SUN LIFE OF CANADA (U.S.) VARIABLE ACCOUNT E

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) ORGANIZATION
Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Variable Account  E (the "Variable Account"), a
separate account of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) (the "Sponsor"),
was established on December 3, 1985 as a funding vehicle for single premium
variable life insurance contracts. 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") an open-end management investment company registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Massachusetts Financial Services
Company, an affiliate of the Sponsor, is the investment adviser to the Series
Trust.

(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 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 shares of the Series
Trust 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
Certain charges based on the value of the Variable Account are paid to the
Sponsor from the Variable Account at the end of each valuation period as
follows: (i) an administrative charge of 0.35% for the first ten contract years
and 0.20% thereafter; (ii) a mortality and expense risk charge of 0.60%; and
(iii) a minimum

                                                                               7
<PAGE>
SUN LIFE OF CANADA (U.S.) VARIABLE ACCOUNT E

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- continued

(3) CONTRACT CHARGES -- continued
death benefit guarantee charge of 0.25% for the first ten contract years with no
deduction thereafter. Accounts are transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 in the
month following the tenth contract anniversary.

On each Monthly Anniversary Date after the Contract Date, a charge for providing
life insurance protection is imposed by the Sponsor against the contract's
account value. This charge will be based upon the Sponsor's expectations of
future mortality experience, but it will never be higher than the amount based
upon the 1980 CSO Mortality Table C, and in most cases it will be lower.

The Sponsor does not deduct a sales charge from the premium payment. 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 8% of the single premium payment made under
the contract.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

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

We have audited the accompanying statement of condition of Capital Appreciation
Sub-Account, Conservative Growth Sub-Account, Government Securities Sub-Account,
High Yield Sub-Account, Managed Sectors Sub-Account, Money Market Sub-Account,
Total Return Sub-Account, Global Governments Sub-Account and Zero Coupon
Portfolio 2000 Sub-Account of Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Variable Account E (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.
