P 500 index as part of its overall risk management strategy. At June 30, 2002, the fair value of the options was $117.2 million. The Company has performed a sensitivity analysis on the effect of market changes and has determined that a 10% increase in the market would decrease the market value of the options at June 30, 2002 by $43.2 million. A negative shift in the market of 10% would increase the market value by $61.2 million at June 30, 2002.
