advised by Massachusetts Financial Services Company ("MFS"), an affiliate of the
Sponsor.

(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

GENERAL

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles 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 revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

INVESTMENT VALUATIONS

Investments in the Funds are recorded at their net asset value. Realized gains
and losses on sales of shares of the Funds are determined on the identified cost
basis. Dividend income and capital gain distributions received by the
Sub-Accounts are reinvested in additional Fund shares and are recognized on the
ex-dividend date.

Exchanges between Sub-Accounts requested by contract owners are recorded in the
new Sub-Account upon receipt of the redemption proceeds.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS

The operations of the Variable Account are part of the operations of the Sponsor
and are not taxed separately. The Variable Account is not taxed as a regulated
investment company. The Sponsor qualifies for the federal income tax treatment
granted to life insurance companies under Subchapter L of the Internal Revenue
Code. Under existing federal income tax law, investment income and capital gains
earned by the Variable Account on contract owner reserves are not taxable and,
therefore, no provision has been made for federal income taxes.

(3) CONTRACT CHARGES

A mortality and expense risk charge is deducted 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. The rate
of this deduction varies, based on total purchase payments credited to all
participants' accounts under a contract as follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                                   Mortality
                                  and Expense
Level      Purchase Payments      Risk Charge
- -----      -----------------      -----------
<S>     <C>                       <C>
  1          up to $250,000         1.30 %
  2      $250,000 to $1,499,999     1.25 %
  3     $1,500,000 to $4,999,999    1.10 %
  4       $5,000,000 and over       0.95 %
</TABLE>

Since 1987, the Sponsor has reduced the Level 1 mortality and expense risk
charge to 1.25% and, therefore, has been accounting for all Level 1 units as
Level 2 units.

Each year on the account anniversary, an account administration fee is deducted
from the participant's account to cover administrative expenses relating to the
contract and the participant's account. The amount of the fee varies from $12 to
$25 and is based on total purchase payments credited to all participants'
accounts under a contract. After the annuity commencement date, the account fee
is deducted pro rata from each annuity payment made during the year.

The Sponsor does not deduct a sales charge from purchase payments. However, a
withdrawal charge (contingent deferred sales charge) may be deducted to cover
certain expenses relating to the sale of the contract. In no event shall the
aggregate withdrawal charges exceed 6% of the purchase payments made under the
contract.

A deduction, when applicable, is made for premium taxes or similar state or
local taxes. It is currently the policy of the Sponsor to deduct the taxes from
the amount applied to provide an annuity at the time annuity payments commence;
however, the Sponsor reserves the right to deduct such taxes when incurred.

(4) ANNUITY RESERVES

Annuity reserves are calculated using the 1983 Individual Annuitant Mortality
Table and an assumed interest rate of 4%. Required adjustments to the reserve
are accomplished by transfers to or from the Sponsor.

                                                                               7

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Participants in Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Variable Account D
  and the Board of Directors of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.):

We have audited the accompanying statement of condition of Massachusetts
Investors Trust Sub-Account, Massachusetts Investors Growth Stock Sub-Account,
MFS Total Return Sub-Account, MFS Growth Opportunities Sub-Account, MFS Bond
Sub-Account, MFS Global Governments Sub-Account, MFS Capital Appreciation
Sub-Account, MFS Government Securities Sub-Account, MFS High Yield Sub-Account,
and MFS Money Market Sub-Account of Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Variable Account D
(the "Sub-Accounts") as of December 31, 1999, the related statement of
operations for the year then ended and the statements of changes in net assets
for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. These financial statements are
the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included
confirmation of securities held at December 31, 1999 by correspondence with the
custodian. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Sub-Accounts as of December 31, 1999,
the results of their operations and the changes in their net assets for the
respective stated periods in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
