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, 1997. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 1998. 2. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose annual financial statements. Comprehensive income includes all changes in capital and surplus during a period except those resulting from investments by, and distributions to shareholders. The adoption of SFAS 130 resulted in revised and additional disclosures but had no effect on the financial position, results of operations, or liquidity of the Company. Total comprehensive income for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 was as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30 September 30 COMPREHENSIVE INCOME: 1998 1997 1998 1997 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net income (loss) $ (1,104) $ (4,063) $ (2,767) $ (3,266) Other comprehensive income, net of tax: Unrealized holding gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities 269 (396) 1,259 672 Foreign currency translation 75 -- (714) -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Other comprehensive income (loss) $ 344 $ (396) $ 545 $ 672 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS) $ (760) $ (4,459) $ (2,222) $ (2,594) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Other comprehensive income is reported net of taxes of $185 and $(213) for the three months and $293 and $362 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. 6 7 3. CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION On June 30, 1998 an outstanding promissory note issued by the Company on December 5, 1997 to ManUSA in the amount of $34.3 million ($33 million principal plus $1.3 million accrued interest) was converted to capital and reported as contributed surplus. 4. COMPARATIVE FIGURES Certain amounts in the 1997 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 1998 financial statement presentation. 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 "ManAmerica" or the "Company") should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. CORPORATE STRUCTURE AND OVERVIEW The Company is a direct wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) ("ManUSA"), 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 has been doing business in the United States since 1903. On January 20, 1998, the Board of Directors of Manulife Financial asked the management of Manulife Financial to prepare a plan for conversion of Manulife Financial from a mutual life insurance company to an investor-owned, publicly-traded stock company. Any demutualization plan for Manulife Financial is subject to the approval of Manulife Financial's Board of Directors and policyholders as well as regulatory approval. The Company is active in two distinct businesses: a) Domestically, the sale of Variable Insurance Products b) Internationally, the sale of individual insurance products through Branch Operations in Taiwan 7 8 VARIABLE PRODUCTS During the last four years the company has grown significantly through variable insurance sales. This growth reflects: a) continuing shift in consumer preference as they seek greater control over their investment decision making, b) more active marketing and sales practices by the company, c) increased consumer acceptance of this product due to increasing estate planning needs. This growth has continued in 1998 with variable universal life (VUL) deposits for the nine months ending September, 1998 being 128% of the VUL deposits for the same period in 1997. The Company's introduction in 1997 of a corporate-owned (COLI) Variable Universal Life contract together with the addition of nineteen new investment accounts have been positively received as discussed in detail below. Variable annuity deposits for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 were 22% of deposit levels for the same period in 1997. The Company has de-emphasized the sale of variable annuities and concentrated on the sale of estate planning variable life products which is more consistent with its client and producer base. Variable annuities for Manulife Financial are currently being marketed through an affiliated company, The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company of North America. TAIWAN The Company entered Taiwan in 1992 as a start-up venture to sell traditional insurance products through its Taiwan branch with full operations commencing during 1995. The currency crisis experienced in Asia in the fourth quarter of 1997 impacted the Taiwan branch operations through higher lapses as policyholders had difficulty paying premiums largely denominated in U.S. dollars. During the first nine months of 1998, there has been a significant improvement in the Taiwan business lapse ratios compared to 1997. Taiwan premiums for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 have increased by $0.5 million compared to the same period for 1997. In addition to the above businesses, the Company assumes reinsurance from its Parent Company, ManUSA. The Company reinsures an inforce individual participating life insurance block of business which does not include any new business. REVIEW OF CONSOLIDATED OPERATING RESULTS AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION The discussion that follows focuses on the results for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 1998 compared to the results for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 1997. DEPOSITS AND PREMIUMS Variable universal life (VUL) deposits of $154.1 million for the nine months and $51.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998 were 28% and 40% higher respectively than the VUL deposits of $120.2 million and $36.5 million for the same periods in 1997. Sales of the corporate-owned (COLI) Variable Universal Life contract, which was introduced in 1997, continued to increase in the third quarter 8 9 of 1998 compared to 1997. The growth in the COLI business in the first nine months of 1998 has contributed to the increase in the separate account assets from $897 million at the end of 1997 to $929 million at September 30, 1998. The growth in VUL business was offset in part by unfavorable investment performance. Overall premium income was $6.3 million for the nine months and $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998 compared to $6.0 million and $2.4 million for the same period of 1997. U.S. premiums assumed from ManUSA have decreased by $0.3 million and Taiwan premiums have increased by $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 compared to the same period of 1997. FEE INCOME Fee income increased by $7.1 million, or 22%, for the nine months and $3.5 million, or 34%, for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from the same periods in 1997. The majority of the increase in fee income in 1998 is attributable to cost of insurance charges on a larger inforce block of business in 1998 compared to 1997. Cost of insurance charges increased by $5.3 million, or 34%, for the nine months and increased by $2.5 million, or 52%, for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from the same periods in 1997. NET INVESTMENT INCOME Net investment income was $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, compared to $6.3 million in the same period of 1997. Included in the 1997 net investment income amount is approximately $2.5 million of interest earned on the Manufacturers Life Mortgage Securities Corporation ("MLMSC") bonds which were repaid on March 1, 1997. Excluding this item, net investment income in the nine months ended September 30, 1998 increased by approximately $0.4 million compared to the same period of 1997. POLICYHOLDER BENEFITS Policyholder benefits increased by $4.4 million for the nine months and decreased by $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998 compared to the same periods in 1997. The increase in the policyholder benefits for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 is primarily due to increased reserves for the Taiwan business due to new business and a slower run-off of reserves in the first nine months of 1998 as lower surrender levels were experienced compared to the same period in 1997. 9 10 EXPENSES AND DEFERRED ACQUISITION COSTS (DAC) AMORTIZATION Operating costs and expenses, including commissions, were $64.1 million for the nine months and $19.8 for the three months ended September 30, 1998 compared to $48.3 million and $15.6 million for the same periods in 1997 before deferral of acquisition expenses. Net of deferred acquisition costs, these costs were $31.7 million for the nine months and $10.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998 compared to $25.9 million and $7.6 million for the same periods in 1997. The increase in expenses in the nine months and three months ended September 30, 1998 is primarily attributable to costs incurred in the sale of the COLI variable universal life product introduced in 1997. A significant portion of these expenses have been deferred in 1998 resulting in an increase in the DAC asset as explained below. The DAC amortization expense was $8.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 compared to $10.2 million for the same period in 1997. The decrease is due primarily to a lower amortization rate used in 1998 compared to 1997 because of assumption changes. The DAC amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 1998 was $3.6 million compared with $2.9 million for the same period in 1997. This increase is attributable to additional amortization of Taiwan DAC resulting from unlocking as actual experience varied from estimated. NET INCOME A net loss of $2.8 million was reported for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 compared to a net loss of $3.3 million for the same period in 1997. Increased fee income and lower DAC amortization expense in the nine months ending September 30, 1998 were offset by higher policyholder benefits and operating costs and expenses and lower investment income. The net loss was $1.1 million for the three months ending September 30, 1998 compared to a net loss of $4.1 million for the same period in 1997. The lower net loss in the three months ended September 30, 1998 is due to increased fee and investment income and lower policyholder benefits compared to the same period in 1997. ASSETS Separate account assets were $929 million at September 30, 1998 compared to $897 million at the end of 1997. The increase in separate account assets due to net cash transfers of $69.0 million was offset by $36.6 million of losses due to unfavorable stock market performance during this period. For the three months ended September 30, 1998, net transfers totaled $21.8 million compared to $17.9 million for the same period in 1997, and investment losses of $107.4 million were recorded in the three months ended September 30, 1998 compared to investment gains of $65.2 million in 1997. DAC increased from $130.4 million at the end of 1997 to $155.3 million as at the end of September 30, 1998. This increase is primarily due to deferrable acquisition costs associated with the sale of the COLI product introduced in 1997. LIABILITIES The Company's separate account liabilities increased $32.3 million. Separate Account liabilities move in tandem with changes in Separate Account assets. General account liabilities decreased from $162.8 million at the end of 1997 to $143.1 million at September 30, 1998 due primarily to the conversion of a note payable of approximately $34 million to capital in the second quarter of 1998. See Note 3 for additional details. 10 11 IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 The Company makes extensive use of information systems in the operations of its various businesses, including for the exchange of financial data and other information with customers, suppliers and other counterparties. The Company also uses software and information systems provided by third parties in its accounting, business and investment systems. The Year 2000 risk, as it is commonly known, is the result of computer programs being written using two digits, rather than four, to define the applicable year. Any of the Company's computer programs that have date-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in systems failures or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send premium billing notices, make claims payments or engage in other normal business activities. In 1996, in order to make all systems applicable to and shared by the Company with Manulife Financial Year 2000 compliant, a program was instituted to modify or replace both Manulife Financial's information technology systems ("IT systems") and embedded technology systems ("Non-IT systems"). The phases of this program include (i) an inventory and assessment of all systems to determine which are critical, (ii) planning and designing the required modifications and replacements, (iii) making these modifications and replacements, (iv) testing modified or replaced systems, (v) redeploying modified or replaced systems and (vi) final management review and certification. For most IT systems identified as critical, Manulife Financial is in either the testing, redeployment or final review and certification phase. For critical Non-IT systems, Manulife Financial is, on average, in the redeployment phase. Management believes that Manulife Financial's critical systems will be Year 2000 compliant by the end of 1998, and that other systems will be dealt with by the end of 1999. In addition to efforts directed at Manulife Financial's own systems, Manulife Financial is presently consulting vendors, customers, and other third parties with which it deals in an effort to ensure that no material aspect of Manulife Financial's or the Company's operations will be hindered by Year 2000 problems of these third parties. This process includes providing third parties with questionnaires regarding the state of their Year 2000 readiness and, where possible or where the relationship is deemed material, testing or otherwise confirming that the responses received are correct. Manulife Financial's contingency plans for the Year 2000 risk are currently being addressed in conjunction with its business continuity planning process, which includes disaster recovery. Manulife Financial and the Company recognize the importance of preparing for the change to the Year 2000 and, commencing in January 1999, will conduct an assessment of the risk that Manulife Financial's Year 2000 program has not fully resolved its Year 2000 issues and prepare, if necessary, appropriate contingency plans to address these risks. Management currently believes that, with modifications to existing software and conversions to new software, the Year 2000 risk will not pose significant operational problems for Manulife Financial's or the Company's computer systems. As part of the Year 2000 program, critical systems are being "time-shift" tested in the Year 2000 and beyond to confirm that they will continue to function properly before, during and after the change to the Year 2000. However, there can be no assurance that the Manulife Financial's Year 2000 program, including consulting third parties, will avoid any material adverse effect on Manulife Financial's or the Company's operations, customer relations or financial condition. Manulife Financial estimates the total cost of its Year 2000 program will be approximately $60 million, of which $42 million has been incurred through September 30, 1998; however, there can be no assurance that the actual cost incurred will not be materially higher than such estimate. Those costs attributed to the purchase of new software and hardware will be capitalized. Other costs will be expensed as incurred. The Company will receive an allocation of these 11 12 costs due to its shared systems but these costs are not expected to have a material effect on the net operating income of the Company. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Certain information included herein is forward-looking within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, but not limited to, statements concerning anticipated operating results, financial resources, growth in existing markets and the impact of the year 2000. Such forward-looking information involves important risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect actual results and cause them to differ materially from expectations expressed herein.
