SUMMARY OF BENEFITS AND RISKS

The nature of the policy

The policy’s primary purpose is to provide lifetime protection against economic loss due to the death of the insured person. The policy is unsuitable as a short-term savings vehicle because of the substantial policy-level charges. We are obligated to pay all amounts promised under the policy. The value of the amount you have invested under the policy may increase or decrease daily based on the investment results of the investment accounts that you choose. The amount we pay to the policy’s beneficiary upon the death of the insured person (we call this the “death benefit”) may be similarly affected. That’s why the policy is referred to as a “variable” life insurance policy. We call the investments you make in the policy “premiums” or “premium payments.” The amount we require as your first premium depends upon the specifics of your policy and the insured person. Except as noted in the “Detailed Information” section of this prospectus, you can make any other premium payments you wish at any time. That’s why the policy is called a “flexible premium” policy.

Summary of policy benefits

Death benefit

When the insured person dies, we will pay the death benefit minus any policy debt and unpaid fees and charges. There are two ways of calculating the death benefit (Option 1 and Option 2). You choose which one you want in the application. The two death benefit options are:

• Option 1 - The death benefit will equal the greater of (1) the Total Face Amount, or (2) the minimum death benefit (as described under “The minimum death benefit” provision in the “Detailed Information” section of this prospectus).

• Option 2 - The death benefit will equal the greater of (1) the Total Face Amount plus the policy value on the date of death, or (2) the minimum death benefit.

Surrender of the policy

You may surrender the policy in full at any time. If you do, we will pay you the policy value less any outstanding policy debt. This is called your “net cash surrender value.” You must return your policy when you request a surrender.

If you have not taken a loan on your policy, the “policy value” of your policy will, on any given date, be equal to:

• the amount you invested,

• plus any gain or minus any loss of the investment experience of the investment options you’ve chosen,

• minus all charges we deduct, and

• minus all withdrawals you have made.

If you take a loan on your policy, your policy value will be computed somewhat differently (see “Effects of policy loans”).

Withdrawals

After the first policy year, you may make a withdrawal of part of your surrender value. Generally, each withdrawal must be at least $500. We reserve the right to charge a fee of up to the lesser of 2% of the withdrawal amount or $25 for each withdrawal. Your policy value is automatically reduced by the amount of the withdrawal and the fee. A withdrawal may also reduce the Total Face Amount (see “Surrender and withdrawals — Withdrawals”). We reserve the right to refuse a withdrawal if it would reduce the net cash surrender value or the Total Face Amount below certain minimum amounts.

Policy loans

If your policy is in full force and has sufficient policy value, you may borrow from it at any time by completing the appropriate form. Generally, the minimum amount of each loan is $500. The maximum amount you can borrow is determined by a formula as described in your policy. Interest is charged on each loan. You can pay the interest or allow it to become part of the outstanding loan balance. You can repay all or part of a loan at any time. If there is an outstanding loan when the insured person dies, it will be deducted from the death benefit. Policy loans permanently affect the calculation of your policy value, and may also result in adverse tax consequences.

4Table Of Contents

Optional supplementary benefit riders

When you apply for the policy, you can request any of the optional supplementary benefit riders that we make available. Availability of riders varies from state to state. Charges for most riders will be deducted monthly from the policy value. Some riders may not be available in combination with other riders or benefits (see “Other policy benefits, rights and limitations —  Optional supplementary benefit riders you can add”).

Investment options

The policy offers a number of investment options, as listed on page 1 of this prospectus. These investment options are subaccounts of Separate Account N (the “Account” or “Separate Account”), a separate account operated by us under Michigan law. There is also a “fixed account” option that provides a fixed rate of return. The variable investment options have returns that vary depending upon the investment results of underlying portfolios. These options are referred to in this prospectus as “investment accounts.” The fixed account and the investment accounts are sometimes collectively referred to in this prospectus as the “accounts.” The investment accounts cover a broad spectrum of investment styles and strategies. Although the portfolios of the series funds that underlie those investment accounts operate like publicly traded mutual funds, there are important differences between the investment accounts and publicly traded mutual funds. You can transfer money from one investment account to another without tax liability. Moreover, any dividends and capital gains distributed by each underlying portfolio are automatically reinvested and reflected in the portfolio’s value and create no taxable event for you. If and when policy earnings are distributed (generally as a result of a surrender or withdrawal), they will be treated as ordinary income instead of as capital gains. Also, you must keep in mind that you are purchasing an insurance policy and you will be assessed charges at the policy level as well as at the fund level. Such policy level charges, in aggregate, are significant and will reduce the investment performance of your policy.

Summary of policy risks

Lapse risk

If the net cash surrender value is insufficient to pay the charges when due, your policy can terminate (i.e. “lapse”). This can happen because you haven’t paid enough premiums or because the investment performance of the investment accounts you’ve chosen has been poor or because of a combination of both factors. You will be given a “grace period” within which to make additional premium payments to keep the policy in effect. If lapse occurs, you may be given the opportunity to reinstate the policy by making the required premium payments and satisfying certain other conditions.

Since withdrawals reduce your policy value, withdrawals increase the risk of lapse. Policy loans also increase the risk of lapse.

Investment risk

As mentioned above, the investment performance of any investment account may be good or bad. Your policy value will rise or fall based on the investment performance of the investment accounts you’ve chosen. Some investment accounts are riskier than others. These risks (and potential rewards) are discussed in detail in the prospectuses of the underlying portfolios.

Transfer risk

There is a risk that you will not be able to transfer your policy value from one investment account to another because of limitations on the dollar amount or frequency of transfers you can make. The limitations on transfers out of the fixed account option are more restrictive than those that apply to transfers out of investment accounts.

Early surrender risk

Depending on the policy value at the time you are considering surrender, there may be little or no surrender value payable to you.

Market timing and disruptive trading risks

The policy is not designed for professional market timers or highly active traders, including persons or entities that engage in programmed, large or frequent transfers among the investment accounts or between the investment accounts and

5Table Of Contents

any available fixed account. The policy is also not designed to accommodate trading that results in transfers that are large in relation to the total assets of the underlying portfolio.

Variable investment accounts in variable life insurance products can be a prime target for abusive transfer activity because these products value their investment accounts on a daily basis and allow transfers among investment accounts without immediate tax consequences. As a result, some investors may seek to frequently transfer into and out of investment accounts or to make large transfers in reaction to market news or to exploit a perceived pricing inefficiency. Whatever the reason, long-term investors in an investment account can be harmed by large or frequent transfer activity. For example, such activity may expose the investment account’s underlying portfolio to increased portfolio transaction costs and/or disrupt the portfolio manager’s ability to effectively manage the portfolio’s investments in accordance with the portfolio’s investment objectives and policies. This could include causing the portfolio to maintain higher levels of cash than would otherwise be the case, or liquidating investments prematurely. Accordingly, frequent or large transfers may result in dilution with respect to interests held for long-term investment and adversely affect policy owners, beneficiaries and the underlying portfolios.

To discourage market timing and disruptive trading activity, we impose restrictions on transfers (see “Transfers of existing policy value”) and reserve the right to change, suspend or terminate telephone, facsimile and internet transaction privileges (see “How you communicate with us”). In addition, we reserve the right to take other actions at any time to restrict trading, including, but not limited to:

(i) restricting the number of transfers made during a defined period,

(ii) restricting the dollar amount of transfers,

(iii) restricting transfers into and out of certain investment accounts,

(iv) restricting the method used to submit transfers, and

(v) deferring a transfer at any time we are unable to purchase or redeem shares of the underlying portfolio.

We may also impose additional administrative conditions upon, or prohibit a transfer request made by a third party giving instructions on behalf of multiple policies, whether owned by the same owner or different owners. If you engage a third party for asset allocation services, then you may be subject to these transfer restrictions because of the actions of that party in providing those services. We will notify the third party you have engaged if we exercise this right.

While we seek to identify and prevent disruptive trading activity, it may not always be possible to do so. Therefore, no assurance can be given that the restrictions we impose will be successful in preventing all disruptive trading and avoiding harm to long-term investors.

Tax risks

Life insurance death benefits are ordinarily not subject to income tax. Other Federal and state taxes may apply as further discussed below. In general, you will be taxed on the amount of lifetime distributions that exceed the premiums paid under the policy. Any taxable distribution will be treated as ordinary income (rather than as capital gains) for tax purposes.

In order for you to receive the tax benefits extended to life insurance under the Internal Revenue Code, your policy must comply with certain requirements of the Code. We will monitor your policy for compliance with these requirements, but a policy might fail to qualify as life insurance in spite of our monitoring. If this were to occur, you would be subject to income tax on the income credited to your policy for the period of disqualification and all subsequent periods. The tax laws also contain a so-called “7 pay limit” that limits the amount of premium that can be paid in relation to the policy’s death benefit. If the limit is violated, the policy will be treated as a “modified endowment contract,” which can have adverse tax consequences. There are also certain Treasury Department rules referred to as the “investor control rules” that determine whether you would be treated as the “owner” of the assets underlying your policy. If that were determined to be the case, you would be taxed on any income or gains those assets generate. In other words, you would lose the value of the so-called “inside build-up” that is a major benefit of life insurance.

There is a tax risk associated with policy loans. Although no part of a loan is treated as income to you when the loan is made (unless your policy is a “modified endowment contract”), surrender or lapse of the policy would result in the loan being treated as a distribution at the time of lapse or surrender. This could result in a considerable tax bill. Under certain circumstances involving large amounts of outstanding loans and an insured person of advanced age, you might find yourself having to choose between high premium requirements to keep your policy from lapsing and a significant tax burden if you allow the lapse to occur.

6Table Of Contents

Tax consequences of ownership or receipt of policy proceeds under Federal, state and local estate, inheritance, gift and other tax laws can vary greatly depending upon the circumstances of each owner or beneficiary. There can also be unfavorable tax consequences on such things as the change of policy ownership or assignment of ownership interests. For these and all the other reasons mentioned above, we recommend you consult with a qualified tax adviser before buying the policy and before exercising certain rights under the policy.

7Table Of Contents

FEE TABLES

This section contains the tables that describe all of the fees and expenses that you will pay when buying and owning the policy. In the first three tables, certain entries show the minimum charge, the maximum charge and the charge for a representative insured person. The charges shown in these tables may not be particularly relevant to your current situation. For more information, contact your John Hancock USA representative. Other entries show only the maximum charge we can assess and are labeled as such. Except where necessary to show a rate greater than zero, all rates shown in the tables have been rounded to two decimal places as required by prospectus disclosure rules. Consequently, the actual rates charged may be slightly higher or lower than those shown in the tables.

The first table below describes the fees and expenses that you will pay at the time that you pay a premium, withdraw policy value, surrender the policy, lapse the policy or transfer policy value between investment accounts. A portion of the premium charge is used to cover premium taxes. Premium taxes vary by jurisdiction and are subject to change. Currently, premium tax levels range from 0% to 3.5%.

Transaction Fees
Charge	When Charge is Deducted	Amount Deducted
Maximum premium charge	Upon payment of premium	7% of each premium paid (currently, 1.5%)
Maximum withdrawal fee	Upon making a withdrawal	The lesser of 2% of the withdrawal amount or $25(1)
Maximum transfer fee	Upon each transfer into or out of an investment account beyond an annual limit of not less than 12	$25 (currently $0)(1)

(1) This charge is not currently imposed, but we reserve the right to do so in the policy.

8Table Of Contents

The next two tables describe the charges and expenses that you will pay periodically during the time you own the policy. These tables do not include fees and expenses paid at the portfolio level. Except for the policy loan interest rate and the charge for the Enhanced Cash Value Rider, all of the charges shown in the tables are deducted from your policy value. The second table is devoted only to optional supplementary rider benefits. The charges shown in these tables may not be particularly relevant to your current situation. For more information about the cost of insurance rates and other charges talk to your John Hancock representative.

Charge for representative insured person		$0.38 per $1,000 of NAR	$0.13 per $1,000 of NAR

Charge for representative insured person		$0.28 per $1,000 of Base Face Amount	$0.28 per $1,000 of Base Face Amount in policy years 1-3 $0.19 per $1,000 of Base Face Amount in policy years 4-6 $0.09 per $1,000 of Base Face Amount in policy years 7-10
Administrative charge	Monthly	$12	$9
Asset-based risk charge(3)	Monthly	0.08% of policy value in policy years 1-10 0.03% of policy value in policy year 11 and thereafter	0.03% of policy value in policy years 1-10 0.004% of policy value in policy year 11 and thereafter
Maximum policy loan interest rate(4)	Accrues daily Payable annually	3.75%	3.75%

(1)The cost of insurance charge is determined by multiplying the amount of insurance for which we are at risk (the net amount at risk or “NAR”) by the applicable cost of insurance rate. The rates vary widely depending upon the length of time the policy has been in effect, the insurance risk characteristics of the insured person and (generally) the gender of the insured person. The minimum rate shown in the table is the rate in the first policy year for a policy issued to cover a 15 year old female preferred underwriting risk. The maximum rate shown in the table at both guaranteed and current rates is the rate in the first policy year for a policy issued to cover a 90 year old male substandard smoker underwriting risk. This includes the so-called extra mortality charge. The representative insured person referred to in the table is a 45 year old male standard non-smoker underwriting risk with a policy in the first policy year.

(2)This charge is determined by multiplying the Base Face Amount at issue by the applicable rate. The rates vary by the sex and issue age of the insured person and duration (Policy Year). The minimum rate shown in the table is for a 15 year old female. The maximum rate shown in the table is for a 90 year old male. The representative insured person referred to in the table is a 45 year old male.

(3)This charge only applies to that portion of policy value held in the investment accounts. The charge determined does not apply to any fixed account.

9Table Of Contents

(4)3.75% is the maximum effective annual interest rate we can charge and applies only during policy years 1-10. The effective annual interest rate is 3.00% thereafter (although we reserve the right to increase the rate after the tenth policy year to as much as 3.25%). The amount of any loan is transferred from the accounts to a special loan account which earns interest at an effective annual rate of 3.00%. Therefore, the cost of a loan is the difference between the loan interest we charge and the interest we credit to the special loan account.

Rider Charges
Charge	When Charge is Deducted	Amount Deducted
Enhanced Cash Value Rider	Upon payment of premium	0.5% of premium paid in the first 7 policy years, up to the Limiting Premium (1) for each policy year stated in the Policy Specifications page of the policy.
Change of Life Insured Rider	At exercise of benefit	$250
Overloan Protection Rider (2)	At exercise of benefit
Minimum charge		0.04%
Maximum charge		8.00%

(1)

The “Limiting Premium” is an amount determined by multiplying the Base Face Amount at issue by an applicable rate which varies by the sex and issue age of the insured person. The minimum rate is for a 15-year old female and is $17.90 per $1000 of Base Face Amount. The maximum rate is for a 90-year old male and is $216.26 per $1,000 of Base Face Amount. The rate for a representative insured person is for a 45 year old male and is $56.49 per $1000 of Base Face Amount. Thus, for the representative 45 year old male with $100,000 of Base Face Amount, the Limiting Premium for the policy year would be $5,649.00.

(2)

The charge for this rider is determined as a percentage of unloaned account value. The rates vary by the attained age of the insured person at the time of exercise. The rates also differ according to the tax qualification test elected at issue. The guaranteed minimum rate for the guideline premium test is .04% (currently .04%) and the guaranteed maximum rate is 2.50% (currently 2.50%). The guaranteed minimum rate for the cash value accumulation test is .054% (currently .054%) and the guaranteed maximum rate is 8.00% (currently 8.00%). The minimum rate shown in the table is for an insured person who has reached attained age 99 and the guideline premium test has been elected. The maximum rate shown is for an insured person who has reached attained age 75 and the cash value accumulation test has been elected.

The next table describes the minimum and maximum portfolio level fees and expenses charged by any of the portfolios underlying a variable investment option offered through this prospectus, expressed as a percentage of average net assets (rounded to two decimal places). These expenses are deducted from portfolio assets.

Total Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses	Minimum	Maximum
Range of expenses, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other expenses1	0.49%	2.90%

¹Certain of the portfolios’ advisers or subadvisers have contractually agreed to reimburse or waive certain portfolio level expenses. The minimum and maximum expenses shown do not reflect these contractual expense reimbursements or waivers. If such reimbursements or waivers were reflected, the minimum and maximum expenses would be 0.25% and 0.92%, respectively.

DETAILED INFORMATION

This section of the prospectus provides additional detailed information that is not contained in the Summary of Benefits and Risks section.

Table of Investment Options and Investment Subadvisers

When you select a Separate Account investment option, we invest your money in shares of a corresponding portfolio of the John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust” or “JHVIT”) (or the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “PIMCO Trust”) with respect to the PIMCO VIT All Asset portfolio) and hold the shares in a subaccount of the Separate Account. Fees and expenses of the portfolios are not fixed or specified under the terms of the policies and may vary from year to year. These fees and expenses differ for each portfolio and reduce the investment return of each portfolio. Therefore, they also indirectly reduce the return you will earn on any Separate Account investment options you select. For more information, please refer to the prospectus for the underlying portfolio.

The JHVIT and the PIMCO Trust are so-called “series” type mutual funds and each is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company. John Hancock Investment Management Services, LLC (“JHIMS”) provides investment advisory services to the Trust and receives investment management fees for doing so. JHIMS pays a portion of its investment management fees to other firms that manage the Trust’s portfolios. We are affiliated with JHIMS and may indirectly benefit from any investment management fees JHIMS retains. The PIMCO VIT All Asset portfolio of the PIMCO Trust receives investment advisory services from Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) and pays investment management fees to PIMCO.

Each of the American Asset Allocation, American Blue Chip Income and Growth, American Bond, American Fundamental Holdings, American Global Diversification, American Global Growth, American Global Small Capitalization, American Growth, American Growth-Income, American High-Income Bond, American International, American New World, and Core Diversified Growth & Income portfolios invests in Series 1 shares of the corresponding investment portfolio of the Trust. The American Asset Allocation, American Blue Chip Income and Growth, American Bond, American Global Growth, American Global Small Capitalization, American Growth, American Growth-Income, American High-Income Bond, American International, and American New World portfolios operate as “feeder funds,” which means that the portfolios do not buy investment securities directly. Instead, they invest in a “master fund” which in turn purchases investment securities. Each of the American feeder fund portfolios has the same investment objective and limitations as its master fund. The prospectus for the American Fund master fund is included with the prospectuses for the underlying funds. We pay American Funds Distributors, Inc., the principal underwriter for the American Funds Insurance Series, a percentage of some or all of the amounts allocated to the “American” portfolios of the Trust for the marketing support services it provides.

The portfolios pay us or certain of our affiliates compensation for some of the distribution, administrative, shareholder support, marketing and other services we or our affiliates provide to the portfolios. The amount of this compensation is based on a percentage of the assets of the portfolios attributable to the variable insurance products that we and our affiliates issue. These percentages may differ from portfolio to portfolio and among classes of shares within a portfolio. In some cases, the compensation is derived from the Rule 12b-1 fees that are deducted from a portfolio’s assets for the services we or our affiliates provide to that portfolio. These compensation payments do not, however, result in any charge to you in addition to what is shown in the prospectus for the underlying portfolio.

The following table provides a general description of the portfolios that underlie the variable investment options we make available under the policy. You bear the investment risk of any portfolio you choose as an investment option for your policy. You can find a full description of each portfolio, including the investment objectives, policies, restrictions, and risks, in the prospectus for that portfolio. You should read the portfolio’s prospectus carefully before investing in the corresponding variable investment option.

The investment options in the Separate Account are not publicly traded mutual funds. The investment options are only available to you as investment options in the policies, or in some cases through other variable annuity contracts or variable life insurance policies issued by us or by other life insurance companies. In some cases, the investment options also may be available through participation in certain qualified pension or retirement plans. The portfolios’ investment advisers and managers (i.e. subadvisers) may manage publicly traded mutual funds with similar names and investment objectives. However, the portfolios are not directly related to any publicly traded mutual fund. You should not compare the performance

of any investment option described in this prospectus with the performance of a publicly traded mutual fund. The performance of any publicly traded mutual fund could differ substantially from that of any of the investment options of our Separate Account.

If the shares of a portfolio are no longer available for investment or in our judgment investment in a portfolio becomes inappropriate, we may eliminate the shares of a portfolio and substitute shares of another portfolio of the Trust or another open-end registered investment company. Substitution may be made with respect to both existing investments and the investment of future purchase payments. However, we will make no such substitution without first notifying you and obtaining approval of the appropriate insurance regulatory authorities and the SEC (to the extent required by the 1940 Act).

We will purchase and redeem series fund shares for the Account at their net asset value without any sales or redemption charges. Shares of a series fund represent an interest in one of the funds of the series fund which corresponds to a subaccount of the Account. Any dividend or capital gains distributions received by the Account will be reinvested in shares of that same fund at their net asset value as of the dates paid.

On each business day, shares of each series fund are purchased or redeemed by us for each subaccount based on, among other things, the amount of net premiums allocated to the subaccount, distributions reinvested, and transfers to, from and among subaccounts, all to be effected as of that date. Such purchases and redemptions are effected at each series fund’s net asset value per share determined for that same date. A “business day” is any date on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading. We compute policy values for each business day as of the close of that day (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time).

We will vote shares of the portfolios held in the Account at the shareholder meetings according to voting instructions received from persons having the voting interest under the policies. We will determine the number of portfolio shares for which voting instructions may be given not more than 90 days prior to the meeting. Proxy material will be distributed to each person having the voting interest under the contract together with appropriate forms for giving voting instructions. We will vote all portfolio shares that we hold (including our own shares and those we hold in the Account for policy owners) in proportion to the instructions so received. The effect of this proportional voting is that a small number of policy owners can determine the outcome of a vote.

We determine the number of a series fund’s shares held in a subaccount attributable to each owner by dividing the amount of a policy’s account value held in the subaccount by the net asset value of one share in the series fund. Fractional votes will be counted. We determine the number of shares as to which the owner may give instructions as of the record date for a series fund’s meeting. Owners of policies may give instructions regarding the election of the Board of Trustees or Board of Directors of a series fund, ratification of the selection of independent auditors, approval of series fund investment advisory agreements and other matters requiring a shareholder vote. We will furnish owners with information and forms to enable owners to give voting instructions. However, we may, in certain limited circumstances permitted by the SEC’s rules, disregard voting instructions. If we do disregard voting instructions, you will receive a summary of that action and the reasons for it in the next semi-annual report to owners.

The voting privileges described above reflect our understanding of applicable Federal securities law requirements. To the extent that applicable law, regulations or interpretations change to eliminate or restrict the need for such voting privileges, we reserve the right to proceed in accordance with any such revised requirements. We also reserve the right, subject to compliance with applicable law, including approval of owners if so required, (1) to transfer assets determined by John

Hancock USA to be associated with the class of policies to which your policy belongs from the Account to another separate account or subaccount, (2) to deregister the Account under the 1940 Act, (3) to substitute for the fund shares held by a subaccount any other investment permitted by law, and (4) to take any action necessary to comply with or obtain any exemptions from the 1940 Act. Any such change will be made only if, in our judgment, the change would best serve the interests of owners of policies in your policy class or would be appropriate in carrying out the purposes of such policies. We would notify owners of any of the foregoing changes and to the extent legally required, obtain approval of affected owners and any regulatory body prior thereto. Such notice and approval, however, may not be legally required in all cases.

Description of John Hancock USA

We are a stock life insurance company incorporated in Maine on August 20, 1955 by a special act of the Maine legislature and redomesticated under the laws of Michigan. We are a licensed life insurance company in the District of Columbia and all states of the United States except New York. Our ultimate parent is Manulife Financial Corporation (“MFC”), a publicly traded company based in Toronto, Canada. MFC is the holding company of John Hancock USA and its subsidiaries. However, neither John Hancock USA nor any of its affiliated companies guarantees the investment performance of the Account.

We are ranked and rated by independent financial rating services, which may include Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s, Fitch and A.M. Best. The purpose of these ratings is to reflect the financial strength or claims-paying ability of the company, but they do not specifically relate to its products, the performance (return) of these products, the value of any investment in these products upon withdrawal or to individual securities held in any portfolio. These ratings do not apply to the safety and performance of the Separate Account.

Description of Separate Account N

The investment accounts shown on page 1 are in fact subaccounts of Separate Account N, a separate account operated by us under Michigan law. The Account meets the definition of “separate account” under the Federal securities laws and is registered as a unit investment trust under the 1940 Act. Such registration does not involve supervision by the SEC of the management of the Account or of us.

The Account’s assets are our property. Each policy provides that amounts we hold in the Account pursuant to the policies cannot be reached by any other persons who may have claims against us and can’t be used to pay any indebtedness of John Hancock USA other than those arising out of policies that use the Account. Income, gains and losses credited to, or charged against, the Account reflect the Account’s own investment experience and not the investment experience of John Hancock USA’s other assets.

New subaccounts may be added and made available to policy owners from time to time. Existing subaccounts may be modified or deleted at any time.

The fixed account

Our obligations under any fixed account are backed by our general account assets. Our general account consists of assets owned by us other than those in the Account and in other separate accounts that we may establish. Subject to applicable law, we have sole discretion over the investment of assets of the general account and policy owners do not share in the investment experience of, or have any preferential claim on, those assets. Instead, we guarantee that the policy value allocated to any fixed account will accrue interest daily at an effective annual rate that we determine without regard to the actual investment experience of the general account. We currently offer only one fixed account — the standard fixed account. The effective annual rate we declare for the fixed account will never be less than 3%. We reserve the right to offer one or more additional fixed accounts with characteristics that differ from those of the current fixed account, but we are under no obligation to do so.

Because of exemptive and exclusionary provisions, interests in our fixed account have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (“1933 Act”) and our general account has not been registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act. Accordingly, neither the general account nor any interests therein are subject to the provisions of these acts, and we have been advised that the staff of the SEC has not reviewed the disclosure in this prospectus relating to any fixed account. Disclosure regarding fixed accounts, however, is subject to certain generally-applicable provisions of the Federal securities laws relating to accuracy and completeness of statements made in prospectuses.

The death benefit

In your application for the policy, you will tell us how much life insurance coverage you want on the life of the insured person. This is called the “Total Face Amount.” Total Face Amount is composed of the Base Face Amount and any Supplemental Face Amount you elect. The Supplemental Face Amount you can have generally cannot exceed 900% of the Base Face Amount at the Issue Date. Thereafter, increases to the Supplemental Face Amount cannot exceed 400% of the Total Face Amount at the Issue Date. There are a number of factors you should consider in determining whether to elect coverage in the form of Base Face Amount or in the form of Supplemental Face Amount. These factors are discussed under “Base Face Amount vs. Supplemental Face Amount” below.

When the insured person dies, we will pay the death benefit minus any outstanding policy debt and unpaid fees and charges. There are two ways of calculating the death benefit. You must choose which one you want in the application. The two death benefit options are described below.

• Option 1 - The death benefit will equal the greater of (1) the Total Face Amount, or (2) the minimum death benefit (as described below).

• Option 2 - The death benefit will equal the greater of (1) the Total Face Amount plus the policy value on the date of death, or (2) the minimum death benefit.

For the same premium payments, the death benefit under Option 2 will tend to be higher than the death benefit under Option 1. On the other hand, the monthly insurance charge will be higher under Option 2 to compensate us for the additional insurance risk. Because of that, the policy value will tend to be higher under Option 1 than under Option 2 for the same premium payments.

Limitations on payment of death benefit

If the insured person commits suicide within certain time periods (generally within two years from the Issue Date of the policy), the amount payable will be equal to the premiums paid, less the amount of any policy debt on the date of death, and less any withdrawals, unless otherwise provided by your policy.

Also if an application misstated the age or sex of the insured person, we will adjust, if necessary, the Base Face Amount, any Supplemental Face Amount, and every other benefit to that which would have been purchased at the correct age or sex by the most recent cost of insurance charge.

Base Face Amount vs. Supplemental Face Amount

As noted above, you should consider a number of factors in determining whether to elect coverage in the form of Base Face Amount or in the form of Supplemental Face Amount.

For the same amount of premiums paid, the amount of the Face Amount charge deducted from policy value and the amount of compensation paid to the selling insurance agent will generally be less if coverage is included as Supplemental Face Amount, rather than as Base Face Amount. On the other hand, the amount of any Supplemental Face Amount included in the calculation of the death benefit at and after the policy anniversary nearest the insured person’s 100^th birthday will be limited to the lesser of the current Supplemental Face Amount or the policy value.

If your priority is to reduce your Face Amount charges, you may wish to maximize the proportion of the Supplemental Face Amount. However, if your priority is to maximize the death benefit when the insured person reaches age 100, then you may wish to maximize the proportion of the Base Face Amount.

The minimum death benefit

In order for a policy to qualify as life insurance under Federal tax law, there has to be a minimum amount of insurance in relation to policy value. There are two tests that can be applied under Federal tax law — the “guideline premium test” and the “cash value accumulation test.” You must elect which test you wish to have applied at issue. Once elected, the test cannot be changed without our approval.

Under the guideline premium test, we compute the minimum death benefit each business day by multiplying the policy value (and any benefit under the Enhanced Cash Value Rider) on that date by the death benefit factor applicable on that date. Factors for some ages are shown in the table below:

22Table Of Contents

Attained Age	Applicable Factor
40 and under	250%
45	215%
50	185%
55	150%
60	130%
65	120%
70	115%
75	105%
90	105%
95 and above	100%

A table showing the factor for each age will appear in the policy.

Under the cash value accumulation test, we compute the minimum death benefit each business day by multiplying the policy value (and any benefit under the Enhanced Cash Value Rider) on that date by the death benefit factor applicable on that date. The factor decreases as attained age increases. A table showing the factor for each age will appear in the policy.

The cash value accumulation test may be preferable if you want to fund the policy so that the minimum death benefit will increase earlier than would be required under the guideline premium test, or if you want to fund the policy at the “7 pay” limit for the full seven years (see “Tax considerations”).

To the extent that the calculation of the minimum death benefit under the selected life insurance qualification test causes the death benefit to exceed our limits, we reserve the right to return premiums or distribute a portion of the policy value so that the resulting amount of insurance is maintained within our limits. Alternatively, if we should decide to accept the additional amount of insurance, we may require additional evidence of insurability.

When the insured person reaches 100

At and after the policy anniversary nearest the insured person’s 100^th birthday, the following will occur:

• Any Supplemental Face Amount will be limited (see “Base Face Amount vs. Supplemental Face Amount”).

• We will stop deducting any monthly deductions.

• We will stop accepting any premium payments.

Requesting an increase in coverage

After the first policy year, you may make a written request for an unscheduled increase in the Supplemental Face Amount. We must receive your written request within two months of your next policy anniversary. Generally, each such increase must be at least $50,000. However, you will have to provide us with evidence that the insured person qualifies for the same risk classification that applied to them at issue. Generally, any increase will be effective on the next policy anniversary following the date we approve the request.

Requesting a decrease in coverage

After the first policy year, we may approve a reduction in the Base Face Amount or the Supplemental Face Amount, but only if:

• the remaining Total Face Amount will be at least $100,000,

• the remaining Base Face Amount will be at least $50,000, and

• the remaining Total Face Amount will at least equal the minimum required by the tax laws to maintain the policy’s life insurance status.

An approved decrease will take effect on the monthly deduction date on or next following the date we approve the request. We reserve the right to require that the Supplemental Face Amount be fully depleted before the Base Face Amount can be reduced.

23Table Of Contents

Change of death benefit option

The death benefit option may be changed from Option 2 to Option 1 after the first policy year. We reserve the right to limit a request for a change if the change would cause the policy to fail to qualify as life insurance for tax purposes. We will not allow a change in death benefit option if it would cause the Total Face Amount to decrease below $100,000.

A change in the death benefit option from Option 2 to Option 1 will result in a change in the policy’s Total Face Amount, in order to avoid any change in the amount of the death benefit. The new Total Face Amount will be equal to the Total Face Amount prior to the change plus the policy value as of the date of the change. The change will take effect on the monthly deduction date on or next following the date the written request for the change is received at our Service Office.

If you change the death benefit option, the Federal tax law test (“guideline premium test” or “cash value accumulation test”) that you elected at issue will continue to apply. Please read “The minimum death benefit” for more information about these Federal tax laws tests.

Tax consequences of coverage changes

A change in the death benefit option or Total Face Amount will often change the policy’s limits under the Federal tax law test that you elected. To avoid having the policy cease to qualify as life insurance for tax purposes, we reserve the right to (i) refuse or limit a change in the death benefit option or Total Face Amount and (ii) change the Guideline Single Premium or Guideline Level Premium, as applicable. Please read “Tax considerations” to learn about possible tax consequences of changing your insurance coverage under the policy.

Your beneficiary

You name your beneficiary when you apply for the policy. The beneficiary is entitled to the proceeds we pay following the insured person’s death. You may change the beneficiary during the insured person’s lifetime. Such a change requires the consent of any named irrevocable beneficiary. A new beneficiary designation will not affect any payments we make before we receive it. If no beneficiary is living when the insured person dies, we will pay the insurance proceeds to the owner or the owner’s estate.

Ways in which we pay out policy proceeds

You may choose to receive proceeds from the policy as a single sum. This includes proceeds that become payable because of death or surrender. Alternatively, you can select to have proceeds of $1,000 or more applied to any of the other payment options we may offer at the time. You cannot choose an option if the monthly payments under the option would be less than $50. We will issue a supplementary agreement when the proceeds are applied to any alternative payment option. That agreement will spell out the terms of the option in full. If no alternative payment option is chosen, proceeds may be paid as a single sum.

Changing a payment option

You can change the payment option at any time before the proceeds are payable. If you haven’t made a choice, the payee of the proceeds has a prescribed period in which he or she can make that choice.

Tax impact of payment option chosen

There may be tax consequences to you or your beneficiary depending upon which payment option is chosen. You should consult with a qualified tax adviser before making that choice.

Premiums

Planned premiums

The Policy Specifications page of your policy will show the “Planned Premium” for the policy. You choose this amount in the policy application. You will also choose how often to pay premiums — annually, semi-annually, quarterly or monthly. The premium reminder notice we send you is based on the amount and period you choose. However, payment of Planned Premiums is not necessarily required. You need only pay enough premium to keep the policy in force (see “Lapse and reinstatement”).

24Table Of Contents

Minimum initial premium

The Minimum Initial Premium is set forth in the Policy Specifications page of your policy. After the payment of the initial premium, premiums may be paid at any time and in any amount until the insured person’s attained age 100 , subject to the limitations on premium amount described below.

Maximum premium payments

Federal tax law limits the amount of premium payments you can make relative to the amount of your policy’s insurance coverage. We will not knowingly accept any amount by which a premium payment exceeds this limit. If you exceed certain other limits, the law may impose a penalty on amounts you take out of your policy. More discussion of these tax law requirements is provided under “Tax considerations.”

Large premium payments may expose us to unanticipated investment risk, and we will generally refuse to accept premiums in excess of the Maximum Annual Premium limit set forth in the Policy Specifications. In addition, in order to limit our investment risk exposure under certain market conditions, we may refuse to accept additional premium payments that are not in excess of the Maximum Annual Premium limit.nbsp; This may be the case, for example, in an environment of decreasing interest rates, where we may not be able to acquire investments for our general account that will sufficiently match the liabilities we are incurring under our fixed account guarantees. Excessive allocations may also interfere with the effective management of our variable investment account portfolios, if we are unable to make an orderly investment of the additional premium into the portfolios. Also, we may refuse to accept an amount of additional premium if the amount of the additional premium would increase our insurance risk exposure, and the insured person doesn’t provide us with adequate evidence that he or she continues to meet our requirements for issuing insurance.

We will notify you in writing of our refusal to accept additional premium under these provisions within three days following the date that it is received by us, and will promptly thereafter take the necessary steps to return the premium to you. Notwithstanding the foregoing limits on the additional premium that we will accept, we will not refuse to accept any premium necessary to prevent the policy from terminating.

Processing premium payments

No premiums will be accepted prior to our receipt of a completed application at our Service Office. All premiums received prior to the Issue Date of the policy will be held in the general account and credited with interest from the date of receipt at the rate then being earned on amounts allocated to the Money Market B investment account. All premiums received on or after the Issue Date, but prior to the Allocation Date, will be held in the Money Market B investment account. The “Allocation Date” of the policy is the 10th day after the Issue Date. The Issue Date is shown on the Policy Specifications page of the policy. On the Allocation Date, the Net Premiums paid plus interest credited, if any, will be allocated among the investment accounts or the fixed account in accordance with the policy owner’s instructions. The “Net Premium” is the premium paid less the premium charge we deduct from it.

Any Net Premium received on or after the Allocation Date will be allocated among investment accounts or the fixed account as of the business day on or next following the date the premium is received at the Service Office. Monthly deductions are normally due on the Policy Date and at the beginning of each policy month thereafter. However, if the monthly deductions are due prior to the Contract Completion Date, they will be deducted from policy value on the Contract Completion Date instead of the dates they were due (see “Procedures for issuance of a policy” for the definition of “Contract Completion Date”).

Payment of premiums will not guarantee that the policy will stay in force. Conversely, failure to pay premiums will not necessarily cause the policy to lapse.

Ways to pay premiums

If you pay premiums by check or money order, they must be drawn on a U.S. bank in U.S. dollars and made payable to “John Hancock.” We will not accept credit card checks. We will not accept starter or third party checks if they fail to satisfy our administrative requirements. Premiums after the first must be sent to the John Hancock USA Service Office at the appropriate address shown on the back cover of this prospectus. We will also accept premiums by wire or by exchange from another insurance company.

25Table Of Contents

Lapse and reinstatement

Lapse

A policy will go into default if at the beginning of any policy month the policy’s net cash surrender value would be zero or below after deducting the monthly deductions then due. Therefore, a policy could lapse eventually if increases in policy value (prior to deduction of policy charges) are not sufficient to cover policy charges. A lapse could have adverse tax consequences as described under “Tax considerations.” We will notify you of the default and will allow a 61 day grace period in which you may make a premium payment sufficient to bring the policy out of default. The required payment will be equal to the amount necessary to bring the net cash surrender value to zero, if it was less than zero on the date of default, plus the monthly deductions due at the date of default and payable at the beginning of each of the two policy months thereafter, plus any applicable premium charge. If the required payment is not received by the end of the grace period, the policy will terminate (i.e., “lapse”) with no value.

Death during grace period

If the insured person should die during the grace period, the policy value used in the calculation of the death benefit will be the policy value as of the date of default and the insurance benefit will be reduced by any outstanding monthly deductions due at the time of death.

Reinstatement

You can reinstate a policy that has gone into default and terminated at any time within 21 days following the date of termination without furnishing evidence of insurability, subject to the following conditions:

(a)	The insured person’s risk classification is standard or preferred, and
(b)	The insured person’s attained age is less than 46.

By making a written request, you can reinstate a policy that has gone into default and terminated at any time within the three-year period following the date of termination subject to the following conditions:

(a)	You must provide to us evidence of the insured person’s insurability that is satisfactory to us; and
(b)	You must pay a premium equal to the amount that was required to bring the policy out of default immediately prior to termination, plus the amount needed to keep the policy in force to the next scheduled date for payment of the Planned Premium.

If the reinstatement is approved, the date of reinstatement will be the later of the date we approve your request or the date the required payment is received at our Service Office. The policy value on the date of reinstatement, prior to the crediting of any Net Premium paid in connection with the reinstatement, will be equal to the policy value on the date the policy terminated. Any policy debt not paid upon termination of a policy will be reinstated if the policy is reinstated.

Generally, the suicide exclusion and incontestability provisions will apply from the effective date of reinstatement. A surrendered policy cannot be reinstated.

The policy value

From each premium payment you make, we deduct the applicable premium charges described under “Deduction from premium payments.” We invest the rest (known as the “Net Premium”) in the accounts (fixed or investment) you’ve elected. Special investment rules apply to premiums processed prior to the Allocation Date (see “Processing premium payments”).

Over time, the amount you’ve invested in any investment account will increase or decrease the same as if you had invested the same amount directly in the corresponding underlying portfolio and had reinvested all portfolios’ dividends and distributions in additional portfolio shares, except that we will deduct certain additional charges which will reduce your policy value. We describe these charges under “Description of charges at the policy level.”

We calculate the unit values for each investment account once every business day as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange, usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Sales and redemptions within any investment account will be transacted using the unit value next calculated after we receive your request either in writing or other form that we specify. If we receive your request before the close of our business day, we’ll use the unit value calculated as of the end of that business

26Table Of Contents

day. If we receive your request at or after the close of our business day, we’ll use the unit value calculated as of the end of the next business day. If a scheduled transaction falls on a day that is not a business day, we’ll process it as of the end of the next business day.

The amount you’ve invested in the fixed account will earn interest at the rates we declare from time to time. For the fixed account, we guarantee that this rate will be at least 3%. If you want to know what the current declared rate is for the fixed account, just call or write to us. The asset-based risk charge only applies to that portion of the policy value held in the investment accounts. The charge determined does not apply to the fixed account. Otherwise, the policy level charges applicable to the fixed account are the same as those applicable to the investment accounts. We reserve the right to offer one or more additional fixed accounts with characteristics that differ from those of the current fixed account, but we are under no obligation to do so.

Allocation of future premium payments

At any time, you may change the accounts (fixed or investment) in which future premium payments will be invested. You make the original allocation in the application for the policy. The percentages you select must be in whole numbers and must total 100%.

Transfers of existing policy value

You may also transfer your existing policy value from one account (fixed or investment) to another, subject to the limitations discussed below. To do so, you must tell us how much to transfer, either as a whole number percentage or as a specific dollar amount. A confirmation of each transfer will be sent to you. Without our approval, the maximum amount you may transfer to or from any account in any policy year is $1,000,000.

The policies are not designed for professional market timing organizations or highly active traders, including persons or entities that engage in programmed, large or frequent transfers among investment accounts and between the investment accounts and any available fixed account. As a consequence, we have reserved the right to impose certain restrictions on transfers as described in the “Market timing and disruptive trading risks” section of this prospectus. We also reserve the right to impose a fee of up to $25 for any transfer beyond an annual limit (which will not be less than twelve). No transfer fee will be imposed on any transfer from an investment account into a fixed account if the transfer occurs during the following periods:

• within 18 months after the policy’s Issue Date, or

• within 60 days after the later of the effective date of a material change in the investment objectives of any investment account or the date you are notified of the change.

Subject to the restrictions set forth below, you may transfer existing policy value into or out of investment accounts. Transfers out of a fixed account are subject to additional limitations noted below.

Limitations on transfers to or from an investment account. Our current practice is to restrict transfers into or out of investment accounts to two per calendar month (except with respect to those policies described in the following paragraphs). For purposes of this restriction, and in applying the limitation on the number of free transfers, any transfers made during the period from the opening of a business day (usually 9:00 a.m. Eastern time) to the close of that business day (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) are considered one transfer. You may, however, transfer to the Money Market B investment account even if the two transfer per month limit has been reached, but only if 100% of the account value in all investment accounts is transferred to the Money Market B investment account. If such a transfer to the Money Market B investment account is made, then for the 30 calendar day period after such transfer no transfers from the Money Market B investment account to any other accounts (fixed or investment) may be made. If your policy offers a dollar cost averaging or automatic asset allocation rebalancing program, any transfers pursuant to such program are not considered transfers subject to these restrictions on frequent trading. The restrictions described in this paragraph will be applied uniformly to all policy owners subject to the restrictions.

Policies such as yours may be purchased by a corporation or other entity as a means to informally finance the liabilities created by an employee benefit plan, and to this end the entity may aggregately manage the policies purchased to match its liabilities under the plan. Policies sold under these circumstances are subject to special transfer restrictions. In lieu of the two transfers per month restriction, we will allow the policy owner under these circumstances to rebalance the investment options in its policies within the following limits: (i) during the 10 calendar day period after any policy values are transferred from one investment account into a second investment account, the values can only be transferred out of the second investment

27Table Of Contents

account if they are transferred into the Money Market B investment account; and (ii) any policy values that would otherwise not be transferable by application of the 10 day limit described above and that are transferred into the Money Market B investment account may not be transferred out of the Money Market B investment account into any other accounts (fixed or investment) for 30 calendar days. The restrictions described in this paragraph will be applied uniformly to all policy owners subject to the restrictions.

Subject to our approval, we may offer policies purchased by a corporation or other entity that has purchased policies to match its liabilities under an employee benefit plan, as described above, the ability to electronically rebalance the investment options in its policies. Under these circumstances, in lieu of imposing any specific limit upon the number and timing of transfers, we will monitor aggregate trades among the subaccounts for frequency, pattern and size for potentially harmful investment practices. If we detect trading activity that we believe may be harmful to the overall operation of any investment account or underlying portfolio, we may impose conditions on policies employing electronic rebalancing to submit trades, including setting limits upon the number and timing of transfers, and revoking privileges to make trades by any means other than written communication submitted via U.S. mail.

While we seek to identify and prevent disruptive frequent trading activity, it may not always be possible to do so. Therefore no assurance can be given that the restrictions we impose will be successful in preventing all disruptive frequent trading and avoiding harm to long-term investors. The restrictions described in these paragraphs will be applied uniformly to all policy holders subject to the restrictions.

Rule 22c-2 under the 1940 Act requires us to provide tax identification numbers and other policy owner transaction information to the Trust or to other investment companies in which the Separate Account invests, at their request. An investment company will use this information to identify any pattern or frequency of investment account transfers that may violate their frequent trading policy. An investment company may require us to impose trading restrictions in addition to those described above if violations of their frequent trading policy are discovered.

Limitations on transfers out of the fixed account. Transfers out of the fixed account in any one policy year are limited to the greater of (i) the fixed account maximum transfer amount of $2,000, (ii) the fixed account maximum transfer percentage of 25% multiplied by the amount of the fixed account on the immediately preceding policy anniversary, or (iii) the amount transferred out of the fixed account during the previous policy year. Any transfer, that involves a transfer out of the fixed account may not involve a transfer to the Money Market B investment account.

We reserve the right to impose a minimum amount limit on transfers out of any fixed account. We also reserve the right to impose different restrictions on any additional fixed account that we may offer in the future.

Dollar cost averaging. We may offer policy owners a dollar cost averaging (“DCA”) program. Under the DCA program, you will designate an amount that will be transferred monthly from one investment account into any other investment account(s) or the fixed account. If insufficient funds exist to effect a DCA transfer, the transfer will not be effected and you will be so notified. No fee is charged for this program.

We reserve the right to cease to offer this program as of 90 days after written notice is sent to you.

Asset allocation balancer transfers. Under the asset allocation balancer program you will designate an allocation of policy value among investment accounts. We will move amounts among the investment accounts at specified intervals you select - annually, semi-annually, quarterly or monthly. A change to your premium allocation instructions will automatically result in a change in asset allocation balancer instructions so that the two are identical unless you either instruct us otherwise or have elected the dollar cost averaging program. No fee is charged for this program.

We reserve the right to cease to offer this program as of 90 days after written notice is sent to you.

Surrender and withdrawals

Surrender

You may surrender your policy in full at any time. If you do, we will pay you the policy value less any policy debt. This is called your “net cash surrender value.” You must return your policy when you request a surrender. We will process surrenders on the day we receive the surrender request (unless such day is not a business day, in which case we will process surrenders as of the business day next following the date of the receipt).

28Table Of Contents

Withdrawals

After the first policy year, you may make a withdrawal of part of your net cash surrender value once in each policy month. Generally, each withdrawal must be at least $500. There is a withdrawal fee for each withdrawal of the lesser of 2% of the withdrawal amount or $25. We will automatically reduce the policy value of your policy by the amount of the withdrawal fee. Unless otherwise specified by you, each account (fixed and investment) will be reduced in the same proportion as the policy value is then allocated among them. We will not permit a withdrawal if it would cause your net cash surrender value to fall below 3 months’ worth of monthly deductions (see “Deductions from policy value”). We also reserve the right to refuse any withdrawal that would cause the policy’s Total Face Amount to fall below $100,000 or the Base Face Amount to fall below $50,000.

Because it reduces the policy value, any withdrawal will reduce your death benefit under either Option 1 or Option 2 (see “The death benefit”). Under Option 1, such a withdrawal may also reduce the Total Face Amount. Generally, any such reduction in the Total Face Amount will be implemented by first reducing any Supplemental Face Amount then in effect. We may approve reductions in the Base Face Amount prior to eliminating the Supplemental Face Amount. You should consider a number of factors in determining whether to continue coverage in the form of Base Face Amount or Supplemental Face Amount (see “Base Face Amount vs. Supplemental Face Amount”). If such a reduction in Total Face Amount would cause the policy to fail the Internal Revenue Code’s definition of life insurance, we will not permit the withdrawal.

Policy loans

You may borrow from your policy at any time by completing a form satisfactory to us. The amount available for loan will not be less than 75% of the net cash surrender value. The maximum amount you can borrow is the amount determined as set out below.

• We first determine the net cash surrender value of your policy.

• We then subtract an amount equal to 12 times the monthly deductions then being deducted from policy value.

• We then multiply the resulting amount by 0.75% in policy years 1 through 10 and 0% thereafter (although we reserve the right to increase the percentage after the tenth policy year to as much as ..25%).

• We then subtract the third item above from the second item above.

The minimum amount of each loan is $500. The interest charged on any loan is an effective annual rate of 3.75% in the first 10 policy years and 3.00% thereafter. However, we reserve the right to increase the percentage after the tenth policy year to as much as 3.25%. Accrued interest will be added to the loan daily and will bear interest at the same rate as the original loan amount. Unless otherwise specified by you, the amount of the loan is deducted from the accounts (fixed and investment) in the same proportion as the policy value is then allocated among them. The amount of the loan is then placed in a special loan account. This special loan account will earn interest at an effective annual rate of 3.00%. The tax consequences of a loan interest credited differential of 0% are unclear. You should consult a tax adviser before effecting a loan to evaluate possible tax consequences. If we determine that a loan will be treated as a taxable distribution because of the differential between the loan interest rate and the rate being credited on the special loan account, we reserve the right to increase the rate charged on the loan to a rate that would, in our reasonable judgment, result in the transaction being treated as a loan under Federal tax law. The right to increase the rate charged on the loan is restricted in some states. Please see your John Hancock USA representative for details. We process policy loans as of the business day on or next following the day we receive the loan request.

Repayment of policy loans

You can repay all or part of a loan at any time. Each repayment will be allocated among the accounts as set out below.

• The same proportionate part of the loan as was borrowed from the fixed account will be repaid to that fixed account.

• The remainder of the repayment will be allocated among the accounts in the same way a new premium payment would be allocated (unless otherwise specified by you).

If you want a payment to be used as a loan repayment, you must include instructions to that effect. Otherwise, all payments will be assumed to be premium payments. We process loan repayments as of the day we receive the repayment.

29Table Of Contents

Effects of policy loans

The policy value, the net cash surrender value, and any death benefit are permanently affected by any loan, whether or not it is repaid in whole or in part. This is because the amount of the loan is deducted from the accounts and placed in a special loan account. The accounts and the special loan account will generally have different rates of investment return.

The amount of the outstanding loan (which includes accrued and unpaid interest) is subtracted from the amount otherwise payable when the policy proceeds become payable.

Taking out a loan on the policy increases the risk that the policy may lapse because of the difference between the interest rate charged on the loan and the interest rate credited to the special loan account. Also, whenever the outstanding loan equals or exceeds your policy value after the insured person reaches age 100, the policy will terminate 31 days after we have mailed notice of termination to you (and to any assignee of record at such assignee’s last known address) specifying the amount that must be paid to avoid termination, unless a repayment of at least the amount specified is made within that period. Policy loans may also result in adverse tax consequences under certain circumstances (see “Tax considerations”).

Description of charges at the policy level

Deduction from premium payments

• Premium charge - A charge to help defray our sales costs and related taxes. The current charge is 1.5% of each premium paid, although we reserve the right to increase the percentage to as high as 7%.

Deductions from policy value

• Administrative charge - A monthly charge to help cover our administrative costs. This is a flat dollar charge of up to $12.

• Face Amount charge - A monthly charge for the first ten policy years to primarily help cover sales costs. To determine the charge we multiply the amount of Base Face Amount at issue by a rate which varies by duration (Policy Year) and by the insured person’s sex and issue age.

• Cost of insurance charge - A monthly charge for the cost of insurance. To determine the charge, we multiply the net amount of insurance for which we are then at risk by a cost of insurance rate. The rate is derived from an actuarial table. The table in your policy will show the maximum cost of insurance rates. The cost of insurance rates that we currently apply are generally less than the maximum rates. The current rates will never be more than the maximum rates shown in the policy. The cost of insurance we use will depend on age of the insured person at issue, the insurance risk characteristics and (usually) gender of the insured person, the and the length of time the policy has been in effect. Regardless of the table used, cost of insurance rates generally increase each year that you own your policy, as the insured person‘s age increases. (The insured person’s “age” on any date is his or her age on the birthday nearest that date.) For death benefit Option 1, the net amount at risk is equal to the greater of zero, or the result of (a) minus (b) where:

  (a) is the death benefit as of the first day of the Policy Month, divided by 1.0024663; and

  (b) is the policy value as of the first day of the Policy Month after the deduction of all other monthly deductions.

Since the net amount at risk for death benefit Option 1 is based on a formula that includes as factors the death benefit and the policy value, the net amount at risk is affected by the investment performance of the investment accounts chosen, payment of premiums and charges assessed.

If the minimum death benefit is greater than the Total Face Amount, the cost of insurance charge will reflect the amount of that additional benefit.

For death benefit Option 2, the net amount at risk is equal to the Total Face Amount of insurance divided by 1.0024663.

• Asset-based risk charge - A monthly charge to help cover sales, administrative and other costs. The charge is a percentage of that portion of your policy value allocated to investment accounts. This charge does not apply to the current fixed account.

• Supplementary benefits charges - Monthly charges for any supplementary insurance benefits added to the policy by means of a rider.

30Table Of Contents

• Withdrawal fee - A fee for each withdrawal of policy value to compensate us for the administrative expenses of processing the withdrawal. The fee is the lesser of 2% of the withdrawal amount or $25. This fee is not currently imposed, but we reserve the right to do so.

Additional information about how certain policy charges work

Sales expenses and related charges

The premium charges help to compensate us for the cost of selling our policies (see “Description of charges at the policy level”). The amount of the charges in any policy year does not specifically correspond to sales expenses for that year. We expect to recover our total sales expenses over the life of the policies. To the extent that the premium charges do not cover total sales expenses, the sales expenses may be recovered from other sources, including gains from the asset-based risk charge and other gains with respect to the policies, or from our general assets. Similarly, administrative expenses not fully recovered by the administrative charge may also be recovered from such other sources.

Method of deduction

We deduct the monthly deductions described in the Fee Tables section from your policy’s accounts (fixed and investment) in proportion to the amount of policy value you have in each, unless otherwise specified by you.

Reduced charges for eligible classes

The charges otherwise applicable may be reduced with respect to policies issued to a class of associated individuals or to a trustee, employer or similar entity where we anticipate that the sales to the members of the class will result in lower than normal sales or administrative expenses, lower taxes or lower risks to us. We will make these reductions in accordance with our rules in effect at the time of the application for a policy. The factors we consider in determining the eligibility of a particular group for reduced charges, and the level of the reduction, are as follows: the nature of the association and its organizational framework; the method by which sales will be made to the members of the class; the facility with which premiums will be collected from the associated individuals and the association’s capabilities with respect to administrative tasks; the anticipated lapse and surrender rates of the policies; the size of the class of associated individuals and the number of years it has been in existence; the aggregate amount of premiums paid; and any other such circumstances which result in a reduction in sales or administrative expenses, lower taxes or lower risks. Any reduction in charges will be reasonable and will apply uniformly to all prospective policy purchasers in the class and will not unfairly discriminate against any owner.

Other charges we could impose in the future

Except for a portion of the premium charge, we currently make no charge for our Federal income taxes. However, if we incur, or expect to incur, income taxes attributable to any subaccount of the Account or this class of policies in future years, we reserve the right to make a charge for such taxes. Any such charge would reduce what you earn on any affected investment accounts. However, we expect that no such charge will be necessary.

We also reserve the right to increase the premium charge in order to correspond with changes in the state premium tax levels or in the Federal income tax treatment of the deferred acquisition costs for this type of policy. Premium taxes vary by jurisdiction and are subject to change. Currently, premium tax levels range from 0% to 3.5%.

Under current laws, we may incur state and local taxes (in addition to premium taxes) in several states. At present, these taxes are not significant. If there is a material change in applicable state or local tax laws, we may make charges for such taxes.

Description of charges at the portfolio level

The portfolios must pay investment management fees and other operating expenses. These fees and expenses (shown in the tables of portfolio annual expenses under “Fee Tables”) are different for each portfolio and reduce the investment return of each portfolio. Therefore, they also indirectly reduce the return you will earn on any investment accounts you select. Expenses of the portfolios are not fixed or specified under the terms of the policy, and those expenses may vary from year to year.

Other policy benefits, rights and limitations

Optional supplementary benefit riders you can add

When you apply for a policy, you can request any of the optional supplementary benefit riders that we then make available. Availability of any rider, the benefits it provides and the charges for it may vary by state. Our rules and procedures will govern eligibility for any rider and, in some cases, the configuration of the actual rider benefits. Each rider contains specific details that you should review before you decide to choose the rider. Charges for most riders will be deducted from the policy value. We may change these charges (or the rates that determine them), but not above any applicable maximum amount stated in the Policy Specifications page of your policy. We may add to, delete from or modify the list of optional supplementary benefit riders.

• Enhanced Cash Value Rider - This rider provides for payment of an additional benefit to the policy owner upon surrender of the policy in the first seven policy years. The Enhanced Cash Value Rider benefit is calculated as a percentage of the lesser of (i) cumulative premiums paid to date or (ii) the “Limiting Premium” shown in the Policy Specifications page of your policy, minus any withdrawals and policy debt. The percentage starts at 11% and reduces to 0% in the eighth policy year. The cumulative premiums for any policy year are equal to the lesser of the actual premium paid in that policy year and the Limiting Premium. The Enhanced Cash Value Rider is only available if: (i) notice of surrender is received at our Service Office prior to the death of the insured person, (ii) such surrender is not the result of an exchange under section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code, and (iii) the rider has not terminated pursuant to its terms. This rider does not increase the available loan value of the policy.

• Change of Life Insured Rider - This rider is only available to certain owners purchasing the policy in connection with the financing of employee benefit plan obligations. If you elect this rider, you may change the life insured on or after the second policy anniversary. You must have an insurable interest in the new life insured, and the new life insured must consent in writing to the change. We will require evidence which satisfies us of the new life insured’s insurability, and the premiums and charges after the change date will reflect the new life insured’s age, sex, risk classification and any additional rating which applies. Supplementary benefit riders on the old life insured will be canceled as of the change date. Supplementary benefits riders may be added on the new life insured as of the change date, subject to our normal requirements and restrictions for such benefits. The incontestability and suicide provisions of the policy will apply to the entire Face Amount beginning anew as of the change date.

• Overloan Protection Rider - This rider will prevent your policy from lapsing on any date if policy debt exceeds the death benefit. The benefit is subject to a number of eligibility requirements relating to, among other things, the number of years the policy has been in force, the attained age of the life insured, the death benefit option elected and the tax status of the policy.

When the Overloan Protection benefit in this rider is invoked, all values in the investment accounts are immediately transferred to the fixed account and will continue to grow at the current fixed account interest rate. Transfer fees do not apply to these transfers. Thereafter, policy changes and transactions are limited as set forth in the rider; for example, death benefit increases or decreases, additional premium payments, policy loans, withdrawals, surrender and transfers are no longer allowed. Any outstanding policy debt will remain. Interest will continue to be charged at the policy‘s specified loan interest rate, and the policy’s loan account will continue to be credited with the policy’s loan interest credited rate. Any supplementary benefit rider requiring a monthly deduction will automatically be terminated.

When the Overloan Protection Rider causes the policy to be converted into a fixed policy, there is risk that the Internal Revenue Service could assert that the policy has been effectively terminated and that the outstanding loan balance should be treated as a distribution. Depending on the circumstances, all or part of such deemed distribution may be taxable as income. You should consult a tax adviser as to the risks associated with the Overloan Protection Rider.

Variations in policy terms

Insurance laws and regulations apply to us in every state in which our policies are sold. As a result, terms and conditions of your insurance coverage may vary depending on where you purchase a policy. We disclose all material variations in this prospectus.

We may vary the charges and other terms of our policies where special circumstances result in sales or administrative expenses, mortality risks or other risks that are different from those normally associated with the policies. These include the

32Table Of Contents

type of variations discussed under “Reduced charges for eligible classes.” No variation in any charge will exceed any maximum stated in this prospectus with respect to that charge.

Any variation discussed above will be made only in accordance with uniform rules that we adopt and that we apply fairly to our customers.

Procedures for issuance of a policy

Generally, the policy is available with a minimum Total Face Amount at issue of $100,000 and a minimum Base Face Amount at issue of $50,000. At the time of issue, the insured person must have an attained age of no more than 90. The insured person must meet certain health and other insurance risk criteria called “underwriting standards.”

Policies issued in Montana or in connection with certain employee plans will not directly reflect the sex of the insured person in either the premium rates or the charges or values under the policy.

Commencement of insurance coverage

After you apply for a policy, it can sometimes take up to several weeks for us to gather and evaluate all the information we need to decide whether to issue a policy to you and, if so, what the insured person’s risk classification should be. After we approve an application for a policy and assign an appropriate insurance risk classification, we will prepare the policy for delivery. We will not pay a death benefit under a policy unless the policy is in effect when the insured person dies (except for the circumstances described under “Temporary coverage prior to policy delivery” below).

The policy will take effect only if all of the following conditions are satisfied:

• The policy is delivered to and received by the applicant.

• The Minimum Initial Premium is received by us.

• The insured person is living and there has been no deterioration in the insurability of the insured person since the date of the application.

The date all of the above conditions are satisfied is referred to in this prospectus as the “Contract Completion Date.” If all of the above conditions are satisfied, the policy will take effect on the date shown in the policy as the “Policy Date.” That is the date on which we begin to deduct monthly charges. Policy months, policy years and policy anniversaries are all measured from the Policy Date.

Backdating

Under limited circumstances, we may backdate a policy, upon request, by assigning a Policy Date earlier than the date the application is signed. However, in no event will a policy be backdated earlier than the earliest date allowed by state law, which is generally three months to one year prior to the date of application for the policy. The most common reasons for backdating are to preserve a younger age at issue for the insured person or to retain a common monthly deduction date in certain corporate-owned life insurance cases involving multiple policies issued over time. If used to preserve age, backdating will result in lower insurance charges. However, monthly deductions will begin earlier than would otherwise be the case. Monthly deductions for the period the Policy Date is backdated will actually be deducted from policy value on the Contract Completion Date.

Temporary coverage prior to policy delivery

If a specified amount of premium is paid with the application for a policy and other conditions are met, we will provide temporary term life insurance coverage on the insured person for a period prior to the time coverage under the policy takes effect. Such temporary term coverage will be subject to the terms and conditions described in the Temporary Life Insurance Agreement and Receipt attached to the application for the policy, including conditions to coverage and limits on amount and duration of coverage.

Monthly deduction dates

Each charge that we deduct monthly is assessed against your policy value at the close of business on the Policy Date and at the close of the first day in each subsequent policy month.

33Table Of Contents

Changes that we can make as to your policy

We reserve the right to make any changes in the policy necessary to ensure the policy is within the definition of life insurance under the Federal tax laws and is in compliance with any changes in Federal or state tax laws.

In our policies, we reserve the right to make certain changes if they would serve the best interests of policy owners or would be appropriate in carrying out the purposes of the policies. These changes include those listed below:

• Changes necessary to comply with or obtain or continue exemptions under the Federal securities laws.

• Combining or removing fixed accounts or investment accounts.

• Changes in the form of organization of any separate account.

Any such changes will be made only to the extent permitted by applicable laws and only in the manner permitted by such laws. When required by law, we will obtain your approval of the changes and the approval of any appropriate regulatory authority.

The owner of the policy

Who owns the policy? That’s up to the person who applies for the policy. The owner of the policy is the person who can exercise most of the rights under the policy, such as the right to choose the accounts in which to invest or the right to surrender the policy. In many cases, the person buying the policy is also the person who will be the owner. However, the application for a policy can name another person or entity (such as a trust) as owner. Whenever we’ve used the term “you” in this prospectus, we’ve assumed that the reader is the person who has whatever right or privilege is being discussed. There may be tax consequences if the owner and the insured person are different, so you should discuss this issue with your tax adviser.

While the insured person is alive, you will have a number of options under the policy. These options include those listed below:

• Determine when and how much you invest in the various accounts.

• Borrow or withdraw amounts you have in the accounts.

• Change the beneficiary who will receive the death benefit.

• Change the amount of insurance.

• Turn in (i.e., “surrender”) the policy for the full amount of its net cash surrender value.

• Choose the form in which we will pay out the death benefit or other proceeds.

It is possible to name so-called “joint owners” of the policy. If more than one person owns a policy, all owners must join in most requests to exercise rights under the policy.

Policy cancellation right

You have the right to cancel your policy within ten days after you receive it (the period may be longer in some states). This is often referred to as the “free look” period. During this period, your premiums will be allocated as described under “Processing premium payments” in this prospectus. To cancel your policy, simply deliver or mail the policy to:

• John Hancock USA at either of the addresses shown on the back cover of this prospectus, or

• the John Hancock USA representative who delivered the policy to you.

The date of cancellation will be the date of such mailing or delivery. In most states, you will receive a refund of any premiums you’ve paid. In some states, the refund will be your policy value on the date of cancellation.

Reports that you will receive

At least annually, we will send you a statement setting forth at least the following information as of the end of the most recent reporting period: the amount of the death benefit, the portion of the policy value in the fixed account and in each investment account, premiums received and charges deducted from premiums since the last report, any outstanding policy loan (and interest charged for the preceding policy year), and any further information required by law. Moreover, you also will receive confirmations of premium payments, transfers among accounts, policy loans, partial withdrawals and certain other policy transactions.

34Table Of Contents

Semi-annually we will send you a report containing the financial statements of the portfolios, including a list of securities held in each portfolio.

Assigning your policy

You may assign your rights in the policy to someone else as collateral for a loan or for some other reason. Assignments do not require the consent of any revocable beneficiary. A copy of the assignment must be forwarded to us. We are not responsible for any payment we make or any action we take before we receive a copy of the assignment at our Service Office. Nor are we responsible for the validity of the assignment or its efficacy in meeting your objectives. An absolute assignment is a change of ownership. All collateral assignees of record must usually consent to any surrender, withdrawal or loan from the policy.

When we pay policy proceeds

General

We will ordinarily pay any death benefit, withdrawal, surrender value or loan within seven days after we receive the last required form or request (and, with respect to the death benefit, any other documentation that may be required). If we don’t have information about the desired manner of payment within seven days after the date we receive documentation of the insured person’s death, we will pay the proceeds as a single sum.

Delay to challenge coverage

We may challenge the validity of your insurance policy based on any material misstatements made to us in the application for the policy. We cannot make such a challenge, however, beyond certain time limits that are specified by the laws of the state in which your policy was issued.

Delay for check clearance

We reserve the right to defer payment of that portion of your policy value that is attributable to a premium payment made by check for a reasonable period of time (not to exceed fifteen days) to allow the check to clear the banking system. We will not delay payment longer than necessary for us to verify a check has cleared the banking system.

Delay of separate account proceeds

We reserve the right to defer payment of any death benefit, loan or other distribution that is derived from an investment account if (1) the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend and holiday closings) or trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted; (2) an emergency exists, as determined by the SEC, as a result of which disposal of securities is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable to fairly determine the policy value; or (3) the SEC by order permits the delay for the protection of owners. Transfers and allocations of policy value among the investment accounts may also be postponed under these circumstances. If we need to defer calculation of separate account values for any of the foregoing reasons, all delayed transactions will be processed at the next values that we do compute.

Delay of general account surrender proceeds

State laws allow us to defer payment of any portion of the net cash surrender value derived from the fixed account for up to six months. These laws were enacted many years ago to help insurance companies in the event of a liquidity crisis.

How you communicate with us

General rules

You should mail or express all checks and money orders for premium payments and loan repayments to the John Hancock USA Service Office at the appropriate address shown on the back cover.

Under our current rules, certain requests must be made in writing and be signed and dated by you. Those requests include the following.

• loans

• surrenders or withdrawals

35Table Of Contents

• change of death benefit option

• increase or decrease in Face Amount

• change of beneficiary

• election of payment option for policy proceeds

• tax withholding elections

• election of telephone/internet transaction privilege

The following requests may be made either in writing (signed and dated by you) or by telephone or fax or through the Company’s secured website, if a special form is completed (see “Telephone, facsimile and internet transactions” below).

• transfers of policy value among accounts

• change of allocation among accounts for new premium payments

You should mail or express all written requests to our Service Office at the appropriate address shown on the back cover. You should also send notice of the insured person’s death and related documentation to our Service Office. We do not consider that we’ve “received” any communication until such time as it has arrived at the proper place and in the proper and complete form.

We have special forms that should be used for a number of the requests mentioned above. You can obtain these forms from our Service Office or your John Hancock USA representative. Each communication to us must include your name, your policy number and the name of the insured person. We cannot process any request that doesn’t include this required information. Any communication that arrives after the close of our business day, or on a day that is not a business day, will be considered “received” by us on the next following business day. Our business day currently closes at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, but special circumstances (such as suspension of trading on a major exchange) may dictate an earlier closing time.

Telephone, facsimile and internet transactions

If you complete a special authorization form, you can request transfers among accounts and changes of allocation among accounts simply by telephoning us at 1-800-521-1234 or by faxing us at 1-617-572-1571 or through the Company’s secured website. Any fax or internet request should include your name, daytime telephone number, policy number and, in the case of transfers and changes of allocation, the names of the accounts involved. We will honor telephone and internet instructions from anyone who provides the correct identifying information, so there is a risk of loss to you if this service is used by an unauthorized person. However, you will receive written confirmation of all telephone/internet transactions. There is also a risk that you will be unable to place your request due to equipment malfunction or heavy phone line or internet usage. If this occurs, you should submit your request in writing.

If you authorize telephone or internet transactions, you will be liable for any loss, expense or cost arising out of any unauthorized or fraudulent telephone or internet instructions which we reasonably believe to be genuine, unless such loss, expense or cost is the result of our mistake or negligence. We employ procedures which provide safeguards against the execution of unauthorized transactions which are reasonably designed to confirm that instructions received by telephone or internet are genuine. These procedures include requiring personal identification, the use of a unique password for internet authorization, recording of telephone calls, and providing written confirmation to the owner. If we do not employ reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone or internet are genuine, we may be liable for any loss due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions.

As stated earlier in this prospectus, the policies are not designed for professional market timing organizations or other persons or entities that use programmed, large or frequent transfers among investment options. To discourage disruptive trading, we have imposed certain transfer restrictions (see “Transfers of existing policy value”). In addition, we also reserve the right to change our telephone, facsimile and internet transaction privileges outlined in this section at any time, and to suspend or terminate any or all of those privileges with respect to any owners who we feel are abusing the privileges to the detriment of other owners.

Distribution of policies

John Hancock Distributors LLC (“JH Distributors”), a Delaware limited liability company affiliated with us, is the principal distributor and underwriter of the securities offered through this prospectus and of other annuity and life insurance

36Table Of Contents

products we and our affiliates offer. JH Distributors also acts as the principal underwriter of the Trust, whose securities are used to fund certain investment accounts under the policies and under other annuity and life insurance products we offer.

JH Distributors’ principal address is 200 Bloor Street East, Toronto, Canada M4W 1E5 and it also maintains offices with us at 197 Clarendon Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02116. JH Distributors is a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”) and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).

We offer the policies for sale through individuals who are licensed as insurance agents and who are registered representatives of broker-dealers that have entered into selling agreements with JH Distributors. Our affiliate, Signator Investors, Inc., is one such broker-dealer. In addition, we, either directly or through JH Distributors, have entered into agreements with other financial intermediaries that provide marketing, sales support and certain administrative services to help promote the policies (“financial intermediaries”). In a limited number of cases, we have entered into loans, leases or other financial agreements with these broker-dealers or financial intermediaries or their affiliates.

Compensation

The broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries that distribute or support the marketing of our policies may be compensated by means of various compensation and revenue sharing arrangements. A general description of these arrangements is set out below under “Standard compensation” and “Additional compensation and revenue sharing.” These arrangements may differ between firms, and not all broker-dealers or financial intermediaries will receive the same compensation and revenue sharing benefits for distributing our policies. Also, a broker-dealer may receive more or less compensation or other benefits for the promotion and sale of our policy than it would expect to receive from another issuer.

Under their own arrangements, broker-dealers determine how much of any amounts received from us is to be paid to their registered representatives. Our affiliated broker-dealer, Signator Investors, Inc., may pay its registered representatives additional compensation and benefits, such as bonus payments, expense payments, health and retirement benefits or the waiver of overhead costs or expenses in connection with the sale of the policies that they would not receive in connection with the sale of policies issued by unaffiliated companies.

Policy owners do not pay any compensation or revenue sharing benefits directly. These payments are made from JH Distributors’ and our own revenues, profits or retained earnings, which may be derived from a number of sources, such as fees received from an underlying fund’s distribution plan (“12b-1 fees”), the fees and charges imposed under the policy and other sources.

You should contact your registered representative for more information on compensation arrangements in connection with your purchase of a policy. We provide additional information on special compensation or reimbursement arrangements involving broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries in the Statement of Additional Information, which is available upon request.

Standard compensation. JH Distributors pays compensation to broker-dealers for the promotion and sale of the policies, and for providing ongoing service in relation to policies that have already been purchased. We may also pay a limited number of broker-dealers commissions or overrides to “wholesale” the policies; that is, to provide marketing support and training services to the broker-dealer firms that do the actual selling.

The compensation JH Distributors pays to broker-dealers may vary depending on the selling agreement. The compensation paid is not expected to exceed 35% of target premium, and 6% of premium in excess of target, paid in the first policy year, 6% of target and excess premium paid in years 2-5, and 4.75% of target and excess premium paid in years 6-10. This compensation schedule is exclusive of additional compensation and revenue sharing and inclusive of overrides and expense allowances paid to broker-dealers for sale of the policies (not including riders).

Additional compensation and revenue sharing. To the extent permitted by SEC and FINRA rules and other applicable laws and regulations, we may enter into special compensation or reimbursement arrangements (“revenue sharing”), either directly or through JH Distributors, with selected broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries. In consideration of these arrangements, a firm may feature our policy in its sales system, give us preferential access to sales staff, or allow JH Distributors or its affiliates to participate in conferences, seminars or other programs attended by the firm’s sales force. We hope to benefit from these revenue sharing and other arrangements through increased sales of our policies.

Selling broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries may receive, directly or indirectly, additional payments in the form of cash, other compensation or reimbursement. These additional compensation or reimbursement arrangements may include, for example, payments in connection with the firm’s “due diligence” examination of the policies, payments for

37Table Of Contents

providing conferences or seminars, sales or training programs for invited registered representatives and other employees, payment for travel expenses, including lodging, incurred by registered representatives and other employees for such seminars or training programs, seminars for the public or client seminars, advertising and sales campaigns regarding the policies, payments to assist a firm in connection with its systems, operations and marketing expenses and/or other events or activities sponsored by the firms. We may contribute to, as well as sponsor, various educational programs, sales promotions, and/or other contests in which participating firms and their sales persons may receive gifts and prizes such as merchandise, cash or other rewards as may be permitted under FINRA rules and other applicable laws and regulations.

Tax considerations

This description of Federal income tax consequences is only a brief summary and is neither exhaustive nor authoritative. It was written to support the promotion of our products. It does not constitute legal or tax advice, and it is not intended to be used and cannot be used to avoid any penalties that may be imposed on you. Tax consequences will vary based on your own particular circumstances, and for further information you should consult a qualified tax adviser. Federal, state and local tax laws, regulations and interpretations can change from time to time. As a result, the tax consequences to you and the beneficiary may be altered, in some cases retroactively. The policy may be used in various arrangements, including non-qualified deferred compensation or salary continuation plans, split dollar insurance plans, executive bonus plans, retiree medical benefit plans and others. The tax consequences of such plans may vary depending on the particular facts and circumstances of each individual arrangement. Therefore, if the value of using the policy in any such arrangement depends in part on the tax consequences, a qualified tax adviser should be consulted for advice.

General

We are taxed as a life insurance company. Under current tax law rules, we include the investment income (exclusive of capital gains) of the Separate Account in our taxable income and take deductions for investment income credited to our policy holder reserves. We are also required to capitalize and amortize certain costs instead of deducting those costs when they are incurred. We do not currently charge the Separate Account for any resulting income tax costs, other than a charge we may impose against the Separate Account to compensate us for the cost of a delay in the deductibility of deferred acquisition costs (the “DAC tax” adjustment) pursuant to section 848 of the Internal Revenue Code. We also claim certain tax credits or deductions relating to foreign taxes paid and dividends received by the series funds. These benefits can be material. We do not pass these benefits through to the Separate Account, principally because: (i) the deductions and credits are allowed to us and not the policy owners under applicable tax law; and (ii) the deductions and credits do not represent investment return on the Separate Account assets that is passed through to policy owners.

The policies permit us to deduct a charge for any taxes we incur that are attributable to the operation or existence of the policies or the Separate Account. Currently, we do not anticipate making any specific charge for such taxes other than any DAC tax charge and premium taxes where applicable. If the level of the current taxes increases, however, or is expected to increase in the future, we reserve the right to make a charge in the future.

Death benefit proceeds and other policy distributions

Generally, death benefits paid under policies such as yours are not subject to income tax unless policy ownership has been transferred in exchange for payment. Earnings on your policy value are ordinarily not subject to income tax as long as we don’t pay them out to you. If we do pay out any amount of your policy value upon surrender or partial withdrawal, all or part of that distribution would generally be treated as a return of the premiums you’ve paid and not subjected to income tax. However certain distributions associated with a reduction in death benefit or other policy benefits within the first fifteen years after issuance of the policy are ordinarily taxable in whole or in part. Amounts you borrow are generally not taxable to you.

However, some of the tax rules change if your policy becomes a modified endowment contract. This can happen if you’ve paid premiums in excess of limits prescribed by the tax laws. Additional taxes and penalties may be payable for policy distributions of any kind, including loans. (See “7-pay premium limit and modified endowment contract status” below.)

We expect the policy to receive the same Federal income and estate tax treatment as fixed benefit life insurance policies. Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code defines a life insurance contract for Federal tax purposes. For a policy to be treated as a life insurance contract, it must satisfy either the cash value accumulation test or the guideline premium test. These tests limit the amount of premium that you may pay into the policy. We will monitor compliance with these standards. If we

38Table Of Contents

determine that a policy does not satisfy section 7702, we may take whatever steps are appropriate and reasonable to bring it into compliance with section 7702.

If the policy complies with section 7702, the death benefit proceeds under the policy ordinarily should be excludable from the beneficiary’s gross income under section 101 of the Internal Revenue Code. (As noted above, a transfer of the policy for valuable consideration may limit the exclusion of death benefits from the beneficiary’s income.)

Increases in policy value as a result of interest or investment experience will not be subject to Federal income tax unless and until values are received through actual or deemed distributions. In general, unless the policy is a modified endowment contract, the owner will be taxed only on the amount of distributions that exceed the premiums paid under the policy. An exception to this general rule occurs in the case of a decrease in the policy’s death benefit or any other change that reduces benefits under the policy in the first fifteen years after the policy is issued and that results in a cash distribution to the policy owner. Changes that reduce benefits include partial withdrawals, death benefit option changes, and distributions required to keep the policy in compliance with section 7702. For purposes of this rule any distribution within the two years immediately before a reduction in benefits will also be treated as if it were a result of the reduction. A cash distribution that reduces policy benefits will be taxed in whole or in part (to the extent of any gain in the policy) under rules prescribed in section 7702. The taxable amount is subject to limits prescribed in section 7702(f)(7). Any taxable distribution will be ordinary income to the owner (rather than capital gain).

Distributions for tax purposes include amounts received upon surrender or partial withdrawals. You may also be deemed to have received a distribution for tax purposes if you assign all or part of your policy rights or change your policy’s ownership.

It is possible that, despite our monitoring, a policy might fail to qualify as a life insurance contract under section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code. This could happen, for example, if we inadvertently failed to return to you any premium payments that were in excess of permitted amounts, or if any of the funds failed to meet certain investment diversification or other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. If this were to occur, you would be subject to income tax on the income credited to the policy from the date of issue to the date of the disqualification and for subsequent periods.

Tax consequences of ownership or receipt of policy proceeds under Federal, state and local estate, inheritance, gift and other tax laws will depend on the circumstances of each owner or beneficiary. If the person insured by the policy is also its owner, either directly or indirectly through an entity such as a revocable trust, the death benefit will be includible in his or her estate for purposes of the Federal estate tax. If the owner is not the person insured, the value of the policy will be includible in the owner’s estate upon his or her death. Even if ownership has been transferred, the death proceeds or the policy value may be includible in the former owner’s estate if the transfer occurred less than three years before the former owner’s death or if the former owner retained certain kinds of control over the policy. You should consult your tax adviser regarding these possible tax consequences.

Because there may be unfavorable tax consequences (including recognition of taxable income and the loss of income tax-free treatment for any death benefit payable to the beneficiary), you should consult a qualified tax adviser prior to changing the policy’s ownership or making any assignment of ownership interests.

Policy loans

We expect that, except as noted below (see “7-pay premium limit and modified endowment contract status”), loans received under the policy will be treated as indebtedness of an owner and that no part of any loan will constitute income to the owner. However, if the policy terminates for any reason other than the payment of the death benefit, the amount of any outstanding loan that was not previously considered income will be treated as if it had been distributed to the owner upon such termination. This could result in a considerable tax bill. Under certain circumstances involving large amounts of outstanding loans, you might find yourself having to choose between high premiums required to keep your policy from lapsing and a significant tax burden if you allow the lapse to occur.

Diversification rules and ownership of the Account

Your policy will not qualify for the tax benefits of a life insurance contract unless the Account follows certain rules requiring diversification of investments underlying the policy. In addition, the rules require that the policy owner not have “investor control” over the underlying assets.

In certain circumstances, the owner of a variable life insurance policy may be considered the owner, for Federal income tax purposes, of the assets of the separate account used to support the policy. In those circumstances, income and gains from

39Table Of Contents

the separate account assets would be includible in the policy owner’s gross income. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has stated in published rulings that a variable policy owner will be considered the owner of separate account assets if the policy owner possesses incidents of ownership in those assets, such as the ability to exercise investment control over the assets. A Treasury Decision issued in 1986 stated that guidance would be issued in the form of regulations or rulings on the “extent to which Policyholders may direct their investments to particular sub-accounts of a separate account without being treated as owners of the underlying assets.” As of the date of this prospectus, no comprehensive guidance on this point has been issued. In Rev. Rul. 2003-91, however, the IRS ruled that a contract holder would not be treated as the owner of assets underlying a variable life insurance or annuity contract despite the owner’s ability to allocate funds among as many as twenty subaccounts.

The ownership rights under your policy are similar to, but different in certain respects from, those described in IRS rulings in which it was determined that policyholders were not owners of separate account assets. Since you have greater flexibility in allocating premiums and policy values than was the case in those rulings, it is possible that you would be treated as the owner of your policy’s proportionate share of the assets of the Account.

We do not know what future Treasury Department regulations or other guidance may require. We cannot guarantee that the funds will be able to operate as currently described in the series funds’ prospectuses, or that a series fund will not have to change any fund’s investment objectives or policies. We have reserved the right to modify your policy if we believe doing so will prevent you from being considered the owner of your policy’s proportionate share of the assets of the Account, but we are under no obligation to do so.

7-pay premium limit and modified endowment contract status

At the time of policy issuance, we will determine whether the Planned Premium schedule will exceed the 7-pay limit discussed below. If so, our standard procedures prohibit issuance of the policy unless you sign a form acknowledging that fact.

The 7-pay limit at any time during the first seven contract years is the total of net level premiums that would have been payable at or before that time under a comparable fixed policy that would be fully “paid-up” after the payment of seven equal annual premiums. “Paid-up” means that no further premiums would be required to continue the coverage in force until maturity, based on certain prescribed assumptions. If the total premiums paid at any time during the first seven policy years exceed the 7-pay limit, the policy will be treated as a modified endowment contract, which can have adverse tax consequences.

Policies classified as modified endowment contracts are subject to the following tax rules:

• First, all partial withdrawals from such a policy are treated as ordinary income subject to tax up to the amount equal to the excess (if any) of the policy value immediately before the withdrawal over the investment in the policy at such time. If you own any other modified endowment contracts issued to you in the same calendar year by the same insurance company or its affiliates, their values will be combined with the value of the policy from which you take the withdrawal for purposes of determining how much of the withdrawal is taxable as ordinary income.

• Second, loans taken from or secured by such a policy and assignments or pledges of any part of its value are treated as partial withdrawals from the policy and taxed accordingly. Past-due loan interest that is added to the loan amount is treated as an additional loan.

• Third, a 10% additional penalty tax is imposed on the portion of any distribution (including distributions on surrender) from, or loan taken from or secured by, such a policy that is included in income except where the distribution or loan:

• is made on or after the date on which the policy owner attains age 59½;

• is attributable to the policy owner becoming disabled; or

• is part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments for the life (or life expectancy) of the policy owner or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the policy owner and the policy owner’s beneficiary.

These exceptions to the 10% additional tax do not apply in situations where the policy is not owned by an individual.

Furthermore, any time there is a “material change” in a policy, the policy will begin a new 7-pay testing period as if it were a newly-issued policy. The material change rules for determining whether a policy is a modified endowment contract are complex. In general, however, the determination of whether a policy will be a modified endowment contract after a material change depends upon the relationship among the death benefit of the policy at the time of such change, the policy value at the time of the change, and the additional premiums paid into the policy during the seven years starting with the date on which the material change occurs.

40Table Of Contents

Moreover, if there is a reduction in benefits under a policy (such as a reduction in the death benefit or the reduction or cancellation of certain rider benefits) during a 7-pay testing period, the 7-pay limit will generally be recalculated based on the reduced benefits and the policy will be re-tested from the beginning of the 7-pay testing period using the lower limit. If the premiums paid to date at any point during the 7-pay testing period are greater than the recalculated 7-pay limit, the policy will become a modified endowment contract.

If your policy is issued as a result of an exchange subject to section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code, it may be considered to be a modified endowment contract if the death benefit under the new policy is smaller than the death benefit under the exchanged policy, or if you reduce coverage in your new policy after it is issued. Therefore, if you desire to reduce the face amount as part of a 1035 exchange, a qualified tax adviser should be consulted for advice. A new policy issued in exchange for a modified endowment contract will also be a modified endowment contract regardless of any change in the death benefit.

All modified endowment contracts issued by the same insurer (or its affiliates) to the same owner during any calendar year generally are required to be treated as one contract for the purpose of applying the rules on taxation of withdrawals from modified endowment contracts. You should consult your tax adviser if you have questions regarding the possible impact of the 7-pay limit on your policy.

Corporate and H.R. 10 retirement plans

The policy may be acquired in connection with the funding of retirement plans satisfying the qualification requirements of section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code. If so, the Internal Revenue Code provisions relating to such plans and life insurance benefits thereunder should be carefully scrutinized. We are not responsible for compliance with the terms of any such plan or with the requirements of applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

Withholding

To the extent that policy distributions to you are taxable, they are generally subject to withholding for your Federal income tax liability. However if you reside in the United States, you can generally choose not to have tax withheld from distributions.

Life insurance purchases by residents of Puerto Rico

In Rev. Rul. 2004-75, 2004-31 I.R.B. 109, the Internal Revenue Service ruled that income received by residents of Puerto Rico under a life insurance policy issued by a United States company is U.S.-source income that is subject to United States Federal income tax.

Life insurance purchases by non-resident aliens

If you are not a U.S. citizen or resident, you will generally be subject to U.S. Federal withholding tax on taxable distributions from life insurance policies at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In addition, you may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and taxes imposed by your country of citizenship or residence. You should consult with a qualified tax adviser before purchasing a policy.

Financial Statements of Registrant and Depositor

Description of the Depositor

Under the Federal securities laws, the entity responsible for organization of the registered separate account underlying the variable life insurance policy is known as the “Depositor.” The Depositor is John Hancock USA, a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of Maine on August 20, 1955 by a special act of the Maine legislature and redomesticated under the laws of Michigan. We are a licensed life insurance company in the District of Columbia and all states of the United States except New York. Until 2004, John Hancock USA had been known as The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.).

Our ultimate parent is Manulife Financial Corporation (“MFC”), a publicly traded company based in Toronto, Canada. MFC is the holding company of The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries, collectively known as Manulife Financial.

Description of the Registrant

Under the Federal securities laws, the registered separate account underlying the variable life insurance policy is known as the “Registrant.” In this case, the Registrant is John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) Separate Account N (the “Account”), a separate account established by John Hancock USA under Michigan law. The variable investment options shown on page 1 of the prospectus are subaccounts of the Account. The Account meets the definition of “separate account” under the Federal securities laws and is registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”). Such registration does not involve supervision by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) of the management of the Account or of John Hancock USA.

New subaccounts may be added and made available to policy owners from time to time. Existing subaccounts may be modified or deleted at any time.

Separate Account N at December 31, 2010, and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2010, appearing in this Statement of Additional Information of the Registration Statement have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, as set forth in their reports thereon appearing elsewhere herein, and are included in reliance upon such reports given on the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

Legal and Regulatory Matters

There are no legal proceedings to which the Depositor, the Account or the principal underwriter is a party or to which the assets of the Account are subject that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Account or the ability of the principal underwriter to perform its contract with the Account or of the Depositor to meet its obligations under the policies.

On June 25, 2007, John Hancock Investment Management Services, LLC (the “Adviser”) and John Hancock Distributors LLC (the “Distributor”) and two of their affiliates (collectively, the “John Hancock Affiliates”) reached a settlement with the SEC that resolved an investigation of certain practices relating to the John Hancock Affiliates’ variable annuity and mutual fund operations involving directed brokerage and revenue sharing. Under the terms of the settlement, each John Hancock Affiliate was censured and agreed to pay a $500,000 civil penalty to the United States Treasury. In addition, the Adviser and the Distributor agreed to pay disgorgement of $14,838,943 and prejudgment interest of $2,001,999 to the John Hancock Trust funds that participated in the Adviser’s commission recapture program during the period from

2

2000 to April 2004. Collectively, all John Hancock Affiliates agreed to pay a total disgorgement of $16,926,420 and prejudgment interest of $2,361,460 to the entities advised or distributed by John Hancock Affiliates. The Adviser discontinued the use of directed brokerage in recognition of the sale of fund shares in April 2004.

Principal Underwriter/Distributor

John Hancock Distributors LLC (“JH Distributors”), a Delaware limited liability company affiliated with us, is the principal distributor and underwriter of the securities offered through this prospectus. JH Distributors acts as the principal distributor of a number of other annuity and life insurance products we and our affiliates offer. JH Distributors also acts as the principal underwriter of John Hancock Trust (the “Trust”), whose securities are used to fund certain variable investment options under the policies and under other annuity and life insurance products we offer.

JH Distributors’ principal address is 200 Bloor Street East, Toronto, Canada M4W 1E5 and it also maintains offices with us at 197 Clarendon Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02116. JH Distributors is a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”) and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).

We offer the policies for sale through individuals who are licensed as insurance agents and who are registered representatives of broker-dealers that have entered into selling agreements with JH Distributors. Our affiliate Signator Investors, Inc. is one such broker-dealer.

The aggregate dollar amount of underwriting commissions paid to JH Distributors by the Depositor and its affiliates in connection with the sale of variable life products in 2010, 2009, and 2008 was $145,301,936, $152,873,991 and $224,191,519 respectively. JH Distributors did not retain any of these amounts during such periods.

The compensation JH Distributors pays to broker-dealers may vary depending on the selling agreement. Compensation is exclusive of additional compensation and revenue sharing and inclusive of overrides and expense allowances paid to broker-dealers for sale of the policies (not including riders). The compensation paid is not expected to exceed 35% of target premium, and 6% of premium in excess of target, paid in the first policy year, 6% of target and excess premium paid in years 2-5, and 4.75% of target and excess premium paid in years 6-10.

The registered representative through whom your policy is sold will be compensated pursuant to the registered representative’s own arrangement with his or her broker-dealer. Compensation to broker-dealers for the promotion and sale of the policies is not paid directly by policy owners but will be recouped through the fees and charges imposed under the policy.

Additional compensation and revenue sharing arrangements may be offered to certain broker-dealer firms and other financial intermediaries. The terms of such arrangements may differ among firms we select based on various factors. In general, the arrangements involve three types of payments or any combination thereof:

• Fixed dollar payments: The amount of these payments varies widely. JH Distributors may, for example, make one or more payments in connection with a firm’s conferences, seminars or training programs, seminars for the public, advertising and sales campaigns regarding the policies, to assist a firm in connection with its systems, operations and marketing expenses, or for other activities of a selling firm or wholesaler. JH Distributors may make these payments upon the initiation of a relationship with a firm, and at any time thereafter.

• Payments based upon sales: These payments are based upon a percentage of the total amount of money received, or anticipated to be received, for sales through a firm of some or all of the insurance products that we and/or our affiliates offer. JH Distributors makes these payments on a periodic basis.

• Payments based upon “assets under management”: These payments are based upon a percentage of the policy value of some or all of our (and/or our affiliates’) insurance products that were sold through the firm. JH Distributors makes these payments on a periodic basis.

Our affiliated broker-dealer, Signator Investors, Inc., may pay its respective registered representatives additional cash incentives, such as bonus payments, expense payments, health and retirement benefits or the waiver of overhead costs or expenses in connection with the sale of the policies that they would not receive in connection with the sale of policies issued by unaffiliated companies.

Additional Information About Charges

A policy will not be issued until the underwriting process has been completed to the Depositor’s satisfaction. The underwriting process generally includes the obtaining of information concerning your age, medical history, occupation and other personal information. This information is then used to determine the cost of insurance charge.

Reduction In Charges

The policy is available for purchase by corporations and other groups or sponsoring organizations. Group or sponsored arrangements may include reduction or elimination of withdrawal charges and deductions for employees, officers, directors, agents and immediate family members of the foregoing. John Hancock USA reserves the right to reduce any of the Policy’s charges on certain cases where it is expected that the amount or nature of such cases will result in savings of sales, underwriting, administrative, commissions or other costs. Eligibility for these reductions and the amount of reductions will be determined by a number of factors, including the number of lives to be insured, the total premiums expected to be paid, total assets under management for the policyowner, the nature of the relationship among the insured individuals, the purpose for which the policies are being purchased, expected persistency of the individual policies, and any other circumstances which John Hancock USA believes to be relevant to the expected reduction of its expenses. Some of these reductions may be guaranteed and others may be subject to withdrawal or modifications, on a uniform case basis. Reductions in charges will not be unfairly discriminatory to any policyowners. John Hancock USA may modify from time to time, on a uniform basis, both the amounts of reductions and the criteria for qualification.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) (the Company) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholder’s equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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 are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s 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 Company’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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) at December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, in 2010 the Company changed their method of accounting and reporting for variable interest entities, in 2009 the Company changed their method of accounting and reporting for other-than-temporary impairments on debt securities, and in 2008 the Company changed their method of accounting and reporting for certain assets to a fair value measurement approach.

JOHN HANCOCK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY (U.S.A.)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business. John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) (“JHUSA” or the “Company”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Manufacturers Investment Corporation (“MIC”). MIC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of John Hancock Holdings (Delaware) LLC (“JHHLLC”), which is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company (“MLI”). MLI, in turn, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Manulife Financial Corporation (“MFC”), a Canadian-based, publicly traded financial services holding company.

The Company provides a wide range of insurance and investment products to both individual and institutional customers located primarily in the United States. These products, including individual life insurance, individual and group fixed and variable annuities, individual and group long-term care insurance, and mutual funds, are sold through an extensive network of agents, securities dealers, and other financial institutions. The Company also offers investment management services with respect to the Company’s separate account assets and to mutual funds and institutional customers. The Company is licensed in 49 states.

On December 31, 2009, John Hancock Life Insurance Company (“JHLICO”), which was a wholly-owned subsidiary of John Hancock Financial Services, Inc. (“JHFS”), and John Hancock Variable Life Insurance Company (“JHVLICO”), which was a wholly-owned subsidiary of JHLICO, merged with and into JHUSA. As a result of the merger, JHLICO and JHVLICO ceased to exist, and the companies’ property and obligations became the property and obligations of JHUSA.

On December 31, 2009, JHFS, which was a wholly-owned subsidiary of JHHLLC, merged with and into MIC. As a result of the merger, JHFS ceased to exist, and the company’s property and obligations became the property and obligations of MIC.

On December 31, 2009, Manulife Holdings (Delaware) LLC (“MHDLLC”), which was the parent company of MIC, merged with and into JHHLLC. As a result of the merger, MHDLLC ceased to exist, and the company’s property and obligations became the property and obligations of JHHLLC.

Basis of Presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company give effect to the merger of JHUSA with JHLICO and JHVLICO, which was reflected in JHUSA’s audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, as a merger of entities under common control.

These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Partnerships, joint venture interests, and other equity investments in which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest, but has significant influence, are recorded using the equity method of accounting and are included in other invested assets. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. For further discussion regarding VIEs, see Note 3 – Relationships with Variable Interest Entities.

Reclassifications. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Investments. The Company classifies its fixed maturity securities, other than leveraged leases, as either available-for-sale or held-for-trading and records these securities at fair value. Unrealized investment gains and losses related to available-for-sale securities are reflected in shareholder’s equity, net of policyholder related amounts and deferred income taxes. Unrealized investment gains and losses related to held-for-trading securities are reflected in net realized investment and other gains (losses). Interest income is generally recognized on the accrual basis. The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for other-than-temporary impairments, amortization of premiums, and accretion of discounts to maturity. Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are included in net investment income. The Company recognizes an impairment loss only when management does not expect to recover the amortized cost of the security.

The Company classifies its leveraged leases as fixed maturity securities and calculates their carrying value by accruing income at their expected internal rate of return.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (continued)

For mortgage-backed securities, the Company recognizes income using a constant effective yield based on anticipated prepayments and the estimated economic life of the securities. When actual prepayments differ significantly from anticipated prepayments, the effective yield is recalculated to reflect actual payments to date plus anticipated future payments, and any resulting adjustment is included in net investment income.

Equity securities primarily include common stock. Equity securities that have readily determinable fair values are carried at fair value. For equity securities that the Company classifies as available-for-sale, unrealized investment gains and losses are reflected in shareholder’s equity, as described above for available-for-sale fixed maturity securities. Equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values are carried at cost and are included in other invested assets. The cost of equity securities is written down to fair value when a decline in value is considered to be other-than-temporary. The Company considers its intent and ability to hold a particular equity security for a period of time sufficient to allow for the recovery of its value. Dividends are recorded as income on the ex-dividend date.

Mortgage loans on real estate are carried at unpaid principal balances and are adjusted for amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts, less an allowance for probable losses. Premiums or discounts are amortized over the life of the mortgage loan contract in a manner that results in a constant effective yield. Interest income and amortization amounts and other costs that are recognized as an adjustment of yield are included as components of net investment income. When contractual payments of mortgage investments are more than 90 days in arrears, interest is no longer accrued. Mortgage loans on real estate are evaluated periodically as part of the Company’s loan review procedures and are considered impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts of principal and interest due according to the contractual terms of the mortgage loan agreement. The valuation allowance established as a result of impairment is based on the present value of the expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate, or is based on the collateral value of the loan if higher and the loan is collateral dependent. The Company estimates this level to be adequate to absorb estimated probable credit losses that exist at the balance sheet date. Any change to the valuation allowance for mortgage loans on real estate is reported as a component of net realized investment and other gains (losses). Interest received on impaired mortgage loans on real estate is applied to reduce the outstanding investment balance. If foreclosure becomes probable, the measurement method used is based on the collateral’s fair value. Foreclosed real estate is recorded at the collateral’s fair value at the date of foreclosure, which establishes a new cost basis.

Investment real estate, agriculture, and timber, which the Company has the intent to hold for the production of income, is carried at depreciated cost, using the straight-line method of depreciation, less adjustments for impairments in value. In those cases where it is determined that the carrying amount of investment real estate, agriculture, and timber is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized based on the difference between the depreciated cost and fair value of the asset. The Company reports impairment losses as part of net realized investment and other gains (losses).

Policy loans are carried at unpaid principal balances.

Short-term investments, which include investments with remaining maturities of one year or less, but greater than three months, at the time of purchase, are reported at fair value.

Net realized investment and other gains (losses), other than those related to separate accounts for which the Company does not bear the investment risk, are determined on a specific identification method and are reported net of amounts credited to participating contract holder accounts.

Derivative Financial Instruments. The Company uses derivative financial instruments (“derivatives”) to manage exposures to foreign currency, interest rate, and other market risks arising from on-balance sheet financial instruments and selected anticipated transactions. Derivatives embedded in other financial instruments (“host instruments”), such as investment securities, reinsurance contracts, and certain benefit guarantees, are separately recorded as derivatives when their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host instrument, the terms of the embedded derivative are the same as those of a stand-alone derivative, and the host instrument is not held-for-trading or carried at fair value. Derivatives are recorded at fair value. Derivatives with unrealized gains are reported as derivative assets and derivatives with unrealized losses are reported as derivative liabilities.

Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (continued)

A determination is made for each relationship as to whether hedge accounting can be applied. Where hedge accounting is not applied, changes in fair value of derivatives are recorded in net realized investment and other gains (losses).

Where the Company has elected to use hedge accounting, a hedge relationship is designated and documented at inception. Hedge effectiveness is evaluated at inception and throughout the term of the hedge, and hedge accounting is only applied when the Company expects that each hedging instrument will be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or changes in cash flows attributable to the risk being hedged. Hedge effectiveness is assessed quarterly using a variety of techniques, including regression analysis and cumulative dollar offset. When it is determined that the hedging relationship is no longer effective or the hedged item has been sold or terminated, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively. In such cases, if the derivative hedging instruments are not sold or terminated, any subsequent changes in fair value of the derivative are recognized in net realized investment and other gains (losses).

In a fair value hedging relationship, changes in the fair value of the hedging derivatives are recorded in net realized investment and other gains (losses), along with changes in fair value attributable to the hedged risk. The carrying value of the hedged item is adjusted for changes in fair value attributable to the hedged risk. To the extent the changes in the fair value of derivatives do not offset the changes in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk in net realized investment and other gains (losses), any ineffectiveness will remain in net realized investment and other gains (losses). When hedge accounting is discontinued, the carrying value of the hedged item is no longer adjusted and the cumulative fair value adjustments are amortized to investment income over the remaining term of the hedged item unless the hedged item is sold, at which time the balance is recognized immediately in net investment income.

In a cash flow hedge relationship, the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, while the ineffective portion is recognized in net realized investment and other gains (losses). Gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income are recognized in income during the same periods as the variability in the cash flows hedged or the hedged forecasted transactions are recognized.

Gains and losses on cash flow hedges recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income are reclassified immediately to income when the hedged item is sold or forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur. When a hedge is discontinued, but the hedged forecasted transaction remains highly probable to occur, the amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income are reclassified to income in the periods during which variability in the cash flows hedged or the hedged forecasted transaction is recognized in income.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash and all highly liquid debt investments with a remaining maturity of three months or less when purchased.

Goodwill, Value of Business Acquired, and Other Intangible Assets. On April 28, 2004 (the “acquisition date”), MFC acquired JHFS and its subsidiaries, which was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The allocation of purchase consideration resulted in the recognition of goodwill, value of business acquired (“VOBA”), and other intangible assets as of the acquisition date.

Goodwill recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets represents primarily the excess of the cost over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired by MFC.

VOBA is the present value of estimated future profits of insurance policies in-force related to businesses acquired by MFC. The Company amortizes VOBA using the same methodology and assumptions used to amortize deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”) and tests for recoverability at least annually.

Other intangible assets include brand name, investment management contracts (fair value of the investment management relationships between the Company and the mutual funds managed by the Company), distribution networks, and other investment management contracts (institutional investment management contracts managed by the Company’s investment management subsidiaries) recognized at the acquisition date. Brand name and investment management contracts are not subject to amortization. Distribution networks and other investment management contracts are amortized over their respective estimated lives in other operating costs and expenses.

Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (continued)

The Company tests goodwill and intangible assets not subject to amortization for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. Amortizing intangible assets are reviewed for impairment only upon the occurrence of certain triggering events. An impairment is recorded whenever an intangible asset’s fair value is deemed to be less than its carrying value. For discussion regarding a goodwill impairment the Company recorded during 2010, see Note 15 — Goodwill, Value of Business Acquired, and Other Intangible Assets.

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs and Deferred Sales Inducements. DAC are costs that vary with, and are related primarily to, the production of new business and have been deferred to the extent that they are deemed recoverable. Such costs include sales commissions, certain policy issuance and underwriting costs, and certain agency expenses. Similarly, any amounts assessed as initiation fees or front-end loads are recorded as unearned revenue. The Company tests the recoverability of DAC at least annually.

DAC related to participating traditional life insurance is amortized over the life of the policies at a constant rate based on the present value of the estimated gross margin amounts expected to be realized over the lives of the policies. Estimated gross margin amounts include anticipated premiums and investment results less claims and administrative expenses, changes in the net level premium reserve, and expected annual policyholder dividends. For annuity, universal life insurance, and investment-type products, DAC and unearned revenue are amortized generally in proportion to the change in present value of expected gross profits arising principally from surrender charges, investment results, including realized gains (losses), and mortality and expense margins. DAC amortization is adjusted retrospectively when estimates are revised. For annuity, universal life insurance, and investment-type products, the DAC asset is adjusted for the impact of unrealized gains (losses) on investments as if these gains (losses) had been realized, with corresponding credits or charges included in accumulated other comprehensive income.

DAC and unearned revenue related to non-participating traditional life insurance and DAC related to long-term care insurance are amortized over the premium-paying period of the related policies using assumptions consistent with those used in computing policy benefit reserves.

The Company offers sales inducements, including enhanced crediting rates or bonus payments, to contract holders on certain of its individual and group annuity products. The Company defers sales inducements and amortizes them over the life of the underlying contracts using the same methodology and assumptions used to amortize DAC.

Reinsurance. Assets and liabilities related to reinsurance ceded contracts are reported on a gross basis. The accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations reflect premiums, benefits, and settlement expenses net of reinsurance ceded. Reinsurance premiums, commissions, expense reimbursements, benefits, and reserves related to reinsured business are accounted for on a basis consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. The Company remains liable to its contract holders to the extent that counterparties to reinsurance ceded contracts do not meet their contractual obligations.

Separate Account Assets and Liabilities. Separate account assets and liabilities reported on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets represent funds that are administered and invested by the Company to meet specific investment objectives of contract holders. Net investment income and net realized investment and other gains (losses) generally accrue directly to such contract holders who bear the investment risk, subject, in some cases, to principal guarantees and minimum guaranteed rates of income. The assets of each separate account are legally segregated and are not subject to claims that arise out of any other business of the Company. Separate account assets are reported at fair value, and separate account liabilities are set equal to the fair value of the separate account assets. Deposits, surrenders, net investment income, net realized investment and other gains (losses), and the related liability changes of separate accounts are offset within the same line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Fees charged to contract holders, principally mortality, policy administration, investment management, and surrender charges, are included in the revenues of the Company.

Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (continued)

Future Policy Benefits and Policyholders’ Funds. Future policy benefits for participating traditional life insurance policies are based on the net level premium method. The net level premium reserve is calculated using the guaranteed mortality and dividend fund interest rates. The liability for annual dividends represents the accrual of annual dividends earned. Settlement dividends are accrued in proportion to gross margins over the life of the policies. Participating business represented 35% and 38% of the Company’s traditional life net insurance in-force at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and 77%, 81%, and 85% of the Company’s traditional life net insurance premiums for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

Benefit liabilities for annuities during the accumulation period are equal to accumulated contract holders’ fund balances and after annuitization are equal to the present value of expected future payments.

For payout annuities in loss recognition, future policy benefits are computed using estimates of expected mortality, expenses, and investment yields as determined at the time these contracts first moved into loss recognition. Payout annuity reserves are adjusted for the impact of net realized investment and other gains (losses) associated with the underlying assets.

Future policy benefits for long-term care insurance policies are based on the net level premium method. Assumptions established at policy issue as to mortality, morbidity, persistency, and interest and expenses, which include a margin for adverse deviation, are based on estimates developed by management.

For non-participating traditional life insurance policies, future policy benefits are estimated using a net level premium method based upon actuarial assumptions as to mortality, persistency, interest, and expenses established at the policy issue or acquisition date. Assumptions established at policy issue as to mortality and persistency are based on the Company’s experience, which, together with interest and expense assumptions, include a margin for adverse deviation.

Policyholders’ funds are generally equal to the total of the policyholder account values before surrender charges, additional reserves established to adjust for lower market interest rates as of the acquisition date, and additional reserves established on certain guarantees offered in certain investment-type products. Policyholder account values include deposits plus credited interest or change in investment value less expense and mortality fees, as applicable, and withdrawals. Policy benefits are charged to expense and include benefit claims incurred in the period in excess of related policy account balances and interest credited to policyholders’ account balances.

Components of policyholders’ funds were as follows:

	December 31,
	2010		2009
	(in millions)
Participating pension contracts	$	1,799	$	1,976
Funding agreements		1,010		1,753
Guaranteed investment contracts		823		948
Total liabilities for investment-type products		3,632		4,677
Individual and group annuities		2,225		2,124
Certain traditional life insurance policies and other		2,451		2,324
Total policyholders’ funds	$	8,308	$	9,125

Funding agreements are purchased from the Company by special purpose entities (“SPEs”), which in turn issue medium-term notes to global investors that are non-recourse to the Company. The SPEs are not consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Liabilities for unpaid claims and claim expenses include estimates of payments to be made on reported individual and group life, long-term care, and group accident and health insurance claims and estimates of incurred but not reported claims based on historical claims development patterns.

Estimates of future policy benefit reserves, claim reserves, and expenses are reviewed on a regular basis and adjusted as necessary. Any changes in estimates are reflected in current earnings.

Policyholder Dividends. Policyholder dividends for the closed blocks are approved annually by the Company’s Board of Directors. The aggregate amount of policyholder dividends is calculated based upon actual interest, mortality, morbidity, persistency, and expense experience for the year as appropriate, as well as management’s judgment as to the proper level of statutory surplus to be retained by the Company. For policies included in the JHUSA closed block, expense experience is included in determining policyholder dividends. Expense experience is not included for policies included in the JHLICO closed block. For additional information on the closed blocks, see Note 6 — Closed Blocks.

Revenue Recognition. Premiums from participating and non-participating traditional life insurance, annuity policies with life contingencies, and reinsurance contracts are recognized as revenue when due. When premiums are due over a significantly shorter period than the period over which benefits are provided, any excess profit is deferred and recognized into income in a constant relationship to insurance in-force or, for annuities, the amount of expected future benefit payments.

Premiums from long-term care insurance contracts are recognized as income when due.

Deposits related to universal life and investment-type products are credited to policyholders’ account balances. Revenues from these contracts, as well as annuity contracts, consist of amounts assessed against policyholders’ account balances for mortality, policy administration, and surrender charges and are recorded in fee income in the period in which the services are provided.

Fee income also includes advisory fees, broker-dealer commissions and fees, and administration service fees. Such fees and commissions are recognized in the period in which the services are performed. Commissions related to security transactions and related expenses are recognized as income on the trade date. Contingent deferred selling charge commissions are recognized as income when received. Selling commissions paid to the selling broker-dealer for sales of mutual funds that do not have a front-end sales charge are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from one to six years. This is the approximate period of time expected to be benefited and during which fees earned pursuant to Rule 12b-1 distribution plans are received from the funds and contingent deferred sales charges are received from shareholders of the funds.

Share-Based Payments. The Company provides compensation to certain employees and directors in the form of stock options, deferred share units, restricted share units, and performance share units in MFC. The Company recognizes the costs resulting from share-based payment transactions with employees in its consolidated financial statements utilizing a fair value-based measurement method.

Share-based compensation costs are recognized over the applicable vesting period, except where the employee is eligible to retire prior to a vesting date, in which case the cost is recognized over the period between the grant date and the date on which the employee is eligible to retire. The share-based payments are a legal obligation of MFC, but in accordance with U.S. GAAP, are recorded in the accounts of the Company in other operating costs and expenses.

The Company reports the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost as a financing cash flow item.

Income Taxes. The provision for federal income taxes includes amounts currently payable or recoverable and deferred income taxes, computed under the liability method, resulting from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that an amount will not be realized. Foreign subsidiaries and U.S. subsidiaries operating outside of the United States are taxed under applicable foreign statutory rates.

Foreign Currency. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates during the year. The resulting net translation adjustments for each year are included in accumulated other comprehensive income. Gains or losses on foreign currency transactions are reflected in earnings.

Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Financing Receivables

Effective December 31, 2010, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-20, “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses,” which amends FASB Accounting Standards Codification ™ (“ASC”) Topic 310, “Receivables.” ASU No. 2010-20 requires enhanced disclosures related to the allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of financing receivables, such as aging information and credit quality indicators. Most of the requirements are effective for the Company on December 31, 2010 with certain additional disclosures effective on December 31, 2011. Adoption of this guidance resulted in expanded disclosures related to the Company’s financing receivables, but had no impact on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets or Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Effective July 1, 2010, the Company adopted ASU No. 2010-11, “Derivatives and Hedging- Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives,” which amends ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). ASU No. 2010-11 clarifies the scope exception for embedded credit derivative features related to the transfer of credit risk created by the subordination of one financial instrument to another. The amendments address how to determine which embedded credit derivative features, including those in collateralized debt obligations and synthetic collateralized debt obligations, are considered to be embedded derivatives that should not be analyzed for potential bifurcation and separate accounting at fair value. Adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets or Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” which is now incorporated into ASC 815. This guidance provides extensively expanded disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities and applies to all derivative instruments, including bifurcated derivative instruments and related hedged items. Adoption of this guidance resulted in expanded disclosures related to derivative instruments and hedging activities, but had no impact on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets or Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Consolidated Financial Statements

Effective January 1, 2010, the Company adopted ASU No. 2009-17, “Consolidation – Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities,” which amends ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation” (“ASC 810”).

The amendments revise the accounting principles for assessing consolidation of a VIE and include the following features:

• A new concept of control - now defined as an entity’s ability to make decisions that are most economically significant to the VIE coupled with economic exposure to the VIE’s variability. This definition replaces the previous concept of “exposure to the majority of the VIE’s variability” in determining when to consolidate another entity.

• New guidance for determining which party, among parties with shared decision making powers over a VIE, makes the most significant decisions for the VIE.

• A bright line test for removal rights over an entity’s decision maker by its equity owners, whereby removal rights are disregarded as an element of control unless they can be exercised successfully by a single party.

• Expanded guidance on whether fees charged to a VIE by its decision maker are variable interests, leading to consolidation by the decision maker.

• Removal of the previous scope exception for qualifying special purpose entities.

ASC 810 retains a scope exception for consolidation by investment companies of their investments.

Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (continued)

The Company also adopted ASU No. 2010-10, “Consolidation – Amendments for Certain Investment Funds,” which amends ASC 810. This guidance was effective January 1, 2010 and deferred application of the amendments described above to certain entities that apply specialized accounting guidance for investment companies.

Adoption of ASC 810 resulted in consolidation of certain collateralized debt obligations sponsored by the Company. The impact on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at January 1, 2010 was an increase in assets of $518 million, an increase in liabilities of $475 million, an increase in noncontrolling interests of $45 million, and a decrease in retained earnings of $2 million, net of tax.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51,” which is now incorporated into ASC 810. ASC 810 establishes accounting guidance for noncontrolling interests in a subsidiary and for deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries are included as a separate component of shareholder’s equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, net income attributable to both the Company’s interest and the noncontrolling interests is presented separately on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, and any changes in the Company’s ownership of a subsidiary, which do not result in deconsolidation, would be accounted for as transactions in the Company’s own stock. Deconsolidation typically results in the recognition of a gain or loss, with any retained noncontrolling interest measured initially at fair value. This accounting guidance was applied prospectively, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which were applied retrospectively. Adoption of this guidance had no measurement impact on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets or Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Effective December 31, 2008, the Company adopted FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8, “Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities,” which is now incorporated into ASC 810. This guidance requires enhanced disclosures about transfers of financial assets and interests in VIEs. While the Company is not involved in securitizing financial assets, it does have significant relationships with VIEs. Adoption of this guidance resulted in expanded disclosures related to VIEs, but had no impact on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets or Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Transfers of Financial Assets

Effective January 1, 2010, the Company adopted ASU No. 2009-16, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets,” which amends ASC Topic 860, “Transfers and Servicing” (“ASC 860”). ASC 860 focuses on securitization activity, and these amendments affect the transferor’s derecognition principles for assets transferred. Amendments to ASC 860 eliminate the concept of qualifying special purpose entities, removing their previous exemption from consolidation accounting by transferors of financial assets to them. Further, ASC 860 does not permit derecognition accounting for transfers of portions of financial assets when the portions transferred do not meet the definition of a participating interest. ASC 860 strengthens the requirement that transferred assets be legally isolated from the transferor and all of its consolidated affiliates in order for the transfer to be accounted for as a sale. ASC 860 requires that retained interests in transferred assets be recognized at fair value instead of amounts based on relative fair value allocations of the previous carrying value of assets transferred.

These new requirements were applicable to transfers of financial assets occurring on or after January 1, 2010. Adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets or Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Fair Value Measurements

Effective January 1, 2010, the Company adopted ASU No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” which amends ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”). This guidance requires new disclosures about significant transfers between Level 1 and 2 measurement categories and clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The guidance also requires separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements, which will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2011. Adoption of this guidance resulted in expanded disclosures related to fair value measurements, but had no impact on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets or Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Effective December 31, 2009, the Company adopted ASU No. 2009-12, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Investment in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset per Share (or Its Equivalent).” This amendment to ASC 820 allows entities to use the net asset value of certain investments when determining fair value, provided certain criteria are met. Adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets or Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Effective December 31, 2009, the Company adopted ASU No. 2009-05, “Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value.” This amendment to ASC 820 simplifies, in certain instances, the assessment of fair value of a liability. This amendment, when applicable, allows the use of the fair value of the instrument associated with the liability when it is traded as an asset as a proxy for its fair value as a liability, given inherent difficulties in measuring the fair value of such liabilities directly. The fair value of the liability is not adjusted to reflect any restrictions on its transfer. Adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets or Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted FSP No. FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly,” which is now incorporated into ASC 820. This accounting guidance carries forward and elaborates on previous fair value concepts. The fair value of an asset or liability continues to be the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under then current market conditions. ASC 820 provides indicators of when a transaction is considered disorderly and elaborates on how to determine the fair value of a financial instrument if such conditions exist. Adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets or Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active,” which is now incorporated into ASC 820. This pronouncement provided additional guidance on determining fair values of illiquid securities. This guidance was immediately effective, retroactive to prior reporting periods for which financial statements had not yet been issued. Adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets or Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FSP No. FAS 157-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13,” which is now incorporated into ASC 820. This guidance provides a scope exception for applying Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”),” fair value methodologies to the evaluation criteria on lease classification or measurement. Adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets or Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, which is now incorporated into ASC 820. This guidance provides a single definition of fair value for accounting purposes, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements.

ASC 820 requires, among other things, an exit value approach for valuing assets and liabilities, using the best available information about what a market would bear. The exit value approach focuses on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Exit values for liabilities should include margins for risk even if they are not observable. ASC 820 provides guidance on how to measure fair value when required under existing accounting standards. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the observability of the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, sorted into three levels (“Level 1, 2, and 3”) with the most observable input level being Level 1. The impact of changing valuation methods to comply with ASC 820 resulted in adjustments to actuarial liabilities, which were recorded as an increase in net income of $60 million, net of tax, on January 1, 2008.

Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans

Effective December 31, 2009, the Company adopted FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1, “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets,” which is now incorporated into ASC Topic 715, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits” (“ASC 715”). This guidance requires enhanced disclosures of the assets of the Company’s pension and other postretirement benefit plans in

the Company’s consolidated financial statements. ASC 715 requires a narrative description of investment policies and strategies for plan assets and discussion of long-term rate of return assumptions for plan assets. ASC 715 requires application of ASC 820 style disclosures to fair values of plan assets, including disclosure of fair values of plan assets sorted by asset category and valuation Levels 1, 2, and 3, with roll forward of Level 3 plan assets and discussion of valuation processes used. Adoption of this guidance resulted in expanded disclosures related to the Company’s pension and postretirement benefit plans, but had no impact on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets or Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 06-10, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements,” which is now incorporated into ASC 715. This guidance requires employers to recognize a liability for the postretirement benefit related to collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance arrangements. ASC 715 also requires employers to recognize and measure an asset based on the nature and substance of the collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance arrangement. The impact of adoption of this guidance was recorded directly to the beginning balance of 2008 retained earnings and reported as a change in accounting principle. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets or Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted EITF Issue No. 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements,” which is now incorporated into ASC 715. This guidance requires employers that enter into endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements that provide an employee with a postretirement benefit to recognize a liability for the future benefits promised based on the substantive agreement made with the employer. Whether the accrual is based on a death benefit or on the future cost of maintaining the insurance depends on what the employer has effectively agreed to provide during the employee’s retirement. The purchase of an endorsement-type life insurance policy does not qualify as a settlement of the liability. The impact of adoption of this guidance was recorded directly to the beginning balance of 2008 retained earnings and reported as a change in accounting principle. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets or Consolidated Statements of Operations.

FASB Accounting Standards Codification

Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 162,” and ASU No. 2009-01, “Topic 105- Generally Accepted Accounting Principles amendments based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168 – The FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.”

ASC Topic 105 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ as the single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities and to supersede all previous U.S. GAAP literature. Adoption of the ASC had no impact on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets or Consolidated Statements of Operations, as it did not change U.S. GAAP principles.

Subsequent Events

Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, “Subsequent Events,” which is now incorporated into ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events.” This guidance was retroactively amended by the FASB in February 2010 by issuance of ASU No. 2010-09, “Subsequent Events,” which requires an entity which files or furnishes its financial statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to evaluate subsequent events through the date that its financial statements are issued. Adoption of this guidance resulted in expanded disclosures related to subsequent events, but had no impact on the Company’s Balance Sheets or Statements of Operations.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairments

Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted FSP No. FAS 115-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,” which is now incorporated into ASC Topic 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities” (“ASC 320”). This new guidance removes the concept of “intent and ability to hold until recovery of value” associated with other-than-temporary impairment of a debt security whose fair value is less than its cost. Impairment losses should be recorded in earnings on an available-for-sale debt security only when management does not expect to recover the amortized cost of the security. For additional information regarding the Company’s impairment process, see Note 2 – Investments.

The Company’s adoption of this guidance required reassessment of previous impairment losses recorded on debt securities held at March 31, 2009, with any reversals of previous impairment losses recorded through retained earnings and offset to accumulated other comprehensive income for available-for-sale debt securities and other actuarial related amounts included in other comprehensive income, and related impact on deferred policy acquisition costs, as of April 1, 2009.

As a result of adoption of ASC 320, the Company recognized an increase in retained earnings of $730 million, net of tax, on April 1, 2009, with a corresponding (decrease) increase in accumulated other comprehensive income of ($761) million, net of tax, attributable to (1) available-for-sale debt securities of ($898) million, (2) unearned revenue liability of ($5) million, (3) deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements of $96 million, (4) value of business acquired of $30 million, and (5) future policy benefits of $16 million. Other balance sheet items were impacted as follows: value of business acquired decreased by $36 million, deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements decreased by $11 million, deferred income tax liability decreased by $17 million, and future policy benefits increased by $1 million.

Investments

Effective December 31, 2008, the Company adopted FSP No. EITF 99-20-1, “Amendments to the Impairment Guidance EITF Issue No. 99-20,” which is now incorporated into ASC Topic 325, “Investments – Other” (“ASC 325”). This guidance helps conform the impairment guidance in EITF Issue No. 99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets,” which is also now incorporated into ASC 325, to the impairment guidance of ASC 320. This impairment guidance applies to debt securities backed by securitized financial assets (“ABS”), which are of less than high credit quality and can be contractually prepaid in a way that the investor could lose part of its investment. These securities are categorized as available-for-sale and most have fair values below their carrying values. ASC 325 allows the Company to consider its own expectations about probabilities that the ABS can and will be held until the fair values recover, while assessing whether the ABS is other-than-temporarily impaired. Adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets or Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Financial Instruments

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which is now incorporated into ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments” (“ASC 825”). The objective of this guidance is to enable companies to mitigate the earnings volatility caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently, without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. ASC 825 provides the option to use fair value accounting for most financial assets and financial liabilities, with changes in fair value reported in earnings. Selection of the fair value option is irrevocable and can be applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis.

The Company elected to adopt ASC 825 for certain bonds classified as available-for-sale that support certain actuarial liabilities to participating policyholders. The book and market value for these bonds prior to this election were $1,307 million and $1,314 million, respectively. The amount of net unrealized gains reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income on January 1, 2008 was $7 million. The actuarial liabilities in these products are recorded through earnings primarily based on fluctuations in the fair value of the underlying bonds. The bonds were classified as held-for-trading on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2008. The adoption of ASC 825 resulted in an adjustment to retained earnings of $7 million as of January 1, 2008.

Future Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs

In October 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-26, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts,” which amends ASC Topic 944, “Financial Services – Insurance” (“ASC 944”). ASU No. 2010-26 clarifies the costs that should be deferred when issuing and renewing insurance contracts and also specifies that only costs related directly to successful acquisition of new or renewal contracts can be capitalized. All other acquisition-related costs should be expensed as incurred. This guidance is to be applied prospectively upon the date of adoption, with retrospective application permitted, but not required. ASU No. 2010-26 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2012. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Consolidated Financial Statements

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-15, “How Investments Held through Separate Accounts Affect an Insurer’s Consolidation Analysis of Those Investments,” which amends ASC 944. Under ASU No. 2010-15, an insurance entity should not consider the interests held through separate accounts for the benefit of policyholders in the insurer’s evaluation of its economics in a VIE, unless the separate account contract holder is a related party. This guidance is to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods upon the date of adoption. ASU No. 2010-15 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2011. Adoption of this guidance will result in deconsolidation of $983 million of separate account assets, offset by deconsolidation of $983 million of separate account liabilities on January 1, 2011.

Fixed Maturities and Equity Securities Impairment Review

The Company has a process in place to identify securities that could potentially have an impairment that is other-than-temporary. This process involves monitoring market events that could impact issuers’ credit ratings, business climate, management changes, litigation and government actions, and other similar factors. This process also involves monitoring late payments, downgrades by rating agencies, key financial ratios, financial statements, revenue forecasts, and cash flow projections as indicators of credit issues.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

Note 2 — Investments - (continued)

At the end of each quarter, the MFC Loan Review Committee reviews all securities where market value is less than 80 percent of amortized cost for six months or more or if there is a significant unrealized loss at the balance sheet date to determine whether impairments need to be taken. The analysis focuses on each company’s or project’s ability to service its debts in a timely fashion and the length of time the security has been trading below amortized cost. The results of this analysis are reviewed by the Credit Committee at MFC. This committee includes MFC’s Chief Financial Officer, Chief Investment Officer, Chief Risk Officer, Chief Credit Officer, and other senior management. This quarterly process includes a fresh assessment of the credit quality of each investment in the entire fixed maturities portfolio.

The Company considers relevant facts and circumstances in evaluating whether the impairment of a security is other-than-temporary. Relevant facts and circumstances considered include (1) the length of time the fair value has been below cost; (2) the financial position of the issuer, including the current and future impact of any specific events; and (3) the Company’s ability and intent to hold the security to maturity or until it recovers in value. If the Company intends to sell, or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell an impaired security prior to recovery of its cost basis, the security is considered other-than-temporarily impaired, and the Company records a charge to earnings for the full amount of impairment (the difference between the current carrying amount and fair value of the security). For those securities in an unrealized loss position where the Company does not intend to sell or is not more likely than not to be required to sell, the Company determines its ability to recover the amortized cost of the security by comparing the net present value of the projected future cash flows to the amortized cost of the security. If the net present value of the cash flow is less than the security’s amortized cost, then the difference is recorded as a credit loss. The difference between the estimates of the credit loss and the overall unrealized loss on the security is the non-credit-related component. The credit loss portion is charged to net realized investment and other gains (losses) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, while the non-credit loss is charged to accumulated other comprehensive income on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The net present value used to determine the credit loss is calculated by discounting the Company’s best estimate of projected future cash flows at the effective interest rate implicit in the debt security prior to impairment. The Company may use the estimated fair value of collateral as a proxy for the net present value if it believes that the security is dependent on the liquidation of collateral for recovery of its investment. The projection of future cash flows is subject to the same analysis the Company applies to its overall impairment evaluation process, as noted above, which incorporates security specific information such as late payments, downgrades by rating agencies, key financial ratios, financial statements, and fundamentals of the industry and geographic area in which the issuer operates, as well as overall macroeconomic conditions.

The projections are estimated using assumptions regarding probability of default and estimates regarding timing and amount of recoveries associated with a default. For mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, cash flow estimates, including prepayment assumptions, are based on data from third-party data sources or internal estimates and are driven by assumptions regarding the underlying collateral, including default rates, recoveries, and changes in value.

There are a number of significant risks and uncertainties inherent in the process of monitoring impairments and determining if impairment is other-than-temporary. These risks and uncertainties include (1) the risk that the Company’s assessment of an issuer’s ability to meet all of its contractual obligations will change based on changes in the credit characteristics of that issuer; (2) the risk that the economic outlook will be worse than expected or have more of an impact on the issuer than anticipated; (3) the risk that fraudulent information could be provided to the Company’s investment professionals who determine the fair value estimates and other-than-temporary impairments; and (4) the risk that new information obtained by the Company or changes in other facts and circumstances lead it to change its intent to hold the security to maturity or until it recovers in value. Any of these situations could result in a charge to earnings in a future period.

The cost amounts for both fixed maturity securities and equity securities are net of other-than-temporary impairment charges.

Unrealized losses can be created by rising interest rates or by rising credit concerns and hence widening credit spreads. Credit concerns are apt to play a larger role in the unrealized loss on below investment grade securities. Unrealized losses on investment grade securities principally relate to changes in interest rates or changes in credit spreads since the securities were acquired. Credit rating agencies’ statistics indicate that investment grade securities have been found to be less likely to develop credit concerns. The gross unrealized loss on below investment grade available-for-sale fixed maturity securities decreased to $464 million at December 31, 2010 from $606 million at December 31, 2009.

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, there were 1,138 and 1,545 available-for-sale fixed maturity securities with an aggregate gross unrealized loss of $1,537 million and $1,868 million, respectively, of which the single largest unrealized loss was $198 million and $24 million, respectively. The Company anticipates that these fixed maturity securities will perform in accordance with their contractual terms and currently has the ability and intent to hold these securities until they recover or mature.

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, there were 88 and 141 equity securities with an aggregate gross unrealized loss of $5 million and $8 million, respectively, of which the single largest unrealized loss was $1 million and $2 million, respectively. The Company anticipates that these equity securities will recover in value in the near term.

Available-for-sale securities with amortized cost of $436 million were non-income producing for the year ended December 31, 2010. Non-income producing assets represent investments that have not produced income for the 12 months preceding December 31, 2010.

Securities Lending

The Company participated in a securities lending program for the purpose of enhancing income on securities held in 2010 and 2009, but there were no securities on loan and no collateral held as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. The Company maintains collateral at a level of at least 102% of the loaned securities’ market value and monitors the market value of the loaned securities on a daily basis.

Assets on Deposit

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, fixed maturity securities with a fair value of $34 million and $50 million, respectively, were on deposit with government authorities as required by law.

At the end of each quarter, the MFC Loan Review Committee reviews all mortgage loans rated BB or lower, as determined by review of the underlying collateral, and decides whether an allowance for credit loss is needed. The Company considers collateral value, the borrower’s ability to pay, normal historical credit loss levels, and future expectations in evaluating whether an allowance for credit losses is required for impaired loans.

Changes in the allowance for probable losses on mortgage loans on real estate are summarized below:

Year ended December 31, 2009	29	36	-	23	42
Year ended December 31, 2008	17	15	-	3	29

A mortgage loan charge-off is recorded when the impaired loan is disposed or when an impaired loan is determined to be a full loss with no possibility of recovery.

Mortgage loans with a carrying value of $81 million were non-income producing for the year ended December 31, 2010. Mortgage loans with a carrying value of $81 million were on nonaccrual status at December 31, 2010. At December 31, 2010, mortgage loans with a carrying value of $4 million were delinquent by less than 90 days and $4 million were delinquent by 90 days or more.

The Company provides for credit risk on mortgage loans by establishing allowances against the carrying value of the impaired loans. The total recorded investment in mortgage loans that is considered to be impaired along with the related allowance for credit losses was as follows:

	December 31,
	2010			2009
	(in millions)
Impaired mortgage loans on real estate with provision for losses	$	115		$	150

Depreciation expense on investment real estate, agriculture, and timber was $63 million, $53 million, and $51 million in 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. Accumulated depreciation was $467 million and $413 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Other Invested Assets

Other invested assets primarily consist of unconsolidated joint ventures, partnerships, and limited liability corporations, which are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Equity method investments totaled $3,571 million and $3,059 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Net investment income (loss) on investments accounted for under the equity method totaled $199 million, $78 million, and $(4) million in 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. Total combined assets of such investments were $46,563 million and $34,412 million (consisting primarily of investments) and total combined liabilities were $14,546 million and $9,960 million (including $8,911 million and $6,539 million of debt) at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Total combined revenues and expenses of these investments in 2010 were $3,998 million and $4,895 million, respectively, resulting in $897 million of total combined loss from operations.

Note 3 — Relationships with Variable Interest Entities

In its capacities as an investor and as an investment manager, the Company has relationships with various types of entities, some of which are considered variable interest entities (“VIEs”).

The variable interest holder, if any, that has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE. The Company’s analysis to determine whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE includes review of the Company’s contractual rights and responsibilities, fees received, and interests held. For the purpose of disclosing consolidated variable interest entities, the Company aggregates similar entities.

If it is not considered to be the primary beneficiary, the Company assesses the materiality of its relationship with the VIE to determine if it holds a significant variable interest, which requires disclosure. This assessment considers the materiality of the VIE relationship to the Company as, among other factors, a percentage of total investments, percentage of total net investment income, and percentage of total funds under management. For purposes of assessing materiality and disclosing significant variable interests, the Company aggregates similar entities.

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities

The following table presents the total assets and total liabilities relating to VIEs for which the Company has concluded that it is the primary beneficiary, and which are consolidated in the Company’s financial statements. The liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating the VIEs do not represent claims against the general assets of the Company. Conversely, the assets recognized as a result of consolidating the VIEs can only be used to settle the liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating the VIEs.

Total	$	567	$	484	$	106	$	106

(1) As discussed in Note 1, upon adoption of ASC 810 effective January 1, 2010, the Company consolidated certain asset-backed investment vehicles, commonly known as collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”), which were previously reported in the unconsolidated VIE table below. The Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary of the CDOs as it provides investment management services, earns a fee for those services, and also holds investments in the entities. At December 31, 2010, these entities held total assets of $451 million, consisting of $401 million of securities classified by the Company as held-for-trading fixed maturities, $44 million of cash, and $6 million of accrued investment income. These entities held total liabilities of $368 million, consisting of $351 million of long-term debt, $10 million of derivative liabilities, and $7 million of other liabilities. See the table below for further discussion regarding CDOs.

(2) The Company’s separate accounts are considered to be the primary beneficiary of certain timberland VIEs, as discussed further below. The Company consolidates the noncontrolling interests in these VIEs within separate account assets and separate account liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Significant Variable Interests in Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities

The following table presents the total assets of, investment in, and maximum exposure to loss relating to VIEs for which the Company has concluded that it holds significant variable interests, but it is not the primary beneficiary, and which have not been consolidated. The Company does not record any liabilities related to the unconsolidated VIEs.

(1) The Company’s investments in unconsolidated VIEs are included in available-for-sale fixed maturities and other invested assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(2) The maximum exposure to loss related to CDOs is limited to the investment reported on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The maximum exposure to loss related to real estate limited partnerships and timber funds is limited to the Company’s investment plus unfunded capital commitments. The maximum loss is expected to occur only upon bankruptcy of the issuer or investee or as a result of a natural disaster in the case of the timber funds.

(3) The Company acts as an investment manager to certain CDOs for which it collects a management fee. In addition, the Company may invest in debt or equity securities issued by these CDOs or by CDOs managed by others. CDOs raise capital by issuing debt and equity securities and use the proceeds to purchase investments.

(4) Real estate limited partnerships include partnerships established for the purpose of investing in real estate that qualifies for low income housing and/or historic tax credits. Limited partnerships are owned by a general partner, who manages the business, and by limited partners, who invest capital, but have limited liability and are not involved in the partnerships’ management. The Company is typically the sole limited partner or investor member of each and is not a general partner or managing member.

(5) The Company acts as investment manager for the VIEs owning the timberland properties (the “timber funds”), which the general account and institutional separate accounts invest in. Timber funds are investment vehicles used primarily by large institutional investors, such as public and corporate pension plans, whose primary source of return is derived from the growth and harvest of timber and long-term appreciation of the property. The primary risks of timberland investing include market uncertainty (fluctuation of timber and timberland investments), relative illiquidity (compared to stocks and other investment assets), and environmental risk (natural hazards or legislation related to threatened or endangered species). These risks are mitigated through effective investment management and geographic diversification of timberland investments. The Company collects an advisory fee from each timber fund and is also eligible for performance and forestry management fees.

Note 4 — Derivatives and Hedging Instruments

Types of Derivatives and Derivative Strategies

Interest Rate Contracts. The Company uses interest rate futures contracts, interest rate swap agreements, and cancelable interest rate swap agreements as part of its overall strategies of managing the duration of assets and liabilities or the average life of certain asset portfolios to specified targets. Interest rate futures contracts are contractual obligations to buy or sell a financial instrument, foreign currency, or other underlying commodity on a pre-determined future date at a specified price. Interest rate futures contracts are agreements with standard amounts and settlement dates that are traded on regulated exchanges. Interest rate swap agreements are contracts with counterparties to exchange interest rate payments of a differing character (i.e., fixed-rate payments exchanged for variable-rate payments) based on an underlying principal balance (notional principal). The net differential to be paid or received on interest rate swap agreements is accrued and recognized as a component of net investment income.

The Company uses interest rate swap agreements to hedge the variable cash flows associated with future fixed income asset acquisitions, which will support the Company’s long-term care and life insurance businesses. These agreements will reduce the impact of future interest rate changes on the cost of acquiring adequate assets to support the investment income assumptions used in pricing these products. During future periods when the acquired assets are held by the Company, the accumulated gain or loss will be amortized into investment income as a yield adjustment on the assets.

The Company also uses interest rate swap agreements to hedge the variable cash flows associated with payments that it will receive on certain floating rate fixed income securities. The accumulated gain or loss will be amortized into investment income as a yield adjustment when the payments are made.

The Company also enters into basis swaps to better match the cash flows from assets and related liabilities. Basis swaps are included in interest rate swaps for disclosure purposes. The Company utilizes basis swaps in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

Inflation swaps are used to reduce inflation risk generated from inflation-indexed liabilities. Inflation swaps are classified within interest rate swaps for disclosure purposes. The Company utilizes inflation swaps in qualifying and non-qualifying hedging relationships.

Forward and futures agreements are contractual obligations to buy or sell a financial instrument, foreign currency, or other underlying commodity on a predetermined future date at a specified price. Forward contracts are OTC contracts negotiated between counterparties, whereas futures agreements are contracts with standard amounts and settlement dates that are traded on regulated exchanges. The Company uses exchange-traded interest rate futures primarily to hedge mismatches between the duration of assets in a portfolio and the duration of liabilities supported by those assets, to hedge against changes in value of securities the Company owns or anticipates acquiring, and to hedge against changes in interest rates on anticipated liability issuances by replicating U.S. Treasury or swap curve performance. The Company utilizes exchange-traded interest rate futures in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

Options are contractual agreements whereby the holder has the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call option) or sell (put option) a security, exchange rate, interest rate, or other financial instrument at a predetermined price/rate within a specified time. The Company also purchases interest rate caps and floors primarily to protect against interest rate exposure arising from mismatches between assets and liabilities (duration mismatches). The Company utilizes interest rate caps and floors in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

Foreign Currency Contracts. Foreign currency derivatives, including foreign currency swaps and foreign currency forwards, are used by the Company to reduce the risk from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates associated with its assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

Cross currency rate swap agreements are used to manage the Company’s exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations, interest rate fluctuations, or both, on foreign currency financial instruments. Cross currency rate swap agreements are contracts to exchange the currencies of two different countries at the same rate of exchange at specified future dates. The net differential to be paid or received on cross currency rate swap agreements is accrued and recognized as a component of net investment income.

F-33

JOHN HANCOCK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY (U.S.A.)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

Note 4 — Derivatives and Hedging Instruments - (continued)

Under foreign currency forwards, the Company agrees with other parties to deliver a specified amount of an identified currency at a specified future date. Typically, the price is agreed upon at the time of the contract and payment for such a contract is made at the specified future date. The maturities of these forwards correspond with the future periods in which the foreign currency transactions are expected to occur. The Company utilizes currency forwards in qualifying and non-qualifying hedging relationships.

Equity Market Contracts. Total return swaps are contracts that involve the exchange of payments based on changes in the value of a reference asset, including any returns such as interest earned on these assets, in exchange for amounts based on reference rates specified in the contract. The Company utilizes total return swaps in qualifying and non-qualifying hedging relationships.

Equity index futures contracts are contractual obligations to buy or sell a specified amount of an underlying equity index at an agreed contract price on a specified date. Equity index futures are contracts with standard amounts and settlement dates that are traded on regulated exchanges. The Company utilizes currency forwards in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

(1) Embedded derivatives related to participating pension contracts are reported as part of future policy benefits and embedded derivatives related to benefit guarantees are reported as part of reinsurance recoverable or future policy benefits on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(2) The fair values of all derivatives in an asset position are reported within derivative asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and derivatives in a liability position are reported within derivative liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, excluding embedded derivatives related to participating pension contracts and benefit guarantees.

Hedging Relationships

The Company uses derivatives for economic hedging purposes. In certain circumstances, these hedges also meet the requirements for hedge accounting. Hedging relationships eligible for hedge accounting are designated as either fair value hedges or cash flow hedges, as described below.

Fair Value Hedges. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changes in fair value of fixed-rate financial instruments caused by changes in interest rates. The Company also uses cross currency swaps to manage its exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations and interest rate fluctuations.

The Company recognizes gains and losses on derivatives and the related hedged items in fair value hedges in net realized investment and other gains (losses). For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, the Company did not recognize any gains or losses related to the portion of the hedging instruments that were excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. At December 31, 2010, the Company had no hedges of firm commitments.

The following table shows the investment gains (losses) recognized:

Cash Flow Hedges. The Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge the variability in cash flows from variable rate financial instruments and forecasted transactions. The Company also uses cross currency swaps and forward agreements to hedge currency exposure on foreign currency financial instruments and foreign currency denominated expenses, respectively. Total return swaps are used to hedge the variability in cash flows associated with certain stock-based compensation awards. Inflation swaps are used to reduce inflation risk generated from inflation-indexed liabilities.

For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, all of the Company’s hedged forecast transactions qualified as cash flow hedges. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, no cash flow hedges were discontinued because it was probable that the original forecasted transactions would not occur by the end of the originally specified time period documented at inception of the hedging relationship.

The Company anticipates that pre-tax net gains of approximately $41 million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings within the next 12 months. The maximum time frame for which variable cash flows are hedged is 36 years.

For a roll forward of the net accumulated gains (losses) on cash flow hedges see Note 12 – Shareholder’s Equity.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments. The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements, cancelable interest rate swap agreements, total return swap agreements, interest rate futures contracts, credit default swaps, and interest rate cap and floor agreements to manage exposure to interest rates without designating the derivatives as hedging instruments. Credit default swaps are contracts in which the buyer makes a series of payments to the seller and, in exchange, receives compensation if one of the events specified in the contract occurs. Interest rate cap agreements are contracts with counterparties which 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 principal balance (notional principal).

In addition, the Company uses interest rate floor agreements to hedge the interest rate risk associated with minimum interest rate guarantees in certain of its life insurance and annuity businesses, without designating the derivatives as hedging instruments.

The Company offers certain variable annuity products with a guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit (“GMWB”) and guaranteed minimum death benefit (“GMDB”). These guarantees are effectively an embedded option on the basket of mutual funds offered to contract holders. Beginning in November 2007, for certain contracts, the Company implemented a hedging program to reduce its exposure to the GMWB and GMDB guarantees. This dynamic hedging program uses interest rate swap agreements, equity index futures (including but not limited to the Dow Jones Industrial, Standard & Poor’s 500, Russell 2000, and Dow Jones Euro Stoxx 50 indices), U.S. Treasury futures, and foreign currency futures to match the sensitivities of the GMWB and GMDB liabilities to the market risk factors.

Beginning in December 2010, the Company implemented a macro equity risk hedging program using equity and currency futures. This program is designed to reduce the Company’s overall exposure to public equity markets arising from several sources including, but not limited to, variable annuity guarantees not dynamically hedged, separate account fees not associated with guarantees, and Company equity holdings.

For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, net losses of $709 million, net losses of $2,679 million, and net gains of $2,901 million, respectively, related to derivatives in a non-hedge relationship were recognized by the Company. These amounts were recorded in net realized investment and other gains (losses).

Embedded Derivatives. The Company has certain embedded derivatives that are required to be separated from their host contracts and accounted for as derivatives. These host contracts include fixed maturities, reinsurance contracts, participating pension contracts, and certain benefit guarantees.

For more details on the Company’s embedded derivatives, see Note 14 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

Credit Risk. The Company may be exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to the derivative financial instruments. The current credit exposure of the Company’s derivative contracts is limited to the fair value in excess of the collateral held at the reporting date.

The Company manages its credit risk by entering into transactions with creditworthy counterparties, obtaining collateral where appropriate, and entering into master netting agreements that provide for a netting of payments and receipts with a single counterparty. The Company enters into credit support annexes with its over-the-counter derivative dealers in order to manage its credit exposure to those counterparties. As part of the terms and conditions of those agreements, the pledging and accepting of collateral in connection with the Company’s derivative usage is required. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had accepted collateral consisting of various securities with a fair value of $824 million and $861 million, respectively, which is held in separate custodial accounts. In addition, as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company pledged collateral of $690 million and $598 million, respectively, which is included in available-for-sale fixed maturities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 5 — Income Taxes

Prior to 2010, the Company filed tax returns as part of two consolidated groups, MHDLLC and JHHLLC. MHDLLC included JHUSA and JHHLLC included JHLICO and JHVLICO. For the 2010 tax year, the Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return of JHHLLC with the following affiliates and wholly-owned subsidiaries: MIC, Manulife Reinsurance Limited, Manulife Reinsurance (Bermuda) Limited, Manulife Service Corporation, John Hancock International Holdings, Inc., John Hancock Life Insurance Company of New York (“JHNY”), and John Hancock Subsidiaries LLC.

In accordance with the income tax sharing agreements in effect for the applicable tax years, the income tax provision (or benefit) is computed as if each entity filed separate federal income tax returns. Intercompany settlements of income taxes are made through an increase or reduction to amounts due to or from affiliates. Such settlements occur on a periodic basis in accordance with the tax sharing agreements. Tax benefits from operating losses are provided at the U.S. statutory rate plus any tax credits attributable, provided the consolidated group utilizes such benefits currently.

Note 5 — Income Taxes - (continued)

The Company received an income tax refund of $31 million in 2010 and made income tax payments of $4 million and $13 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, or local income tax examinations by taxing authorities for years before 1996.

For MHDLLC, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) completed its examinations and the appeals process for years 1998 through 2003, and the Company received income tax refunds for these years in April 2009 totaling $44 million, including interest. The IRS completed its examination of this group’s income tax returns for the years 2004 and 2005 in July 2009. The Company filed protests with the IRS Appeals Division for various adjustments raised by the IRS in its examinations of these years. The IRS commenced an examination of this group’s income tax returns for years 2006 and 2007 in November 2009.

For JHHLLC, the IRS completed its examinations for years 1996 through 1998 in September 2003. The Company filed protests with the IRS Appeals Division for various adjustments raised by the IRS in its examinations of these years. In June 2008, the Company and the IRS Appeals Division agreed to compromise settlement on several issues that arose in the 1996 through 1998 examinations, and in December 2008, the IRS issued a statutory notice of deficiency covering the remaining issues. In March 2009, the Company filed a petition in U.S. Tax Court contesting the statutory notice of deficiency.

The IRS completed its examinations of this group’s income tax returns for the years 1999 through 2001 in October 2006. In August 2009, the Company and the IRS Appeals Division agreed to compromise settlement on several issues that arose in the examinations, and in December 2009, the IRS issued a statutory notice of deficiency covering the remaining issues. In March 2010, the Company filed a petition in U.S. Tax Court contesting the statutory notice of deficiency.

The IRS completed its examination of this group’s income tax returns for the years 2002 through 2004 in August 2009. The Company filed protests with the IRS Appeals Division for various adjustments raised by the IRS in its examinations of these years. The IRS examination for years 2005 and 2006 commenced in January 2010.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

	December 31
	2010			2009
	(in millions)
Beginning balance	$	2,161		$	1,869
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year		202			182
Additions for tax positions of prior years		177			349
Reductions for tax positions of prior years		(144	)		(239	)
Ending balance	$	2,396		$	2,161

Included in the balances as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, are $338 million and $356 million of unrecognized benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate.

Included in the balances as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, are $2,058 million and $1,805 million of tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, other than interest or penalties, the disallowance of the shorter deductibility period would not affect the annual effective tax rate, but would accelerate the payment of taxes to an earlier period.

An estimate of the change in unrecognized tax benefits attributable to deductions for dividends received cannot be made at this time because there is no specific information available with respect to either the position that will be taken by the U.S. Treasury Department or the effective dates of the anticipated regulations.

Note 5 — Income Taxes - (continued)

The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense (part of other operating costs and expenses) and penalties in income tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, the Company recognized approximately $166 million, $224 million, and $195 million in interest expense, respectively. The Company had approximately $1,044 million and $878 million accrued for interest as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company did not recognize any material amounts of penalties during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008.

Note 6 — Closed Blocks

The Company operates two separate closed blocks for the benefit of certain classes of individual or joint traditional participating whole life insurance policies. The JHUSA closed block was established upon the demutualization of MLI for those designated participating policies that were in-force on September 23, 1999. The JHLICO closed block was established upon the demutualization of JHLICO for those designated participating policies that were in-force on February 1, 2000.

Assets were allocated to the closed blocks in an amount that, together with anticipated revenues from policies included in the closed blocks, was reasonably expected to be sufficient to support such business, including provision for payment of benefits, direct asset acquisition and disposition costs, and taxes, and for continuation of dividend scales, assuming experience underlying such dividend scales continues. Assets allocated to the closed blocks inure solely to the benefit of the holders of the policies included in the closed blocks and will not revert to the benefit of the shareholder of the Company. No reallocation, transfer, borrowing, or lending of assets can be made between the closed blocks and other portions of the Company’s general account, any of its separate accounts, or any affiliate of the Company without prior approval from the State of Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation.

If, over time, the aggregate performance of the assets and policies of a closed block is better than was assumed in funding that closed block, dividends to policyholders for that closed block will be increased. If, over time, the aggregate performance of the assets and policies of a closed block is less favorable than was assumed in funding that closed block, dividends to policyholders for that closed block will be reduced.

The assets and liabilities allocated to the closed blocks are recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Operations on the same basis as other similar assets and liabilities. The carrying amount of the closed blocks’ liabilities in excess of the carrying amount of the closed blocks’ assets at the date the closed blocks were established (adjusted to eliminate the impact of related amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income) represents the maximum future earnings from the assets and liabilities designated to the closed blocks that can be recognized in income over the period the policies in the closed blocks remain in force. The Company has developed an actuarial calculation of the timing of such maximum future shareholder earnings, and this is the basis of the policyholder dividend obligation.

If actual cumulative earnings of a closed block are greater than expected cumulative earnings of that block, only expected earnings will be recognized in that closed block’s income. Actual cumulative earnings in excess of expected cumulative earnings of a closed block represent undistributed accumulated earnings attributable to policyholders, which are recorded as a policyholder dividend obligation because the excess will be paid to the policyholders of that closed block as an additional policyholder dividend unless otherwise offset by future closed block performance that is less favorable than originally expected. If actual cumulative performance of a closed block is less favorable than expected, expected earnings for that closed block will be recognized in net income, unless the policyholder dividend obligation has been reduced to zero, in which case actual earnings will be recognized in income. Actual experience within the JHLICO closed block, in particular realized and unrealized losses, resulted in a reduction of the remaining policyholder dividend obligation to zero during the year ended December 31, 2008. The policyholder dividend obligation for the JHUSA closed block remains zero at December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Note 6 — Closed Blocks - (continued)

For all closed block policies, the principal cash flow items that affect the amount of closed block assets and liabilities are premiums, net investment income, purchases and sales of investments, policyholders’ benefits, policyholder dividends, premium taxes, guaranty fund assessments, and income taxes. For the JHLICO closed block policies, the principal income and expense items excluded from the closed block are management and maintenance expenses, commissions, and net investment income and realized investment gains and losses of investment assets outside the closed block that support the closed block business, all of which enter into the determination of total gross margins of closed block policies for the purpose of the amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs. There are no exclusions applicable to the JHUSA closed block. The amounts shown in the following tables for assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of the closed blocks are those that enter into the determination of amounts that are to be paid to policyholders.

The following tables set forth certain summarized financial information relating to the closed blocks as of the dates indicated:

Note 8 — Related Party Transactions

Reinsurance Transactions

Effective December 31, 2008, the Company entered into an amended and restated reinsurance agreement with an affiliate, John Hancock Reassurance Company Limited (“JHRECO”), to reinsure 20% of the risk related to payout annuity policies issued January 1, 2008 through September 30, 2008 and 65% of the risk related to payout annuity policies issued prior to January 1, 2008. The reinsurance agreement is written on a modified coinsurance basis where the assets supporting the reinsured policies remain invested with the Company. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company recorded a reduction of $3,640 million in premiums in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and recorded a modified coinsurance reserve adjustment of $3,640 million, which reduced benefits to policyholders in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2008.

The Company reinsured certain portions of its long-term care insurance and group annuity contracts with JHRECO. The Company entered into these reinsurance contracts in order to facilitate its capital management process. These reinsurance contracts are written both on a funds withheld basis where the related financial assets remain invested at the Company and a modified coinsurance agreement. As of July 1, 2010, amendments were made to the contracts to update the calculation of investment income and the expense allowance to reflect current experience. The Company recorded a liability for coinsurance amounts withheld from JHRECO of $4,784 million and $4,147 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and recorded a reinsurance recoverable from JHRECO of $5,414 million and $4,749 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which was included with reinsurance recoverable on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Premiums ceded to JHRECO were $625 million, $644 million, and $656 million during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. Claims incurred ceded to JHRECO were $652 million, $603 million, and $538 million during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

Effective October 1, 2008, the Company entered into a reinsurance agreement with an affiliate, Manulife Reinsurance (Bermuda) Limited (“MRBL”), to reinsure 75% of certain group annuity contracts in-force. The reinsurance agreement covers all contracts, excluding the guaranteed benefit rider, issued and in-force as of September 30, 2008. As the underlying contracts being reinsured are considered investment contracts, the agreement does not meet the criteria for reinsurance accounting and was classified as a financial instrument. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company received initial consideration of $1,495 million, which was classified as unearned revenue. Effective October 1, 2009, the original agreement was amended to increase the quota share percentage from 75% to 87%. Under the terms of the amended agreement, additional consideration of $250 million was due to the Company on December 31, 2009, which was paid by MRBL on March 31, 2010. The Company recorded this amount as a receivable as of December 31, 2009. As a result of the amendment,

the unearned revenue of $250 million as of September 30, 2009 was included with the balance of unearned revenue related to the initial consideration. These amounts are being amortized into income through other operating costs and expenses on a basis consistent with the manner in which the deferred policy acquisition costs on the underlying reinsured contracts are recognized. The balance of the unearned revenue liability was $1,563 million and $1,705 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Effective October 1, 2008, the Company entered into an amended and restated reinsurance agreement with MRBL to reinsure 90% of a significant block of variable annuity contracts in-force. All substantial risks, including all guaranteed benefits, related to certain specified policies not already reinsured to third parties, are reinsured under the agreement. The base contracts are reinsured on a modified coinsurance basis, while the guaranteed benefit reinsurance coverage is apportioned in accordance with the reinsurance agreement provisions between modified coinsurance and coinsurance funds withheld. The assets supporting the reinsured policies remain invested with the Company. As of November 15, 2010, the agreement was amended to update the calculation of investment income. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, the Company reported a reinsurance recoverable for ceded reserves and cost of reinsurance of $1,595 million and $1,681 million and a liability for coinsurance funds withheld of $72 million and $194 million on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2010, the Company reported a reinsurance settlement receivable from MRBL of $180 million, which was included with amounts due from and held for affiliates, and as of December 31, 2009, the Company reported a reinsurance settlement payable to MRBL of $261 million, which was included with amounts due to affiliates on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The net MRBL reinsurance recoverable includes the impact of ongoing reinsurance cash flows and is accounted for over the life of the underlying reinsured policies using assumptions consistent with those used to account for the underlying policies with changes to ceded reserves and cost of reinsurance recognized as a component of benefits to policyholders on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Effective December 31, 2004, the Company entered into a reinsurance agreement with MRBL to reinsure 75% of the non-reinsured risk of the JHLICO closed block. The Company amended this treaty during 2008 to increase the portion of non-reinsured risk reinsured under this treaty to 90% and amended it during 2009 to provide additional surplus relief. The reinsurance agreement is written on a modified coinsurance basis where the related financial assets remain invested within the Company. As the reinsurance agreement does not subject the reinsurer to the reasonable possibility of significant loss, it was classified as financial reinsurance and given deposit-type accounting treatment with only the reinsurance risk fee being reported in other operating costs and expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Effective December 31, 2003, the Company entered into a reinsurance agreement with MRBL to reinsure 90% of the non-reinsured risk of the JHUSA closed block. As approximately 90% of the mortality risk is covered under previously existing contracts with third-party reinsurers and the resulting limited mortality risk is inherent in the new contract with MRBL, it was classified as financial reinsurance and given deposit-type accounting treatment. The Company retained title to the invested assets supporting this block of business. These invested assets are held in trust on behalf of MRBL and are included in amounts due from and held for affiliates on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amounts held at December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $2,394 million and $2,290 million, respectively, and are accounted for as fixed maturities available-for-sale.

Service Agreements

The Company has formal service agreements with MFC and MLI, which can be terminated by either party upon two months notice. Under the various agreements, the Company will pay direct operating expenses incurred by MFC and MLI on behalf of the Company. Services provided under the agreements include legal, actuarial, investment, data processing, accounting, and certain other administrative services. Costs incurred under the agreements were $372 million, $394 million, and $374 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had amounts receivable from MFC and MLI of $1 million and amounts payable to MFC and MLI of $10 million, respectively.

Management believes the allocation methods used are reasonable and appropriate in the circumstances; however, the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets may not necessarily be indicative of the financial condition that would have existed if the Company operated as an unaffiliated entity.

On July 15, 2009, MFC fully and unconditionally guaranteed payments from the guarantee periods of the accumulation phase of the Company’s new market value adjusted deferred annuity contracts.

On July 8, 2005, MFC fully and unconditionally guaranteed JHLICO’s SignatureNotes, both those outstanding at that time and those to be issued subsequently. Pursuant to the merger of JHLICO into JHUSA, as discussed in Note 1, those SignatureNotes became obligations of the Company. MFC continues to guarantee the SignatureNotes originally issued by JHLICO. On December 9, 2009, MFC issued a guarantee of any new SignatureNotes to be issued by the Company.

MFC’s guarantees of the market value adjusted deferred annuity contracts and SignatureNotes are unsecured obligations of MFC and are subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all other obligations of MFC, except for other guarantees or obligations of MFC, which by their terms are designated as ranking equally in right of payment with or subordinate to MFC’s guarantees of the market value adjusted deferred annuity contracts and SignatureNotes. As a result of the guarantees by MFC, the Company is exempt from filing quarterly and annual reports with the SEC pursuant to SEC Rule 12h-5, and in lieu thereof, MFC reports condensed consolidating financial information regarding the Company in its quarterly and annual reports.

Effective March 31, 1996, MLI provides a claims paying guarantee to certain U.S. policyholders. The Claims Guarantee Agreement was revoked effective August 13, 2008, but still remains in effect with respect to policies issued by the Company prior to that date.

Note 9 — Reinsurance

The effect of reinsurance on life, health, and annuity premiums earned was as follows:

	2010			2009			2008
	(in millions)
Direct	$	5,897		$	5,680		$	5,677

Ceded		(3,173	)		(3,118	)		(6,817	)
Net life, health, and annuity premiums earned	$	3,922		$	3,946		$	81

For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, benefits to policyholders under life, health, and annuity ceded reinsurance contracts were $4,433 million, $3,442 million, and $2,964 million, respectively.

The Company utilizes reinsurance agreements to provide for greater diversification of business, allowing management to control exposure to potential losses arising from large risks, and provide additional capacity for growth.

Reinsurance ceded contracts do not relieve the Company from its obligations to policyholders. The Company remains liable to its policyholders for the portion reinsured to the extent that any reinsurer does not meet its obligations for reinsurance ceded to it under the reinsurance agreements. Failure of the reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company; consequently, estimates are established for amounts deemed or estimated to be uncollectible. To minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurance insolvencies, the Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentration of credit risk arising from similar characteristics among the reinsurers.

Note 10 — Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

Prior to December 31, 2010, the Company accounted for its share of the qualified defined benefit plan, the non-qualified defined benefit plan, and the employee welfare plan as direct legal obligations of the Company and accounted for the corresponding plan obligations on its Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Operations. Effective December 31, 2010, the Company transferred the sponsorship of these plans to MIC, the Company’s immediate parent, along with the associated net liabilities. The impact of the transfer on the Company’s December 31, 2010 Consolidated Balance Sheet was a decrease in total liabilities of $460 million, a decrease in additional paid-in capital of $13 million, and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income of $473 million, net of tax.

As of the transfer date, the assets and liabilities of these plans became direct obligations of MIC, while JHUSA became a participating employer in the plans transferred. Prospectively, the Company will remain jointly and severally liable for the funding requirements of the plans and will recognize its required contributions as net periodic benefit cost in its consolidated financial statements.

Prior to December 31, 2010, the Company sponsored a funded qualified defined benefit plan (the ‘Plan”) that covers substantially all of its employees. Historically, pension benefits were calculated utilizing a traditional formula. Under the traditional formula, benefits were provided based upon length of service and final average compensation. As of January 1, 2002, all defined benefit pension plans were amended to a cash balance basis. Under the cash balance formula, participants are credited with benefits equal to a percentage of eligible pay, as well as interest. Certain grandfathered employees are eligible to receive benefits based upon the greater of the traditional formula or cash balance formula. In addition, early retirement benefits are subsidized for certain grandfathered employees.

Prior to December 31, 2010, the Company’s funding policy for its qualified defined benefit plan was to contribute annually an amount at least equal to the minimum annual contribution required under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and other applicable laws and generally not greater than the maximum amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes. In 2010, 2009, and 2008, no contributions were made to the qualified plan.

Note 10 — Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans - (continued)

Prior to December 31, 2010, the Company also sponsored an unfunded non-qualified defined benefit plan. This plan provides supplemental benefits in excess of the compensation limit outlined in the Internal Revenue Code for certain employees.

Prior to December 31, 2010, the Company’s funding policy for its non-qualified defined benefit plan was to contribute an amount equal to the plan’s benefit payments made during the year. The contribution to the non-qualified plan was $31 million, $34 million, and $33 million in 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

Prior to December 31, 2010, the Company provided postretirement medical and life insurance benefits for its retired employees and their spouses through its sponsorship of the John Hancock Financial Services, Inc. Employee Welfare Plan. Effective January 1, 2010, the plan was renamed the John Hancock Employee Welfare Plan and plan sponsorship was transferred from JHFS to the Company. Certain employees hired prior to January 1, 2005 who meet age and service criteria may be eligible for these postretirement benefits in accordance with the plan’s provisions. The majority of retirees contribute a portion of the total cost of postretirement medical benefits. Life insurance benefits are based on final compensation subject to the plan maximum.

The welfare plan was amended effective January 1, 2007 whereby participants who had not reached a certain age and years of service with the Company were no longer eligible for such Company contributory benefits. Also, the number of years of service required to be eligible for the benefit was increased to 15 years for all participants. The future retiree life insurance coverage amount was frozen as of December 31, 2006.

Prior to December 31, 2010, the Company’s policy was to fund its other postretirement benefits in amounts at or below the annual tax qualified limits. The contribution for the other postretirement benefits was $48 million, $54 million, and $59 million in 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

The Company participates in a non-qualified defined contribution pension plan maintained by MFC, which was established as of January 1, 2008 with participant directed investment options. The expense for the plan was $8 million in 2010 and $7 million in both 2009 and 2008. The prior non-qualified defined benefit plan was frozen except for grandfathered participants as of January 1, 2008, and the benefits accrued under the prior plan continue to be subject to the prior plan provisions.

The Company participates in qualified defined contribution plans for its employees who meet certain eligibility requirements. Sponsorship of these plans transferred from JHFS to the Company effective January 1, 2010. These plans include the Investment-Incentive Plan for John Hancock Employees and the John Hancock Savings and Investment Plan. The expense for the defined contribution plans was $18 million, $19 million, and $19 million in 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

The Company uses a December 31 measurement date to account for its pension and other postretirement benefit plans.

Health care cost trend rate for following year							N/A		8.50	%

Weighted-average assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost were as follows:

	Years ended December 31,
	Pension Benefits									Other Postretirement Benefits
	2010			2009			2008			2010			2009			2008
Discount rate		5.50	%		6.00	%		6.00	%		5.50	%		6.00	%		6.00	%
Expected long-term return on plan assets		7.75	%		8.00	%		8.00	%		7.75	%		8.00	%		8.00	%
Rate of compensation increase		4.35	%		4.10	%		5.10	%		N/A			N/A			N/A
Health care cost trend rate for following year											8.50	%		8.50	%		9.00	%
Ultimate trend rate											5.00	%		5.00	%		5.00	%
Year ultimate rate reached											2028			2016			2016

The overall expected long-term rate of return on plan assets assumption reflects the Company’s best estimate. The general approach used to develop the assumption takes into consideration the allocation of assets held on the measurement date, plus the target allocation of expected contributions to the plan for the upcoming fiscal year, net of investment expenses. The rate is calculated using historical weighted-average real returns for each significant class of plan assets including the effects of continuous reinvestment of earnings. In addition, the calculation includes a long-term expectation of general inflation. Current market conditions and published commentary are also considered when assessing the reasonableness of the overall expected long-term rate of return on plan assets assumption.

Plan Assets

The Company’s overall investment strategy was to achieve a mix of approximately 94% of investments for long-term growth and 6% for near-term benefit payments, with a wide diversification of asset types, fund strategies, and fund managers.

The target allocations for plan assets are 52% equity securities, 35% fixed income securities, and 13% to all other types of investments. Equity securities primarily include investments in large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap companies primarily located in the United States. Fixed income securities include corporate bonds of companies from a diverse range of industries, mortgage-backed securities, and U.S. Treasuries. Other types of investments include investments in private equity funds and timber and agriculture investments that follow several different strategies.

Pension plan assets of $0 million and $702 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, were investments managed by related parties. Welfare plan assets of $0 million and $185 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, were investments in related parties.

The plans did not own any of the Company’s or MFC’s common stock at December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Fair Value Measurements

Following ASC 820 guidance, the Company categorizes its fair value measurements of pension and other postretirement benefit plan assets according to a three-level hierarchy. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used by the plans’ valuation techniques. A level is assigned to each fair value measurement based on the lowest level input significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For additional information regarding the valuation hierarchy and the Company’s determination of fair value, see Note 14 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

The following is a description of the valuation techniques used to measure fair value and the general classification of these instruments pursuant to the fair value hierarchy:

Cash and cash equivalents – The carrying values for cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Cash and cash equivalents are included in Level 1.

Domestic equity – Includes investments in separate accounts and common/collective trusts. Separate account fair values are determined by the fair value of the underlying assets. Underlying domestic equity assets are valued based on observable quoted prices in active markets, and these separate account investments are included in Level 1. Collective trust fair values are determined monthly and bi-monthly based on observable quoted prices in an inactive market, and these investments are included in Level 2.

International equity – Includes investments in mutual funds and common/collective trusts. Mutual fund fair values are determined based upon observable net asset values (“NAV”), and these investments are included in Level 1. Collective trust fair values are determined monthly and bi-monthly based on observable quoted prices in an inactive market, and these investments are included in Level 2.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

Note 10 — Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans - (continued)

Domestic fixed income – Includes investments in mutual funds and separate accounts of the group annuity contract.

Risk Management Practices and Investment Goals

Investment allocation decisions for plan assets were made in accordance with the criteria and limitations set forth in the most recent Statement of Investment Policies and Procedures (the “Statement”), as amended and restated effective November 17, 2009. The Company relies on the Statement to set forth guidelines for adopting and maintaining certain funding policies in accordance with the provisions of ERISA and to ensure that the Plan maintains sufficient amounts to meet the obligations of the Plan as they come due.

The Company’s board of directors had delegated the fiduciary oversight responsibility of the Plan to the U.S. Benefits Committee (the “Committee”), which in turn, established and actively monitors specialized subcommittees to ensure continued prudent and effective management of the Plan. One such subcommittee, the Investment Committee, is responsible for diversification of plan assets to achieve a suitable combination of investment risk and rate of return for the exclusive benefit of plan participants and beneficiaries. In order to satisfy the Plan’s ongoing obligations and minimize the likelihood of a significant deterioration in the Plan’s funded status resulting from capital market activity, the Investment Committee retained an Investment Advisor, John Hancock Investment Management Services LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, to assist in the overall strategic investment direction of the fund.

Investment Policies and Strategies

The overall investment policies and strategies of the Plan were based on the guiding principle of diversification. Plan investments were allocated primarily between the major asset classes of fixed income and equity, with a relatively smaller proportion of investments in alternative asset classes. These investments fall into two broad categories within the context of the current asset allocation policy.

Liability-Hedging Assets – These assets consist primarily of fixed income investments, such as bonds, that generally have characteristics similar to pension liabilities, including predictable cash flows and comparable durations. In addition to capital preservation, the payment streams provided by liability-hedging assets are used to satisfy plan obligations as they become due.

Return-Seeking Assets – All non-fixed income investments, such as equities and certain alternative asset classes, fall into this category. In pursuing these investments, the Plan seeks to experience higher returns from appreciation in asset values. Historically, the long-term rate of return on equities has been higher than most investment grade fixed income securities. The increased yield comes at the expense of increased volatility and unpredictability in cash flows.

Permitted and Prohibited Investments

Plan investments were permitted to be made either directly, through pooled or mutual funds, or through insurance contracts, and both active and passive strategies have been used. In order to fulfill its fiduciary responsibility and to ensure that plan assets are invested prudently, the Committee has compiled a list of prohibited investments, as well as placed constraints on certain permitted investments. Moreover, the Plan was not permitted to borrow funds to acquire securities or otherwise deal in margin trading. Additional restrictions and constraints, by asset class, are outlined below.

Fixed Income

The Plan’s fixed income exposure was achieved through investments in separate accounts or mutual funds. For securities held in separate accounts, the combined market value of any individual investments, as a percentage of the aggregate market value of all fixed income investments, was not to exceed the maximum quality limits outlined below. Each mutual fund investment was governed by its own prospectus, and therefore not subject to these quality limits.

Investment Rating	Maximum Limit
AAA		100	%
AA		90	%
A		75	%
BBB & Lower		50	%
BB & Lower		8	%

Note 10 — Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans - (continued)

Equities

The Plan’s domestic and international equity investments were required to be fully diversified across sectors and countries at all times. In addition, the Plan was prohibited from acquiring more than 7.5% of the outstanding securities of any one company. The Plan was also prohibited from holding greater than 10% of its assets in the form of MFC stock.

Derivatives, Options, and Futures

The use of derivatives was permitted for the purpose of hedging investment risks, including market, interest rate, credit, liquidity, and currency risks. Derivatives may also have been used to replicate direct investments, in instances where the Plan would benefit from lower costs or transactional ease. Conversely, the use of derivatives to create leverage for speculative purposes was prohibited. The Plan was also required to hold cash and cash equivalents equal to the underlying market exposure of derivatives, net of margin funds. The Plan was permitted to invest in options and futures on any securities that were not specifically prohibited by the Statement, but it was prohibited from selling derivatives on securities it did not own.

Investments in Other Assets

Pursuant to the asset allocation policy, the Plan was permitted to make investments in alternative asset classes. The Plan was permitted to invest in private equity, power and infrastructure equity, timber and agricultural investments, but hedge funds were prohibited. The Investment Committee was required to approve any proposed investments in other assets that were not specifically permitted above.

Note 11 — Commitments, Guarantees, Contingencies, and Legal Proceedings

Commitments. The Company has extended commitments to purchase U.S. private debt and to issue mortgage loans on real estate totaling $1,824 million and $130 million, respectively, at December 31, 2010. If funded, loans related to real estate mortgages would be fully collateralized by the mortgaged properties. The Company monitors the creditworthiness of borrowers under long-term bond commitments and requires collateral as deemed necessary. The majority of these commitments expire in 2011.

The Company leases office space under non-cancelable operating lease agreements of various expiration dates. Rental expenses, net of sub-lease income, were $24 million, $26 million, and $22 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

During 2001, the Company entered into an office ground lease agreement, which expires on September 20, 2096. The terms of the lease agreement provide for adjustments in future periods. The future minimum lease payments, by year and in the aggregate, under the remaining ground lease and other non-cancelable operating leases along with the associated sub-lease income are as follows:

	Non- cancelable Operating Leases		Sub-lease Income
	(in millions)
2011	$	48	$	17
2012		42		17
2013		39		17
2014		29		14
2015		13		3
Thereafter		410		-
Total	$	581	$	68

Guarantees. In the course of business, the Company enters into guarantees which vary in nature and purpose and which are accounted for and disclosed under U.S. GAAP specific to the insurance industry. The Company had no guarantees outstanding outside the scope of insurance accounting at December 31, 2010.

JOHN HANCOCK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY (U.S.A.)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

Note 11 — Commitments, Guarantees, Contingencies, and Legal Proceedings - (continued)

Contingencies. The Company is an investor in leveraged leases and has established provisions for possible disallowance of the tax treatment and for interest on past due taxes. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company increased this provision by $94 million and $186 million, net of tax, respectively. The Company continues to believe that deductions originally claimed in relation to these arrangements are appropriate. Although not expected to occur, should the tax attributes of the leveraged leases be fully denied, the maximum after tax exposure including interest would be an additional estimated $218 million at December 31, 2010.

The Company owns an 80% interest in Phipps Tower Associates LLC, a limited liability company formed for the purpose of development, construction, leasing, and operation of Phipps Tower, an office building located in Atlanta, Georgia. The construction of Phipps Tower was completed in February 2010 and is currently in the leasing phase. Under an LLC agreement entered into by the Company with its partner developer, both parties have rights to a one-time put/call option when the project has achieved its stabilization stage, defined as when 85% of the gross rentable area of the building has been leased and the tenants under such leases have accepted delivery of the premises. At that time, the Company may exercise its call option to purchase the partner developer’s interest in the project, and the partner developer may exercise its put option and sell its interest to the Company. If on or before March 5, 2013 the stabilization stage has not been achieved, or stabilization has been achieved but options have not been exercised, the Company is obligated to purchase the partner developer’s entire interest (20%) in the project for the greater of the project cost or 95% of market value at the time of the buyout. The current estimated minimum amount that the Company would be required to pay is $7 million. This estimate is 20% of the $108 million cost of construction, net of $73 million of related loans payable.

Legal Proceedings. The Company is regularly involved in litigation, both as a defendant and as a plaintiff. The litigation naming the Company as a defendant ordinarily involves its activities as a provider of insurance protection and wealth management products, an employer, and a taxpayer. In addition, state regulatory bodies, state attorneys general, the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and other government and regulatory bodies regularly make inquiries and, from time to time, require the production of information or conduct examinations concerning the Company’s compliance with, among other things, insurance laws, securities laws, and laws governing the activities of broker-dealers. The Company does not believe that the conclusion of any current legal or regulatory matters, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Statutory Results

The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, JHNY and John Hancock Life & Health Insurance Company, are required to prepare statutory financial statements in accordance with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the insurance departments of their states of domicile, which are Michigan, New York, and Massachusetts, respectively.

At December 31, 2008, JHUSA, with the explicit permission of the Commissioner, used the implied forward rates from the rolling average of the swap rates that have been observed over the past three years instead of the implied forward rates from the swap curve observed at December 31, 2008 for purposes of its C-3 Phase II calculation. The impact of using this approach was a $53 million decrease in JHUSA’s authorized control level risk-based capital as of December 31, 2008. This permitted practice was effective for reporting periods beginning on or after December 31, 2008 and ended September 30, 2009.

At December 31, 2008, JHUSA, with the explicit permission of the Commissioner, recorded an increase in the net admitted deferred tax asset (“DTA”) instead of the deferred tax calculation required by prescribed statutory accounting practices. If the net admitted DTA was reflected on the statutory balance sheet based on prescribed practices, the DTA and statutory surplus at December 31, 2008 would both be decreased by $84 million. The permitted practice had no effect on statutory net income. This permitted practice was effective for reporting periods beginning on or after December 31, 2008 and ended September 30, 2009.

The Company’s statutory net income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 was $35 million (unaudited), $(76) million, and $(2,407) million, respectively. The Company’s statutory capital and surplus as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $5,093 million (unaudited) and $5,012 million, respectively.

Unless approved by the Commissioner prior to payment, dividends to the shareholder shall be declared or paid only from the Company’s earned surplus. Dividends to the shareholder that may be paid without prior approval of the Commissioner are limited by the laws of the State of Michigan. Such dividends are permissible if, together with other dividends or distributions made within the preceding 12 months, they do not exceed the greater of 10% of the Company’s surplus as of December 31 of the preceding year, or the net gain from operations for the 12 month period ending December 31 of the immediately preceding year.

Note 13 — Segment Information

The Company operates in the following three business segments: (1) Insurance and (2) Wealth Management, which primarily serve retail and institutional customers and (3) Corporate and Other, which includes the institutional advisory business, the remaining international insurance operations, the reinsurance operations, and the corporate account.

The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units offering different products and services. The reportable segments are managed separately, as they focus on different products, markets, and distribution channels.

Insurance Segment. Offers a variety of individual life insurance products, including participating whole life, term life, universal life, and variable life insurance, and individual and group long-term care insurance. Products are distributed through multiple distribution channels, including insurance agents, brokers, banks, financial planners, and direct marketing.

Wealth Management Segment. Offers individual and group annuities and mutual fund products and services. Individual annuities consist of fixed deferred annuities, fixed immediate annuities, and variable annuities. Mutual fund products and services primarily consist of open-end mutual funds, closed-end funds, institutional advisory accounts, and privately managed accounts. These products are distributed through multiple distribution channels, including insurance agents and brokers affiliated with the Company, securities brokerage firms, financial planners, pension plan sponsors, pension plan consultants, and banks.

This segment also offers a variety of retirement products to qualified defined benefit plans, defined contribution plans, and non-qualified buyers, including guaranteed investment contracts, funding agreements, single premium annuities, and general account participating annuities and fund-type products. These contracts provide non-guaranteed, partially guaranteed, and fully guaranteed investment options through general and separate account products.

These products are distributed through a combination of dedicated regional representatives, pension consultants, and investment professionals. The segment’s consumer notes program is distributed primarily through brokers affiliated with the Company and securities brokerage firms.

Corporate and Other Segment. Primarily consists of the Company’s remaining international insurance operations, certain corporate operations, the institutional advisory business, reinsurance operations, and businesses that are either disposed or in run-off. Corporate operations primarily include certain financing activities, income on capital not specifically allocated to the reporting segments, and certain non-recurring expenses not allocated to the segments. Reinsurance refers to the transfer of all or part of certain risks related to policies issued by the Company to a reinsurer or to the assumption of risk from other insurers. The disposed business primarily consists of group health insurance and related group life insurance, property and casualty insurance, and selected broker-dealer operations.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Allocations of net investment income are based on the amount of assets allocated to each segment. Other costs and operating expenses are allocated to each segment based on a review of the nature of such costs, cost allocations utilizing time studies, and other relevant allocation methodologies.

The following table summarizes selected financial information by segment for the periods indicated. Included in the Insurance Segment for all periods presented are the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of the closed blocks. For additional information on the closed blocks, see Note 6 — Closed Blocks.

(1) Fixed maturities available-for-sale exclude leveraged leases of $1,932 million and $2,012 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company calculates the carrying value of its leveraged leases by accruing income at their expected internal rate of return.

ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; that is, an exit value. The exit value assumes the asset or liability is exchanged in an orderly transaction; it is not a forced liquidation or distressed sale.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

Note 14 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments – (continued)

ASC 820 created the following two primary categories for the purpose of fair value disclosure:

• Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value and Reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets – This category includes assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis. Financial instruments measured on a recurring basis include fixed maturities, equity securities, short-term investments, derivatives, and separate account assets. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include mortgage loans, joint ventures, limited partnership interests, and goodwill, which are reported at fair value only in the period in which an impairment is recognized.

• Other Assets and Liabilities Not Reported at Fair Value – This category includes assets and liabilities, which do not require the additional ASC 820 disclosures, as follows:

Mortgage loans on real estate – The fair value of unimpaired mortgage loans is estimated using discounted cash flows and takes into account the contractual maturities and discount rates, which were based on current market rates for similar maturity ranges and adjusted for risk due to the property type.

Policy loans – These loans are carried at unpaid principal balances, which approximate their fair values.

Cash and cash equivalents – The carrying values for cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

Consumer notes, guaranteed investment contracts, and funding agreements – The fair values associated with these financial instruments are determined by projecting cash flows and discounting at current corporate rates, defined as U.S. Treasury rates plus MFC’s corporate spread. The fair value attributable to credit risk represents the present value of the spread.

Debt – The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is estimated using discounted cash flows based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rates for similar type of borrowing arrangements. As a result of the adoption of ASC 810 effective January 1, 2010, long-term debt at December 31, 2010 includes variable and fixed rate notes related to consolidated variable interest entities. The carrying value of this debt approximates fair value at December 31, 2010. For further information regarding the adoption of ASC 810, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

The carrying values for commercial paper and short-term borrowings approximate fair value.

Fixed-rate deferred and immediate annuities – The fair value of fixed-rate deferred annuities is estimated by projecting multiple stochastically generated interest rate scenarios under a risk neutral environment reflecting inputs (interest rates, volatility, etc.) observable at the valuation date. The fair value of fixed immediate annuities is determined by projecting cash flows and discounting at current corporate rates, defined as U.S. Treasury rates plus MFC’s corporate spread. The fair value attributable to credit risk represents the present value of the spread.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets

Valuation Hierarchy

Following ASC 820 guidance, the Company categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used by the Company’s valuation techniques. A level is assigned to each fair value measurement based on the lowest level input significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

• Level 1 – Fair value measurements that reflect unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Valuations are based on quoted prices reflecting market transactions involving assets or liabilities identical to those being measured. Level 1 assets primarily include exchange traded equity securities and certain separate account assets.

JOHN HANCOCK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY (U.S.A.)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

Note 14 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments - (continued)

• Level 2 – Fair value measurements using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in inactive markets, inputs that are observable that are not prices (such as interest rates, credit risks, etc.), and inputs that are derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

Most debt securities are classified within Level 2. Also included in the Level 2 category are derivative instruments that are priced using models with observable market inputs, including most derivative financial instruments and certain separate account assets.

• Level 3 – Fair value measurements using significant nonmarket observable inputs. These include valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived using data, some or all of which is not market observable data, including assumptions about risk.

Level 3 securities include less liquid securities, such as structured asset-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and other securities that have little or no price transparency. Embedded and complex derivative financial instruments and separate account investments in real estate are also included in Level 3.

Determination of Fair Value

The valuation methodologies used to determine the fair values of assets and liabilities under ASC 820 reflect market participant assumptions and are based on the application of the fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable market inputs over unobservable inputs. When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine fair value and classifies such items within Level 1. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon valuation techniques, which discount expected cash flows utilizing independent market observable interest rates based on the credit quality and duration of the instrument. Items valued using models are classified according to the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. Thus, an item may be classified in Level 3 even though significant market observable inputs are used.

The following is a description of the valuation techniques used to measure fair value and the general classification of these instruments pursuant to the fair value hierarchy:

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

Fixed Maturities

For fixed maturities, including corporate debt, U.S. Treasury, commercial and residential mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations, issuances by foreign governments, and obligations of state and political subdivisions, fair values are based on quoted market prices when available. When market prices are not available, fair value is generally estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, incorporating current market inputs for similar financial instruments with comparable terms and credit quality (matrix pricing). The significant inputs into these models include, but are not limited to, yield curves, credit risks and spreads, measures of volatility, and prepayment speeds. These fixed maturities are classified within Level 2. Fixed maturities with significant pricing inputs which are unobservable are classified within Level 3.

Equity Securities

Equity securities are comprised of common stock and are classified within Level 1, as fair values are based on quoted market prices.

Short-term Investments

Short-term investments are comprised of securities due to mature within one year of the date of purchase that are traded in active markets and are classified within Level 1, as fair values are based on quoted market prices. Securities such as commercial paper and discount notes are classified within Level 2 because these securities are typically not actively traded due to their short maturities and, as such, their cost generally approximates fair value.

JOHN HANCOCK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY (U.S.A.)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

Note 14 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments - (continued)

Derivatives

The fair value of derivatives is determined through the use of quoted market prices for exchange-traded derivatives or through the use of pricing models for over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives. The pricing models used are based on market standard valuation methodologies, and the inputs to these models are consistent with what a market participant would use when pricing the instruments. Derivative valuations can be affected by changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates, financial indices, credit spreads, default risk (including the counterparties to the contract), and volatility. The Company’s derivatives are generally classified within Level 2 given the significant inputs to the pricing models for most OTC derivatives are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Inputs that are observable generally include interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rate curves; however, certain OTC derivatives may rely on inputs that are significant to the fair value, but are unobservable in the market or cannot be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data and would be classified within Level 3. Inputs that are unobservable generally include broker quotes, volatilities, and inputs that are outside of the observable portion of the interest rate curve or other relevant market measures. These unobservable inputs may involve significant management judgment or estimation.

Even though unobservable, these inputs are based on assumptions deemed appropriate given the circumstances and consistent with what market participants would use when pricing such instruments. The credit risk of both the counterparty and the Company are considered in determining the fair value for all OTC derivatives after taking into account the effects of netting agreements and collateral arrangements.

Embedded Derivatives

As defined in ASC 815, the Company holds assets and liabilities classified as embedded derivatives on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These assets include guaranteed minimum income benefits that are ceded under modified coinsurance reinsurance arrangements (“Reinsurance GMIB Assets”). Liabilities include policyholder benefits offered under variable annuity contracts such as guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits with a term certain (“GMWB”) and embedded reinsurance derivatives.

Embedded derivatives are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value, separately from their host contract, and the change in their fair value is reflected in net income. Many factors including, but not limited to, market conditions, credit ratings, variations in actuarial assumptions regarding policyholder liabilities, and risk margins related to non-capital market inputs may result in significant fluctuations in the fair value of these embedded derivatives that could materially affect net income.

The fair value of embedded derivatives is estimated as the present value of future benefits less the present value of future fees. The fair value calculation includes assumptions for risk margins including nonperformance risk.

Risk margins are established to capture the risks of the instrument which represent the additional compensation a market participant would require to assume the risks related to the uncertainties of such actuarial assumptions as annuitization, persistency, partial withdrawal, and surrenders. The establishment of these actuarial assumptions, risk margins, nonperformance risk, and other inputs requires the use of significant judgment.

Nonperformance risk refers to the risk that the obligation will not be fulfilled and affects the value of the liability. The fair value measurement assumes that the nonperformance risk is the same before and after the transfer; therefore, fair value reflects the reporting entity’s own credit risk.

Nonperformance risk for liabilities held by the Company is based on MFC’s own credit risk, which is determined by taking into consideration publicly available information relating to MFC’s debt, as well as its claims paying ability. Nonperformance risk is also reflected in the Reinsurance GMIB Assets held by the Company. The credit risk of the reinsurance companies is most representative of the nonperformance risk for the Reinsurance GMIB Assets and is derived from publicly available information relating to the reinsurance companies’ publicly issued debt.

The fair value of embedded derivatives related to reinsurance agreements is determined based on a total return swap methodology. These total return swaps are reflected as assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets representing the difference between the statutory book value and fair value of the related modified coinsurance assets with ongoing changes in fair value recorded in net realized investment and other gains (losses). The fair value of the underlying assets is based on the valuation approach for similar assets described herein.

Note 14 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments - (continued)

Separate Account Assets

Separate account assets are reported at fair value and reported as a summarized total on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in accordance with SOP No. 03-1, “Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Nontraditional Long-Duration Contracts and for Separate Accounts,” which is now incorporated into ASC 944. The fair value of separate account assets is based on the fair value of the underlying assets owned by the separate account. Assets owned by the Company’s separate accounts primarily include investments in mutual funds, fixed maturity securities, equity securities, real estate, short-term investments, and cash and cash equivalents.

The fair value of mutual fund investments is based upon quoted market prices or reported net asset values. Open-ended mutual fund investments that are traded in an active market and have a publicly available price are included in Level 1. The fair values of fixed maturity securities, equity securities, short-term investments, and cash equivalents held by separate accounts are determined on a basis consistent with the methodologies described herein for similar financial instruments held within the Company’s general account.

Separate account assets classified as Level 3 consist primarily of debt and equity investments in private companies, which own real estate and carry it at fair value. The values of the real estate investments are estimated using generally accepted valuation techniques. A comprehensive appraisal is performed shortly after initial purchase of properties and at two or three-year intervals thereafter, depending on the property. Appraisal updates are conducted according to client contracts, generally at one-year or six-month intervals. In the quarters in which an investment is not independently appraised or its valuation updated, the market value is reviewed by management. The valuation of a real estate investment is adjusted only if there has been a significant change in economic circumstances related to the investment since acquisition or the most recent independent valuation and upon the independent appraiser’s review and concurrence with management. Further, these valuations are prepared giving consideration to the income, cost, and sales comparison approaches of estimating property value. These real estate investments are classified as Level 3 by the companies owning them. The equity investments in these companies are considered to be Level 3 by the Company.

Note 14 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments - (continued)

The Company may hedge positions with offsetting positions that are classified in a different level. For example, the gains and losses for assets and liabilities in the Level 3 category presented in the tables above may not reflect the effect of offsetting gains and losses on hedging instruments that have been classified by the Company in the Level 1 and Level 2 categories.

The transfers into Level 3 primarily result from securities that were impaired during the year or securities where a lack of observable market data (versus the previous year) resulted in reclassifying assets into Level 3. The transfers out of Level 3 primarily result from observable market data becoming available for that asset, thus eliminating the need to extrapolate market data beyond observable points.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets are reported at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, including investments such as mortgage loans, joint ventures, and limited partnership interests, and goodwill, which are reported at fair value only in the period in which an impairment is recognized. The fair value is calculated using either models that are widely accepted in the financial services industry or the valuation of collateral underlying impaired mortgages. The Company recorded a goodwill impairment of $1,600 million during the year ended December 31, 2010, and the fair value measurement was classified as Level 3. For additional information regarding the impairment, see Note 15 — Goodwill, Value of Business Acquired, and Other Intangible Assets.

Note 15 — Goodwill, Value of Business Acquired, and Other Intangible Assets

The changes in the carrying value of goodwill by segment were as follows:

	Insurance			Wealth Management		Corporate and Other		Total
	(in millions)
Balance at January 1, 2010	$	1,600		$	1,307	$	146	$	3,053
Impairment		(1,600	)		-		-		(1,600	)
Balance at December 31, 2010	$	-		$	1,307	$	146	$	1,453

	Insurance		Wealth Management		Corporate and Other		Total
	(in millions)
Balance at January 1, 2009	$	1,600	$	1,307	$	146	$	3,053
Impairment		-		-		-		-
Balance at December 31, 2009	$	1,600	$	1,307	$	146	$	3,053

The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually as of December 31 and more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment, below its carrying amount. In 2010, the Company impaired the entire $1,600 million of goodwill associated with the Insurance segment. The impairment was reflective of the decrease in the expected future earnings for this business. The fair value was determined primarily using an earnings-based approach, which incorporated the segment’s in-force and new business embedded value using internal forecasts of revenue and expense. There were no impairments recorded in 2009, and there were no accumulated impairment losses at December 31, 2009.

Note 16 — Certain Separate Accounts

The Company issues variable annuity and variable life contracts through its separate accounts for which investment income and investment gains and losses accrue to, and investment risk is borne by, the contract holder. Most contracts contain certain guarantees, which are discussed more fully below.

The assets supporting the variable portion of variable annuities are carried at fair value and reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as separate account assets with an equivalent amount reported for separate account liabilities. Amounts assessed against the contract holders for mortality, administrative, and other services are included in revenue, and changes in liabilities for minimum guarantees are included in benefits to policyholders in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, there were no gains or losses on transfers of assets from the general account to the separate account.

The deposits related to the variable life insurance contracts are invested in separate accounts, and the Company guarantees a specified death benefit on certain policies if specified premiums on these policies are paid by the policyholder, regardless of separate account performance.

The following table reflects variable life insurance contracts with guarantees held by the Company:

	December 31,
	2010		2009
	(in millions, except for age)
Life insurance contracts with guaranteed benefits
In the event of death
Account value	$	7,648	$	6,969
Net amount at risk related to deposits		156		208
Average attained age of contract holders		51		50

Many of the variable annuity contracts issued by the Company offer various guaranteed minimum death, income, and/or withdrawal benefits. Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit (“GMDB”) features guarantee the contract holder either (a) a return of no less than total deposits made to the contract less any partial withdrawals; (b) total deposits made to the contract less any partial withdrawals plus a minimum return; (c) the highest contract value on a specified anniversary date minus any withdrawals following the contract anniversary, or (d) a combination of (b) and (c) above.

Contracts with Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (“GMIB”) riders provide a guaranteed lifetime annuity, which may be elected by the contract holder after a stipulated waiting period (7 to 15 years), and which may be larger than what the contract account balance would purchase at then-current annuity purchase rates.

Multiple variations of an optional Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (“GMWB”) rider have also been offered by the Company. The GMWB rider provides contract holders a guaranteed annual withdrawal amount over a specified time period or in some cases for as long as they live. In general, guaranteed annual withdrawal amounts are based on deposits and may be reduced if withdrawals exceed allowed amounts. Guaranteed amounts may also be increased as a result of “step-up” provisions, which increase the benefit base to higher account values at specified intervals. Guaranteed amounts may also be increased if withdrawals are deferred over a specified period. In addition, certain versions of the GMWB rider extend lifetime guarantees to spouses.

Unaffiliated and affiliated reinsurance has been utilized to mitigate risk related to some of the guarantee benefit riders. Hedging has also been utilized to mitigate risk related to some of the GMWB riders.

For GMDB, the net amount at risk is defined as the current guaranteed minimum death benefit in excess of the current account balance. For GMIB, the net amount at risk is defined as the excess of the current annuitization income base over the current account value. For GMWB, the net amount at risk is defined as the current guaranteed withdrawal amount minus the current account value. For all the guarantees, the net amount at risk is floored at zero at the single contract level.

The Company had the following variable annuity contracts with guarantees. Amounts at risk are shown net of reinsurance. Note that the Company’s variable annuity contracts with guarantees may offer more than one type of guarantee in each contract; therefore, the amounts listed are not mutually exclusive.

The GMDB gross and ceded reserves, the GMIB gross reserves, and the life contingent portion of the GMWB reserves were determined in accordance with ASC 944, and the GMIB reinsurance recoverable and non-life contingent GMWB gross reserve were determined in accordance with ASC 815.

The Company regularly evaluates estimates used and adjusts the additional liability balance, with a related charge or credit to benefits to policyholders, if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised.

The following assumptions and methodology were used to determine the amounts above at December 31, 2010 and 2009:

• Data used included 1,000 stochastically generated investment performance scenarios. For ASC 815 calculations, risk neutral scenarios were used.

• For life products, reserves were established using stochastic modeling of future separate account returns and best estimate mortality, lapse, and premium persistency assumptions, which vary by product.

• Mean return and volatility assumptions were determined by asset class. Market consistent observed volatilities were used where available for ASC 815 calculations.

• Annuity mortality was based on the 1994 MGDB table multiplied by factors varied by rider types (living benefit/GMDB only) and qualified and non-qualified business.

• Annuity base lapse rates vary by contract type, commission type, and by with or without living benefit or death benefit riders. The lapse rates range from 0.8% to 41.5% for GMDB and 0.3% to 41.5% for GMIB and GMWB.

• The discount rates used in the ASC 944 calculations range from 6.4% to 7%. The discount rates used in the ASC 815 calculations were based on the term structure of swap curves with a credit spread based on the credit standing of MFC (for GMWB) and the reinsurers (for GMIB).

Note 18 — Share-Based Payments

The Company participates in the stock compensation plans of MFC and uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the value of stock options granted to employees. The stock-based compensation is a legal obligation of MFC, but in accordance with U.S. GAAP, is recorded in the accounts of the Company in other operating costs and expenses.

Stock Options (ESOP)

Under MFC’s Executive Stock Option Plan (“ESOP”), stock options are granted to selected individuals. Options provide the holder with the right to purchase common shares at an exercise price equal to the higher of the prior day or prior five-day average closing market price of MFC’s common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on the date the options were granted. The options vest over a period not exceeding four years and expire not more than 10 years from the grant date. A total of 73.6 million common shares have been reserved for issuance under the ESOP.

MFC grants Deferred Share Units (“DSUs”) to certain employees under the ESOP. These DSUs vest over a three-year period, and each DSU entitles the holder to receive one common share on retirement or termination of employment. When dividends are paid on MFC’s common shares, holders of DSUs are deemed to receive dividends at the same rate, payable in the form of additional DSUs.

In addition, for certain new employees and pursuant to the deferred compensation program, MFC grants DSUs under the ESOP, which entitle the holder to receive cash payment equal to the value of the same number of common shares plus credited dividends on retirement or termination of employment. In 2010, 17,000 DSUs were issued to certain new hires, which vest over a maximum period of five years. No such DSUs were issued in 2009 or 2008.

In 2010, 2009, and 2008, 35,000, 56,000, and 217,000 DSUs, respectively, were issued to certain employees who elected to defer receipt of all or part of their annual bonus. These DSUs vested immediately upon grant. Also, in 2010 and 2008, 20,000 and 269,000 DSUs were issued to certain employees who elected to defer payment of all or part of their restricted share units and/or performance share units. In 2009, no DSUs were granted to certain employees to defer payment of all or part of their restricted share units since the restricted share units scheduled to vest in 2009 did so without any payment value. Restricted share units and performance share units are discussed below. These DSUs also vested immediately upon grant.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

Note 18 — Share-Based Payments - (continued)

Under the Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors, each eligible director may elect to receive his or her annual director’s retainer and fees in DSUs or common shares in lieu of cash. Upon termination of board service, an eligible director who has elected to receive DSUs will be entitled to receive cash equal to the value of the DSUs accumulated in his or her account or, at his or her direction, an equivalent number of common shares. A total of one million common shares of MFC have been reserved for issuance under the Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors.

The Company recorded compensation expense for stock options granted of $8 million, $9 million, and $9 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

Global Share Ownership Plan (GSOP)

Effective January 1, 2001, MFC established the Global Share Ownership Plan (“GSOP”) for its eligible employees. Under the GSOP, qualifying employees can choose to apply up to 5% of their annual base earnings toward the purchase of common shares of MFC. MFC matches a percentage of the employee’s eligible contributions up to a maximum amount. MFC’s contributions vest immediately. All contributions are used by the GSOP’s trustee to purchase common shares in the open market. The Company’s compensation expense related to the GSOP was $1 million for each of the three years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008.

Restricted Share Unit Plan (RSU)

In 2003, MFC established the Restricted Share Unit (“RSU”) Plan. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, 3.0 million, 3.8 million, and 1.8 million RSUs, respectively, were granted to certain eligible employees under this plan. For the year ended December 31, 2009, 0.6 million Special RSUs and for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, 0.7 million and 1.5 million Performance Share Units (“PSUs”), respectively, were granted to eligible employees under this plan. There were no Special RSUs granted in 2010, and no Special RSUs or PSUs granted in 2008. Each RSU/Special RSU/PSU entitles the recipient to receive payment equal to the market value of one common share, plus credited dividends, at the time of vesting, subject to any performance conditions.

For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, the Company granted 1.4 million, 2.0 million, and 0.7 million RSUs, respectively, to certain eligible employees. RSUs granted in 2010 vest 25% on the first anniversary and 75% on the date that is 34 months from the grant date. RSUs granted in 2009 vest 25% on the first anniversary, 25% on the second anniversary, and 50% on the date that is 34 months from the grant date. RSUs granted prior to 2009 vest three years from the grant date. The related compensation expense is recognized over this period, except where the employee is eligible to retire prior to the vesting date, in which case the cost is recognized over the period between the grant date and the date on which the employee is eligible to retire. The Company’s compensation expense related to RSUs was $22 million, $14 million, and $24 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company granted 0.3 million Special RSUs to certain eligible employees. Special RSUs vest on the date that is 22 months from the grant date, and the related compensation expense is recognized over this period, except where the employee is eligible to retire prior to the vesting date, in which case the cost is recognized over the period between the grant date and the date on which the employee is eligible to retire. No Special RSUs were granted in 2010 or 2008. The Company’s compensation expense related to Special RSUs was $2 million for each of the two years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company granted 0.2 million and 0.4 million PSUs, respectively, to certain eligible employees. PSUs granted in 2010 vest 25% on the first anniversary and 75% on the date that is 34 months from the grant date. PSUs granted in 2009 vest 25% on the first anniversary, 25% on the second anniversary, and 50% on the date that is 34 months from the grant date. Both grants are subject to performance conditions that are equally weighted over their respective performance periods, and the related compensation expense is recognized over these periods, except where the employee is eligible to retire prior to the vesting date, in which case the cost is recognized over the period between the grant date and the date on which the employee is eligible to retire.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and contract owners’ equity of John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) Separate Account N (the “Account”), comprised of the active sub-accounts as of December 31, 2010, and the related statements of operations and changes in contract owners’ equity of the active and closed sub-accounts for each of the two years in the period then ended (or years since inception), and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended (or years since inception). These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Account’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 Account’s 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 Account’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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian or fund manager of the underlying portfolios. 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 each of the active sub-accounts constituting John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) Separate Account N at December 31, 2010, and the results of its operations and changes in contract owners’ equity of the active and closed sub-accounts for each of the two years in the period then ended (or years since inception), and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended (or years since inception), in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) Separate Account N (the “Account”) is a separate account administered and sponsored by John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) (“JHUSA” or the “Company”). The Account operates as a Unit Investment Trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”) and has 126 active investment sub-accounts that invest in shares of a particular John Hancock Trust (the “Trust”) portfolio and 1 sub-account that invests in shares of other outside investment trusts as of December 31, 2010. The Trust is registered under the Act as an open-end management investment company, commonly known as a mutual fund, which does not transact with the general public. Instead, the Trust deals primarily with insurance companies by providing the investment medium for variable contracts. The Account is a funding vehicle for the allocation of net premiums under variable universal life insurance contracts (the “Contracts”) issued by the Company.

The Company is a stock life insurance company incorporated under the laws of Michigan in 1979. The Company is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Manulife Financial Corporation (“MFC”), a Canadian based publicly traded life insurance company.

The Company is required to maintain assets in the Account with a total fair value at least equal to the reserves and other liabilities relating to the variable benefits under all Contracts participating in the Account. These assets may not be charged with liabilities which arise from any other business the Company conducts. However, all obligations under the Contracts are general corporate obligations of the Company.

Additional assets are held in the Company’s general account to cover the contingency that the guaranteed minimum death benefit might exceed the death benefit which would have been payable in the absence of such guarantee.

Each sub-account that invests in Portfolios of the John Hancock Trust may offer two classes of units to fund the Contracts issued by the Company. These classes, Series 1 and Series 0 represent an interest in the same Trust portfolio but in different share classes of that portfolio. Series 1 represents interests in Series 1 shares of the portfolio and Series 0 represents interests in Series NAV shares of the Trust’s portfolio. Series 1 and Series NAV shares differ in the level of 12b-1 fees and other expenses assessed against the portfolio’s assets.

As the result of portfolio changes, the following sub-account of the Account was renamed as follows:

Previous Name	New Name	Effective Date
Strategic Income Trust	Strategic Income Opportunities Trust	May 3, 2010

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Investments of each sub-account consist of shares in the respective portfolios of the Trust. These shares are carried at fair value which is calculated using the fair value of the investment securities underlying each Trust portfolio. Transactions are recorded on the trade date. Income from dividends is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are computed on the basis of the specifically identified cost of the investment sold.

In addition to the Account, a contract holder may also allocate funds to the fixed account contained within the Company’s general account. Because of exemptive and exclusionary provisions, interests in the fixed account have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Company’s general account has not been registered as an investment company under the Act. Net interfund transfers include interfund transfers between separate and general accounts.

FAS 157 - Fair Value Measurements, which was adopted effective January 1, 2008, is now incorporated into ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure (“ASC 820”). This guidance provides a single definition of fair value for accounting purposes, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; that is, an exit value. An exit value is not a forced liquidation or distressed sale. Assets not measured at fair value are excluded from ASC 820 note disclosure, including Policy Loans which are held to maturity and accounted for at cost.

78

John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) Separate Account N

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Following ASC 820 guidance, the Account has categorized its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used by the Account’s valuation techniques. A level is assigned to each fair value measurement based on the lowest level input significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

• Level 1 – Fair value measurements that reflect unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Account has the ability to access at the measurement date.

• Level 2 – Fair value measurements using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

• Level 3 – Fair value measurements using significant non-market observable inputs.

Assets owned by the Account are primarily open-ended mutual fund investments issued by the Trust. These are classified within Level 1, as fair values of the underlying funds are based upon reported net asset values (“NAV”), which represent the values at which each sub-account can redeem its investments.

The following table presents the Account’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by ASC 820 fair value hierarchy level, as of December 31, 2010.

	Mutual Funds
Level 1	$	651,045,685
Level 2		—
Level 3		—
	$	651,045,685

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 herein. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. Mortality and Expense Risks Charge

The Company deducts from the assets of the Account a daily charge equivalent to annual rates between 0% and 0.70% of the average net value of the Account’s assets for the assumption of mortality and expense risks.

4. Contract Charges

The Company deducts certain charges from gross premiums before placing the remaining net premiums in the sub-account. In the event of a surrender by the contract holder, surrender charges may be levied by the Company against the contract value at the time of termination to cover sales and administrative expenses associated with underwriting and issuing the Contract. Additionally, each month a deduction consisting of an administration charge, a charge for cost of insurance and charges for supplementary benefits is deducted from the contract value. Contract charges are paid through the redemption of sub-account units and are reflected as terminations.

5. Federal Income Taxes

The Account does not file separate tax returns. The taxable income of the Account is consolidated with that of the Company within the consolidated federal tax return. Any tax contingencies arising from the taxable income generated by the Account is the responsibility of the Company and the Company holds any and all tax contingencies on its financial statements. The Account is not a party to the consolidated tax sharing agreement thus no amount of income taxes or tax contingencies are passed through to the Account. The legal form of the Account is not taxable in any state or foreign jurisdictions.

The Income Taxes topic of the FASB Accounting Standard Codification establishes a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of positions taken, or expected to be taken, in filing tax returns (including whether the Account is taxable in certain jurisdictions). The topic requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing John Hancock’s tax returns to determine whether tax positions are “more-likely-than not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed to meet more-than likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as tax expense.

The Account complies with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. As of December 31, 2010, the Account did not have a liability for any uncertain tax positions. The Account recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations.

7. Transaction with Affiliates

John Hancock Distributors LLC, a registered broker-dealer and wholly owned subsidiary of JHUSA, acts as the principal underwriter of the Contracts pursuant to a distribution agreement with the Company. Contracts are sold by registered representatives of either John Hancock Distributors LLC or other broker-dealers having distribution agreements with John Hancock Distributors LLC who are also authorized as variable life insurance agents under applicable state insurance laws. Registered representatives are compensated on a commission basis.

JHUSA has a formal service agreement with its ultimate parent company, MFC, which can be terminated by either party upon two months’ notice. Under this agreement, JHUSA pays for legal, actuarial, investment and certain other administrative services.

The majority of the investments held by the Account are invested in the Trust (Note 1).

Mortality and expense risks charge, as described in Note 3, are paid to JHUSA.

8. Diversification Requirements

The Internal Revenue Service has issued regulations under Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the provisions of Section 817(h) of the Code, a variable life contract will not be treated as a life contract for federal tax purposes for any period for which the investments of the Separate Account on which the contract is based are not adequately diversified. The Code provides that the “adequately diversified” requirement may be met if the underlying investments satisfy either a statutory safe harbour test or diversification requirements set forth in regulations issued by the Secretary of Treasury. The Company believes that the Account satisfies the current requirements of the regulations, and it intends that the Account will continue to meet such requirements.

9. Subsequent Events

In accordance with the provision set forth in ASC 855 “Subsequent Events” (“ASC 855”) formerly known as FAS 165 “Subsequent Events”, Management has evaluated the possibility of subsequent events existing in the Account’s financial statements through March 31, 2011 and has determined that no events have occurred that require additional disclosure.

John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) Separate Account N

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

The Account is a funding vehicle for a number of variable universal life insurance products which have unique combinations of features and fees that are charged against the contract owner’s account balance. Differences in the fee structures result in a variety of unit values, expense ratios and total returns.

The preceding table was developed by determining which products offered by the Company have the lowest and highest total return. Only product designs within each sub-account that had units outstanding during the period were considered when determining the lowest and highest total return. The summary may not reflect the minimum and maximum mortality and expense risk charge offered by the Company as contract owners may not have selected all available and applicable contract options as discussed in Notes 3 and 4.

(*) These ratios, which are not annualized, represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the sub-account from the underlying Trust portfolio, net of management fees assessed by the Trust portfolio adviser, divided by the average net assets of the sub-account. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense risk charges, that result in direct reductions in unit values. The recognition of investment income by the sub-account is affected by the timing of the declarations of dividends by the underlying Trust portfolio in which the sub-accounts invest. It is the practice of the Trusts, for income tax reasons, to declare dividends in April for investment income received in the previous calendar year for all sub-accounts of the Trusts except for the Money Market Trust which declares and reinvests dividends on a daily basis. Any dividend distribution received from a sub-account of the Trusts is reinvested immediately, at the net asset value, in shares of that sub-account and retained as assets of the corresponding sub-account so that the unit value of the sub-account is not affected by the declaration and reinvestment of dividends.

(**) These ratios represent the annualized contract expenses of the separate account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense risk charges, for the period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction in unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying Trust portfolio are excluded.

(***) These ratios, which are not annualized, represent the total return for the period indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying Trust portfolio, and reflect deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units; inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented.

Item 29. Indemnification

The Form of Selling Agreement or Service Agreement between John Hancock Distributors LLC (“JH Distributors”) and various broker-dealers may provide that the selling broker-dealer indemnify and hold harmless JH Distributors and the Company, including their affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents against losses, claims, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), arising out of or based upon a breach of the Selling or Service Agreement, or any applicable law or regulation or any applicable rule of any self-regulatory organization or similar provision consistent with industry practice.

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Market timing and disruptive trading risks

The policy is not designed for professional market timers or highly active traders, including persons or entities that engage in programmed, large or frequent transfers among the investment accounts or between the investment accounts and any available fixed account. The policy is also not designed to accommodate trading that results in transfers that are large in relation to the total assets of the underlying portfolio.

Variable investment accounts in variable life insurance products can be a prime target for abusive transfer activity because these products value their investment accounts on a daily basis and allow transfers among investment accounts without immediate tax consequences. As a result, some investors may seek to frequently transfer into and out of investment accounts or to make large transfers in reaction to market news or to exploit a perceived pricing inefficiency. Whatever the reason, long-term investors in an investment account can be harmed by large or frequent transfer activity. For example, such activity may expose the investment account’s underlying portfolio to increased portfolio transaction costs and/or disrupt the portfolio manager’s ability to effectively manage the portfolio’s investments in accordance with the portfolio’s investment objectives and policies. This could include causing the portfolio to maintain higher levels of cash than would otherwise be the case, or liquidating investments prematurely. Accordingly, frequent or large transfers may result in dilution with respect to interests held for long-term investment and adversely affect policy owners, beneficiaries and the underlying portfolios.

To discourage market timing and disruptive trading activity, we impose restrictions on transfers and reserve the right to change, suspend or terminate telephone, facsimile and internet transaction privileges. In addition, we reserve the right to take other actions at any time to restrict trading, including, but not limited to:

(i) restricting the number of transfers made during a defined period,

(ii) restricting the dollar amount of transfers,

(iii) restricting transfers into and out of certain investment accounts,

(iv) restricting the method used to submit transfers, and

(v) deferring a transfer at any time we are unable to purchase or redeem shares of the underlying portfolio.

We may also impose additional administrative conditions upon, or prohibit a transfer request made by a third party giving instructions on behalf of multiple policies, whether owned by the same owner or different owners. If you engage a third party for asset allocation services, then you may be subject to these transfer restrictions because of the actions of that party in providing those services. We will notify the third party you have engaged if we exercise this right.

While we seek to identify and prevent disruptive trading activity, it may not always be possible to do so. Therefore, no assurance can be given that the restrictions we impose will be successful in preventing all disruptive trading and avoiding harm to long-term investors.

Total annual portfolio operating expenses

The following table describes the minimum and maximum portfolio level fees and expenses charged by any of the portfolios underlying a variable investment option offered through the policies, expressed as a percentage of average net assets (rounded to two decimal places). These expenses are deducted from portfolio assets. For more information, please see the prospectus for the underlying portfolio.

Total Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses	Minimum			Maximum
Range of expenses, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other expenses1		0.49	%		2.90	%

1 Certain of the portfolios’ advisers or subadvisers have contractually agreed to reimburse or waive certain portfolio level expenses. The minimum and maximum expenses shown do not reflect these contractual expense reimbursements or waivers. If such reimbursements or waivers were reflected, the minimum and maximum expenses would be 0.25% and 0.92%, respectively.

Table of Investment Options and Investment Subadvisers

Please note that certain of the investment options described in this table may not be available to you under your policy.

When you select a Separate Account investment option, we invest your money in shares of a corresponding portfolio of the John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust” or “JHVIT”) (or the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “PIMCO Trust”) or M Fund, Inc. (the “M Fund”)), and hold the shares in a subaccount of the Separate Account. Fees and expenses of the portfolios are not fixed or specified under the terms of the policies and may vary from year to year. These fees and expenses differ for each portfolio and reduce the investment return of each portfolio. Therefore, they also indirectly reduce the return you will earn on any Separate Account investment options you select. For more information, please refer to the prospectus for the underlying portfolio.

The JHVIT, the PIMCO Trust, and the M Fund are so-called “series” type mutual funds and each is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company. John Hancock Investment Management Services, LLC (“JHIMS”) provides investment advisory services to the Trust and receives investment management fees for doing so. JHIMS pays a portion of its investment management fees to other firms that manage the Trust’s portfolios. We are affiliated with JHIMS and may indirectly benefit from any investment management fees JHIMS retains. The PIMCO VIT All Asset portfolio of the PIMCO Trust receives investment advisory services from Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) and pays investment management fees to PIMCO.

Each of the American Asset Allocation, American Blue Chip Income and Growth, American Bond, American Fundamental Holdings, American Global Diversification, American Global Growth, American Global Small Capitalization, American Growth, American Growth-Income, American High-Income Bond, American International, American New World, and Core Diversified Growth & Income portfolios invests in shares of the corresponding investment portfolio of the Trust. The American Asset Allocation, American Blue Chip Income and Growth, American Bond, American Global Growth, American Global Small Capitalization, American Growth, American Growth-Income, American High-Income Bond, American International, and American New World portfolios operate as “feeder funds,” which means that the portfolios do not buy investment securities directly. Instead, they invest in a “master fund” which in turn purchases investment securities. Each of the American feeder fund portfolios has the same investment objective and limitations as its master fund. The prospectus for the American Fund master fund is included with the prospectuses for the underlying funds. We pay American Funds Distributors, Inc., the principal underwriter for the American Funds Insurance Series, a percentage of some or all of the amounts allocated to the “American” portfolios of the Trust for the marketing support services it provides.

The M Business Opportunity Value, M Capital Appreciation, M International Equity, and M Large Cap Growth portfolios are series of the M Fund, an open-end management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The assets of these subaccounts are invested in the corresponding portfolios of the M Fund. M Financial Investment Advisers, Inc. (“M Financial”) is the investment adviser for all portfolios of the M Fund. The entities shown in the table below as “Portfolio Managers” of the M Fund portfolios are sub-investment advisers selected by M Financial and are the entities that manage the portfolio’s assets.

The portfolios pay us or certain of our affiliates compensation for some of the distribution, administrative, shareholder support, marketing and other services we or our affiliates provide to the portfolios. The amount of this compensation is based on a percentage of the assets of the portfolios attributable to the variable insurance products that we and our affiliates issue. These percentages may differ from portfolio to portfolio and among classes of shares within a portfolio. In some cases, the compensation is derived from the Rule 12b-1 fees that are deducted from a portfolio’s assets for the services we or our affiliates provide to that portfolio. These compensation payments do not, however, result in any charge to you in addition to what is shown in the prospectus for the underlying portfolio.

The following table provides a general description of the portfolios that underlie the variable investment options we make available under the policy. You bear the investment risk of any portfolio you choose as an investment option for your policy. You can find a full description of each portfolio, including the investment objectives, policies, restrictions, and risks, in the prospectus for that portfolio. You should read the portfolio’s prospectus carefully before investing in the corresponding variable investment option.

The investment options in the Separate Account are not publicly traded mutual funds. The investment options are only available to you as investment options in the policies, or in some cases through other variable annuity contracts or variable life insurance policies issued by us or by other life insurance companies. In some cases, the investment options also may be

3

available through participation in certain qualified pension or retirement plans. The portfolios’ investment advisers and managers (i.e. subadvisers) may manage publicly traded mutual funds with similar names and investment objectives. However, the portfolios are not directly related to any publicly traded mutual fund. You should not compare the performance of any investment option described in this prospectus with the performance of a publicly traded mutual fund. The performance of any publicly traded mutual fund could differ substantially from that of any of the investment options of our Separate Account.

Tax considerations

This description of Federal income tax consequences is only a brief summary and is neither exhaustive nor authoritative. It was written to support the promotion of our products. It does not constitute legal or tax advice, and it is not intended to be used and cannot be used to avoid any penalties that may be imposed on you. Tax consequences will vary based on your own particular circumstances, and for further information you should consult a qualified tax adviser. Federal, state and local tax laws, regulations and interpretations can change from time to time. As a result, the tax consequences to you and the beneficiary may be altered, in some cases retroactively. The policy may be used in various arrangements, including non-qualified deferred compensation or salary continuation plans, split dollar insurance plans, executive bonus plans, retiree medical benefit plans and others. The tax consequences of such plans may vary depending on the particular facts and circumstances of each individual arrangement. Therefore, if the value of using the policy in any such arrangement depends in part on the tax consequences, a qualified tax adviser should be consulted for advice.

General

We are taxed as a life insurance company. Under current tax law rules, we include the investment income (exclusive of capital gains) of the Separate Account in our taxable income and take deductions for investment income credited to our policy holder reserves. We are also required to capitalize and amortize certain costs instead of deducting those costs when they are incurred. We do not currently charge the Separate Account for any resulting income tax costs, other than a charge we may impose against the Separate Account to compensate us for the cost of a delay in the deductibility of deferred acquisition costs (the “DAC tax” adjustment) pursuant to section 848 of the Internal Revenue Code. We also claim certain tax credits or deductions relating to foreign taxes paid and dividends received by the series funds. These benefits can be material. We do not pass these benefits through to the Separate Account, principally because: (i) the deductions and credits are allowed to us and not the policy owners under applicable tax law; and (ii) the deductions and credits do not represent investment return on the Separate Account assets that is passed through to policy owners.

The policies permit us to deduct a charge for any taxes we incur that are attributable to the operation or existence of the policies or the Separate Account. Currently, we do not anticipate making any specific charge for such taxes other than any DAC tax charge and premium taxes where applicable. If the level of the current taxes increases, however, or is expected to increase in the future, we reserve the right to make a charge in the future.

Death benefit proceeds and other policy distributions

Generally, death benefits paid under policies such as yours are not subject to income tax unless policy ownership has been transferred in exchange for payment. Earnings on your policy value are ordinarily not subject to income tax as long as we don’t pay them out to you. If we do pay out any amount of your policy value upon surrender or partial withdrawal, all or part of that distribution would generally be treated as a return of the premiums you’ve paid and not subjected to income tax. However certain distributions associated with a reduction in death benefit or other policy benefits within the first fifteen years after issuance of the policy are ordinarily taxable in whole or in part. Amounts you borrow are generally not taxable to you.

However, some of the tax rules change if your policy becomes a modified endowment contract. This can happen if you’ve paid premiums in excess of limits prescribed by the tax laws. Additional taxes and penalties may be payable for policy distributions of any kind, including loans. (See “7-pay premium limit and modified endowment contract status” below.)

We expect the policy to receive the same Federal income and estate tax treatment as fixed benefit life insurance policies. Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code defines a life insurance contract for Federal tax purposes. For a policy to be treated as a life insurance contract, it must satisfy either the cash value accumulation test or the guideline premium test. These tests limit the amount of premium that you may pay into the policy. We will monitor compliance with these standards. If we determine that a policy does not satisfy section 7702, we may take whatever steps are appropriate and reasonable to bring it into compliance with section 7702.

If the policy complies with section 7702, the death benefit proceeds under the policy ordinarily should be excludable from the beneficiary’s gross income under section 101 of the Internal Revenue Code. (As noted above, a transfer of the policy for valuable consideration may limit the exclusion of death benefits from the beneficiary’s income.) In addition, if your policy offers the Long-Term Care Rider, and if you have elected it, the rider’s benefits generally will be excludable from gross income under the Internal Revenue Code. The tax-free nature of these accelerated benefits is contingent on the rider meeting specific requirements under section 101 and/or section 7702B of the Internal Revenue Code. The rider is intended to meet these standards.

13

Increases in policy value as a result of interest or investment experience will not be subject to Federal income tax unless and until values are received through actual or deemed distributions. In general, unless the policy is a modified endowment contract, the owner will be taxed only on the amount of distributions that exceed the premiums paid under the policy. An exception to this general rule occurs in the case of a decrease in the policy’s death benefit or any other change that reduces benefits under the policy in the first fifteen years after the policy is issued and that results in a cash distribution to the policy owner. Changes that reduce benefits include partial withdrawals, death benefit option changes, and distributions required to keep the policy in compliance with section 7702. For purposes of this rule any distribution within the two years immediately before a reduction in benefits will also be treated as if it were a result of the reduction. A cash distribution that reduces policy benefits will be taxed in whole or in part (to the extent of any gain in the policy) under rules prescribed in section 7702. The taxable amount is subject to limits prescribed in section 7702(f)(7). Any taxable distribution will be ordinary income to the owner (rather than capital gain).

Distributions for tax purposes include amounts received upon surrender or partial withdrawals. You may also be deemed to have received a distribution for tax purposes if you assign all or part of your policy rights or change your policy’s ownership. If your policy offers the Long-Term Care Rider, and if you have elected it, deductions from policy value to pay the rider charges will reduce your investment in the contract, but will not be included in income even if you have recovered all of your investment in the contract.

It is possible that, despite our monitoring, a policy might fail to qualify as a life insurance contract under section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code. This could happen, for example, if we inadvertently failed to return to you any premium payments that were in excess of permitted amounts, or if any of the funds failed to meet certain investment diversification or other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. If this were to occur, you would be subject to income tax on the income credited to the policy from the date of issue to the date of the disqualification and for subsequent periods.

Tax consequences of ownership or receipt of policy proceeds under Federal, state and local estate, inheritance, gift and other tax laws will depend on the circumstances of each owner or beneficiary. If the person insured by the policy is also its owner, either directly or indirectly through an entity such as a revocable trust, the death benefit will be includible in his or her estate for purposes of the Federal estate tax. If the owner is not the person insured, the value of the policy will be includible in the owner’s estate upon his or her death. Even if ownership has been transferred, the death proceeds or the policy value may be includible in the former owner’s estate if the transfer occurred less than three years before the former owner’s death or if the former owner retained certain kinds of control over the policy. You should consult your tax adviser regarding these possible tax consequences.

Because there may be unfavorable tax consequences (including recognition of taxable income and the loss of income tax-free treatment for any death benefit payable to the beneficiary), you should consult a qualified tax adviser prior to changing the policy’s ownership or making any assignment of ownership interests.

Policy loans

We expect that, except as noted below (see “7-pay premium limit and modified endowment contract status”), loans received under the policy will be treated as indebtedness of an owner and that no part of any loan will constitute income to the owner. However, if the policy terminates for any reason other than the payment of the death benefit, the amount of any outstanding loan that was not previously considered income will be treated as if it had been distributed to the owner upon such termination. This could result in a considerable tax bill. Under certain circumstances involving large amounts of outstanding loans, you might find yourself having to choose between high premiums required to keep your policy from lapsing and a significant tax burden if you allow the lapse to occur.

Diversification rules and ownership of the Account

Your policy will not qualify for the tax benefits of a life insurance contract unless the Account follows certain rules requiring diversification of investments underlying the policy. In addition, the rules require that the policy owner not have “investor control” over the underlying assets.

In certain circumstances, the owner of a variable life insurance policy may be considered the owner, for Federal income tax purposes, of the assets of the separate account used to support the policy. In those circumstances, income and gains from the separate account assets would be includible in the policy owner’s gross income. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has stated in published rulings that a variable policy owner will be considered the owner of separate account assets if the policy owner possesses incidents of ownership in those assets, such as the ability to exercise investment control over the assets. A Treasury Decision issued in 1986 stated that guidance would be issued in the form of regulations or rulings on the “extent to

14

which Policyholders may direct their investments to particular sub-accounts of a separate account without being treated as owners of the underlying assets.” As of the date of this prospectus, no comprehensive guidance on this point has been issued. In Rev. Rul. 2003-91, however, the IRS ruled that a contract holder would not be treated as the owner of assets underlying a variable life insurance or annuity contract despite the owner’s ability to allocate funds among as many as twenty subaccounts.

The ownership rights under your policy are similar to, but different in certain respects from, those described in IRS rulings in which it was determined that policyholders were not owners of separate account assets. Since you have greater flexibility in allocating premiums and policy values than was the case in those rulings, it is possible that you would be treated as the owner of your policy’s proportionate share of the assets of the Account.

We do not know what future Treasury Department regulations or other guidance may require. We cannot guarantee that the funds will be able to operate as currently described in the series funds’ prospectuses, or that a series fund will not have to change any fund’s investment objectives or policies. We have reserved the right to modify your policy if we believe doing so will prevent you from being considered the owner of your policy’s proportionate share of the assets of the Account, but we are under no obligation to do so.

7-pay premium limit and modified endowment contract status

At the time of policy issuance, we will determine whether the Planned Premium schedule will exceed the 7-pay limit discussed below. If so, our standard procedures prohibit issuance of the policy unless you sign a form acknowledging that fact.

The 7-pay limit at any time during the first seven contract years is the total of net level premiums that would have been payable at or before that time under a comparable fixed policy that would be fully “paid-up” after the payment of seven equal annual premiums. “Paid-up” means that no further premiums would be required to continue the coverage in force until maturity, based on certain prescribed assumptions. If the total premiums paid at any time during the first seven policy years exceed the 7-pay limit, the policy will be treated as a modified endowment contract, which can have adverse tax consequences.

Policies classified as modified endowment contracts are subject to the following tax rules:

• First, all partial withdrawals from such a policy are treated as ordinary income subject to tax up to the amount equal to the excess (if any) of the policy value immediately before the withdrawal over the investment in the policy at such time. If you own any other modified endowment contracts issued to you in the same calendar year by the same insurance company or its affiliates, their values will be combined with the value of the policy from which you take the withdrawal for purposes of determining how much of the withdrawal is taxable as ordinary income.

• Second, loans taken from or secured by such a policy and assignments or pledges of any part of its value are treated as partial withdrawals from the policy and taxed accordingly. Past-due loan interest that is added to the loan amount is treated as an additional loan.

• Third, a 10% additional penalty tax is imposed on the portion of any distribution (including distributions on surrender) from, or loan taken from or secured by, such a policy that is included in income except where the distribution or loan:

• is made on or after the date on which the policy owner attains age 59 ¹/2;

• is attributable to the policy owner becoming disabled; or

• is part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments for the life (or life expectancy) of the policy owner or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the policy owner and the policy owner’s beneficiary.

These exceptions to the 10% additional tax do not apply in situations where the policy is not owned by an individual.

Furthermore, any time there is a “material change” in a policy, the policy will begin a new 7-pay testing period as if it were a newly-issued policy. The material change rules for determining whether a policy is a modified endowment contract are complex. In general, however, the determination of whether a policy will be a modified endowment contract after a material change depends upon the relationship among the death benefit of the policy at the time of such change, the policy value at the time of the change, and the additional premiums paid into the policy during the seven years starting with the date on which the material change occurs.

Moreover, if there is a reduction in benefits under a policy (such as a reduction in the death benefit or the reduction or cancellation of certain rider benefits) during a 7-pay testing period, the 7-pay limit will generally be recalculated based on the reduced benefits and the policy will be re-tested from the beginning of the 7-pay testing period using the lower limit. If the

15

premiums paid to date at any point during the 7-pay testing period are greater than the recalculated 7-pay limit, the policy will become a modified endowment contract.

If your policy is issued as a result of an exchange subject to section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code, it may be considered to be a modified endowment contract if the death benefit under the new policy is smaller than the death benefit under the exchanged policy, or if you reduce coverage in your new policy after it is issued. Therefore, if you desire to reduce the face amount as part of a 1035 exchange, a qualified tax adviser should be consulted for advice. A new policy issued in exchange for a modified endowment contract will also be a modified endowment contract regardless of any change in the death benefit.

All modified endowment contracts issued by the same insurer (or its affiliates) to the same owner during any calendar year generally are required to be treated as one contract for the purpose of applying the rules on taxation of withdrawals from modified endowment contracts. You should consult your tax adviser if you have questions regarding the possible impact of the 7-pay limit on your policy.

Corporate and H.R. 10 retirement plans

The policy may be acquired in connection with the funding of retirement plans satisfying the qualification requirements of section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code. If so, the Internal Revenue Code provisions relating to such plans and life insurance benefits thereunder should be carefully scrutinized. We are not responsible for compliance with the terms of any such plan or with the requirements of applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

Withholding

To the extent that policy distributions to you are taxable, they are generally subject to withholding for your Federal income tax liability. However if you reside in the United States, you can generally choose not to have tax withheld from distributions.

Life insurance purchases by residents of Puerto Rico

In Rev. Rul. 2004-75, 2004-31 I.R.B. 109, the Internal Revenue Service ruled that income received by residents of Puerto Rico under a life insurance policy issued by a United States company is U.S.-source income that is subject to United States Federal income tax.

Life insurance purchases by non-resident aliens

If you are not a U.S. citizen or resident, you will generally be subject to U.S. Federal withholding tax on taxable distributions from life insurance policies at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In addition, you may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and taxes imposed by your country of citizenship or residence. You should consult with a qualified tax adviser before purchasing a policy.
