ISSUED BY SUN LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY OF CANADA (U.S.)
Effective July 17, 2000, with the addition of a new Fund -- the Technology

an investment in the Technology Series and any other Fund. The Technology Series
and the other Funds 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
April 10, 2000 (the "Profile") and the Prospectus dated April 10, 2000 (the
"Prospectus") are amended and supplemented as follows:
1. The third paragraph of Section 1, "The Annuity Contract," of the

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

(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(es) for more information about Fund expenses.
For all Funds except the Technology Series, "Management Fees," "Other
Fund Expenses," and "Total Annual 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 Fund has an expense offset arrangement which reduces the Fund's
custodian fee based upon the amount of cash maintained by the Fund with
its custodian and dividend disbursing agent, and may enter into such
other arrangements and directed brokerage arrangements (which would also
have the effect of reducing the Fund's expenses). Any such fee reductions
are not reflected under "Other Expenses" in the table. Had these fees
been taken into account, "Total Fund Expenses" for certain of the Funds
would be as follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Bond Series............................................. 0.71%

New Discovery Series.................................... 1.05%
Strategic Income Series................................. 1.03%
Technology Series....................................... 1.03%
Utilities Series........................................ 0.81%
</TABLE>
(4) MFS has agreed to bear the expenses of the Fund 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.
4. The "Examples" presented on page 6 of the Prospectus are supplemented as
follows:
