Derivative Liabilities of John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A)

The financial statements of John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) (the “Company”) at December 31, 2011 and 2010, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011 appear in the Statement of Additional Information of the Registration Statement. The following discussion provides additional information about derivative liabilities of the Company that are reflected in those financial statements. This information relates to derivative liabilities of the Company, not the Separate Account nor the Funds of the John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust, and should be read only as providing additional financial information about the Company.

As noted in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets that are included within the Audited Financial Statements, the Company had total derivatives liabilities of $7,813 million as of December 31, 2011. Of this amount:

 

(1) $5,040 million of derivative liabilities as of December 31, 2011 are subject to “master netting arrangements” where the Company is in a net asset position (i.e. assets plus collateral exceed liabilities) with respect to the counterparty. For these purposes, a master netting agreement is an arrangement between the Company and a counterparty where more than one derivative contract exists between the two entities.


(2) $2,572 million of “embedded derivatives” as of December 31, 2011 relate to reinsurance contracts between the Company and affiliated reinsurers. The embedded derivative relating to each reinsurance contract is a total return swap wherein the Company is obligated to pay the reinsurer the actual return on assets backing the ceded liabilities in exchange for a credit equal to interest due on the Company’s ceded reserves. The Company measures the credit as the difference between (a) the fair market value of assets backing the reinsured liabilities and (b) the value of those assets as shown in financial statements of the Company that are prepared under statutory accounting principles. These entities are under common control with the Company by the Company’s ultimate parent, Manulife Financial Corporation, a Canadian company, and they do not create an inter-connection to any third party financial institution unaffiliated with the Company.

Thus, the Company’s derivative liabilities in which the Company is in a net liability position (i.e. liabilities exceed assets plus collateral) with respect to counterparties and reinsurance contracts with non-affiliated entities at December 31, 2011 was $201 million.

Note 8 to the Company’s Audited Financial Statements also shows policyholder-related embedded derivatives of $106 million for participating pension contracts and $1,061 million for benefit guarantees on variable annuity contracts. These embedded derivatives are included in Future Policy Benefits at December 31, 2011, as shown on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets within the Audited Financial Statements.
