SUMMARY OF BENEFITS AND RISKS

The nature of the policy

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

Summary of policy benefits

Death benefit

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

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

Surrender of the policy

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

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

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

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

Withdrawals

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

Policy loans

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

Optional supplementary benefit riders

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

Investment options

The policy offers a number of investment options, as listed on page 1 of this prospectus. These investment options are subaccounts of Separate Account B (the “Account” or “Separate Account”), a separate account operated by us under New York 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

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.

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 NY 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. Currently, the premium tax in New York is 0.7% of each premium payment.

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.

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.

(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.

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

Rider Charges
Charge When Charge is Deducted Amount Deducted
Enhanced Cash Value Rider Upon payment of premium 0.5% of premium paid in the first 7 policy years, up to the Limiting Premium (1) for each policy year stated in the Policy Specifications page of the policy.
Change of Life Insured Rider At exercise of benefit $250
Overloan Protection Rider (2) At exercise of benefit
Minimum charge
0.04%
Maximum charge 8.00%
(1) The “Limiting Premium” is an amount determined by multiplying the Base Face Amount at issue by an applicable rate which varies by the sex and issue age of the insured person. The minimum rate is for a 15-year old female and is $17.90 per $1000 of Base Face Amount. The maximum rate is for a 90-year old male and is $216.26 per $1,000 of Base Face Amount. The rate for a representative insured person is for a 45 year old male and is $56.49 per $1000 of Base Face Amount. Thus, for the representative 45 year old male with $100,000 of Base Face Amount, the Limiting Premium for the policy year would be $5,649.00.
(2) The charge for this rider is determined as a percentage of unloaned account value. The rates vary by the attained age of the insured person at the time of exercise. The rates also differ according to the tax qualification test elected at issue. The guaranteed minimum rate for the guideline premium test is .04% (currently .04%) and the guaranteed maximum rate is 2.50% (currently 2.50%). The guaranteed minimum rate for the cash value accumulation test is .054% (currently .054%) and the guaranteed maximum rate is 8.00% (currently 8.00%). The minimum rate shown in the table is for an insured person who has reached attained age 99 and the guideline premium test has been elected. The maximum rate shown is for an insured person who has reached attained age 75 and the cash value accumulation test has been elected.

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

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

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

DETAILED INFORMATION

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

Table of Investment Options and Investment Subadvisers

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Description of John Hancock NY

John Hancock NY is a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of New York on February 10, 1992. Our principal office is located at 100 Summit Lake Drive, Second Floor, Valhalla, New York 10595. We are a wholly-owned subsidiary of John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.). Our ultimate parent is Manulife Financial Corporation (“MFC”), a publicly traded company based in Toronto, Canada. MFC is the holding company of The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries, collectively known as Manulife Financial. However, neither John Hancock NY nor any of its affiliated companies guarantees the investment performance of the Account.

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

Description of Separate Account B

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

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

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

The fixed account

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

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

The death benefit

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

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

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

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

Limitations on payment of death benefit

If the insured person commits suicide within 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.

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 100th 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:

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 100th 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.

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”).

Minimum initial premium

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

Maximum premium payments

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

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

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

Processing premium payments

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

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

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

Ways to pay premiums

If you pay premiums by check or money order, they must be drawn on a U.S. bank in U.S. dollars and made payable to “John Hancock.” We will not accept credit card checks. We will not accept starter or third party checks if they fail to satisfy our administrative requirements. Premiums after the first must be sent to the John Hancock NY 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.

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.

The 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

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

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).

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 90% 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 NY 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.

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.
  • 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. Currently, the premium tax in New York is 0.7% of each premium payment.

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

Description of charges at the portfolio level

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

Other policy benefits, rights and limitations

Optional supplementary benefit riders you can add

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

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

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

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

Variations in policy terms

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 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 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 six months from the date of application for the policy, the earliest date allowed by New York state law. 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.

Changes that we can make as to your policy

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

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

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

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

The owner of the policy

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

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

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

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

Policy cancellation right

You have the right to cancel your policy within ten days after you receive it. 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 NY at either of the addresses shown on the back cover of this prospectus, or
  • the John Hancock NY representative who delivered the policy to you.

The date of cancellation will be the date of such mailing or delivery. You will receive a refund of any premiums you’ve paid.

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.

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 New York state law.

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

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

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

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

Investors, Inc., is one such broker-dealer. In addition, we, either directly or through JH Distributors, have entered into agreements with other financial intermediaries that provide marketing, sales support and certain administrative services to help promote the policies (“financial intermediaries”). In a limited number of cases, we have entered into loans, leases or other financial agreements with these broker-dealers or financial intermediaries or their affiliates.

Compensation

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Selling broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries may receive, directly or indirectly, additional payments in the form of cash, other compensation or reimbursement. These additional compensation or reimbursement arrangements may include, for example, payments in connection with the firm’s “due diligence” examination of the policies, payments for providing conferences or seminars, sales or training programs for invited registered representatives and other employees, payment for travel expenses, including lodging, incurred by registered representatives and other employees for such seminars or training programs, seminars for the public or client seminars, advertising and sales campaigns regarding the policies, payments to assist a firm in connection with its systems, operations and marketing expenses and/or other events or activities sponsored by the firms. We may contribute to, as well as sponsor, various educational programs, sales promotions, and/or other contests in which participating firms and their sales persons may receive gifts and prizes such as merchandise, cash or other rewards as may be permitted under FINRA rules and other applicable laws and regulations.

Tax considerations

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

General

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

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

Death benefit proceeds and other policy distributions

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

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

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

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

Increases in policy value as a result of interest or investment experience will not be subject to Federal income tax unless and until values are received through actual or deemed distributions. In general, unless the policy is a modified endowment contract, the owner will be taxed only on the amount of distributions that exceed the premiums paid under the policy. An

exception to this general rule occurs in the case of a decrease in the policy’s death benefit or any other change that reduces benefits under the policy in the first fifteen years after the policy is issued and that results in a cash distribution to the policy owner. Changes that reduce benefits include partial withdrawals, death benefit option changes, and distributions required to keep the policy in compliance with section 7702. For purposes of this rule any distribution within the two years immediately before a reduction in benefits will also be treated as if it were a result of the reduction. A cash distribution that reduces policy benefits will be taxed in whole or in part (to the extent of any gain in the policy) under rules prescribed in section 7702. The taxable amount is subject to limits prescribed in section 7702(f)(7). Any taxable distribution will be ordinary income to the owner (rather than capital gain).

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

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

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

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

Policy loans

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

Diversification rules and ownership of the Account

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

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

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

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

7-pay premium limit and modified endowment contract status

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

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

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

  • First, all partial withdrawals from such a policy are treated as ordinary income subject to tax up to the amount equal to the excess (if any) of the policy value immediately before the withdrawal over the investment in the policy at such time. If you own any other modified endowment contracts issued to you in the same calendar year by the same insurance company or its affiliates, their values will be combined with the value of the policy from which you take the withdrawal for purposes of determining how much of the withdrawal is taxable as ordinary income.
  • Second, loans taken from or secured by such a policy and assignments or pledges of any part of its value are treated as partial withdrawals from the policy and taxed accordingly. Past-due loan interest that is added to the loan amount is treated as an additional loan.
  • Third, a 10% additional penalty tax is imposed on the portion of any distribution (including distributions on surrender) from, or loan taken from or secured by, such a policy that is included in income except where the distribution or loan:
  • is made on or after the date on which the policy owner attains age 59½;
  • is attributable to the policy owner becoming disabled; or
  • is part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments for the life (or life expectancy) of the policy owner or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the policy owner and the policy owner’s beneficiary.

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

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

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

If your policy is issued as a result of an exchange subject to section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code, it may be considered to be a modified endowment contract if the death benefit under the new policy is smaller than the death benefit

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

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

Corporate and H.R. 10 retirement plans

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

Withholding

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

Life insurance purchases by residents of Puerto Rico

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

Life insurance purchases by non-resident aliens

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

Table of Contents

Description of the Depositor

Under the Federal securities laws, the entity responsible for organization of the registered separate account underlying the variable life insurance policy is known as the “Depositor”. The Depositor is John Hancock NY, a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of New York in 1992. We are a licensed life insurance company in the state of New York. Until 2004, John Hancock NY had been known as The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company of New York.

John Hancock NY is a wholly-owned subsidiary of John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.), a life insurance company domiciled in Michigan. Our ultimate parent is Manulife Financial Corporation (“MFC”), a publicly traded company based in Toronto, Canada. MFC is the holding company of The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries, collectively known as Manulife Financial.

Description of the Registrant

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

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.

Legal and Regulatory Matters

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

On June 25, 2007, John Hancock Investment Management Services, LLC (the “Adviser”) and John Hancock Distributors LLC (the “Distributor”) and two of their affiliates (collectively, the “John Hancock Affiliates”) reached a settlement with the SEC that resolved an investigation of certain practices relating to the John Hancock Affiliates’ variable annuity and mutual fund operations involving directed brokerage and revenue sharing. Under the terms of the settlement, each John Hancock Affiliate was censured and agreed to pay a $500,000 civil penalty to the United States Treasury. In addition, the Adviser and the Distributor agreed to pay disgorgement of $14,838,943 and prejudgment interest of $2,001,999 to the John Hancock Trust funds that participated in the Adviser’s commission recapture program during the period from 2000 to April 2004. Collectively, all John Hancock Affiliates agreed to pay a total disgorgement of $16,926,420 and

prejudgment interest of $2,361,460 to the entities advised or distributed by John Hancock Affiliates. The Adviser discontinued the use of directed brokerage in recognition of the sale of fund shares in April 2004.

Principal Underwriter/Distributor

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

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

Additional Information About Charges

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

Reduction In Charges

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

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of John Hancock Life Insurance Company of New York (the Company) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholder’s equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, in 2009 the Company changed their method of accounting and reporting for other-than-temporary impairments on debt securities.

JOHN HANCOCK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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

The Company provides a wide range of insurance and investment products to both individual and institutional customers located exclusively in the State of New York (“NY”). These products, including individual life insurance and individual and group fixed and variable annuities, are sold through an extensive network of agents, securities dealers, and other financial institutions.

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

On December 31, 2009, JHFS merged with and into MIC. As a result of the merger, JHFS ceased to exist, and the company’s property and obligations became the property and obligations of MIC.

On January 1, 2010, $7,364 million of NY life insurance and fixed and variable annuity reserves and liabilities related to policyholders who reside in the State of NY (“NY business”), including the assets supporting the business, were transferred from JHUSA to the Company. The transfer included participating traditional life insurance, universal life insurance, fixed deferred and immediate annuities, participating pension contracts, and variable annuities. The transfer of the NY business was completed pursuant to the merger of JHLICO and JHVLICO into JHUSA on December 31, 2009. Since the surviving entity, JHUSA, is not licensed in NY, JHLICO filed a Plan of Withdrawal (the “Plan”) with the State of NY and pursuant to the Plan, JHUSA transferred substantially all of its NY business to the Company on January 1, 2010 (“NY transfer”).

The NY business was transferred using assumption reinsurance and coinsurance and modified coinsurance with cut-through provisions. The January 1, 2010 impact of the transfer on the Company’s Balance Sheet was an increase in total assets of $7,489 million, an increase in total liabilities of $7,364 million, and an increase in net income of $125 million. The major categories of assets transferred included available-for-sale fixed maturities of $5,791 million, held-for-trading fixed maturities of $354 million, mortgage loans on real estate of $769 million, investment real estate and agriculture of $88 million, cash and cash equivalents of $163 million, accrued investment income of $69 million, value of business acquired (“VOBA”) of $56 million, derivative assets of $17 million, and deferred income tax asset of $143 million. The major categories of liabilities transferred included future policy benefits of $4,436 million, policyholders’ funds of $687 million, and amounts due to affiliates of $2,090 million. In addition, deferred gains of $125 million were recorded.

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

The Company’s investment in John Hancock Investment Management Services, LLC (“JHIMS”), an affiliated company, is accounted for using the equity method of accounting and is included in investment in unconsolidated affiliate.

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

JOHN HANCOCK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

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

 

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

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

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

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

Policy loans are carried at unpaid principal balances.

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

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

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

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

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

DAC related to participating traditional life insurance is amortized over the life of the policies at a constant rate based on the present value of the estimated gross margin amounts expected to be realized over the lives of the policies. Estimated gross margin amounts include anticipated premiums and investment results less claims and administrative expenses, changes in the net level premium reserve, and expected annual policyholder dividends.

For annuity, universal life insurance, and investment-type products, DAC and unearned revenue are amortized generally in proportion to the change in present value of expected gross profits arising principally from surrender charges, investment results, including realized (losses) gains, and mortality and expense margins. DAC amortization is adjusted retrospectively when estimates are revised. For annuity, universal life insurance, and investment-type products, the DAC asset is adjusted for the impact of unrealized (losses) gains on investments as if these (losses) gains had been realized, with corresponding credits or charges included in accumulated other comprehensive income.

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

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

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

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

Future Policy Benefits and Policyholders’ Funds. Future policy benefits for participating traditional life insurance policies are based on the net level premium method. The net level premium reserve is calculated using the guaranteed mortality and dividend fund interest rates. The liability for annual dividends represents the accrual of annual dividends earned. Settlement dividends are accrued in proportion to gross margins over the life of the policies. Participating business represented 63% and 0% of the Company’s traditional life net insurance in-force at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and 52%, 0%, and 0% of the Company’s traditional life net insurance premiums for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. The increase in the participating business resulted from the NY transfer, as discussed under the Business subheading above.

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

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

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

Policyholders’ funds for participating pension contracts and individual and group annuities are equal to the total of the policyholder account values before surrender charges and additional reserves established on certain guarantees offered in the participating pension contracts. Policyholder account values include deposits plus credited interest or change in investment value less expense and mortality fees, as applicable, and withdrawals. Policy benefits are charged to expense and include benefit claims incurred in the period in excess of related policy account balances and interest credited to policyholders’ account balances.

Where permitted by state insurance law, the Company administers a retained asset accounts program as the default method for satisfying non-participating traditional life insurance claims. Retained asset accounts earn interest and are subject to withdrawal at any time by the beneficiaries.

     70             -       
        

Total policyholders’ funds

       $ 741               $     77       
        

Liabilities for unpaid claims and claim expenses include estimates of payments to be made on reported life insurance claims and estimates of incurred but not reported claims based on historical claims development patterns.

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

Deferred Gains. Deferred gains were recognized in connection with the NY transfer in an amount equal to the excess of the assets transferred less the liabilities transferred on a pre-tax basis. The Company amortizes the deferred gains over 10 years using the effective interest method.

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

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

Fee income also includes advisory fees and administrative service fees collected from the separate accounts. Such fees are recognized in the period in which the services are performed.

Income Taxes. The provision for federal income taxes includes amounts currently payable or recoverable and deferred income taxes, computed under the liability method, resulting from temporary differences between the tax basis and financial statement bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that an amount will not be realized.

Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Financing Receivables

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

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

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

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

Fair Value Measurements

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

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

ASC 820 requires, among other things, an exit value approach for valuing assets and liabilities, using the best available information about what a market would bear. The exit value approach focuses on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Exit values for liabilities should include margins for risk even if they are not observable. ASC 820 provides guidance on how to measure fair value when required under existing accounting standards. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the observability of the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, sorted into three levels (“Level 1, 2, and 3”) with the most observable input level being Level 1. The impact of changing of valuation methods to comply with ASC 820 resulted in adjustments to actuarial liabilities, which were recorded as a decrease in net income of $14 million, net of tax, on January 1, 2008.

FASB Accounting Standards Codification

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

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

Subsequent Events

Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, “Subsequent Events”, which is now incorporated into ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events.” This guidance was retroactively amended by the FASB in February 2010 by issuance of ASU No. 2010-9, “Subsequent Events,” which requires an entity which files or furnishes its financial statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to evaluate subsequent events through the date that its financial statements are issued. Adoption of this guidance resulted in expanded disclosures related to subsequent events, but had no impact on the Company’s Balance Sheets or Statements of Operations.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairments

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

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

As a result of adoption of ASC 320, the Company recognized an increase in retained earnings of $2 million, net of tax, on April 1, 2009, with a corresponding (decrease) increase in accumulated other comprehensive income of ($2) million, net of tax, attributable to (1) available-for-sale debt securities of ($4) million, (2) deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements of $1 million, and (3) deferred income taxes of $1 million.

Future Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs

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

Fixed Maturities Impairment Review

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

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

Note 2 — Investments - (continued)

 

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

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

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 our 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 us to change our intent to hold the security to maturity or until it recovers in value. Any of these situations could result in a charge to earnings in a future period.

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

The following table shows the carrying value and gross unrealized losses aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual fixed maturity securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position:

Unrealized losses can be created by rising interest rates or by rising credit concerns and hence widening credit spreads. Credit concerns are apt to play a larger role in the unrealized loss on below investment grade securities. Unrealized losses on investment grade securities principally relate to changes in interest rates or changes in credit spreads since the securities were acquired. Credit rating agencies’ statistics indicate that investment grade securities have been found to be less likely to develop credit concerns. The gross unrealized loss on below investment grade available-for-sale fixed maturity securities increased to $1 million at December 31, 2010 from $0 million at December 31, 2009.

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, there were 148 and 62 fixed maturity securities with an aggregate gross unrealized loss of $38 million and $21 million, respectively, of which the single largest unrealized loss was $10 million and $3 million, respectively. The Company anticipates that these fixed maturity securities will perform in accordance with their contractual terms and currently has the ability and intent to hold these securities until they recover or mature.

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

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

Note 3 – Derivatives and Hedging Instruments

 

Types of Derivatives and Derivative Strategies

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

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

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

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

(1) Embedded derivatives related to participating pension contracts are reported as part of future policy benefits and embedded derivatives related to benefit guarantees are reported as part of reinsurance recoverable or future policy benefits on the Balance Sheets.
(2) The fair values of all derivatives in an asset position are reported within derivative asset on the Balance Sheets, and derivatives in a liability position are reported within derivative liability on the Balance Sheets, excluding embedded derivatives related to participating pension contracts and benefit guarantees.

Hedging Relationships

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

Fair Value Hedges. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changes in fair value of fixed-rate financial instruments caused by changes in interest rates.

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

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments. The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements, and interest rate futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rates without designating the derivatives as hedging instruments.

The Company offers certain variable annuity products with a guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit (“GMWB”) rider. This rider is effectively an embedded option on the basket of mutual funds which is offered to contract holders. Beginning in July 2010, for certain contracts, the Company implemented a hedging program to reduce its exposure to the GMWB rider. 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), and foreign currency futures to match the sensitivities of the GMWB rider liability to the market risk factors.

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

For more details on the Company’s embedded derivatives see Note 11 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

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

The Company manages its credit risk by entering into transactions with creditworthy counterparties, obtaining collateral where appropriate, and entering into master netting agreements that provide for a netting of payments and receipts with a single counterparty. The Company enters into credit support annexes with its over-the-counter derivative dealers in order to manage its credit exposure to those counterparties. As part of the terms and conditions of those agreements, the pledging and accepting of collateral in connection with the Company’s derivative usage is required. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had accepted collateral consisting of various securities with a fair value of $12 million and $0 million, respectively, which is held in separate custodial accounts. In addition, as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company pledged collateral of $13 million and $0 million, respectively, which is included in available-for-sale fixed maturities on the Balance Sheets.

Note 4 — Income Taxes

Prior to 2010, the Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return of Manulife Holdings (Delaware), LLC (“MHDLLC”) with the following entities: MIC, JHUSA, Manulife Reinsurance Limited (“MRL”), Manulife Reinsurance (Bermuda) Limited (“MRBL”) and Manulife Service Corporation (“MSC”). On December 31, 2009, MHDLLC merged with and into JHHLLC. For the 2010 tax year, the Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return of JHHLLC with the following entities: MIC, JHUSA, MRL, MRBL, MSC, John Hancock Subsidiaries, LLC, and John Hancock International Holdings, Inc.

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

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had no operating loss carryforwards. The Company believes that it will realize the full benefit of its deferred tax assets.

The Company made income tax payments of $49 million, $7 million, and $32 million in 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in NY. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, or local income tax examinations by taxing authorities for years before 2004.

The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) completed its examination of the Company’s income tax returns for years 2004 through 2005 in July 2009. The Company filed protests with the IRS Appeals Division of various adjustments raised by the IRS in its examinations of these years. The examination of the 2006 and 2007 tax years began in November 2009.

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

 

     December 31,  
     2010     2009  
        
     (in millions)

   $     17      $     16

Reductions for tax positions of prior years

     (4     (1
        

Ending balance

   $     15      $     17   
        

Included in the balance as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, are $15 million and $17 million of unrecognized benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate.

Included in the balance as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively are no tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, other than interest or penalties, the disallowance of the shorter deductibility period would not affect the annual effective tax rate but would accelerate the payment of taxes to an earlier period.

The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense (part of other operating costs and expenses) and penalties in income tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, the Company recognized approximately $1 million, $1 million, and $(1) million in interest expense, respectively. The Company had approximately $3 million and $2 million accrued for interest as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company did not recognize any material amounts of penalties during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008.

Note 5 — Related Party Transactions

Reinsurance Transactions

On January 1, 2010, the assets supporting the NY business were transferred from JHUSA to 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 January 1, 2010 impact of these transfers on the Company’s Balance Sheet was an increase in total assets and total liabilities of $7,489 million and $7,364 million, respectively. There was no pre-tax impact at the time of transfer; revenues were offset against expenses of $1,023 million. The Company recorded a $125 million tax benefit related to this transfer. As of January 1, 2010, the Company recorded $56 million related to VOBA and recorded $8 million of VOBA amortization in the Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2010, the Company reported a receivable from JHUSA of $289 million and a payable to JHUSA of $325 million which was reported with amounts due from and amounts due to affiliates, respectively.

As the reinsurance agreements do not subject the reinsurer to reasonable possibility of significant loss, they are classified as financial reinsurance and given deposit-type accounting treatment. The Company retained the invested assets supporting this block of business and $2,133 million is included in amounts due to affiliates on the Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2010.

Effective January 1, 2010, the Company entered into a partition and novation reinsurance agreement with an affiliate, John Hancock Reassurance Company Limited (“JHRECO”), to reinsure 20% of the risk related to payout annuity policies issued January 1, 2008 through September 30, 2008 and 65% of the risk related to payout annuity policies issued prior to January 1, 2008. The reinsurance agreement is written on a modified coinsurance basis where the assets supporting the reinsured policies remain invested with the Company. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company recorded a modified coinsurance reserve adjustment of $14 million, which reduced benefits to policyholders in the Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2010, the Company also recorded $4 million related to the cost of reinsurance, which was reported with reinsurance recoverable on the Balance Sheets. The cost of reinsurance is being amortized into income through benefits to policyholders over the life of the underlying reinsured policies using assumptions consistent with those used to account for the underlying policies.

Service Agreements

The Company has formal service agreements with JHUSA. Under these agreements, the Company will pay investment and operating expenses incurred by JHUSA on behalf of the Company. Services provided under the agreements include legal, personnel, marketing, investment, and certain other administrative services and are billed based on intercompany cost allocations. Costs incurred under the agreements were $65 million, $41 million, and $47 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had accrued payables of $10 million and $12 million, respectively.

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

Effective December 28, 2009, in connection with the hedging risks associated with the Company’s variable annuity products, the Company has entered into an Asset & Liability Management Services Agreement with MLI, pursuant to which MLI performs certain asset and liability management services in connection with the hedging program. The fees for services provided under this agreement shall be determined at fair market value. Costs incurred under this agreement were $1 million, and $0 million, for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had no accrued payables.

Capital Stock Transactions

On March 30, 2009, the Company received a $282 million capital contribution from JHUSA in exchange for one share of common stock. The amount included $84 million in cash and fixed maturities with a fair value of $216 million, reduced by a deferred tax liability of $18 million. The deferred tax liability was recognized as the fixed maturities contributed had a cost basis of $164 million.

On December 21, 2009, the Company received a capital contribution from JHUSA of $200 million in cash.

Other

The Company has entered into an Amended and Restated Underwriting and Distribution Agreement with John Hancock Distributors, LLC (“JHD”), effective December 1, 2009, pursuant to which JHD is appointed as the principal underwriter and exclusive distributor of the variable annuity, variable life and other products issued by the Company. This agreement replaced and superseded the previous Underwriting and Distribution Agreement dated January 1, 2002 between the parties. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, the Company was billed by JHD for underwriting commissions of $101 million, $100 million, and $130 million, respectively. The Company had accrued payables for services provided of $5 million and $4 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The Company had receivables from JHIMS relating to distributions of $15 million and $13 million, which were included in accrued investment income at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The Company participates in a liquidity pool operated by JHUSA, in which affiliates can invest excess cash. Terms of participation in the liquidity pool are set out in the Second Restated and Amended Liquidity Pool Agreement effective January 1, 2010. The Company had $401 million and $139 million invested in this pool at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which were included in cash and cash equivalents on the Company’s Balance Sheets.

Note 6 — Reinsurance

The effect of reinsurance on life and fixed and variable annuity premiums earned was as follows:

Net life and fixed and variable annuity premiums earned

   $     1,199      $ 27      $     18   
        

For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, benefits to policyholders under life and annuity ceded reinsurance contracts were $164 million, $65 million, and $52 million, respectively.

At December 31, 2010, the Company had treaties with 26 reinsurers (23 non-affiliated and 3 affiliated). The per policy life risk retained by the Company is capped at a maximum of $30 million on single life policies and $35 million on survivorship life policies. The previous limit of $100 thousand, which was revised as a consequence of the transfer of NY business, continues to apply to policies and reinsurance agreements in-force as at December 31, 2009. In 2010, recoveries under these agreements totaled $72 million on $107 million of death claims. In 2009, recoveries under these agreements totaled $40 million on $48 million of death claims. In 2008, recoveries under these agreements totaled $28 million on $35 million of death claims.

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

Note 7 — Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

The Company participates in a funded qualified defined benefit plan (the “Plan”). Effective January 1, 2008, the John Hancock Financial Services, Inc. Pension Plan was renamed the John Hancock Pension Plan. Pursuant to the merger of JHFS into MIC, as discussed in Note 1, JHFS ceased to exist, and sponsorship of the Plan transferred to JHUSA effective January 1, 2010. Effective December 31, 2010, sponsorship of the Plan transferred to MIC. Historically, pension benefits were calculated utilizing a traditional formula. Under the traditional formula, benefits were provided based upon length of service and final average compensation. As of January 1, 2002, the defined benefit pension plan was amended to a cash balance basis. Under the cash balance formula, participants are credited with benefits equal to a percentage of eligible pay, as well as interest. In addition, early retirement benefits are subsidized for certain grandfathered participants. The costs associated with the Plan were charged to the Company and were not material for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

Note 7 — Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans - (continued)

 

The Company participates in a postretirement medical and life insurance benefit plan for its retired employees and their spouses. Sponsorship of this plan transferred to JHUSA effective January 1, 2010. Effective December 31, 2010, sponsorship of this plan transferred to MIC. Certain employees hired prior to 2005 who meet age and service criteria may be eligible for these postretirement benefits in accordance with the plan’s provisions. The majority of retirees contribute a portion of the total cost of postretirement medical benefits. Life insurance benefits are based on final compensation subject to the plan maximum.

The employee welfare plan was amended effective January 1, 2007, whereby participants who had not reached a certain age and years of service with the Company were no longer eligible for such Company contributory benefits. Also the number of years of service required to be eligible for the benefit was increased to 15 years. The future retiree life insurance coverage amount was frozen as of December 31, 2006. The costs associated with other postretirement benefits were charged to the Company and were not material for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

The Company participates in a qualified defined contribution plan. Sponsorship of this plan transferred to JHUSA effective January 1, 2010. The costs associated with the defined contribution plan were charged to the Company and were not material for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

Note 8 — Commitments and Legal Proceedings

Commitments. The Company has extended commitments to purchase U.S. private debt and to issue mortgage loans on real estate totaling $30 million and $4 million, respectively, at December 31, 2010. If funded, loans related to real estate mortgages would be fully collateralized by the mortgaged properties. The Company monitors the creditworthiness of borrowers under long-term bond commitments and requires collateral as deemed necessary. Approximately half of these commitments expire in 2011, and the remainder expire in 2013.

The Company leases office space under operating lease agreements, which will expire in March of 2012. Rental expenses were $62 thousand, $75 thousand, and $75 thousand for each of the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

The future minimum lease payments by year and in the aggregate, under the remaining operating leases are presented below:

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 and as a taxpayer. In addition, the NY State Insurance Department, the NY Attorney General, the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and other government and regulatory bodies regularly make inquiries and, from time to time, require the production of information or conduct examinations concerning the Company’s compliance with, among other things, insurance laws, securities laws, and laws governing the activities of broker-dealers. The Company does not believe that the conclusion of any current legal or regulatory matters, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

Statutory Results

The Company is required to prepare statutory financial statements in accordance with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the insurance department of the state of domicile, which is NY.

The Company’s statutory net (loss) income for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 was $(41) million (unaudited), $310 million, and $(329) million, respectively.

The Company’s statutory capital and surplus as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $976 million (unaudited) and $1,017 million, respectively.

Under NY insurance law, no insurer may pay any shareholder dividends from any source other than statutory earned surplus without the prior approval of the Superintendent of Insurance (the “Superintendent”). NY law also limits the aggregate amount of dividends a life insurer may pay in any calendar year, without the prior permission of the Superintendent, to the lesser of (i) 10% of its statutory policyholders’ surplus as of the immediately preceding calendar year or (ii) the company’s statutory net gain from operations for the immediately preceding calendar year, not including realized capital gains. The Company paid shareholder dividends to JHUSA in the amount of $100 million, $0 million, and $0 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

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

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

 

 

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

 

 

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

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

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

Note 11 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments - (continued)

 

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

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

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

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on the Balance Sheets

Valuation Hierarchy

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

• Level 1 – Fair value measurements that reflect unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Valuations are based on quoted prices reflecting market transactions involving assets or liabilities identical to those being measured. Level 1 assets primarily include 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. Most debt securities and some short-term investments are classified within Level 2. Also included in the Level 2 category are derivative instruments that are priced using models with observable market inputs.

• Level 3 – Fair value measurements using significant non market 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. Embedded derivatives related to reinsurance agreements or product guarantees are included in this category.

Determination of Fair Value

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

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

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

Fixed Maturities

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

Short-Term Investments

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

Derivatives

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

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

Embedded Derivatives

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

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

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

Note 11 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments - (continued)

 

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

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

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

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

Separate Account Assets

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

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

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

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

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain financial assets are reported at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, including investments such as mortgage loans, joint ventures, and limited partnership interests, which are reported at fair value only in the period in which an impairment is recognized. The fair value of these securities is calculated using either models that are widely accepted in the financial services industry or the valuation of collateral underlying impaired mortgages. During the reporting period, there were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

Note 13 — Certain Separate Accounts

 

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

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

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

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

     46         45   

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

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

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

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

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

(1) Amount assumed from JHUSA on January 1, 2010.

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

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

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

The discount rate is 7% (in-force issued before 2004) or 6.4% (in-force issued after 2003) in the ASC 944 calculations. The discount rates used for ASC 815 calculations are based on the term structure of swap curves with a credit spread based on the credit standing of MFC (for GMWB) and the reinsurers (for GMIB).

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and contract owners’ equity of John Hancock Life Insurance Company of New York Separate Account B (the “Account”), comprised of the active sub-accounts as of December 31, 2010, and the related statements of operations and changes in contract owners’ equity of the active and closed sub-accounts for each of the two years in the period then ended (or years since inception), and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended (or years since inception). These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Account’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Account’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Account’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian or fund manager of the underlying portfolios. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the active sub-accounts constituting John Hancock Life Insurance Company of New York Separate Account B at December 31, 2010, and the results of its operations and changes in contract owners’ equity of the active and closed sub-accounts for each of the two years in the period then ended (or years since inception), and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended (or years since inception), in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

John Hancock Life Insurance Company of New York Separate Account B

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2010

 

1. Organization

John Hancock Life Insurance Company of New York Separate Account B (the “Account”) is a separate account administered and sponsored by John Hancock Life Insurance Company of New York (the “Company”). The Account operates as a Unit Investment Trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”) and has 120 active investment sub-accounts that invest in shares of a particular John Hancock Trust (the “Trust”) portfolio and 5 sub-accounts that invest in shares of other outside investment trusts as of December 31, 2010. The Trust is registered under the Act as an open-end management investment company, commonly known as a mutual fund, which does not transact with the general public. Instead, the Trust deals primarily with insurance companies by providing the investment medium for variable contracts. The Account is a funding vehicle for the allocation of net premiums under single premium variable life and variable universal life insurance contracts (the “Contracts”) issued by the Company.

The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) (“JHUSA”) which in turn is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Manulife Financial Corporation (“MFC”), a Canadian-based publicly traded stock life insurance company.

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

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

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

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

 

Previous Name

  

New Name

  

Effective Date

Strategic Income Trust    Strategic Income Opportunities Trust    May 3, 2010

U.S. High Yield Bond Trust    High Yield Trust    November 8, 2010

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

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

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

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

The operations of the Account are included in the federal income tax return of the Company, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). Under the current provisions of the Code, the Company does not expect to incur federal income taxes on the earnings of the Account to the extent the earnings are credited under the Contracts. Based on this, no charge is being made currently to the Account for federal income taxes. The Company will periodically reassess this position taking into account changes in the tax law. Such a charge may be made in future years for any federal income taxes that would be attributable to the Contracts.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported herein. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

3. 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 the underwriting and issuing of the Contract. Additionally, each month a deduction consisting of an administration charge, a charge for cost of insurance, a charge for mortality and expense risks 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.

 

4. Federal Income Taxes

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

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

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

6. Transaction with Affiliates

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

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

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

 

7. Diversification Requirements

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

John Hancock Life Insurance Company of New York Separate Account B

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

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

 

(**) These ratios, which are not annualized, represent the total return for the period indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying Trust portfolio. There are no expenses of the Account that result in a direct reduction in unit values. The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units; inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented.

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

Registrant is a separate account of John Hancock NY, operated as a unit investment trust. Registrant supports benefits payable under John Hancock NY’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.

A list of persons directly or indirectly controlled by or under common contract with John Hancock NY appears below:

Subsidiary Name

John Hancock Investment Management Services, LLC (Delaware)

Item 29. Indemnification

The Form of Selling Agreement or Service Agreement between John Hancock Distributors LLC and various broker-dealers may provide that the selling broker-dealer indemnify and hold harmless John Hancock Distributors LLC and the Company, including their affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents against losses, claims, liabilities or expenses


Table of Contents

(including reasonable attorney’s fees), arising out of or based upon a breach of the Selling or Service Agreement, or any applicable law or regulation or any applicable rule of any self-regulatory organization or similar provision consistent with industry practice.

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

Market timing and disruptive trading risks

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

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

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

 

  (i) restricting the number of transfers made during a defined period,
  (ii) restricting the dollar amount of transfers,
  (iii) restricting transfers into and out of certain investment accounts,
  (iv) restricting the method used to submit transfers, and
  (v) deferring a transfer at any time we are unable to purchase or redeem shares of the underlying portfolio.

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

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

Total annual portfolio operating expenses

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

The minimum and maximum expenses shown do not reflect these contractual expense reimbursements or waivers. If such reimbursements or waivers were reflected, the minimum and maximum expenses would be 0.25% and 0.92%, respectively.

Table of Investment Options and Investment Subadvisers

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tax considerations

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

General

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

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

Death benefit proceeds and other policy distributions

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

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

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

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

Table of Contents

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

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

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

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

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

Policy loans

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

Diversification rules and ownership of the Account

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

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

 

14


Table of Contents

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

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

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

7-pay premium limit and modified endowment contract status

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

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

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

is attributable to the policy owner becoming disabled; or

 

   

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

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

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

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

 

15


Table of Contents

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 and 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, using the lower limit from the date it was issued. If the premiums paid to date at any point during the first seven years after the date of issue or the date of the most recent material change are greater than the recalculated 7-pay limit, the policy will become a modified endowment contract.

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

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

Corporate and H.R. 10 retirement plans

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

Withholding

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

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.
