FORMAT PERMITTED BY INSTRUCTION I.

Item 1. BUSINESS.

The Company is a stock life insurance company incorporated in the state of New York on May 25, 1983 and currently transacts business only in the State of New York. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.), One Sun Life Executive Park, Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts 02481, a stock life insurance company incorporated in Delaware. The Company's ultimate parent was Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada, a life insurance company domiciled in Canada which reorganized from a mutual life insurance company to a stock life insurance company on March 22, 2000. As a result of the demutualization, a new holding company, Sun Life Financial Services of Canada Inc., became the ultimate parent of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada, Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) and the Company. The Company is engaged in the sale of combination fixed and variable annuity contracts, group life and group health insurance contracts. These contracts are sold by insurance agents, some of whom are registered representatives of national and regional stock brokerage firms and brokers.

Item 2. PROPERTIES.

The Company owns no properties. On February 24, 1999, the Company terminated the lease associated with its annuity operations office as it consolidated the functions performed at this facility with its parent company, Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.). After the group sales office lease expired in July 1999, the Company entered into a five-year lease for a facility that combined its group sales office operation and corporate home office.

Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

The Company is engaged in various kinds of routine litigation which, in management's judgment, is not expected to have a material impact on capital and surplus.

Item 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

Omitted pursuant to Instruction I(2)(c) to Form 10-K.

Item 5. MARKET FOR COMPANY'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) and as such there is no market for its common stock. The Company paid no cash dividends to its immediate parent, Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.), during 2001.

Item 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

Omitted pursuant to Instruction I(2)(a) to Form 10-K.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANACIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Pursuant to Instruction I(2)(a) to Form 10-K, the Company elects to omit the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Below is an analysis of the results of operations explaining material changes in the Statement of Income between the years ended December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000.

Cautionary Statement

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 defines forward-looking statements as statements not based on historical fact. This discussion includes forward-looking statements by the Company. These statements relate to such topics as volume growth, market share, and financial goals. It is important to understand that these forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those that the statements anticipate. These risks and uncertainties may concern, among other things:

o	Heightened competition, particularly in terms of price, product features, and distribution capability, which could constrain the Company's growth and profitability.

o	Changes in interest rates and market conditions.

o	Regulatory and legislative developments.

2001 as compared to 2000

The Company had net income of $2,836,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001 as compared to $1,739,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000, a 63% increase. One of the key contributors to the increase was the change from net realized investment losses of $3,079,000 for the year ended 2000 to net realized investment gains in 2001 of $648,000. Offsetting the increased income from net realized gains were lower net investment income, which was unfavorable by $992,000, and reduced fee income, which was unfavorable by $2,426,000. The decrease in fee income is due to lower variable asset account balances in 2001 which, primarily due to unfavorable market conditions, have been reduced by 22% since December 31, 2000.

Total benefits and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2001 were comparable to 2000.

Income From Continuing Operations By Segment

The Company's income from operations reflects the operations of its four business segments: the Wealth Management segment, the Group Protection segment, the Individual Protection segment, and the Corporate segment.

The following table provides a summary of income from continuing operations by segment, which is discussed more fully below.


	2001	2000	$ Change
Wealth Management	$ 194	$ 1,307	$ (1,113)
Group Protection	2,641	1,199	1,442
Individual Protection	(489)	(50)	(439)
Corporate	490	(717)	1,207
	$ 2,836	$ 1,739	$ 1,097

The decrease in Wealth Management net income was due primarily to decreased fee income and lower net investment income. As noted above, fees decline when the variable account assets decrease since they are calculated as a percentage of variable account net assets. Unfavorable market conditions and increased surrenders during 2001 and 2000 have lowered the value of these assets resulting in a 22% decrease since December 31, 2000 and a 31% decrease since December 31, 1999. The decrease in net investment income for the year was due to declining balances in net fixed deposits in the Company's annuity operations. Interest paid to policyholders also decreased due to the lower balances in net fixed deposits, partially offsetting the decreased net investment income.

Net income from the Group Protection segment increased by $1,442,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001 as compared to 2000 due to increased premiums. Rate increases on renewals and new business together with increased volume in the life products and persistency in the life in-force block of business resulted in increased premiums. Claims were comparable to 2000.

The only products available in the Individual Protection segment are those which converted from the Group Protection segment, therefore, there is minimal activity in this segment. The decrease in net income is due to an increase in reserves due to revised mortality assumptions.

The key factors causing the increase in net income in the Corporate segment were increased net realized gains for the year ended December 31, 2001 as compared to 2000.

Retained earnings of the Company at December 31, 2001 and 2000 were $26,095,000 and $23,259,000, respectively. Cash dividends of $4,700,000 and $6,500,000 million were paid to its parent company, Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.), during 2000 and 1999, respectively. No dividends were paid during 2001. The Company's management considers its capital resources to be adequate.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Omitted pursuant to Instruction I(2)(a) to Form 10-K.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Years Ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General

Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York (the "Company") is incorporated as a life insurance company and is currently engaged in the sale of individual fixed and variable annuity contracts, and group life and disability insurance contracts in its state of domicile, New York. The Company's parent, Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.), is ultimately a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life Financial Services of Canada Inc. Sun Life Financial Services of Canada Inc. was formed as a result of the demutualization on March 22, 2000 of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada, which was the Company's ultimate parent at December 31, 1999.

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for stock life insurance companies.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates are those used in determining deferred policy acquisition costs, investment allowances and the liabilities for future policyholder benefits. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Financial Instruments

In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into transactions involving various types of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, investments such as fixed maturities, mortgage loans and equity securities, debt, loan commitments and financial guarantees. These instruments involve credit risk and also may be subject to risk of loss due to interest rate fluctuation. The Company evaluates and monitors each financial instrument individually and, when appropriate, obtains collateral or other security to minimize losses. Financial instruments are more fully described in Note 6.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents primarily include cash, commercial paper, money market investments, and short term bank participations. All such investments have been purchased with maturities of three months or less and are considered cash equivalents for purposes of reporting cash flows.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Years Ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Investments

The Company accounts for its investments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." At the time of purchase, fixed maturity securities are classified based on intent, as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale. In order for the securities to be classified as held-to-maturity, the Company must have positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Securities held-to-maturity are stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums, and accretion of discounts. Securities that do not meet this criteria are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at estimated fair value with changes in unrealized gains or losses reported net of policyholder related amounts and deferred income taxes in a separate component of other comprehensive income. Fair values for publicly traded securities are obtained from external market quotations. For privately placed fixed maturities, fair values are estimated by taking into account prices for publicly traded securities of similar credit risk, maturities repayment, and liquidity characteristics. The Company does not engage in trading activities. All of the Company's fixed maturity securities are available-for-sale. All security transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis.

The Company's accounting policy for impairment requires recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment charge on a security if it is determined that the Company is unable to recover all amounts due under the contractual obligations of the security. In addition, for securities expected to be sold, an other-than-temporary impairment charge is recognized if the Company does not expect the fair value of a security to recover to cost or amortized cost prior to the expected date of sale. Once an impairment charge has been recorded, the Company then continues to review the other-than-temporarily impaired securities for additional impairment, if necessary.

Mortgage loans are stated at unpaid principle balances, net of provisions for estimated losses. Mortgage loans acquired at a premium or discount are carried at amortized values net of provisions for estimated losses. Loans include commercial first mortgage loans and are diversified by property type and geographic area throughout the United States. Mortgage loans are collateralized by the related properties and generally are no more than 70% of the properties' value at the time that the original loan is made.

A loan is recognized as impaired when it is probable that the principal or interest is not collectible in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. Measurement of impairment is based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or at the loan's observable market price. A specific valuation allowance is established if the fair value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded amount. Loans are also charged against the allowance when determined to be uncollectible. The allowance is based on a continuing review of the loan portfolio, past loss experience and current economic conditions, which may affect the borrower's ability to pay. While management believes that it uses the best information available to establish the allowance, future adjustments to the allowance may become necessary if economic conditions differ from the assumptions used in making the evaluation.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Years Ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Policy loans are carried at the amount of outstanding principal balance not in excess of net cash surrender values of the related insurance policies.

Investment income is recognized on an accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on the sales of investments are recognized in operations at the date of sale and are determined using the specific cost identification method. When an impairment of a specific investment or a group of investments is determined to be other-than-temporary, a realized investment loss is recorded. Changes in the provision for estimated losses on mortgage loans and real estate are included in net realized investment gains and losses.

Interest income on loans is recorded on the accrual basis. Loans are placed in a non-accrual status when management believes that the borrower's financial condition, after giving consideration to economic and business conditions and collection efforts, is such that collection of principal and interest is doubtful. When a loan is placed in non-accrual status, all interest previously accrued is reversed against current period interest income. Interest accruals are resumed on such loans only when they are brought fully current with respect to principle and interest, have performed on a sustained basis for a reasonable period of time, and when, in the judgement of management, the loans are estimated to be fully collectible as to both principal and interest.

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs

Acquisition costs consist of commissions, underwriting and other costs that vary with and are primarily related to the production of new business. Acquisition costs related to investment-type contracts, primarily deferred annuity and guaranteed investment contracts, are deferred and amortized with interest in proportion to the present value of estimated gross profits to be realized over the estimated lives of the contracts. Estimated gross profits are composed of net investment income, net realized investment gains and losses, life and variable annuity fees, surrender charges and direct variable administrative expenses. This amortization is reviewed quarterly and adjusted retrospectively by a cumulative charge or credit to current operations when the Company revises its estimate of current or future gross profits to be realized from this group of products, including realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments.

Deferred acquisition costs for each product are reviewed to determine if they are recoverable from future income, including investment income. If such costs are determined to be unrecoverable, they are expensed at the time of determination. Although realization of deferred policy acquisition costs is not assured, the Company believes it is more likely than not that all of these costs will be realized. The amount of deferred policy acquisition costs considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if the estimates of gross profits discussed above are reduced.

Other Assets

Property, equipment, and leasehold improvements, which are included in other assets, are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line or accelerated method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which generally range from 3 to 10 years.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Years Ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Amortization of leasehold improvements is provided using the straight-line method over the lesser of the term of the leases or the estimated useful life of the improvements. Reinsurance receivables from reinsurance ceded are also included in other assets.

Policy liabilities and accruals

Future contract and policy benefits are liabilities for traditional life, health and annuity products. Such liabilities are established in amounts adequate to meet the estimated future obligations of policies in force. The liabilities associated with traditional life insurance, annuity and disability insurance products are computed using the net level premium method based on assumptions about future investment yields, mortality, morbidity and persistency. The assumptions used are based upon the Company's experience and industry standards.

Contractholder deposit funds consist of policy values that accrue to the holders of investment-related products such as deferred annuities and guaranteed investment contracts. The liabilities are determined using the retrospective deposit method and consist of net deposits and investment earnings less administrative charges. The liability is before the deduction of any applicable surrender charges.

Other policy liabilities include liabilities for policy and contract claims. These amounts consist of the estimated amount payable for claims reported but not yet settled and an estimate of claims incurred but not reported. The amount reported is based upon historical experience, adjusted for trends and current circumstances. Management believes that the recorded liability is sufficient to provide for the associated claims adjustment expenses. Revisions of these estimates are included in operations in the year such refinements are made.

Revenue and Expenses

Premiums for traditional individual life and annuity products are considered revenue when due. Premiums related to group disability insurance are recognized as revenue pro-rata over the contract period. The unexpired portion of these premiums is recorded as unearned premiums. Revenue from investment-related products includes charges for cost of insurance (mortality), initiation and administration of the policy and surrender charges. Revenue is recognized when the charges are assessed, except that any portion of an assessment that relates to services to be provided in future years is deferred and recognized over the period during which the services are provided.

Other than deferred policy acquisition costs, benefits and expenses related to traditional life, annuity, and disability contracts, including group policies, are recognized when incurred in a manner designed to match them with related premium revenue and spread income recognition over expected policy lives. For investment-type contracts, benefits include interest credited to policyholders' accounts and death benefits in excess of account values, which are recognized as incurred.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Income Taxes

The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return with its parent, Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.), and other affiliates. Deferred income taxes are generally recognized when assets and liabilities have different value for financial statement and tax reporting purposes, and for other temporary taxable and deductible differences as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." These differences result primarily from policy reserves, policy acquisition expenses and unrealized gains or losses on investments.

Separate Accounts

The Company has established separate accounts applicable to various classes of contracts providing for variable benefits and they are generally not chargeable with liabilities that arise from any other business of the Company. Separate account assets are subject to general account claims only to the extent the value of such assets exceeds the separate account liabilities. Contracts for which funds are invested in separate accounts include individual qualified and non-qualified variable annuity contracts. Assets and liabilities of the separate accounts, representing net deposits and accumulated net investment earnings, less fees, held primarily for the benefit of contractholders, are shown as separate captions in the financial statements. Assets held in the separate accounts are carried at market value and the investment risk of such securities is retained by the policyholder.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities including fair value hedges and cash flow hedges. All derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, will be required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. For a derivative that does not qualify as a hedge, changes in fair value will be recognized in earnings.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No. 138, on January 1, 2001. The Company did not use derivative contracts during the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, therefore, adoption had no material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

During 2001, the Company adopted the requirements of Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 102, "Selected Loan Loss Allowance and Documentation Issues". The adoption had no material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

In July 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached consensus on Issue No. 99-20, "Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Certain Investments". This pronouncement requires investors in certain asset-backed securities to record changes in their estimated yield on a prospective basis and to evaluate these securities for an other-than-temporary decline in value. This consensus is effective for financial statements with fiscal quarters beginning after December 15, 2000. On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted EITF No. 99-20. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" which replaces SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Services of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities". This standard revises the methods for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral as outlined in SFAS No. 125, and requires certain additional disclosures. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 "Business Combinations", SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", and SFAS 143 "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." These Statements are not applicable to the Company.

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". This statement supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." This statement is not applicable to the Company.

In September 2001, the EITF discussed Issue No. 01-10 "Accounting for the Impact of the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001" which gives accounting guidance and recommended disclosures. Following this guidance, the Company has reviewed its insurance contracts to quantify potential losses, if any, as a result of the tragedy and has determined that there were no material claims exposure to the Company. The national tragedy of September 11, 2001 has also had an adverse impact on the airline, hotel and hospitality businesses. Although the Company has investments associated with these industries, it has determined that there are no current recoverability issues. The Company will continue to monitor these investments to determine if any adjustments for other-than-temporary declines due to the decrease in market value are necessary.

2. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Company has an agreement with Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada, which provides that Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada will furnish, as requested, personnel as well as certain services and facilities on a cost-reimbursement basis. Expenses under this agreement amounted to approximately $2,046,000, $1,367,000, and $2,045,000 in 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. The Company also has an agreement with Sun life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.), its parent, whereby its parent will furnish, as requested, personnel as well as certain services and facilities on a cost-reimbursement basis. Expenses under this agreement totaled $1,750,000, $1,918,000, and $3,507,000 in 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.

3. INVESTMENTS (Continued)

The amortized cost and estimated fair value by maturity periods for fixed maturities are shown below (in 000's). Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities on asset-backed securities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties, or the Company may have the right to put or sell the obligations back to the issuers.

		December 31, 2001
		Amortized Cost	Fair Value
Maturities of available-for-sale fixed securities:
	Due in one year or less	$ 16,742	$ 16,350
	Due after one year through five years	33,555	34,415

Subtotal		87,554	89,405
Asset-backed securities		19,385	19,692
Total		$ 106,939	$ 109,097

Gross gains of $788,000, and $137,000 and gross losses of $135,000, and $1,742,000 were realized on the voluntary sale of fixed maturities for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Fixed maturities with an amortized cost of approximately $403,000 and $404,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, were on deposit with governmental authorities as required by law.

As of December 31, 2001, 95% of the Company's fixed maturities were investment grade and there were no significant concentrations by issuer or by industry, other than U.S. Treasury securities. Investment grade securities are those that are rated "BBB" or better by nationally recognized rating agencies. During 2001 and 2000, the Company incurred realized losses totaling $550,000 and $1,468,000, respectively, for other-than-temporary impairment of value of some of its fixed maturities after determining that not all of the unrealized losses were temporary in nature. During 2001, $617,000 of the 2000 losses were recovered and are included in realized gains.

Mortgage loans

The Company invests in commercial first mortgage loans throughout the United States. Investments are diversified by property type and geographic area. Mortgage loans are collateralized by the related properties and generally are no more than 70% of the properties' value at the time that the original loan is made.

The Company monitors the condition of the mortgage loans in its portfolio. In those cases where mortgages have been restructured, appropriate allowances for losses have been made. In those cases where, in management's judgement, the mortgage loan's value has been impaired, appropriate losses are recorded. The Company had no restructured or impaired mortgage loans at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, nor any allowances for losses or reserves for impaired loans.

6. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments at December 31, 2001 and 2000 (in 000's):

		December 31, 2001		December 31, 2000
		Carrying	Estimated	Carrying	Estimated
		Amount	Fair Value	Amount	Fair Value
Financial assets:
	Cash and cash equivalents	$ 9,107	$ 9,107	$ 7,292	$ 7,292
	Fixed maturities	109,097	109,097	110,843	110,843

	Policy loans	413	413	541	541
	Short-term investments	17,757	17,757	16,001	16,001

Financial liabilities:
	Contractholder deposit funds	$ 79,761	$ 80,163	$ 95,508	$ 94,447
	Fixed annuity contracts	7,539	7,503	8,530	8,219

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents are estimated to be cost plus accrued interest which approximates fair value. The fair values of short-term bonds are estimated to be the amortized cost. The fair values of publicly traded fixed maturities are based upon market prices or dealer quotes. For privately placed fixed maturities, fair values are estimated by taking into account prices for publicly traded securities of similar credit risk, maturity, repayment and liquidity characteristics. The fair values of mortgage loans are estimated by discounting future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

Policy loans are stated at unpaid principal balances, which approximate fair value.

The fair values of the Company's general account insurance reserves and contractholder deposits under investment-type contracts (insurance, annuity and pension contracts that do not involve mortality or morbidity risks) are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or surrender values based on interest rates currently being offered for similar contracts with maturities consistent with those remaining for all contracts being valued. Those contracts that are deemed to have short-term guarantees have a carrying amount equal to the estimated market value.

7. REINSURANCE

The Company has an agreement with Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada whereby Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada reinsures the mortality risks of the group life insurance contracts. Under this agreement, certain death benefits are reinsured on a yearly renewable term basis. The agreement provides that Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada will reinsure the mortality risks in excess of $50,000 per policy for group life contracts ceded by the Company.

The Company has an agreement with an unrelated company whereby the unrelated company reinsures the morbidity risks of the group long-term disability contracts. Under this agreement, certain long-term disability benefits are reinsured on a yearly renewable term basis. The agreement provides that the unrelated company will reinsure $4,000 per policy per month for long-term disability contracts ceded by the Company.

The effects of reinsurance were as follows (in 000's):

		For the Years Ended December 31,
		2001	2000	1999

Insurance premiums:
	Direct	$ 22,158	$ 21,484	$ 21,629
	Ceded	2,971	3,674	3,780
Net Premiums		$ 19,187	$ 17,810	$ 17,849

Insurance and other individual policy benefits, and claims:
	Direct	$ 24,487	$ 23,654	$ 23,764
	Ceded	4,962	4,273	3,611
Net policy benefits and claims		$ 19,525	$ 19,381	$ 20,153

The Company is contingently liable for the portion of the policies reinsured under each of its existing reinsurance agreements in the event the reinsurance companies are unable to pay their portion of any reinsured claim. Management believes that any liability from this contingency is unlikely. However, to limit the possibility of such losses, the Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentration of credit risk.

PENSION PLAN

The Company and certain affiliates participate with Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada in a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan covering essentially all employees. Benefits under all plans are based on years of service and employees' average compensation. The Company's funding policies for the pension plans are to contribute amounts which at least satisfy the minimum amount required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"); currently the plans are fully funded. Most pension plan assets consist of separate accounts of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada or other insurance company contracts.

The expected return on plan assets for 2001, 2000 and 1999 was 8.75% and the assumed rate of compensation increase for 2001, 2000 and 1999 was 4.50%.

The Company and certain affiliates also participate with Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada and certain affiliates in a 401(k) savings plan for which substantially all employees are eligible. Under the various plans the Company matches, up to specified amounts, employees' contributions to the plan. The Company's contributions were $6,200, $8,000 and $26,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

OTHER POST-RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

In addition to pension benefits, the Company and certain affiliates provide certain health, dental, and life insurance benefits ("postretirement benefits") for retired employees and dependents. Substantially all employees of the participating companies may become eligible for these benefits if they reach normal retirement age while working for the Company and certain affiliates, or retire early upon satisfying an alternate age plus service condition. Life insurance benefits are generally set at a fixed amount. The following table sets forth the change in other postretirement benefit plans' obligations and assets, as well as the plans' funded status at December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 (in 000's).

The following table sets forth the components of the net periodic postretirement benefit costs for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 (in 000's).

	2001	2000	1999

Net periodic benefit cost	$ 2,346	$ 1,932	$ 1,467

The Company's share of net periodic benefit cost	$ 10	$ 11	$ 9

In order to measure the postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 2001 the Company assumed a 16.0% annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits (5.5% for dental benefits). In addition, medical cost inflation is assumed to be 12% in 2002 and assumed to decrease gradually to 5.5% for 2013 and remain at that level thereafter. Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the health care plans. For example, increasing the health care cost trend rate assumptions by one percentage point in each year would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 2001 by $6.1 million, and the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic postretirement benefit expense for 2001 by $465 thousand. Conversely, decreasing assumed rates by one percentage point in each year would decrease the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 2001 by $5.0 million, and the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic postretirement benefit expense for 2001 by $369 thousand. The assumed weighted average discount rate used in determining the postretirement benefit obligation was 7.0% for 2001 and 7.5% for both 2000 and 1999.

9. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return with Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) and other affiliates as previously described in Note 1. Federal income taxes are calculated as if the Company was filing a separate federal income tax return. A summary of the components of federal income tax expense in the statements of income for the years ended December 31, was as follows (in 000's):

	2001	2000	1999
Federal income tax expense:
Current	$ (1,303)	$ 2,112	$ 1,301
Deferred	2,837	(1,154)	879

Total	$ 1,534	$ 958	$ 2,180

Federal income taxes attributable to the operations are different from the amounts determined by multiplying income before federal income taxes by the expected federal income tax rate of 35%. The Company's effective rate differs from the federal income tax rate as follows:

	2001	2000	1999

Expected federal income tax expense	$ 1,529	$ 944	$ 2,322
Other	5	14	(142)

Federal income tax expense	$ 1,534	$ 958	$ 2,180

The net deferred income tax liability represents the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities used for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31 were as follows:

	2001	2000

Deferred tax assets:
Investments, net	$ (619)		$ 650
Actuarial liabilities	3,122		4,442
Total deferred tax assets	2,503		5,092

Deferred tax liabilities:
Deferred policy acquisition costs	(4,885)		(6,418)
Other	(2,298)		(235)

Total deferred tax liabilities	(7,183)		(6,653)

9. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES (Continued)

The Company makes payments under the tax sharing agreements as if it were filing as a separate company. Cash payments to the Company's parent, Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) for federal income taxes were approximately $339,000 and $701,000, for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

The Company's federal income tax returns are routinely audited by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), and provisions are made in the consolidated financial statements in anticipation of the results of these audits. The Company is currently under audit by the IRS for the years 1994 and 1995. In the Company's opinion, adequate tax liabilities have been established for all years and any adjustments that might be required for the years under audit will not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. However, the amounts of these tax liabilities could be revised in the future if estimates of the Company's ultimate liability are revised.

10. LIABILITY FOR UNPAID CLAIMS AND CLAIMS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES

Activity in the liability for unpaid claims and claims adjustment expenses related to the group life and group disability products is summarized below (in 000's):

		2001	2000

Balance at January 1		$ 20,574	$ 17,755
Less reinsurance recoverable		(5,067)	(4,036)
Net balance at January 1		15,507	13,719

Less reinsurance recoverable		(6,078)	(5,067)
Net balance at December 31		$ 17,537	$ 15,507

The Company regularly updates its estimates of liabilities for unpaid claims and claims adjustments expenses as new information becomes available and further events occur which may impact the resolution of unsettled claims for its individual and group disability lines of business. Changes in prior estimates are recorded in results of operations in the year such changes are determined to be needed.

13. REGULATORY FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Company is required to file quarterly and annual statements with the Insurance Department of the State of New York prepared on an accounting basis prescribed or permitted by the State of New York (statutory basis). Statutory net income and capital stock and surplus differ from net income and shareholder's equity reported in accordance with GAAP for stock life insurance companies primarily because, under statutory basis accounting, policy acquisition costs are expensed when incurred, reserves are based on different assumptions, investments are valued differently, post-retirement benefit costs are based on different assumptions and reflect a different method of adoption, and income tax expense reflects only taxes paid or currently payable.

The Company's statutory surplus and net income (loss) are as follows (in thousands):


	Year ended December 31,
	2001	2000	1999

Statutory surplus and capital	$ 40,434	$ 39,560	$ 41,346
Statutory net (loss) income	333	2,589	4,710

Effective January 1, 2001, the State of New York required that insurance companies domiciled in the State of New York prepare their statutory financial statements in accordance with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners' ("NAIC") Accounting Practices and Procedures manual, version effective January 1, 2001, subject to any deviation prescribed or permitted by the State of New York Superintendent of Insurance.

The State of New York has adopted certain prescribed accounting practices that differ from those found in the NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures manual, version effective January 1, 2001. Specifically, paragraphs 5 through 11 and paragraphs 17 through 19 of Statement of Statutory Accounting Principle ("SSAP") No. 10, Income Taxes, were not adopted. In addition, all requirements related to deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities in paragraphs 20 and 21 of SSAP No. 10 were not adopted. The impact of not applying SSAP No. 10 in its entirety was a decrease in statutory surplus of $587,279 for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Accounting changes adopted to conform to the provisions of the NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures manual, version effective January 1, 2001, are reported as changes in accounting principles in the statutory financial statements. The cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles is reported as an adjustment to unassigned funds (surplus) in the period of the change in accounting principle. The cumulative effect is the difference between the amount of capital and surplus at the beginning of the year and the amount of capital and surplus that would have been reported at that date if the new accounting principles had been applied retroactively for all prior periods. As a result of these changes, the Company reported a change in accounting principle in its statutory financial statements, as an adjustment that increased unassigned funds (surplus), of $62,400 as of January 1, 2001. This adjustment is due to the valuation of the Company's obligation for postretirement benefits other than pensions ("PBOP") on a NAIC basis as of January 1, 2001.

14. DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS

The Company's ability to pay dividends is subject to certain restrictions. New York has enacted laws governing the payment of dividends to stockholders by insurers. These laws affect the dividend paying ability of the Company.

On September 20, 2000, New York insurance law was amended to permit a domestic stock life insurance company to distribute a dividend to its shareholders, without notice to the Superintendent of Insurance of the State of New York, where the aggregate amount of such dividend in any calendar year does not exceed the lesser of: (1) ten percent of its surplus to policyholders as of the immediately preceding calendar year; or (2) its net gain from operations for the immediately preceding calendar year, not including realized capital gains. Under the previous law, domestic stock life insurers were prohibited from distributing any dividends to shareholders unless the insurer filed a notice of its intention to declare a dividend and its amount with the Superintendent at least 30 days in advance of the proposed declaration, and such proposed distribution was not disapproved by the Superintendent. Dividends in the amount of $4,700,000 and $6,500,000 were declared and paid during 2000 and 1999, respectively, by the Company to its parent, Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.). These dividends were approved by the Board of Directors and the State of New York Insurance Department. There were no dividends declared or paid during 2001.

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Regulatory and Industry Developments

Unfavorable economic conditions may contribute to an increase in the number of insurance companies that are under regulatory supervision. This may result in an increase in mandatory assessments by state guaranty funds, or voluntary payments by solvent insurance companies to cover losses to policyholders of insolvent or rehabilitated companies. Mandatory assessments, which are subject to statutory limits, can be partially recovered through a reduction in future premium taxes in some states. The Company is not able to reasonably estimate the potential effect on it of any such future assessments.

Litigation

The Company is not aware of any contingent liabilities arising from litigation, income taxes and other matters beyond the ordinary course of business that could have a material effect upon the financial condition of the Company.

Lease Commitments

The Company leases various facilities and equipment under operating leases with terms of up to 10 years. As of December 31, 2001, minimum future lease payments under such leases are as follows (in 000's):


2002	$ 286,264
2003	294,072
2004	196,048
Total	$ 776,384

Total rental expense for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 was $438,000, $419,000, and $565,000, respectively.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York (the "Company") as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related statements of income, stockholder's equity, comprehensive income and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
