To Our Contract Owners and Participants:

     The U.S. equity market had another strong year with the S&P 500 rising by a
yield adjusted 21.0%.  We are pleased to report that your diversified large cap
growth equity portfolio outperformed the S&P 500 during the year. The
accumulation unit values of the Qualified Fund and Non-Qualified Fund increased
33.7% and 37.5% respectively for the year.

     Performance for 1999 continued extremely strong for your fund and for
stocks in general.  The U.S. economy is now in the longest up-cycle on record
and stocks have responded with record-breaking performance.  The S&P 500 index
returned 21.0%, which is the fifth straight greater-than-20% annual return.  The
strong economy and low inflation have combined to produce surprising earnings
growth and high valuations.  The technology sector was by far the strongest
sector in 1999 with a return of 75%.  Investments in computers and
telecommunication equipment to enhance productivity have resulted in strong
demand for the companies in this sector.  For the first time since 1993 small
company stocks performed as well as large company stocks.

     Year 2000 faces some problems that may reduce returns from the blistering
pace of the past five years.  Tight monetary and fiscal policy should slow the
economy and corporate profits even while inflation may tick upward.  Election
year politics creates uncertainty.  On the positive side, we are in the midst of
a telecommunications revolution that will continue to produce enormous
productivity for years to come.  If that productivity relieves the inflation
stresses on the economy, the markets can continue to advance.



                              Sincerely,

                              /s/Don Boggs

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS



The Owners of Variable Annuity Contracts of The Paul Revere
Variable Annuity Insurance Company and the Board of
Managers of The Paul Revere Variable Annuity Contract
Accumulation Fund of The Paul Revere Variable Annuity
Insurance Company


We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of The
Paul Revere Variable Annuity Contract Accumulation Fund (comprising the
Qualified and Non-qualified Portfolios) as of December 31, 1999 and 1998,
including the statement of investments as of December 31, 1999, and the related
statements of operations and changes in net assets for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 1999, and the supplementary information for
each of the ten years in the period then ended.  These financial statements and
supplementary information are the responsibility of the Fund's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
supplementary information based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
supplementary information 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
owned as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, by correspondence with the custodian and
brokers.  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, the financial statements and supplementary information referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The
Paul Revere Variable Annuity Contract Accumulation Fund at December 31, 1999 and
1998, the results of its operations and the changes in its net assets for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999, and the supplementary
information for each of the ten years in the period then ended, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1999


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,
     formerly Provident Companies, Inc. ("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 December 31, 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 day after
     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 and underwriter 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 performs all
     sales and administrative functions relating to the variable annuity
     contracts and the Fund.  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 does 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 Paul Revere
     Life. 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.   Commitments

     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 subsequent to June 1,
     1998 and daily unit value calculations subsequent to September 1, 1998 as
     well as accounting and other services. These services were previously
     performed by Provident. Fees for such services are deducted from the Fund
     as shown in the Statements of Operations.
