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
Regatta-NY and Regatta Gold-NY contracts commenced on April 1, 1993 and August
1, 1996, respectively. 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-Registered Trademark-/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, an affiliate 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- continued
 
(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%.
 
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 the 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 exceed 9% of the purchase payment made under a
Regatta-NY contract or 6% of the aggregate purchase payments made under a
Regatta Gold-NY contract.
 
(4) ANNUITY RESERVES
 
Annuity reserves are calculated using the 1983 Individual Annuitant Mortality
Table and an assumed interest rate of 4% for Regatta-NY contracts and 3% for
Regatta Gold-NY contracts. Required adjustments to the reserves are accomplished
by transfers to or from the Sponsor.
 
                                                                              11

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
To the Contract Owners 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, 1998, the related
statement of operations for the six month period then ended and the statements
of changes in net assets for the six month period ended June 30, 1998 and the
year ended December 31, 1997. 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 June 30, 1998 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 Variable Account as of June 30, 1998,
the results of its operations and the changes in its net assets for the
respective stated periods in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
