BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company 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 the Company's annual report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 1999. 2. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Total comprehensive income was as follows: FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31 ($ thousands) 1999 1998 ------------- ---- ---- NET INCOME $ 1,038 $ 1,126 -------- -------- OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME, NET OF TAX: Unrealized holding gains (losses) arising during the year (794) 159 Less: Reclassification adjustment for realized gains included in net (132) (50) Income -------- -------- Other comprehensive income (loss) (926) 109 -------- -------- COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS) $ 112 $ 1,235 -------- -------- Other comprehensive income (loss) is reported net of taxes of $499 and $59 for the three months ended March 31 1999 and 1998, respectively. 7 8 3. SEGMENT DISCLOSURES The Company reports three business segments: Annuities, Savings and Retirement Services, and Life Insurance. The Annuities segment consists of annuity contracts that provide the customer with the opportunity to invest in mutual funds managed by independent investment managers and the Company or in the general account of the Company, with investment returns accumulating on a tax-deferred basis. The Savings and Retirement Services segment offers 401(k) products to customers in the State of New York. The Individual Life Insurance segment offers traditional non-participating life insurance to the New York market. The Savings and Retirement Services segment was launched in 1998 and the Individual Life Insurance segment was launched in late 1997. Both these segments are considered to be in the start-up phase. No significant assets or revenues have been generated to date in these two segments. The following is a summary of the contribution to net income of the three business segments: FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31 ($ thousands) 1999 1998 ------------- ---- ---- Annuities $ 1,147 $ 1,393 Savings and Retirement Services (246) (9) Life Insurance 137 (258) --------- --------- NET INCOME (LOSS) $ 1,038 $ 1,126 ========= ========= 8 9 Item 2. Management's Discussion And Analysis of Results of Operations And Financial Condition OVERVIEW The following analysis of the results of operations and financial condition of the Manufacturers Life Insurance Company of New York (hereinafter referred to as "MNY" or the "Company") should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and the related Notes to Financial Statements. CORPORATE STRUCTURE AND OVERVIEW The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company of North America ("MNA"), which is in turn a wholly-owned subsidiary of Manulife-Wood Logan Holding Co., Inc. ("MWL"). MWL is 62.5% owned by The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company (USA) ("ManUSA"), 22.5% by MRL Holding, LLC ("MRL") and 15% by minority interest shareholders. ManUSA and MRL are indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries of The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company ("Manulife Financial"), a federally chartered Canadian mutual life insurance company. The Company is licensed to sell fixed and variable annuities, life insurance and accident and health insurance in New York only. Manufacturers Securities Services, LLC ("MSS"), a majority-owned subsidiary of MNA, acts as investment adviser to the Manufacturers Investment Trust ("MIT"), a no-load, open-end investment management company organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is the principal underwriter of the Company's variable insurance products and the exclusive distributor of the Company's insurance products. MSS is a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. MSS is the successor to NASL Financial Services, Inc. ("NASL Financial"), a broker dealer that conducted operations until September 30, 1997, when it was reorganized into MSS. Prior to October 1, 1997, NASL Financial also acted as investment adviser to North American Funds (NAF), a no-load, open-end investment management company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Company, along with its ultimate parent company Manulife Financial, enjoys strong financial ratings that enhance its ability to attract new sales and retain assets. Distributors and consumers of variable and fixed annuity products have begun to utilize the relative financial strength ratings as a criteria in choosing an annuity carrier. The Company has received financial strength ratings of A++ (Superior) by A.M. Best and AA+ (Very Strong) by Standards and Poor's ("S&P"). The Company is rated AAA (Highest) by Duff & Phelps in terms of the Company's ability to meet its contractual obligations to its policyholders. On January 20, 1998, the Board of Directors of Manulife Financial announced that it had asked the management of Manulife Financial to prepare a plan for conversion 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 its Board of Directors and policyholders, as well as regulatory approval. 9 10 In 1998 and 1997, pursuant to an expanded plan of operations, the Company entered the Savings and Retirement Services and Life Insurance segments. As a result, the Company now reports three segments: Annuities; Savings and Retirement Services; and Life Insurance. Because two of the Company's segments are in the development phase, the assets, revenues and operations of those segments are not material to the Company's first quarter 1999 financial position or, aside from the effect of operating expenses, results of operations. Refer to Note 3 of the Financial Statements for additional segmented information. As a result, the remainder of this discussion will be limited to the Annuities segment except as noted. The Company's primary source of earnings from the annuities segment are fees assessed against policyholder account balances held in the Company's separate accounts including: mortality and expense risk charges, surrender charges and an annual administrative charge. In addition, the segment earns a spread between the advisory fees charged to manage the separate account assets invested in MIT and the subadvisory fees paid to external managers of those assets. A key factor in the Company's profitability is sustained growth in the underlying assets through market performance coupled with the ability to acquire and retain variable annuity deposits. 10 11 REVIEW OF OPERATING RESULTS The discussion that follows compares results for the three months ended March 31, 1999 to those for the three months ended March 31, 1998. 1999 Compared to 1998 The Company recorded net income of $1.0 million in 1999 versus net income of $1.1 million in 1998, a decrease of $0.1 million or 9%. Revenues grew by 59% to $7.4 million as a result of growth in fee income earned on additional separate account assets, investment income from higher general account assets and distributions from MSS associated with the 10% interest in the members' equity transferred to the Company on October 31, 1998. Separate account assets at March 31, 1999 compared to March 31, 1998 were higher by $180.9 million or 26%. The asset growth is attributed to increased variable annuity sales, strong equity market performance, favorable contract persistency and the introduction of the Company's pension products during 1998. Total fees generated from separate accounts and policyholder liabilities increased by $1.0 million or 42% in 1999. Net investment income grew by $1.6 million or 72% related to the first quarter distribution from MSS of net advisory profits associated with the Company's assets held in MIT and other excess cash flow items due the Company. The Company incurred total benefits and expenses in 1999 of $5.8 million, an increase of $2.9 million, or 100% compared to 1998. The additional expenses reflect an increase in non-capitalized acquisition expenses and other increased operating costs. Higher deferred acquisition costs (DAC) balances at March 31, 1999 contributed to an increase in the amortization of DAC. In addition, the Company's investment performance in the first quarter of 1999 (approximately 1.2%) was significantly lower than the first quarter of 1998 (approximately 10%) which resulted in additional amortization of the Company's DAC asset during the first quarter of 1999. The effect of these two items contributed an additional $1.4 million of DAC amortization during the first quarter of 1999. FINANCIAL POSITION 1999 Compared to 1998 Total assets increased from $1,017 million at December 31, 1998 to $1,058 million at March 31, 1999, an increase of $41 million or 4%. Separate account assets increased by 4% over the first quarter of 1999 and represent 82% of total assets as the Company continues to focus on its variable option annuity and pension products. The Company continues to own high quality investment grade fixed maturity investments to support its general account liabilities and shareholder's equity. The Company's DAC asset grew by 8% as the Company experienced increased annuity sales volumes during the first quarter of 1999. The Company deferred the related costs, net of current amortization, associated with those sales. On March 31, 1999, all the Company's short-term investments where recorded as a receivable for undelivered securities. Total liabilities have increased proportionately with the growth in the related assets, primarily in the Company's Separate accounts. The growth in retained earnings is primarily due to net income from operations of $1.0 million. The Company's shareholder's equity decreased by $0.9 million due to lower market values associated with invested assets at March 31, 1999. 11 12 MARKET RISK Market risk is the risk that the Company will incur losses due to adverse changes in market rates and prices. The primary market risk exposure for the Company is the impact of lower than expected equity market performance on its asset-related fee revenue. The Company also has certain exposures to changes in interest rates. The Company earns asset based fees based on the asset levels invested in the separate accounts. As a result, the Company is subject to equity risk and the effect changes in equity market levels will have on the amounts invested in the separate accounts. Interest rate risk is the risk that the Company will incur economic losses due to adverse changes in interest rates. This risk arises from the issuance of certain interest sensitive annuity products and the investing of those proceeds in fixed rate investments. The Company manages its interest rate risk through an asset/liability management program. The Company has established a target portfolio mix which takes into account the risk attributes of the liabilities supported by the assets, expectations of market performance, and a generally conservative investment philosophy. Preservation of capital and maintenance of income flows are key objectives of this program. In addition, the Company has diversified its product portfolio offerings to include products that contain features that will protect it against fluctuations in interest rates. Those features include adjustable crediting rates, policy surrender charges, and market value adjustments on liquidations. Based on the Company's overall exposure to interest rate and equity price risks, the Company believes that changes in market rates would not materially affect the consolidated near-term financial position, results of operations or cashflows of the Company as of March 31, 1999. Refer to the Company's Annual Report on form 10-K for a more detailed discussion of market risks. 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. The systems used by the Company have been assessed as part of a comprehensive written plan conducted by the Company's ultimate parent company, The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company (collectively with its subsidiaries "Manulife Financial"), to ensure that computer systems and processes of Manulife Financial will continue to perform through the end of this century and into the next. In 1996, in order to make Manulife Financial's systems 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 and non-IT systems identified as critical, the Company has completed certification. Of those systems classified as critical, management believes that over 99% were Year 2000 compliant at the end of 1998. Management continues to focus attention on the remaining 1% of critical 12 13 systems. Those that affect the Company are expected to be compliant by the end of the second quarter in 1999. The Company's non-critical systems were Year 2000 compliant as of the first quarter 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 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 appropriate, conducting further due diligence activities. Manulife Financial recognizes the importance of preparing for the change to the Year 2000 and, in January 1999, commenced preparation of contingency plans, in the event that Manulife Financial's Year 2000 program has not fully resolved its Year 2000 issues. The Year 2000 Project Management Office for Manulife Financial's U.S. Division is coordinating the preparation of the Year 2000 contingency plan on behalf of U.S. Division affiliates and subsidiaries, including the Company. A contingency plan concerning the Company was prepared as of the end of the first quarter of 1999, and will be presented to the Board of Directors for final approval in May 1999. 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 computer systems. As part of the Year 2000 program, critical systems were "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 Manulife Financial's Year 2000 program, including consulting third parties and its contingency planning, will avoid any material adverse effect on the Company's operations, customer relations or financial condition. Manulife Financial estimates the total cost of its Year 2000 program will be approximately $59.9 million*, of which $48.6 million* has been incurred through December 31, 1998; however, there can be no assurance that the actual cost incurred will not be materially higher than such estimate. Manulife Financial's Year 2000 costs were $3.9 million* for the first three months of 1999 and $7.1 million* for the first three months of 1998. Most costs will be expensed as incurred; however, those costs attributed to the purchase of new software and hardware will generally be capitalized. A proportional amount of the total cost will be allocated to the Company and is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's net operating income. * All dollar values converted from Canadian dollars using the exchange rate of 1.512 in effect March 31, 1999.
