APPENDIX A: DEFINITIONS
44

This prospectus does not constitute an offering in any jurisdiction in which such offering may not lawfully be made. No person is authorized to make any representations in connection with this offering other than those contained in this prospectus, the portfolios prospectuses, or the corresponding Statements of Additional Information.

The purpose of this variable life insurance policy is to provide insurance protection for the beneficiary named therein. No claim is made that this variable life insurance policy is in any way similar or comparable to a systematic investment plan of a mutual fund.

Examine this prospectus carefully. The Policy Summary will briefly describe the policy. More detailed information will be found further in the prospectus. You should rely on the information contained in this prospectus, the portfolio prospectuses, and the corresponding Statements of Additional Information, which contains the audited financial statements for John Hancock NY and Separate Account B. The portfolio prospectuses describe the investment objectives, policies and restrictions of, and the risks relating to, investment in the investment options. In the case of any of the portfolios that are operated as “feeder funds,” the prospectus for the corresponding “master fund” is also provided. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with information that is different from the information contained in the aforementioned documents.

RISKS/BENEFITS SUMMARY

Benefits

Some of the benefits of purchasing the policy are described below. Death Benefit Protection. This prospectus describes a flexible premium variable life insurance policy, which provides for a death benefit payable to the beneficiary of the policy upon the death of the insured. Variable life insurance is a flexible tool for financial and investment planning for persons needing death benefit protection. You should consider other forms of investments if death benefit protection is not one of your financial planning objectives, as there are additional costs and expenses in providing the insurance.

Access To Your Policy Values. Variable life insurance offers access to Policy Value. You may borrow against your policy, or surrender all, or a portion of your policy through a partial withdrawal. There are limitations on partial withdrawals. See “Policy Surrender and Partial Withdrawals” for further information.

Tax Deferred Accumulation. Variable life insurance has several tax advantages under current tax laws. For example, Policy Value accumulates on a tax-deferred basis and a transfer of values from one sub-account to another within the policy generates no taxable gain or loss. Any investment income and realized capital gains within a sub-account or interest from the Fixed Account are automatically reinvested without current income taxation to the policy owner.

Investment Options. In addition to the Fixed Account, the policy provides for access to a number of variable investment options, which permit you to reallocate your Policy Value to meet your changing personal objectives, goals, and investment conditions. Information regarding each investment option may be found in the portfolio prospectuses.

Flexibility. The policy is a flexible premium variable life insurance policy in which varying premium payments are permitted. You may select death benefit options and an additional policy rider. You may increase or decrease the amount of death benefit. You are able to select, monitor, and change investment choices within your policy.

Risks

Some of the risks of purchasing the policy are described below.

Fluctuating Investment Performance. Policy Value invested in a sub-account is not guaranteed and will increase and decrease according to investment performance. You assume the investment risk of Policy Value allocated to the sub-accounts. A comprehensive discussion of each sub-account’s objective and risk is found in the portfolio prospectuses. You should review these prospectuses carefully before allocating Policy Value to any sub-accounts.

Unsuitable for Short-Term Investment. The Policy is intended for long-term financial planning, and is unsuitable for short-term goals. Your policy is not designed to serve as a vehicle for frequent trading.

Policy Lapse. Sufficient premiums must be paid to keep a policy in force. There is a risk of lapse if the Policy Value is too low in relation to the insurance amount, if investment results are less favorable than anticipated or if extensive policy loans are taken. A policy lapse could have adverse tax consequences since the amount received (including any loans) less the

investment in the policy may be treated as ordinary income subject to tax. Since withdrawals reduce your Policy Value, withdrawals increase the risk of lapse.

Decreasing Death Benefit. Any outstanding policy loans and any amount that you have surrendered or withdrawn will reduce your policy’s death benefit.

Adverse Consequences of Early Surrender. There are surrender charges assessed if you surrender your policy in the first 10 years from the purchase of the policy or the effective date of a Face Amount increase. Depending on the amount of premium paid and the Policy Value at the time of surrender, there may be little or no Net Cash Surrender Value paid to you when the policy is surrendered. In addition, there are adverse consequences associated with partial withdrawals including potential policy lapse and adverse tax consequences. There may also be adverse consequences associated with full surrender of the policy.

Adverse Tax Consequences. You should always consult a tax adviser about the application of federal and state tax law to your individual situation. The federal income tax treatment of life insurance is complex and current tax treatment of life insurance may change.

FEE TABLES

The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you will pay when buying, owning, and surrendering the policy. 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 the prospectus disclosure rules. Consequently, the actual rates charged may be slightly higher or lower than those shown. The first table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay at the time that you buy the policy, surrender the policy, or transfer cash value between investment options.

1 The cost of insurance varies based on individual characteristics and the charges shown in the table may not be representative of the charge a particular policy owner will pay. A policy owner may obtain additional information regarding cost of insurance charge by contacting the Company. The election (or failure to elect) the optional FTIO rider will impact the total cost of insurance charges.

2 Currently the Company is charging the following rates:

Policy Year Annual Rate
1-10 0.50%
11+ 0.20%

3 The Loan Interest Rate (Net) is equal to the rate of interest charged on the policy loan less the interest credited to the Loan Account. Currently this rate is 0.75% for Policy Years 1-10 and 0.25% for Policy Years 11 and higher. The maximum loan rate is 4%.

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% 1.62%

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 1.52%, respectively.

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 portfolios.

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 Global Growth, American Global Small Capitalization, American Growth, American Growth-Income, American High-Income Bond, American International, American New World, Fundamental Holdings and Global Diversification 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 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 Fee Tables.

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.

POLICY SUMMARY

General

The policy is a flexible premium variable universal life insurance policy. This summary provides a general description of the important features of the policy. It is not comprehensive and is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information contained in this prospectus. Unless otherwise stated or implied by the context, the discussions in this prospectus assume that the policy has not gone into default, there is no outstanding Policy Debt and the death benefit is not determined by the

Minimum Death Benefit percentage. The policy’s provisions may vary in some states. The terms of the policy and any endorsements or riders will supersede the disclosure in this prospectus.

Death Benefits

The policy provides a death benefit in the event of the death of the Life Insured while the policy is in force. The basic death benefit amount is the Face Amount, which is provided for the lifetime of the Life Insured with no maturity or expiration date. There may be other amounts added to the death benefit as described below.

Flexible Term Insurance Option. You may add a flexible term insurance option rider (the “FTIO Rider”) to the policy to provide additional term life insurance coverage on the Life Insured. Cost of insurance rates are less than or equal to those of the policy and no Sales Loads or surrender charge will apply. However, unlike the Face Amount of the policy, the FTIO Rider will terminate at the Life Insured’s Attained Age 100. The FTIO Rider also offers the flexibility to schedule varying death benefit amounts on future dates (the “Scheduled Death Benefits”).

Death Benefit Options. There are two death benefit Options. Option 1 provides a death benefit equal to the Face Amount of the policy and the Scheduled Death Benefits of the FTIO Rider or, if greater, the Minimum Death Benefit. Option 2 provides a death benefit equal to the Face Amount and the Scheduled Death Benefits, plus the Policy Value or, if greater, the Minimum Death Benefit. You may change the death benefit Option and increase or decrease the Face Amount and Scheduled Death Benefits.

Age 100 Advantage. If the Life Insured is alive on the Policy Anniversary when the Life Insured reaches Attained Age 100, the policy will continue in force subject to the following unless the policy owner chooses to surrender the policy for its Net Cash Surrender Value:

  • the policy will be continued until the earlier of the death of the Life Insured or the date the policy owner surrenders the policy;
  • no additional premium payments will be accepted although loan repayments will be accepted;
  • no additional charges or deductions (described under “Charges and Deductions”) will be assessed;
  • interest on any Policy Debt will continue to accrue;
  • the policy owner may continue to transfer portions of the Policy Value among the Investment Accounts and the Fixed Accounts as described in this prospectus.

Premiums

Premium payments may be made at any time prior to Attained Age 100 and in any amount, subject to certain limitations (see “Premium Payments—Premium Limitations”). Net Premiums will be allocated to one or more of the Fixed Account and the sub-accounts of the Separate Account. You may change allocations and make transfers among the accounts subject to limitations described below.

Policy Value

The Policy Value is the accumulation of premiums paid, less charges and deductions we take for expenses and cost of insurance, plus or minus the investment returns of the accounts to which the Policy Value has been allocated. You may obtain a portion of the Policy Value by taking a policy loan or a partial withdrawal or by full surrender of the policy.

Policy Loans

You may borrow against the Net Cash Surrender Value of the policy. Loan interest will accrue daily and be payable in arrears on each Policy Anniversary. The Policy Debt will be deducted from amounts payable at the Life Insured’s death or upon surrender.

Surrender and Partial Withdrawals

You may make a partial withdrawal of Policy Value. It may result in a decrease in the Face Amount and Scheduled Death Benefits and assessment of a portion of the surrender charge. You may surrender the policy for its Net Cash Surrender Value at any time.

Lapse and Reinstatement

A policy will lapse and terminate without value when the Net Cash Surrender Value is insufficient to pay the next monthly deduction and a grace period of 61 days expires without an adequate premium payment from you. You may reinstate a lapsed policy within five years following lapse if the policy was not surrendered for its Net Cash Surrender Value. Evidence of insurability is required, along with a premium payment described under “Reinstatement.”

The policy differs in two important ways from a conventional life insurance policy. First, failure to make planned premium payments will not itself cause the policy to lapse. Second, the policy can lapse even if planned premiums have been paid.

Charges and Deductions

We assess charges and deductions in connection with the policy, in the form of monthly deductions for the cost of insurance and administrative expenses, charges assessed daily against amounts in the Investment Accounts and loads deducted from premiums paid.

For more information, please refer to the prospectus for the underlying portfolio.

Sales Load or Surrender Charge. You may choose Coverage Amounts with one of two alternative charge structures representing different ways to cover a portion of our marketing and distribution costs. Generally, policy benefits will be approximately equal in present value under either alternative. However, there is no guarantee each alternative will perform the same in all circumstances. Therefore, you should obtain individualized illustrations for both charge structures.

Sales Load coverage features a load deducted immediately from premiums paid and no surrender charge. Surrender Charge coverage features no added sales load with surrender charges assessed upon early surrender, lapse, partial withdrawal or coverage decrease. Current cost of insurance charges in early years are higher for Surrender Charge coverage.

Reduction in Charges and Enhancement of Surrender Values. The policy is designed for employers and other sponsoring organizations that may purchases multiple policies as a Case. The size or nature of the Case may result in expected savings of sales, underwriting, administrative or other costs. If so, we may offer reductions of policy charges and enhancements of surrender value. We may change the nature and amount of reductions and enhancements available from time to time. They will be determined in a way that is not unfairly discriminatory to policyholders.

Investment Options and Investment Subadvisers

You may allocate Net Premiums to the Fixed Account or to one or more of the sub-accounts of the Separate Account. Each of the sub-accounts invests in the shares of one of the portfolios described in the Table of Investment Options and Investment Subadvisers.

The portfolios also employ subadvisers. The Table of Investment Options and Investment Subadvisers shows the subadvisers that provide investment subadvisory services to the indicated portfolios.

Allocating Net Premiums only to one or a small number of the investment options (other than the Lifestyle Trusts) should not be considered a balanced investment strategy. In particular, allocating Net Premiums to a small number of investment options that concentrate their investments in a particular business or market sector will increase the risk that the value of your policy will be more volatile since these investment options may react similarly to business or market specific events. Examples of business or market sectors where this risk historically has been and may continue to be particularly high include: (a) technology related businesses, including internet related businesses, (b) small cap securities and © foreign securities. The Company does not provide advice regarding appropriate investment allocations. Please discuss this matter with your financial adviser.

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.

ISSUING A POLICY

Use of the Policy

The policy is designed to provide employers or other organizations with life insurance coverage on employees or other individuals in whose lives they have an insurable interest. The policy may be owned by an individual or a corporation, trust, association, or similar entity. The policy may be used for such purposes as funding non-qualified executive deferred compensation or salary continuation liabilities or death benefit liabilities of executive retirement plans, or as a source for funding cash flow obligations under such plans.

Requirements

To purchase a policy, an applicant must submit a completed application. A policy will not be issued until the underwriting process is completed to our satisfaction and we approve issuance of the policy.

Policies may be issued on a basis that does not distinguish between the Life Insured’s sex and/or smoking status, with prior approval from us. A policy will only be issued on the lives of insureds from Issue Ages 20 through 80. Each policy has a Policy Date, an Effective Date and an Issue Date. The Policy Date is the date from which the first monthly deductions are calculated and from which Policy Years, Policy Months and Policy Anniversaries are measured. The Policy Date is also the effective date of the initial Coverage Amount. The Policy Date is the same date as the Effective Date unless the policy is backdated (see “Backdating a Policy”). The Effective Date is the date we become obligated under the policy and when the first monthly deductions are taken. It is the later of the date we approve issuance of the policy and the date we receive at least the Minimum Initial Premium. The Issue Date is the date from which the Suicide and Incontestability provisions of the policy are measured.

If we approve issuance of a policy before we receive the Minimum Initial Premium then the Effective Date will be later than the Issue Date. The Minimum Initial Premium must be received by us within 60 days after the Issue Date and the Life

Insured must be in good health on the Effective Date. If the Minimum Initial Premium is not paid or if the application is rejected, the policy will be canceled and any premiums paid will be returned to the applicant.

Net Premiums received prior to the Effective Date will be credited with interest at the rate of return earned on amounts allocated to the Money Market portfolio. On the Effective Date, Net Premiums received plus any interest credited will be allocated to Investment Accounts and the Fixed Account according to your instructions, unless first allocated to the Money Market Trust for the duration of the right to examine period (see “Right to Examine the Policy”).

Minimum Face Amount and Scheduled Death Benefit. The minimum Face Amount is $50,000 unless the FTIO Rider is added to the policy. With an FTIO Rider, the minimum Face Amount is $25,000 and the minimum Scheduled Death Benefit is $50,000 at all times.

Backdating a Policy. You may request that we backdate the policy by assigning a Policy Date earlier than the date the application is signed. We will not backdate the policy to a date earlier than that allowed by state law, which is generally three months to one year prior to the date of application for the policy. Monthly deductions will be made for the period the Policy Date is backdated.

Temporary Insurance Agreement

Temporary insurance coverage may be provided under the terms of a Temporary Insurance Agreement, subject to our underwriting practices. Generally, temporary life insurance may not exceed $1,000,000 and may not be in effect for more than 90 days. It is issued on a conditional receipt basis, which means that benefits would only be paid if the Life Insured met our usual and customary underwriting standards for the coverage applied for.

Underwriting

The policies are offered on three underwriting classes that require different types and amounts of information from the applicant and prospective Life Insured. Current cost of insurance charges in early Policy Years will vary by the type of underwriting and charges will generally be lower where underwriting information is more extensive. Under any of the underwriting bases, the acceptance of an application is subject to our underwriting rules and we may request additional information or reject an application for any reason.

Short Form Underwriting. The proposed Life Insured must answer qualifying questions in the application but is not required to provide detailed medical history, submit records or undergo examinations or tests unless requested to do so by us. Availability of Short Form underwriting depends on characteristics of the Case, such as the number of lives to be insured, the amounts of insurance and other factors, and it is generally available only up to Issue Age 65.

Simplified Underwriting. The proposed Life Insured must satisfactorily answer certain health questions in the application and may be required to submit existing medical records, but requirements to undergo examinations and tests are minimized. Availability of Simplified underwriting and the nature of the requirements will depend on characteristics of the Case and the proposed lives to be insured.

Regular (Medical) Underwriting. Where Short Form or Simplified underwriting is unavailable we require satisfactory evidence of insurability under our regular underwriting guidelines for individual applicants. This may include medical exams and other information. A proposed Life Insured who fails to qualify for a standard risk classification may be eligible to be insured with an additional substandard rating.

Right to Examine the Policy

A policy may be returned for a refund within 10 days after you receive it. Some states provide a longer period of time for this right, which will be stated in the policy if applicable. The policy can be mailed or delivered to the John Hancock USA agent who sold it or to the Service Office. Immediately upon such delivery or mailing, the policy shall be deemed void from the beginning. Within seven days after receipt of the returned policy at the Service Office we will refund an amount equal to the value of amounts in the Investment Accounts and the Fixed Account on the date we receive the returned policy, plus all charges deducted prior to that date, not including fees and expenses of the portfolios, minus any partial withdrawals and policy loans.

Some state laws require the refund of premiums paid without adjustment for investment gains and losses of the Separate Account. In these states, all Net Premiums will be allocated to the Money Market Trust during the right to examine period and the refund amount will be equal to all premiums received less any partial withdrawals and policy loans.

If you request a Face Amount increase that results in new surrender charge or sales loads, you will have the same rights described above to cancel the increase. If canceled, the premiums paid during this right to examine period will be refunded, and the Policy Value and surrender charge or sales loads will be recalculated to be as they would have been had the premiums not been paid.

We reserve the right to delay the refund of any premium paid by check until the check has cleared.

(Applicable to Residents of California Only)

Residents in California age 60 and greater may return the policy for a refund at any time within 30 days after receiving it. The policy can be mailed or delivered to the Company’s agent who sold it or to the Service Office. If you cancel the policy during this 30 day period and your premiums were allocated to a Fixed Account or the Money-Market investment option, we will refund you the amount of all premiums paid. If your premiums were allocated to one or more of the Investment Accounts (other than the Money Market portfolio), we will refund you the value of amounts in the Investment Accounts and the Fixed Account on the date we receive the returned policy plus all charges deducted prior to that date, not including fees and expenses of the portfolios; minus any partial withdrawals and policy loans.

Your premiums will be placed in either (a) the Fixed Account, (b) the Money Market investment option or © in one or more of the Investment Accounts, based upon your instructions. If no instructions are given, your premiums will be placed in the Money Market investment option.

Life Insurance Qualification

A policy must satisfy either of two tests to qualify as a life insurance contract as defined in Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). At the time of application, you must choose either the Cash Value Accumulation Test (“CVA Test”) or the Guideline Premium Test (“GP Test”) and the test cannot be changed once the policy is issued.

Cash Value Accumulation Test. The CVA Test requires the death benefit at any time to be at least a certain ratio of the Policy Value, based on prescribed calculations. The Minimum Death Benefit provision described below will ensure that the CVA Test is met. There is no restriction on the amount of premiums you may pay, but we will require you to provide satisfactory evidence of insurability before we accept an amount of premium that would increase the death benefit by more than the increase in Policy Value.

Guideline Premium Test. The GP Test limits the amount of premiums you may pay into the policy, given its death benefit, based on prescribed calculations. In addition, the GP Test requires the death benefit at any time to be at least a prescribed ratio of the Policy Value. These prescribed multiples are generally lower than those calculated under the CVA Test. The Minimum Death Benefit provision described below will ensure that this second requirement is met.

Changes to the policy or FTIO Rider, such as changes in Face Amount, Scheduled Death Benefit, death benefit Option or partial withdrawals, may affect the premium limits under the GP Test. Some changes will reduce future premium limits and may cause premiums already paid to exceed the new limits and force you to make a partial withdrawal.

DEATH BENEFITS

If the policy is in force at the time of the Life Insured’s death we will pay an insurance benefit to the beneficiary. The policy may remain in force for the Life Insured’s entire lifetime and there is no specified maturity or expiration date.

Insurance benefits are only payable when we receive due proof of death at the Service Office, in the form of either a certified copy of the death certificate, a certified copy of a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to the finding of death or other proof satisfactory to us.

The amount of the insurance benefit payable will be the death benefit on the date of death, as described below, less any Policy Debt and outstanding monthly deductions on the date of death. The insurance benefit will be paid in one lump sum unless another form of settlement is agreed to by the beneficiary and us. If the insurance benefit is paid in one sum, we will

pay interest from the date of death to the date of payment. If the Life Insured should die after our receipt of a request for surrender, no insurance benefit will be payable, and we will pay only the Net Cash Surrender Value.

Minimum Death Benefit. Both the CVA Test and the GP Test require the death benefit to be at least a prescribed ratio of the Policy Value at all times. The Policy’s Minimum Death Benefit ensures that these requirements are met by providing that the death benefit shall be at least equal to the Policy Value multiplied by the applicable Minimum Death Benefit Percentage for the Attained Age of the Life Insured. Tables of Minimum Death Benefit Percentages appear below.

Flexible Term Insurance Option Rider

You may add the FTIO Rider to the policy to provide additional death benefit coverage on the Life Insured. The FTIO Rider provides flexible term life insurance to Attained Age 100 with cost of insurance charges less than or equal to those of the policy. The Rider will terminate at the earlier of Attained Age 100, the date the policy lapses or is surrendered, and your request to cancel the FTIO Rider.

You may schedule the death benefit amounts that will apply at specified times (the “Scheduled Death Benefits”). Scheduled Death Benefits may be constant or varying from time to time. The Death Benefit Schedule will be shown in the policy.

The Term Insurance Benefit of the FTIO Rider is equal to (a) minus (b) but not less than zero where:

(a) the Scheduled Death Benefit for the Policy Month, and

(b) the Face Amount of the policy or, if greater, the policy’s Minimum Death Benefit

Even if the Term Insurance Benefit may be zero in a Policy Month, the Rider will not terminate.

Example. A policy is purchased for an executive as part of an employee benefit plan. The death benefit provided by the policy is to be equal to the executive’s salary of $100,000 increasing at 5% per year through age 64. Assuming the executive is currently 55, the policy will be issued with a death benefit Schedule as follows:

Policy Year Scheduled
Death
Benefit
1 100,000
2 105,000
3 110,250
4 115,763
5 121,551
6 127,628
7 134,010
8 140,710
9 147,746
10+ 155,133

The FTIO Rider amount will change each year as necessary to provide the benefits shown in the schedule, as follows:

Policy Year Total
Death
Benefit
Face
Amount
Flexible
Term
Insurance
Amount
1 100,000 100000 0
2 105,000 100000 5,000

4 115,763 100000 15,763
5 121,551 100000 21,551
6 127,628 100000 27,628

8 140,710 100000 40,710
9 147,746 100000 47,746
10 155,133 100000 55,133

Death Benefit Options

You may choose either of two death benefit Options:

Death Benefit Option 1. The death benefit on any date is the Face Amount of the policy or, if greater, the Minimum Death Benefit, plus the Term Insurance Benefit of the FTIO Rider.

Death Benefit Option 2. The death benefit on any date is the Face Amount plus the Policy Value or, if greater, the Minimum Death Benefit, plus the Term Insurance Benefit of the FTIO Rider.

Changing the Death Benefit Option

You may change the death benefit Option at any time. The change will take effect at the beginning of the next Policy Month that is at least 30 days after your written request is received at the Service Office. We reserve the right to limit changes that could cause the policy to fail to qualify as life insurance for tax purposes.

A change in the death benefit Option will result in a change in the Face Amount and Scheduled Death Benefits to avoid any change in the amount of death benefit, as follows:

  • Change from Option 1 to Option 2. The new Face Amount will be the Face Amount prior to the change less the Policy Value on the date of the change.
  • The Scheduled Death benefit amounts for dates on or after the date of the change will be the amounts scheduled prior to the change less the Policy Value on the date of the change.
  • Coverage Amounts will be reduced or eliminated in the order that they are listed in the policy until the total decrease in Coverage Amounts equals the decrease in Face Amount.
  • surrender charge will not be assessed for reductions that are solely due to a change in the death benefit Option.

Example. A policy is issued with a Face amount of $100,000, death benefit Option 1, and the following schedule:

Policy Year Scheduled
Death Benefit
1 100,000
2 125,000
3 150,000
4 175,000
5+ 200,000

The death benefit Option is changed to Option 2 at the beginning of Policy Year 3. If the Policy Value at the time of the change is $10,000, then the Face Amount after the change will be $90,000 (the Face Amount prior to the change less the Policy Value) and the Death Benefit Schedule after the change will become:

Policy Year Scheduled
Death Benefit
3 140,000
4 165,000
5+ 190,000

Change from Option 2 to Option 1. The new Face Amount will be the Face Amount prior to the change plus the Policy Value on the date of the change (but the new Face Amount will be no greater than the Scheduled Death Benefit on the date of the change.)

The resulting Face Amount increase will be added to the first Coverage Amount listed in the policy.

The Annual Premium Target for this Coverage Amount will not be increased and new surrender charge or Sales Loads will not apply, however, for an increase solely due to a change in the death benefit Option.

Example. A policy is issued with a Face amount of $100,000, death benefit Option 2, and the following schedule:

Policy Year Scheduled
Death Benefit
1 100,000
2 125,000
3 150,000
4 175,000
5+ 200,000

The death benefit Option is changed to Option 1 at the beginning of Policy Year 3. If the Policy Value at the time of the change is $10,000, then the Face Amount after the change will be $110,000 (the Face Amount prior to the change plus the Policy Value), and the Death Benefit Schedule after the change will become:

Policy Year Scheduled
Death Benefit
3 160,000
4 185,000
5+ 210,000

Changing the Face Amount and Scheduled Death Benefits

  • At any time, you may request an increase or decrease to the Face Amount or any Scheduled Death Benefits effective on or after the date of change. We reserve the right to limit changes that could cause the policy to fail to qualify as life insurance for tax purposes.
  • Increases in Face Amount and Scheduled Death Benefits. Increases in Face Amount and Scheduled Death Benefits are subject to the following conditions:
  • Increases in Face Amount and Scheduled Death Benefits will require satisfactory evidence of the Life Insured’s insurability.
  • Increases will take effect at the beginning of the next Policy Month after we approve the request.
  • We may refuse a requested increase that would not meet our requirements for new policy issues at the time due to the Life Insured’s Attained Age or other factors.
  • If the Face Amount is increased (other than as required by a death benefit Option change) then all Scheduled Death Benefits effective on or after the date of the change will be increased by the amount of the Face Amount increase.

New Surrender Charges or Sales Loads for a Face Amount Increase. Coverage Amounts equal to the amount of the increase will be added to the policy as follows:

  • First, Coverage Amounts that were reduced or eliminated by a prior Face Amount decrease will be restored.
  • Second, if needed, a new Coverage Amount will be added to the policy with an Annual Premium Target and new surrender charge or Sales Loads. Any new Coverage Amount will be based on the Life Insured’s Attained Age and other relevant factors on the effective date of the increase.

Premiums paid on or after the increase may be attributed to the new Coverage Amount and result in surrender charge or Sales Loads (see “Charges and Deductions — Attribution of Premiums”).

Decreases in Face Amount and Scheduled Death Benefits. Decreases in Face Amount and Scheduled Death Benefits are subject to the following conditions:

  • Decreases in Face Amount and Scheduled Death Benefits will take effect at the beginning of the next policy Month which is at least 30 days after your written request is received at the Service Office.
  • If the Face Amount is decreased then all Scheduled Death Benefits effective on or after the date of the change will be decreased by the same amount.
  • If at any time the Scheduled Death Benefit decreases to less than the Face Amount, the Face Amount will be decreased to be equal to the Scheduled Death Benefit at that time.
  • Coverage Amounts equal to the amount of the Face Amount decrease will be reduced or eliminated in the reverse order that they are listed in the policy. surrender charge may be assessed (see “Charges and Deductions  —  Sales Load or Surrender Charge”).

Decreases in Face Amount under Death Benefit Option 1 due to a Partial Withdrawal. If death benefit Option 1 is in effect when a partial withdrawal is made, the Face Amount will be decreased by an amount equal to (a) minus (b) but not less than zero, where:

(a) is the partial withdrawal amount plus any applicable Surrender Charge and
(b) is the excess, if any, of the policy’s Minimum Death Benefit over its Face Amount, immediately prior to the partial withdrawal.

Decreases in Face Amount under death benefit Option 1 due to a Partial Withdrawal are subject to the following conditions:

  • Coverage Amounts equal to the amount of the Face Amount decrease will be reduced or eliminated in the reverse order that they are listed in the policy.
  • All Scheduled Death Benefits effective on or after the date of the partial withdrawal will be decreased by the amount of the Face Amount decrease, unless you request otherwise and we approve.
  • A Face Amount decrease due to a partial withdrawal will not incur any Surrender Charge in addition to that applicable to the partial withdrawal (see “Charges and Deductions — Sales Load or Surrender Charge”).

Example for Face Increases and Decreases. A policy is issued with a Face Amount of $100,000, death benefit Option 1, and a Death Benefit Schedule as follows:

Policy
Year
Scheduled
Death Benefit
1 100,000
2 125,000
3 150,000
4 175,000
5+ 200,000

Assume the following policy activity:

A new Coverage Amount for $20,000 is added to the policy. This new coverage amount will have its own Annual Premium Target, and if applicable, its own Sales Load or surrender charge. A portion of the future premiums paid will be attributed to this Coverage Amount to determine the amount of the Sales Load or Surrender Charge. Policy

In Policy Year 4, a Partial Withdrawal of $30,000 is made. The Face Amount is reduced to $90,000. The most recent Coverage Amount of $20,000 is reduced to $0, and the initial Coverage Amount is reduced to $90,000. Policy

Factors that Affect the Death Benefit. In the case of death benefit Option 2 where the death benefit is the Face Amount plus the Policy Value, changes in the Policy Value will affect the amount of death benefit. Factors that affect the Policy Value are the investment performance of the variable investment options chosen and the charges deducted. For a discussion of how these factors affect Policy Value see the “Risks/Benefits Summary.” These factors do not affect the Face Amount of the policy. Therefore, the amount of death benefit under Option 1 will not be less than the Face Amount as long as the policy does not lapse.

PREMIUM PAYMENTS

Initial Premiums

No premiums will be accepted prior to receipt of a completed application by us. All premiums received prior to the Effective Date of the policy will be held in the general account and credited with interest from the date of receipt at the rate of return earned on amounts allocated to the Money Market Trust.

On the Effective Date, the Net Premiums paid plus interest credited will be allocated among the Investment Accounts or the Fixed Account in accordance with your instructions, unless first allocated to the Money Market Trust for the duration of the right to examine period (see “Right to Examine the Policy”).

Subsequent Premiums

After the payment of the initial premium, premiums may be paid at any time during the lifetime of the Life Insured prior to Attained Age 100 and in any amount subject to the premium limitations described below. A policy will be issued with a planned premium, which is based on the amount of premium you wish to pay. We will send you notices of your planned premium at the payment interval you select. However, you are under no obligation to make the planned premium payment.

Payment of premiums will not guarantee that the policy will stay in force and failure to pay premiums will not necessarily cause the policy to lapse. The policy will remain in force so long as the Net Cash Surrender Value is sufficient to cover policy charges.

Premium Limitations

If the policy is issued under the GP Test, the total of all premiums paid may not exceed the then-current maximum premium limitations established by federal income tax law for the policy to qualify as life insurance. The GP Test premium limits are stated in the policy. If a premium is received which would result in total premiums exceeding the applicable GP Test limit, we will only accept that portion of the premium that will not exceed the limit. Any premium in excess of that amount will be returned.

If the policy is issued under the CVA Test, there is no restriction on the amount of premiums that may be paid into a policy, but you must provide satisfactory evidence of insurability before we accept any premium that would increase the death benefit by an amount greater than the increase in Policy Value.

Premium Allocation

You may allocate premiums to the Fixed Account and Investment Accounts. Allocations may be made as percentages that are between zero and 100% that sum to exactly 100%. Alternatively, you may allocate a premium in dollar amounts that sum to exactly the Net Premium amount. You may change premium allocations at any time and the change will take effect on the date a request for change satisfactory to us is received at the Service Office.

CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS

Premium Load

We will deduct a Premium Load as a percentage of each premium payment that is guaranteed never to exceed 2.0%. Currently, we waive this load in Policy Years 11 and later and charge 0%.

The charge is intended to cover a portion of the aggregate amount of various taxes and fees we pay to federal, state and local governments. It is not based on the actual premium tax rate of your state of residence or any other specific tax.

Sales Load or Surrender Charge

Each Coverage Amount listed in the policy is designated as having either a Sales Load or Surrender Charge. One or the other of these charges will apply to a Coverage Amount, but not both. This designation cannot be changed after a Coverage Amount is effective and, currently, the same alternative must apply to all Coverage Amounts.

Generally, policy benefits will be approximately equal in present value under either alternative. However, there is no guarantee each alternative will perform the same in all circumstances. Therefore, you should obtain individualized illustrations for both charge structures. Current cost of insurance rates in early Policy Years will be higher for the Surrender Charge alternative.

The Sales Load or Surrender Charge is intended to cover a portion of our costs of marketing and distributing the policies.

Attribution of Premiums. An Annual Premium Target is associated with each Coverage Amount. Annual Premium Targets are based on the Coverage Amount and the Life Insured’s Attained Age, sex and smoking status on the effective date of the Coverage Amount. The Annual Premium Targets are listed with the Coverage Amounts in the policy.

Premium payments will be attributed to Coverage Amounts that have been in effect for less than 5 years. Attribution will begin with the first applicable Coverage Amount that is listed in the policy. The sum of all premium amounts attributed to a Coverage Amount in a Coverage Year is limited to the Annual Premium Target shown in the policy. Premium amounts that exceed the Annual Premium Target will be attributed to the next listed Coverage Amount, up to its own Annual Premium Target. Attribution will continue in this manner until either the entire premium is attributed to Coverage Amounts or the Annual Premium Target is exceeded for all applicable Coverage Amounts.

Sales Load. We deduct a Sales Load from all premium amounts attributed to a Coverage Amount designated as having a Sales Load. The Sales Load is a percentage of premiums guaranteed never to exceed the percentages below.

Currently we are charging these percentages.

Coverage Year Percentage Coverage Year Percentage
1 8% 4 2%
2 6% 5 1%
3 3% 6+ 0%

Surrender Charge. We will deduct a Surrender Charge from the Net Policy Value upon elimination or reduction of a Coverage Amount designated as having a Surrender Charge during the first 9 Coverage Years. Coverage Amounts may be eliminated or reduced and a Surrender Charge assessed due to:

  • surrender of the policy for its Net Cash Surrender Value,
  • a partial withdrawal which exceeds the Free Partial Withdrawal Amount,
  • a Face Amount decrease that is not solely due to a death benefit Option change, or
  • lapse of the policy.

The Surrender Charge for an applicable Coverage Amount is a percentage of the sum of all premiums attributed to it since its effective date. Surrender Charge percentages are guaranteed never to exceed those below. Currently, we are charging these percentages:

Coverage Year Percentage Coverage Year Percentage
1 5.0% 6 1.5%
2 4.0% 7 1.0%
3 3.0% 8 1.0%
4 2.5% 9 0.5%
5 2.0% 10+ 0.0%

Although the Surrender Charge percentages remain level or decrease as the Coverage Year increases, the total dollar amount of surrender charge may increase, as the total premium paid increases. Premiums paid in any Coverage Year in excess of the Annual Premium Target and premiums paid after the fifth Coverage Year may not add to the Surrender Charge, so the timing of premium payments may affect the amount of the Surrender Charge.

Depending upon circumstances such as premiums paid and performance of the underlying investment options, there may be a Policy Value but no Cash Surrender Value available due to the existence of the Surrender Charge.

Unless otherwise allowed by us and specified by you, surrender charge will be allocated among the Investment Accounts and the Fixed Account in the same proportion as the Policy Value in each Account bears to the Net Policy Value.

Surrender Charges on a Partial Withdrawal. We will assess a portion of the Surrender Charge if you take a partial withdrawal that exceeds the Free Withdrawal Amount. The Free Withdrawal Amount is 10% of the Net Cash Surrender Value at the time of the withdrawal less the amount of any partial withdrawals already taken in the same Policy Year.

The portion of the policy’s total Surrender Charge that will be assessed is the ratio of (a) to (b), where (a) is the amount being withdrawn in excess of the Free Withdrawal Amount and (b) is the Net Cash Surrender Value immediately prior to the withdrawal. The remaining surrender charge for all Coverage Amounts will be reduced in the same proportion that the Surrender Charge assessed bears to the policy’s total Surrender Charge immediately prior to the partial withdrawal.

Surrender Charges on a Face Amount Decrease. We will assess a portion of the Surrender Charge upon a Face Amount decrease that is not required due to a death benefit Option change or partial withdrawal. For each Coverage Amount that is reduced or eliminated as a result of the decrease, we will assess a portion of any applicable Surrender Charge. The proportion of the Surrender Charge that is assessed will be the ratio of amount by which the Coverage Amount is reduced to the Coverage Amount prior to reduction. The remaining surrender charge for affected Coverage Amounts will be reduced by the same ratio.

Monthly Deductions

On the Policy Date and at the beginning of each Policy Month prior to Attained Age 100, a deduction is due from the Net Policy Value to cover certain charges described below. Monthly deductions due prior to the policy’s Effective Date will be taken on the Effective Date. Unless otherwise allowed by us and specified by you, the monthly deduction will be allocated among the Investment Accounts and the Fixed Account in the same proportion as the Policy Value in each of the Investment Accounts and the Fixed Account bears to the Net Policy Value.

Administration Charge. Currently we deduct a charge of $12 per Policy Month, which is guaranteed never to be exceeded. This charge is intended to cover certain administrative expenses associated with the policy, including maintaining policy records, collecting premiums and processing death claims, surrender and withdrawal requests and various changes permitted under a policy.

Cost of Insurance Charge. A monthly charge for the cost of insurance is paid to the Company and is determined by multiplying a cost of insurance rate by the net amount at risk at the beginning of each Policy Month.

Death Benefit Option 1. The net amount at risk is equal to the greater of zero, or (a) minus (b), where

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

(b) is the Policy Value attributed to that death benefit amount on the first day of the Policy Month.

Death Benefit Option 2. The net amount at risk is equal to the Face Amount of insurance.

Cost of insurance rates and net amounts at risk are determined separately for each Coverage Amount and for the excess of the death benefit over the Face Amount (the Face Amount is the sum of the Coverage Amounts).

Attribution of Policy Value to Net Amounts at Risk. To determine the net amounts at risk, the Policy Value will be attributed to Coverage Amounts in the order listed in the policy. The amount of Policy Value attributed to a Coverage Amount will be limited to the amount that results in zero net amount at risk, and any excess Policy Value will then be attributed to the next listed Coverage Amount. Attribution will continue in this manner until either the entire Policy Value is attributed or the end of the list of Coverage Amounts is reached. Any remaining Policy Value will then be attributed to the excess of the death benefit over the Face Amount.

Current Cost of Insurance Rates. Cost of insurance rates are determined separately for each Coverage Amount and the excess of the death benefit over the Face Amount. There are different current cost of insurance rate bases for:

  • Coverage Amounts having Sales Loads,
  • Coverage Amounts having surrender charge, and
  • The excess of the death benefit over the Face Amount, including any Term Insurance Benefit under the FTIO Rider.

The cost of insurance rate in a specific Policy Month for an applicable death benefit amount will depend on:

  • the cost of insurance rate basis for the applicable death benefit amount,
  • the Life Insured’s Attained Age, sex (unless unisex rates are required by law) and smoking status on the effective date of the applicable death benefit amount,
  • the underwriting class of the applicable death benefit amount,
  • the Coverage Year, or Policy Year for the excess of the death benefit over the Face Amount,
  • any extra charges for substandard ratings, as stated in the policy.

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

Cost of insurance rates will generally increase with the Life Insured’s age and the Coverage Year.

Cost of insurance rates reflect our expectation as to future mortality experience. They are also intended to cover our general costs of providing the policy, to the extent that these costs are not covered by other charges. Current cost of insurance rates may be changed by us on a basis that does not unfairly discriminate within the class of lives insured.

Guaranteed Maximum Cost of Insurance Rates. In no event will the cost of insurance rates we charge exceed the guaranteed maximum rates set forth in the policy, except to the extent that an extra charge is imposed for a substandard rating. The guaranteed rates are the based on 1980 Commissioners Standard Ordinary Sex Distinct (unless unisex rates are required by law) ANB Aggregate Ultimate Mortality Tables. Current cost of insurance rates may be less than the guaranteed rates.

Asset Based Risk Charge Deducted from Investment Accounts

We assess a daily charge against amounts in the Investment Accounts. This charge is intended to compensate us for insurance risks we assume under the policy, such as benefit payments and expenses that are higher than we expected. We will realize a gain from this charge to the extent it is not needed to provide benefits and pay expenses under the policy.

The charge is a percentage of amounts in the Investment Accounts, which will reduce Unit Values of the sub-accounts. The charge is guaranteed never to exceed an annual rate of 0.50%. Currently, we charge the following rates:

PolicyYear Annual Rate
1-10 0.50%
11+ 0.25%

Reduction in Charges and Enhanced Surrender Values

The policy is designed for employers and other sponsoring organizations that may purchase multiple policies as a Case. The size or nature of the Case may result in expected savings of sales, underwriting, administrative or other costs. If so, we expect to offer reductions of policy charges and enhancements of surrender value. Eligibility for reductions and enhancements and the amounts available 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 policy owner, the nature of the relationship among the lives insured, the purpose for which the policies are being purchased, expected persistency of the individual policies, and any other circumstances which we believe to be relevant to the expected reduction of our expenses. Some of reductions and enhancements may be guaranteed and others may be subject to restrictions or to withdrawal or modification, on a uniform case basis. We may change the nature and amount of reductions and enhancements available from time to time. Reductions and enhancements will be determined in a way that is not unfairly discriminatory to policy owners.

COMPANY TAX CONSIDERATIONS

Currently, we make no specific charge for any federal, state, or local taxes that we incur that may be attributable to such Account or to the policy. We reserve the right in the future to make a charge for any such tax or other economic burden resulting from the application of tax laws that we determines to be attributable to the Separate Account or to the policy.

POLICY VALUE

Determination of the Policy Value

A policy has a Policy Value, a portion of which is available to you by making a policy loan or partial withdrawal, or upon surrender of the policy. The Policy Value may also affect the amount of the death benefit. The Policy Value at any time is equal to the sum of the values in the Investment Accounts, the Fixed Account, and the Loan Account.

The Policy Value is affected by the investment performance of the Investment Account chosen and the rate of interest credited if amounts are allocated to the Fixed Account. The Policy Value is also affected by the charges deducted. For a discussion of how these factors affect Policy Value see the “Risks/Benefits Summary.”

Investment Accounts. An Investment Account is established under each policy for each sub-account of the Separate Account to which Net Premiums or transfer amounts have been allocated. Each Investment Account under a policy measures the interest of the policy in the corresponding sub-account. The value of the Investment Account established for a particular sub-account is equal to the number of units of that sub-account credited to the policy times the value of such units.

Fixed Account. Amounts in the Fixed Account do not vary with the investment performance of any sub-account. Instead, these amounts are credited with interest at a rate determined by John Hancock USA. See “The General Account — Fixed Account”.

Loan Account. Amounts borrowed from the policy are transferred to the Loan Account. Amounts in the Loan Account do not vary with the investment performance of any sub-account. Instead, these amounts are credited with interest at a rate determined by John Hancock USA that is lower than the loan interest rate charged on Policy Debt. See “Policy Loans — Loan Account”.

Units and Unit Values

Crediting and Canceling Units. Units of a particular sub-account are credited to a policy when Net Premiums are allocated to that sub-account or amounts are transferred to that sub-account. Units of a sub-account are cancelled whenever amounts are deducted, transferred or withdrawn from the sub-account. The number of units credited or cancelled for a specific transaction is based on the dollar amount of the transaction divided by the value of the unit on the Business Day on which the transaction occurs. The number of units credited with respect to a premium payment will be based on the applicable unit values for the Business Day on which the premium is received at the Service Office, except for any premiums received before the Effective Date. For premiums received before the Effective Date, the values will be determined on the Effective Date.

Units are valued at the end of each Business Day. When an order involving the crediting or canceling of units is received after the end of a Business Day, or on a day that is not a Business Day, the order will be processed on the basis of unit values determined on the next Business Day. Similarly, any determination of Policy Value, Investment Account value or death benefit to be made on a day that is not a Business Day will be made on the next Business Day.

Unit Values. For each Business Day the unit value for a sub-account is determined by multiplying the unit value for the immediately preceding Business Day by the net investment factor for that sub-account on such subsequent Business Day.

The net investment factor for a sub-account on any Business Day is equal to (a) divided by (b) minus (c), where:

(a) is the net asset value of the underlying portfolio shares held by that sub-account as of the end of such Business Day before any policy transactions are made on that day;
(b) is the net asset value of the underlying portfolio shares held by that sub-account as of the end of the immediately preceding Business Day after all policy transactions were made for that day; and

(c) is a charge not exceeding the daily mortality and expense risk charge shown in the “Charges and Deductions — Asset Based Risk Charge Deducted from Investment Accounts” section.

The value of a unit may increase, decrease, or remain the same, depending on the investment performance of a sub-account from one Business Day to the next.

Transfers of Policy Value

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 options in variable life insurance products can be a prime target for abusive transfer activity because these products value their investment options on a daily basis and allow transfers among investment options without immediate tax consequences. As a result, some investors may seek to frequently transfer into and out of variable investment options or to make large transfers in reaction to market news or to exploit a perceived pricing inefficiency. Whatever the reason, long-term investors in a variable investment option 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 and facsimile 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 options, (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.

Our current practice is to restrict transfers into or out of variable investment options to two per calendar month (except with respect to those policies described in the following paragraph). In applying this restriction any transfer request involving the transfer of account value into or out of multiple variable investment options will still count as only one request. No more than one transfer request may be made on any day. You may, however, transfer to the Money Market portfolio even if the two transfer per month limit has been reached, but only if 100% of the Policy Value in all variable investment options is transferred to the Money Market portfolio. If such a transfer to the Money Market investment portfolio is made, then, for the 30 calendar day period after such transfer, no transfers from the Money Market portfolio to any other variable investment options or to the Fixed Account may be made. If a 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 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 account values are transferred from one portfolio
into a second portfolio, the values can only be transferred out of the second investment option if they are transferred into the Money Market portfolio; and (ii) any account values that would otherwise not be transferable by application of the 10 day limit described above and that are transferred into the Money Market portfolio may not be transferred out of the Money Market portfolio into any other investment options (variable or fixed) 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 or timing of transfers, we will monitor aggregate trades among the sub-accounts 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. The restrictions described in these paragraphs will be applied uniformly to all policy owners subject to the restrictions.

We reserve the right to modify or terminate the transfer privilege at any time in accordance with applicable law. Transfer privileges are also subject to any restrictions that may be imposed by the portfolios. In addition, we reserve the right to defer the transfer privilege at any time that we are unable to purchase or redeem shares of a portfolio.

Rule 22c-2 under the 1940 Act requires us to provide tax identification numbers and other policy owner transaction information to John Hancock 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.

Transfers Involving Fixed Account. While the policy is in force, you may transfer the Policy Value from any of the Investment Accounts to the Fixed Account without incurring transfer charges:

  • within eighteen months after the Issue Date; or
  • within 60 days of the effective date of a material change in the investment objectives of any of the sub-accounts; or
  • within 60 days of the date of notification of such change, whichever is later.
Such transfers will not count against the twelve transfers that may be made free of charge in any Policy Year.

The maximum amount that you may transfer from the Fixed Account in any one Policy Year is the greater of $2,000, 15% of the Fixed Account value at the previous Policy Anniversary, or the amount transferred out of the Fixed Account during the previous policy year. Any transfer which involves a transfer out of the Fixed Account may not involve a transfer to the Investment Account for the Money Market portfolio.

Telephone Transfers. Transfer requests must be in writing in a form satisfactory to us, or by telephone if a currently valid telephone transfer authorization form is on file. Although failure to follow reasonable procedures may result in our being liable for any losses resulting from unauthorized or fraudulent telephone transfers, we will not be liable for following instructions communicated by telephone that we reasonably believe to be genuine. We will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone are genuine. Such procedures shall consist of confirming that a valid telephone authorization form is on file, tape recording of all telephone transactions and providing written confirmation thereof.

POLICY LOANS

At any time while the policy is in force, you may borrow against the Policy Value. The policy is the only security for the loan. policy loans may have tax consequences. See “Tax Treatment of Policy Benefits — Policy Loan Interest.”

A policy loan will affect future Policy Values, since the portion of the Policy Value in the Loan Account will receive the loan interest credited rate rather than varying with the performance of the underlying portfolios or increasing at the Fixed Account interest credited rate. A policy loan may cause a policy to be more susceptible to lapse since it reduces the Net Cash Surrender Value from which monthly deductions are taken. A policy loan causes the amount payable upon death of the Life Insured to be reduced by the amount of outstanding Policy Debt.

Maximum Loan. The amount of any loan cannot exceed the amount that would cause the Policy Debt to equal the Policy’s Cash Surrender Value less the monthly deductions due from the date of the loan to the next Policy Anniversary.

Interest Charged on Policy Loans

Interest on the Policy Debt will accrue daily and be payable annually on the Policy Anniversary. The rate of interest charged will be an effective annual rate of 4%.

Loan Account

When a loan is made, an amount equal to the loan will be deducted from the Investment Accounts or the Fixed Account and transferred to the Loan Account. You may designate how this amount is allocated among the Accounts. If you give no instructions, the amount transferred will be allocated among the Investment Accounts and the Fixed Account in the same proportion as the Policy Value in each Investment Account and the Fixed Account bears to the Net Policy Value. A transfer from an Investment Account will result in the cancellation of units of the underlying sub-account equal in value to the amount transferred from the Investment Account. However, since the Loan Account is part of the Policy Value, transfers made in connection with a loan will not change the Policy Value.

Interest Credited to the Loan Account. Policy Value in the Loan Account will earn interest at an effective annual rate guaranteed to be at least 3.25%. We may declare a current interest rate that is greater than this, subject to change at any time. The excess of the loan interest charged rate (4%) over the loan interest credited rates will result in a net charge against the Policy Value with respect to any Policy Debt.

Currently we credit loan interest rates which vary by Policy Year as follows:

Policy
Years
Current Loan
Interest
Credited Rates
Excess of Loan
Interest
Charged Rate
1-10 3.25% 0.75%
11+ 3.75% 0.25%
Loan Account Adjustments. On the first day of each Policy Month the difference between the Loan Account and the Policy Debt is transferred to the Loan Account from the Investment Accounts or the Fixed Account. The amount transferred will be allocated to the Investment Accounts and the Fixed Account in the same proportion as the Policy Value in each Investment Account or the Fixed Account bears to the Net Policy Value.

Loan Repayments. Policy Debt may be repaid, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the death of the Life Insured while the policy is in force. A loan repayment amount will be credited to the Loan Account and transferred to the Fixed Account or the Investment Accounts in the same proportion as the Policy Value in each Account bears to the Net Policy Value.

Amounts paid to us not specifically designated in writing as loan repayments will be treated as premiums.

POLICY SURRENDER AND PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS

Policy Surrender

A policy may be surrendered for its Net Cash Surrender Value at any time while the Life Insured is living. The Net Cash Surrender Value is equal to the Policy Value less any surrender charge, monthly deductions due and Policy Debt. The Net Cash Surrender Value will be determined at the end of the Business Day on which we receive the policy and a written request for surrender at the Service Office. When a policy is surrendered, the insurance coverage and all other benefits under the policy will terminate.

Partial Withdrawals

You may make a partial withdrawal of the Net Cash Surrender Value at any time. You may designate how the withdrawal amount is allocated among the Investment Account and the Fixed Account. If you give no instructions, the withdrawal amount will be allocated among the Accounts in the same proportion as the Policy Value in each Account bears to the Net Policy Value.

Surrender Charges may be assessed on a Partial Withdrawal. See “Charges and Deductions  —  Surrender Charges.” The death benefit may be reduced as a result of a Partial Withdrawal. See “Death Benefits  —  Decreases in Face Amount under death benefit Option 1 due to a Partial Withdrawal”.

LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT

Lapse

A policy will go into default at the beginning of a Policy Month if the Net Cash Surrender Value would go below zero after deducting the monthly deduction then due. A lapse could have adverse tax consequences as described under “Tax Considerations  —  Tax Treatment of Policy Benefits  —  Surrender or Lapse.” We will notify you of the default and will allow you a 61-day grace period in which to 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 load charge. If the required payment is not received by the end of the grace period, the policy will terminate with no value.

Death During Grace Period. If the Life Insured should die during the grace period, the Policy Value used in the calculation of the death benefit will be the Policy Value on the date of default and the insurance benefit will be reduced by any outstanding monthly deductions due at the time of death.

Reinstatement

You may reinstate a policy that has terminated after going into default at any time within the five-year period following the date of termination subject to the following conditions:

  • The policy must not have been surrendered for its Net Cash Surrender Value;
  • Evidence of the Life Insured’s insurability satisfactory to us must be provided; and
  • A premium equal to the payment required during the grace period following default to keep the policy in force is paid.
THE GENERAL ACCOUNT

The general account of John Hancock USA consists of all assets owned by us other than those in the Separate Account and other Separate Accounts of the Company. Subject to applicable law, we have sole discretion over investment of the assets of the general account.

By virtue of exclusionary provisions, interests in the general account of John Hancock USA have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and the general account has not been registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Accordingly, neither the general account nor any interests therein are subject to the provisions of these acts, and as a result the staff of the SEC has not reviewed the disclosures in this prospectus relating to the general account. Disclosures regarding the general account may, however, be subject to certain generally applicable provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in a prospectus.

Fixed Account

You may allocate Net Premiums to the Fixed Account or transfer all or a portion of the Policy Value to the Fixed Account from the Investment Accounts. John Hancock USA will hold the reserves required for any portion of the policy Value allocated to the Fixed Account in our general account. Transfers from the Fixed Account to the Investment Accounts are subject to restrictions.

Policy Value in the Fixed Account. The Policy Value in the Fixed Account is equal to:

  • the portion of the Net Premiums allocated to it; plus
  • any amounts transferred to it; plus
  • interest credited to it; less
  • any charges deducted from it; less
  • any partial withdrawals from it; less
  • any amounts transferred from it.
Interest on the Fixed Account. An allocation of Policy Value to the Fixed Account does not entitle you to share in the investment experience of the general account. Instead, we guarantee that the Policy Value in the Fixed Account will accrue interest daily at an effective annual rate of at least 3%, without regard to the actual investment experience of the general account. We may declare a current interest rate in excess of the guaranteed rate, subject to change at any time.

OTHER PROVISIONS OF THE POLICY

Policy Owner Rights

Unless otherwise restricted by a separate agreement, you may:

  • Vary the premiums paid under the policy.
  • Change the death benefit Option.
  • Change the premium allocation for future premiums.
  • Transfer amounts between sub-accounts.
  • Take loans and/or partial withdrawals.
  • Surrender the contract.
  • Transfer ownership to a new owner.
  • Name a contingent owner that will automatically become owner if you die before the Life Insured.
  • Change or revoke a contingent owner.
  • Change or revoke a beneficiary.
Assignment of Rights. We will not be bound by an assignment until we receive a copy of the assignment at the Service Office. We assume no responsibility for the validity or effects of any assignment.

Beneficiary

You may appoint one or more beneficiaries of the policy by naming them in the application. Beneficiaries may be appointed in three classes — primary, secondary, and final. Beneficiaries may also be revocable or irrevocable. Unless an irrevocable designation has been elected, you may change the beneficiary during the Life Insured’s lifetime by giving written notice in a form satisfactory to us. If the Life Insured dies and there is no surviving beneficiary, you, or your estate if you are the Life Insured, will be the beneficiary. If a beneficiary dies before the seventh day after the death of the Life Insured, we will pay the insurance benefit as if the beneficiary had died before the Life Insured.

Incontestability

We will not contest the validity of a policy after it has been in force during the Life Insured’s lifetime for two years from the Issue Date stated in the policy, nor will we contest the validity of an increase in Face Amount after it has been in force during the Life Insured’s lifetime for two years. If a policy has been reinstated, we can contest any misrepresentation of a fact material to the reinstatement for a period of two years after the reinstatement date.

Misstatement of Age or Sex

If the Life Insured’s stated age or sex or both in the policy are incorrect, we will change the Face Amount so that the death benefit will be that which the most recent monthly charge for the cost of insurance would have purchased for the correct age and sex.

Suicide Exclusion

If the Life Insured, whether sane or insane, dies by suicide within two years from the Issue Date stated in the policy (or within the maximum period permitted by the state in which the policy was delivered, if less than two years), we will pay only
the premiums paid less any partial withdrawals and any Policy Debt. If the Life Insured should die by suicide within two years after a Face Amount increase, the death benefit for the increase will be limited to the monthly deductions for the increase. At our discretion, this provision may be waived.

Supplementary Benefits

Subject to certain requirements, one or more supplementary benefits may be added to a policy, including the FTIO Rider (see “Death Benefits  —  Flexible term Insurance Option Rider”) and, in the case of a policy owned by a corporation or other similar entity, a benefit permitting a change in the Life Insured (a taxable event). More detailed information concerning these supplementary benefits may be obtained from us. There is no cost for any supplementary benefit currently offered by us, with the exception of FTIO Rider (see “Charges and Deductions  —  Monthly Deductions”).

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.)

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 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.

Moreover, under a policy insuring a single life, if there is a reduction in benefits (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 a survivorship policy, a reduction in benefits under the policy at any time will require re-testing. For such a policy the 7-pay limit will generally be recalculated based on the reduced benefits and the policy will be re-tested, using the lower limit, from the date it was issued.

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.

OTHER INFORMATION

Payment of Proceeds

As long as the policy is in force, we will ordinarily pay any policy loans, surrenders, partial withdrawals or insurance benefit within seven days after receipt at the Service Office of all the documents required for such a payment. We will ordinarily pay any death benefit, withdrawal, surrender value or loan within 7 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 7 days after the date we receive documentation of the insured person’s death, we will pay the proceeds as a single sum.

We may delay the payment of any policy loans, surrenders, partial withdrawals, or insurance benefit that depends on Fixed Account values for up to six months or in the case of any Investment Account for any period during which (i) the New York Stock Exchange is closed for trading (except for normal weekend and holiday closings), (ii) trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted (iii) an emergency exists, as determined by the SEC, as a result of which disposal of securities held in the Separate Account is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable to determine the value of the Separate Account’s net assets or (iv) the SEC, by order, so permits for the protection of security holders; provided that applicable rules and regulations of the SEC shall govern as to whether the conditions described in (ii) and (iii) exist.

Reports to Policyholders

Within 30 days after each Policy Anniversary, we will send you a statement showing, among other things:

  • the amount of death benefit;
  • the Policy Value and its allocation among the Investment Accounts, the Fixed Account and the Loan Account;
  • the value of the units in each Investment Account to which the Policy Value is allocated;
  • the Policy Debt and any loan interest charged since the last report;
  • the premiums paid and other policy transactions made during the period since the last report; and
  • any other information required by law.

You will also be sent an annual and a semi-annual report for the portfolios, which will include a list of the securities, held in each portfolio as required by the 1940 Act.

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 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 15% of the target premium paid in the first policy year, 9.0% of the target premium in years 2-5, and 2.5% of the target premium paid in years 6 and after. Compensation on any premium paid in excess of target premium in any year will not exceed 2.5%. 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 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.

Responsibilities of John Hancock USA

John Hancock USA entered into an agreement with JH Distributors pursuant to which John Hancock USA, on behalf of JH Distributors will pay the sales commissions in respect of the policies and certain other policies issued by John Hancock USA, prepare and maintain all books and records required to be prepared and maintained by JH Distributors with respect to the policies and such other policies, and send all confirmations required to be sent by JH Distributors with respect to the policies and such other policies. JH Distributors will promptly reimburse John Hancock USA for all sales commissions paid by John Hancock USA and will pay John Hancock USA for its other services under the agreement in such amounts and at such times as agreed to by the parties.

Finally, John Hancock USA may, from time to time in its sole discretion, enter into one or more reinsurance agreements with other life insurance companies under which policies issued by it may be reinsured, such that its total amount at risk under a policy would be limited for the life of the insured.

Voting Rights

As stated previously, all of the assets held in each sub-account of the Separate Account will be invested in shares of a particular portfolio. John Hancock USA is the legal owner of those shares and as such has the right to vote upon certain matters that are required by the 1940 Act to be approved or ratified by the shareholders of a mutual fund and to vote upon any other matters that may be voted upon at a shareholders’ meeting. However, John Hancock USA will vote shares held in the sub-accounts in accordance with instructions received from policyholders having an interest in such sub-accounts. Shares held in each sub-account for which no timely instructions from policyholders are received, including shares not attributable to the policies, will be voted by John Hancock USA in the same proportion as those shares in that sub-account for which instructions are received. Should the applicable federal securities laws or regulations change so as to permit John Hancock USA to vote shares held in the Separate Account in its own right, it may elect to do so.

The number of shares in each sub-account for which instructions may be given by a policyholder is determined by dividing the portion of the Policy Value derived from participation in that sub-account, if any, by the value of one share of the corresponding portfolio. The number will be determined as of a date chosen by John Hancock USA, but not more than 90 days before the shareholders’ meeting. Fractional votes are counted. Voting instructions will be solicited in writing at least 14 days prior to the meeting.

John Hancock USA may, if required by state officials, disregard voting instructions if such instructions would require shares to be voted so as to cause a change in the sub-classification or investment policies of one or more of the portfolios, or to approve or disapprove an investment management contract. In addition, we may disregard voting instructions that would require changes in the investment policies or investment adviser, provided that we reasonably disapprove such changes in accordance with applicable federal regulations. If John Hancock USA does disregard voting instructions, it will advise policyholders of that action and its reasons for such action in the next communication to policyholders.

Substitution of Portfolio Shares

It is possible that in the judgment of the Company, one or more of the portfolios may become unsuitable for investment by the Separate Account because of a change in investment policy or a change in the applicable laws or regulations, because the shares are no longer available for investment, or for some other reason. In that event, John Hancock USA may seek to substitute the shares of another portfolio or of an entirely different mutual fund. Before this can be done, the approval of the SEC and one or more state insurance departments may be required.

John Hancock USA also reserves the right (i) to combine other Separate Accounts with the Separate Account, (ii) to create new Separate Accounts, (iii) to establish additional sub-accounts within the Separate Account to invest in additional portfolios of the Trust or another management investment company, (iv) to eliminate existing sub-accounts and to stop accepting new allocations and transfers into the corresponding portfolio, (v) to combine sub-accounts or to transfer assets in one sub-account to another sub-account or (vi) to transfer assets from the Separate Account to another Separate Account and from another Separate Account to the Separate Account. We also reserve the right to operate the Separate Account as a management investment company or other form permitted by law, and to de-register the Separate Account under the 1940 Act. Any such change would be made only if permissible under applicable federal and state law.

Records and Accounts

Our Service Office is responsible for performing all administrative functions, such as decreases, increases, surrender and partial withdrawals, and fund transfers although certain of these functions may be delegated to a third party administrator.

All records and accounts relating to the Separate Account and the portfolios will be maintained by us. All financial transactions will be handled by us. All reports required to be made and information required to be given will be provided the Company or by McCamish Systems on behalf of us.

State Regulation

John Hancock USA is subject to the regulation and supervision by the Michigan Department of Insurance, which periodically examines its financial condition and operations. It is also subject to the insurance laws and regulations of all jurisdictions in which it is authorized to do business. The policies have been filed with insurance officials in each jurisdiction where they are sold.

John Hancock USA is required to submit annual statements of its operations, including financial statements, to the insurance departments of the various jurisdictions in which it does business for the purposes of determining solvency and compliance with local insurance laws and regulations.

Financial statements reference

The financial statements of John Hancock USA and the Account can be found in the Statement of Additional Information. The financial statements of John Hancock USA should be distinguished from the financial statements of the Account and should be considered only as bearing upon the ability of John Hancock USA to meet its obligations under the policies. Our general account is comprised of securities and other investments, the value of which may decline during periods of adverse market conditions.

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.

Services

Administration of policies issued by John Hancock USA and of registered separate accounts organized by John Hancock USA may be provided by other affiliates. Neither John Hancock USA nor the separate accounts are assessed any charges for such services.

Custodianship and depository services for the Registrant are provided by State Street Investment Services (“State Street”). State Street’s address is 2 Avenue De Lafayette, LCC5N, Boston, Massachusetts, 02111.

Independent registered public accounting firm

The consolidated financial statements of John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) at December 31, 2011 and 2010, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011, and the financial statements of John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) Separate Account N at December 31, 2011, and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2011, appearing in the 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 in the Statement of Additional Information, 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.

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 2011, 2010, and 2009 was $158,741,294, $145,301,936 and $152,873,991 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 15% of the target premium paid in the first policy year, 9.0% of the target premium in years 2-5, and 2.5% of the target premium paid in years 6 and after. Compensation on any premium paid in excess of target premium in any year will not exceed 2.5%.

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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors

John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.)

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) (the Company) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, 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, 2011. 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, 2011 and 2010, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, in 2011 the Company changed its method of accounting and reporting for separate accounts, in 2010 the Company changed its method of accounting and reporting for variable interest entities, and in 2009 the Company changed its method of accounting and reporting for other-than-temporary impairments on debt securities.

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 Financial Corporation (“JHFC”) (formerly known as John Hancock Holdings (Delaware) (“JHH”)), 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 JHH, 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 JHH. As a result of the merger, MHDLLC ceased to exist, and the company’s property and obligations became the property and obligations of JHH.

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 year ended December 31, 2009 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. The Company classifies its fixed maturities held-for-trading portfolio at fair value as a result of electing the fair value option under ASC 825, “Financial Instruments”. 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 is on an effective yield basis and is 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. The Company classifies its equity securities as either available-for-sale or held-for-trading and records these securities 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. Unrealized investment gains and losses related to held-for-trading securities are reflected in net realized investment and other gains (losses). Equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values 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, or when loans are considered impaired, 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 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. Interest received on other mortgage loans that are on non-accrual status is recorded as interest income. 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, credit, and other market risks arising from on-balance sheet financial instruments and selected anticipated transactions. 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. 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.

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).

For derivatives that are designated as hedging instruments, changes in fair value are recognized according to the nature of the risks being hedged, as discussed below.

Fair Value Hedges. 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.

Cash Flow Hedges. 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 unlikely to occur.

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. 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 on April 28, 2004 (the “acquisition date”). 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.

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 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.

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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

 

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 discussions regarding goodwill impairments recorded during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, see Note 4 — Goodwill, Value of Business Acquired, and Other Intangible Assets.

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs, Deferred Sales Inducements, and Unearned Revenue. Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs (“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.

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.

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. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009 there were no gains or losses on transfers of assets from the general account to the separate account.

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 34% and 35% of the Company’s traditional life net insurance in-force at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and 76%, 77%, and 81% of the Company’s traditional life net insurance premiums for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, 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.

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:

     2011      2010

Total policyholders’ funds

       $ 7,162       $ 8,308

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 10 — 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.

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. In accordance with the income tax sharing agreements in effect for the applicable tax years, the Company’s income tax provision (or benefit) is computed as if the Company 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 agreement. 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.

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.

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

 

Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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,” (“ASU 2009-17”) 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.

The Company also adopted ASU No. 2010-10, “Consolidation — Amendments for Certain Investment Funds,” (“ASU 2010-10”) 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 these amendments 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.

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,” (“ASU 2010-15”) which amends ASC Topic 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 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2011. Adoption of this guidance resulted in deconsolidation of $983 million of separate account assets, offset by deconsolidation of $983 million of separate account liabilities.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairments

Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted FSP No. FAS 115-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,” (FSP FAS 115-2”) 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 FSP FAS 115-2, 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.

Multiemployer Pension Plans

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-09, “Disclosures about an Employer’s Participation in a Multiemployer Plan” (“ASU 2011-09”) which amends ASC Subtopic 715-80, “Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Multiemployer Plans.” For a subsidiary participating in the pension plan of its parent, the revised standard requires the disclosure of the name of the plan in which the subsidiary participates and the amount of contributions it made. This guidance became effective as of December 15, 2011 and has been applied retrospectively. The adoption of ASU 2011-09 did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Future Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs

In October 2010, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to accounting for costs associated with acquiring or renewing insurance contracts, ASU No. 2010-26, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts” (“ASU 2010-26”) which amends ASC Topic 944, “Financial Services-Insurance” (“ASC 944”). The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. ASU No. 2010-26 modifies the definition of the types of costs incurred by insurance entities that can be capitalized in the acquisition of new and renewal contracts. This guidance will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2012 and adopted retrospectively, as permitted by the standard. The Company expects the cumulative effect upon adoption will result in a reduction to DAC with a corresponding reduction to opening retained earnings for the earliest period presented, January 1, 2010, of $596 million, net of tax.

Fair Value Measurements

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS” (“ASU 2011-04”) which amends ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements”. The key changes in measurement principles include limiting the concepts of highest and best use and valuation premise to nonfinancial assets, providing a framework for considering whether a premium or discount can be applied in a fair value measurement, and aligning the fair value measurement of instruments classified within an entity’s shareholders’ equity with the guidance for liabilities. Disclosures will be required for all transfers between Levels 1 and 2 within the valuation hierarchy, the use of a nonfinancial asset measured at fair value if its use differs from its highest and best use, the level in the valuation hierarchy of assets and liabilities not recorded at fair value but for which fair value is required to be disclosed, and for Level 3 measurements, quantitative information about unobservable inputs used, a description of the valuation processes used, and qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements. The Company will adopt the revised accounting standard effective January 1, 2012 via prospective adoption, as required. When adopted, ASU 2011-04 is not expected to materially impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Comprehensive Income

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”), and in December 2011 issued ASU No. 2011-12, “Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassification of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05” (“ASU 2011-12”) both of which amend ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”. These standards require entities to present items of net income and other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement, or in separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. The new requirements do not change which components of comprehensive income are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income, or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. However, the current option under existing standards to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity is eliminated. These standards are effective retrospectively beginning January 1, 2012. When adopted, ASU 2011-05 and ASU 2011-12 are not expected to impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Goodwill Impairment Testing

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, “Testing for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU 2011-08”) which amends ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other”. ASU 2011-08 is intended to simplify how a company tests goodwill for impairment by giving companies the option to perform a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit. Under the guidance in ASU 2011-08, if this option is selected, a company is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The provisions of ASU 2011-08 are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. When adopted, ASU 2011-08 is not expected to materially impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

In December 2011, the FASB released ASU No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”) which amends ASC Topic 210, “Balance Sheet”. ASU 2011-11 requires companies to provide new disclosures about offsetting and related arrangements for financial instruments and derivatives. The provisions of ASU 2011-11 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and are required to be applied retrospectively. When adopted, ASU 2011-11 is not expected to materially impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

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.

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 AOCI 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 increased to $619 million at December 31, 2011 from $464 million at December 31, 2010.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were 919 and 1,138 available-for-sale fixed maturity securities with an aggregate gross unrealized loss of $1,015 million and $1,537 million, respectively, of which the single largest unrealized loss was $31 million and $198 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, 2011 and 2010, there were 125 and 73 equity securities with an aggregate gross unrealized loss of $10 million and $3 million, respectively, of which the single largest unrealized loss was $2 million and $1 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 $464 million were non-income producing for the year ended December 31, 2011. Non-income producing assets represent investments that have not produced income for the 12 months preceding December 31, 2011.

Securities Lending

The Company participated in a securities lending program for the purpose of enhancing income on securities. There were no securities on loan and no collateral held as of December 31, 2011 and 2010. 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, 2011 and 2010, fixed maturity securities with a fair value of $36 million and $34 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:

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. Charge-offs are deducted from the allowance for probable losses.

Mortgage loans with a carrying value of $119 million were non-income producing for the year ended December 31, 2011. Mortgage loans with a carrying value of $119 million were on nonaccrual status at December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2011, mortgage loans with a carrying value of $89 million were delinquent by less than 90 days and $60 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:

Investment Real Estate, Agriculture, and Timber

Investment real estate, agriculture, and timber of $146 million was non-income producing for the year ended December 31, 2011. Depreciation expense on investment real estate, agriculture, and timber was $69 million, $63 million, and $53 million in 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. Accumulated depreciation was $514 million and $467 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, 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 $4,000 million and $3,571 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Net investment income on investments accounted for under the equity method totaled $217 million, $199 million, and $78 million in 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. Total combined assets of such investments were $55,077 million and $46,563 million (consisting primarily of investments) and total combined liabilities were $16,482 million and $14,546 million (including $10,547 million and $8,911 million of debt) at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Total combined revenues and expenses of these investments in 2011 were $3,683 million and $4,759 million, respectively, resulting in $1,076 million of total combined loss from operations. 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. Total combined revenues and expenses of these investments in 2009 were $4,199 million and $4,075 million, respectively, resulting in $124 million of total combined income from operations. Depending on the timing of receipt of the audited financial statements of these other invested assets, the above investee level financial data may be up to one year in arrears.

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.

(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.

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 below its carrying amount. A reporting unit is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment. In 2011, the Company impaired $500 million of goodwill associated with the Wealth Management segment. In 2010, the Company impaired the entire $1,600 million of goodwill associated with the Insurance segment. The impairments were reflective of the decrease in the expected future earnings for these businesses. The fair values were determined primarily using an earnings-based approach, which incorporated the segments’ 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.

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. The Company reported a reinsurance recoverable from JHRECO for ceded reserves and cost of reinsurance of ($122) million and ($102) million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, the Company reported a reinsurance payable to JHRECO of $35 million and $23 million, which was included with amounts due from and held for affiliates on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Premiums ceded to JHRECO were $93 million, $1 million, and $47 million during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. Claims incurred ceded to JHRECO were $520 million, $465 million, and $476 million during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.

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 and a modified coinsurance basis where the related financial assets remain invested with the Company. 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 funds withheld from JHRECO of $5,439 million and $4,784 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and recorded reinsurance recoverable from JHRECO of $5,981 million and $5,414 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Premiums ceded to JHRECO were $609 million, $625 million, and $644 million during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. Claims incurred ceded to JHRECO were $271 million, $245 million, and $207 million during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.

Note 6 — Related Party Transactions - (continued)

 

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. 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 paid by MRBL and is 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 $1,308 million and $1,563 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, 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. Since the inception of the treaty in 2008, several amendments have been enacted to refine certain aspects of the treaty. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, the Company reported a reinsurance recoverable (payable) for ceded reserves and cost of reinsurance of ($205) million and $1,595 million. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, the Company reported a coinsurance funds withheld liability of $0 million and $72 million on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, the Company reported a reinsurance receivable from MRBL of $47 million and $180 million, which was included with amounts due from and held for affiliates. 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, 2011 and 2010 were $2,463 million and $2,298 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 $457 million, $412 million, and $394 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had amounts payable to MFC and MLI of $11 million and amounts receivable from MFC and MLI of $1 million, respectively.

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

Debt Transactions

Pursuant to subordinated surplus notes dated September 30, 2008, the Company borrowed $405 million from an affiliate, John Hancock Insurance Agency, Inc. (“JHIA”). The interest rate is fixed at 7%, and interest is payable semi-annually. The notes mature on March 31, 2033. Interest expense was $29 million for each of the three years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009.

On December 22, 2006, the Company issued a subordinated note to MHDLLC in the amount of $136 million due December 15, 2016 (the “Original Note”). On September 30, 2008, the Original Note was converted to a subordinated surplus note on the same economic terms. Pursuant to the merger of MHDLLC into JHFC, as discussed in Note 1, MHDLLC ceased to exist, and the loan was transferred to JHFC effective December 31, 2009. Interest on the subordinated surplus note from October 1, 2008 until December 15, 2011 accrued at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 0.3% per annum calculated and reset quarterly on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 and payable semi-annually on March 31 and September 30 of each year. Thereafter, interest accrues at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.3% per annum reset quarterly as aforementioned and payable semi-annually on June 15 and September 15 of each year until payment in full. Interest expense was $0 million, $1 million, and $2 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.

The issuance of the above surplus notes by the Company was approved by the Michigan Commissioner of Financial and Insurance Regulation (the “Commissioner”), and any payments of interest or principal on the surplus notes require the prior approval of the Commissioner. The surplus notes are included with amounts due to affiliates on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Pursuant to a demand note dated September 30, 2008, the Company loaned $295 million to JHFS. Pursuant to the merger of JHFS into MIC, as discussed in Note 1, JHFS ceased to exist and the loan was transferred to MIC effective December 31, 2009. The interest rate is calculated at a fluctuating rate equal to 3-month LIBOR plus 0.83% per annum. Interest income was $3 million, $3 million, and $4 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.

On December 28, 2011, the Company issued a promissory note to Manulife Management Services Limited (“MMSL”) in the amount of $200 million. Interest on the loan is calculated at a fluctuating rate equal to LIBOR plus 0.1% per annum calculated and reset monthly and payable at maturity. Interest expense was $0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.

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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“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.

For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, benefits to policyholders under life, health, and annuity ceded reinsurance contracts were $2,770 million, $2,597 million, and $2,579 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.

On July 1, 2011, the Company paid $159 million in fees to affiliates related to the recapture of Life Retrocession business reserves and net liabilities of $103 million from Manulife Reinsurance Limited and Manufacturers Life Insurance Company (Barbados Branch) resulting in a decrease to net income of $170 million, net of tax.

Subsequent to the recapture transactions above, the Company entered into a 100% coinsurance treaty with Pacific Life Insurance Company effective July 1, 2011. This treaty facilitated the transfer of Life Retrocession business reserves and net liabilities of $655 million, cash of $199 million and miscellaneous assets of $30 million resulting in a pre-tax gain of $426 million, which was deferred and included in reinsurance recoverable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. This gain is amortized on a straight line basis over 10 years. Gain amortization for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $21 million.

Note 8 — 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 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

 

Note 8 — 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.

Credit Default Swaps. The Company manages credit risk through the issuance of credit default swaps (“CDS”). A credit default swap is a derivative instrument representing an agreement between two parties to exchange the credit risk of a single specified entity or an index based on the credit risk of a group of entities (all commonly referred to as the “reference entity” or a portfolio of “reference entities”), in return for a periodic premium. CDS contracts typically have a five-year term.

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.

The table below provides a summary of the gross notional amount and fair value of derivatives contracts by the underlying risk exposure for all derivatives in hedging and non-hedging relationships:

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.

For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, 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, 2011, the Company had no hedges of firm commitments.

The following tables show 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 year ended December 31, 2010, all of the Company’s hedged forecast transactions qualified as cash flow hedges. For the year ended December 31, 2011 certain cash flow hedges were discontinued because it was no longer probable that the original forecasted transactions would occur by the end of the originally specified time period documented at inception of the hedging relationship. In 2011, the Company completed a comprehensive review of its projections of future cash flows related to hedging activity for its long-term care business. As a result of the continued volatility in interest rates and current trends within long-term care, the Company de-designated $3.9 billion (notional principal) of forward-starting interest rate swaps. The accumulated other comprehensive income related to these de-designated swaps continues to be deferred because the forecasted transactions are still possible of occurring. The deferred OCI related to the de-designated swaps amounted to $432 million, net of tax, as of December 31, 2011. If the forecasted transaction does occur, this amount will be reclassified to earnings in the periods during which variability in the cash flows hedged or the hedged forecasted transaction is recognized in earnings. If the forecasted transaction becomes unlikely, the amount will be reclassified to earnings in that period.

The following tables present the effects of derivatives in cash flow hedging relationships on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholder’s Equity and Comprehensive Income (Loss):

Note 8 — Derivatives and Hedging Instruments - (continued)

 

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, 2011, 2010, and 2009, net gains and losses related to derivatives in a non-hedge relationship were recognized by the Company, and the components were recorded in net realized investment and other gains (losses) as follows:

Credit Default Swaps

The Company replicates exposure to specific issuers by selling credit protection via credit default swaps (“CDSs”) in order to complement its cash bond investing. The Company does not employ leverage in its CDS program and therefore, does not write CDS protection in excess of its government bond holdings.

The following table provides details of the credit default swap protection sold by type of contract and external agency rating for the underlying reference security, as of December 31, 2011. The Company did not sell any credit default swaps for the year ended December 31, 2010.

1 The rating agency designations are based on S&P where available followed by Moody’s, DBRS, and Fitch. If no rating is available from a rating agency, then an internally developed rating is used.
2 Notional amount represents the maximum future payments the Company would have to pay its counterparties assuming a default of the underlying credit and zero recovery on the underlying issuer obligation.
3 The weighted average maturity of the credit default swaps is weighted based on notional amounts.

The Company also purchased credit protection with a total notional amount of $31 million and a fair value of $1 million. The average credit rating of the counterparties guaranteeing the underlying credit is A+ and the weighted average maturity is 5.5 years. The Company did not purchase any credit protection for the year ended December 31, 2010.

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 16 — 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, 2011 and 2010, the Company accepted collateral consisting of cash of $1,446 million and $0, and various securities with a fair value of $5,591 million and $824 million, respectively, which is held in separate custodial accounts. In addition, as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company pledged collateral of $134 million and $690 million, respectively, which is included in available-for-sale fixed maturities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 9 — 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 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:

     174         156   

Average attained age of contract holders

     52         51   

Many of the variable annuity contracts issued by the Company offer various guaranteed minimum death, income, and/or withdrawal benefits. 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 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.

Note 9 — Certain Separate Accounts - (continued)

 

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 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, 2011 and 2010:

 

   

Data used included 1,000 stochastically generated investment performance scenarios. For the GMIB reinsurance recoverable and non-life contingent GMWB gross reserve 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 for 2011 was based on the Ruark table (2010 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 0.5% to 40%.

 

   

The discount rates used in the GMDB gross and ceded reserves, the GMIB gross reserves, and the life contingent portion of the GMWB reserve calculations range from 6.4% to 7%. The discount rates used in the GMIB reinsurance recoverable and non-life contingent GMWB gross reserve 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 10 — 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, 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. The policyholder dividend obligation for the JHLICO and JHUSA closed blocks was zero at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Note 10 — 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:

Long-Term Debt

Aggregate maturities of long-term debt are as follows: 2012—$11 million; 2013—$0 million; 2014—$28 million; 2015—$0 million; 2016—$58 million; and thereafter—$541 million.

Interest expense on debt, included in other operating costs and expenses, was $49 million, $47 million, and $34 million in 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. Interest paid on debt was $52 million, $47 million, and $34 million in 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.

Any payment of interest or principal on the surplus notes requires the prior approval of the Commissioner.

Consumer Notes

The Company issues consumer notes through its SignatureNotes program. SignatureNotes is an investment product sold through a broker-dealer network to retail customers in the form of publicly traded fixed and/or floating rate securities. SignatureNotes have a variety of maturities, interest rates, and call provisions.

Aggregate maturities of consumer notes, net of unamortized dealer fees, are as follows: 2012—$110 million; 2013—$56 million; 2014—$234 million; 2015—$147 million; 2016—$66 million; and thereafter—$197 million.

The alternative minimum tax credits do not have an expiration date.

The Company has not recorded a valuation allowance with respect to the realizability of its deferred tax assets. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management considered the future reversal of taxable temporary differences, future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences, taxable income in the carry back period, as well as tax planning strategies. Tax planning strategies were considered to the extent they were both prudent and feasible and if implemented, would result in the realization of deferred tax assets. Based on management’s assessment of all available information, management believes that it is more likely than not the Company will realize the full benefit of its deferred tax assets.

In 2011, the Company received income tax refunds of $181 million from affiliates under the terms of its inter-company tax-sharing agreement and income tax refunds of $20 million from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). In 2010, the Company received income tax refunds of $60 million from affiliates under the inter-company tax sharing agreement and made income tax payments of $29 million to the IRS.

Note 12 — Income Taxes - (continued)

 

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and local jurisdictions. The Company is under continuous examination with the IRS. 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. As described above, in 2010, the Company’s common parent, MHDLLC merged into JHFC resulting in a new consolidated group. The returns for the new combined group beginning in tax year 2010 have not yet been examined by the IRS. With respect to the legacy MHDLLC consolidated return group, the IRS audit for tax years prior to 2004 have been closed with the exception of an outstanding claim for refund; tax years 2004 through 2007 are in IRS appeals and tax years 2008 through 2009 are currently under examination by the IRS. The MHDLLC legacy group filed its final consolidated tax return in 2009. With respect to the legacy JHFC group, the IRS has completed its examinations of tax years 1997 through 2001. The IRS has issued statutory notices of deficiency relating to issues in these years. The Company filed a petition in U.S. Tax Court to contest and the trial was completed in 2011. These years will remain open until the Tax Court case is resolved. For tax years 2002 through 2006, the legacy JHFC group is currently in appeals. JHFC tax returns for all subsequent years have not yet been examined. Management believes that adequate provision has been made in the financial statements for potential assessments relating to all open tax years.

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

 

     December 31,  
     2011     2010  
  

 

 

 
     (in millions)  

Balance, beginning of year

       $   2,396          $   2,161   

Additions based on tax positions related to the current year

     212        202   

Additions for tax positions of prior years

     10        177   

Reductions for tax positions of prior years

     (6     (144
  

 

 

 

Balance, end of year

       $   2,612          $   2,396   
  

 

 

 

Included in the balances as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, are $387 million and $338 million of unrecognized benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. Included in the balances as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, are $2,225 million and $2,058 million of tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. Excluding the effect of interest and penalties, this will have no impact on the annual effective rate, but would accelerate the payment of taxes to an earlier period.

The Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits may decrease in the next twelve months pending the outcome of remaining issues associated with the 1997 through 2004 IRS audit. A reasonable estimate of the decrease cannot be determined at this time however, the Company believes that the ultimate resolution will not result in a material change to its consolidated financial statements.

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, 2011, 2010, and 2009, the Company recognized approximately $161 million, $166 million, and $224 million in interest expense, respectively. The Company had approximately $1,191 million and $1,030 million accrued for interest as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Penalties were less than $1 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009.

Note 13 — 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 $2,048 million and $144 million, respectively, at December 31, 2011. 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. Approximately half of these commitments expire in 2012, and the remainder expire by 2016.

The Company leases office space under non-cancelable operating lease agreements of various expiration dates. Rental expenses, net of sub-lease income, were $20 million, $24 million, and $26 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, 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:

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, 2011.

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, 2011 and 2010, the Company increased this provision by $0 million and $94 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 $240 million at December 31, 2011.

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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

 

Note 15 — Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

Prior to December 31, 2010, the Company accounted for its share of the John Hancock Pension Plan, a qualified defined benefit plan, and the John Hancock Non-Qualified Pension Plan, a non-qualified defined benefit plan (collectively, “the Plans”), and the John Hancock Employee Welfare Plan (the “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 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.

Prior to December 31, 2010, the Company sponsored the John Hancock Pension 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 and 2009 no contributions were made to the qualified plan.

Prior to December 31, 2010, the Company also sponsored the John Hancock Non-Qualified Pension Plan. 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 the John Hancock Non-Qualified Pension 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 and $34 million in 2010 and 2009, respectively.

As of the transfer date, the assets and liabilities of the 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 allocation from MIC of the required contributions to the plans as pension expense in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. The allocation is derived by utilizing participant data, provided by the plan actuary, to calculate payments into the trust for the qualified plan and payments to participants for the non-qualified plan. Prior to 2011, pension expense was the net periodic benefit cost incurred for these plans as determined by the plan actuary and consistent with actuarial practice for a plan sponsor. The expense (benefit) for the Plans was $41 million, $7 million and ($16) million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The components of the $7 million in 2010 consisted of $32 million service cost, $124 million interest cost, ($161) million expected return on plan assets, ($3) million amortization of prior service cost and $15 million recognized actuarial loss. The components of the ($16) million in 2009 consisted of $30 million service cost, $128 million interest cost, ($175) million expected return on plan assets, ($3) million amortization of prior service cost and $4 million recognized actuarial loss. In 2010, benefits paid related to the qualified deferred benefit plan and the non-qualified plan were $175 million.

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 MIC 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.

Note 15 — Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans - (continued)

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 the Welfare Plan in amounts at or below the annual tax qualified limits. The contribution to the Welfare Plan was $48 million and $54 million in 2010 and 2009, respectively.

As of the transfer date, the liabilities of the Welfare Plan became direct obligations of MIC, while JHUSA became a participating employer in the plan. Prospectively, the Company will remain jointly and severally liable for the funding requirements of the Welfare Plan and will recognize its allocation from MIC of the benefits paid on behalf of plan participants as postretirement benefits expense in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. The allocation is derived by utilizing participant data to calculate claim payments relating to participants in these plans. Prior to 2011, the Welfare Plan expense was the net periodic benefit cost incurred for these plans as determined by the plan actuary and consistent with actuarial practice for a plan sponsor. The expense for this plan was $46 million, $3 million, and $8 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The components of the $3 million in 2010 consisted of $1 million service cost, $28 million interest cost and ($26) million expected return on plan assets. The components of the $8 million in 2009 consisted of $1 million service cost, $33 million interest cost and ($26) million expected return on plan assets.

The Company participates in the John Hancock Supplemental Retirement Plan, 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 $6 million, $8 million, and $7 million in 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. 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 MIC 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. Expense for these plans is primarily comprised of the amounts the Company contributes to the plans, which fully matches eligible participants’ basic pre-tax or Roth contributions, subject to a 4% per participant maximum. The expense for these defined contribution plans was $19 million, $18 million, and $19 million in 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.

Assumptions

Weighted-average assumptions used to determine the Company’s net periodic benefit cost for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, when the Company was the sponsor, were as follows:

 

     Years ended December 31,  
     Pension Benefits     Other Postretirement
Benefits
 
  

 

 

 
     2010     2009     2010     2009  
  

 

 

 

Discount rate

     5.50     6.00     5.50     6.00

Expected long-term return on plan assets

     7.75     8.00     7.75     8.00

Rate of compensation increase

     4.35     4.10     N/A        N/A   

Health care cost trend rate for the following year

         8.50     8.50

Ultimate trend rate

         5.00     5.00

Year ultimate rate reached

         2028        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.

(1) Fixed maturities available-for-sale exclude leveraged leases of $1,959 million and $1,932 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company calculates the carrying value of its leveraged leases by accruing income at its expected internal rate of return.
(2) Other invested assets exclude equity method and cost-accounted investments of $4,078 million and $3,704 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

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 16 — 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 limited partnership interests and goodwill, which are reported at fair value only in the period in which 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. Long-term debt at December 31, 2011 and 2010 includes variable and fixed rate notes related to consolidated variable interest entities.

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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

 

Note 16 — 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 can be 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.

Note 16 — 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 related to GMIB and GMWB 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

 

Note 16 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments - (continued)

 

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 adjusted 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.

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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

 

Note 16 — 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 limited partnership interests and goodwill, which are reported at fair value only in the period in which impairment is recognized. The fair value is calculated using models that are widely accepted in the financial services industry. The Company recorded goodwill impairments of $500 million and $1,600 million during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and the fair value measurement was classified as Level 3. For additional information regarding the impairments, see Note 4 — Goodwill, Value of Business Acquired, and Other Intangible Assets.

Note 17 — 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 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. In 2011, the Company’s remaining international insurance operations were transferred from the Corporate and Other Segment.

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 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 income statement impact of goodwill impairment charges are recorded in this segment. In 2011, the Company’s remaining international insurance operations were transferred to the Insurance Segment.

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 10 — Closed Blocks.

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, 2011, 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, 2011, 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, 2011, 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

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2011

 

1. Organization

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 129 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, 2011. 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 Trust’s 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-accounts of the Account were renamed as follows:

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.

ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure (“ASC 820”) 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.

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:

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

 

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 fair value hierarchy level under ASC 820, as of December 31, 2011.

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 the Company’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 the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as tax expense or benefit.

The Account complies with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. As of December 31, 2011, 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 (“the 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.

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. When no range is given, the lowest and highest values are the same.

(***) 

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. When no range is given, the lowest and highest values are the same.

APPENDIX A: DEFINITIONS
42

The purpose of this variable life insurance policy is to provide insurance protection for the beneficiary named therein. No claim is made that this variable life insurance policy is in any way similar or comparable to a systematic investment plan of a mutual fund.

Examine this prospectus carefully. The Policy Summary will briefly describe the policy. More detailed information will be found further in the prospectus. You should rely on the information contained in this prospectus, the portfolio prospectuses, and the corresponding Statements of Additional Information, which contains the audited financial statements for JHUSA and Separate Account N. The portfolio prospectuses describe the investment objectives, policies and restrictions of, and the risks relating to, investment in the investment options. In the case of any of the portfolios that are operated as “feeder funds,” the prospectus for the corresponding “master fund” is also provided. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with information that is different from the information contained in the aforementioned documents.

SUMMARY OF BENEFITS AND RISKS

Benefits

Some of the benefits of purchasing the policy are described below.

Death Benefit Protection: This prospectus describes a flexible premium variable life insurance policy, which provides for a death benefit payable to the beneficiary of the policy upon the death of the insured person. Variable life insurance is a flexible tool for financial and investment planning for persons needing death benefit protection. You should consider other forms of investments if death benefit protection is not one of your financial planning objectives, as there are additional costs and expenses in providing the insurance.

Access to Your Policy Values: Your variable life insurance policy offers access to your Policy Value through policy loans, policy surrender and partial withdrawal. There are limitations on partial withdrawals. See “Policy Surrender and Partial Withdrawals” for further information. Policy loans permanently affect the Policy Value, and may also result in adverse tax consequences.

Tax Deferred Accumulation: Variable life insurance has several tax advantages under current tax laws. For example, Policy Value accumulates on a tax-deferred basis and a transfer of values from one sub-account to another within the policy does not generate a taxable gain or loss. Any investment income and realized capital gains within a sub-account or interest from the Fixed Account are automatically reinvested without current income taxation to the policy owner.

Investment Options: In addition to the Fixed Account, the policy provides for access to a number of variable investment options, which permit you to reallocate your Policy Value to meet your changing personal objectives, goals, and investment conditions. Information regarding each investment option may be found in the portfolio prospectuses.

Flexibility: The policy is a flexible premium variable life insurance policy in which varying premium payments are permitted. You may select death benefit options and policy riders. You may increase or decrease the amount of death benefit. You are able to select, monitor, and change investment choices within your policy.

Risks

Some of the risks of purchasing the policy are described below.

Fluctuating Investment Performance: Policy Values invested in a sub-account are not guaranteed. Policy Values will increase and decrease according to investment performance. You assume the investment risk of Policy Value allocated to the sub-accounts. A comprehensive discussion of each sub-account’s objective and risk is found in the portfolio prospectuses. You should review the prospectuses carefully before allocating Policy Values to any sub-accounts.

Unsuitable for Short-Term Investment: The policy is intended for long-term financial planning, and is unsuitable for short-term goals. The policy is not designed to serve as a vehicle for frequent trading.

Policy Lapse: Sufficient premiums must be paid to keep the policy in force. There is a risk of lapse if the Policy Value is too low in relation to the insurance amount, if investment results are less favorable than anticipated or if extensive policy loans are taken. A policy lapse could have adverse tax consequences since the amount received (including any loans) less the investment in the policy may be treated as ordinary income subject to tax. Withdrawals reduce your Policy Value and increase the risk of lapse.

Decreasing Death Benefit: Any outstanding policy loans and any amount that you have surrendered or withdrawn will reduce your policy’s death benefit.

Adverse Consequences of Early Surrender: Depending on the Policy Value at the time of surrender, there may be little or no Net Cash Surrender Value paid to you when the policy is surrendered. In addition, there are adverse consequences associated with partial withdrawals including potential policy lapse and adverse tax consequences. There may also be adverse consequences associated with full surrender of the policy.

Adverse Tax Consequences: You should always consult a tax adviser about the application of federal and state tax law to your individual situation. The federal income tax treatment of life insurance is complex and current tax treatment of life insurance may change.

FEE TABLES

The following tables describe the fees and expenses (on a guaranteed basis) that you will pay when buying, owning, and surrendering the policy. 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 the prospectus disclosure rules. Consequently, the actual rates charged may be slightly higher or lower than those shown. The first table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay at the time that you buy the policy, surrender the policy, or transfer cash value between investment options.

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge Monthly 0.50% annually2
Administration Charge Monthly $12 per Policy Month
Loan Interest Rate (Net) Annually 0.75%3

1 The cost of insurance varies based on individual characteristics and the charges shown in the table may not be representative of the charge a particular policy owner will pay. A policy owner may obtain additional information regarding cost of insurance charge by contacting the Company. The election (or failure to elect) the optional FTIO rider will impact the total cost of insurance charges.

2 Currently the Company is charging the following rates:

Policy Years Annual Rate
1-10 0.45%
11+ 0.25%

3 The Loan Interest Rate (Net) is equal to the rate of interest charged on the policy loan less the interest credited to the Loan Account. Currently this rate is 0.75% for Policy Years 1-10 and 0.25% for Policy Years 11 and higher. The maximum loan rate is 4%.

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% 1.62%

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 1.52%, respectively.

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 portfolios.

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 Global Growth, American Global Small Capitalization, American Growth, American Growth-Income, American High-Income Bond, American International, American New World, Fundamental Holdings and Global Diversification 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 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 Fee Tables.

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.

POLICY SUMMARY

General

The policy is a flexible premium variable universal life insurance policy. This summary provides a general description of the important features of the policy. It is not comprehensive and is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information contained in this prospectus. Unless otherwise stated or implied by the context, the discussions in this prospectus assume that the policy is not in default, that there is no outstanding Policy Debt and the death benefit is not determined by the Minimum

Death Benefit Percentage. Your policy’s provisions may vary in some states and the terms of the policy, and any endorsements or riders, supersede the disclosure in this prospectus.

Death Benefits

The policy provides a death benefit in the event of the death of the Life Insured while the policy is in force. The basic death benefit amount is the Face Amount, which is provided for the lifetime of the Life Insured with no maturity or expiration date. There may be other amounts added to the death benefit as described below.

Flexible Term Insurance Option. You may add a Flexible Term Insurance Option rider (the “FTIO Rider”) to the policy to provide additional term life insurance coverage on the Life Insured. Cost of insurance rates are less than or equal to those of the policy and no sales charge will apply. However, unlike the Face Amount of the policy, the FTIO Rider will terminate at the Life Insured’s Attained Age 100. The FTIO Rider also offers the flexibility to schedule varying death benefit amounts on future dates (the “Scheduled Death Benefits”).

Death Benefit Options. There are two death benefit options. Option 1 provides a death benefit equal to the Face Amount of the policy or, if greater, the Minimum Death Benefit, plus the term insurance benefit of the FTIO option. Option 2 provides a death benefit equal to the Face Amount plus the Policy Value or, if greater, the Minimum Death Benefit, plus the term insurance benefit of the FTIO option. You may change the death benefit option and increase or decrease the Face Amount and Scheduled Death Benefits.

Age 100 Advantage. If the Life Insured is alive on the Policy Anniversary when the Life Insured reaches Attained Age 100, the policy will continue in force subject to the following unless the policy owner chooses to surrender the policy for its Net Cash Surrender Value:

  • the policy will be continued until the earlier of the death of the Life Insured or the date the policy owner surrenders the policy;
  • no additional premium payments will be accepted although loan repayments will be accepted;
  • no additional charges or deductions (described under “Charges and Deductions”) will be assessed;
  • interest on any Policy Debt will continue to accrue;
  • the policy owner may continue to transfer portions of the Policy Value among the Investment Accounts and the Fixed Accounts as described in this prospectus.

Premiums

Premium payments may be made at any time prior to Attained Age 100 and in any amount, subject to certain limitations (see “Premium Payments — Premium Limitations”). Net Premiums will be allocated to one or more of the Fixed Account and the sub-accounts of the Separate Account. You may change allocations and make transfers among the accounts subject to limitations described below.

Policy Value

The Policy Value is the accumulation of premiums paid, less charges and deductions we take for expenses and cost of insurance, plus or minus the investment returns of the accounts to which the Policy Value has been allocated. You may obtain a portion of the Policy Value by taking a policy loan or a partial withdrawal or by full surrender of the policy.

Policy Loans

You may borrow against the Net Cash Surrender Value of the policy. Loan interest will accrue daily and be payable in arrears on each Policy Anniversary. The Policy Debt will be deducted from amounts payable at the Life Insured’s death or upon surrender of the policy.

Surrender and Partial Withdrawals

You may make a partial withdrawal of the Policy Value. It may result in a decrease in the Face Amount and Scheduled Death Benefits. You may surrender the policy for its Net Cash Surrender Value at any time.

Lapse and Reinstatement

Your policy will lapse and terminate without value when the Net Cash Surrender Value is insufficient to pay the next monthly deduction and a grace period of 61 days expires without an adequate premium payment from you. You may reinstate a lapsed policy within five years following lapse if the policy was not surrendered for its Net Cash Surrender Value. Evidence of insurability is required, along with a premium payment described under “Lapse and Reinstatement  —  Reinstatement.”

The policy differs in two important ways from conventional life insurance policies. First, failure to make planned premium payments will not in itself cause the policy to lapse. Second, a policy can lapse even if planned premiums have been paid.

Charges and Deductions

We assess certain charges and deductions in connection with the policy. These include: (i) charges in the form of monthly deductions for the cost of insurance and administrative expenses, (ii) charges assessed daily against amounts in the Investment Account and (iii) charges deducted from premiums paid. These charges are summarized in the Fee Tables.

In addition, there are charges deducted from each portfolio. For more information, please refer to the prospectus for the underlying portfolio.

Reduction in Charges and Enhancement of Surrender Values: The policy is designed for employers and other sponsoring organizations that may purchase multiple policies as a case. The size or nature of the case may result in expected savings of sales, underwriting, administrative or other costs. If so, we expect to offer reductions of policy charges and enhancements of surrender value. We may change the nature and amount of reductions and enhancements available from time to time. They will be determined in a way that is not unfairly discriminatory to policy owners.

Investment Options and Investment Subadvisers

You may allocate Net Premiums to the Fixed Account or to one or more of the sub-accounts of the Separate Account. Each of the sub-accounts invests in the shares of one of the portfolios described in the Table of Investment Options and Investment Subadvisers.

The Table of Investment Options and Investment Subadvisers describes the portfolios and shows the subadvisers that provide investment subadvisory services.

Allocating Net Premiums only to one or a small number of the investment options (other than the Lifestyle Trusts) should not be considered a balanced investment strategy. In particular, allocating Net Premiums to a small number of investment options that concentrate their investments in a particular business or market sector will increase the risk that the value of your policy will be more volatile since these investment options may react similarly to business or market specific events. Examples of business or market sectors where this risk historically has been and may continue to be particularly high include: (a) technology related businesses, including internet related businesses, (b) small cap securities, and (c) foreign securities. The Company does not provide advice regarding appropriate investment allocations. Please discuss this matter with your financial adviser.

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.

ISSUING A POLICY

Use of the Policy

The policy is designed to provide employers or other organizations with life insurance coverage on employees or other individuals in whose lives they have an insurable interest. The policy may be owned by an individual or a corporation, trust, association, or similar entity. The policy may be used for such purposes as funding non-qualified executive deferred compensation or salary continuation liabilities or death benefit liabilities of executive retirement plans, or as a source for funding cash flow obligations under such plans.

Requirements

To purchase a policy, you must submit a completed application. Your policy will not be issued until the underwriting process is completed to our satisfaction.

With our prior approval, the policy may be issued on a basis that does not distinguish between the Life Insured’s sex and/or smoking status. A policy will only be issued on the lives of insureds from Issue Ages 20 through 80.

Each policy has a Policy Date, an Effective Date and an Issue Date (see “Definitions” in Appendix A). The Policy Date is the date from which the first monthly deductions are calculated and from which Policy Years, Policy Months and Policy Anniversaries are determined. The Policy Date is also the effective date of the initial Coverage Amount. The Policy Date is the same date as the Effective Date unless the policy is backdated (see “Backdating a Policy”). The Effective Date is the date we become obligated under the policy and when the first monthly deductions are taken. It is the later of the date we approve issuance of the policy and the date we receive at least the Minimum Initial Premium. The Issue Date is the date from which the Suicide and Incontestability provisions of the policy are determined.

If we approve issuance of a policy before we receive the Minimum Initial Premium then the Effective Date will be later than the Issue Date. The Minimum Initial Premium must be received by us within 60 days after the Issue Date and the Life Insured must be in good health on the Effective Date. If the Minimum Initial Premium is not paid or if the application is rejected, the policy will be canceled and any premiums paid will be returned to the applicant.

Net Premiums received prior to the Effective Date will be credited with interest at the rate of return earned on amounts allocated to the Money Market portfolio. On the Effective Date, Net Premiums received plus any interest credited will be allocated to Investment Accounts and the Fixed Account according to your instructions, unless first allocated to the Money Market portfolio for the duration of the right to examine period (see “Right to Examine the Policy”).

Minimum Face Amount and Scheduled Death Benefit. The minimum Face Amount is $50,000 unless the FTIO Rider is added to the policy. With an FTIO Rider, the minimum Face Amount is $25,000 and the minimum Scheduled Death Benefit is $50,000.

Backdating a Policy. You may request that we backdate the policy by assigning a Policy Date earlier than the date the application is signed. We will not backdate the policy to a date earlier than that allowed by state law, which is generally three months to one year prior to the date of application for the policy. Monthly deductions will be made for the period the Policy Date is backdated.

Temporary Insurance Agreement

Temporary insurance coverage may be provided under the terms of a Temporary Insurance Agreement, subject to our underwriting practices. Generally, temporary life insurance may not exceed $1,000,000 and may not be in effect for more than 90 days. It is issued on a conditional receipt basis, which means that benefits would only be paid if the Life Insured met our usual and customary underwriting standards for the coverage applied for.

Underwriting

The policies are offered on three underwriting classes that require different types and amounts of information from the applicant and prospective Life Insured. Current cost of insurance charges in early Policy Years will vary by the type of underwriting, and charges will generally be lower where underwriting information is more extensive. Under any of the underwriting bases, the acceptance of an application is subject to our underwriting rules and we may request additional information or reject an application for any reason.

Short Form Underwriting. The proposed Life Insured must answer qualifying questions in the application but is not required to provide detailed medical history, submit records or undergo examinations or tests unless requested to do so by us. Availability of short form underwriting depends on characteristics of the case, such as the number of lives to be insured, the amounts of insurance and other factors, and it is generally available only up to Issue Age 65.

Simplified Underwriting. The proposed Life Insured must satisfactorily answer certain health questions in the application and may be required to submit existing medical records, but requirements to undergo examinations and tests are minimized. Availability of simplified underwriting and the nature of the requirements will depend on characteristics of the case and the proposed lives to be insured.

Regular (Medical) Underwriting. Where short form or simplified underwriting is unavailable we require satisfactory evidence of insurability under our regular underwriting guidelines for individual applicants. This may include medical exams and other information. A proposed Life Insured who fails to qualify for a standard risk classification may be eligible to be insured with an additional substandard rating.

Right to Examine the Policy

You may return your policy for a refund within 10 days after you receive it. Some states provide a longer period of time for this right, which will be stated in the policy if applicable. The policy can be mailed or delivered to the Company agent who sold it to you or to our Service Office. Immediately upon such delivery or mailing, the policy shall be deemed void from the beginning. Within seven days after receipt of the returned policy at our Service Office we will refund an amount equal to the value of amounts in the Investment Accounts and the Fixed Account on the date we receive the returned policy, plus all charges deducted prior to that date, not including the fees and expenses of the portfolios, minus any partial withdrawals and policy loans.

Some state laws require the refund of premiums paid without adjustment for investment gains and losses of the Separate Account. In these states, all Net Premiums will be allocated to the Money Market portfolio during the Right to Examine period and the refund amount will be equal to all premiums received less any partial withdrawals and policy loans.

If you request a Face Amount increase that results in new sales charge, you will have the same rights described above to cancel the increase. If canceled the Policy Value and sales charge will be recalculated to be as they would have been had the premiums not been paid.

We reserve the right to delay the refund of any premium paid by check until the check has cleared.

(Applicable to Residents of California Only)

Residents of California, age 60 and greater, may return the policy for a refund at any time within 30 days after receiving it. The policy can be mailed or delivered to the Company’s agent who sold it, or to our Service Office. If you cancel the policy

during this 30 day period and your premiums were allocated to a Fixed Account or the Money Market portfolio, we will refund you the amount of all premiums paid. If your premiums were allocated to one or more of the Investment Accounts (other than the Money Market portfolio), we will refund you the value of amounts in the Investment Accounts and the Fixed Account on the date we receive the returned policy plus all charges deducted prior to that date, not including the fees and expenses of the portfolios, minus any partial withdrawals and policy loans. Your premiums will be placed in either (a) the Fixed Account, (b) the Money Market portfolio or (c) in one or more of the Investment Accounts, based upon your instructions. If no instructions are given, your premiums will be placed in the Money Market portfolio.

Life Insurance Qualification

A policy must satisfy either of two tests to qualify as a life insurance contract as defined in Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). At the time of application, you must choose either the Cash Value Accumulation Test (“CVA Test”) or the Guideline Premium Test (“GP Test”) and the test cannot be changed once the policy is issued.

Cash Value Accumulation Test. The CVA Test requires the death benefit at any time to be at least a certain ratio of the Policy Value, based on prescribed calculations. The Minimum Death Benefit provision described below will ensure that the CVA Test is met. There is no restriction on the amount of premiums you may pay, but we will require you to provide satisfactory evidence of insurability before we accept an amount of premium that would increase the death benefit by more than the increase in Policy Value.

Guideline Premium Test. The GP Test limits the amount of premiums you may pay into the policy, given its death benefit, based on prescribed calculations. In addition, the GP Test requires the death benefit at any time to be at least a prescribed ratio of the Policy Value. These prescribed multiples are generally lower than those calculated under the CVA Test. The Minimum Death Benefit provision described below will ensure that this second requirement is met.

Changes to the policy or FTIO Rider, such as changes in Face Amount, Scheduled Death Benefit, death benefit option or partial withdrawals, may affect the premium limits under the GP Test. Some changes will reduce future premium limits and may cause premiums already paid to exceed the new limits and force you to make a partial withdrawal.

DEATH BENEFITS

If the policy is in force at the time of the Life Insured’s death we will pay an insurance benefit to the beneficiary. The policy may remain in force for the Life Insured’s entire lifetime and there is no specified maturity or expiration date.

Insurance benefits are only payable when we receive due proof of death at our Service Office, in the form of either a certified copy of the death certificate, a certified copy of a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to the finding of death or other proof satisfactory to us.

The amount of the insurance benefit payable will be the death benefit on the date of death, as described below, less any Policy Debt, accrued interest, and outstanding monthly deductions on the date of death. The insurance benefit will be paid in one lump sum unless another form of settlement is agreed to by the beneficiary and us. If the insurance benefit is paid in one sum, we will pay interest from the date of death to the date of payment. If the Life Insured should die after our receipt of a request for surrender, no insurance benefit will be payable, and we will pay only the Net Cash Surrender Value.

Minimum Death Benefit. Both the CVA Test and the GP Test require the death benefit to be at least a prescribed ratio of the Policy Value at all times. The policy’s Minimum Death Benefit ensures that these requirements are met by providing that the death benefit shall be at least equal to the Policy Value multiplied by the applicable Minimum Death Benefit Percentage for the Attained Age of the Life Insured. Tables of Minimum Death Benefit Percentages appear below.

Flexible Term Insurance Option Rider

You may add an FTIO Rider to the policy to provide additional death benefit coverage on the Life Insured. The FTIO Rider provides flexible term life insurance to Attained Age 100 with cost of insurance charges less than or equal to those of the policy. The election of (or failure to elect) the FTIO Rider will impact the total cost of insurance charges. The FTIO Rider will terminate at the earlier of Attained Age 100, the date the policy lapses or is surrendered, and your request to cancel the FTIO Rider.

You may schedule the death benefit amounts that will apply at specified times (the “Scheduled Death Benefits”). Scheduled Death Benefits may be constant or varying from time to time. The Scheduled Death Benefits will be shown in the policy .

The term insurance benefit of the FTIO Rider is equal to (a) minus (b) but not less than zero where:

(a) is the Scheduled Death Benefit for the Policy Month, and

(b) is the Face Amount of the policy or, if greater, the policy’s Minimum Death Benefit.

Even if the term insurance benefit may be zero in a Policy Month, the FTIO Rider will not terminate.

Example. A policy is purchased for an executive as part of an employee benefit plan. The death benefit provided by the policy is to be equal to the executive’s salary of $100,000 increasing at 5% per year through age 64. Assuming the executive is currently 55, the policy will be issued with a Scheduled Death Benefit as follows:

Policy Year Scheduled
Death Benefit
1 100,000
2 105,000
3 110,250
4 115,763
5 121,551
6 127,628
7 134,010
8 140,710
9 147,746
10+ 155,133

The FTIO Rider amount will change each year as necessary to provide the benefits shown in the schedule, as follows:

Policy
Year
Total
Death Benefit
Face
Amount
Flexible Term
Insurance Amount
1 100,000 100,000 0
2 105,000 100,000 5,000
3 110,250 100,000 10,250
4 115,763 100,000 15,763
5 121,551 100,000 21,551
6 127,628 100,000 27,628
7 134,010 100,000 34,010
8 140,710 100,000 40,710
9 147,746 100,000 47,746
10 155,133 100,000 55,133

Death Benefit Options

You may choose either of two death benefit options:

Death Benefit Option 1. The death benefit on any date is the Face Amount of the policy or, if greater, the Minimum Death Benefit, plus the term insurance benefit of the FTIO Rider.

Death Benefit Option 2. The death benefit on any date is the Face Amount plus the Policy Value or, if greater, the Minimum Death Benefit, plus the term insurance benefit of the FTIO Rider.

Changing the Death Benefit Option

You may change the death benefit option at any time. The change will take effect at the beginning of the next Policy Month at least 30 days after your written request is received at our Service Office. We reserve the right to limit changes that could cause the policy to fail to qualify as life insurance for tax purposes.

A change in the death benefit option will result in a change in the Face Amount and Scheduled Death Benefits to avoid any change in the amount of death benefit, as follows:

Change from Option 1 to Option 2. The new Face Amount will be equal to the Face Amount prior to the change less the Policy Value on the date of the change.

The Scheduled Death Benefit amounts for dates on or after the date of the change will be the amounts scheduled prior to the change less the Policy Value on the date of the change.

Coverage Amounts will be reduced or eliminated in the order that they are listed in the policy until the total decrease in coverage amounts equals the decrease in Face Amount.

Example. A policy is issued with a Face Amount of $100,000, death benefit Option 1, and the following schedule:

Policy Year Scheduled
Death Benefit
1 100,000
2 125,000
3 150,000
4 175,000
5+ 200,000

The death benefit option is changed to Option 2 at the beginning of Policy Year 3. If the Policy Value at the time of the change is $10,000, then the Face Amount after the change will be $90,000 (the Face Amount prior to the change less the Policy Value), and the Scheduled Death Benefit after the change will become:

Policy Year Scheduled
Death Benefit
3 140,000
4 165,000
5+ 190,000

Change from Option 2 to Option 1. The new Face Amount will be the Face Amount prior to the change plus the Policy Value on the date of the change (but the new Face Amount will be no greater than the Scheduled Death Benefit on the date of the change).

The resulting Face Amount increase amount will be added to the first Coverage Amount listed in the policy.

The Annual Premium Target for this Coverage Amount will not be increased and new sales charges will not apply, however, for an increase solely due to a change in the death benefit option.

Example. A policy is issued with a Face amount of $100,000, death benefit Option 2, and the following schedule:

Policy Year Scheduled
Death Benefit
1 100,000
2 125,000
3 150,000
4 175,000
5+ 200,000

The death benefit option is changed to Option 1 at the beginning of Policy Year 3. If the Policy Value at the time of the change is $10,000, then the Face Amount after the change will be $110,000 (the Face Amount prior to the change plus the Policy Value), and the Scheduled Death Benefit after the change will become:

Policy Year Scheduled
Death Benefit
3 160,000
4 185,000
5+ 210,000

Changing the Face Amount and Scheduled Death Benefits

At any time, you may request an increase or decrease to the Face Amount or any Scheduled Death Benefits effective on or after the date of change. We reserve the right to limit changes that could cause the policy to fail to qualify as life insurance for tax purposes.

Increases in Face Amount and Scheduled Death Benefits. Increases in Face Amount and Scheduled Death Benefits are subject to the following conditions:

  • Increases in Face Amount and Scheduled Death Benefits will require satisfactory evidence of the Life Insured’s insurability.
  • Increases will take effect at the beginning of the next Policy Month after we approve the request.
  • We may refuse a requested increase that would not meet our requirements for new policy issues at the time due to the Life Insured’s Attained Age or other factors.
  • If the Face Amount is increased (other than as required by a death benefit option change) then all Scheduled Death Benefits effective on or after the date of the change will be increased by the amount of the Face Amount increase.

New Sales Loads for a Face Amount Increase. Coverage Amounts equal to the amount of the increase will be added to the policy as follows:

  • First, Coverage Amounts that were reduced or eliminated by a prior Face Amount decrease will be restored.
  • Second, if needed, a new Coverage Amount will be added to the policy with an Annual Premium Target and new sales charges. Any new Coverage Amount will be based on the Life Insured’s Attained Age and other relevant factors on the effective date of the increase.

Premiums paid on or after the increase may be attributed to the new Coverage Amount and result in sales charges (see “Charges and Deductions — Attribution of Premiums”).

Decreases in Face Amount and Scheduled Death Benefits. Decreases in Face Amount and Scheduled Death Benefits are subject to the following conditions:

  • Decreases in Face Amount and Scheduled Death Benefits will take effect at the beginning of the next Policy Month which is 30 days after your written request is received at our Service Office.
  • If the Face Amount is decreased then all Scheduled Death Benefits effective on or after the date of the change will be decreased by the same amount.
  • If at any time the Scheduled Death Benefit decreases to less than the Face Amount, the Face Amount will be decreased to be equal to the Scheduled Death Benefit at that time.
  • Coverage Amounts equal to the amount of the Face Amount decrease will be reduced or eliminated in the reverse order that they are listed in the policy.

Decreases in Face Amount Under Death Benefit Option 1 Due to a Partial Withdrawal. If death benefit Option 1 is in effect when a partial withdrawal is made, the Face Amount will be decreased by an amount equal to (a) minus (b) but not less than zero, where:

(a) is the partial withdrawal amount and

(b) is the excess, if any, of the policy’s Minimum Death Benefit over its Face Amount, immediately prior to the partial withdrawal.

Decreases in Face Amount under death benefit Option 1 due to a partial withdrawal are subject to the following conditions:

  • Coverage Amounts equal to the amount of the Face Amount decrease will be reduced or eliminated in the reverse order that they are listed in the policy.
  • All Scheduled Death Benefits effective on or after the date of the partial withdrawal will be decreased by the amount of the Face Amount decrease, unless you request otherwise and we approve.

Example for Face Increases and Decreases. A policy is issued with a Face Amount of $100,000, death benefit Option 1, and a Scheduled Death Benefit as follows:

Policy Year Scheduled
Death Benefit
1 100,000
2 125,000
3 150,000
4 175,000
5+ 200,000

Assume the following policy activity:

Activity Effect on Policy Change in Benefit

In Policy Year 2, the Face Amount is reduced to $80,000. The initial Coverage Amount is reduced to $80,000. Policy Year Scheduled

In Policy Year 3, the Face Amount is increased to $120,000 The initial Coverage Amount (which earlier was reduced to $80,000) is restored to its original level of $100,000. A new Coverage Amount for $20,000 is added to the policy. This new Coverage Amount will have its own Annual Premium Target, and its own sales charges. A portion of the future premiums paid will be attributed to this Coverage Amount to determine the amount of the sales charges. Policy Year Scheduled
Death Benefit
3 170,000
4 195,000
5+ 220,000
In Policy Year 4, a partial withdrawal of $30,000 is made. The Face Amount is reduced to $90,000. The most recent Coverage Amount of $20,000 is reduced to $0, and the initial Coverage Amount is reduced to $90,000. Policy Year Scheduled
Death Benefit
4 165,000
5 190,000

Factors that Affect the Death Benefit. In the case of death benefit Option 2 where the death benefit is the Face Amount plus the Policy Value, changes in the Policy Value will affect the amount of death benefit. Factors that affect the Policy Value are the investment performance of the variable investment options chosen and the charges deducted. For a discussion of how these factors affect Policy Value see the “Summary of Benefits and Risks”. These factors do not affect the Face Amount of the policy. Therefore, the amount of death benefit under Option 1 will not be less than the Face Amount as long as the policy does not lapse.

PREMIUM PAYMENTS

Initial Premiums

No premiums will be accepted prior to receipt of a completed application by us. All premiums received prior to the Effective Date of the policy will be held in our general account and credited with interest from the date of receipt at the rate of return earned on amounts allocated to the Money Market portfolio.

On the Effective Date, the Net Premiums paid plus interest credited will be allocated among the Investment Accounts or the Fixed Account in accordance with your instructions, unless first allocated to the Money Market portfolio for the duration of the Right to Examine period (see “Right to Examine the Policy”).

Subsequent Premiums

After the payment of the initial premium, premiums may be paid at any time during the lifetime of the Life Insured prior to Attained Age 100 and in any amount subject to the premium limitations described below.

A policy will be issued with a planned premium, which is based on the amount of premium you wish to pay. We will send you notices of your planned premium at the payment interval you select. However, you are under no obligation to make the planned premium payment.

Payment of premiums will not guarantee that the policy will stay in force and failure to pay premiums will not necessarily cause the policy to lapse. The policy will remain in force so long as the Net Cash Surrender Value is sufficient to cover policy charges.

Premium Limitations

If the policy is issued under the GP Test, the total of all premiums paid may not exceed the then-current maximum premium limitations established by federal income tax law for the policy to qualify as life insurance. The GP Test premium limits are stated in the policy. If a premium is received which would result in total premiums exceeding the applicable GP Test limit, we will only accept that portion of the premium that will not exceed the limit. Any premium in excess of that amount will be returned to you.

If the policy is issued under the CVA Test, there is no restriction on the amount of premiums that may be paid into a policy, but you must provide satisfactory evidence of insurability before we accept any premium that would increase the death benefit by an amount greater than the increase in Policy Value.

Premium Allocation

You may allocate premiums to the Fixed Account and Investment Accounts. Allocations may be made as percentages that are between zero and 100% that sum to exactly 100%. Alternatively, you may allocate a premium in dollar amounts that sum to exactly the Net Premium amount. You may change premium allocations at any time and the change will take effect on the date a request for change satisfactory to us is received at our Service Office.

CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS

Premium Charge

We will deduct a premium charge as a percentage of each premium payment that is guaranteed never to exceed 2.5%. Currently, we waive this charge in Policy Years 4 and later and charge 0%.

The charge is intended to cover a portion of the aggregate amount of various taxes and fees we pay to federal, state and local governments. It is not based on the actual premium tax rate of your state of residence or any other specific tax.

Sales Charge

The sales charge is intended to cover a portion of our costs of marketing and distributing the policies.

Attribution of Premiums. An Annual Premium Target is associated with each Coverage Amount. Annual Premium Targets are based on the Coverage Amount and the Life Insured’s Attained Age, sex and smoking status on the effective date of the Coverage Amount. The Annual Premium Targets are listed with the Coverage Amounts in the policy.

Premium payments will be attributed to Coverage Amounts that have been in effect for less than 5 years. Attribution will begin with the first applicable Coverage Amount that is listed in the policy. The sum of all premium amounts attributed to a Coverage Amount in a Coverage Year is limited to the Annual Premium Target shown in the policy. Premium amounts that exceed the Annual Premium Target will be attributed to the next listed Coverage Amount, up to its own Annual Premium Target. Attribution will continue in this manner until either the entire premium is attributed to Coverage Amounts or the Annual Premium Target is exceeded for all applicable Coverage Amounts.

Sales Charge. We deduct a sales charge from all premium amounts attributed to a Coverage Amount designated as having a sales charge. The sales charge is a percentage of premiums guaranteed never to exceed the percentages below. Currently we are charging these percentages.

Coverage Year Percentage
1 13.00%
2 6.25%
3 3.50%
4 2.50%
5 0.50%
6 0.50%
7+ 0.00%

Monthly Deductions

On the Policy Date and at the beginning of each Policy Month prior to Attained Age 100, a deduction is due from the Net Policy Value to cover certain charges described below. Monthly deductions due prior to the policy’s Effective Date will be taken on the Effective Date. Unless otherwise allowed by us and specified by you, the monthly deduction will be allocated among the Investment Accounts and the Fixed Account in the same proportion as the Policy Value in each of the Investment Accounts and the Fixed Account bears to the Net Policy Value.

Administration Charge. Currently we deduct a charge of $12 per Policy Month, which is guaranteed never to be exceeded. This charge is intended to cover certain administrative expenses associated with the policy, including maintaining policy records, collecting premiums and processing death claims, surrender and withdrawal requests and various changes permitted under a policy.

Cost of Insurance Charge. A monthly charge for the cost of insurance is paid to us and is determined by multiplying a cost of insurance rate by the net amount at risk at the beginning of each Policy Month.

Death Benefit Option 1. The net amount at risk is equal to the greater of zero, or (a) minus (b), where

(a) is the applicable death benefit amount on the first day of the month, divided by 1.0024663; and

(b) is the Policy Value attributed to that death benefit amount on the first day of the month.

Death Benefit Option 2. The net amount at risk is equal to the Face Amount of insurance.

Cost of insurance rates and net amounts at risk are determined separately for each Coverage Amount and for the excess of the death benefit over the Face Amount (the Face Amount is the sum of the Coverage Amounts).

Attribution of Policy Value for Net Amounts at Risk. To determine the net amounts at risk, the Policy Value will be attributed to Coverage Amounts in the order listed in the policy. The amount of Policy Value attributed to a Coverage Amount will be limited to the amount that results in zero net amount at risk, and any excess Policy Value will then be attributed to the next listed Coverage Amount. Attribution will continue in this manner until either the entire Policy Value is attributed or the end of the list of Coverage Amounts is reached. Any remaining Policy Value will then be attributed to the excess of the death benefit over the Face Amount.

Current Cost of Insurance Rates. Cost of insurance rates are determined separately for each Coverage Amount and the excess of the death benefit over the Face Amount. There are different current cost of insurance rate bases for:

  • Coverage Amounts having sales charges, and
  • The excess of the death benefit over the Face Amount, including any term insurance benefit under the FTIO Rider.

The cost of insurance rate in a specific Policy Month for an applicable death benefit amount will depend on:

  • the cost of insurance rate basis for the applicable death benefit amount,
  • the Life Insured’s Attained Age, sex (unless unisex rates are required by law) and smoking status on the effective date of the applicable death benefit amount,
  • the underwriting class of the applicable death benefit amount,
  • the Coverage Year, or Policy Year for the excess of the death benefit over the Face Amount,
  • any extra charges for substandard ratings, as stated in the policy.

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

Cost of insurance rates will generally increase with the Life Insured’s age and the Coverage Year.

Cost of insurance rates reflect our expectation as to future mortality experience. They are also intended to cover our general costs of providing the policy, to the extent that these costs are not covered by other charges. Current cost of insurance rates may be changed by us on a basis that does not unfairly discriminate within the class of lives insured.

Guaranteed Maximum Cost of Insurance Rates. In no event will the cost of insurance rates we charge exceed the guaranteed maximum rates set forth in the policy, except to the extent that an extra charge is imposed for a substandard rating. The guaranteed rates are based on the 1980 Commissioners Standard Ordinary Sex Distinct (unless unisex rates are required by law) ANB Aggregate Ultimate Mortality Tables. Current cost of insurance rates may be less than the guaranteed rates.

Asset Based Risk Charge Deducted from Investment Accounts

We assess a daily charge against amounts in the Investment Accounts. This charge is intended to compensate us for insurance risks we assume under the policy, such as benefit payments and expenses that are higher than we expected. We will realize a gain from this charge to the extent it is not needed to provide benefits and pay expenses under the policy. The charge is a percentage of amounts in the Investment Accounts, which will reduce unit values of the sub-accounts. The charge is guaranteed never to exceed an annual rate of 0.50%. Currently, we charge the following rates:

Policy Year Annual Rate
1-10 0.45%
11+ 0.25%

Reduction in Charges and Enhanced Surrender Values

The policy is designed for employers and other sponsoring organizations that may purchase multiple policies as a case. The size or nature of the case may result in expected savings of sales, underwriting, administrative or other costs. If so, we expect to offer reductions of policy charges and enhancements of surrender value. Eligibility for reductions and enhancements and the amounts available 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 policy owner, the nature of the relationship among the lives insured, the purpose for which the policies are being purchased, expected persistency of the individual policies, and any other circumstances which we believe to be relevant to the expected reduction of our expenses. Some of reductions and enhancements may be guaranteed and others may be subject to restrictions or to withdrawal or modification, on a uniform case basis. We may change the nature and amount of reductions and enhancements available from time to time. Reductions and enhancements will be determined in a way that is not unfairly discriminatory to policy owners.

COMPANY TAX CONSIDERATIONS

Currently, we make no specific charge for any federal, state, or local taxes that we incur that may be attributable to the Separate Account or to the policy. We reserve the right in the future, however, to make a charge for any such tax or other economic burden resulting from the application of tax laws that we determine to be properly attributable to the Separate Account or to the policy.

POLICY VALUE

Determination of the Policy Value

A policy has a Policy Value, a portion of which is available to you by making a policy loan or partial withdrawal, or upon surrender of the policy. The Policy Value may also affect the amount of the death benefit. The Policy Value at any time is equal to the sum of the values in the Investment Accounts, the Fixed Account, and the Loan Account.

The Policy Value is affected by the investment performance of the Investment Account chosen and the rate of interest credited if amounts are allocated to the Fixed Account. The Policy Value is also affected by the charges deducted. For a discussion of how these factors affect Policy Value see the “Summary of Benefits and Risks”.

Investment Accounts. An Investment Account is established under each policy for each sub-account of the Separate Account to which Net Premiums or transfer amounts have been allocated. Each Investment Account under a policy measures the interest of the policy in the corresponding sub-account. The value of the Investment Account established for a particular sub-account is equal to the number of units of that sub-account credited to the policy multiplied by the value of such units.

Fixed Account. Amounts in the Fixed Account do not vary with the investment performance of any sub-account. Instead, these amounts are credited with interest at a rate determined by us. See “The General Account  —  Fixed Account”.

Loan Account. Amounts borrowed from the policy are transferred to the Loan Account. Amounts in the Loan Account do not vary with the investment performance of any sub-account. Instead, these amounts are credited with interest at a rate determined by us that is lower than the loan interest rate charged on Policy Debt. See “Policy Loans  —  Loan Account”.

Units and Unit Values

Crediting and Canceling Units. Units of a particular sub-account are credited to a policy when Net Premiums are allocated to that sub-account or amounts are transferred to that sub-account. Units of a sub-account are cancelled whenever amounts are deducted, transferred or withdrawn from the sub-account. The number of units credited or cancelled for a specific transaction is based on the dollar amount of the transaction divided by the value of the unit on the Business Day on which the transaction occurs. The number of units credited with respect to a premium payment will be based on the applicable unit values for the Business Day on which the premium is received at our Service Office, except for any premiums received before the Effective Date. For premiums received before the Effective Date, the values will be determined on the Effective Date.

Units are valued at the end of each Business Day. When an order involving the crediting or canceling of units is received after the end of a Business Day, or on a day that is not a Business Day, the order will be processed on the basis of unit values determined on the next Business Day. Similarly, any determination of Policy Value, Investment Account value or death benefit to be made on a day that is not a Business Day will be made on the next Business Day.

Unit Values. For each Business Day the unit value for each sub-account is determined by multiplying the net investment factor for the that sub-account by the unit value for the immediately preceding Business Day.

The net investment factor for a sub-account on any Business Day is equal to (a) divided by (b) minus (c), where:

(a) is the net asset value of the underlying portfolio shares held by that sub-account as of the end of such Business Day before any policy transactions are made on that day;
(b) is the net asset value of the underlying portfolio shares held by that sub-account as of the end of the immediately preceding Business Day after all policy transactions were made for that day; and
(c) is a charge not exceeding the daily mortality and expense risk charge shown in the “Charges and Deductions  —  Asset Based Risk Charge Deducted from Investment Accounts” section.

The value of a unit may increase, decrease, or remain the same, depending on the investment performance of a sub-account from one Business Day to the next.

Transfers of Policy Value

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 options in variable life insurance products can be a prime target for abusive transfer activity because these products value their investment options on a daily basis and allow transfers among investment options without immediate tax consequences. As a result, some investors may seek to frequently transfer into and out of variable investment
options or to make large transfers in reaction to market news or to exploit a perceived pricing inefficiency. Whatever the reason, long-term investors in a variable investment option 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 and facsimile 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 options, (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.

Our current practice is to restrict transfers into or out of variable investment options to two per calendar month (except with respect to those policies described in the following paragraph). In applying this restriction any transfer request involving the transfer of account value into or out of multiple variable investment options will still count as only one request. No more than one transfer request may be made on any day. You may, however, transfer to the Money Market portfolio even if the two transfer per month limit has been reached, but only if 100% of the Policy Value in all variable investment options is transferred to the Money Market portfolio. If such a transfer to the Money Market investment portfolio is made, then, for the 30 calendar day period after such transfer, no transfers from the Money Market portfolio to any other variable investment options or to the Fixed Account may be made. If a 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 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 account values are transferred from one portfolio into a second portfolio, the values can only be transferred out of the second investment option if they are transferred into the Money Market portfolio; and (ii) any account values that would otherwise not be transferable by application of the 10 day limit described above and that are transferred into the Money Market portfolio may not be transferred out of the Money Market portfolio into any other investment options (variable or fixed) 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 or timing of transfers, we will monitor aggregate trades among the sub-accounts 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. The restrictions described in these paragraphs will be applied uniformly to all policy owners subject to the restrictions.

We reserve the right to modify or terminate the transfer privilege at any time in accordance with applicable law. Transfer privileges are also subject to any restrictions that may be imposed by the portfolios. In addition, we reserve the right to defer the transfer privilege at any time that we are unable to purchase or redeem shares of a portfolio.

Rule 22c-2 under the 1940 Act requires us to provide tax identification numbers and other policy owner transaction information to John Hancock 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.

Transfers Involving Fixed Account. While the policy is in force, you may transfer the Policy Value from any of the Investment Accounts to the Fixed Account without incurring transfer charges:

  • within eighteen months after the Issue Date; or
  • within 60 days of the effective date of a material change in the investment objectives of any of the sub-accounts; or
  • within 60 days of the date of notification of such change, whichever is later.
Such transfers will not count against the twelve transfers that may be made free of charge in any Policy Year.

The maximum amount that you may transfer from the Fixed Account in any one Policy Year is the greater of $2,000, 15% of the Fixed Account value at the previous Policy Anniversary, or the amount transferred out of the Fixed Account during the previous policy year. Any transfer which involves a transfer out of the Fixed Account may not involve a transfer to the Investment Account for the Money Market portfolio.

Telephone Transfers. Transfer requests must be in writing in a form satisfactory to us, or by telephone if a currently valid telephone transfer authorization form is on file. Although failure to follow reasonable procedures may result in our being liable for any losses resulting from unauthorized or fraudulent telephone transfers, we will not be liable for following instructions communicated by telephone that we reasonably believe to be genuine. We will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone are genuine. Such procedures shall consist of confirming that a valid telephone authorization form is on file, tape recording of all telephone transactions and providing written confirmation thereof.

POLICY LOANS

At any time while this policy is in force, you may borrow against the Policy Value. This policy is the only security for the loan. Policy loans may have tax consequences, see “Tax Treatment of Policy Benefits  —  Policy Loans”.

A policy loan will affect future Policy Values, since the portion of the Policy Value in the Loan Account will receive the loan interest credited rate rather than varying with the performance of the underlying portfolios or increasing at the Fixed Account interest credited rate. A policy loan may cause a policy to be more susceptible to lapse since it reduces the Net Cash Surrender Value from which monthly deductions are taken. A policy loan causes the amount payable upon death of the Life Insured to be reduced by the amount of outstanding Policy Debt.

Maximum Loan. The amount of any loan cannot exceed the amount that would cause the Policy Debt to equal the policy’s Cash Surrender Value less the monthly deductions due from the date of the loan to the next Policy Anniversary.

Interest Charged on Policy Loans

Interest on the Policy Debt will accrue daily and be payable annually on the Policy Anniversary. The rate of interest charged will be an effective annual rate of 4%.

Loan Account

When a loan is made, an amount equal to the loan will be deducted from the Investment Accounts or the Fixed Account and transferred to the Loan Account. You may designate how this amount is allocated among the accounts. If you give no instructions, the amount transferred will be allocated among the Investment Accounts and the Fixed Account in the same proportion as the Policy Value in each Investment Account and the Fixed Account bears to the Net Policy Value. A transfer
from an Investment Account will result in the cancellation of units of the underlying sub-account equal in value to the amount transferred from the Investment Account. However, since the Loan Account is part of the Policy Value, transfers made in connection with a loan will not change the Policy Value.

Interest Credited to the Loan Account. Policy Value in the Loan Account will earn interest at an effective annual rate guaranteed to be at least 3.25%. We may declare a current interest rate that is greater than this, subject to change at any time. The excess of the loan interest charged rate (4%) over the loan interest credited rates will result in a net charge against the Policy Value with respect to any Policy Debt.

Currently we credit loan interest rates which vary by Policy Year as follows:

Policy Years Current Loan Interest
Credited Rates
Excess Loan Interest
Charged Rate
1-10 3.25% 0.75%
11+ 3.75% 0.25%
Loan Account Adjustments. On the first day of each Policy Month the difference between the Loan Account and the Policy Debt is transferred to the Loan Account from the Investment Accounts or the Fixed Account. The amount transferred will be allocated to the Investment Accounts and the Fixed Account in the same proportion as the Policy Value in each Investment Account or the Fixed Account bears to the Net Policy Value.

Loan Repayments. Policy Debt may be repaid, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the death of the Life Insured while the policy is in force. A loan repayment amount will be credited to the Loan Account and transferred to the Fixed Account or the Investment Accounts in the same proportion as the Policy Value in each account bears to the Net Policy Value.

Amounts paid to us not specifically designated in writing as loan repayments will be treated as premiums.

POLICY SURRENDER AND PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS

Policy Surrender

A policy may be surrendered for its Net Cash Surrender Value at any time while the Life Insured is living. The Net Cash Surrender Value is equal to the Policy Value less any outstanding monthly deductions due minus the Policy Debt. The Net Cash Surrender Value will be determined at the end of the Business Day on which we receive the policy and a written request for surrender at our our Service Office. After a policy is surrendered, the insurance coverage and all other benefits under the policy will terminate.

Partial Withdrawals

You may make a partial withdrawal of the Net Cash Surrender Value at any time. You may designate how the withdrawal amount is allocated among the Investment Account and the Fixed Account. If you give no instructions, the withdrawal amount will be allocated among the accounts in the same proportion as the Policy Value in each account bears to the Net Policy Value.

The death benefit may be reduced as a result of a Partial Withdrawal. (See “Death Benefits — Decreases in Face Amount under Death Benefit Option 1 due to a Partial Withdrawal”).

LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT

Lapse

A policy will go into default at the beginning of a Policy Month if the Net Cash Surrender Value would be zero and below after deducting the monthly deduction then due. A lapse could have adverse tax consequences as described under “Tax Considerations  —  Other Policy Distributions”. We will notify you of the default and will allow you 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 with no value.

Death During Grace Period. If the Life Insured should die during the grace period, the Policy Value used in the calculation of the death benefit will be the Policy Value on the date of default and the insurance benefit will be reduced by any outstanding monthly deductions due at the time of death.

Reinstatement

You may reinstate a policy that has terminated after going into default at any time within the five-year period following the date of termination subject to the following conditions:

  • The policy must not have been surrendered for its Net Cash Surrender Value;
  • Evidence of the Life Insured’s insurability satisfactory to us must be provided; and
  • A premium equal to the payment required during the grace period following default to keep the policy in force is paid.
Generally, the suicide exclusion and incontestability provision will apply from the effective date of the reinstatement. Your policy will indicate if this is not the case.

THE GENERAL ACCOUNT

The general account of John Hancock USA consists of all assets owned by us other than those in Separate Account N and other separate accounts of the Company. Subject to applicable law, we have sole discretion over investment of the assets of the general account.

By virtue of exclusionary provisions, interests in the general account of John Hancock USA have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (“1933 Act”) and the 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 as a result the staff of the SEC has not reviewed the disclosures in this prospectus relating to the general account. Disclosures regarding the general account may, however, be subject to certain generally applicable provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in a prospectus.

Fixed Account

You may elect to allocate Net Premiums to the Fixed Account or transfer all or a portion of the Policy Value to the Fixed Account from the Investment Accounts. We will hold the reserves required for any portion of the Policy Value allocated to the Fixed Account in our general account. Transfers from the Fixed Account to the Investment Accounts are subject to restrictions.

Policy Value in the Fixed Account. The Policy Value in the Fixed Account is equal to:

  • the portion of the Net Premiums allocated to it; plus
  • any amounts transferred to it; plus
  • interest credited to it; less
  • any charges deducted from it; less
  • any partial withdrawals from it; less
  • any amounts transferred from it.
Interest on the Fixed Account. An allocation of Policy Value to the Fixed Account does not entitle you to share in the investment experience of the general account. Instead, we guarantee that the Policy Value in the Fixed Account will accrue interest daily at an effective annual rate of at least 3%, without regard to the actual investment experience of the general account. We may declare a current interest rate in excess of the guaranteed rate, subject to change at any time.

OTHER PROVISIONS OF THE POLICY

Policy Owner Rights

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. Here are some major ones:

  • 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

Unless otherwise restricted by a separate agreement, you may:

  • Vary the premiums paid under the policy.
  • Change the death benefit option.
  • Change the premium allocation for future premiums.
  • Take loans and/or partial withdrawals.
  • Surrender the policy.
  • Transfer ownership to a new owner.
  • Name a contingent owner that will automatically become owner if you die before the Life Insured.
  • Change or revoke a contingent owner.
  • Change or revoke a beneficiary.
Assignment of Rights. We will not be bound by an assignment until we receive a copy of the assignment at our Service Office. We assume no responsibility for the validity or effects of any assignment.

Beneficiary

You may appoint one or more beneficiaries of the policy by naming them in the application. Beneficiaries may be appointed in three classes  —  primary, secondary, and final. Beneficiaries may also be revocable or irrevocable. Unless an irrevocable designation has been elected, you may change the beneficiary during the Life Insured’s lifetime by giving written notice in a form satisfactory to us. If the Life Insured dies and there is no surviving beneficiary, you, or your estate if you are the Life Insured, will be the beneficiary. If a beneficiary dies before the seventh day after the death of the Life Insured, we will pay the insurance benefit as if the beneficiary had died before the Life Insured.

Incontestability

We will not contest the validity of a policy after it has been in force during the Life Insured’s lifetime for two years from the Issue Date stated in the policy, nor will we contest the validity of an increase in Face Amount after it has been in force during the Life Insured’s lifetime for two years. If a policy has been reinstated, we can contest any misrepresentation of a fact material to the reinstatement for a period of two years after the reinstatement date.

Misstatement of Age or Sex

If the Life Insured’s stated age or sex or both in the policy are incorrect, we will change the Face Amount so that the death benefit will be that which the most recent monthly charge for the cost of insurance would have purchased for the correct age and sex.

Suicide Exclusion

If the Life Insured, whether sane or insane, dies by suicide within two years from the Issue Date stated in the policy (or within the maximum period permitted by the state in which the policy was delivered, if less than two years), we will pay only the premiums paid less any partial withdrawals and any Policy Debt. If the Life Insured should die by suicide within two years after a Face Amount increase, the death benefit for the increase will be limited to the monthly deductions for the increase. At our discretion, this provision may be waived; for example, with policies purchased in conjunction with certain existing benefit plans.

Supplementary Benefits

Subject to certain requirements, one or more supplementary benefits may be added to a policy, including the FTIO Rider (see “Death Benefits  —  Flexible Term Insurance Option Rider”) and, in the case of a policy owned by a corporation or other similar entity, a benefit permitting a change in the Life Insured (a taxable event). More detailed information concerning this supplementary benefit may be obtained from us. There is no cost for any supplementary benefit currently offered by us, with the exception of the FTIO Rider (see “Charges and Deductions  —  Monthly Deductions”).

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.)

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 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.

Moreover, under a policy insuring a single life, if there is a reduction in benefits (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 a survivorship policy, a reduction in benefits under the policy at any time will require re-testing. For such a policy the 7-pay limit will generally be recalculated based on the reduced benefits and the policy will be re-tested, using the lower limit, from the date it was issued.

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.

OTHER INFORMATION

Payment of Proceeds

As long as the policy is in force, we will ordinarily pay any policy loans, surrenders, partial withdrawals or insurance benefit within seven days after receipt at our Service Office of all the documents required for such a payment. We will ordinarily pay any death benefit, withdrawal, surrender value or loan within 7 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 7 days after the date we receive documentation of the insured person’s death, we will pay the proceeds as a single sum.

We will ordinarily pay any death benefit, withdrawal, surrender value or loan within 7 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 7 days after the date we receive documentation of the insured person’s death, we will pay the proceeds as a single sum. We may delay the payment of any policy loans, surrenders, partial withdrawals, or insurance benefit that depends on Fixed Account values for up to six months or in the case of any Investment Account for any period during which:

(i) the New York Stock Exchange is closed for trading (except for normal weekend and holiday closings),
(ii) trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted
(iii) an emergency exists, as determined by the SEC, as a result of which disposal of securities held in the Separate Account is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable to determine the value of the Separate Account’s net assets or
(iv) the SEC, by order, so permits for the protection of security holders; provided that applicable rules and regulations of the SEC shall govern as to whether the conditions described in (ii) and (iii) exist.

Reports to Policy Owners

Within 30 days after each Policy Anniversary, we will send you a statement showing, among other things:

  • the amount of death benefit;
  • the Policy Value and its allocation among the Investment Accounts, the Fixed Account and the Loan Account;
  • the value of the units in each Investment Account to which the Policy Value is allocated;
  • the Policy Debt and any loan interest charged since the last report;
  • the premiums paid and other policy transactions made during the period since the last report; and
  • any other information required by law.

You will also be sent an annual and a semi-annual report for each portfolio, which will include a list of the securities, held in each portfolio as required by the 1940 Act.

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 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 30% of the target premium paid in policy year 1, 5% of target premium paid in years 2-5, and 2.5% of the target premium paid in years 6 and after. Compensation on any premium paid in excess of target premium in any year will not exceed 2.5%. Broker-dealers may also receive a service fee of up to $100 per policy per year, and an asset trail of up to .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 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.

Responsibilities of John Hancock USA

John Hancock USA entered into an agreement with JH Distributors pursuant to which John Hancock USA, on behalf of JH Distributors will pay the sales commissions in respect of the policies and certain other policies issued by John Hancock USA, prepare and maintain all books and records required to be prepared and maintained by JH Distributors with respect to the policies and such other policies, and send all confirmations required to be sent by JH Distributors with respect to the policies and such other policies. JH Distributors will promptly reimburse John Hancock USA for all sales commissions paid by John Hancock USA and will pay John Hancock USA for its other services under the agreement in such amounts and at such times as agreed to by the parties.

Finally, John Hancock USA may, from time to time in its sole discretion, enter into one or more reinsurance agreements with other life insurance companies under which policies issued by it may be reinsured, such that its total amount at risk under a policy would be limited for the life of the insured.

Voting Rights

As stated previously, all of the assets held in each sub-account of the Separate Account will be invested in shares of a particular portfolio. John Hancock USA is the legal owner of those shares and as such has the right to vote upon certain matters that are required by the 1940 Act to be approved or ratified by the shareholders of a mutual fund and to vote upon any other matters that may be voted upon at a shareholders’ meeting. However, John Hancock USA will vote shares held in the sub-accounts in accordance with instructions received from policyholders having an interest in such sub-accounts. Shares held in each sub-account for which no timely instructions from policyholders are received, including shares not attributable to the policies, will be voted by John Hancock USA in the same proportion as those shares in that sub-account for which instructions are received. Should the applicable federal securities laws or regulations change so as to permit John Hancock USA to vote shares held in the Separate Account in its own right, it may elect to do so.

The number of shares in each sub-account for which instructions may be given by a policyholder is determined by dividing the portion of the Policy Value derived from participation in that sub-account, if any, by the value of one share of the corresponding portfolio. The number will be determined as of a date chosen by John Hancock USA, but not more than 90 days before the shareholders’ meeting. Fractional votes are counted. Voting instructions will be solicited in writing at least 14 days prior to the meeting.

John Hancock USA may, if required by state officials, disregard voting instructions if such instructions would require shares to be voted so as to cause a change in the sub-classification or investment policies of one or more of the portfolios, or to approve or disapprove an investment management contract. In addition, we may disregard voting instructions that would require changes in the investment policies or investment adviser, provided that we reasonably disapprove such changes in accordance with applicable federal regulations. If John Hancock USA does disregard voting instructions, it will advise policyholders of that action and its reasons for such action in the next communication to policyholders.

Substitution of Portfolio Shares

It is possible that in the judgment of the Company, one or more of the portfolios may become unsuitable for investment by the Separate Account because of a change in investment policy or a change in the applicable laws or regulations, because the shares are no longer available for investment, or for some other reason. In that event, John Hancock USA may seek to substitute the shares of another portfolio or of an entirely different mutual fund. Before this can be done, the approval of the SEC and one or more state insurance departments may be required.

John Hancock USA also reserves the right (i) to combine other Separate Accounts with the Separate Account, (ii) to create new Separate Accounts, (iii) to establish additional sub-accounts within the Separate Account to invest in additional portfolios of the Trust or another management investment company, (iv) to eliminate existing sub-accounts and to stop accepting new allocations and transfers into the corresponding portfolio, (v) to combine sub-accounts or to transfer assets in

one sub-account to another sub-account or (vi) to transfer assets from the Separate Account to another Separate Account and from another Separate Account to the Separate Account. We also reserve the right to operate the Separate Account as a management investment company or other form permitted by law, and to de-register the Separate Account under the 1940 Act. Any such change would be made only if permissible under applicable federal and state law.

Records and Accounts

Our Service Office is responsible for performing all administrative functions, such as decreases, increases, surrender and partial withdrawals, and fund transfers although certain of these functions may be delegated to a third party administrator.

All records and accounts relating to the Separate Account and the portfolios will be maintained by us. All financial transactions will be handled by us. All reports required to be made and information required to be given will be provided the Company or by McCamish Systems on behalf of us.

State Regulation

John Hancock USA is subject to the regulation and supervision by the Michigan Department of Insurance, which periodically examines its financial condition and operations. It is also subject to the insurance laws and regulations of all jurisdictions in which it is authorized to do business. The policies have been filed with insurance officials in each jurisdiction where they are sold.

John Hancock USA is required to submit annual statements of its operations, including financial statements, to the insurance departments of the various jurisdictions in which it does business for the purposes of determining solvency and compliance with local insurance laws and regulations.

Financial statements reference

The financial statements of John Hancock USA and the Account can be found in the Statement of Additional Information. The financial statements of John Hancock USA should be distinguished from the financial statements of the Account and should be considered only as bearing upon the ability of John Hancock USA to meet its obligations under the policies. Our general account is comprised of securities and other investments, the value of which may decline during periods of adverse market conditions.

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.

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.

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 2011, 2010, and 2009 was $158,741,294, $145,301,936 and $152,873,991 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 30% of the target premium paid in policy year 1, 5% of target premium paid in years 2-5, and 2.5% of the target premium paid in years 6 and after. Compensation on any premium paid in excess of target premium in any year will not exceed 2.5%. Broker-dealers may also receive a service fee of up to $100 per policy per year, and an asset trail of up to .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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors

John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.)

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) (the Company) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, 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, 2011. 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, 2011 and 2010, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, in 2011 the Company changed its method of accounting and reporting for separate accounts, in 2010 the Company changed its method of accounting and reporting for variable interest entities, and in 2009 the Company changed its method of accounting and reporting for other-than-temporary impairments on debt securities.

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 Financial Corporation (“JHFC”) (formerly known as John Hancock Holdings (Delaware) (“JHH”)), 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 JHH, 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 JHH. As a result of the merger, MHDLLC ceased to exist, and the company’s property and obligations became the property and obligations of JHH.

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 year ended December 31, 2009 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. The Company classifies its fixed maturities held-for-trading portfolio at fair value as a result of electing the fair value option under ASC 825, “Financial Instruments”. 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 is on an effective yield basis and is 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.

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. The Company classifies its equity securities as either available-for-sale or held-for-trading and records these securities 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. Unrealized investment gains and losses related to held-for-trading securities are reflected in net realized investment and other gains (losses). Equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values 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, or when loans are considered impaired, 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 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. Interest received on other mortgage loans that are on non-accrual status is recorded as interest income. 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, credit, and other market risks arising from on-balance sheet financial instruments and selected anticipated transactions. 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. 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.

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).

For derivatives that are designated as hedging instruments, changes in fair value are recognized according to the nature of the risks being hedged, as discussed below.

Fair Value Hedges. 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.

Cash Flow Hedges. 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 unlikely to occur.

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. 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 on April 28, 2004 (the “acquisition date”). 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.

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 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 discussions regarding goodwill impairments recorded during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, see Note 4 — Goodwill, Value of Business Acquired, and Other Intangible Assets.

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs, Deferred Sales Inducements, and Unearned Revenue. Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs (“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.

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.

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. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009 there were no gains or losses on transfers of assets from the general account to the separate account.

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 34% and 35% of the Company’s traditional life net insurance in-force at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and 76%, 77%, and 81% of the Company’s traditional life net insurance premiums for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, 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.

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,  
     2011      2010  
  

 

 

 
     (in millions)

Total policyholders’ funds

       $ 7,162       $ 8,308   
  

 

 

 

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.

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

 

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 10 — 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.

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. In accordance with the income tax sharing agreements in effect for the applicable tax years, the Company’s income tax provision (or benefit) is computed as if the Company 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 agreement. 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.

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.

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

 

Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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,” (“ASU 2009-17”) 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.

The Company also adopted ASU No. 2010-10, “Consolidation — Amendments for Certain Investment Funds,” (“ASU 2010-10”) 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 these amendments 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.

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,” (“ASU 2010-15”) which amends ASC Topic 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 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2011. Adoption of this guidance resulted in deconsolidation of $983 million of separate account assets, offset by deconsolidation of $983 million of separate account liabilities.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairments

Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted FSP No. FAS 115-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,” (FSP FAS 115-2”) 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 FSP FAS 115-2, 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.

Multiemployer Pension Plans

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-09, “Disclosures about an Employer’s Participation in a Multiemployer Plan” (“ASU 2011-09”) which amends ASC Subtopic 715-80, “Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Multiemployer Plans.” For a subsidiary participating in the pension plan of its parent, the revised standard requires the disclosure of the name of the plan in which the subsidiary participates and the amount of contributions it made. This guidance became effective as of December 15, 2011 and has been applied retrospectively. The adoption of ASU 2011-09 did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Future Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs

In October 2010, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to accounting for costs associated with acquiring or renewing insurance contracts, ASU No. 2010-26, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts” (“ASU 2010-26”) which amends ASC Topic 944, “Financial Services-Insurance” (“ASC 944”). The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. ASU No. 2010-26 modifies the definition of the types of costs incurred by insurance entities that can be capitalized in the acquisition of new and renewal contracts. This guidance will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2012 and adopted retrospectively, as permitted by the standard. The Company expects the cumulative effect upon adoption will result in a reduction to DAC with a corresponding reduction to opening retained earnings for the earliest period presented, January 1, 2010, of $596 million, net of tax.

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

 

Fair Value Measurements

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS” (“ASU 2011-04”) which amends ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements”. The key changes in measurement principles include limiting the concepts of highest and best use and valuation premise to nonfinancial assets, providing a framework for considering whether a premium or discount can be applied in a fair value measurement, and aligning the fair value measurement of instruments classified within an entity’s shareholders’ equity with the guidance for liabilities. Disclosures will be required for all transfers between Levels 1 and 2 within the valuation hierarchy, the use of a nonfinancial asset measured at fair value if its use differs from its highest and best use, the level in the valuation hierarchy of assets and liabilities not recorded at fair value but for which fair value is required to be disclosed, and for Level 3 measurements, quantitative information about unobservable inputs used, a description of the valuation processes used, and qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements. The Company will adopt the revised accounting standard effective January 1, 2012 via prospective adoption, as required. When adopted, ASU 2011-04 is not expected to materially impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Comprehensive Income

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”), and in December 2011 issued ASU No. 2011-12, “Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassification of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05” (“ASU 2011-12”) both of which amend ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”. These standards require entities to present items of net income and other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement, or in separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. The new requirements do not change which components of comprehensive income are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income, or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. However, the current option under existing standards to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity is eliminated. These standards are effective retrospectively beginning January 1, 2012. When adopted, ASU 2011-05 and ASU 2011-12 are not expected to impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Goodwill Impairment Testing

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, “Testing for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU 2011-08”) which amends ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other”. ASU 2011-08 is intended to simplify how a company tests goodwill for impairment by giving companies the option to perform a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit. Under the guidance in ASU 2011-08, if this option is selected, a company is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The provisions of ASU 2011-08 are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. When adopted, ASU 2011-08 is not expected to materially impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

In December 2011, the FASB released ASU No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”) which amends ASC Topic 210, “Balance Sheet”. ASU 2011-11 requires companies to provide new disclosures about offsetting and related arrangements for financial instruments and derivatives. The provisions of ASU 2011-11 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and are required to be applied retrospectively. When adopted, ASU 2011-11 is not expected to materially impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

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.

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 AOCI 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 increased to $619 million at December 31, 2011 from $464 million at December 31, 2010.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were 919 and 1,138 available-for-sale fixed maturity securities with an aggregate gross unrealized loss of $1,015 million and $1,537 million, respectively, of which the single largest unrealized loss was $31 million and $198 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, 2011 and 2010, there were 125 and 73 equity securities with an aggregate gross unrealized loss of $10 million and $3 million, respectively, of which the single largest unrealized loss was $2 million and $1 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 $464 million were non-income producing for the year ended December 31, 2011. Non-income producing assets represent investments that have not produced income for the 12 months preceding December 31, 2011.

Securities Lending

The Company participated in a securities lending program for the purpose of enhancing income on securities. There were no securities on loan and no collateral held as of December 31, 2011 and 2010. 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, 2011 and 2010, fixed maturity securities with a fair value of $36 million and $34 million, respectively, were on deposit with government authorities as required by law.

Mortgage Loans on Real Estate

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:

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. Charge-offs are deducted from the allowance for probable losses.

Mortgage loans with a carrying value of $119 million were non-income producing for the year ended December 31, 2011. Mortgage loans with a carrying value of $119 million were on nonaccrual status at December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2011, mortgage loans with a carrying value of $89 million were delinquent by less than 90 days and $60 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:

Investment Real Estate, Agriculture, and Timber

Investment real estate, agriculture, and timber of $146 million was non-income producing for the year ended December 31, 2011. Depreciation expense on investment real estate, agriculture, and timber was $69 million, $63 million, and $53 million in 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. Accumulated depreciation was $514 million and $467 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, 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 $4,000 million and $3,571 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Net investment income on investments accounted for under the equity method totaled $217 million, $199 million, and $78 million in 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. Total combined assets of such investments were $55,077 million and $46,563 million (consisting primarily of investments) and total combined liabilities were $16,482 million and $14,546 million (including $10,547 million and $8,911 million of debt) at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Total combined revenues and expenses of these investments in 2011 were $3,683 million and $4,759 million, respectively, resulting in $1,076 million of total combined loss from operations. 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. Total combined revenues and expenses of these investments in 2009 were $4,199 million and $4,075 million, respectively, resulting in $124 million of total combined income from operations. Depending on the timing of receipt of the audited financial statements of these other invested assets, the above investee level financial data may be up to one year in arrears.

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.

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.

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 below its carrying amount. A reporting unit is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment. In 2011, the Company impaired $500 million of goodwill associated with the Wealth Management segment. In 2010, the Company impaired the entire $1,600 million of goodwill associated with the Insurance segment. The impairments were reflective of the decrease in the expected future earnings for these businesses. The fair values were determined primarily using an earnings-based approach, which incorporated the segments’ 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.

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. The Company reported a reinsurance recoverable from JHRECO for ceded reserves and cost of reinsurance of ($122) million and ($102) million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, the Company reported a reinsurance payable to JHRECO of $35 million and $23 million, which was included with amounts due from and held for affiliates on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Premiums ceded to JHRECO were $93 million, $1 million, and $47 million during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. Claims incurred ceded to JHRECO were $520 million, $465 million, and $476 million during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.

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 and a modified coinsurance basis where the related financial assets remain invested with the Company. 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 funds withheld from JHRECO of $5,439 million and $4,784 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and recorded reinsurance recoverable from JHRECO of $5,981 million and $5,414 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Premiums ceded to JHRECO were $609 million, $625 million, and $644 million during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. Claims incurred ceded to JHRECO were $271 million, $245 million, and $207 million during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.

Note 6 — Related Party Transactions - (continued)

 

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. 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 paid by MRBL and is 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 $1,308 million and $1,563 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, 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. Since the inception of the treaty in 2008, several amendments have been enacted to refine certain aspects of the treaty. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, the Company reported a reinsurance recoverable (payable) for ceded reserves and cost of reinsurance of ($205) million and $1,595 million. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, the Company reported a coinsurance funds withheld liability of $0 million and $72 million on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, the Company reported a reinsurance receivable from MRBL of $47 million and $180 million, which was included with amounts due from and held for affiliates. 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, 2011 and 2010 were $2,463 million and $2,298 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 $457 million, $412 million, and $394 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had amounts payable to MFC and MLI of $11 million and amounts receivable from MFC and MLI of $1 million, respectively.

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

Debt Transactions

Pursuant to subordinated surplus notes dated September 30, 2008, the Company borrowed $405 million from an affiliate, John Hancock Insurance Agency, Inc. (“JHIA”). The interest rate is fixed at 7%, and interest is payable semi-annually. The notes mature on March 31, 2033. Interest expense was $29 million for each of the three years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009.

On December 22, 2006, the Company issued a subordinated note to MHDLLC in the amount of $136 million due December 15, 2016 (the “Original Note”). On September 30, 2008, the Original Note was converted to a subordinated surplus note on the same economic terms. Pursuant to the merger of MHDLLC into JHFC, as discussed in Note 1, MHDLLC ceased to exist, and the loan was transferred to JHFC effective December 31, 2009. Interest on the subordinated surplus note from October 1, 2008 until December 15, 2011 accrued at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 0.3% per annum calculated and reset quarterly on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 and payable semi-annually on March 31 and September 30 of each year. Thereafter, interest accrues at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.3% per annum reset quarterly as aforementioned and payable semi-annually on June 15 and September 15 of each year until payment in full. Interest expense was $0 million, $1 million, and $2 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.

The issuance of the above surplus notes by the Company was approved by the Michigan Commissioner of Financial and Insurance Regulation (the “Commissioner”), and any payments of interest or principal on the surplus notes require the prior approval of the Commissioner. The surplus notes are included with amounts due to affiliates on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Pursuant to a demand note dated September 30, 2008, the Company loaned $295 million to JHFS. Pursuant to the merger of JHFS into MIC, as discussed in Note 1, JHFS ceased to exist and the loan was transferred to MIC effective December 31, 2009. The interest rate is calculated at a fluctuating rate equal to 3-month LIBOR plus 0.83% per annum. Interest income was $3 million, $3 million, and $4 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.

On December 28, 2011, the Company issued a promissory note to Manulife Management Services Limited (“MMSL”) in the amount of $200 million. Interest on the loan is calculated at a fluctuating rate equal to LIBOR plus 0.1% per annum calculated and reset monthly and payable at maturity. Interest expense was $0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Note 6 — Related Party Transactions - (continued)

 

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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“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.

For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, benefits to policyholders under life, health, and annuity ceded reinsurance contracts were $2,770 million, $2,597 million, and $2,579 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.

On July 1, 2011, the Company paid $159 million in fees to affiliates related to the recapture of Life Retrocession business reserves and net liabilities of $103 million from Manulife Reinsurance Limited and Manufacturers Life Insurance Company (Barbados Branch) resulting in a decrease to net income of $170 million, net of tax.

Subsequent to the recapture transactions above, the Company entered into a 100% coinsurance treaty with Pacific Life Insurance Company effective July 1, 2011. This treaty facilitated the transfer of Life Retrocession business reserves and net liabilities of $655 million, cash of $199 million and miscellaneous assets of $30 million resulting in a pre-tax gain of $426 million, which was deferred and included in reinsurance recoverable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. This gain is amortized on a straight line basis over 10 years. Gain amortization for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $21 million.

Note 8 — 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 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.

Note 8 — 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.

Credit Default Swaps. The Company manages credit risk through the issuance of credit default swaps (“CDS”). A credit default swap is a derivative instrument representing an agreement between two parties to exchange the credit risk of a single specified entity or an index based on the credit risk of a group of entities (all commonly referred to as the “reference entity” or a portfolio of “reference entities”), in return for a periodic premium. CDS contracts typically have a five-year term.

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.

The table below provides a summary of the gross notional amount and fair value of derivatives contracts by the underlying risk exposure for all derivatives in hedging and non-hedging relationships:

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.

For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, 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, 2011, the Company had no hedges of firm commitments.

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 year ended December 31, 2010, all of the Company’s hedged forecast transactions qualified as cash flow hedges. For the year ended December 31, 2011 certain cash flow hedges were discontinued because it was no longer probable that the original forecasted transactions would occur by the end of the originally specified time period documented at inception of the hedging relationship. In 2011, the Company completed a comprehensive review of its projections of future cash flows related to hedging activity for its long-term care business. As a result of the continued volatility in interest rates and current trends within long-term care, the Company de-designated $3.9 billion (notional principal) of forward-starting interest rate swaps. The accumulated other comprehensive income related to these de-designated swaps continues to be deferred because the forecasted transactions are still possible of occurring. The deferred OCI related to the de-designated swaps amounted to $432 million, net of tax, as of December 31, 2011. If the forecasted transaction does occur, this amount will be reclassified to earnings in the periods during which variability in the cash flows hedged or the hedged forecasted transaction is recognized in earnings. If the forecasted transaction becomes unlikely, the amount will be reclassified to earnings in that period.

The following tables present the effects of derivatives in cash flow hedging relationships on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholder’s Equity and Comprehensive Income (Loss):

Note 8 — Derivatives and Hedging Instruments - (continued)

 

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, 2011, 2010, and 2009, net gains and losses related to derivatives in a non-hedge relationship were recognized by the Company, and the components were recorded in net realized investment and other gains (losses) as follows:

Credit Default Swaps

The Company replicates exposure to specific issuers by selling credit protection via credit default swaps (“CDSs”) in order to complement its cash bond investing. The Company does not employ leverage in its CDS program and therefore, does not write CDS protection in excess of its government bond holdings.

The following table provides details of the credit default swap protection sold by type of contract and external agency rating for the underlying reference security, as of December 31, 2011. The Company did not sell any credit default swaps for the year ended December 31, 2010.

1 The rating agency designations are based on S&P where available followed by Moody’s, DBRS, and Fitch. If no rating is available from a rating agency, then an internally developed rating is used.
2 Notional amount represents the maximum future payments the Company would have to pay its counterparties assuming a default of the underlying credit and zero recovery on the underlying issuer obligation.
3 The weighted average maturity of the credit default swaps is weighted based on notional amounts.

The Company also purchased credit protection with a total notional amount of $31 million and a fair value of $1 million. The average credit rating of the counterparties guaranteeing the underlying credit is A+ and the weighted average maturity is 5.5 years. The Company did not purchase any credit protection for the year ended December 31, 2010.

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 16 — 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, 2011 and 2010, the Company accepted collateral consisting of cash of $1,446 million and $0, and various securities with a fair value of $5,591 million and $824 million, respectively, which is held in separate custodial accounts. In addition, as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company pledged collateral of $134 million and $690 million, respectively, which is included in available-for-sale fixed maturities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 9 — 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 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:

     174         156   

Average attained age of contract holders

     52         51   

Many of the variable annuity contracts issued by the Company offer various guaranteed minimum death, income, and/or withdrawal benefits. 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 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.

Note 9 — Certain Separate Accounts - (continued)

 

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, “Derivatives and Hedging”.

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, 2011 and 2010:

 

   

Data used included 1,000 stochastically generated investment performance scenarios. For the GMIB reinsurance recoverable and non-life contingent GMWB gross reserve 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 for 2011 was based on the Ruark table (2010 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 0.5% to 40%.

 

   

The discount rates used in the GMDB gross and ceded reserves, the GMIB gross reserves, and the life contingent portion of the GMWB reserve calculations range from 6.4% to 7%. The discount rates used in the GMIB reinsurance recoverable and non-life contingent GMWB gross reserve 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 10 — 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, 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. The policyholder dividend obligation for the JHLICO and JHUSA closed blocks was zero at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Note 10 — 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.

(1) As part of its interest rate management, the Company uses interest rate swaps to convert the interest expense on the surplus notes from fixed to variable. These swaps are designated as fair value hedges, which results in the carrying value of the notes being adjusted for changes in fair value.

Long-Term Debt

Aggregate maturities of long-term debt are as follows: 2012—$11 million; 2013—$0 million; 2014—$28 million; 2015—$0 million; 2016—$58 million; and thereafter—$541 million.

Interest expense on debt, included in other operating costs and expenses, was $49 million, $47 million, and $34 million in 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. Interest paid on debt was $52 million, $47 million, and $34 million in 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.

Any payment of interest or principal on the surplus notes requires the prior approval of the Commissioner.

Consumer Notes

The Company issues consumer notes through its SignatureNotes program. SignatureNotes is an investment product sold through a broker-dealer network to retail customers in the form of publicly traded fixed and/or floating rate securities. SignatureNotes have a variety of maturities, interest rates, and call provisions.

Aggregate maturities of consumer notes, net of unamortized dealer fees, are as follows: 2012—$110 million; 2013—$56 million; 2014—$234 million; 2015—$147 million; 2016—$66 million; and thereafter—$197 million.

Note 12 — Income Taxes

For the 2011 and 2010 tax years, the Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return of JHFC. In 2010, the Company’s common parent, MHDLLC merged into JHFC resulting in a new consolidated group. Prior to the merger, the Company filed tax returns as part of two consolidated groups, MHDLLC and JHFC. MHDLLC included JHUSA and JHFC included JHLICO and JHVLICO. John Hancock Life and Health Insurance Company (“JHLH”), a subsidiary of the Company, was included in the legacy JHFC consolidated return for 2009. In compliance with Life / Non-Life consolidated return regulations, JHLH must file a separate federal income tax return for a five-year period beginning in 2010.

At December 31, 2011, the Company had $1,903 million of net operating loss carryforwards which will expire between 2023 and 2025. At December 31, 2011, the Company had $700 million of tax credits, which consist of $580 million of general business credits, $95 million of foreign tax credits, and $25 million of alternative minimum tax credits. The general business credits begin to expire in tax year 2021 through tax year 2031. The foreign tax credits begin to expire in tax year 2014 through tax year 2021. The alternative minimum tax credits do not have an expiration date.

The Company has not recorded a valuation allowance with respect to the realizability of its deferred tax assets. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management considered the future reversal of taxable temporary differences, future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences, taxable income in the carry back period, as well as tax planning strategies. Tax planning strategies were considered to the extent they were both prudent and feasible and if implemented, would result in the realization of deferred tax assets. Based on management’s assessment of all available information, management believes that it is more likely than not the Company will realize the full benefit of its deferred tax assets.

In 2011, the Company received income tax refunds of $181 million from affiliates under the terms of its inter-company tax-sharing agreement and income tax refunds of $20 million from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). In 2010, the Company received income tax refunds of $60 million from affiliates under the inter-company tax sharing agreement and made income tax payments of $29 million to the IRS.

Note 12 — Income Taxes - (continued)

 

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and local jurisdictions. The Company is under continuous examination with the IRS. 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. As described above, in 2010, the Company’s common parent, MHDLLC merged into JHFC resulting in a new consolidated group. The returns for the new combined group beginning in tax year 2010 have not yet been examined by the IRS. With respect to the legacy MHDLLC consolidated return group, the IRS audit for tax years prior to 2004 have been closed with the exception of an outstanding claim for refund; tax years 2004 through 2007 are in IRS appeals and tax years 2008 through 2009 are currently under examination by the IRS. The MHDLLC legacy group filed its final consolidated tax return in 2009. With respect to the legacy JHFC group, the IRS has completed its examinations of tax years 1997 through 2001. The IRS has issued statutory notices of deficiency relating to issues in these years. The Company filed a petition in U.S. Tax Court to contest and the trial was completed in 2011. These years will remain open until the Tax Court case is resolved. For tax years 2002 through 2006, the legacy JHFC group is currently in appeals. JHFC tax returns for all subsequent years have not yet been examined. Management believes that adequate provision has been made in the financial statements for potential assessments relating to all open tax years.

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

 

     December 31,  
     2011     2010  
  

 

 

 
     (in millions)  

Balance, beginning of year

       $   2,396          $   2,161   

Additions based on tax positions related to the current year

     212        202   

Additions for tax positions of prior years

     10        177   

Reductions for tax positions of prior years

     (6     (144
  

 

 

 

Balance, end of year

       $   2,612          $   2,396   
  

 

 

 

Included in the balances as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, are $387 million and $338 million of unrecognized benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. Included in the balances as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, are $2,225 million and $2,058 million of tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. Excluding the effect of interest and penalties, this will have no impact on the annual effective rate, but would accelerate the payment of taxes to an earlier period.

The Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits may decrease in the next twelve months pending the outcome of remaining issues associated with the 1997 through 2004 IRS audit. A reasonable estimate of the decrease cannot be determined at this time however, the Company believes that the ultimate resolution will not result in a material change to its consolidated financial statements.

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, 2011, 2010, and 2009, the Company recognized approximately $161 million, $166 million, and $224 million in interest expense, respectively. The Company had approximately $1,191 million and $1,030 million accrued for interest as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Penalties were less than $1 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009.

Note 13 — 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 $2,048 million and $144 million, respectively, at December 31, 2011. 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. Approximately half of these commitments expire in 2012, and the remainder expire by 2016.

The Company leases office space under non-cancelable operating lease agreements of various expiration dates. Rental expenses, net of sub-lease income, were $20 million, $24 million, and $26 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, 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:

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, 2011.

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, 2011 and 2010, the Company increased this provision by $0 million and $94 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 $240 million at December 31, 2011.

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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

 

Note 15 — Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

Prior to December 31, 2010, the Company accounted for its share of the John Hancock Pension Plan, a qualified defined benefit plan, and the John Hancock Non-Qualified Pension Plan, a non-qualified defined benefit plan (collectively, “the Plans”), and the John Hancock Employee Welfare Plan (the “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 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.

Prior to December 31, 2010, the Company sponsored the John Hancock Pension 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 and 2009 no contributions were made to the qualified plan.

Prior to December 31, 2010, the Company also sponsored the John Hancock Non-Qualified Pension Plan. 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 the John Hancock Non-Qualified Pension 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 and $34 million in 2010 and 2009, respectively.

As of the transfer date, the assets and liabilities of the 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 allocation from MIC of the required contributions to the plans as pension expense in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. The allocation is derived by utilizing participant data, provided by the plan actuary, to calculate payments into the trust for the qualified plan and payments to participants for the non-qualified plan. Prior to 2011, pension expense was the net periodic benefit cost incurred for these plans as determined by the plan actuary and consistent with actuarial practice for a plan sponsor. The expense (benefit) for the Plans was $41 million, $7 million and ($16) million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The components of the $7 million in 2010 consisted of $32 million service cost, $124 million interest cost, ($161) million expected return on plan assets, ($3) million amortization of prior service cost and $15 million recognized actuarial loss. The components of the ($16) million in 2009 consisted of $30 million service cost, $128 million interest cost, ($175) million expected return on plan assets, ($3) million amortization of prior service cost and $4 million recognized actuarial loss. In 2010, benefits paid related to the qualified deferred benefit plan and the non-qualified plan were $175 million.

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 MIC 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.

Note 15 — Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans - (continued)

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 the Welfare Plan in amounts at or below the annual tax qualified limits. The contribution to the Welfare Plan was $48 million and $54 million in 2010 and 2009, respectively.

As of the transfer date, the liabilities of the Welfare Plan became direct obligations of MIC, while JHUSA became a participating employer in the plan. Prospectively, the Company will remain jointly and severally liable for the funding requirements of the Welfare Plan and will recognize its allocation from MIC of the benefits paid on behalf of plan participants as postretirement benefits expense in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. The allocation is derived by utilizing participant data to calculate claim payments relating to participants in these plans. Prior to 2011, the Welfare Plan expense was the net periodic benefit cost incurred for these plans as determined by the plan actuary and consistent with actuarial practice for a plan sponsor. The expense for this plan was $46 million, $3 million, and $8 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The components of the $3 million in 2010 consisted of $1 million service cost, $28 million interest cost and ($26) million expected return on plan assets. The components of the $8 million in 2009 consisted of $1 million service cost, $33 million interest cost and ($26) million expected return on plan assets.

The Company participates in the John Hancock Supplemental Retirement Plan, 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 $6 million, $8 million, and $7 million in 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. 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 MIC 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. Expense for these plans is primarily comprised of the amounts the Company contributes to the plans, which fully matches eligible participants’ basic pre-tax or Roth contributions, subject to a 4% per participant maximum. The expense for these defined contribution plans was $19 million, $18 million, and $19 million in 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.

Assumptions

Weighted-average assumptions used to determine the Company’s net periodic benefit cost for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, when the Company was the sponsor, were as follows:

 

     Years ended December 31,  
     Pension Benefits     Other Postretirement
Benefits
 
  

 

 

 
     2010     2009     2010     2009  
  

 

 

 

Discount rate

     5.50     6.00     5.50     6.00

Expected long-term return on plan assets

     7.75     8.00     7.75     8.00

Rate of compensation increase

     4.35     4.10     N/A        N/A   

Health care cost trend rate for the following year

         8.50     8.50

Ultimate trend rate

         5.00     5.00

Year ultimate rate reached

         2028        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.

(1) Fixed maturities available-for-sale exclude leveraged leases of $1,959 million and $1,932 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company calculates the carrying value of its leveraged leases by accruing income at its expected internal rate of return.
(2) Other invested assets exclude equity method and cost-accounted investments of $4,078 million and $3,704 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

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.

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 limited partnership interests and goodwill, which are reported at fair value only in the period in which 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. Long-term debt at December 31, 2011 and 2010 includes variable and fixed rate notes related to consolidated variable interest entities.

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.

Note 16 — 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 can be 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.

Note 16 — 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 related to GMIB and GMWB 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.

Note 16 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments - (continued)

 

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 adjusted 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.

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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

 

Note 16 — 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 limited partnership interests and goodwill, which are reported at fair value only in the period in which impairment is recognized. The fair value is calculated using models that are widely accepted in the financial services industry. The Company recorded goodwill impairments of $500 million and $1,600 million during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and the fair value measurement was classified as Level 3. For additional information regarding the impairments, see Note 4 — Goodwill, Value of Business Acquired, and Other Intangible Assets.

Note 17 — 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 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. In 2011, the Company’s remaining international insurance operations were transferred from the Corporate and Other Segment.

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 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 income statement impact of goodwill impairment charges are recorded in this segment. In 2011, the Company’s remaining international insurance operations were transferred to the Insurance Segment.

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 10 — Closed Blocks.

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, 2011, 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, 2011, by correspondence with the custodian or fund manager of the underlying portfolios.

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

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2011

 

1. Organization

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 129 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, 2011. 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 Trust’s 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-accounts of the Account were renamed as follows:

Core Diversified Growth & Income Trust Series 1    Lifestyle Growth Trust    October 31, 2011
Large Cap Value Trust    Equity-Income Trust    May 2, 2011

Where a fund has two series, the changes noted above apply to both Series 0 and Series 1.

 

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.

ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure (“ASC 820”) 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.

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:

 

72


Table of Contents

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

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

 

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 fair value hierarchy level under ASC 820, as of December 31, 2011.

 

     Mutual Funds  

Level 1

   $ 646,299,287   

Level 2

     —     

Level 3

     —     
  

 

 

 
   $ 646,299,287   
  

 

 

 

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 the Company’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 the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as tax expense or benefit.

The Account complies with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. As of December 31, 2011, 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 (“the 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.

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. When no range is given, the lowest and highest values are the same.

(***) 

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. When no range is given, the lowest and highest values are the same.

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% 1.62%

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 1.52%, 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 Global Growth, American Global Small Capitalization, American Growth, American Growth-Income, American High-Income Bond, American International, American New World, Fundamental Holdings and Global Diversification portfolios invests in shares of the corresponding investment portfolio of the Trust. The American Asset Allocation, American Blue Chip Income and Growth, 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.

The portfolios available under the policies are as described in the following table:

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 a Long-Term Care Rider, and 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 riders are intended to meet these standards.If you have elected a Long-Term Care Rider, we caution you, however, that there is a significant risk that ownership by anyone other than the person insured by the policy will cause adverse tax consequences. If the owner of the policy is not the insured person, benefit payments may be included in the owner’s income, and the death benefit may be part of the insured person’s estate for purposes of the Federal estate tax. A policy with a Long-Term Care Rider should not be purchased by or transferred to a person other than the insured person unless you have carefully reviewed the tax implications with your tax adviser.

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 a 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 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

14

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.

Moreover, under a policy insuring a single life, if there is a reduction in benefits (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 a survivorship policy, a reduction in benefits under the policy at any time will require re-testing. For such a policy the 7-pay limit will generally be recalculated based on the reduced benefits and the policy will be re-tested, using the lower limit, from the date it was issued.

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.

15

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.
