TO OUR CONTRACTOWNERS AND PARTICIPANTS:
THE PAUL REVERE VARIABLE ANNUITY
CONTRACT ACCUMULATION FUND
VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACTS
This year end report of the Fund contains the financial statements and portfolio information of the Fund for the period ended December 31, 2004.
For investors, by year 2004 end, strong fundamental factors such as corporate spending and earnings growth moved equity markets to solid gains for the year. During the 12-month period, oil prices, rising short-term interest rates, a volatile and retreating U.S. dollar, record budget and trade deficits, and war in Iraq presented a challenging market environment and for a time it seemed these factors would lead to flat or negative annual performance for many investments. But by the last quarter of 2004, oil prices retreated, investors seemed to adopt a less negative view of other broad economic issues and the markets appeared to recognize that both corporate profits and economic growth were up solidly, if not spectacularly, for the year. Some economists are projecting that the environment is right for sustainable modest growth in both GDP (gross domestic product) and corporate earnings.
Against this backdrop, the portfolio outperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index during the second half of 2004. The top three sectors that contributed to performance were health care, industrial goods & services, and retailing. The sectors that detracted the most were utilities & communications, financial services, and auto & housing. The portfolio’s philosophy and approach remain consistent.
Thank you for your continued support.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Owners of Variable Annuity Contracts of The Paul Revere
Variable Annuity Insurance Company 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) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, including the schedule of investments as of December 31, 2004, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, and the supplementary information for each of the ten years in the period then ended. These financial statements and supplementary information are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and supplementary information 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 supplementary information are free of material misstatement. An 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 supplementary information, 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, 2004 and 2003, 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 supplementary information referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Paul Revere Variable Annuity Contract Accumulation Fund at December 31, 2004 and 2003, the results of its operations and the changes in its net assets for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, and the supplementary information for each of the ten years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2004
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.
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 and preferred stocks are stated at market values which are based on the last sales prices at December 31, 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 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.
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.
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.
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.

December 31, 2004
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.
The aggregate cost of securities purchased and proceeds of securities sold, other than securities with maturities of one year or less, were as follows:
