SUMMARY OF BENEFITS AND RISKS

The nature of the policy

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

Summary of policy benefits

Death benefit

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

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

Surrender of the policy

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

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

•	the amount you invested,
•	plus any gain or minus any loss of the investment experience of the investment options you’ve chosen,
•	minus all charges we deduct, and
•	minus all withdrawals you have made.

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

Withdrawals

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

Policy loans

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

4

Optional supplementary benefit riders

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

Investment options

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

Summary of policy risks

Lapse risk

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

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

Investment risk

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

Transfer risk

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

Early surrender risk

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

Market timing and disruptive trading risks

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

5

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

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

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

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

(ii) restricting the dollar amount of transfers,

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

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

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

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

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

Tax risks

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

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

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

6

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

FEE TABLES

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

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

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

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

8

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

Periodic Charges Other Than Fund Operating Expenses
Charge	When Charge is Deducted	Amount Deducted
		Guaranteed Rate	Current Rate
Cost of insurance charge(1)	Monthly
Minimum charge		$0.07 per $1,000 of NAR	$0.05 per $1,000 of NAR
Maximum charge		$83.33 per $1,000 of NAR	$83.33 per $1,000 of NAR
Charge for representative insured person		$0.38 per $1,000 of NAR	$0.13 per $1,000 of NAR
Face Amount charge(2)	Monthly for 10 policy years from the Policy Date
Minimum charge		$0.09 per $1,000 of Base Face Amount in policy years 1-10	$0.09 per $1,000 of Base Face Amount in policy years 1-3 $0.06 per $1,000 of Base Face Amount in policy years 4-6 $0.03 per $1,000 of Base Face Amount in policy years 7-10
Maximum charge		$1.08 per $1,000 of Base Face Amount in policy years 1-10	$1.08 per $1,000 of Base Face Amount in policy years 1-3 $0.72 per $1,000 of Base Face Amount in policy years 4-6 $0.36 per $1,000 of Base Face Amount in policy years 7-10
Charge for representative insured person		$0.28 per $1,000 of Base Face Amount	$0.28 per $1,000 of Base Face Amount in policy years 1-3 $0.19 per $1,000 of Base Face Amount in policy years 4-6 $0.09 per $1,000 of Base Face Amount in policy years 7-10
Administrative charge	Monthly	$12	$9
Asset-based risk charge(3)	Monthly	0.08% of policy value in policy years 1-10 0.03% of policy value in policy year 11 and thereafter	0.03% of policy value in policy years 1-10 0.004% of policy value in policy year 11 and thereafter
Maximum policy loan interest rate(4)	Accrues daily Payable annually	3.75%	3.75%

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

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

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

9

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

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

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

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

The next table describes the minimum and maximum portfolio level fees and expenses charged by any of the portfolios underlying a variable investment option offered through this prospectus, expressed as a percentage of average net assets (rounded to two decimal places). These expenses are deducted from portfolio assets. For more information, please refer to the prospectus for the 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%	1.68%

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 1.53%, respectively.

DETAILED INFORMATION

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

Table of Investment Options and Investment Subadvisers

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Valuation

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

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

Voting interest

We will vote shares of the portfolios held in the Separate Account at the shareholder meetings according to voting instructions timely received from persons having the voting interest under the policies. We will determine the number of portfolio shares for which voting instructions may be given not more than 90 days prior to the meeting. Proxy material will be distributed to each person having the voting interest under the policy together with appropriate forms for giving voting instructions. We will vote all portfolio shares that we hold in the Separate Account for policy owners in proportion to the instructions timely received by us from policy owners from all our Separate Accounts that are registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act. We will vote all portfolio shares that we otherwise are entitled to vote (including our own shares) on any matter in proportion to the instructions timely received by us and any affiliated insurance companies with respect to the matter from policy owners in Separate Accounts of these insurance companies that are registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act. The effect of this proportional voting is that a small number of policy owners can determine the outcome of a vote.

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

The voting privileges described above reflect our understanding of applicable Federal securities law requirements. To the extent that applicable law, regulations or interpretations change to eliminate or restrict the need for such voting privileges, we reserve the right to proceed in accordance with any such revised requirements. We also reserve the right, subject to compliance with applicable law, including approval of owners if so required, (1) to transfer assets determined by John Hancock USA to be associated with the class of policies to which your policy belongs from the Separate Account to another separate account or subaccount, (2) to deregister the Separate Account under the 1940 Act, (3) to substitute for the fund shares held by a subaccount any other investment permitted by law, and (4) to take any action necessary to comply with or obtain any exemptions from the 1940 Act. Any such change will be made only if, in our judgment, the change would best serve the interests of owners of policies in your policy class or would be appropriate in carrying out the purposes of such policies. We would notify owners of any of the foregoing changes and to the extent legally required, obtain approval of affected owners and any regulatory body prior thereto. Such notice and approval, however, may not be legally required in all cases.

Description of John Hancock (USA)

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

The Separate Account’s assets are our property. Each policy provides that amounts we hold in the Separate 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 Separate Account. Income, gains and losses credited to, or charged against, the Separate Account reflect the Separate Account's own investment experience and not the investment experience of John Hancock USA's other assets. John Hancock USA is obligated to pay all amounts promised to policy owners under the policies.

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

The fixed account

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

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

The death benefit

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

16

the form of Base Face Amount or in the form of Supplemental Face Amount. These factors are discussed under “Base Face Amount vs. Supplemental Face Amount” below.

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

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

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

Limitations on payment of death benefit

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

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

Base Face Amount vs. Supplemental Face Amount

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

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

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

The minimum death benefit

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

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

17

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

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

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

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

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

When the insured person reaches 100

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

•	Any Supplemental Face Amount will be limited (see “Base Face Amount vs. Supplemental Face Amount”).
•	We will stop deducting any monthly deductions.
•	We will stop accepting any premium payments.

Requesting an increase in coverage

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

Requesting a decrease in coverage

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

•	the remaining Total Face Amount will be at least $100,000,
•	the remaining Base Face Amount will be at least $50,000, and
•	the remaining Total Face Amount will at least equal the minimum required by the tax laws to maintain the policy’s life insurance status.

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

18

Change of death benefit option

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

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

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

Tax consequences of coverage changes

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

Your beneficiary

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

Ways in which we pay out policy proceeds

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

Changing a payment option

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

Tax impact of payment option chosen

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

Premiums

Planned premiums

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

19

Minimum initial premium

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

Maximum premium payments

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

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

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

Processing premium payments

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

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

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

Ways to pay premiums

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

20

Lapse and reinstatement

Lapse

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

Death during grace period

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

Reinstatement

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

(a)  The insured person's risk classification is standard or preferred, and

(b)  The insured person's attained age is less than 46.

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

(a)  You must provide to us evidence of the insured person's insurability that is satisfactory to us; and

(b)  You must pay a premium equal to the amount that was required to bring the policy out of default immediately prior to termination, plus the amount needed to keep the policy in force to the next scheduled date for payment of the Planned Premium.

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

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

The policy value

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

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

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

21

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

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

Allocation of future premium payments

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

Transfers of existing policy value

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

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

•	within 18 months after the policy's Issue Date, or
•	within 60 days after the later of the effective date of a material change in the investment objectives of any investment account or the date you are notified of the change.

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

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

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

22

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Surrender and withdrawals

Surrender

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

23

Withdrawals

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

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

Policy loans

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

•	We first determine the net cash surrender value of your policy.
•	We then subtract an amount equal to 12 times the monthly deductions then being deducted from policy value.
•	We then multiply the resulting amount by 0.75% in policy years 1 through 10 and 0% thereafter (although we reserve the right to increase the percentage after the tenth policy year to as much as .25%).
•	We then subtract the third item above from the second item above.

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

Repayment of policy loans

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

•	The same proportionate part of the loan as was borrowed from the fixed account will be repaid to that fixed account.
•	The remainder of the repayment will be allocated among the accounts in the same way a new premium payment would be allocated (unless otherwise specified by you).

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

24

Effects of policy loans

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

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

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

Description of charges at the policy level

Deduction from premium payments

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

Deductions from policy value

•	Administrative charge - A monthly charge to help cover our administrative costs. This is a flat dollar charge of up to $12.
•	Face Amount charge - A monthly charge for the first ten policy years to primarily help cover sales costs. To determine the charge we multiply the amount of Base Face Amount at issue by a rate which varies by duration (Policy Year) and by the insured person's sex and issue age.
•	Cost of insurance charge - A monthly charge for the cost of insurance. To determine the charge, we multiply the net amount of insurance for which we are then at risk by a cost of insurance rate. The rate is derived from an actuarial table. The table in your policy will show the maximum cost of insurance rates. The cost of insurance rates that we currently apply are generally less than the maximum rates. The current rates will never be more than the maximum rates shown in the policy. The cost of insurance we use will depend on age of the insured person at issue, the insurance risk characteristics and (usually) gender of the insured person, the and the length of time the policy has been in effect. Regardless of the table used, cost of insurance rates generally increase each year that you own your policy, as the insured person‘s age increases. (The insured person’s “age” on any date is his or her age on the birthday nearest that date.) For death benefit Option 1, the net amount at risk is equal to the greater of zero, or the result of (a) minus (b) where:

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

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

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

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

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

•	Asset-based risk charge - A monthly charge to help cover sales, administrative and other costs. The charge is a percentage of that portion of your policy value allocated to investment accounts. This charge does not apply to the current fixed account.
•	Supplementary benefits charges - Monthly charges for any supplementary insurance benefits added to the policy by means of a rider.

25

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

Additional information about how certain policy charges work

Sales expenses and related charges

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

Method of deduction

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

Reduced charges for eligible classes

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

Other charges we could impose in the future

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

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

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

Description of charges at the portfolio level

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

26

Other policy benefits, rights and limitations

Optional supplementary benefit riders you can add

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

•	Enhanced Cash Value Rider - This rider provides for payment of an additional benefit to the policy owner upon surrender of the policy in the first seven policy years. The Enhanced Cash Value Rider benefit is calculated as a percentage of the lesser of (i) cumulative premiums paid to date or (ii) the “Limiting Premium” shown in the Policy Specifications page of your policy, minus any withdrawals and policy debt. The percentage starts at 11% and reduces to 0% in the eighth policy year. The cumulative premiums for any policy year are equal to the lesser of the actual premium paid in that policy year and the Limiting Premium. The Enhanced Cash Value Rider is only available if: (i) notice of surrender is received at our Service Office prior to the death of the insured person, (ii) such surrender is not the result of an exchange under section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code, and (iii) the rider has not terminated pursuant to its terms. This rider does not increase the available loan value of the policy.
•	Change of Life Insured Rider - This rider is only available to certain owners purchasing the policy in connection with the financing of employee benefit plan obligations. If you elect this rider, you may change the life insured on or after the second policy anniversary. You must have an insurable interest in the new life insured, and the new life insured must consent in writing to the change. We will require evidence which satisfies us of the new life insured's insurability, and the premiums and charges after the change date will reflect the new life insured's age, sex, risk classification and any additional rating which applies. Supplementary benefit riders on the old life insured will be canceled as of the change date. Supplementary benefits riders may be added on the new life insured as of the change date, subject to our normal requirements and restrictions for such benefits. The incontestability and suicide provisions of the policy will apply to the entire Face Amount beginning anew as of the change date.
•	Overloan Protection Rider - This rider will prevent your policy from lapsing on any date if policy debt exceeds the death benefit. The benefit is subject to a number of eligibility requirements relating to, among other things, the number of years the policy has been in force, the attained age of the life insured, the death benefit option elected and the tax status of the policy.

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

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

Variations in policy terms

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

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

27

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

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

Procedures for issuance of a policy

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

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

Commencement of insurance coverage

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

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

•	The policy is delivered to and received by the applicant.
•	The Minimum Initial Premium is received by us.
•	The insured person is living and there has been no deterioration in the insurability of the insured person since the date of the application.

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

Backdating

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

Temporary coverage prior to policy delivery

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

Monthly deduction dates

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

28

Changes that we can make as to your policy

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

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

•	Changes necessary to comply with or obtain or continue exemptions under the Federal securities laws.
•	Combining or removing fixed accounts or investment accounts.
•	Changes in the form of organization of any separate account.

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

The owner of the policy

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

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

•	Determine when and how much you invest in the various accounts.
•	Borrow or withdraw amounts you have in the accounts.
•	Change the beneficiary who will receive the death benefit.
•	Change the amount of insurance.
•	Turn in (i.e., “surrender”) the policy for the full amount of its net cash surrender value.
•	Choose the form in which we will pay out the death benefit or other proceeds.

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

Policy cancellation right

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

•	John Hancock USA at either of the addresses shown on the back cover of this prospectus, or
•	the John Hancock USA representative who delivered the policy to you.

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

Reports that you will receive

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

29

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

Assigning your policy

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

When we pay policy proceeds

General

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

Delay to challenge coverage

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

Delay for check clearance

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

Delay of separate account proceeds

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

Delay of general account surrender proceeds

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

How you communicate with us

General rules

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

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

•	loans
•	surrenders or withdrawals

30

•	change of death benefit option
•	increase or decrease in Face Amount
•	change of beneficiary
•	election of payment option for policy proceeds
•	tax withholding elections
•	election of telephone/internet transaction privilege

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

•	transfers of policy value among accounts
•	change of allocation among accounts for new premium payments

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

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

Telephone, facsimile and internet transactions

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

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

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

Distribution of policies

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

31

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 601 Congress Street, Boston, MA 02210 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 SAI, which is available upon request.

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

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

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

Selling broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries may receive, directly or indirectly, additional payments in the form of cash, other compensation or reimbursement. These additional compensation or reimbursement arrangements may include, for example, payments in connection with the firm's “due diligence” examination of the policies, payments for providing conferences or seminars, sales or training programs for invited registered representatives and other employees,

32

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

Tax considerations

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

General

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

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

Death benefit proceeds and other policy distributions

Generally, death benefits paid under policies such as yours are not subject to income tax unless policy ownership has been transferred in exchange for payment. Earnings on your policy value are ordinarily not subject to income tax as long as we don’t pay them out to you. If we do pay out any amount of your policy value upon surrender or partial withdrawal, all or part of that distribution would generally be treated as a return of the premiums you’ve paid and not subjected to income tax. Any portion not treated as a return of your premiums would be includible in your income.

Please note that 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. In that case, 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

33

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 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 amounts permitted under section 7702, 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, an amount equal to 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 Separate Account

Your policy will not qualify for the tax benefits of a life insurance contract unless the Separate 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.

34

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 (T.D. 8101) 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 Separate 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 Separate 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 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

35

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. You should consult your tax adviser if you have questions regarding the possible impact of the 7-pay limit on your policy.

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. Electing to have no withholding will not reduce your tax liability and may expose you to penalties under the rules governing payment of estimated taxes.

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.

Life insurance owned by citizens or residents living abroad

If you are a U.S. citizen or permanent resident living outside the United States, you are still subject to income taxation by the United States. Since many countries tax on the basis of domicile, you may also be subject to tax in the country or territory in which you are living. The tax-deferred accumulation of gain that a life insurance policy provides under United States tax law may not be available under the tax laws of the country in which you are living. If you are living outside the United States or planning to do so, you should consult with a qualified tax adviser before purchasing or retaining ownership of a policy.

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.” John Hancock USA (“Depositor”) is 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. The Depositor is a licensed life insurance company in the District of Columbia and all states of the United States except New York. Until 2004, the Depositor was known as The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.).

The Depositor’s 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.” John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) Separate Account N (the “Registrant” or “Separate Account”), is a separate account established by the Depositor under Michigan law. The variable investment options shown on page 1 of the prospectus are subaccounts of the Separate Account. The Separate 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 Separate Account or of the Depositor.

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 the Depositor and of registered separate accounts organized by the Depositor may be provided by other affiliates. Neither the Depositor nor the separate accounts are assessed any charges for such services.

The statutory-basis financial statements of John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) at December 31, 2014 and 2013, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014, and the financial statements of John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) Separate Account N at December 31, 2014, and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2014, 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 herein, and are included in reliance upon such reports given on the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

Legal and Regulatory Matters

There are no legal proceedings to which the Depositor, the Separate Account or the principal underwriter is a party or to which the assets of the Separate Account are subject that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Separate Account or the ability of the principal underwriter to perform its contract with the Separate 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 the Depositor, is the principal distributor and underwriter of the securities offered through the prospectus. JH Distributors acts as the principal distributor of a number of other life insurance and annuity products we and our affiliates offer or maintain. JH

2 Table Of Contents

Distributors also acts as the principal underwriter of John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”), whose securities are used to fund certain variable investment options under the policies and under other life insurance and annuity products we offer or maintain.

JH Distributors’ principal address is 601 Congress Street, Boston, MA 02210, and it also maintains offices with us at 197 Clarendon Street, Boston, MA 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 2014, 2013, and 2012 was $132,392,739, $119,574,297 and $156,801,522, respectively. JH Distributors did not retain any of these amounts during such periods.

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 our 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.

3 Table Of Contents

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. We reserve 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 we believe 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. We may modify from time to time, on a uniform basis, both the amounts of reductions and the criteria for qualification.

Report of Independent Auditors

The Board of Directors and Shareholder

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

We have audited the accompanying statutory-basis financial statements of John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) (the Company), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of operations, changes in capital and surplus, and cash flow for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation. Management also is responsible for the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the 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.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, to meet the requirements of Michigan the financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation, which practices differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The variances between such practices and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and the effects on the accompanying financial statements are described in Note 2.

Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

In our opinion, because of the effects of the matter described in the preceding paragraph, the statutory-basis financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2014 and 2013, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014.

Opinion on Statutory-Basis of Accounting

However, in our opinion, the statutory-basis financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period December 31, 2014 in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation.

NOTES TO STATUTORY-BASIS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Nature of Operations

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”), 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 financial protection and wealth management products and services to both individual and institutional customers located primarily in the United States. Through its insurance operations, the Company offers a variety of individual life insurance and individual and group long-term care insurance products that are distributed through multiple distribution channels, including insurance agents, brokers, banks, financial planners, and direct marketing. The Company also offers mutual fund products and services which include a variety of retirement products to retirement plans. The Company distributes these products through multiple distribution channels, including insurance agents and affiliated brokers, securities brokerage firms, financial planners, pension plan sponsors, pension plan consultants, and banks. In 2013, the Company discontinued sales of its structured settlements and single premium immediate annuity products. In 2012, the Company suspended new sales of its individual fixed and variable annuity products. The Company is licensed to sell insurance in 49 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

John Hancock Distributors LLC (“JHD”), a registered broker-dealer and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acts as the principal underwriter of variable life contracts pursuant to a distribution agreement with the Company.

The Company has two wholly-owned life insurance subsidiaries, John Hancock Life Insurance Company of New York (“JHNY”) and John Hancock Life & Health Insurance Company (“JHLH”).

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known and may impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein.

Basis of Presentation

These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services (the “Insurance Department”). The National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ (“NAIC”) Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual (“NAIC SAP”) has been adopted as a component of practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Michigan. The Michigan Director of the Department of Insurance and Financial Services (the “Director”) has the authority to prescribe or permit other specific practices that deviate from prescribed practices. NAIC SAP practices differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) as described below.

Investments: Investments in bonds not backed by other loans are principally stated at amortized cost using the constant yield (interest) method. Bonds can also be stated at the lesser of amortized cost or fair value based on their NAIC designated rating. Non-redeemable preferred stocks, which have characteristics of equity securities, are reported at cost or lower of cost or market value as determined by the Securities Valuation Office of the NAIC (“SVO”) rating, and the related net unrealized capital gains (losses) are reported in unassigned surplus along with any adjustment for federal income taxes. Redeemable preferred stocks, which have characteristics of debt securities and are rated as medium quality or better, are reported at cost or amortized cost. All other redeemable preferred stocks are reported at the lower of cost, amortized cost, or fair value.

For bonds other than loan-backed and structured securities, the Company has a process in place to identify securities that could potentially have an impairment that is other-than-temporary. The Company recognizes other-than-temporary impairment losses on bonds with unrealized losses when either of the following two conditions exist: the entity either (1) has the intent to sell the debt security or (2) is more likely than not to be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. Declines in value due to credit difficulties are also considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired when the

NOTES TO STATUTORY-BASIS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

2. Significant Accounting Policies - (continued)

Company does not have the intent and ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in value. The entire difference between amortized cost and fair value on such bonds with credit difficulties is recognized as an impairment loss in income.

Loan-backed and structured securities (i.e., collateralized mortgage obligations) are adjusted for the effects of changes in prepayment assumptions on the related accretion of discounts or amortization of premiums of such securities using either the retrospective or prospective methods. The retrospective adjustment method is used to value all such securities, except principal-only and interest-only securities and such securities with NAIC designations of 3-6, which are valued using the prospective method. If it is determined that a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the security is written down to the present value of estimated future cash flows using the original effective interest rate inherent in the security.

Common stocks are primarily reported at fair value based on quoted market prices and the related net unrealized capital gains (losses) are reported in unassigned surplus, net of any adjustment for federal income taxes. There are no restrictions on common and preferred stocks.

Insurance subsidiaries are reported at their underlying statutory equity. Non-insurance subsidiaries, which have significant ongoing operations other than for the benefit of the Company and its affiliates, are reported at GAAP equity. Non-insurance subsidiaries, which have no significant ongoing operations other than for the benefit of the Company and its affiliates, are reported based on the underlying equity adjusted to a statutory-basis, plus the admitted portion of goodwill. Dividends from subsidiaries are included in net investment income. The remaining net change in the subsidiaries’ equity is included in the change in net unrealized capital gains (losses).

Realized capital gains (losses) on sales of securities are recognized using the first in first out (“FIFO) method. The cost basis of bonds and common and preferred stocks is adjusted for impairments in value deemed to be other-than-temporary and such adjustments are reported as a component of net realized capital gains (losses).

Mortgage loans on real estate are reported at unpaid principal balances, less an allowance for impairments. Valuation allowances, if necessary, are established for mortgage loans on real estate based on the difference between the net value of the collateral, determined as the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to obtain and sell, and the recorded investment in the mortgage loan. The initial valuation allowance and subsequent changes in the allowance for mortgage loans are charged or credited directly to unassigned surplus. A mortgage loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest amounts due according to the contractual terms of the mortgage agreement. When management determines foreclosure is probable and the impairment is other-than-temporary, the mortgage loan is written down and a realized loss is recognized.

Real estate occupied by the Company and real estate held for the production of income are reported at depreciated cost, net of related obligations. Real estate that the Company has the intent to sell is reported at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value, net of related obligations. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the properties. Investment income and operating expenses include rent for the Company’s occupancy of Company-owned properties

Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and are principally stated at amortized cost. Short-term investments include investments with maturities of one year or less and greater than three months at the date of acquisition and are principally stated at amortized cost.

Policy loans are reported at unpaid principal balances.

Derivative instruments that meet the criteria to qualify for hedge accounting are accounted for in a manner consistent with the item hedged (i.e., amortized cost or fair value with the related net unrealized capital gains (losses) reported in unassigned surplus along with any adjustment for federal income taxes). Derivative instruments that are entered into for other than hedging purposes or that do not meet the criteria to qualify for hedge accounting are accounted for at fair value, and the related changes in fair value are recognized as net unrealized capital gains (losses) reported in unassigned surplus, net of any adjustments for federal income taxes. Embedded derivatives are not accounted for separately from the host contract.

Other invested assets consist of ownership interests in partnerships and limited liability corporations (“LLCs”) which are carried based on the underlying GAAP equity, with the exception of affordable housing tax credit properties, which are

carried at amortized cost. The related net unrealized capital gains (losses) are reported in unassigned surplus, net of any adjustments for federal income taxes.

Interest Maintenance and Asset Valuation Reserves: Under a formula prescribed by the NAIC, the Company defers the portion of realized capital gains (losses) on sales of fixed income investments, principally bonds and mortgage loans, and interest-related hedging activities that are attributable to changes in the general level of interest rates and amortizes those deferrals over the remaining period to maturity based on groupings of individual securities sold in five-year bands. That net deferral is reported as the interest maintenance reserve (“IMR”) in the accompanying Balance Sheets. Realized capital gains (losses) are reported in income, net of federal income tax and transferred to the IMR. The asset valuation reserve (“AVR”) provides a valuation allowance for invested assets. The AVR is determined by an NAIC prescribed formula with changes reflected directly in unassigned surplus.

Subsidiaries: The accounts and operations of the Company’s subsidiaries are not consolidated with the accounts and operations of the Company.

Goodwill: Goodwill is admitted subject to an aggregate limitation of 10% of the capital and surplus in the most recently filed quarterly statement, excluding EDP equipment, operating system software, net deferred tax assets, and net positive goodwill. Goodwill is amortized over the period the Company benefits economically, not to exceed 10 years. Goodwill held by non-insurance subsidiaries is assessed in accordance with GAAP, subject to certain limitations for holding companies and foreign insurance subsidiaries.

Separate Accounts: Separate account assets and liabilities reported in the accompanying Balance Sheets represent funds that are separately administered, principally for annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies, and for which the contract holder, rather than the Company, bears the investment risk. Separate account obligations are intended to be satisfied from separate account assets and not from assets of the general account. Separate accounts are generally reported at fair value. The operations of the separate accounts are not included in the Statements of Operations; however, income earned on amounts initially invested by the Company in the formation of new separate accounts is included in other revenue. Fees charged to contract holders, principally mortality, policy administration, and surrender charges are included in separate account administrative and contract fees. The assets in the separate accounts are not pledged to others as collateral or otherwise restricted. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, there were no gains (losses) on transfers of assets from the general account to the separate account.

Nonadmitted Assets: Certain assets designated as nonadmitted, principally furniture and equipment, past due agents’ balances, and other assets not specifically identified as an admitted asset within the NAIC SAP are excluded from the accompanying Balance Sheets and are charged directly to unassigned surplus.

Policy Acquisition Costs: The costs of acquiring and renewing business are expensed when incurred.

Policy Reserves: Reserves for life, long-term care, annuity, and deposit-type contracts are developed by actuarial methods and are determined based on interest rates, mortality tables and valuation methods prescribed by the NAIC that will provide, in the aggregate, reserves that are greater than or equal to the maximum of guaranteed policy cash values or the amounts required by the Insurance Department.

• The Company waives deduction of deferred fractional premiums on the death of lives insured and annuity contract holders and returns any premium beyond the date of death. Surrender values on policies do not exceed the corresponding benefit reserves. Additional reserves are established when the results of asset adequacy testing indicate the need for such reserves or the net premiums exceed the gross premiums on any insurance in-force. This includes asset adequacy testing required under NAIC Actuarial Guideline 38 Section 8D (“AG 38 8D”). The Company held gross reserves of $641 million and $325 million for the calculation required under AG 38 8D, of which $446 million and $0 million was ceded to Manulife Reinsurance Limited (“MRL”) under an existing coinsurance transaction at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company held reserves of $1,030 million and $1,018 million, respectively, on insurance in-force for which gross premiums were less than net premiums according to the standard of valuation set by the State of Michigan.

• Reserves for individual life insurance policies are maintained using the 1941, 1958, 1980, and 2001 Commissioner’s Standard Ordinary and American Experience Mortality Tables. Methods used include the net level premium method

2. Significant Accounting Policies - (continued)

principally for policies issued prior to 1978, a modified preliminary term method, and the Commissioner’s Reserve Valuation Method.

• Annuity and supplementary contracts with life contingency reserves are based principally on modifications of the 1937 Standard Annuity Table, the Group Annuity Mortality Tables for 1951, 1971, 1983, and 1994, the 1971 Individual Annuity Mortality Table, the 1983 Individual Annuity Mortality Table, and the 2000 Individual Annuity Mortality Table.

• Liabilities related to policyholder funds left on deposit with the Company are generally equal to fund balances.

• Long-term care reserves are generally calculated using the one-year preliminary term method based on various mortality, morbidity, and lapse tables.

• The mean reserve method is used to adjust the calculated terminal reserve to the appropriate reserve at December 31, 2014 or 2013. Mean reserves are determined by computing the terminal reserve for the plan at the rated age and assuming annual premiums have been paid as of the valuation date. For certain policies with substandard table ratings, mean reserves are based on rated mortality from 125% to 500% of standard rating; for certain policies with flat extra ratings, mean reserves are based on standard mortality rates increased by 1 to 25 deaths per thousand. An asset is recorded for deferred premiums, net of loading, to adjust the reserve for modal premium payments.

• For long-term care, the interpolated reserve method is used to adjust the calculated terminal reserve, and in addition an unearned premium reserve is held.

• Tabular interest, tabular less actual reserve released, and tabular costs have been determined by formula. Tabular interest on funds not involving life contingencies is calculated as one percent of the product of such valuation rate of interest times the mean of the amount of funds subject to such valuation rate of interest held at the beginning and end of the valuation year.

• From time to time, the Company finds it appropriate to modify certain required policy reserves because of changes in actuarial assumptions. Reserve modifications resulting from such determinations are recorded directly to unassigned surplus.

• Reserves for variable deferred annuity contracts are calculated in accordance with NAIC Actuarial Guideline 43, and primarily use the 1994 Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit or Annuity 2000 tables. The reserve is based on the present value of accumulated losses from the perspective of the Company. The liability is evaluated under both a standard scenario and stochastic scenario, and the Company holds the higher of the standard or stochastic values.

Reinsurance: 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 of the insurer.

Premiums, commissions, expense reimbursements, benefits, and reserves related to reinsured business are accounted for on bases consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. Premiums ceded to other companies have been reported as a reduction of premium income. Amounts applicable to reinsurance ceded for future policy benefits, unearned premium reserves, and claim liabilities have been reported as reductions of these items.

The Company records a liability for unsecured policy reserves ceded to reinsurers not authorized in the State of Michigan to assume such business. Changes to those amounts are credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus. Policy and contract liabilities ceded to reinsurers have been reported as reductions of the related reserves. Commissions allowed by reinsurers on business ceded are reported as income when received. Investment income ceded includes separate account fee income, net investment income and realized investment and other gains (losses), which was ceded to the affiliated reinsurers. NAIC SAP

NOTES TO STATUTORY-BASIS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

2. Significant Accounting Policies - (continued)

prescribes that no gain be recognized upon inception of a reinsurance treaty. The initial consideration is recorded directly to unassigned surplus and released into income over the life of the treaty.

Federal Income Taxes: Total federal income taxes are based upon the Company’s best estimate of its current and deferred tax assets or liabilities. Current tax expense is reported in the statements of operations as federal income tax expense if resulting from operations and within net unrealized capital gains (losses) if resulting from capital transactions. Changes in the balances of deferred taxes, which provide for book versus tax temporary differences, are subject to limitations and are reported within various lines within surplus. Accordingly, the reporting of statutory to tax temporary differences, such as reserves and policy acquisition costs, and of statutory to tax permanent differences, such as tax-exempt interest and tax credits, results in effective tax rates in the statements of operations that differ from the federal statutory tax rate.

Participating Insurance and Policyholder Dividends: Participating business represented approximately 26% and 27% of the Company’s aggregate reserve for life contracts at December 31, 2014 and 2013. The amount of policyholders’ dividends to be paid is approved annually by the Company’s Board of Directors. Policyholder dividends are recognized when declared rather than over the term of the related policies. The determination of the amount of policyholder dividends is complex and varies by policy type. In general, the aggregate amount of policyholders’ dividends is calculated based upon actual interest, mortality, morbidity, persistency, and expense experience for the year, as well as management’s judgment as to the appropriate level of statutory surplus to be retained by the Company. John Hancock Life Insurance Company (“JHLICO”) was a predecessor company that was merged into JHUSA on December 31, 2009. For additional information on the closed blocks, see the Closed Blocks Note.

Surplus Notes: Surplus notes are reported in capital and surplus, and the interest expense is not accrued unless approved for payment by the Insurance Department.

Statements of Cash Flow: Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in the statements of cash flow represent movements of cash and highly liquid debt investments with initial maturities of one year or less.

Premiums and Benefits: Premiums for whole, term, and universal life, long-term care, annuity policies, guaranteed interest, and group annuity contracts with any mortality and morbidity risk are recognized as revenue when due. Revenues for universal life and annuity policies with mortality or morbidity risk, except for guaranteed interest, term certain supplementary contracts, and funding agreements, consist of the entire premium received. Premiums received for annuity policies, guaranteed interest, funding agreements, variable universal life, and group annuity contracts without mortality or morbidity risk are recorded using deposit accounting and are credited directly to an appropriate policy reserve account, without recognizing premium revenue. Benefits incurred represent the total of death benefits paid, annuity benefits paid and the change in policy reserves.

Policy and Contract Claims: Policy and contract claims are determined on an individual-case basis for reported losses. Estimates of incurred but not reported losses are developed on the basis of past experience.

Guaranty Fund Assessments: Guaranty fund assessments are accrued when the Company receives knowledge of an insurance insolvency.

Reclassifications: Certain prior year amounts in the Company’s statutory-basis financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year financial statement presentation.

Variances Between NAIC SAP and GAAP: The more significant variances from GAAP are: (a) bonds would generally be reported at fair value; (b) changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments would generally be reported as revenue unless deemed an effective hedge; (c) embedded derivatives would be bifurcated from the underlying contract or security and accounted for separately at fair value; (d) income recognition on partnerships and LLCs, which are accounted for under the equity method, would not be limited to the amount of cash distribution; (e) majority-owned noninsurance subsidiaries, variable interest entities where the Company is the primary beneficiary, and certain other controlled entities would be consolidated; (f) changes in the balances of deferred income taxes would generally be included in net income; (g) market value adjusted (“MVA”) annuity products would be reported in the general account of the Company; (h) all assets, subject to valuation allowances, would be recognized; (i) reserves would generally be based upon the net level premium method or the estimated gross margin method with estimates of future mortality, morbidity, persistency and interest; (j) reinsurance ceded, unearned ceded premium and unpaid ceded claims would be reported as an asset; (k) AVR and IMR would not be recorded; (l) changes to the mortgage loan valuation allowance would be reported in income; (m) surplus notes would be reported as

liabilities; (n) premiums received in excess of policy charges for universal life and annuity policies would not be recognized as premium revenue and benefits would represent the excess of benefits paid over the policy account value and interest credited to the account values; (o) certain acquisition costs, such as commissions and other variable costs, directly related to acquiring new business are charged to current operations as incurred, would generally be capitalized and amortized based on profit emergence over the expected life of the policies or over the premium payment period; and (p) changes in unrealized capital gains (losses) and foreign currency translations would be presented as other comprehensive income.

3. Permitted Statutory Accounting Practices

The financial statements of the Company are presented in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Division.

For determining the Company’s solvency under the State of Michigan’s insurance laws and regulations, the Insurance Department recognizes only statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Michigan for determining and reporting the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. NAIC SAP has been adopted as a component of prescribed or permitted practices by the State of Michigan. The Director has the authority to prescribe or permit other specific practices that deviate from prescribed practices.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Director had not prescribed or permitted the Company to use any accounting practices that would result in the Company’s income or financial position to deviate from NAIC SAP.

4. Accounting Changes

Accounting changes adopted to conform to the provisions of NAIC SAP are reported as changes in accounting principles. The cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles is reported as an adjustment to unassigned surplus in the period of the change in accounting principle. The cumulative effect is the difference between the amount of unassigned surplus at the beginning of the year and the amount of unassigned surplus that would have been reported at that date if the new accounting principle had been applied retrospectively.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In March 2014, the NAIC adopted updated guidance regarding derivatives. The new guidance permits a company to designate the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (also referred to as the “Overnight Index Swap Rate” or “OIS”) as the hedged risk (or benchmark interest rate) in both cash flow and fair values hedges. The updated guidance also removed the requirement that similar hedges designate the same benchmark rate. The adoption of this guidance did not impact the Company’s Balance Sheets or Statements of Operations.

Future Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In December 2014, the NAIC adopted Actuarial Guideline 48 (“AG 48”) which intends to bring uniformity to the regulation of XXX and AXXX business subject to life insurer-owned captive reinsurance arrangements. The guidance requires the appointed actuary of the ceding company to perform an analysis of the amount and type of assets backing collateral. AG 48’s actuarial method determines the amount of “high quality assets” which must back collateral and is based on calculations from the NAIC principle based reserving valuation manual. Certified reinsurers as well as licensed and accredited reinsurers with no permitted practices will be exempt from AG 48. Additionally, AG 48 does not apply to policies that were issued prior to January 1, 2015 and included in a reserve financing arrangement as of December 31, 2014. As such, the adoption of AG 48 is not expected to have any material impact on the Company’s Balance Sheets or Statements of Operations.

Reconciliation Between Audited Financial Statements and NAIC Annual Statements

There were no differences in net income (loss) or capital and surplus between the audited financial statements and the NAIC statements as filed as of and for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.

At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company held below investment grade corporate bonds of $2,096 million and $2,428 million, with an aggregate fair value of $2,197 million and $2,551 million, respectively. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of the issuers of these bonds.

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.

At the end of each quarter, the MFC Loan Review Committee reviews all securities where there is evidence of impairment or a significant unrealized loss at the Balance Sheet date. Generally, securities with market value less than 60 percent of amortized cost for six months or more indicate an impairment is present. Accordingly, securities in this category are normally deemed impaired unless there is clear evidence they should not be impaired. 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 Transaction and Portfolio Review 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 maturity security 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. To the extent the Company determines that a security, other than loan-backed and structured securities, is deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, the difference between amortized cost and fair value would be charged to income. For loan-backed and structured securities in an unrealized loss position, where the Company does not intend to sell or is not likely to be required to sell the security, the Company calculates an other-than-temporary impairment loss by subtracting the net present value of the projected future cash flows of the security from the amortized cost of the security. The net present value 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 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 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 the Company 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 income in a future period.

The impact of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (OTTI) on Carrying Values (CV), including the Present Value (PV) of Cash Flows (CF) less than Book Value (BV), is as follows:

At December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were 574 and 945 bonds that had a gross unrealized loss, of which the single largest unrealized loss was $12 million and $87 million, respectively. The Company anticipates that these bonds will perform in accordance with their contractual terms and the Company currently has the ability and intent to hold these bonds until they recover or mature. 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.

For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, realized capital losses include $24 million, $88 million, and $108 million related to bonds that have experienced an other-than-temporary decline in value and were comprised of 21, 43, and 78 securities, respectively. These are primarily made up of impairments on public and private bonds and sub-prime mortgage-backed securities.

The total recorded investment in restructured corporate bonds at December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $17 million, $0 million, and $0 respectively. There were 2, 0, and 0 restructured corporate bonds for which an impairment was recognized during 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

* Affiliates — fair value represents the carrying value

At December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were 134 and 110 nonaffiliated equity securities that had a gross unrealized loss excluding securities that have been written down to zero. The single largest unrealized loss was $3 million and $3 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company anticipates that these equity securities will recover in value in the near term.

The Company has a process in place to identify equity securities that could potentially have an impairment that is other-than-temporary. The Company considers relevant facts and circumstances in evaluating whether the impairment of a security is other-than-temporary. Relevant facts and circumstances include (1) the length of time the fair value has been below cost; (2) the financial position of the issuer; and (3) the Company’s ability and intent to hold the security until it recovers. To the extent the Company determines that a security is deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, the difference between book value and fair value would be charged to income.

For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, realized capital losses include $2 million, $5 million, $5 million and related to preferred and common stocks that have experienced an other-than-temporary decline in value and were comprised of 33, 69, and 124 securities, respectively. These are primarily made up of impairments on public and private common stocks.

Generally, the terms of the restructured mortgage loans call for the Company to receive some form or combination of an equity participation in the underlying collateral, excess cash flows or an effective yield at the maturity of the loans sufficient to meet the original terms of the loans. There are no contractual commitments made to extend credit to debtors owning receivables whose terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings. The Company accrues interest income on impaired loans to the extent deemed collectible and the loan continues to perform under its original or restructured contractual terms. Interest income on non-performing loans generally is recognized on a cash basis.

In 2014, JHUSA acquired real estate from an affiliate, JHNY. The real estate had a book value of approximately $32 million and was recorded at fair value of approximately $33 million at the date of the transaction.

On December 12, 2014, the Company announced it entered into an arrangement with Allianz to co-invest up to $1 billion in the U.S. real estate market. As part of this arrangement, the Company sold 100% of certain real estate holding to an unaffiliated joint venture limited partnership (“LP”) in return for cash and a 20% equity interest in the LP. These properties have a book value of $343 million and fair value of $545 million, which resulted in a gain to operations of $161 million (after 20% deferral of realized gain). Going forward, the Company will provide the LP with property management services and through a wholly-owned subsidiary will provide the LP with asset management services.

Other Invested Assets

The Company had no investments in partnerships or LLCs that exceed 10% of its admitted assets at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Other invested assets primarily consist of investments in partnerships and LLCs. The Company recorded $3 million, $0 million, and $3 million of impairments on partnerships and limited liability companies during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. A periodic review of projected discounted cash flows was performed and the analysis provided evidence of the resulting impairments.

Other

The subprime lending sector, also referred to as B-paper, near-prime, or second chance lending, is the sector of the mortgage lending industry which lends to borrowers who do not qualify for prime market interest rates because of poor or insufficient credit history.

For purposes of this disclosure, subprime exposure is defined as the potential for financial loss through direct investment, indirect investment, or underwriting risk associated with risk from the subprime lending sector. For purposes of this note, subprime exposure is not limited solely to the risk associated with holding direct mortgage loans, but also includes any indirect risk through investments in asset-backed or structured securities, hedge funds, common stock, subsidiaries and affiliates, and insurance product issuance.

Although it can be difficult to determine the indirect risk exposures, it should be noted that not only does it include expected losses, it also includes the potential for losses that could occur due to significantly depressed fair value of the related assets in an illiquid market.

The Company had no direct exposure through investments in subprime mortgage loans as of December 31, 2014 or 2013.

Management considers several factors when classifying a structured finance or residential mortgage-backed security holding as “subprime” or placing a security in the highest risk category. These factors include the transaction’s weighted average FICO or credit score, loan-to-value ratio (LTV), geographic composition, lien position, loan purpose, and loan documentation.

The Company has entered into certain repurchase agreements with an aggregate carrying value of $0 million and $0 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. For such agreements, the Company agrees to a specified term, price, and interest rate through the date of the repurchase.

The Company’s practice is to require a minimum of 102% of the fair value of securities loaned under securities lending agreements to be maintained as non-cash collateral. Positions are marked to market and adjusted on a daily basis to ensure the 102% margin requirement is maintained. Any cash collateral received is not re-invested nor is a rebate paid to the lending counterparty. There were no securities on loan as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.

6. Derivatives

Derivatives are financial contracts, the value of which is derived from underlying interest rates, foreign exchange rates, credit, equity price movements, indices or other market risks arising from on-balance sheet financial instruments and selected anticipated transactions. The Company uses derivatives including swaps, forward and futures agreements, floors, and options to manage current and anticipated exposures to changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, credit and equity market prices.

F-26

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

NOTES TO STATUTORY-BASIS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

6. Derivatives - (continued)

Over-the-counter (“OTC”) swaps are contractual agreements between the Company and a counterparty to exchange a series of cash flows based upon rates applied to a notional amount. For interest rate swaps, counterparties generally exchange fixed or floating interest rate payments based on a notional value in a single currency. Cross currency swaps involve the exchange of principal amounts between parties as well as the exchange of interest payments in one currency for the receipt of interest payments in another currency. Total return swaps are contracts that involve the exchange of payments based on changes in the values of a reference asset, including any returns such as interest earned on these assets, in return for amounts based on reference rates specified in the contract.

Cleared interest rate swaps are contractual agreements between the Company and a counterparty whereby the transaction must be cleared through a central clearing house, and subject to mandatory margin and reporting requirements.

Forward and futures agreements are contractual obligations to buy or sell a financial instrument or foreign currency 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.

Interest rate floors are contracts with counterparties which require payment of a premium for the right to receive payments when the market interest rate on specified future dates falls below the agreed upon strike price. Interest rate treasury lock contracts are customized agreements securing current interest rates on Treasury securities for payment on a future date.

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.

Types of Derivatives and Derivative Strategies

Interest Rate Contracts. The Company uses interest rate futures contracts, OTC interest rate swap agreements, cleared interest rate swap agreements, pre-payable interest rate swap agreements, and interest rate treasury locks 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 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 in effective hedge accounting relationships. These derivatives 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.

The Company also uses interest rate swap agreements in effective hedge accounting relationships designed to hedge the variable cash flows associated with payments that it will receive on certain floating rate bonds.

In addition, the Company uses interest rate swap agreements in effective hedge accounting relationships to hedge the risk of changes in fair value of fixed rate assets and liabilities arising from changes in benchmark interest rates.

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 other 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 effective hedge accounting relationships and other hedging relationships.

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 other hedging relationships.

6. Derivatives - (continued)

The Company also purchases interest rate floors primarily to protect against interest rate exposure arising from mismatches between assets and liabilities (duration mismatches). The Company utilizes interest rate floors in other hedging relationships.

Foreign Currency Contracts. Foreign currency derivatives, including foreign currency swaps, foreign currency forwards, and foreign currency futures 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.

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 effective hedge accounting relationships and other hedging relationships.

Foreign currency futures are contractual obligations to buy or sell a foreign currency on a predetermined future date at a specified price. These contracts are standardized contracts traded on an exchange. The Company utilizes foreign exchange futures in other hedging relationships.

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

Equity index options are contractual agreements whereby the holder has the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call option) or sell (put option) an underlying equity market index on or before a specified future date at a specified price. The Company utilizes equity index options that are exchange-traded in other 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 equity index futures in other hedging relationships.

Credit Contracts. The Company manages credit risk through the issuance of credit default swaps (“CDS”). A CDS 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.

Replication Synthetic Assets. Replication synthetic asset transactions (“RSATs”) are derivative transactions made in combination with a cash instrument in order to reproduce the investment characteristic of an otherwise permissible investment. The Company uses interest rate swaps and credit default swaps in these transactions when direct investments are either too expensive to acquire or otherwise unavailable in the market. Such derivatives can only be RSATs and not hedging vehicles.

Hedging Relationships

The Company generally does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes. In certain circumstances, these hedges also meet the requirements for hedge accounting and are reported in a manner consistent with the hedged asset or liability. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, the Company recorded unrealized gains of $1,215 million, $168 million, and $750 million, respectively, related to derivatives that no longer qualify for hedge accounting.

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 and currency forwards to manage its exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations and interest rate fluctuations.

Cash Flow Hedges. The Company uses interest rate swaps and interest rate treasury locks 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.

In 2012, the Company de-designated $1.6 billion (notional principal) of forward-starting interest rate swaps for the life insurance business. The de-designation of these interest rate swaps resulted in an increase to unassigned surplus of $288 million, net of tax, as of December 31, 2012.

In 2014, the Company concluded that a portion of the hedged transactions for its long-term care business and life insurance business were probable not to occur resulting in the de-designation of $2.7 billion (notional principal) of forward-starting interest rate swaps. The de-designation of these interest rate swaps resulted in an increase to unrealized capital gains (losses) of $445 million, net of tax. In addition as part of our affiliate reinsurance agreement with JHRECO, we were required as part of the net investment income component of the treaty settlement calculation to cede $440 million, net of tax, and therefore the overall impact of this transaction was not material to capital and surplus.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, all of the Company’s hedged forecast transactions qualified as cash flow hedges and no cash flow hedges were discontinued because it was probable that the original forecasted transactions would occur by the end of the originally specified time period documented at inception of the hedging relationship.

The maximum time frame for which variable cash flows are hedged is 32 years.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments in Effective Hedge Accounting or RSAT Relationships. The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements, cancelable interest rate swap agreements, and interest rate futures contracts to manage interest rate risk, total return swap agreements to manage equity risk, and CDS to manage credit risk. The Company also uses interest rate treasury locks and interest rate floor agreements to manage exposure to interest rates without designating the derivatives as hedging instruments. Interest rate floor agreements hedge the interest rate risk associated with minimum interest rate guarantees in certain life insurance and annuity businesses.

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. The Company manages a hedging program to reduce its exposure to certain contracts with 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), equity index options, and U.S. Treasury futures to match the sensitivities of the GMWB and GMDB liabilities to the market risk factors.

The Company also has a macro equity risk hedging program using equity and currency futures, as well as equity index options. 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.

The Company uses foreign currency swaps and foreign currency forwards to reduce the risk from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates associated with its assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

Deferred net realized gains and losses are reported in IMR and amortized over the remaining period to expiration date.

Credit Default Swaps

The Company replicates exposure to specific issuers by selling credit protection via CDS 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.

¹  The rating agency designations are based on S&P where available followed by Moody’s, Dominion Bond Rating Services (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 CDS is weighted based on notional amounts.

The Company holds no purchased credit protection at December 31, 2014 and 2013. The average credit rating of the counterparties guaranteeing the underlying credits is A+ and the weighted average maturity is 3 years.

Credit Risk

The Company’s exposure to loss on derivatives is limited to the amount of any net gains that may have accrued with a particular counterparty. Gross derivative counterparty exposure is measured as the total fair value (including accrued interest) of all outstanding contracts in a gain position excluding any offsetting contracts in negative positions and the impact of collateral on hand. 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 OTC 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, 2014 and 2013, the Company accepted collateral consisting of cash of $2,939 million and $640 million, and various securities with a fair value of $3,895 million and $2,155 million, respectively, which is held in separate custodial accounts. In addition, the Company has pledged collateral to support both the OTC derivative instruments, exchange traded futures and cleared interest rate swap transactions. For further details regarding pledged collateral see the Investments Note.

Under U.S. regulations, certain interest rate swap agreements and credit default swap agreements are required to be cleared through central clearing houses. These transactions are contractual agreements that require initial and variation margin collateral postings and are settled on a daily basis through a clearing house. As such, they reduce the credit risk exposure in the event of default by a counterparty.

Transactions with Affiliates

The Company has entered into two currency swap agreements with JHFC which are recorded at fair value. JHFC utilizes the currency swaps to hedge currency exposure on foreign currency financial instruments. The Company has also entered into two currency agreements with external counterparties which offset the currency swap agreements with JHFC. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the currency swap agreements with JHFC and the external counterparties had offsetting fair values of $238 million and $19 million, respectively.

7. Fair Value

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:

• Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value and Reported in the Balance Sheet after Initial Recognition — This category includes assets and liabilities measured at fair value. Financial instruments in this category include bonds and preferred stocks carried at the lower of cost or fair value due to their SVO quality rating, common stocks, derivatives, and separate account assets.

• Other Financial Instruments Not Reported at Fair Value After Initial Recognition — This category includes assets and liabilities which do not require the additional disclosures as follows:

Bonds — For bonds, 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.

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. The fair value of impaired mortgage loans is based on the net of the collateral less estimated cost to obtain and sell.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments — The carrying values for cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

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

Policy Reserves — Policy reserves consists of guaranteed investment contracts. The fair values associated with these financial instruments are determined by projecting cash flows and discounting the cash flows 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.

Policyholders’ and Beneficiaries Funds — Includes term certain contracts, funding agreements, supplementary contracts without life contingencies and those balances that can be withdrawn by the policyholder at any time without prior notice or penalty. The fair values associated with the term certain contracts, funding agreements and supplementary contracts without life contingencies are determined by projecting cash flows and discounting the cash flows 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. For those balances that can be withdrawn by the policyholder at any time without prior notice or penalty, the fair value is the amount estimated to be payable to the policyholder as of the reporting date, which is generally the carrying value.

Consumer Notes — The fair value of consumer notes is determined by projecting cash flows and discounting the cash flows 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.

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value and Reported in the Balance Sheet after Initial Recognition

Valuation Hierarchy

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. Active markets are defined as having the following characteristics for the measured asset/liability; (i) many transactions, (ii) current prices, (iii) price quotes not varying substantially among market makers, (iv) narrow bid/ask spreads, and (v) most information is publicly available. 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.

• 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. Certain of the Company’s separate account assets and derivative assets and liabilities are included within Level 2. A description of valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of derivatives is described below.

• 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 impaired bonds and less liquid securities, such as structured asset-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and other securities that have little or no price transparency. The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of derivative assets and separate account investments in timber and agriculture are included in Level 3 as described below.

Determination of Fair Value

The fair value of an asset is the amount at which that asset could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties that is other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The fair value of a liability is the amount at which that liability could be incurred or settled in a current transaction between willing parties that is other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

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). In instances where there is little or no market activity for the same or similar instruments, the Company estimates fair value using methods, models and assumptions that management believes market participants would use to determine a current transaction price. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment which becomes significant with increasingly complex instruments or pricing models. Where appropriate, adjustments are included to reflect the risk inherent in a particular methodology, model or input 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:

Bonds

Refer to the previous page for the determination of fair value of bonds. Generally, impaired bonds with a NAIC designation rating of 6 whose cost is greater than its fair value are reported at fair value and are classified within Level 3.

Preferred Stocks

Preferred stocks with active markets are classified within Level 1, as fair values are based on quoted market prices. Preferred stocks not traded in active markets are classified within Level 3.

F-35

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

NOTES TO STATUTORY-BASIS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

7. Fair Value - (continued)

Common Stocks

Common stocks with active markets are classified within Level 1, as fair values are based on quoted market prices. Common stocks not traded in active markets are classified within Level 3.

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 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.

Separate Account Assets and Liabilities

For separate accounts structured as a non-unitized fund, the fair value of separate account assets is based on the fair value of the underlying assets owned by the separate account. For separate accounts structured as a unitized fund, the fair value of the separate account assets is based on the fair value of the underlying funds owned by the separate account. Assets owned by the Company’s separate accounts primarily include: investments in mutual funds, bonds, common stock, short-term investments, real estate, and cash and cash equivalents. Investment performance related to separate account assets is fully offset by corresponding amounts credited to contract holders whose interest in the separate account assets is recorded by the Company as separate account liabilities. Separate account liabilities are set equal to the fair value of separate account assets.

The fair value of fund investments is based upon quoted market prices or reported net asset value (“NAV”). Fund investments that are traded in an active market and have a NAV that the Company can access at the measurement date are classified within Level 1. Level 2 assets consist primarily of bonds which are valued using matrix pricing with independent pricing data.

Separate account assets classified as Level 3 consist primarily of fixed maturity and equity investments in private companies, which own timber and agriculture and carry them at fair value. The values of the timber and agriculture investments are estimated using generally accepted valuation techniques. A comprehensive appraisal is performed shortly after initial purchase and at two or three-year intervals thereafter. 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 an 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 asset value. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s timberland investments are harvest volumes, timber prices, operating costs and discount rates. Significant changes to any one of these inputs in isolation could result in a significant change to fair value measurement. Holding other factors constant, an increase to either harvest volumes or timber prices would tend to increase the fair value of a timberland investment, while an increase in operating costs or discount rate would have the opposite effect. These investments are classified as Level 3 by the companies owning them, and therefore the equity investments in these companies are considered to be Level 3 by the Company.

Transfers of Level 1 and Level 2 Assets and Liabilities

The Company’s policy is to record transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 at their fair values as of the end of each reporting period, consistent with the date of the determination of fair value. Assets are transferred out of Level 1 when they are no longer transacted with sufficient frequency and volume in an active market. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not have any transfers from Level 1 to Level 2. Conversely, assets are transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 when transaction volume and frequency are indicative of an active market. The Company did not transfer assets from Level 2 to Level 1 during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

NOTES TO STATUTORY-BASIS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

7. Fair Value - (continued)

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 instruments into Level 3. The transfers out of Level 3 primarily result from observable market data becoming available for that instrument, thus eliminating the need to extrapolate market data beyond observable points. Additionally, securities carried at fair value at the beginning of the period but carried at amortized cost at the end of the period due to rating change or change in fair value relative to amortized cost, are included in transfers out of Level 3. Conversely, any securities carried at amortized cost at the beginning of the period and carried at fair value at the end of the year due to SVO rating change or change in fair value relative to amortized cost, are included into transfers into Level 3.

8. Reinsurance

Certain premiums and benefits are assumed from or ceded to affiliate and other insurance companies under various reinsurance agreements. The Company entered into these reinsurance agreements to shift underlying risk on certain of its products, and to improve cash flow and statutory capital. The ceded reinsurance agreements provide the Company with increased capacity to write larger risks and maintain its exposure to loss within its capital resources.

Total reinsurance amounts included in the Company’s accompanying statutory-basis financial statements were as follows:

	Years ended December 31,
	2014			2013			2012
	(in millions)
Premiums earned
Direct	$	19,525		$	20,311		$	21,716
Assumed		792			1,062			942
Ceded		(7,579	)		(8,491	)		(15,104	)
Net	$	12,738		$	12,882		$	7,554
Benefits to policyholders ceded	$	18,500		$	17,988		$	18,235

Reserve amounts ceded to reinsurers not authorized in the State of Michigan are mostly covered by letters of credit or trust agreements. Amounts payable or recoverable for reinsurance on policy and contract liabilities are not subject to periodic or maximum limits. At December 31, 2014, any material recoveries were secured by letters of credit or assets placed in trust by the assuming company.

Neither the Company nor any of its related parties control, directly or indirectly, any external reinsurers with whom the Company conducts business. No policies issued by the Company have been reinsured with a foreign company, which is controlled, either directly or indirectly, by a party not primarily engaged in the business of insurance. The Company does not have any reinsurance agreements in effect under which the reinsurer may unilaterally cancel the agreement. At December 31, 2014, there was no reinsurance agreements in effect such that the amount of losses paid or accrued exceed the total direct premium collected.

As of December 31, 2014, if all reinsurance agreements were cancelled the estimated aggregate reduction in unassigned surplus is $898 million.

On January 1, 2010, the assets supporting the policyholders who reside in the state of New York (“NY business”) were transferred to JHNY from the Company. The transfer included participating traditional life insurance, universal life insurance, fixed deferred and immediate annuities, participating pension contracts, and variable annuities. The NY business was transferred using assumption reinsurance, modified coinsurance and coinsurance with cut-through provisions.

The NY business related to participating traditional life insurance policies was transferred from JHUSA to JHNY under a coinsurance agreement and was immediately retroceded back to JHUSA using a coinsurance funds withheld agreement. JHNY retained the invested assets supporting this block of business. The NY business related to variable universal life was reinsured through coinsurance and modified coinsurance. The NY business related to universal life was transferred from the Company to JHNY under coinsurance agreements.

The NY business related to a majority of the fixed deferred annuity business was transferred from the Company to JHNY under an assumption reinsurance agreement. The NY business related to variable annuities and some participating pension contracts where assets were held in separate accounts were reinsured through modified coinsurance. The NY business related to fixed deferred and immediate annuities and participating pension contracts was transferred from the Company to JHNY under a coinsurance agreement.

The Company reinsures certain portions of its long-term care insurance business with JHRECO through coinsurance funds withheld transactions. Under reinsurance treaties covering life insurance business, the Company cedes to JHRECO on a coinsurance funds withheld basis to the death benefits from the no-lapse guarantee on a small block of policies. The Company also reinsures a portion of the risk related to certain annuity policies and during 2013 a small number of these policies were recaptured for administration purposes. This recapture did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations. The reinsurance agreement is written on a modified coinsurance basis where the assets supporting the reinsured policies remain invested with the Company.

The Company’s total settlement amount was $489 million, $55 million, and $82 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and the settlement calculation consisted primarily of ceded investment income, ceded benefit payments and ceded statutory reserves.

Other amounts payable on reinsurance		837		55		112
Funds withheld from unauthorized reinsurers		1,251		1,256		1,507

The Company reinsures 87% of certain group annuity contracts in-force with MRBL. The reinsurance agreement covers all contracts, excluding the guaranteed benefit rider. 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.

The Company reinsures 90% of a significant block of variable annuity contracts in-force with MRBL. 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. 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 Statements of Operations. The Company paid / (received) from MRBL $1,907 million, ($1,174) million, and $259 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and the settlement consisted primarily of ceded investment income related to non-qualifying hedging strategies and changes in the modified coinsurance and coinsurance reserves.

The Company reinsures 90% of the non-reinsured risk of the JHLICO closed block. The reinsurance agreement is written on a modified coinsurance basis where the related financial assets remain invested with the Company. As the reinsurance agreement does not subject the reinsurer to the reasonable possibility of significant loss, it was classified as structured reinsurance and given deposit-type accounting treatment with only the reinsurance risk fee being reported in other operating costs and expenses in the Statements of Operations.

On July 31, 2013, MFC signed an agreement to sell its life insurance business in Taiwan to CTBC Life Insurance Company (CTBC Life). Under the agreement, CTBC Life will assume all of the life insurance business related obligations. In connection with this transaction, on December 31, 2013, the Company paid $111 million in fees to an affiliate, Manufacturers Life Reinsurance Limited for the recapture of certain traditional life business reserves and net liabilities of $42 million, which resulted in a pre-tax loss of $69 million.

Non-Affiliated Reinsurance

The Company entered into a coinsurance agreement with Reinsurance Group of America (“RGA”) to reinsure 90% of its fixed deferred annuity business with an effective date of April 1, 2012. The transaction was structured such that the Company transferred the actuarial liabilities and related invested assets which included $387 million in cash and $5 billion in bonds and mortgage loans. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will maintain responsibility for servicing of the policies and managing some of the assets. The transaction resulted in a charge to pre-tax income of $257 million, which included a ceding commission paid of $218 million and a decrease of $123 million to statutory surplus.

On September 30, 2012, the Company entered into a transaction with Commonwealth Annuity and Life Insurance Company (“CWA”), in which CWA recaptured a block of universal life policies, with an effective date of July 1, 2012. The transaction included the transfer to CWA of $378 million in actuarial liabilities and $309 million of cash and policy loans. The transaction resulted in a gain to pre-tax income of $60 million which included a ceding commission received of $57 million and an increase of $33 million to statutory surplus.

On July 1, 2011, JHUSA entered into a sale of its Life Retrocession business by way of a coinsurance treaty with Pacific Life Insurance Company that resulted in the recognition of approximately $432 million deferred gain (net of deferred taxes) recorded to surplus. During 2013, JHUSA novated 95% of the underlying reinsurance agreements to Pacific Life Insurance Company. Based on this novation, the Company recorded a gain of $352 million to the Statements of Operations (pre-tax). In 2014, the Company completed the novation of the remaining 5% of the agreements and recorded $20 million to the Statements of Operations (pre-tax).

The Company has recorded a valuation allowance against specific general business tax credit carryforwards of $50 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. These tax credits were generated by the legacy JHFC group and are subject to the separate return limitation rules. These credits will not expire until 2019, however due to restrictions on the utilization, management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefit. 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.

In accordance with the income tax sharing agreements in effect for the applicable tax years, the Company’s income tax expense (benefit) is computed as if the Company filed separate federal income tax returns with tax benefits provided for operating losses and tax credits when utilized by the consolidated group. Intercompany settlements of income taxes are made through an increase or reduction to amounts due to or from affiliates. Such settlements occur on a periodic basis in accordance with the tax sharing agreements.

Taxes receivable from (payable to) affiliates are $728 million and ($137) million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and are included in current federal income taxes payable on the Balance Sheets.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and local jurisdictions. The Company is under continuous examination by the IRS. Effective for 2010, the Company’s common parent, JHFC, merged into Manulife Holdings (Delaware) LLC (“MHDLLC”) resulting in a new combined group. With respect to the legacy MHDLLC

consolidated return group, the IRS audit for tax years through 2009 have been closed. With respect to the legacy JHFC group, the IRS has completed its examinations of tax years 1997 through 2009. The IRS has issued statutory notices of deficiency relating to issues in years 1997 through 2004. JHFC filed a petition in U.S. Tax Court pertaining to leveraged leases to contest years 1997 to 2001 and the trial was completed in 2011 with final judgment entered on July 22, 2014. The IRS issued Revenue Agent Reports for tax years 2005 through 2009. Protests were filed with respect to disagreed issues. The IRS commenced its audit of tax years 2010 through 2013 in September 2014.

On August, 5, 2013, the U.S. Tax Court issued an opinion in the litigation between the Company and the IRS involving the tax treatment of certain leveraged lease investments. The Court’s opinion effectively ruled against the Company with respect to deductions claimed for tax years 1997 — 2001. The Company and the Internal Revenue Service are in the process of determining the impact of the decision on years subsequent to the years that were decided by the Court. The Company has made advance payments of tax and interest and is awaiting final IRS assessments. Although the Company is fully reserved for the taxes and interest that could be due, this decision may result in a decrease in the admissible book value of other deferred tax assets include in surplus in subsequent periods, absent consideration of further management actions.

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

	2014			2013
	(in millions)
Balance at beginning of year	$	2,715		$	3,186
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year		49			150
Payments		(550	)		(90	)
Additions for tax positions of prior years		23			59
Reductions for tax positions of prior years		(235	)		(590	)
Balance at end of year	$	2,002		$	2,715

Included in the balances as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, are $154 million and $149 million of unrecognized benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. Included in the balances as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, are $1,848 million and $2,566 million of tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. Approximately $1,734 million and $2,281 million of such amounts at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, represent deferred tax liability balances related to leveraged lease deductions taken in prior year tax returns that were considered in determining the amount of deferred tax assets that can be admitted by offsetting such amounts against deferred tax liabilities. 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 2002 through 2009 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 financial statements.

The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits and penalties in income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. The Company recognized approximately $9 million of interest expense, and $11 million, and $24 million of interest benefit for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company had approximately $209 million and $404 million accrued for interest as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

10. Capital and Surplus

There are no restrictions placed on the Company’s unassigned surplus other than restrictions on dividend payments described below.

Under Michigan State insurance laws, no insurer may pay any shareholder dividends from any source other than statutory earned surplus without the prior approval of the Director. Dividends to the shareholder that may be paid without prior approval of the Director are limited by the laws of the State of Michigan. Such dividends are permissible if, together with

other dividends or distributions made within the preceding 12 months, they do not exceed the greater of 10% of the JHUSA surplus as of December 31 of the preceding year, or the net gain from operations excluding realized capital gains and (losses) for the 12 month period ending December 31 of the immediately preceding year. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company paid a dividend to its parent company MIC of $500 million and $300 million, respectively. The company paid no dividends for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Life/health insurance companies are subject to certain Risk-Based Capital (“RBC”) requirements as specified by the NAIC. Under those requirements, the amount of capital and surplus maintained by a life/health insurance company is to be determined based on the various risk factors related to it. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, based on calculations pursuant to those requirements, the Company’s total adjusted capital exceeds the company action level.

The Company has surplus notes described below in the amount of $991 million. The issuance of the surplus notes was approved by the insurance regulators with the following repayment conditions and restrictions: 1) interest payments may be made only with prior approval by the Insurance Department and 2) repayment of the principal due may be made only with the prior approval of the Insurance Department.

Surplus notes in the amount of $450 million were issued on February 25, 1994, for cash pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. 100% of the issued and outstanding surplus notes are represented by a global note registered in the name of a nominee of the Depository Trust Company. The interest rate is fixed at 7.375%, and interest is payable semi-annually. The notes mature on February 15, 2024. Interest expense was $33 million for years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. Total interest paid through December 31, 2014 was $680 million.

Pursuant to a subordinated surplus note dated September 30, 2008, the Company issued two notes in the amount of $295 million and $110 million to an affiliate, John Hancock Insurance Agency, Inc. (“JHIA”). The interest rate is fixed at 7% per annum and is payable semi-annually. The notes mature on March 31, 2033. The combined interest expense on the notes was $29 million for years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. Total interest paid through December 31, 2014 was $173 million.

Pursuant to an amended and restated subordinated surplus note dated September 30, 2008, the Company borrowed $136 million from JHFC. Interest is calculated and reset quarterly at a fluctuating rate equal to 3-month LIBOR plus 130 basis points and is payable semi-annually. The note matures on December 15, 2016. Interest expense was $2 million, $2 million, and $2 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Total interest paid through December 31, 2014 was $11 million.

Under Michigan State liquidation statutes, the claims of the Depository Trust Company, JHIA, and JHFC (“the surplus noteholders”) come before those of the Company’s shareholders. There is no preferential treatment in claims between the surplus noteholders.

Management believes the allocation methods used are reasonable and appropriate in the circumstances; however, the Company’s 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.

Other

During 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, the Company received dividends of $43 million, $297 million, and $274 million from John Hancock Investment Management Services LLC, $90 million, $98 million, and $96 million from JHD, $0 million, $0 million, and $0 million from JHNY, and $72 million, $0 million, and $0 million from John Hancock Subsidiaries, LLC (JHS). These dividends are included in the Company’s net investment income.

During 2014, the Company made a capital contribution of $3 million to JHS in exchange for one share of its common stock.

The Company did not own any shares of the stock of its parent, MIC, or its ultimate parent, MFC at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The Company did not recognize any impairment write-down for its investment in subsidiaries, controlled or affiliated companies for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company operates a liquidity pool in which affiliates can invest excess cash. Terms of operation and participation in the liquidity pool are set out in the Second Restated and Amended Liquidity Pool and Loan Facility Agreement effective January 1, 2010. The maximum aggregate amounts that JHUSA can accept into the Liquidity Pool are $5 billion in U.S. dollar deposits and $200 million in Canadian dollar deposits. Under the terms of the agreement, certain participants may receive advances from the Liquidity Pool up to certain predetermined limits. By acting as the banker the Company can earn a spread over the amount it pays its affiliates and this aggregation and resulting economies of scale allows the affiliates to improve the investment return on their excess cash. Interest payable on U.S. dollar funds will be reset daily to the one-month U.S. Dollar London Inter-Bank Bid Rate (“LIBID”) and interest payable on Canadian dollar funds is based off the one-month Canadian Dollar Offering Rate (“CDOR”) plus a spread.

The Company also enters into debt and reinsurance transactions with its affiliates. Please refer to the debt and reinsurance notes for further details.

12. Commitments, Guarantees, Contingencies, and Legal Proceedings

Commitments: The Company has extended commitments to purchase long-term bonds of $207 million, purchase other invested assets of $1,917 million, purchase real estate of $114 million, and issue agricultural and commercial mortgages of $175 million at December 31, 2014. If funded, loans related to real estate mortgages would be fully collateralized by related properties. Approximately 41% of these commitments expire in 2015 and the majority of the remainder expires by 2019.

There were no leasing arrangements that the Company entered into as lessee which could have a material financial effect.

During 2001, the Company entered into an office ground lease agreement, which expires on September 20, 2096. During 2012, the Company entered into a parking lease agreement, which expires on December 31, 2050. The terms of the lease agreements provide for adjustments in future periods. The future minimum lease payments, by year and in the aggregate, under these leases and other non-cancelable operating leases along with the associated sub-lease income are as follows:

	Non-cancelable Operating Leases		Sub-lease Income

Total	$	407	$	4

Other than the Company’s investment real estate, the Company does not have any material sub-lease income related to its office space. Leasing of investment real estate is not a significant part of the Company’s business activities in terms of revenue, net income, or assets.

The Company’s investment in leveraged leases relates to equipment used primarily in the transportation industries; however, this type of leasing transaction is not a significant part of the Company’s business activities in terms of revenue, net income, or assets.

On December 23, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with New York Life under which John Hancock Retirement Plan Services, LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, will acquire New York Life’s Retirement Plan Services business. In addition, New York Life has agreed to assume, on a reinsurance basis, 60% of the Company’s in-force participating life insurance JHLICO closed block. Subject to the receipt of all necessary approvals and other customary closing conditions, the transaction is anticipated to close in the first half of 2015.

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 statutory accounting principles.

The Company has issued guarantee agreements pursuant to which the Company guarantees the obligations of JHNY and JHLH under the OTC International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) cleared and exchange-traded

F-62

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

NOTES TO STATUTORY-BASIS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

12. Commitments, Guarantees, Contingencies, and Legal Proceedings - (continued)

derivative agreements and transactions entered into by JHNY and JHLH with external counterparties. The ISDA guarantees are subject to an overall limit of $1 billion of Potential Future Exposure, using a three-week and 95% confidence parameters, in calculating the counterparty risk exposure.

The Company is party to a financial support agreement with JHLH pursuant to which it has agreed to maintain JHLH’s capital level such that its risk-based capital ratio shall be at or above 225% of the company action level annually. In addition, under the terms of the financial support agreement, the Company undertakes to provide sufficient liquidity to enable JHLH to make timely payment of its contractual obligations.

Contingencies: The Company is an investor in a number of leasing transactions. On August 5, 2013, the U.S. Tax Court issued an opinion effectively ruling in the government’s favor in the litigation between John Hancock and the Internal Revenue Service involving the tax treatment of John Hancock’s investments in certain leverage leases. The Company and the Internal Revenue Service are in the process of determining the impact of the decision on years subsequent to the years that were decided by the Court. Please refer to the federal income taxes note for further details. The Company has made advance payments of tax and interest and is awaiting final IRS assessments. Although the Company is fully reserved for the taxes and interest that could be due, this decision may result in a decrease in the admissible book value of other deferred tax assets included in surplus in subsequent periods, absent consideration of further management actions.

The Company acts as an intermediary/broker in OTC derivative instruments. In these cases, the Company enters into derivative transactions on behalf of affiliated companies and then enters into offsetting derivative transactions with the affiliate. In the event of default of either party, the Company is still obligated to fulfill its obligations with the other party.

The Company is subject to insurance guaranty fund laws in the states in which it does business. Pursuant to these laws, insurance companies are assessed, and required to make periodic payments, to be used to pay benefits to policyholders and claimants of insolvent or rehabilitated insurance companies. Many states allow these assessments to be credited against future premium taxes. The Company believes such assessments in excess of amounts accrued will not materially affect its financial position.

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, the Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services, the Michigan Attorney General, the SEC, the Financial 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. An estimation of the range of potential outcomes in any given matter is often unavailable until such matters have developed and sufficient information emerges to support an assessment of the range of possible loss, such as quantification of a damage demand from plaintiffs, discovery from other parties and investigation of factual allegations, rulings by the court on motions or appeals, analysis by experts, and the progress of settlement negotiations. On a quarterly and annual basis, the Company reviews relevant information with respect to litigation contingencies and updates its accruals and estimates of reasonably possible losses or ranges of loss based on such reviews.

14. Separate Accounts

Separate accounts held by the Company include individual and group variable annuity and variable life products that offer guarantee and non-guaranteed returns. The net investment experience of the separate account is credited directly to the policyholder and can be positive or negative.

For guarantees of amounts in the event of death, the net amount at risk is defined as the excess of the initial sum insured over the current sum insured for fixed premium variable life insurance contracts, and, for other variable life insurance contracts, is equal to the sum insured when the account value is zero and the policy is still in force.

The deposits related to variable annuities generally provide a GMDB. For annuity products, this can take the form of either (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 benefit of (b) and (c) above. The assets and liabilities of these accounts are carried at fair value. The GMDB reserve is held in the Company’s general account policy reserves.

The Company sold contracts with Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (“GMIB”) riders from 1998 to 2004. The GMIB rider provides 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 could purchase at then-current annuity purchase rates.

The Company sold contracts with a GMWB rider and has since offered multiple variations of this optional benefit. 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.

Reinsurance has been utilized to mitigate risk related to some of the GMDB and GMIB 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 deposits related to the variable life insurance contracts are invested in separate accounts and the Company guarantees a specified death benefit if certain specified premiums are paid by the policyholder, regardless of separate account performance.

The following assumptions and methodology were used to determine the amounts above at December 31, 2014 and 2013:

• Actuarial Guideline XLIII (AG43) is used in both years to determine the aggregate reserve for products falling under the scope. Assumptions used in the standard scenario are prescribed by the guideline. Assumptions used in the stochastic scenarios are detailed below.

• The stochastically generated projection scenarios have met the scenario calibration criteria prescribed in AG43.

• In 2014 and 2013, annuity mortality is based on the Ruark Variable Annuity Table, which is based on an industry study of variable annuity deaths. The table is further adjusted by factors varied by rider types (living benefit/GMDB only) and qualified and non-qualified business.

• In 2014 and 2013, annuity base lapse rates vary by product, policy year, and rider type, where the lapse rates range from 0.5% to 40% for GMDB, GMIB and GMWB. These rates are dynamically reduced for guarantees that are in-the-money. Beginning in 2012, rates are also dynamically increased for GMWBs that are out-of-the-money.

• For variable annuities, the swap curve at December 31 is used for discounting in both years.

• For variable annuities, mean return, volatility and correlation assumptions are determined by indices, which have met the calibration criteria prescribed in AG43.

Retirement Plans: The Company participates in the John Hancock Pension Plan, a qualified defined benefit plan that covers substantially all of its employees. The Company also participates in the John Hancock Non-Qualified Pension Plan, a nonqualified defined benefit plan for employees whose qualified cash balance benefit is restricted by the Internal Revenue Code. Both plans are sponsored by MIC. The non-qualified defined benefit plan was frozen except for grandfathered participants as of January 1, 2008, and the benefits accrued under this plan continue to be subject to the plan’s provisions.

The Company is 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 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. The expense for these plans was $37 million, $41 million, and $57 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company participates in the John Hancock Supplemental Retirement Plan, a non-qualified defined contribution plan maintained by MFC, which was established as of January 1, 2008 with participant directed investment options. The expense for this plan was not material for the years ended 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The prior non-qualified defined contribution 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 also maintains a separate rabbi trust for the purpose of holding assets to be used to satisfy its obligations with respect to certain other non-qualified retirement plans of $332 million and $344 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In the event of insolvency of the Company, the rabbi trust assets can be used to satisfy claims of general creditors.

401 (k) Plans: The Company participates in qualified defined contribution plans for its employees who meet certain eligibility requirements. These plans include the Investment-Incentive Plan for John Hancock Employees and the John Hancock Savings and Investment Plan. Both plans are sponsored by JHUSA. Expense 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 the defined contribution plans was not material for the years ended 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Deferred Compensation Plan: The Company maintains the Deferred Compensation Plan for Certain Employees of John Hancock, and the Deferred Compensation Plan of the John Hancock Financial Network, both of which are deferred compensation plans sponsored by MFC. These plans are for a select group of management or highly compensated employees and certain qualified agents. The plans are fully funded and accounts are maintained by a third-party administrator. Under these plans, participants have the flexibility and opportunity to invest their plan balances in mutual funds. The liability for these plans at December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $91 million and $88 million, respectively.

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company offered the Legacy Deferred Compensation Plan for Certain Employees of John Hancock Life Insurance Company (USA), the legacy plan, which is closed to new participation and is unfunded. These are notional accounts and all liabilities have remained with the Company and are paid out of general account assets when a distribution is taken. The liability for this plan was not material as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 respectively.

Postretirement Benefit Plan: The Company participates in the John Hancock Employee Welfare Plan which is sponsored by MIC. Consistent with the pension plan, the Company is jointly and severally liable for the funding requirements of the plan and will recognize its allocation, from MIC, of the benefits earned by plan participants as postretirement benefits expense in its Statements of Operations. The allocation is derived by utilizing participant data, provided by the plan actuary, to calculate the benefits earned; i.e., service cost, relating to participants employed by the Company. In addition, any difference between actual cash paid for benefits to plan participants and benefits earned is recorded directly to unassigned surplus. The expense and charge to surplus for the John Hancock Employee Welfare Plan were not material for the years ended 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

17. 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. As a result of the merger in 2009, the property and obligations of the JHLICO closed block became the property and obligations of JHUSA, but the Company operates these two closed blocks separately.

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 policyholders included in the closed blocks and will not revert to the benefit of the shareholders of the Company. In addition, if the assets allocated to the closed blocks and the revenues from the closed blocks’ business prove to be insufficient to pay the benefits guaranteed in the closed blocks, the Company will be required to make payments from its general funds in an amount equal to the shortfall.

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.

17. Closed Blocks - (continued)

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 notification to or approval of the Insurance Department.

The excess of the closed blocks’ liabilities over the closed blocks’ assets represents the expected future post-tax contribution from that closed block which may be recognized in income over the period the policies and contracts in that closed block remain in force.

The following table sets forth certain summarized financial information relating to the JHUSA and JHLICO closed blocks. The JHLICO assets and liabilities exclude the impact of the transfer of the NY business (described in the Reinsurance Note), consistent with the Closed Block Annual Statement filed with the State of Michigan.

These financial statements and unit values disclosure are the responsibility of the Account’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and unit values disclosure 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 unit values disclosure 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 and unit values disclosure, 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, 2014, by correspondence with the fund companies, or their transfer agents, as applicable. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and unit values disclosure referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the above mentioned sub-accounts constituting John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) Separate Account N at December 31, 2014, the results of their and the closed sub-accounts’ operations, changes in contract owners’ equity and unit values disclosure for the years or periods indicated therein 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, 2014

1. Organization

John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) Separate Account N (the “Account”) is a separate account established by John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) (the “Company”). The Account operates as a Unit Investment Trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended and is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies. The Account consists of 108 active sub-accounts which are exclusively invested in a corresponding portfolio of the John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”), and 3 sub-accounts that are invested in portfolios of other Non-affiliated Trusts (the “Non-affiliated Trusts”). The Trust is registered under the Act as an open-ended management investment company, commonly known as a mutual fund, which does not transact with the general public. The Account is a funding vehicle for the allocation of net premiums under single premium variable life and 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. MFC and its subsidiaries are known collectively as Manulife Financial.

The Company is required to maintain assets in the Account with a total fair value of 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.

In addition to the Account, certain contract owners may also allocate funds to the fixed account, which is part of 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 Investment Company Act of 1940. Net interfund transfers include transfers between separate and general accounts.

Each sub-account holds shares of a particular series (“Portfolio”) of a registered investment company. Sub-accounts that invest in Portfolios of the Trust may offer 2 classes of units to fund Contracts issued by the Company. These classes, Series I and Series NAV, represent an interest in the same Trust Portfolio, but in different classes of that Portfolio. Series I and Series NAV shares of the Trust Portfolio differ in the level of 12b-1 fees and other expenses assessed against the Portfolio’s assets.

As a result of a portfolio change, the following sub-accounts of the Account were renamed as follows:

Previous Name	New Name	Effective Date
Financial Services Trust Series I	Financial Industries Trust Series I	11/10/2014
Financial Services Trust Series NAV	Financial Industries Trust Series NAV	11/10/2014

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from reported results using those estimates.

Valuation of Investments

Investments made in the Portfolios of the Trust, and of the Non-affiliated Trusts, are valued at fair value based on the reported net asset values of such Portfolios. Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Income from dividends, and gains from realized gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses on the sales of investments are computed on a first-in, first-out basis.

Amounts Receivable/Payable

Receivables/Payables from/to Portfolios/the Company are due to unsettled contract transactions (net of asset-based charges) and/or subsequent/preceding purchases/sales of the respective Portfolios’ shares. The amounts are due from/to either the respective Portfolio and/or the Company for the benefit of contract owners. There are no unsettled policy transactions at December 31, 2014.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the statements of operations and changes in contract owner’s equity to conform to the current year presentation.

3. 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 Company’s consolidated federal tax return for the prior fiscal years remain open subject to examination by the internal revenue service. 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, 2014, 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 Statements of Operations and Changes in Contract Owners’ Equity.

4. Transactions with Affiliates

The Company has an administrative services agreement with Manulife Financial, whereby Manulife Financial or its designee, with the consent of the Company, performs certain services on behalf of the Company necessary for the operation of the Account. John Hancock Investment Management Services, LLC (“JHIMS”), a Delaware limited liability company controlled by MFC, serves as investment adviser for the Trust.

John Hancock Distributors LLC, a registered broker-dealer and wholly owned subsidiary of JHUSA, acts as the principle 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.

Certain officers of the Account are officers and directors of JHUSA or the Trust.

Contract charges, as described in Note 9, are paid to the Company.

5. Fair Value Measurements

Accounting Standards Codification 820 (“ASC 820”) “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” 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 value 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.

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

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

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

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

All of the Account’s sub-accounts’ investments in a Portfolio of the Trust were valued at the reported net asset value of the Portfolio and categorized as Level 1 as of December 31, 2014. 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, 2014:

	Mutual Funds
Level 1	$	746,378,706
Level 2		—
Level 3		—
	$	746,378,706

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.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfer in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Transfers between investment levels may occur as the availability of a price source or data used in an investment’s valuation changes. Transfers between investment levels are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period. There have been no transfers between any level of fair value measurements during the period ended December 31, 2014.

7. Unit Values — (continued):

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 2010 through 2013 were considered when determining the lowest and highest total return for these years. The summary for these years may not reflect the minimum and maximum mortality and expense risks charges offered by the Company as contract owners may not have selected all available and applicable contract options.

(a) As the unit fair value is presented as a range of minimum to maximum values, based on the product grouping representing the minimum and maximum expense ratio amounts, some individual contract unit values are not within the ranges presented.

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

(c) These ratios, which are not annualized, represent the distributions from net investment income received by the sub-account from the underlying Portfolio, net of management fees assessed by the portfolio manager, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that are assessed against policyholder accounts either through the reductions in the unit values or the redemptions of units. The recognition of investment income by the sub-account is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying Portfolio in which the sub-accounts invest.

(d) These ratios, which are not annualized, represent the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying Portfolio, and expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. These ratios do not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units. Investment options indicated in footnote 1 with a date notation, if any, denote the effective date of that investment option in the variable account. The total return is calculated for the period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. For closed sub-accounts, the total return is calculated from the beginning of the reporting period to the date the sub-account closed. As the total return is presented as a range of minimum to maximum values, based on the product grouping representing the minimum and maximum expense ratio amounts, some individual contract total returns are not within the ranges presented.

(e) Sub-account that invests in non-affiliated Trust.

(f) Renamed on May 5, 2014. Previously known as Lifestyle Aggressive Trust.

(g) Renamed on May 5, 2014. Previously known as Lifestyle Balanced Trust.

(h) Renamed on May 5, 2014. Previously known as Lifestyle Conservative Trust.

(i) Renamed on May 5, 2014. Previously known as Lifestyle Growth Trust.

(j) Renamed on May 5, 2014. Previously known as Lifestyle Moderate Trust.

(k) Renamed on November 10, 2014. Previously known as Financial Services Trust.

(l) Terminated as an investment option and funds transferred to Fundamental Large Cap Value Trust on November 10, 2014.

(m) Terminated as an investment option and funds transferred to Global Trust on November 10, 2014.

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 Contract will not be treated as a variable life contract for federal tax purposes for any period for which the investments of the 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 harbor test or diversification requirement set forth in regulations issued by the Secretary of the Treasury. The Company believes that the Account satisfies the current requirements of the regulations, and the Account will continue to meet such requirements.

9. 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 administrative 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.

The Company deducts from the assets of the Account a daily charge equivalent to annual rates between 0.00% and 0.90% of the average net value of the Account’s assets for the assumption of mortality and expense risks.

Item 28. Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with the Depositor or the Registrant

The Registrant is a separate account of the Depositor operating as a unit investment trust. The Registrant supports benefits payable under the Depositor's variable life insurance policies by investing assets allocated to various investment options in shares of John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust (formerly, John Hancock Trust) and other mutual funds registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as open-end management investment companies of the “series” type.

As of the effective date of the registration statement, the Company and its affiliates are controlled by Manulife Financial Corporation.

MANULIFE FINANCIAL CORPORATION PRINCIPAL SUBSIDIARIES - December 31, 2014 For External Use (1) The remaining 5% equity of PT Asuransi Jiwa Manulife Indonesia is indirectly held by The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company (2) The remaining 0.1% equity of John Hancock Advisers, LLC is indirectly held by John Hancock Subsidiaries LLC (3) 99% limited partnership interest is held by The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company (4) 99% limited partnership interest is held by Manulife Property Limited Partnership This chart displays voting interest. All entities are 100% controlled unless otherwise indicated. Indirect Control Direct Control

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 CVUL policies purchased on or after October 12, 2005, expressed as a percentage of average net assets (rounded to two decimal places). These expenses are deducted from portfolio assets. For more information, please refer to 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%	1.68%

¹Certain of the portfolios’ advisers or subadvisers have contractually agreed to reimburse or waive certain portfolio level expenses. The minimum and maximum expenses shown do not reflect these contractual expense reimbursements or waivers. If such reimbursements or waivers were reflected, the minimum and maximum expenses would be 0.25% and 1.53%, respectively.

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 a Corporate VUL policy purchased prior to October 12, 2005, 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 expenses	0.54%	1.68%

¹Certain of the portfolios’ advisers or subadvisers have contractually agreed to reimburse or waive certain portfolio level expenses. The minimum and maximum expenses shown do not reflect these contractual expense reimbursements or waivers. If such reimbursements or waivers were reflected, the minimum and maximum expenses would be 0.30% and 1.53%, 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 Global Growth, American Growth, American Growth-Income, American International and American New World portfolios invests in shares of the corresponding investment portfolio of the Trust. The American Asset Allocation, American Global Growth, American Growth, American Growth-Income, American International and American New World portfolios (“American 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 Capital Appreciation, M International Equity, M Large Cap Growth and M Large Cap Value 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 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, the investment subadvisers (engaged by JHIMS, M Financial or PIMCO) and the investment objective for each portfolio are described in the table below. For additional information regarding these portfolios' investment objectives, policies and restrictions of and the risks relating to investment in the portfolios, please refer to the prospectus for the underlying portfolio.

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.

7

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. Any portion not treated as a return of your premiums would be includible in your income.

Please note that 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. In that case, 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 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

8

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 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 amounts permitted under section 7702, 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, an amount equal to 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 Separate Account

Your policy will not qualify for the tax benefits of a life insurance contract unless the Separate 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 (T.D. 8101) 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 Separate 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

9

will prevent you from being considered the owner of your policy's proportionate share of the assets of the Separate 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 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. You should consult your tax adviser if you have questions regarding the possible impact of the 7-pay limit on your policy.

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.

10

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. Electing to have no withholding will not reduce your tax liability and may expose you to penalties under the rules governing payment of estimated taxes.

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.

Life insurance owned by citizens or residents living abroad

If you are a U.S. citizen or permanent resident living outside the United States, you are still subject to income taxation by the United States. Since many countries tax on the basis of domicile, you may also be subject to tax in the country or territory in which you are living. The tax-deferred accumulation of gain that a life insurance policy provides under United States tax law may not be available under the tax laws of the country in which you are living. If you are living outside the United States or planning to do so, you should consult with a qualified tax adviser before purchasing or retaining ownership of a policy.

I have acted as counsel to Registrant for the purpose of preparing this Post-Effective Amendment which is being filed pursuant to paragraph (b) of Rule 485 and hereby represent to the Commission that in our opinion this Post-Effective Amendment does not contain disclosures which would render it ineligible to become effective pursuant to paragraph (b).

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with and as a part of this Post-Effective Amendment to Registrant’s Registration Statement with the Commission.

Very truly yours,
