SUN LIFE (N.Y.) VARIABLE ACCOUNT B
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
(1) ORGANIZATION
 
Sun  Life (N.Y.) Variable Account B (the "Variable Account"), a separate account
of Sun  Life  Insurance  and  Annuity  Company  of  New  York,  the  Sponsor  (a
wholly-owned  subsidiary of  Sun Life Assurance  Company of  Canada (U.S.)), was
established on December  3, 1984 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  assets  of  the  Variable  Account  are  divided  into  Sub-Accounts.  Each
Sub-Account  is invested in shares  of a specific series  of MFS/Sun Life Series
Trust (the "Series Trust") as selected  by contract owners. The Series Trust  is
an  open-end  management  investment  company  registered  under  the Investment
Company Act of 1940. Massachusetts  Financial Services Company, a subsidiary  of
Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.), is investment adviser to the Series
Trust.
 
(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
GENERAL
 
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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
 
INVESTMENT VALUATIONS
 
Investments in shares of the Series Trust are recorded at their net asset value.
Realized gains and losses on sales of shares of the Series Trust are  determined
on  the identified  cost basis. Dividend  income and  capital gain distributions
received by the Sub-Accounts  are reinvested in  additional Series Trust  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 subject to
tax.
 
(3) CONTRACT CHARGES
 
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
 
                                                                               5

Sponsor.  These  deductions  are   transferred  periodically  to  the   Sponsor.
Currently, the deduction is at an effective annual rate of 1.3% of the assets of
the Variable Account attributable to Compass 2 contracts and 1.25% of the assets
of the Variable Account attributable to Compass 3 contracts.
 
Each  year on the contract anniversary, a  contract maintenance charge of $30 is
deducted from  each  contract's  accumulation account  to  cover  administrative
expenses  relating  to the  contract. After  the  annuity commencement  date the
charge 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  (including   the  distribution  expense  charge
described below applicable  to Compass 3  contracts) exceed 5%  of the  purchase
payments  made under a  Compass 2 contract  or 9% of  the purchase payments made
under a Compass 3 contract.
 
For assuming the risk that withdrawal charges may be insufficient to  compensate
it  for the costs of  distributing the Compass 3  contracts, the Sponsor makes a
deduction from the Variable Account at the end of each valuation period for  the
first  seven  contract  years  (during  both  the  accumulation  period  and, if
applicable, after annuity payments begin) at  an effective annual rate of  0.15%
of  the  assets  of the  Variable  Account  attributable to  such  contracts. No
deduction is made after the seventh  contract anniversary. No such deduction  is
made with respect to assets attributable to Compass 2 contracts.
 
(4) ANNUITY RESERVES
 
Annuity reserves for contracts with annuity commencement dates prior to February
1,  1987  have been  calculated using  the  1971 Individual  Annuitant Mortality
Table. Annuity  reserves for  contracts with  annuity commencement  dates on  or
after  February  1,  1987 are  calculated  using the  1983  Individual Annuitant
Mortality Table. All annuity reserves  are calculated using an assumed  interest
rate of 4%. Required adjustments to the reserve are accomplished by transfers to
or from the Sponsor.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
To the Participants in Sun Life (N.Y.) Variable Account B
  and  the Board of Directors  of Sun Life Insurance  and Annuity Company of New
York:
 
We have  audited the  accompanying statement  of condition  of Sun  Life  (N.Y.)
Variable  Account B (the  "Variable Account") as  of June 30,  1996, the related
statements of operations  for the six  months then ended  and the statements  of
changes  in net assets for the six months then ended and the year ended December
31, 1995. 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. 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 Variable Account as  of June 30, 1996,
the results  of  its operations  and  the changes  in  its net  assets  for  the
respective  stated  periods  in conformity  with  generally  accepted accounting
principles.
