1. General

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Keyport Life Insurance Company (the Company) includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals that management considers necessary for a fair
presentation of the Company's financial position as of June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Certain footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Therefore, these
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's 1999 Form 10-K. The results of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

2. Comprehensive Income

Total comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, was $17.7 million and $(0.2) million, respectively.

3. Recent Accounting Prouncement

In June 1998, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133") was issued. SFAS 133 standardizes the accounting for derivative instruments and the
derivative portion of certain other contracts that have similar characteristics by requiring that an entity recognize those instruments at fair value. This statement also requires a new method of accounting for hedging transactions, prescribes the type of
items and transactions that may be hedged, and specifies detailed criteria to be met to qualify for hedge accounting. In June 1999, SFAS No. 137 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB
Statement No. 133" was issued ("SFAS 137"). SFAS 137 defers the effective date of SFAS 133 until fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the Company will be required to record a cumulative effect adjustment
to reflect this accounting change. The Company has not completed its analysis and evaluation of the requirements and the impact of this statement.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations

and Financial Condition

Results of Operations

Net income was $27.7 million and $20.8 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and $56.1 million and $46.8 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The
increase in net income was primarily attributable to increases in investment spread and fee income partially offset by increases in net realized investment losses (first quarter only), amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs, operating expenses
and income tax expenses. Income from operations (income before income taxes and net realized investment losses) was $51.2 million and $43.2 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and $102.3 million and $86.2
million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Investment spread is the amount by which investment income earned on the Company's investments exceeds interest credited to policyholder balances. Investment spread was $82.0 million and $66.3 million for the three-month periods
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The amount by which the average yield on investments exceeds the average interest credited rate on policyholder balances is the investment spread percentage. The investment spread percentage was 2.36% and 1.86%
for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Investment spread was $159.4 million and $136.5 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The investment spread percentage was 2.30% and 1.90% for
the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Investment income was $215.2 million and $195.7 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase of $19.5 million in 2000 compared to 1999 is attributable to a $24.3 million increase resulting
from a higher average investment yield offset by a $4.8 million decrease resulting from a lower level of average invested assets. Investment income for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, includes $23.5 million and $19.4 million,
respectively, of S&P 500 Index call option amortization expense related to the Company's equity-indexed annuities. The average investment yield was 6.79% and 6.04 % for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Investment
income was $419.9 million and $400.7 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase of $19.2 million in 2000 compared to 1999 is attributable to a $30.6 million increase resulting from a higher average
investment yield offset by a $11.4 million decrease as a result of a lower level of average invested assets. Investment income for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, includes $44.6 million and $38.8 million, respectively, of S&P 500
Index call option amortization expense related to the Company's equity-indexed annuities. The average investment yield was 6.63% and 6.15 % for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Interest credited to policyholders was $133.2 million and $129.4 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase of $3.8 million in 2000 compared to 1999 is attributable to a $7.8 million
increase resulting from a higher average interest credited rate offset by a $4.0 million decrease as a result of a lower level of average policyholder balances. Policyholder balances averaged $12.0 billion ($9.6 billion of fixed products, consisting of
fixed annuities and the closed block of single premium whole life insurance, and $2.4 billion of equity-indexed annuities) and $12.4 billion ($10.2 billion of fixed products and $2.2 billion of equity-indexed annuities) for the three-month periods ended
June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The average interest credited rate was 4.43% (5.26% on fixed products and 0.85% on equity-indexed annuities) and 4.18% (4.98% on fixed products and 0.85% on equity-indexed annuities) for the three-month periods ended
June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Interest credited to policyholders was $260.5 million and $264.2 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease of $3.7 million in 2000 compared to 1999 is attributable to a
$8.6 million decrease as a result of a lower level of average policyholder balances offset by a $4.9 million increase resulting from a higher average interest credited rate. Policyholder balances averaged $12.0 billion ($9.7 billion of fixed products,
consisting of fixed annuities and the closed block of single premium whole life insurance, and $2.3 billion of equity-indexed annuities) and

7

$12.4 billion ($10.3 billion of fixed products and $2.1 billion of equity-indexed annuities) for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The average interest credited rate was 4.33% (5.13% on fixed products and
0.85% on equity-indexed annuities) and 4.25% (5.00% on fixed products and 0.85% on equity-indexed annuities) for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company's equity-indexed annuities credit interest to the policyholder
at a "participation rate" equal to a portion (ranging for existing policies from 25% to 100%) of the change in value of the S&P 500 Index. The Company's equity-indexed annuities also provide full guarantee of principal if held to term, plus interest
at 0.85% annually. For each of the periods presented, the interest credited to equity-indexed policyholders related to the participation rate is reflected net of income recognized on the S&P 500 Index call options and futures resulting in a 0.85% net
credited rate.

Average investments in the Company's general account (computed without giving effect to SFAS 115), including a portion of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, were $12.7 billion and $13.0 billion for the three-month periods
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Average investments were $12.7 billion and $13.0 billion for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Net realized investment losses were $9.6 million and $11.4 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and $17.3 million and $14.5 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and
1999, respectively. Sales of investments generally are made to maximize total return and to take advantage of prevailing market conditions. The net realized losses for the three-month period ended June 30, 2000 included losses of $5.4 million for certain
fixed maturity investments where the decline in value was determined to be other than temporary. Other than temporary declines of $3.0 million were recorded in the second quarter of 1999. Other than temporary declines of $8.7 million were recorded for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2000 compared to $3.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 1999.

Surrender charges are revenues earned on the early withdrawal of fixed, equity-indexed and variable annuity policyholder balances. Surrender charges on fixed, equity-indexed and variable annuity withdrawals generally are assessed
at declining rates applied to policyholder withdrawals during the first five to seven years of the contract. Total surrender charges were $5.2 million and $4.4 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Total surrender
charges were $10.1 million and $8.3 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

On an annualized basis, total annuity withdrawals represented 16.9% and 15.1% of the total average annuity policyholder and separate account balances for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and 15.9% and
14.0% of the total average annuity policyholder and separate account balances for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The higher level of surrenders are the result of increased competition from other investment products and
policy-holders surrendering out of fixed annuities to take advantage of the strong equity markets. The later trend is expected to have a reduced impact on surrender activity as equity markets exhibit increased volatility.

Separate account income is primarily mortality and expense charges earned on variable annuity and variable life policyholder balances. These charges, which are based on the market values of the assets in the separate accounts
supporting the contracts, were $11.1 million and $7.7 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Such fees represented 1.23% and 1.26% of the average variable annuity and variable life separate account balances for the
three-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Separate account fees were $21.8 million and $14.3 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. These fees represented 1.26% and 1.27% of the average variable
annuity and variable life separate account balances for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. In addition, for certain separate account institutional accounts, the investment spread is included in separate account income.

8



Management fees are primarily investment advisory fees related to the separate account assets. The fees are based on the level of assets under management, which are affected by product sales, redemptions and changes in the fair
values of the investments managed. Management fees were $3.1 million and $2.5 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and $5.7 million and $4.1 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. The increase in 2000 compared to 1999 primarily reflects an increase in the average level of assets under management. Average separate account assets were $3.6 billion and $2.5 billion for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and
1999, respectively, and $3.5 billion and $2.2 billion for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Operating expenses represent compensation and other general and administrative expenses. These expenses were $18.7 million and $14.2 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and $34.6
million and $27.7 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase in the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to higher selling and
information technology expenses.

Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs relates to the costs of acquiring new business, which vary with, and are primarily related to, the production of new annuity business. Such acquisition costs included commissions,
costs of policy issuance, underwriting and selling expenses.

Amortization was $29.8 million and $22.4 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and $56.9 million and $46.7 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Deferred
policy acquisition cost amortization expense for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 represented 32.1% and 30.3%, on an annualized basis, of investment spread and separate account fees for 2000 and 1999, respectively. Deferred policy
acquisition cost amortization expense for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 represented 31.4% and 31.0%, on an annualized basis, of investment spread and separate account fees for 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase in amortization
expense is due to the increased profit realized on the inforce business.

Federal income tax expense was $14.0 million or 33.6% and $11.1 million or 34.8% of pretax income for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The federal income tax expense was $29.0 million or 34.1%
and $25.0 million or 34.8% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate was due to an increase in permanent differences.

Financial Condition

Stockholder's equity was $1.021 billion as of June 30, 2000 compared to $1.013 billion as of December 31, 1999. The $7.7 million increase in stockholder's equity consists of a $38.4 million increase in net unrealized investment
losses on available for sale securities, dividends of $10.0 million paid to the parent company, and $56.1 million of net income for the period.

Investments (computed without giving effect to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115), including a portion of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, were $12.6 and $12.8 billion as of June 30, 2000 and December
31, 1999, respectively.

The Company's general investment policy is to hold fixed maturity investments for long-term investment and, accordingly, the Company does not have a trading portfolio. To provide for maximum portfolio flexibility and appropriate tax
planning, the Company classifies its bond portfolio as "available for sale" and carries such investments at fair value. Gross unrealized losses at June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 were $361.7 million and $323.3 million, respectively.

9



Approximately $11.1 billion, or 77.4%, of the Company's general account and certain separate account investments at June 30, 2000, were rated by Standard & Poor's Corporation, Moody's Investors Service or under comparable statutory
rating guidelines established by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). At June 30, 2000, the carrying value of investments in below investment grade securities totaled $0.9 billion, or 8.5% of general account and certain separate
account investments of $13.9 billion. Below investment grade securities generally provide higher yields and involve greater risks than investment grade securities because their issuers typically are more highly leveraged and more vulnerable to adverse
economic conditions than investment grade issuers. In addition, the trading market for these securities may be more limited than for investment grade securities.

The carrying value of non-income producing securities at June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 was approximately $28.3 million and $22.6 million, respectively.

Derivatives

As a component of its investment strategy and to reduce its exposure to interest rate risk, the Company utilizes interest rate and total return swap agreements and interest rate cap agreements to match assets more closely to
liabilities. Interest rate swap agreements are agreements to exchange with counterparty interest rate payments of differing character (e.g., fixed-rate payments exchanged for variable-rate payments) based on an underlying principal balance (notional
principal) to hedge against interest rate changes. The Company currently utilizes interest rate swap agreements to reduce asset duration and to better match interest earned on longer-term fixed-rate assets with interest credited to policyholders. A total
return swap agreement is an agreement to exchange payments based upon an underlying notional balance and changes in variable rate and total return indices. The Company utilizes total return swap agreements to hedge its obligations related to certain
separate account liabilities. The Company had 67 and 61 outstanding swap agreements as of June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively, with an aggregate notional principal amount of $2.9 billion and $3.4 billion, respectively.

Cap agreements are agreements with a counterparty that require the payment of a premium for the right to receive payments for the difference between the cap interest rate and a market interest rate on specified future dates based on an
underlying notional principal to hedge against rising interest rates. There were no outstanding interest rate cap agreements as of June 30, 2000. The Company had interest rate cap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $50.0 million as of
December 31, 1999.

With respect to the Company's equity-indexed annuities, the Company buys call options and futures on the S&P 500 Index to hedge its obligations to provide returns based upon this index. The Company had call options with a carrying
value of $489.0 million and $701.1 million as of June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. The Company had open futures with a fair value of $2.1 million and $(0.1) as of June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. The Company had total
return swap agreements with a carrying value of $29.9 million and $37.8 million as of June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively.

There are risks associated with some of the techniques the Company uses to match its assets and liabilities. The primary risk associated with swap, cap and call option agreements is counterparty nonperformance. The Company believes that
the counterparties to its swap, cap and call option agreements are financially responsible and that the counterparty risk associated with these transactions is minimal. Future contracts trade on organized exchanges and, therefore, have minimal credit
risk. In addition, swap and cap agreements have interest rate risk and call options, futures and certain total return swap agreements have stock market risk. These swap and cap agreements hedge fixed-rate assets and the Company expects that any interest
rate movements that adversely affect the market value of swap agreements would be offset by changes in the market values of such fixed-rate assets. However, there can be no assurance that these hedges will be effective in offsetting the potential adverse
effects of changes in interest rates. Similarly, the call options, futures and certain total return swap agreements hedge the Company's obligations to provide returns on equity-indexed annuities based upon the S&P 500 Index, and the Company believes
that any stock market movements that adversely affect the

10

market value of S&P 500 Index call options, futures and certain total return swap agreements would be substantially offset by a reduction in policyholder liabilities. However, there can be no assurance that these hedges will be
effective in offsetting the potentially adverse effects of changes in S&P 500 Index levels. The Company's profitability could be adversely affected if the value of its swap and cap agreements increase less than (or decrease more than) the change in
the market value of its fixed rate assets and/or if the value of its S&P 500 Index call options, futures and certain total return swap agreements increase less than (or decrease more than) the value of the guarantees made to equity-indexed policyholders
 .

In June 1998, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133") was issued. SFAS 133 standardizes the accounting for derivative instruments and the derivative
portion of certain other contracts that have similar characteristics by requiring that an entity recognize those instruments at fair value. This statement also requires a new method of accounting for hedging transactions, prescribes the type of items and
transactions that may be hedged, and specifies detailed criteria to be met to qualify for hedge accounting. In June 1999, SFAS No. 137 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No.
133" was issued ("SFAS 137"). SFAS 137 defers the effective date of SFAS 133 until fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the Company will be required to record a cumulative effect adjustment to reflect
this accounting change. The Company has not completed its analysis and evaluation of the requirements and the impact of this statement.

Liquidity

The Company's liquidity needs and financial resources pertain to the management of the general account assets and policyholder balances. The Company uses cash for the payment of annuity and life insurance benefits, operating
expenses, policy acquisition costs, and the purchase of investments. The Company generates cash from annuity premiums and deposits, net investment income, and from maturities and sales of its investments. Annuity premiums, maturing investments and net
investment income have historically been sufficient to meet the Company's cash requirements. The Company monitors cash and cash equivalents in an effort to maintain sufficient liquidity and has strategies in place to maintain sufficient liquidity in
changing interest rate environments. Consistent with the nature of its obligations, the Company has invested a substantial amount of its general account assets in readily marketable securities. At June 30, 2000, $11.2 billion, or 78.2%, of the Company's
general account and certain separate account investments are considered readily marketable.

To the extent that unanticipated surrenders cause the Company to sell for liquidity purposes a material amount of securities prior to their maturity, such surrenders could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Although no
assurance can be given, the Company believes that liquidity to fund withdrawals would be available through incoming cash flow, the sale of short-term or floating-rate instruments, thereby precluding the sale of fixed maturity investments in a potentially
unfavorable market.

Current Rhode Island insurance law permits the payment of dividends or distributions from the Company to Liberty Financial, which, together with dividends and distributions paid during the preceding 12 months, do not exceed the lesser
of (i) 10% of statutory surplus as of the preceding December 31 or (ii) the net gain from operations for the preceding fiscal year. Any proposed dividend in excess of this amount is called an "extraordinary dividend" and may not be paid until it is
approved by the Commissioner of Insurance of the State of Rhode Island. As of June 30, 2000, the amount of additional dividends that the Company could pay without such approval was $47.8 million.

Based upon the historical cash flow of the Company, the Company's current financial condition and the Company's expectation that there will not be a material adverse change in the results of operations of the Company and its
subsidiaries during the next twelve months, the Company believes that cash flow provided by operating activities over this period will provide sufficient liquidity for the Company to meet its liquidity needs.

Effects of Inflation

Inflation has not had a material effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations to date. The Company manages its investment portfolio in part to reduce its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. In general, the fair
value of the Company's fixed maturity portfolio increases or decreases in inverse relationship with fluctuations in interest rates, and the Company's net investment income increases or decreases in direct relationship with interest rate changes. For
example, if interest rates decline the Company's fixed maturity investments generally will increase in fair value, while net investment income will decrease as fixed maturity investments mature or are sold and the proceeds are reinvested at reduced rates.
However, inflation may result in increased operating expenses that may not be readily recoverable in the prices of the services charged by the Company.
