CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE
Dear Variable Annuity Policyholder:
Enclosed is the annual report for The Galaxy VIP Fund for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1999. The report includes a Market Overview that describes
the different factors influencing investment returns during this period.
Following the Market Overview are individual portfolio reviews that describe how
Fleet Investment Advisors Inc. and Columbia Management Co. managed the
portfolios in this climate. Financial statements for each portfolio and a list
of each portfolio's holdings as of December 31, 1999 appear at the end of the
report.
Unexpected economic strength, prompted in part by recoveries abroad,
pushed major U.S. stock indices sharply higher in 1999. Stocks gained despite
concerns about inflation that caused the Federal Reserve (the "Fed") to boost
interest rates and bond yields to rise. As uncertainty increased about the
direction of interest rates and economic growth, however, stock prices became
more volatile. After rising sharply in the first and second quarters of the
year, major stock indices gave up a large part of those gains in the third
quarter. The indices then surged to new highs in the fourth quarter, as
investors saw that economic growth remained strong. Although returns for most
sectors were better than their historic averages, some outperformed by wide
margins. As higher interest rates eroded the prices for bonds, bond returns were
negative.
If you have any questions about the information in this report, please
contact the Galaxy Information Center toll-free at 1-877-BUY-GALAXY
(1-877-289-4252). You can also visit one of our investment professionals located

MARKET OVERVIEW
"HEAVY CONSUMER SPENDING IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 1999 SPARKED AN UNEXPECTEDLY
STRONG 4.3% INCREASE IN THE GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT ("GDP"), WHICH MEASURES THE
OUTPUT OF U.S. GOODS AND SERVICES."
MARKET OVERVIEW
BY FLEET INVESTMENT ADVISORS INC.
In 1999, improving economic conditions at home and abroad, combined with
moderate inflation, drove major stock market indices to double-digit returns for
a fifth straight year. These returns represented exceptional performance by an
ever-narrowing group of issues, however, with technology and communications
stocks increasingly dominating both the large- and small-capitalization sectors.
Although the Standard & Poor's 500 Index ("S&P 500 Index"), which represents
large-cap stocks, earned a total return of 21.03%, about half of the stocks in
the S&P 500 Index delivered negative returns. As a result, the average stock in
the S&P 500 Index had a return of 12.24% for the year. With sizable gains in the
second and fourth quarters of the year, small-cap issues represented in the
Russell 2000 Index ("Russell 2000") had a total return of 21.26%. In both the
large- and small-cap sectors, growth stocks outperformed value-oriented issues.
Bond prices fell sharply during the year, as the Fed sought to curb future
inflation by raising interest rates and investors shifted from bonds into
stocks. For just the second time in 26 years, the Lehman Brothers
Government/Corporate Bond Index had a negative total return, ending the year
down 2.15%.
STRONG GROWTH HELPS STOCKS, HURTS BONDS
Heavy consumer spending in the first quarter of 1999 sparked an
unexpectedly strong 4.3% increase in the Gross Domestic Product ("GDP"), which
measures the output of U.S. goods and services. In such a positive economic
climate, investors tended to ignore further weakness in corporate earnings. The
S&P 500 Index earned a total return of nearly 5% for the quarter. As in 1998,
small-company stocks remained out of favor, leaving the Russell 2000 with a
total return of -5.4%.
During the first quarter, bond investors worried that continued economic
strength would bring higher inflation and interest rates. Of particular concern
was a tight labor market that threatened to increase wages. With investors
believing that the Fed would probably raise interest rates to stem inflation,
bond prices fell enough to drive the yield for 30-year Treasury bonds from 5.09%
to 5.63%. An ease in the "flight to quality" of 1998 encouraged investors to
shift from Treasuries into better-yielding corporate bonds and mortgage-backed
securities. Corporates from economically sensitive "cyclical" industries
performed particularly well.
With continued gains in productivity and industrial production, further
growth in personal income and spending, and a 29-year low in unemployment,
economic optimism continued in the second quarter of 1999. Although the Commerce
Department would eventually report that GDP growth had slowed to 1.8% for the
quarter, the Fed remained concerned enough about future inflation to raise
short-term rates by 25 basis points (0.25%) on June 30.
Bond prices declined in anticipation of the rate hike, leaving long-term
Treasury yields at 5.95% by the end of June. With corporate supplies strong and
Treasury supplies shrinking, Treasuries outperformed corporates for the quarter.
Despite the threat of higher interest rates, stocks continued to rally. Hopeful
that the long-lived expansion would continue, investors shifted into small- and
mid-sized firms, as well as value-oriented stocks and cyclical sectors. The
Russell 2000 earned an exceptional total return of 15.6% for the quarter, versus
7.1% for the S&P 500 Index.
The broadening in stock market sentiment ended abruptly in the third
quarter, as anticipation of further interest rate increases sent investors back
to large-cap stocks. Although inflation was still moderate, the rate of GDP
growth improved to 5.5%. With accelerating growth and a weak dollar threatening
a future increase in inflation, the Fed raised rates another 25 basis points in
August.
The potential impact of higher interest rates on economic growth sent
stock prices lower, giving the S&P 500 Index a total return of -6.24% for the
quarter and the Russell 2000 a total return of -6.32%. Bond prices fell enough
to send 30-year Treasury yields to 6.05% by the end of September. In a renewed
flight to quality, Treasuries continued to outperform most other fixed-income
issues.
With economic growth still strong in the fourth quarter of 1999, the Fed
raised interest

"WITH CONTINUED ECONOMIC OPTIMISM, CORPORATE BONDS OUTPERFORMED TREASURY BONDS
SLIGHTLY. STOCK INDICES REBOUNDED FROM THEIR THIRD-QUARTER WEAKNESS, AS
"MOMENTUM" INVESTING DROVE NARROW SEGMENTS OF THE MARKET TO STRATOSPHERIC
HIGHS."
rates another 25 basis points in November. Anticipation of this and future rate
hikes drove long-term Treasury yields to 6.48% by the end of the year, for a
total increase of about 140 basis points over the end of 1998.
With continued economic optimism, corporate bonds outperformed Treasury
bonds slightly. Stock indices rebounded from their third-quarter weakness, as
"momentum" investing drove narrow segments of the market to stratospheric highs.
For the quarter, the S&P 500 Index earned a total return of 14.88%, and the
Russell 2000 returned 18.45%.
PORTFOLIO STRATEGIES
Throughout the period, the Galaxy VIP equity portfolios traded holdings
that had performed well for investments with better performance potential. In
making these shifts, we continued to emphasize quality companies with proven
earnings, strong earnings outlooks, and reasonable prices. We remained firm in
the belief that it was more prudent to buy stocks with real earnings than to
speculate on stocks with no earnings that were currently in favor. This
attention to earnings and price served the portfolios well, as strong
performance by many individual issues added to returns.
With a positive economic climate helping corporates and other non-Treasury
issues outperform, we gave greater attention to these issues during the year. In
addition to better price performance, such investments enhanced returns of the
Galaxy VIP bond portfolios with higher yields.
HIGHER RATES, SLOWER GROWTH AHEAD
We believe the economic momentum that developed in 1999 will probably
carry over into 2000, with an average GDP growth rate of about 3.5%. Continued
growth could also push inflation higher and prompt the Fed to make further hikes
in interest rates. Later in the year, such rate hikes could slow growth,
allowing bond yields to stabilize or fall. With the incremental yields that
investors demand for investing in non-Treasury bonds still wide versus
historical standards, non-Treasury issues could outperform while growth remains
strong. Given the added attention to these investments in the Galaxy VIP bond
portfolios, the portfolios could perform well under such conditions.
Uncertainty about interest rates and economic growth could make stock
prices volatile in coming months and may even prompt a temporary market
correction. With a positive outlook for growth in years to come, such a
correction could lay the foundation for future gains from the many stocks that
have lagged the market averages in recent years.
Given this outlook, we plan to continue favoring stocks with real growth
prospects and reasonable prices over stocks with perceived growth opportunities
at exorbitant prices. We also expect to keep the Galaxy VIP equity portfolios
well diversified. We feel there is great risk in concentrating on a few stocks,
especially those with the most excessive market valuations. Given the historical
extreme in the difference between the 1999 performance of the "haves" and the
"have-nots," we believe that there are many attractive investment opportunities
in the market today.

GALAXY VIP MONEY MARKET FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGER
KAREN ARNEIL
The Galaxy VIP Money Market Fund seeks as high a level of current income
as is consistent with liquidity and stability of principal.
Increases in interest rates by the Federal Reserve drove money market
yields higher in the past year. By positioning the Fund to take advantage of
these rate hikes, we helped the Fund earn a total return of 4.86% for the 12
months ended December 31, 1999. Over the same period, the average money market
fund tracked by Lipper Analytical Services ("Lipper") earned a total return of
4.49%. On December 31, 1999, the Fund had an average maturity of 30 days, a
7-day Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") effective yield of 5.85%, and a
30-day SEC effective yield of 5.78%.
ANTICIPATING FED RATE HIKES
At the start of the period, the Fund benefited from issues with high
yields that we'd purchased at the end of 1998. Because investors did not expect
the Fed to raise interest rates, the yield curve was flat for most of 1999's
first quarter. As a result, we focused on issues with shorter maturities.
Beginning in the second quarter, investors anticipated the Fed would have to
raise interest rates. The expectation of higher interest rates then persisted
for much of the rest of the year. In this environment, we clustered the maturity
dates of the Fund's investments around the dates of Fed meetings. This let us
get an immediate increase in the yield as the Fed raised rates on June 30,
August 24 and November 16.
As we approached year end, the market assumed that the Fed would not raise
rates again before its meeting in February 2000 due to Y2K liquidity concerns.
As yields increased for paper that matured into 2000, we added this paper to the
Fund's portfolio to enhance yield.
CONTINUED FOCUS ON FED MEETINGS
As long as investors expect the Fed to boost interest rates, money market
yields should continue to rise. To make the most of any rate hikes, we expect to
continue buying investments that mature near the dates of Fed meetings. As
always, we plan to make the most of special yield opportunities that arise from
market fluctuations and emphasize high-quality investments with strong
liquidity.

ROBERT G. ARMKNECHT HAS MANAGED THE GALAXY VIP EQUITY FUND SINCE JULY 1998. HE
HAS MANAGED EQUITY PORTFOLIOS FOR FLEET INVESTMENT ADVISORS INC. SINCE 1988.
GALAXY VIP EQUITY FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGER
ROBERT G. ARMKNECHT
The Galaxy VIP Equity Fund seeks long-term growth by investing in stocks
of companies that Fleet Investment Advisors Inc. believes have the potential for
above-average earnings growth.
At a time when investors generally favored growth stocks, we focused
investments in the Fund on high-quality companies in industries with especially
strong growth prospects. This strategy helped the Fund outperform both its
market benchmark and other funds with similar investment objectives during the
12 months ended December 31, 1999. The Fund's total return for the reporting
period was 27.18%. That compares with returns of 21.03% for the S&P 500 Index
and 22.35% for the average large-cap core fund tracked by Lipper.
MIX OF GROWTH STOCKS WORKS WELL
In looking for high-quality companies with especially strong promise for
growth, we emphasized stocks in the technology, communications, energy, health
care, and consumer staples sectors. This mix worked quite well during the year.
After strong gains from energy, semiconductor, and health care stocks offset
disappointing returns from communications stocks in the first quarter of the
year, the outperformance of energy stocks and an overweighted capital goods
position offset the dampening effect on health care stocks of suggested Medicaid
reform in the second quarter. In the third quarter, an outperformance by energy
and communications stocks overcame weaker returns from financial stocks hurt by
rising interest rates. Exceptional gains by technology, communications, and
consumer stocks in the fourth quarter, along with solid gains by basic materials
stocks, offset weaker returns from energy, health care, financial, and retail
stocks. The Fund also benefited during the period from superior stock selection
within industry sectors.
Throughout the year, we traded holdings that had performed well for better
investment opportunities. Besides adding stocks in our five areas of emphasis,
we purchased stocks of capital goods, manufacturing, and consumer cyclical firms
that we thought were particularly attractive.
WELL-POSITIONED FOR A SLOWDOWN
As stocks adjust to higher interest rates and a possible slowdown in
growth, the Fund should continue to benefit from its emphasis on stocks with
above-average growth potential and attractive valuations. Because we believe
stocks in the fastest-growing industries will continue to lead the market, we
plan to take advantage of any new investment opportunities in those areas that a
correction might bring. By maintaining a diversified portfolio of stocks in
large companies that are leaders in their faster-growing industries, we believe
the Fund should have the resources to weather any market weakness relatively
well.

1998. HE HAS MANAGED EQUITY PORTFOLIOS SINCE 1989.
GALAXY VIP GROWTH AND INCOME FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGER
GREGORY M. MILLER
The Galaxy VIP Growth and Income Fund seeks a relatively high total return
through long-term capital appreciation and current income. The Fund invests in a
diversified portfolio consisting primarily of common stocks selected through
traditional research techniques. The Fund's modest income orientation is
intended to both enhance returns and dampen stock price volatility.
With investors favoring growth stocks over value-oriented stocks for most
of 1999, we tried to enhance the Fund's returns by taking advantage of the many
attractive investment opportunities that became available and reducing holdings
in stocks whose price gains had diminished their performance potential. As a
result of this approach, the Fund earned a total return of 7.10% for the 12
months ended December 31, 1999. Over the same period, the S&P 500 Index had a
total return of 21.03%, and the average multi-cap value fund tracked by Lipper
had a total return of 7.78%.
ENERGY STOCKS ENHANCE RETURNS
For most of the year, the Fund benefited from an overweighted energy
position that produced strong returns as oil prices rebounded. Although the Fund
was underweighted in technology and communications stocks, due to their very
high valuations, individual holdings in these sectors contributed positively to
performance, particularly in the second half of the year. Of further help were
gains by selected transportation, retail, and cyclical issues and
underweightings in the lesser-performing utility and consumer staples groups.
These positives helped offset lagging returns from technology and health care
stocks in the first half of the year and financial and cyclical stocks in the
second half.
During the first half of 1999, we used profits from health care, capital
goods, and consumer cyclical stocks to buy stocks of consumer staples firms and
other stocks with attractive price potential. In the third quarter, we continued
to take profits in health care stocks, while trimming banking and technology
stocks that had performed well. This let us increase other technology positions,
as well as selected energy holdings. With further profits from technology stocks
in the fourth quarter, we continued to add energy stocks, as well as stocks of
many individual issues that were particularly attractive.
VALUE OF HOLDINGS ESPECIALLY STRONG
It is difficult to know when value investing will again be in favor. If
the market experiences a correction before then, the Fund should benefit from
investments that are more attractive than they have been for some time.
Eventually, a strong long-term outlook for corporate earnings could lay the
foundation for better performance by attractively-priced investments. With its
emphasis on stocks whose prices are particularly appealing, the Fund should be
well positioned for such a turnaround.

ADVISORS INC., AND ITS PREDECESSORS, SINCE 1976.
GALAXY VIP SMALL COMPANY
GROWTH FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGER
STEPHEN D. BARBARO
The Galaxy VIP Small Company Growth Fund seeks to provide capital
appreciation by investing primarily in the securities of companies with market
capitalizations of $1.5 billion or less.
A heavy weighting in technology stocks, which dominated the gains for
small-company issues during the reporting period, helped the Fund far outpace
its market benchmarks during that time. Of particular benefit were sizable
investments in leading-edge technology firms, which outperformed technology
stocks as a whole.
For the 12 months ended December 31, 1999, the Fund earned a total return
of 67.49%. That compares to an average total return of 62.63% for small-cap
growth funds tracked by Lipper and a total return of 21.26% for the Russell
2000.
GREATER FOCUS ON TECHNOLOGY
Healthy returns from investments in semi-conductor and computer networking
stocks boosted Fund returns in the first half of the year. Of additional benefit
were overweightings in the robust capital goods and communication sectors, as
well as an increased investment in energy stocks, which rebounded as oil prices
rose.
While remaining focused on stocks with sound fundamentals, we adjusted the
Fund's technology holdings at this time to give less attention to computer
hardware, service, and general software firms and more attention to networking
and semi-conductor companies. Due to the rising cost for fuel, we traded some of
the Fund's trucking positions for stocks of consumer companies and other firms
that could benefit from an improving economic outlook.
Strong returns from technology stocks continued to boost returns in the
second half of the year. Of added benefit was an underweighting in the financial
sector, which underperformed as interest rates rose. As we continued to trade
technology stocks that had performed well for those with better potential, we
increased the Fund's total technology weighting. Due to their extra sensitivity
to economic worries and rising interest rates, we reduced positions in
consumer-oriented stocks.
VALUATIONS REMAIN APPEALING
Despite their strong gains at the end of 1999, the valuations for
small-company stocks remain attractive versus those for large-company issues.
While small-company stocks could be vulnerable to a temporary price correction
if growth should slow, we believe appealing valuations should help the sector
perform well over time. Because technology stocks may be one of the few groups
offering fast-paced growth if the economy cools, even those issues should have
further room to rise. As always we plan to emphasize companies with visible
earnings potential and take advantage of new investment opportunities that
near-term market fluctuations might bring.

For the 12 months ended December 31, 1999, the Fund had a total return of
- -4.13%. Over the same period the National Association of Real Estate Investment
Trusts ("NAREIT") Index earned a total return of -4.62%, and the average real
estate stock fund tracked by Lipper earned a total return of -3.27%.
A STRUGGLING MARKET
The REIT market struggled throughout 1999. Early in the year, strong
levels of new construction raised concerns of an oversupply and a decline in the
growth of project cash flows. As new construction eased in the second quarter,
and investors shifted from larger-cap growth stocks to stocks with greater price
potential, the REIT market rebounded. Of further benefit were filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission revealing that renowned financier Warren
Buffett owned two REIT stocks.
Concerns about overbuilding and falling growth rates resurfaced in the
third quarter, however, causing REIT stocks to give back most of the gains
they'd made. Ongoing growth rate concerns, exacerbated by tax-loss selling in
the fourth quarter, further eroded REIT returns.
In this environment, the Fund benefited from an emphasis on REITs with
larger market capitalizations, which found greater favor with investors. Of
further benefit was the strong performance by many individual issues, as well as
an emphasis on REITs in the better-performing industrial, residential, and
office sectors.
A FAVORABLE BALANCE OF RISK AND REWARD
Although year-over-year growth rates are slowing, we believe that the
fundamentals of the underlying properties in REITs are healthy and should remain
so in the foreseeable future. Also, the shrinking premiums paid for the best
REIT stocks indicate a favorable balance of risk and reward for these
securities. As before, we will focus on REITs with larger capitalizations,
strong management teams, and the best prospects for future growth. The heaviest
concentration of these companies currently appears to be in the office sector,
followed closely by the retail and residential areas.

GALAXY VIP ASSET ALLOCATION FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGER
DON JONES
The Galaxy VIP Asset Allocation Fund seeks a high total return by
providing both current income that is greater than the income for popular stock
market averages, and long-term growth in the value of its assets. The Fund
invests in a diversified portfolio of equity, bond, and short-term obligations.
Over the past year the Fund enjoyed strong performance from many equity
holdings. With stock valuations historically high, however, we kept about 37% of
the portfolio in bonds during the year. We expected bond prices to rally, as
rising interest rates slowed economic growth and bond yields declined. Because
the economy remained strong, however, bond prices kept falling. Although the
Fund had sizable investments in non-government bonds, whose higher yields and
better price performance enhanced returns, the large weighting in bonds
generally caused the Fund to underperform its market benchmarks.
For the 12 months ended December 31, 1999, the Fund earned a total return
of 7.06%. That compares to a total return of 12.55% for the average flexible
portfolio fund tracked by Lipper. The S&P 500 Index, which tracks the
performance of stocks only, earned a total return of 21.03% during the same
time.
FOCUS ON STRONG GROWTH POTENTIAL
Early in 1999, strong performance by overweighted positions in consumer
staples and technology stocks helped Fund returns, along with an underweighting
in the lesser-performing cyclical groups. As brighter economic prospects
broadened investor interests in the second quarter, the Fund benefited from
additions of capital goods stocks that outperformed. During this time, we also
increased positions in stocks of money-center banks and internet firms.
An overweighted position in the robust technology sector helped returns
later in the year, along with strong performance by many retail and oil-service
stocks. As interest rates continued to rise, returns were weakened from poor
performance by an overweighted position in financial firms, as well as the large
bond position. In this environment we took advantage of further opportunities in
money-center banks and technology firms, as well as in consumer and capital
goods stocks that looked attractive.
SLOWER GROWTH COULD BRING NEW OPPORTUNITIES
Given the positive long-term outlook for inflation and earnings, we would
see any temporary market correction as an opportunity to buy stocks of companies
with strong potential for earnings improvement. To take advantage of such
opportunities, we would probably reduce the Fund's cash reserves. If stock
prices became especially appealing, we might also trim the bond portfolio. If
slower growth helps bond prices rally in the meantime, the Fund would benefit
from its large bond position.

MARIE SCHOFIELD HAS MANAGED THE GALAXY VIP HIGH QUALITY BOND FUND SINCE MARCH
1996. SHE HAS MANAGED FIXED-INCOME ASSETS SINCE 1975.
GALAXY VIP HIGH QUALITY
BOND FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGER
MARIE SCHOFIELD
The Galaxy VIP High Quality Bond Fund seeks a high level of current income
consistent with the prudent risk of capital. The Fund invests primarily in U.S.
government securities and corporate issues rated in the four highest
credit-rating categories by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") or
Standard & Poor's Ratings Group ("S&P"), with at least 65% of its total assets
invested in issues rated in the two highest credit-rating categories or unrated
issues of comparable quality.
For the 12 months ended December 31, 1999, the Fund returned -3.78%. That
compares to total returns of -2.15% for the Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate
Bond Index and -2.61% for the average A-rated corporate bond fund tracked by
Lipper. On December 31, 1999, the Fund had a 30-day SEC yield of 6.09%.
NON-TREASURY ISSUES AID RETURNS
As interest rates rose during the period, eroding the prices of bonds, we
used several strategies to enhance Fund returns. With an improving economic
outlook favoring corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, and mortgage-backed
securities, the Fund benefited from increased commitments to these issues and
reduced investments in Treasury bonds. Additions of U.S. government agency
issues also aided returns. Besides better price performance, the increase in
non-Treasury issues helped to boost the Fund's yield. Within the corporate
sector, we focused our purchases on higher-rated issues in the utility,
telecommunications, industrial, retail, drug, and yankee sectors, while avoiding
the interest-sensitive financial area.
During the period, we increased the Fund's duration when interest rates
spiked to historically attractive levels. This further enhanced the Fund's
yield, as well as the potential for price appreciation if bonds rallied. In the
second half of the year, we followed a "barbelled" maturity structure,
emphasizing issues with short and long maturities, and reducing exposure to
intermediate issues. However, the Fund's greater sensitivity to interest rates
in the face of a sustained rate rise had a dampening effect on returns.
POISED FOR A RALLY
With long bond yields at their most attractive levels in many years, we
believe their potential for price appreciation is great due to strong
fundamentals, including reduced Treasury supply and steady demand. Once the
economy begins to slow, corporate bonds could underperform as risk premiums
widen. In anticipation of this, we have reduced the Fund's exposure to corporate
bonds in favor of asset-backed securities and issues of U.S. government
agencies, especially mortgages. With the eventual slowdown of the economy, the
Fund will benefit from its emphasis on high credit quality and long maturity
structure.

GALAXY VIP
COLUMBIA HIGH YIELD FUND II
INVESTMENT MANAGER
JEFFREY L. RIPPEY
The Galaxy VIP Columbia High Yield Fund II seeks high current income with
a secondary objective of capital appreciation. The Fund invests primarily in
high-yielding corporate bonds rated Ba or lower by Moody's ("junk bonds"), with
no more than 10% of its assets in bonds rated below B.
During the 12 months ended December 31, 1999, the Fund had a total return
of 0.56%. That compares to a total return of -0.83% for the Lehman Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index. The Fund's focus on the upper quality tier of the
high-yield market caused it to lag the average high-yield fund tracked by
Lipper, which earned 4.53% during the reporting period. On December 31, 1999,
the Fund had a 30-day SEC yield of 7.31%.
STRONG ECONOMY HELPS HIGH-YIELD SECTOR
With general improvement in the economic outlook during 1999, there was
increased demand for the attractive prices and income offered by high-yielding
bonds. High-yield bonds outperformed investment-grade issues in the first and
second quarters, as investors shunned the safety of U.S. Treasury bonds for more
aggressive investments. The stock market volatility in the third quarter sent
investors back to investment-grade bonds. Renewed optimism about the economy
favored high-yield issues in the fourth quarter.
Throughout the period, we emphasized bonds from the telecommunication,
broad- casting, cable television, and energy sectors. In the first half of the
year, we added bonds issued by telecommunications firms and, with the rebound in
oil prices, increased the Fund's energy holdings. We continued to increase the
Fund's commitment to cable issues later in the year, while also adding
investments in the entertainment sector.
HIGH-YIELD ISSUES STILL ATTRACTIVE
High-yield bonds outperformed during 1999, and we think they remain
attractive versus Treasury securities by historical standards. Because we expect
healthy, if moderating economic growth in coming months, we believe that
high-yield bonds should continue to generate returns that compare favorably with
investment-grade issues.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION
The Galaxy VIP Fund, a Massachusetts business trust (the "Trust"), is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940
Act"), as a diversified open-end, management investment company, for the purpose
of providing a vehicle for the investment of assets of various separate accounts
established to fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance
policies. The accompanying financial statements and financial highlights are
those of the Money Market Fund, Equity Fund, Growth and Income Fund, Small
Company Growth Fund, Columbia Real Estate Equity Fund II, Asset Allocation Fund,
High Quality Bond Fund and Columbia High Yield Fund II (individually a
"Fund,"collectively, the "Funds"), the eight managed investment portfolios
offered by the Trust as of the date of this report.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The
following is a summary of significant accounting policies in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles consistently followed by the Trust in
the preparation of its financial statements.
PORTFOLIO VALUATION: Investments in securities which are traded on a
recognized stock exchange are valued at the last sale price on the securities
exchange on which such securities are primarily traded, or at the last sale
price on the national securities market. Securities traded on over-the-counter
markets are valued at the last sales price. Short-term obligations that mature
in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
Corporate debt securities and debt securities of U.S. issuers (other than
short-term investments), including municipal securities, are valued by an
independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. When, in the
judgment of the service, quoted bid prices for securities are readily available
and are representative of the bid side of the market, these investments are
valued at the mean between quoted bid prices and asked prices. Investments with
prices that cannot be readily obtained, if any, are carried at fair value as
determined by the service based on methods which include consideration of yields
or prices of bonds of comparable quality, coupon maturity and type, indications
as to values from dealers, and general market conditions. All other securities
and assets are appraised at their fair value as determined in good faith under
consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision
of the Board of Trustees. The investments of the Money Market Fund are valued
utilizing the amortized cost valuation method permitted in accordance with Rule
2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This method involves valuing a portfolio security
initially at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to
maturity of any discount or premium.
SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME: Securities transactions are
recorded on a trade date basis. Net realized gains and losses on sales of
securities are determined by the identified cost method. Interest income is
recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date.
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Dividends from net investment
income are declared daily and paid monthly with respect to the Money Market
Fund, High Quality Bond Fund and Columbia High Yield Fund II, and declared and
paid quarterly with respect to the Equity Fund, Growth and Income Fund, Small
Company Growth Fund, Columbia Real Estate Equity Fund II, and Asset Allocation
Fund. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually.
Income dividends and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: Each Fund may engage in repurchase agreement
transactions with institutions that the Fund's investment advisor has determined
are credit-worthy. Each repurchase agreement transaction is recorded at cost
plus accrued interest. Each Fund requires that the securities collateralizing a
repurchase agreement transaction be transferred to the Trust's custodian in a
manner that is intended to enable the Fund to obtain those securities in the
event of a counterparty default. The value of the collateral securities is
monitored daily to ensure that the value of the collateral, including accrued
interest, equals or exceeds the repurchase price. Repurchase agreement
transactions involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the
counterparty, including possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund's ability to
dispose of the underlying securities, and a possible decline in the value of the
underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its
rights.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: The Trust treats each Fund as a separate entity for
federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to qualify each year as a
"regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.
By so qualifying, each Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes to the
extent it distributes substantially all of its taxable or tax-exempt income, if
any, for the tax year ending December 31. In addition, by distributing during
each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains
and certain other amounts, if any, each Fund will not be subject to a federal
excise tax. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is recorded.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
EXPENSES: The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and
operations of each Fund. Expenses directly attributable to a particular Fund are
charged to the Fund, while expenses which are attributable to more than one Fund
of the Trust are allocated among the respective Funds.
ORGANIZATION COSTS: Each Fund bears all costs in connection with its
organization, including the fees and expenses of registering and qualifying its
shares for distribution under federal securities laws. All such costs are being
amortized using the straight-line method over a period of five years beginning
with the commencement of each Fund's operation.
3. INVESTMENT ADVISORY, ADMINISTRATION AND OTHER
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Trust has entered into separate investment advisory agreements with Fleet
Investment Advisors Inc. ("Fleet") and Columbia Management Co. ("Columbia").
Fleet and Columbia (the "Investment Advisors") are indirect wholly-owned
subsidiaries of FleetBoston Corporation. Under the terms of its agreement with
the Trust, Fleet provides services for a fee, computed daily and paid monthly,
at an annual rate based upon the following percentages of average daily net
asset value: 0.40% for the Money Market Fund, 0.75% for the Equity, Growth and
Income, Small Company Growth and Asset Allocation Funds and 0.55% for the High
Quality Bond Fund. Under the terms of its agreement with the Trust, Columbia
provides services for a fee, computed daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate
based upon the following percentages of average daily net asset value: 0.75% for
the Columbia Real Estate Equity Fund II and 0.60% for the Columbia High Yield
Fund II (see Note 4).
The Trust and PFPC Inc. (formerly known as First Data Investor Services
Group, Inc.), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of PNC Bank Corp., are parties
to an administration agreement under which PFPC Inc. (the "Administrator")
provides services for a fee, computed daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate
of 0.085% of the first $1 billion of the combined average daily net assets of
the Funds, plus 0.078% of the next $1.5 billion of the combined average daily
net assets of the Funds, plus 0.073% of the combined average daily net assets of
the Funds in excess of $2.5 billion. The minimum aggregate annual fee payable
for administration of the Funds is $100,000. In addition, PFPC Inc. also
provides certain fund accounting and custody administration services pursuant to
certain fee arrangements. Pursuant to these fee arrangements, PFPC
Inc.compensates the Trust's custodian bank, The Chase Manhattan Bank, for its
services. Prior to December 1, 1999, the services described above were provided
by First Data Investor Services Group, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of First
Data Corp. On that date, PFPC Trust Co., a wholly-owned subsidiary of PFPC
Worldwide, Inc. and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of PNC Bank Corp.,
acquired all of the outstanding stock of First Data Investor Services Group Inc.
As part of that transaction, PFPC Inc., also an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary
of PNCBank Corp., was merged into First Data Investor Services Group, Inc.,
which then changed its name to PFPC Inc.
Provident Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), acts as the exclusive
distributor of the Trust's shares. Prior to December 1, 1999, First Data
Distributors, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of First Data Investor Services
Group, Inc., acted as the exclusive distributor of the Trust's shares.
Certain officers of the Trust may be officers of the Administrator. Such
officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving in their respective
roles. No officer, director or employee of the Investment Advisors serves as an
officer, trustee or employee of the Trust. Effective May 28, 1999, each Trustee
is entitled to receive for services as a trustee of the Trust, The Galaxy Fund
("Galaxy") and Galaxy Fund II ("Galaxy II") an aggregate fee of $45,000 per
annum plus certain other fees for attending or participating in meetings as well
as reimbursement for expenses incurred in attending meetings. Prior to May 28,
1999, each Trustee was entitled to receive for services as a trustee of the
Trust, Galaxy and Galaxy II an aggregate fee of $40,000 per annum plus certain
other fees for attending or participating in meetings as well as reimbursement
for expenses incurred in attending meetings. The Chairman of the Boards of

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP,
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
The Galaxy VIP Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolios of investments of The Galaxy VIP Fund (comprising, respectively,
the Money Market Fund, Equity Fund, Growth and Income Fund, Small Company Growth
Fund, Columbia Real Estate Equity Fund II, Asset Allocation Fund, High Quality
Bond Fund and Columbia High Yield Fund II) as of December 31, 1999, and the
related statements of operations, the statements of changes in net assets, and
the financial highlights for the year then ended. These financial statements and
financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial highlights based on our audit. The statements of changes in net assets
for the periods ended December 31, 1998 and the financial highlights for each of
the periods then ended were audited by other auditors whose report dated
February 12, 1999 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements and
financial highlights.
We conducted our audit 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
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included
confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 1999 by correspondence with
the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where
replies from brokers were not received. 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
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each
of the respective portfolios constituting The Galaxy VIP Fund at December 31,
1999, the results of their operations, changes in their net assets and the
financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.
