                                  VARIABLE ACCOUNT B

                       NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   ORGANIZATION:

     Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Variable Account B (the "Variable Account"), a
     separate account of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) (the
     "Sponsor") was established as a  funding vehicle for individual variable
     annuities.  The Variable Account is registered with the Securities and
     Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a unit
     investment trust.  The operations of the Variable Account are part of the
     operations of the Sponsor and are not taxed separately; the Variable
     Account is not taxed as a regulated investment company.  The Sponsor
     qualifies for the federal income tax treatment granted to life insurance
     companies under Subchapter L of the Internal Revenue Code.  Under existing
     federal tax law, investment income and capital gains of the Variable
     Account are not taxable and, therefore, no provision has been made for
     federal income taxes.

2.   INVESTMENT VALUATIONS:

     At June 30, 1998, the Variable Account was fully invested in shares of
     MFS/Sun Life Series Trust, Money Market Series ("MMS").  Investment in
     shares of MMS are recorded at their net asset value.  Dividend income
     received by MMS is reinvested in additional shares of MMS and is recognized
     on the ex-dividend date.

3.   MORTALITY AND EXPENSES RISK CHARGES:

     A deduction based on the value of either the variable accumulation units
     credited to a deferred contract's accumulation account or the annuity units
     credited to either an immediate or a deferred contract, as the case may be,
     is made by the Sponsor from the Variable Account at the end of each
     valuation period for the mortality and expense risks assumed by the
     Sponsor.  These deductions are transferred periodically to the Sponsor.
     Currently, the deduction is at  an effective annual rate of 1.0% of the
     respective values.

4.   RESERVE FOR VARIABLE ANNUITIES:

     The reserve for variable annuities (contracts in payment period) has been
     calculated using the Progressive Annuity Table (for year of birth 1900)
     with interest equal to the assumed interest rate used in determining the
     annuity units and the annuity unit values.  Separate tables were used for
     male and female annuitants.  Required adjustments to the reserve will be
     accomplished by transfers to or from the Sponsor.
