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 revenues 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

SUN LIFE (N.Y.) VARIABLE ACCOUNT B
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- continued
 
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, 1997, the related
statements of operations for the six months then ended and the statements of
changes in net assets for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and the year ended
December 31, 1996. 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, 1997,
the results of its operations and the changes in its net assets for the
respective stated periods in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
