THE MANUFACTURERS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1997
(UNAUDITED)
1. ORGANIZATION
The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company of America ("ManAmerica" or
the "Company") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Manufacturers Life
Insurance Company (U.S.A.) ("ManUSA" or the "Parent"), which is in turn
an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of The Manufacturers Life Insurance
Company ("Manulife Financial"), a Canadian-based mutual life insurance
company. The Company markets variable annuity and variable life
products in the United States and traditional insurance products in
Taiwan.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of The
Manufacturers Life Insurance Company of America and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP"), except that they do not contain
complete notes. However, in the opinion of management, these statements
include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of the results. These financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes
included in ManAmerica's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1996. Operating results for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 1997.
3. GUARANTEED ANNUITY CONTRACTS AND BONDS PAYABLE
The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Manufacturers Life Mortgage
Securities Corporation, has historically invested amounts received as
repayments of mortgage loans in annuities issued by ManUSA. These
annuities were collateral for the 8 1/4 % mortgage-backed bonds
payable. On March 1, 1997 the annuities matured and the proceeds were
used to repay the bonds payable.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
The following analysis of the consolidated results of operations and financial
condition of the Manufacturers Life Insurance Company of America, (hereafter
referred to as the Company) should be read in conjunction with the accompanying
September 30, 1997 Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
CORPORATE STRUCTURE
The Company is a direct wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of The Manufacturers Life
Insurance Company (U.S.A.), which in turn is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Manulife Reinsurance Corporation (U.S.A.) ("MRC"). MRC is an indirectly
wholly-owned subsidiary of The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company ("Manulife
Financial"), a Canadian mutual insurance company. Manulife Financial, with
consolidated assets under management at December 31, 1996 of $68.6 billion
($Can), actively operates in thirteen countries worldwide. Manulife Financial
has been doing business in the United States since 1903.
REVIEW OF CONSOLIDATED OPERATING RESULTS AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION
The discussion that follows focuses on the results for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 compared to the results for the nine months ended September
30, 1996.
PREMIUMS
Premiums decreased to $3.6 million in the first nine months of 1997, compared to
$10.7 million in the previous year. This is due to slower sales and higher
lapses of individual insurance in the Taiwan branch operations. Also, sales of
variable annuity products have been shifted to a sister company.
FEE INCOME
Fee income increased to $34.0 million in the first nine months of 1997, compared
to $23.9 million in the previous year. This reflects higher fees on the growing
block of variable universal life business.
NET INVESTMENT INCOME
Net investment income was $6.3 million in the first nine months of 1997,
compared to $13.4 million in the same period of 1996. This is a result of the
repayment of the Manufacturers Life Mortgage Securities Corporation ("MLMSC")
bonds on March 1, 1997, which resulted in lower assets and therefore lower
investment income.
REALIZED CAPITAL GAINS
Realized losses in the first nine months of 1997 were $0.09 million compared to
losses of $0.5 million in the same period of 1996. The Company does not actively
trade assets for capital gains.
POLICYHOLDER BENEFITS
Policyholder benefits were $7.1 million in the first nine months of 1997,
compared to $7.9 million in the first nine months of 1996. The decrease is
primarily due to better death and lapse experience in the U.S. block of
business.
7
8
NET INCOME
Net loss in the first nine months of 1997 was $3.3 million, compared to a net
loss of $2.6 million in the same period of 1996. This decrease is primarily due
to increased expenses, including amortization of deferred acquisition expenses.
ASSETS
Separate account assets were $862 million at the end of the first nine months of
1997, compared to $668 million at the end of 1996. This growth reflects positive
investment performance of the underlying investment funds and a continuing
policyholder preference for separate account products which permit access to a
broad mix of investment funds and choices consistent with their risk tolerance
levels. General account assets were $229 million at the end of the first nine
months of 1997, compared to $395 million at the end of 1996. This decrease was
primarily due to the repayment on March 1, 1997 of the mortgage backed bonds in
MLMSC in the amount of $159 million.
LIABILITIES
The Company's separate account liabilities increased $193.5 million. Separate
Account liabilities move in tandem with changes in Separate Account assets.
The repayment of the mortgage backed bonds in MLMSC on March 1, 1997 also
decreased general fund liabilities by $159 million.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
The Company maintains a prudent amount invested in cash, bonds and short-term
investments to meet ongoing liquidity requirements. The Company experiences cash
flow strain, because the costs of generating new sales, and resulting new policy
issues, exceeds income. As a result, the Company looks to its parent, ManUSA,
for the necessary capital to support its operations. ManUSA intends to continue
this support to provide further liquidity.
Manulife Financial has entered into a claims paying guarantee with the Company.
