                                              Semi Annual Report
                                              June 30, 1999

To Our Contract Owners and Participants:

    The U.S. equity markets continued to perform well in the first half of 1999.
The strength of the U.S. economy led to a small interest rate increase in an
effort by the Federal Reserve to keep the strong economy from producing higher
inflation. However, we do not see strong inflationary pressures in the economy
that might result in additional tightening in the near term.

    We are pleased to report that your large cap growth equity portfolio's
return is ahead of both the S&P 500 and the Russell 1000 Growth Index. The total
return for the portfolio for the second quarter 1999 was 7.05%, and 27.26% for
the one year period ended 6/30/99. The portfolio's position in Technology,
Miscellaneous Business Services and Leisure Activity contributed to the
portfolio's good performance in the second quarter. First quarter results
benefited from Consumer Staples and Healthcare holdings, as well as from a
number of the portfolio's Technology holdings.

    Much of the strength of the performance of the stock market in the past year
is attributed to a narrow band of about 50 large company stocks. Over the past
few months investors have looked increasingly to mid-cap and small company
stocks for more attractive prices. We believe this rotation toward a broader
group of stocks presents a good opportunity for investors to diversity their
portfolios.

                                   Sincerely,



                                   /s/Donald Boggs

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited)


1.   Organization

     The Paul Revere Variable Annuity Contract Accumulation Fund ("The Fund") is
     a separate account of The Paul Revere Variable Annuity Insurance Company
     ("Paul Revere Variable"), and is registered under the Investment Company
     Act of 1940 as an open-end diversified investment company. Paul Revere
     Variable is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Paul Revere Life Insurance
     Company ("Paul Revere Life") which in turn is wholly-owned by The Paul
     Revere Corporation which is wholly-owned by UNUMProvident Corporation
     ("Provident"). The Fund is the investment vehicle for Paul Revere
     Variable's tax-deferred group annuity contracts.

2.   Accounting policies

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions that affect the amounts reported in those statements and
     accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from such estimates.

     Common and preferred stocks are stated at market values which are based on
     the last sales prices at June 30, 1999, as reported on national security
     exchanges or the closing bid prices for unlisted securities as reported by
     investment dealers. Short-term notes are stated at amortized cost which
     approximates market value. Unrealized investment gains and losses are
     included in contract owners' equity. Realized gains and losses on
     investments sold are determined on the basis of specific identification of
     investments. Security transactions are accounted for on the date the
     securities are purchased or sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-
     dividend date. Interest income is accrued on a daily basis.

     The Fund does not distribute net investment income and net realized capital
     gains through dividends to contract owners. The allocation of net
     investment income and net realized capital gains occurs automatically in
     the daily determination of unit net asset values. They are, therefore,
     included in the value of the contracts in force and in payments to contract
     owners.

     Contract owners' equity is comprised of two components. Deferred contracts
     terminable by owner represents amounts attributable to contracts which have
     not yet annuitized. Currently payable contracts include amounts equivalent
     to the annuity reserves relating to contracts with current annuities.
     Annuity reserves are computed for currently payable contracts according to
     the 1900 Progressive Annuity Mortality Table. The assumed interest rate is
     either 3.5% or 5% according to the option elected by the annuitant at the
     time of conversion. Paul Revere Variable bears all the mortality risk
     associated with these contracts.

3.   Investment advisor

     Paul Revere Variable acts as investment advisor to the Fund and provides
     mortality and expense guarantees to holders of variable annuity contracts.
     For these services, Paul Revere Variable receives mortality and expense
     risk fees and investment management and advisory service fees as shown on
     the statement of operations which, on an annual basis, will not exceed 2%
     of the average daily net asset value of the Fund.

     Paul Revere Variable also acts as principal underwriter and is responsible
     for all sales and administrative functions relating to the variable annuity
     contracts and the Fund (see Note 8). Fees for such services are deducted
     from the contract purchase payments as shown in the statements of changes
     in net assets.

4.   Investment sub-advisor

     Under an investment sub-advisory agreement with MFS Institutional Advisors,
     Inc. ("MFSI"), MFSI provides investment management services to Paul Revere
     Variable for a fee which, on an annual basis, will equal 0.35% of the
     average daily net assets of each series of the Fund. This fee is borne by
     Paul Revere Variable only and do not represent an additional charge to the
     Fund.

5.   Federal income taxes

     The Fund's operations are included with those of Paul Revere Variable,
     which is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code
     and is included in a consolidated federal tax return filed by The Paul
     Revere Life Insurance Company. In the opinion of Paul Revere Variable
     management, current law provides that investment income and capital gains
     from assets maintained in the Fund for the exclusive benefit of the
     contract owners are generally not subject to federal income tax. However,
     to the extent that Paul Revere Variable incurs federal income taxes based
     on the income from the Fund's assets, the Fund will be charged. No charges
     for federal income taxes have been made since the inception of the Fund.

6.   Security transactions

     The aggregate cost of securities purchased and proceeds of securities sold,

8.   Asset Transfer Agreement

     On May 15, 1998 Provident completed an Asset Transfer and Acquisition
     Agreement under which American General Corporation assumed Provident's
     individual and tax-sheltered annuity business including all individual
     annuities. In accordance with the agreement, American General Corporation,
     through its subsidiaries Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company and
     American General Annuity assumed the administration, but not the ownership,
     of Provident's two registered separate accounts, Separate Account B and The
     Paul Revere Variable Annuity Contract Accumulation Fund. The administration
     services provided to the Fund by American General Corporation include
     processing of unit transactions and daily unit valuation calculations
     subsequent to June 1, 1998 as well as accounting and other services. These
     services were previously performed by Provident. Fees for such services are
     borne by Paul Revere Variable only and do not represent an additional
     charge to the Fund.
