Dear Contract Owners:

After an extended rebound in the financial markets, uncertainty returned in 2010 as investors began to question the durability of the recovery for global economies and markets. That uncertainty led to increased risk aversion, especially as investors saw the eurozone struggle with the debt woes of many of its members. In September, the U.S. Federal Reserve Board’s promises to further loosen monetary policy helped assuage market fears and drive asset prices off their recent lows. A combination of solid earnings and improving economic data gave an additional boost to investor sentiment. As we enter 2011, we are cautiously optimistic that economic growth will continue to improve and that the global economies will recover from the shocks of the past few years. We expect the pace of recovery worldwide will be uneven and volatile.

As always, we continue to be mindful of the many economic challenges faced at the local, national, and international levels. It is in times such as these that we want to remind investors of the merits of maintaining a long-term view, adhering to basic investing principles such as asset allocation and diversification, and working closely with their advisors to research and identify appropriate investment opportunities.

Respectfully,

LOGO

Robert J. Manning

(a) The rating categories include debt securities and fixed-income structured products where these have long-term public ratings. All ratings are assigned in accordance with the following hierarchy: If a security is rated by Moody’s, then that rating is used; if not rated by Moody’s, then a Standard & Poor’s rating is used; if not rated by S&P, then a Fitch rating is used. Ratings from Moody’s are shown in the S&P and Fitch scale (e.g., AAA). All ratings are subject to change. U.S. Agency (NR) includes unrated U.S. Agency fixed income securities and collateralized mortgage obligations of U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities. Cash & Other includes cash, other assets less liabilities, offsets to derivative positions, and short-term securities. The fund may not hold all of these instruments.
(d) Duration is a measure of how much a bond’s price is likely to fluctuate with general changes in interest rates, e.g., if rates rise 1.00%, a bond with a 5-year duration is likely to lose about 5.00% of its value due to the interest rate move.
(i) For purposes of this presentation, the components include the market value of securities, and reflect the impact of the equivalent exposure of derivative positions, if applicable. These amounts may be negative from time to time. The bond component will include any accrued interest amounts. Equivalent exposure is a calculated amount that translates the derivative position into a reasonable approximation of the amount of the underlying asset that the portfolio would have to hold at a given point in time to have the same price sensitivity that results from the portfolio’s ownership of the derivative contract. When dealing with derivatives, equivalent exposure is a more representative measure of the potential impact of a position on portfolio performance than market value. Where the fund holds convertible bonds, these are treated as part of the equity portion of the portfolio.
(m) In determining an instrument’s effective maturity for purposes of calculating the fund’s dollar-weighted average effective maturity, MFS uses the instrument’s stated maturity or, if applicable, an earlier date on which MFS believes it is probable that a maturity-shortening device (such as a put, pre-refunding or prepayment) will cause the instrument to be repaid. Such an earlier date can be substantially shorter than the instrument’s stated maturity.

Percentages are based on net assets as of 12/31/10, unless otherwise noted.

Included in each rating category are short-term debt securities, the ratings of which are based on the short-term credit quality ratings of the securities’ issuers. For repurchase agreements, the credit quality is based on the short-term rating of the counterparty with which MFS trades the repurchase agreement. Each short-term debt security is assigned a rating in accordance with the following ratings hierarchy: If the issuer is rated by Moody’s, then that rating is used; if not rated by Moody’s, then a Standard & Poor’s rating is used; if not rated by S&P, then a Fitch rating is used. Cash and other portfolio assets that are not securities are not included in the categories mentioned above. Ratings are converted to the S&P scale and are subject to change.

Market Environment

 

The first quarter of the reporting period witnessed a continuation of the financial market and macroeconomic rebounds that had begun in early 2009. These recoveries in global activity and asset valuations were generally synchronized around the world, led importantly by emerging Asian economies, but broadening to include most of the global economy to varying degrees. Primary drivers of the recoveries included an unwinding of the inventory destocking that took place earlier, the production of manufacturing and capital goods, as well as massive fiscal and monetary stimulus.

During most of the remainder of the period, heightened risk surrounding the public-debt profiles of several of the peripheral European countries impaired market sentiment. At the same time, the improving trend in global macroeconomic data began to weaken somewhat. These two dynamics caused many asset prices to retrench significantly, as many questioned the durability of the global recovery.

Towards the end of the period, the U.S. Federal Reserve led markets to believe that further monetary loosening would be forthcoming if macroeconomic activity did not show signs of improvement. The prospects for more easing by the Fed improved market sentiment and drove risk-asset prices markedly higher. However, in a text-book case of “buy the rumor, sell the fact,” the weeks following the early November announcement of further quantitative easing saw a sell-off in U.S. Treasury bonds. This rise in Treasury yields occurred despite risk-off behavior in equities and credit markets (which would normally result in Treasury yield compression), and appears to have been the result of a few factors: signs of improved U.S. and global economic activity; opposition to quantitative easing from some quarters; and crowded long positions in U.S. Treasuries. The December agreement on an expansionary U.S. fiscal package also boosted sentiment, leading markets to reach near-term highs in risky asset valuations toward year end.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

(1) Business and Organization

Capital Appreciation Variable Account, Global Governments Variable Account, Government Securities Variable Account, High Yield Variable Account, Money Market Variable Account, and Total Return Variable Account (the variable account(s)) are separate accounts established by Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.), the Sponsor, in connection with the issuance of Compass 2 and Compass 3 combination fixed/variable annuity contracts. The variable accounts operate as open-end management investment companies as those terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

(2) Significant Accounting Policies

General – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated subsequent events occurring after the date of the variable accounts’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities through the date that the financial statements were issued. The High Yield Variable Account invests in high-yield securities rated below investment grade. Investments in high-yield securities involve greater degrees of credit and market risk than investments in higher-rated securities and tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions. The Government Securities Variable Account and Total Return Variable Account invest a significant portion of its assets in asset-backed and/or mortgage-backed securities. The value of these securities may depend, in part, on the issuer’s or borrower’s credit quality or ability to pay principal and interest when due and may fall if an issuer or borrower defaults on its obligation to pay principal or interest or if the instrument’s credit rating is downgraded by a credit rating agency. U.S. Government securities not supported as to the payment of principal or interest by the U.S. Treasury, such as those issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Home Loan Banks, are subject to greater credit risk than are U.S. Government securities supported by the U.S. Treasury, such as those issued by Ginnie Mae. The Capital Appreciation Variable Account, Global Governments Variable Account, High Yield Variable Account, and Total Return Variable Account invest in foreign securities, including securities of emerging market issuers. Investments in foreign securities are vulnerable to the effects of changes in the relative values of the local currency and the U.S. dollar and to the effects of changes in each country’s legal, political, and economic environment. The markets of emerging markets countries are generally more volatile than the markets of developed countries with more mature economies. All of the risks of investing in foreign securities previously described are heightened when investing in emerging markets countries.

Investment Valuations – Pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Managers, investments held by the Money Market Variable Account are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Amortized cost involves valuing an instrument at its cost as adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount rather than its current market value. The amortized cost value of an instrument can be different from the market value of an instrument. Equity securities, including restricted equity securities, are generally valued at the last sale or official closing price as provided by a third-party pricing service on the market or exchange on which they are primarily traded. Equity securities, for which there were no sales reported that day, are generally valued at the last quoted daily bid quotation as provided by a third-party pricing service on the market or exchange on which such securities are primarily traded. Equity securities held short, for which there were no sales reported for that day, are generally valued at the last quoted daily ask quotation as provided by a third-party pricing service on the market or exchange on which such securities are primarily traded. Debt instruments and floating rate loans (other than short-term instruments), including restricted debt instruments, are generally valued at an evaluated or composite bid as provided by a third-party pricing service. Short-term instruments with a maturity at issuance of 60 days or less generally are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Exchange-traded options are generally valued at the last sale or official closing price as provided by a third-party pricing service on the exchange on which such options are primarily traded. Exchange-traded options for which there were no sales reported that day are generally valued at the last daily bid quotation as provided by a third-party pricing service on the exchange on which such options are primarily traded. Options not traded on an exchange are generally valued at a broker/dealer bid quotation. Foreign currency options are generally valued at valuations provided by a third-party pricing service. Futures contracts are generally valued at last posted settlement price as provided by a third-party pricing service on the market on which they are primarily traded. Futures contracts for which there were no trades that day for a particular position are generally valued at the closing bid quotation as provided by a third-party pricing service on the market on which such futures contracts are primarily traded. Forward foreign currency contracts are generally valued at the mean of bid and asked prices for the time period interpolated from rates provided by a third-party pricing service for proximate time periods. Open-end investment companies are generally valued at net asset value per share. Securities and other assets generally valued on the basis of information from a third-party pricing service may also be valued at a broker/dealer bid quotation. Values obtained from third-party pricing services can utilize both transaction data and market information such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data. The values of foreign securities and other assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies are converted to U.S. dollars using the mean of bid and asked prices for rates provided by a third-party pricing service.

The Board of Managers has delegated primary responsibility for determining or causing to be determined the value of the variable accounts’ investments (including any fair valuation) to the adviser pursuant to valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board. If the adviser determines that reliable market quotations are not readily available, investments are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser in accordance with such procedures under the oversight of the Board of Managers. Under the variable accounts’ valuation policies and procedures, market quotations are not considered to be readily available for most types of debt instruments and floating rate loans and many types of derivatives. These investments are generally valued at fair value based on information from third-party pricing services. In addition, investments may be valued

at fair value if the adviser determines that an investment’s value has been materially effected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded (such as foreign exchange or market) and prior to the determination of the variable accounts’ net asset value, or after the halting of trading of a specific security where trading does not resume prior to the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded. Events that occur on a frequent basis after foreign markets close (such as developments in foreign markets and significant movements in the U.S. markets) and prior to the determination of the variable accounts’ net asset value may be deemed to have a material effect on the value of securities traded in foreign markets. Accordingly, the variable accounts’ foreign equity securities may often be valued at fair value. The adviser generally relies on third-party pricing services or other information (such as the correlation with price movements of similar securities in the same or other markets; the type, cost and investment characteristics of the security; the business and financial condition of the issuer; and trading and other market data) to assist in determining whether to fair value and at what value to fair value an investment. The value of an investment for purposes of calculating each variable accounts’ net asset value can differ depending on the source and method used to determine value. When fair valuation is used, the value of an investment used to determine each variable accounts’ net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same investment. There can be no assurance that the variable accounts could obtain the fair value assigned to an investment if it were to sell the investment at the same time at which each variable account determines its net asset value per share.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of each variable account’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are categorized into three broad levels. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The variable accounts’ assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment. Level 1 includes unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes other significant observable market-based inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speed, and credit risk). Level 3 includes unobservable inputs, which may include the adviser’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in total investments, such as futures and forwards. The following is a summary of the levels used as of December 31, 2010 in valuing each variable account’s assets or liabilities:

Repurchase Agreements – The Money Market Variable Account entered into repurchase agreements with approved counterparties. Each repurchase agreement is recorded at cost. The variable account requires that the securities collateral in a repurchase transaction be transferred to a custodian. The variable account monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure that its value, including accrued interest, is greater than amounts owed to the variable account under each such repurchase agreement. The variable account and other funds managed by MFS may utilize a joint trading account for the purpose of entering into one or more repurchase agreements.

Inflation-Adjusted Debt Securities – The Global Governments Variable Account, Government Securities Variable Account, and Total Return Variable Account invest in inflation-adjusted debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury. The variable accounts may also invest in inflation-adjusted debt

securities issued by U.S. Government agencies and instrumentalities other than the U.S. Treasury and by other entities such as U.S. and foreign

corporations and foreign governments. The principal value of these debt securities is adjusted through income according to changes in the Consumer Price Index or another general price or wage index. These debt securities typically pay a fixed rate of interest, but this fixed rate is applied to the inflation-adjusted principal amount. The principal paid at maturity of the debt security is typically equal to the inflation-adjusted principal amount, or the security’s original par value, whichever is greater. Other types of inflation-adjusted securities may use other methods to adjust for other measures of inflation.

Foreign Currency Translation – Purchases and sales of foreign investments, income, and expenses are converted into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions or on the reporting date for foreign denominated receivables and payables. Gains and losses attributable to foreign currency exchange rates on sales of securities are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. Gains and losses attributable to foreign exchange rate movements on receivables, payables, income and expenses are recorded for financial statement purposes as foreign currency transaction gains and losses. That portion of both realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.

Derivatives – The Global Governments Variable Account, Government Securities Variable Account, and High Yield Variable Account use derivatives for different purposes, including to earn income and enhance returns, to increase or decrease exposure to a particular market, to manage or adjust the risk profile of the variable accounts, or as alternatives to direct investments. Derivatives may be used for hedging or non-hedging purposes. While hedging can reduce or eliminate losses, it can also reduce or eliminate gains. When the variable accounts use derivatives as an investment to increase market exposure, or for hedging purposes, gains and losses from derivative instruments may be substantially greater than the derivative’s original cost.

Derivative instruments used by the variable accounts during the period include purchased options, futures contracts, and forward foreign currency exchange contracts. The Global Governments Variable Account, Government Securities Variable Account, and High Yield Variable Account period end derivatives, as presented in the Portfolios of Investments and the associated Derivative Contract Tables, generally are indicative of the volume of their derivative activity during the period.

The following tables present, by major type of derivative contract, the fair value, on a gross basis, of the asset and liability components of derivatives held by the Global Governments Variable Account, Government Securities Variable Account, and High Yield Variable Account at December 31, 2010 as reported in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities:

For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Capital Appreciation Variable Account, Money Market Variable Account, and Total Return Variable Account did not invest in any derivative instruments.

Derivative counterparty credit risk is managed through formal evaluation of the creditworthiness of all potential counterparties. On certain over-the-counter derivatives, Global Governments Variable Account, Government Securities Variable Account, and High Yield Variable Account attempt to reduce its exposure to counterparty credit risk whenever possible by entering into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) Master Agreement on a bilateral basis with each of the counterparties with whom it undertakes a significant volume of transactions. The ISDA Master Agreement gives each party to the agreement the right to terminate all transactions traded under such agreement if there is a certain deterioration in the credit quality of the other party. The ISDA Master Agreement gives the variable accounts the right, upon an event of default by

 

52


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements — continued

 

the applicable counterparty or a termination of the agreement, to close out all transactions traded under such agreement and to net amounts owed under each transaction to one net amount payable by one party to the other. This right to close out and net payments across all transactions traded under the ISDA Master Agreement could result in a reduction of the variable accounts’ credit risk to such counterparty equal to any amounts payable by the variable account under the applicable transactions, if any. However, absent an event of default by the counterparty or a termination of the agreement, the ISDA Master Agreement does not result in an offset of reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities across transactions between the variable accounts and the applicable counterparty.

Collateral requirements differ by type of derivative. Collateral or margin requirements are set by the broker or exchange clearing house for exchange traded derivatives (i.e., futures and exchange-traded options) while collateral terms are contract specific for over-the-counter traded derivatives (i.e., forwards, swaps and over-the-counter options). For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are netted across all transactions traded under such agreement and one amount is posted from one party to the other to collateralize such obligations. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the variable accounts under derivative contracts, if any, will be reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as restricted cash. Securities collateral pledged for the same purpose, if any, is noted in the Portfolios of Investments.

Purchased Options – The Global Governments Variable Account and High Yield Variable Account purchased call and/or put options for a premium. Purchased call and put options entitle the holder to buy and sell a specified number of shares or units of a particular security, currency or index at a specified price at a specified date or within a specified period of time. Purchasing call options may be used to hedge against an anticipated increase in the dollar cost of securities or currency to be acquired or to increase the variable accounts’ exposure to an underlying instrument. Purchasing put options may hedge against a decline in the value of portfolio securities or currency.

The premium paid is initially recorded as an investment in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. That investment is subsequently marked-to-market daily with the difference between the premium paid and the market value of the purchased option being recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Premiums paid for purchased call and put options which have expired are treated as realized losses on investments in the Statements of Operations. Upon the exercise or closing of a purchased call option, the premium paid is added to the cost of the security or financial instrument. Upon the exercise or closing of a purchased put option, the premium paid is offset against the proceeds on the sale of the underlying security or financial instrument in order to determine the realized gain or loss on investments.

The risk in purchasing an option is that the variable accounts pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The variable accounts’ maximum risk of loss due to counterparty credit risk is limited to the market value of the option. For over-the-counter options, this risk is mitigated in cases where there is an ISDA Master Agreement between the variable accounts and the counterparty providing for netting as described above and for posting of collateral by the counterparty to the variable accounts to cover the variable accounts’ exposure to the counterparty under such ISDA Master Agreement.

Futures Contracts – The Government Securities Variable Account and High Yield Variable Account entered into futures contracts which may be used to gain or to hedge against broad market, interest rate or currency exposure. A futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the variable accounts are required to deposit with the broker, either in cash or securities, an initial margin in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the notional amount of the contract. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the variable accounts each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract, and are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gain or loss by the variable accounts until the contract is closed or expires at which point the gain or loss on futures is realized.

The variable accounts bear the risk of interest rates, exchange rates or securities prices moving unexpectedly, in which case, the variable accounts may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. While futures may present less counterparty risk to the variable accounts since the contracts are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse guarantees payments to the broker, there is still counterparty credit risk due to the insolvency of the broker. The variable accounts’ maximum risk of loss due to counterparty credit risk is equal to the margin posted by the variable accounts to the broker plus any gains or minus any losses on the outstanding futures contracts.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts – The Global Governments Variable Account and High Yield Variable Account entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. These contracts may be used to hedge the variable accounts’ currency risk or for non-hedging purposes. For hedging purposes, the variable accounts may enter into contracts to deliver or receive foreign currency that the variable accounts will receive from or use in its normal investment activities. The variable accounts may also use contracts to hedge against declines in the value of foreign currency denominated securities due to unfavorable exchange rate movements. For non-hedging purposes, the variable accounts may enter into contracts with the intent of changing the relative exposure of the variable accounts’ portfolio of securities to different currencies to take advantage of anticipated exchange rate changes.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any unrealized gains or losses are recorded as a receivable or payable for forward foreign currency exchange contracts until the contract settlement date. On contract settlement date, any gain or loss on the contract is recorded as realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions.

Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from unanticipated movements in the value of the contract and from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. Generally, the variable accounts’ maximum risk due to counterparty credit risk is the unrealized

gain on the contract due to our use of continuous linked settlement, an industry accepted settlement system. This risk is mitigated in cases where there is an ISDA Master Agreement between the variable accounts and the counterparty providing for netting as described above and for posting of collateral by the counterparty to the variable accounts to cover the variable accounts’ exposure to the counterparty under such ISDA Master Agreement.

Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments – The High Yield Variable Account invests in loans and loan participations or other receivables. These investments may include standby financing commitments, including revolving credit facilities, which obligate the variable account to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Loan participations involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other financial intermediary.

Indemnifications – Under the variable accounts’ organizational documents, its officers and Managers may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the variable accounts. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the variable accounts enter into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The variable accounts’ maximum exposure under these agreements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the variable accounts that have not yet occurred.

Investment Transactions and Income – Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. All premium and discount is amortized or accreted for financial statement purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Certain variable accounts earn certain fees in connection with its floating rate loan purchasing activities. These fees are in addition to interest payments earned and may include amendment fees, commitment fees, facility fees, consent fees, and prepayment fees. Commitment fees are recorded on an accrual basis as income in the accompanying financial statements. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed-income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted upward or downward to the rate of inflation. Interest is accrued based on the principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase or decrease in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond is generally recorded as an increase or decrease in interest income, respectively, even though the adjusted principal is not received until maturity. Dividends received in cash are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividend and interest payments received in additional securities are recorded on the ex-dividend or ex-interest date in an amount equal to the value of the security on such date. Dividends received in cash are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain dividends from foreign securities will be recorded when the variable account is informed of the dividend if such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Dividend and interest payments received in additional securities are recorded on the ex-dividend or ex-interest date in an amount equal to the value of the security on such date. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status or set to accrue at a rate of interest less than the contractual coupon when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful. Interest income for those debt obligations may be further reduced by the write-off of the related interest receivables when deemed uncollectible.

The variable accounts may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received from litigation involving portfolio holdings are reflected in the Statements of Operations in realized gain/loss if the security has been disposed of by the variable account or in unrealized gain/loss if the security is still held by the variable accounts. Any other proceeds from litigation not related to portfolio holdings are reflected as other income in the Statements of Operations.

The Global Governments Variable Account, Government Securities Variable Account, and Total Return Variable Account entered into “TBA” (to be announced) purchase commitments to purchase securities for a fixed unit price at a future date. Although the unit price has been established, the principal value has not been finalized. However, the principal amount of the commitments will not fluctuate more than 0.01%. The variable accounts hold, and maintains until settlement date, cash or high-grade debt obligations in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price, or the variable account may enter into offsetting contracts for the forward sale of other securities it owns. Income on the securities will not be earned until settlement date. TBA purchase commitments may be considered securities in themselves, and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to settlement date, which is in addition to the risk of decline in the value of the variable accounts’ other assets. Unsettled TBA purchase commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities.

The Global Governments Variable Account, Government Securities Variable Account, and Total Return Variable Account entered into “TBA” (to be announced) sale commitments to hedge its portfolio positions or to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed delivery arrangements. Proceeds of TBA sale commitments are not received until the contractual settlement date. During the time a TBA sale commitment is outstanding, equivalent deliverable securities, or an offsetting TBA purchase commitment deliverable on or before the sale commitment date, are held as “cover” for the transaction.

Fees Paid Indirectly – The variable accounts’ custody fee may be reduced according to an arrangement that measures the value of cash deposited with the custodian by the variable accounts. This amount, for the year ended December 31, 2010, is shown as a reduction of total expenses on the Statements of Operations.

Federal Income Taxes – The variable accounts are funding vehicles for individual variable annuities. The operations of the variable accounts are part of the operations of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.), the Sponsor, and are not taxed separately; the variable accounts are not taxed as regulated investment companies. The Sponsor qualifies for the federal income tax treatment granted to life insurance companies under Subchapter L of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary. Foreign taxes have been provided for on interest and dividend income earned on foreign investments in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rates and to the extent unrecoverable are recorded as a reduction of investment income.

(3) Annuity Reserves

Annuity reserves for contracts with annuity commencement dates prior to January 1, 1987 have been calculated using the 1971 Individual Annuitant Mortality Table. Annuity reserves for contracts with annuity commencement dates between January 1, 1987 and December 31, 1998 have been calculated using the 1983 Individual Annuitant Mortality Table. Annuity reserves for contracts with annuity commencement dates on or after January 1, 1999 have been calculated using the Annuity Mortality 2000 table. Annuity reserves for contracts in payment period are calculated using an assumed interest rate of 4%. Required adjustments are accomplished by transfers to or from the Sponsor.

 

(4) Transactions with Affiliates

Investment Adviser – Each variable account has an investment advisory agreement with MFS to provide overall investment management and related administrative services and facilities to the variable accounts. The management fee is computed daily and paid monthly at the following annual rates based on a percentage of each variable account’s average daily net assets:

(a) The investment adviser has agreed in writing to reduce its management fee to 0.70% for the first $300 million of average daily net assets. This written agreement will continue until modified or rescinded by the variable account’s Board of Managers, but such agreement will continue at least until April 30, 2012. This management fee reduction amounted to $20,289, which is shown as a reduction of total expenses in the Statement of Operations.
(b) The investment adviser has agreed in writing to reduce its management fee to 0.45% of average daily net assets in excess of $500 million. This written agreement will continue until modified or rescinded by the variable account’s contract holders. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the variable account’s average daily net assets did not exceed $500 million, and therefore, the management fee was not reduced under this agreement.
(c) During the year ended December 31, 2010, MFS voluntarily waived receipt of $122,209, of the variable account’s management fee in order to avoid a negative yield. For the year ended December 31, 2010, this voluntary waiver had the effect of reducing the management fee by 0.39% of average daily net assets on an annualized basis.

The investment adviser has agreed in writing to pay the variable accounts’ total annual operating expenses, exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, to the extent permitted, extraordinary expenses, mortality and expense risk and distribution expense risk charges, and contract maintenance charges, such that total annual operating expenses do not exceed 1.25% annually of the average daily net assets of each variable account. These agreements are contained in the investment advisory agreement between MFS and the variable accounts and may not be rescinded without contract holder approval. For the year ended December 31, 2010, this reduction amounted to $77,670 for the Global Governments Variable Account and is reflected as a reduction of total expenses in the Statements of Operations. Each of the other variable accounts did not exceed the limit and therefore, the investment adviser did not pay any portion of the variable accounts’ expenses under this agreement. In addition, the investment adviser has agreed in writing to pay a portion of total annual operating expenses of the variable accounts listed below, exclusive of interest, taxes, extraordinary expenses, brokerage and transaction costs, mortality and expense risk and distribution expense risk charges, contract maintenance charges, and investment-related expenses, such that the total annual operating expenses of these variable accounts do not exceed the expense limitations indicated below, based on the average daily net assets of such variable accounts. These written agreements will continue until April 30, 2012, except for the Capital Appreciation Variable Account whose written agreement will terminate on April 30, 2011. For the year ended December 31, 2010, these reductions under this agreement amounted to the following for each variable account and are reflected as a reduction of total expenses in the Statements of Operations:

 

      Expense Limitation     Expense Reduction  

Capital Appreciation Variable Account

     0.82   $ 73,102   

High Yield Variable Account

     0.90     48,361   

Money Market Variable Account

     0.65     32,691   

Total Return Variable Account

     0.85     83,336   

Contract Charges – The Sponsor makes a deduction from the variable accounts at the end of each valuation period, during both the accumulation period and after annuity payments begin, for assuming the mortality and expense risks under the contracts. The rate of the deduction may be changed annually but in no event may it exceed 1.25% of the average net assets of each variable account attributable to Compass 3 contracts, or, with respect to Compass 2 contracts, 1.30% of the assets of Capital Appreciation Variable Account, Government Securities Variable Account, High Yield Variable Account, and Money Market Variable Account, or 1.25% of the assets of Global Governments Variable Account, and Total Return Variable Account attributable to such contracts.

For assuming the distribution expense risk under Compass 3 contracts, the Sponsor makes a deduction from the variable accounts at the end of each valuation period for the first seven contract years at an effective annual rate of 0.15% of the net assets of the variable accounts attributable to

 

55


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements — continued

 

such contracts. Contracts are transferred from Compass 3 to Compass 3 – Level 2 in the month following the seventh contract anniversary. No deduction is made after the seventh contract anniversary. No deduction is made with respect to assets attributable to Compass 2 contracts.

Each year, on the contract anniversary, a contract maintenance charge of $25 with respect to Compass 2 contracts and $30 with respect to Compass 3 contracts is deducted from each contract’s accumulation account and paid the Sponsor to cover administrative expenses relating to the contract. After the annuity commencement date, the annual contract maintenance charge is deducted pro rata from each annuity payment made during the year.

The Sponsor does not deduct a sales charge from purchase payments. However, a withdrawal charge (contingent deferred sales charge) may be deducted to cover certain expenses relating to the sale of the contract. In no event shall the aggregate withdrawal charges (including the distribution expense charge described above applicable to Compass 3 contracts) exceed 5% of the purchase payments made under a Compass 2 contract or 9% of the purchase payments made under a Compass 3 contract.

Administrator – MFS provides certain financial, legal, shareholder communications, compliance, and other administrative services to the variable accounts. Under an administrative services agreement, the variable accounts partially reimburse MFS the costs incurred to provide these services. The variable accounts are charged an annual fixed amount of $10,000 plus a fee based on average daily net assets. The administrative services fee incurred for the year ended December 31, 2010 was equivalent to the following annual effective rate of each variable account’s average daily net assets:

Managers’ and Officers’ Compensation – Each variable account pays compensation to managers in the form of a retainer, attendance fees, and additional compensation to the Board chairperson. Each variable account does not pay compensation directly to officers who are affiliated with the Investment Adviser or the Sponsor all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the variable account from MFS. Certain officers of the variable accounts are officers or directors of MFS, MFD (MFS Distributors, Inc.), and MFSC (MFS Service Center, Inc.).

Other – These variable accounts and certain other funds managed by MFS (the funds) have entered into services agreements (the Agreements) which provide for payment of fees by the funds to Tarantino LLC and Griffin Compliance LLC in return for the provision of services of an Independent Chief Compliance Officer (ICCO) and Assistant ICCO, respectively, for the funds. The ICCO and Assistant ICCO are officers of the funds and the sole members of Tarantino LLC and Griffin Compliance LLC, respectively. The funds can terminate the Agreements with Tarantino LLC and Griffin Compliance LLC at any time under the terms of the Agreements. MFS has agreed to bear all expenses associated with office space, other administrative support, and supplies provided to the ICCO and Assistant ICCO. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the aggregate fees paid by the variable accounts to Tarantino LLC and Griffin Compliance LLC which are included in miscellaneous expense on the Statements of Operations were as follows:

(7) Line of Credit

The variable accounts and certain other funds managed by MFS participate in a $1.1 billion unsecured committed line of credit, subject to a $1 billion sublimit, provided by a syndication of banks under a credit agreement. Borrowings may be made for temporary financing needs. Interest is charged to each fund, based on its borrowings, generally at a rate equal to the higher of the Federal Reserve funds rate or one month LIBOR plus an agreed upon spread. A commitment fee, based on the average daily, unused portion of the committed line of credit, is allocated among the participating funds at the end of each calendar quarter. In addition, the variable accounts and other funds managed by MFS have established unsecured uncommitted borrowing arrangements with certain banks for temporary financing needs. Interest is charged to each fund, based on its borrowings, at a rate equal to the Federal Reserve funds rate plus an agreed upon spread. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the variable accounts’ commitment fee and interest expense are included in miscellaneous expense on the Statements of Operations and were as follows:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Participants in and the Board of Managers of Capital Appreciation Variable Account, Global Governments Variable Account, Government Securities Variable Account, High Yield Variable Account, Money Market Variable Account and Total Return Variable Account and the Board of Directors of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.):

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Capital Appreciation Variable Account, Global Governments Variable Account, Government Securities Variable Account, High Yield Variable Account, Money Market Variable Account and Total Return Variable Account (the “Variable Accounts”) as of December 31, 2010, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Variable Accounts’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (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. The Variable Accounts are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Variable Accounts’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide 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 positions of Capital Appreciation Variable Account, Global Governments Variable Account, Government Securities Variable Account, High Yield Variable Account, Money Market Variable Account and Total Return Variable Account as of December 31, 2010, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreements

 

The Investment Company Act of 1940 requires that both the full Board of Managers and a majority of the non-interested (“independent”) Managers, voting separately, annually approve the continuation of each Variable Account’s investment advisory agreement with Massachusetts Financial Services Company (“MFS”). The Managers consider matters bearing on the Variable Accounts and their advisory arrangements at their meetings throughout the year, including a review of performance data at each regular meeting. In addition, the independent Managers met in person in May and again in July 2010 (“contract review meetings”) for the specific purpose of considering whether to approve the continuation of the investment advisory agreements for the Variable Accounts. The independent Managers were assisted in their evaluation of the investment advisory agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately from MFS management during various contract review meetings. The independent Managers were also assisted in this process by the Variable Accounts’ Independent Chief Compliance Officer, a full-time senior officer appointed by and reporting to the independent Managers.

In connection with their deliberations, the Managers, including the independent Managers, considered such information and factors as they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them and their own business judgment, to be relevant. Each investment advisory agreement was considered separately for each Variable Account, although the Managers also took into account the common interests of all Variable Accounts in their review. As described below, the Managers considered the nature, quality, and extent of the various investment advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by MFS under the existing investment advisory agreements and other arrangements with the Variable Accounts.

In connection with their contract review meetings, the Managers received and relied upon materials which included, among other items: (i) information provided by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”) on the investment performance of each Variable Account for various time periods ended December 31, 2009, compared to the investment performance of a group of funds with substantially similar investment classifications/objectives (the “Lipper performance universe”), (ii) information provided by Lipper on each Variable Account’s advisory fees and other expenses compared to the advisory fees and other expenses of comparable funds identified by Lipper (the “Lipper expense group”), (iii) information provided by MFS on the advisory fees of comparable portfolios of its other clients, including institutional separate account and other clients, (iv) information as to whether, and to what extent applicable, expense waivers, reimbursements or fee “breakpoints” are observed for a Variable Account, (v) information regarding MFS’ financial results and financial condition, including MFS’ and certain of its affiliates’ estimated profitability from services performed for the Variable Accounts, (vi) MFS’ views regarding the outlook for the mutual fund industry and its strategic business plans, (vii) descriptions of various functions performed by MFS for the Variable Accounts, such as compliance monitoring and portfolio trading practices, and (viii) information regarding the overall organization of MFS, including information about MFS’ senior management and other personnel providing investment advisory, administrative and other services to the Variable Accounts. The comparative performance, fee and expense information prepared and provided by Lipper was not independently verified, and the independent Managers did not independently verify any information provided to them by MFS.

The Managers’ conclusions as to the continuation of the investment advisory agreements were based on comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Managers and were not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Managers’ deliberations are described below for each Variable Account, while individual Managers may have given different weight to various factors and evaluated the information presented as a whole differently than another Manager. The Managers recognized that the fee arrangements for the Variable Accounts reflect years of review and discussion between the independent Managers and MFS, that certain aspects of such arrangements may receive greater scrutiny in some years than others, and that the Managers’ conclusions may be based, in part, on their consideration of these same arrangements during the course of the year and in prior years.

Based on information provided by Lipper, the Managers compared each Variable Account’s total return investment performance to the performance of its Lipper performance universe over the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2009. The Managers did not rely on performance results for more recent periods, including those shown elsewhere in this report.

In the course of their deliberations, the Managers took into account information provided by MFS during contract review meetings, as well as during investment review meetings conducted with portfolio management personnel during the course of the year. For Variable Accounts whose performance lagged their peer groups, they discussed the factors that contributed thereto and MFS’ efforts to improve such Variable Account’s performance. After reviewing this information, the Managers concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the investment advisory agreements, that they were satisfied with MFS’ responses and efforts relating to investment performance.

In assessing the reasonableness of each Variable Account’s advisory fee, the Managers considered, among other information, each Variable Account’s advisory fee and the total expense ratio as a percentage of average daily net assets, compared to the advisory fees and total expense ratios of peer groups of funds based on information provided by Lipper. The Managers also considered the advisory fees charged by MFS to institutional accounts. In comparing these fees, the Managers considered the generally broader scope of services provided by MFS to the Variable Accounts than those provided to institutional accounts. The Managers also considered the higher demands placed on MFS’ investment personnel and trading infrastructure as a result of the daily cash in-flows and out-flows of the Variable Accounts, and the impact on MFS and related expenses due to the more extensive regulatory regime to which the Variable Accounts are subject, compared to institutional accounts.

The Managers also considered whether a Variable Account is likely to benefit from any economies of scale due to future asset growth. In this regard, the Managers reviewed the adequacy of breakpoints and discussed with MFS any adjustments necessary for the shareholders’ benefit.

The Managers also considered information prepared by MFS relating to its costs and profits with respect to each Variable Account and other investment companies and accounts advised by MFS, as well as MFS’ methodologies used to determine and allocate its costs to the Variable Accounts and other accounts and products for purposes of estimating profitability.

After reviewing these and other factors described below, the Managers concluded that the advisory fees charged to the Variable Accounts represent reasonable compensation in light of the nature and quality of the services being provided by MFS.

In addition, the Managers considered MFS’ resources and related efforts to continue to retain, attract and motivate capable personnel to serve the Variable Accounts. The Managers also considered the financial resources of MFS and its parent, Sun Life Financial Inc. The Managers further considered any advantages and possible disadvantages of having an adviser which also serves other investment companies as well as institutional accounts.

The Managers also considered the nature, quality, cost, and extent of administrative, transfer agency, and distribution services provided to the Variable Accounts by MFS and its affiliates under agreements and plans other than the investment advisory agreements. The Managers also considered the nature, extent and quality of certain other services MFS performs or arranges on the Variable Accounts’ behalf, which may include securities lending programs, directed expense payment programs, class action recovery programs, and MFS’ interaction with third-party service providers, principally custodians and sub-custodians. The Managers concluded that the various non-advisory services provided by MFS and its affiliates on behalf of the Variable Accounts were satisfactory. The Managers also considered the benefits to MFS from the use of the Variable Accounts’ portfolio brokerage commissions to pay for investment research and various other factors. Additionally, the Managers considered so-called “fall-out benefits” to MFS such as reputational value derived from serving as investment manager to the Variable Accounts, and determined that any such benefits derived by MFS were reasonable and fair.

Based on their evaluation of factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described above, the Board of Managers, including a majority of the independent Managers, concluded that the investment advisory agreements should be continued for an additional one-year period, commencing September 1, 2010.

Capital Appreciation Variable Account

The Managers noted the Variable Account’s performance was in the 3rd quintile relative to the other funds in the Lipper performance universe for the one-year period (the 1st quintile being the best performers and the 5th quintile being the worst performers). The total return performance of the Variable Account was in the 1st quintile for the three-year period and the 3rd quintile for the five-year period ended December 31, 2009, relative to the Lipper performance universe. Based on the nature and quality of services provided by MFS, the Board of Managers concluded that the Variable Account’s performance was satisfactory.

In considering the fees, the Managers noted from the Lipper data that the Variable Account’s effective advisory fee and total expense ratio were each approximately at the median of such fees and expenses of funds in the Lipper expense group. In addition, the Managers accepted MFS’ offer to continue its expense limitation for the Variable Account. The Managers further concluded that the existing breakpoint was sufficient to allow the Variable Account to benefit from economies of scale as its assets grow. The Managers concluded that the fees were reasonable in light of the nature and quality of services provided.

Global Governments Variable Account

The Managers noted the Variable Account’s performance was in the 5th quintile relative to the other funds in the Lipper performance universe for the one-year period (the 1st quintile being the best performers and the 5th quintile being the worst performers). The total return performance of the Variable Account was in the 3rd quintile for the three-year period and the 5th quintile for the five-year period ended December 31, 2009, relative to the Lipper performance universe. Based on the nature and quality of services provided by MFS, the Board of Managers concluded that the Variable Account’s performance was adequate.

In considering the fees, the Managers noted from the Lipper data that the Variable Account’s effective advisory fee rate was below the median and total expense ratio was above the median of such fees and expenses of funds in the Lipper expense group. The Managers further concluded that the existing breakpoint was sufficient to allow the Variable Account to benefit from economies of scale as its assets grow. The Managers concluded that the fees were reasonable in light of the nature and quality of services provided.

Government Securities Variable Account

The Managers noted the Variable Account’s performance was in the 3rd quintile relative to the other funds in the Lipper performance universe for the one-year period (the 1st quintile being the best performers and the 5th quintile being the worst performers). The total return performance of the Variable Account was in the 1st quintile for the three and the five-year periods ended December 31, 2009, relative to the Lipper performance universe. Based on the nature and quality of services provided by MFS, the Board of Managers concluded that the Variable Account’s performance was satisfactory.

In considering the fees, the Managers noted from the Lipper data that the Variable Account’s effective advisory fee rate and total expense ratio were each above the median of such fees and expenses of funds in the Lipper expense group. The Managers further concluded that the existing

breakpoint was sufficient to allow the Variable Account to benefit from economies of scale as its assets grow. The Managers concluded that the fees were reasonable in light of the nature and quality of services provided.

High Yield Variable Account

The Managers noted the Variable Account’s performance was in the 2nd quintile relative to the other funds in the Lipper performance universe for the one-year period (the 1st quintile being the best performers and the 5th quintile being the worst performers). The total return performance of the Variable Account was in the 4th quintile for the three-year and the five-year periods ended December 31, 2009, relative to the Lipper performance universe. Based on the nature and quality of services provided by MFS and MFS’ explanation of steps taken to improve performance, the Board of Managers concluded that the Variable Account’s performance was adequate.

In considering the fees, the Managers noted from the Lipper data that the Variable Account’s effective advisory fee rate and total expense ratio were each approximately at the median of such fees and expenses of funds in the Lipper expense group. In addition, the Managers noted that MFS agreed to continue its waiver to reduce its advisory fee on average daily net assets up to $300 million, and they accepted MFS’ offer to continue the expense limitation for the Variable Account. The Managers further concluded that the existing breakpoint was sufficient to allow the Variable Account to benefit from economies of scale as its assets grow. The Managers concluded that the fees were reasonable in light of the nature and quality of services provided.

Money Market Variable Account

The Managers noted the Variable Account’s performance was in the 5th quintile relative to the other funds in the Lipper performance universe for the one-year period (the 1st quintile being the best performers and the 5th quintile being the worst performers). The total return performance of the Variable Account was in the 5th quintile for the three-year period and the 4th quintile for the five-year period ended December 31, 2009, relative to the Lipper performance universe. Based on the nature and quality of services provided by MFS, the Board of Managers concluded that the Variable Account’s performance was adequate.

In considering the fees, the Managers noted from the Lipper data that the Variable Account’s effective advisory fee rate and total expense ratio were each below the median of such fees and expenses of funds in the Lipper expense group. In addition, the Managers noted that MFS agreed to reduce its advisory fee on average daily net assets over $500 million on a permanent basis, requiring shareholder approval for any modification or termination, and they accepted MFS’ offer to continue the expense limitation for the Variable Account. The Managers further concluded that the existing breakpoint was sufficient to allow the Variable Account to benefit from economies of scale as its assets grow. The Managers concluded that the fees were reasonable in light of the nature and quality of services provided.

Total Return Variable Account

The Managers noted the Variable Account’s performance was in the 5th quintile relative to the other funds in the Lipper performance universe for the one-year period (the 1st quintile being the best performers and the 5th quintile being the worst performers). The total return performance of the Variable Account was in the 4th quintile for the three-year and the five-year periods ended December 31, 2009, relative to the Lipper performance universe. Based on the nature and quality of services provided by MFS, the Board of Managers concluded that the Variable Account’s performance was adequate.

In considering the fees, the Managers noted from the Lipper data that the Variable Account’s effective advisory fee rate was above the median and total expense ratio was approximately at the median of such fees and expenses of funds in the Lipper expense group. In addition, the Managers accepted MFS’ offer to continue the expense limitation for the Variable Account. The Managers further concluded that the existing breakpoint was sufficient to allow the Variable Account to benefit from economies of scale as its assets grow.

Item 4(e)(1):

Set forth below are the policies and procedures established by the Audit Committee of the Board of Managers relating to the pre-approval of audit and non-audit related services:

To the extent required by applicable law, pre-approval by the Audit Committee of the Board is needed for all audit and permissible non-audit services rendered to the Funds and all permissible non-audit services rendered to MFS or MFS Related Entities if the services relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant. Pre-approval is currently on an engagement-by-engagement basis. In the event pre-approval of such services is necessary between regular meetings of the Audit Committee and it is not practical to wait to seek pre-approval at the next regular meeting of the Audit Committee, pre-approval of such services may be referred to the Chair of the Audit Committee for approval; provided that the Chair may not pre-approve any individual engagement for such services exceeding $50,000 or multiple engagements for such services in the aggregate exceeding $100,000 in each period between regular meetings of the Audit Committee. Any engagement pre-approved by the Chair between regular meetings of the Audit Committee shall be presented for ratification by the entire Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

Item 4(e)(2):

None, or 0%, of the services relating to the Audit-Related Fees, Tax Fees and All Other Fees paid by the Account and MFS and MFS Related Entities relating directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant disclosed above were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraphs (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X (which permits audit committee approval after the start of the engagement with respect to services other than audit, review or attest services, if certain conditions are satisfied).

Item 4(f): Not applicable.

Item 4(h): The Registrant’s Audit Committee has considered whether the provision by a Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm of non-audit services to MFS and MFS Related Entities that were not pre-approved by the Committee (because such services did not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant) was compatible with maintaining the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm as the Registrant’s principal auditors.
