                           VARIABLE AND FIXED ANNUITY
             ISSUED BY SUN LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY OF CANADA (U.S.)

      Effective July 17, 2000, with the addition of a new Series -- the
Technology Series -- to the MFS/Sun Life Series Trust (the "Series Fund"), you
may allocate your money among 27 variable investment options available under the
MFS Regatta Classic Variable and Fixed Annuity. Market conditions will determine
the value of an investment in the Technology Series and any other Series. The
Technology Series and the other Series available as Variable Account investment
options under the Contract are described in the current Series Fund prospectus,
as supplemented.

      As a result of the addition of the Technology Series, the Profile dated
May 1, 2000 (the "Profile") and the Prospectus dated May 1, 2000 (the
"Prospectus") are amended and supplemented as follows:

      1. The third paragraph of Section 1, "The MFS Regatta Classic Annuity," of
the Profile and the second paragraph on the cover page of the Prospectus are
each amended by deleting the first sentence in its entirety and replacing it
with the following:

      "You may choose among 27 variable investment options and a range of fixed
interest options."

      2. The list of the available investment options appearing in Section 4,
"Allocation Options," of the Profile and on the cover page of the Prospectus is
supplemented by the addition of the Technology Series.

      3. The summary expense chart appearing in Section 5, "Expenses," of the

</TABLE>

------------------------

    (1) The information relating to Series Fund expenses was provided by the
       Series Fund and we have not independently verified it. You should consult
       the Series Fund prospectus for more information about Series Fund
       expenses. For all Series except the Technology Series, "Management Fees,"
       "Other Expenses," and "Total Fund Expenses" are based on actual expenses
       for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, net of any applicable
       expense reimbursement or waiver. Expense figures shown for the Technology
       Series are estimates for the year 2000, based on the applicable expense
       reimbursement waiver. No actual expense figures are shown for the
       Technology Series because it commenced operations in June 2000 and,
       therefore, has less than 12 months of investment performance.

    (2) Each Series has an expense offset arrangement which reduces the Series'
       custodian fee based on the amount of cash maintained by the Series with
       its custodian and dividend disbursing agent, and may enter into such
       other arrangements and directed brokerage arrangements
<PAGE>
       (which would also have the effect of reducing the Series' expenses). Any
       such fee reductions are not reflected under "Other Expenses" in the
       table. Had these fees been taken into account, "Total Series Expenses"
       for certain of the Series would be as follows:

<TABLE>
<S>                                                           <C>
    Bond Series.............................................  0.71%
    Capital Appreciation Series.............................  0.75%
    Capital Opportunities Series............................  0.83%

    Global Asset Allocation Series..........................  0.88%

    Strategic Income Series.................................  1.03%
    Technology Series.......................................  1.03%
    Utilities Series........................................  0.81%
</TABLE>

    (4) MFS has agreed to bear the expenses of the Series such that "Other
       Expenses," after taking into account the expense offset arrangement
       described in Footnote (2) above, will not exceed 0.25% annually. This
       arrangement will continue until at least May 1, 2001, unless changed with
       the consent of the Series Fund's Board of Directors.

      5. The Examples presented on page 6 of the Prospectus are supplemented as
follows:

      If you do or do not surrender your Contract, or if you annuitize, at the
end of the applicable time period, you would pay the following expenses on a
$1,000 investment, assuming an average Contract size of $50,000 and a 5% annual
return:

</TABLE>

      6. The "Variable Account Options: The MFS/Sun Life Series Trust" section
beginning on page 9 of the Prospectus, is supplemented as follows:

    (a) The second paragraph of the section is deleted in its entirety and
       replaced by the following:

        "The Series Fund is composed of 28 independent portfolios of securities,
        each of which has separate investment objectives and policies. Shares of
        the Series Fund are issued in 28 Series, each corresponding to one of
        the portfolios. The Contract provides for investment by the Sub-
        Accounts in shares of the 27 Series described below. Additional
        portfolios may be added to the Series Fund which may or may not be
        available for investment by the Variable Account."

    (b) The following Series description is added to page 10 of the Prospectus:

        "TECHNOLOGY SERIES will seek capital appreciation."

THIS SUPPLEMENT IS NOT VALID UNLESS ACCOMPANIED OR PRECEDED BY THE CURRENT
PROSPECTUS OF THE MFS REGATTA CLASSIC VARIABLE AND FIXED ANNUITY AND THE CURRENT
PROSPECTUS OF THE MFS/SUN LIFE SERIES TRUST, AS SUPPLEMENTED. THIS SUPPLEMENT
AND THE PROSPECTUSES SHOULD BE READ AND RETAINED FOR FURTHER REFERENCE.

Capital Davis Financial Fund and the Sun Capital Davis Venture Value Fund (each,
a "Fund") -- to the Sun Capital Advisers Trust, you may allocate your money
among 41 variable investment options available under the Futurity Focus Variable
and Fixed Annuity. The Sun Capital Advisers Trust is managed by Sun Capital
Advisers, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life Assurance Company of
Canada (U.S.). Market conditions will determine the value of an investment in
any of the new Funds and in any other Fund. The Funds are described in the
current Fund prospectuses.

      As a result of the addition of the new Funds, the Profile dated May 1,
2000 (the "Profile") and the Prospectus dated May 1, 2000 (the "Prospectus") for
the Futurity Focus Variable and Fixed Annuity are amended and supplemented as
follows:

      1. The third paragraph of Section 1, "The Futurity Focus Annuity," of the
Profile and the second paragraph on the cover page of the Prospectus are each
amended by deleting the first sentence in its entirety and replacing it with the
following:

      "You may choose among 41 variable investment options and a range of fixed
interest options."

      2. The list of the available investment options under the Sun Capital
Advisers Trust appearing in Section 4, "Allocation Options," of the Profile and
on the cover page of the Prospectus is supplemented by the addition of the Sun
Capital Davis Financial Fund and the Sun Capital Davis Venture Value Fund.

the Prospectus is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:

    (2) For all Funds, except the Sun Capital Davis Financial Fund and the Sun
       Capital Davis Venture Value Fund, "Management Fees,""Other Expenses," and
       "Total Fund Annual Expenses" are based on actual expenses for the fiscal
       year ended December 31, 1999, net of any applicable expense reimbursement
       or waiver. Expense figures shown for the Sun Capital Davis Financial Fund
       and the Sun Capital Davis Venture Value Fund are estimates for the year
       2000,
<PAGE>
       based on the applicable expense reimbursement waiver; no actual expense
       figures are shown for these Funds because they commenced operations in
       July 2000 and, therefore, have less than 12 months of investment
       experience.

      6. Additionally, the following footnote to the "Underlying Fund Annual
Expenses" table is added to page 7 of the Prospectus:

    (10) The management fee for each of the Sun Capital Davis Financial Fund and
         the Sun Capital Davis Venture Value Fund decreases to 0.70% as the
         daily net assets of each Fund exceed $500 million.

      7. The Examples presented on page 8 of the Prospectus are supplemented as
follows:

      If you do or do not surrender your Contract, or if you annuitize, at the
end of the applicable time period, you would pay the following expenses on a
$1,000 investment, assuming an average contract size of $50,000 and a 5% annual
return:

Item 26.  PERSONS CONTROLLED BY OR UNDER COMMON CONTROL WITH THE DEPOSITOR OR
          REGISTRANT

     No person is directly or indirectly controlled by the Registrant.  The
Registrant is a separate account of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.),
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Holdings, Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada- U.S.
Operation Holdings, Inc., which is in turn a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun
Life Assurance Company of Canada.


     The organizational chart of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada is
incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 16 to Pre-Effective Amendment
No. 1 to Registrant's Registration Statement on Form N-4 (File No. 333-30844)
filed June 9, 2000.


<PAGE>

     None of the companies listed in such Exhibit 16 is a subsidiary of the
Registrant; therefore the only financial statements being filed are those of
Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.).

Item 27.  NUMBER OF CONTRACT OWNERS:

      As of June 15, 2000 there were 450 qualified and 1,325 non-qualified
Contracts issued by the Registrant.

Item 28.  INDEMNIFICATION


      Pursuant to Section 145 of the Delaware Corporation Law, Article 8 of
the By-laws of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.), as amended,
effective as of January 1, 2000 (a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 6(b) to
the Registration Statement on Form N-4), File No. 333-30844, provides for the
indemnification of directors, officers and employees of Sun Life Assurance
Company of Canada (U.S.).

      Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) pursuant to the certificate of
incorporation, by-laws, or otherwise, Sun Life (U.S.) has been advised that
in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by Sun Life (U.S.) of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer, controlling person of Sun Life (U.S.) in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, Sun Life (U.S.) will, unless in the opinion of their
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification
by them is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 29.  PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITERS

      (a)  Clarendon Insurance Agency, Inc., which is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Depositor, acts as general distributor for the Registrant,
