CONTRACT ACCUMULATION FUND
VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACTS
US equity performance, as represented by the broad market index S&P 500, returned +5.49% in 2007. Using the Russell indices as a proxy, large cap stocks outperformed mid and small capitalization stocks, and growth stocks led value stocks among all market caps (Russell 1000 Growth +11.81% vs. Russell 1000 Value -0.17%; Russell Midcap Growth +11.43% vs. Russell Midcap Value -1.42%; Russell 2000 Growth +7.05% vs. Russell 2000 Value -9.78%).
Against this backdrop, the portfolio underperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index during in 2007. Stock selection and an overweight in health care, and financial services; an underweight in basic materials; and a modest cash position detracted the most from relative performance. An underweight in autos & housing; stock selection in special products & services, energy, and utilities & communications had a positive impact on relative performance. 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.
We continued to position the portfolio as a style-disciplined large cap growth portfolio diversified across sectors. At year end, we were finding a number of companies we viewed as sustainable growth opportunities in the special products and services sector. Emphasis was placed on data and transaction processors, where we were particularly attracted to the “annuity stream” business models. In the overweight health care sector we were finding the most attractive opportunities in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical technology industries. We continued to overweight the financial services sector where we were primarily exposed to market sensitive companies (brokers and asset managers). We were overweight consumer staples and retailing with exposure to several stable globally exposed food and consumer products companies as well as several high-end and uniquely positioned retailers. Overall, we have and will continue to build the portfolio from the bottom up, focusing on large cap companies that seek to deliver sustainable above-average growth to their shareholders.
Thank you for your continued support.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Owners and the Board of Managers of
The Paul Revere Variable Annuity Contract Accumulation Fund
of The Paul Revere Variable Annuity Insurance Company
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of The Paul Revere Variable Annuity Contract Accumulation Fund (comprising the Qualified and Non-Qualified Portfolios) (“Fund”) including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2007, the related statement 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 Fund’s 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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit includes 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 Fund’s 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 and financial highlights, 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, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. 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 position of The Paul Revere Variable Annuity Contract Accumulation Fund (comprising the Qualified and Non-Qualified Portfolios) at December 31, 2007, 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2007
| 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 Unum Group, formerly UnumProvident Corporation. The Fund is the investment vehicle for Paul Revere Variable’s tax-deferred group annuity contracts. The Fund consists of two series. Series Q is applicable to contracts which were afforded special tax treatment under the Internal Revenue Code and are commonly referred to as “qualified contracts”. Series N is applicable to all other contracts and are commonly referred to as “non-qualified 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 December 31, 2007, as reported on national security exchanges. Unrealized investment gains and losses are recorded through the Statement of Operations and ultimately 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 represent 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 statements of operations which, on an annual basis, will not exceed 2% of the average daily net asset value of the Fund. The current rate for such fees is 1.5% of the average daily net asset value of the Fund. Additionally, Paul Revere Variable charges a professional services fee. This fee is charged every valuation day at a rate of $50 for the qualified contracts and $30 for the non-qualified contracts. The professional services fees charged in 2007 were $12,500 and $7,500 for the qualified and non-qualified contracts, respectively. |
| 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:
