Semi-Annual Report
June 30, 2000
<PAGE>
To Our Contract Owners: August 11, 2000
I am pleased to provide you with your Semi-Annual Report for New England
Variable Annuity Fund I. This report reviews the performance of the fund and
the holdings in the portfolio through June 30, 2000.
The proven long-term investment record of this fund is most impressive. In
addition to the performance of the fund, there are a number of other benefits
to owning your variable annuity. It is ideally suited for retirement planning
since you are provided with a hedge against inflation, a guaranteed minimum
death benefit and variable and fixed payout options, including options that
provide payments for your lifetime. Your annuity contract will also provide for
immediate payment of death proceeds to your named beneficiary without incurring
the long delays and costs of probate.
If you would like more information about this investment opportunity, please
contact your New England Financial representative.
Sincerely,
/s/ Mary Ann Brown

President, New England Financial

NOTE: Investment performance results contained in this report are not a
prediction of future returns and, except for the average annual total returns,
do not reflect the deduction of the maximum 6% sales load, the maximum 3%
administrative charge or 3.5% premium tax, if applicable. If included, these
charges would reduce performance figures. The investment return on and
principal value of your investment will fluctuate, so that your contract may be
worth more or less than you invested.

* The percentage figures for the Fund are based upon beginning accumulation
unit values for the periods shown of $1.166948, $1.423583, $4.355736,
$9.079903, $15.158337, $34.527024 and $38.279606, respectively.
The periods selected cover the preceding twenty-nine years, twenty years,
fifteen years, ten years, five years, the past year and the past six months.
The results should be considered in light of the Fund's investment objective
and policies, the characteristics and quality of its portfolio securities, and
the periods selected. Inasmuch as the Fund does not distribute investment
income, the investment record reflects reinvestment of such income. The
investment record for the Fund also reflects charges, at an effective annual
rate of approximately 1.26%, made for investment management and mortality and
expense risks. It also reflects certain other expenses to the Fund, currently
at an annual rate of .05%.

NEW ENGLAND VARIABLE ANNUITY FUND I
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
1.Nature of Operations
New England Variable Annuity Fund I (the "Fund") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end
management investment company. The Fund is sold for use with various retirement
plans that are qualified under the Internal Revenue Code, for individual use,
and for use with plans and trusts that are not qualified under the Internal
Revenue Code. The operations of the Fund are part of Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company (the "Insurance Company"). The Insurance Company is a wholly-
owned subsidiary of MetLife Inc., a publicly traded company. Prior to August
30, 1996, the Fund was a part of New England Mutual Life Insurance Company,
("New England Mutual"). Effective August 30, 1996, New England Mutual merged
into the Insurance Company. New England Life Insurance Company, a subsidiary of
the Insurance Company, is the designated office for contract-holder services.
No new contracts are being offered at this time, but holders of existing
flexible payment deferred contracts may continue to make purchase payments.
2.Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund.
A. Security valuation. Investments in common stocks traded on a national
securities exchange or on the NASDAQ national market system are valued at
their last reported sales prices on the principal exchange, or if there was
no reported sale during the day and for over-the-counter securities not so
listed, at the last reported bid prices. Corporate short-term notes are
stated at cost, which approximates fair value.
B. Security transactions and related investment income. Security transactions
are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is
executed), and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest
income is recorded on the accrual basis. Net investment income and net
realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the
contracts on each valuation date based on each contract's pro rata share of
the net assets of the Fund as of the beginning of the valuation period.
C. Federal income taxes. The Fund is not taxed separately because the
operations of the Fund are part of the total operations of the Insurance
Company. The Insurance Company is taxed as a life insurance company under
the Internal Revenue Code. The Fund will not be taxed as a regulated
investment company under subchapter M of the Code. Under existing federal
income tax law, no taxes are payable on the investment income or on the
capital gains of the Fund.
D. Annuity Reserves. Annuity reserves are computed for currently payable
contracts according to the 1983-a Mortality Tables. The assumed interest
rate may be 0%, 3.5% or 5% as elected by the annuitant and as regulated by
the laws of the respective states. Adjustments to annuity reserves are
reimbursed to or from the Insurance Company. For contracts payable on or
after January 1, 1998 annuity reserves will be computed according to the
Annuity 2000 Mortality Tables.
E. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles 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 amounts of income and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) -- Continued
3.Purchases and Sales of Investment Securities
The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments (other
than short-term securities) for the six months ended June 30, 2000 were
$97,624,416 and $102,169,155, respectively. Gains and losses from sales of
investments are computed on the basis of average cost.
4.Advisory and Services Fees With Affiliates
During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Fund incurred investment
management fees of $112,469, payable to the Fund's investment adviser, Capital
Growth Management Limited Partnership, an affiliate of the Insurance Company.
The advisory agreement provides for a fee at the annual rate of 0.03066% of the
average net assets of the Fund. Deductions from purchase payments for sales and
administrative expenses, which for the six months ended June 30, 2000, amounted
to $10,670, were retained by the Insurance Company.
Effective January 1, 1995, the audit and Board of Managers fees have been borne
by the Fund. A charge is deducted daily against the Fund based on estimated
audit and manager fees. This daily charge is reviewed on a quarterly basis and
adjusted as necessary. Any excess or deficiency in the daily charge relative to
incurred expenses is applied to future periods in the quarterly review. For the
six months ended June 30, 2000 the charges to the Fund amounted to $18,687.
5.Mortality and Expense Risks
Although variable annuity payments differ according to the investment
performance of the Fund, they are not affected by mortality or expense
experience because the Insurance Company assumes the expense risk and the
mortality risk under the contracts. The Insurance Company charges the Fund
assets for assuming those risks. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the
mortality and expense risk charges totaled $329,972.
The expense risk assumed by the Insurance Company is the risk that the
deductions for sales and administrative expenses and for investment advisory
services provided for in the variable annuity contract may prove insufficient
to cover the cost of those items.
The mortality risk assumed by the Insurance Company has two elements; a life
annuity mortality risk and, for deferred annuity contracts, a minimum death
refund risk.
The life annuity mortality risk results from a provision in the contract in
which the Insurance Company agrees to make annuity payments regardless of how
long a particular annuitant or other payee lives and how long all annuitants or
other payees as a class live if payment options involving life contingencies
are chosen. Those annuity payments are determined in accordance with annuity
purchase rate provisions established at the time the contracts are issued.
Under deferred annuity contracts, the Insurance Company also assumes a minimum
death refund risk by providing that there will be payable, on the death of the
annuitant during the accumulation period, an amount equal to the greater of (1)
the aggregate purchase payments made, without interest, adjusted for any
partial surrender, and (2) the value of the contract as of the death valuation
date.
If those deductions are insufficient to cover the cost of the expense and
mortality risks assumed by the Insurance Company, the Insurance Company absorbs
the resulting losses and makes sufficient transfers
