SUN LIFE (N.Y.) VARIABLE ACCOUNT C
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
(1) ORGANIZATION
 
Sun  Life (N.Y.) Variable Account C (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 October 18, 1985 as a funding vehicle for the variable portion of
certain individual  combination fixed/variable  annuity contracts.  Sale of  the
contracts  commenced on April  1, 1993. 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 Sponsor.  These deductions are
transferred periodically  to the  Sponsor.  Currently, the  deduction is  at  an
effective annual rate of 1.25%.

SUN LIFE (N.Y.) VARIABLE ACCOUNT C
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- continued
 
Each  year on the contract anniversary,  an account administration fee ("Account
Fee") of $30 is  deducted from each contract's  accumulation account. After  the
annuity  commencement  date  the Account  Fee  is  deducted pro  rata  from each
variable annuity payment made during the year. In addition, a deduction is  made
from  the Variable Account at the end  of each valuation period (during both the
accumulation period and  after annuity  payments begin) at  an effective  annual
rate of 0.15% of the daily net assets of the Variable Account. These charges are
paid to the Sponsor to reimburse it for administrative expenses which exceed the
revenues received from the Account Fee.
 
The  Sponsor does not deduct  a sales charge from  purchase payments. However, a
withdrawal charge (contingent  deferred sales  charge) of  up to  6% of  certain
amounts  withdrawn, when applicable, will be  deducted to cover certain expenses
relating to  the  sale  of  the  contracts. In  no  event  shall  the  aggregate
withdrawal  charges  assessed  against  a contract  exceed  9%  of  the purchase
payment.
 
(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 reserves
are accomplished by transfers to or from the Sponsor.
 
                                                                               7

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
To the Participants in Sun Life (N.Y.) Variable Account C
  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 C  (the "Variable Account")  as of June  30, 1996, the  related
statement  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. Our procedures included
confirmation with the custodian of securities  held for the Variable Account  as
of  June 30,  1996. 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.
