Semi-Annual Report

June 30, 2004

 


TO OUR CONTRACT OWNERS AND PARTICIPANTS:

THE PAUL REVERE VARIABLE ANNUITY

CONTRACT ACCUMULATION FUND

VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACTS

 

In the first half of 2004, we think stocks were caught in a tug-of-war between positive fundamentals and negative investor sentiment. We saw improvement in most economic measures of the U. S. economy – fundamental factors such as employment, consumer spending, and corporate capital expendures. In addition, corporate earnings, which in our experience have been the most consistent engine of stock market growth, appeared to us to be in the midst of a solid upward cycle. For the most part, however, these positive fundamentals were not reflected in stock prices, which climbed only modestly in the first half of the year.

 

We believe the key factor holding back equity markets was investor concern about geopolitical instability. The March 2004 train bombings in Spain brought geopolitical concerns back to the forefront of investors’ minds, and subsequent events in Iraq and Saudi Arabia made the world look less stable to investors. The economic issue was, and at mid-year remained, investors’ concern that geopolitics could constrict oil supplies, cause oil prices to spike, and potentially slow down the global recovery. While we would allow that these geopolitical concerns have validity, our experience has been that, over the longer term, positive market fundamentals have usually outweighed shorter-term negative events.

 

Stock valuations became more attractive, in our opinion, in the first six months of 2004. Last year, many market watchers expressed concern that valuations (stock prices in relation to factors such as earnings and cash flow growth) had become higher than long-term averages. In our view, stock valuations became more attractive in the first half of 2004 as prices stagnated while earnings and other fundamental factors improved. It could be argued, we believe, that an environment of improving fundamentals and negative investor sentiment represents an attractive long-term buying opportunity.

 

Against the backdrop, among large cap U. S. growth stocks, later stage cyclicals (that is, companies that usually perform well after the economic rebound is underway) industrials, energy, and transportation performed well while financial services, advertising-sensitive, and semiconductor names lagged. The portfolio performed in-line with the Russell 1000 Growth Index during the first half of 2004. The top three sectors that contributed to performance were utilities and communications, retailing, and special products and services. The sectors that detracted the most were leisure and health care.

 

The portfolio’s philosophy and approach remain consistent. We continue to work closely with our team of fundamental research analysts to identify companies capable of delivering and sustaining above average earnings growth.

 

Sincerely,

/s/

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2004

(Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

The Paul Revere Variable Annuity Contract Accumulation Fund (“the Fund”) is a separate account of The Paul Revere Variable Annuity Insurance Company (“Paul Revere Variable”), and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end diversified investment company. Paul Revere Variable is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Paul Revere Life Insurance Company (“Paul Revere Life”) which in turn is wholly-owned by The Paul Revere Corporation which is wholly-owned by UnumProvident Corporation, formerly Provident Companies, Inc. (“Provident”). The Fund is the investment vehicle for Paul Revere Variable’s tax-deferred group annuity contracts.

 

2. Accounting policies

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in those statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from such estimates.

 

Common stocks are stated at market values which are based on the last sales prices at June 30, 2004, as reported on national security exchanges or the closing bid prices for unlisted securities as reported by investment dealers. Short-term notes are stated at amortized cost which approximates market value. Unrealized investment gains and losses are included in contract owners’ equity. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on the basis of specific identification of investments. Security transactions are accounted for on the day after the securities are purchased or sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued on a daily basis.

 

The Fund does not distribute net investment income and net realized capital gains through dividends to contract owners. The allocation of net investment income and net realized capital gains occurs automatically in the daily determination of unit net asset values. They are, therefore, included in the value of the contracts in force and in payments to contract owners.

 

Contract owners’ equity is comprised of two components. Deferred contracts terminable by owner represents amounts attributable to contracts which have not yet annuitized. Currently payable contracts include amounts equivalent to the annuity reserves relating to contracts with current annuities. Annuity reserves are computed for currently payable contracts according to the 1900 Progressive Annuity Mortality Table. The assumed interest rate is either 3.5% or 5% according to the option elected by the annuitant at the time of conversion. Paul Revere Variable bears all the mortality risk associated with these contracts.

 

3. Investment advisor

 

Paul Revere Variable acts as investment advisor and underwriter to the Fund and provides mortality and expense guarantees to holders of variable annuity contracts. For these services, Paul Revere Variable receives mortality and expense risk fees and investment management and advisory service fees as shown on the statement of operations which, on an annual basis, will not exceed 2% of the average daily net asset value of the Fund.

 

Certain administrative services of the Fund are provided by The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company (“VALIC”) under a contract dated May 15, 1998. These services include processing of unit transactions and daily unit value calculations subsequent to December 1, 1998 as well as accounting and other services.

 

4. Investment sub-advisor

 

Under an investment sub-advisory agreement with MFS Institutional Advisors, Inc. (“MFSI”), MFSI provides investment management services to Paul Revere Variable for a fee which, on an annual basis, will equal 0.35% of the average daily net assets of each series of the Fund. This fee is borne by Paul Revere Variable only and does not represent an additional charge to the Fund.

5. Federal income taxes

 

The Fund’s operations are included with those of Paul Revere Variable, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code and is included in a consolidated federal tax return filed by Paul Revere Life. In the opinion of Paul Revere Variable management, current law provides that investment income and capital gains from assets maintained in the Fund for the exclusive benefit of the contract owners are generally not subject to federal income tax. However, to the extent that Paul Revere Variable incurs federal income taxes based on the income from the Fund’s assets, the Fund will be charged. No charges for federal income taxes have been made since the inception of the Fund.

 

6. Security transactions

 

The aggregate cost of securities purchased and proceeds of securities sold, other than securities with maturities of one year or less, were as follows:

   $ 6,934,164    $ 7,071,940    $ 1,276,070    $ 1,347,273
