            THE MANUFACTURERS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA

                        NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                    UNAUDITED

1.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

       The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the
       Company 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 the Company's annual report on Form
       10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997. Operating results for the six
       months ended June 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 shareholder's equity 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 six months ended June 30, 1998 and
       1997 was as follows:

                                                             SIX MONTHS ENDED

       respectively for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.

Item 2. Management's Discussion And Analysis of Results of Operations And
Financial Condition

OVERVIEW

The following analysis of the consolidated results of operations and financial
condition of the Manufacturers Life Insurance Company of North America, (the
"Company") should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial
Statements and the related Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

CORPORATE STRUCTURE

The Company is a direct wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of Manulife-Wood Logan
Holding Co. Inc., which in turn is owned 62.5% by The Manufacturers Life
Insurance Company (U.S.A.) ("ManUSA"), 22.5% by MRL Holding, LLC ("MRL") and 15%
by minority interests (which includes certain employees and former owners of
Wood Logan Associates). ManUSA and MRL are indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries
of The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company ("Manulife Financial"), a Canadian
mutual insurance company. Manulife Financial, with consolidated assets under
management at December 31, 1997 of $79.7 billion ($Can), actively operates in
thirteen countries worldwide. Manulife Financial has been doing business in the
United States since 1903.

IMPACT OF YEAR 2000

Preparing computer systems to deal with the Year 2000 risk has become a major
issue for businesses throughout the world. Within the Manulife Financial group,
a group-wide program has been underway since 1996 to make all critical systems
compliant by the end of 1998 and other systems compliant by the end of 1999.
Included in this program are all systems applicable to and shared by the Company
with Manulife Financial. Based on a detailed assessment, Manulife Financial
determined that a portion of its software needs to be modified or replaced so
that its computer systems will function properly into the Year 2000 and beyond.
Like most companies, the Year 2000 issue represents a significant challenge for
Manulife Financial and extensive resources have been dedicated to modifying
existing software and to converting to new software. However, there can be no
assurances that Manulife Financial's systems, nor those of other companies on
which Manulife Financial relies, will be fully converted on a timely basis and
therefore that all adverse effect on the Company due to the Year 2000 risk will
be avoided. Manulife Financial is presently consulting with vendors, customers,
subsidiaries, third-parties and other businesses with which it deals to ensure
that no material aspect of its, or the Company's, operations will be hindered by
the Year 2000 risk.

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. These risks and uncertainties include changes in general
economic conditions, the effect of regulatory, tax and competitive changes in
the environment in which the Company operates, fluctuations in interest rates,
performance of financial markets and the Company's ability to achieve
anticipated levels of earnings.

REVIEW OF CONSOLIDATED OPERATING RESULTS AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION

OPERATING RESULTS

The discussion that follows compares results for the three months ended June 30,
1998 to those for the three months ended June 30, 1997.




                                       7
<PAGE>   8


DEPOSITS AND PREMIUMS

During the second quarter of 1998, strong growth in variable annuity sales
continued. The Company's sales increased by $105 million from $507 million in
1997 to $612 million in 1998. The increasing sales are primarily due to the
effects of the Efficient Frontier Investment model, competitively performing
investment funds and competitive product features and sales compensation.

FEE INCOME

Total fees, including advisory fees, generated by Separate Accounts and
policyholder funds increased $22.1 million to $65.7 million for the second
quarter of 1998 versus the same period in 1997. Investment performance and a
growing block of inforce business has resulted in higher separate account values
and, therefore, higher fee income, which is a percentage of the net value of
invested assets in the separate account portfolio.

NET INVESTMENT INCOME

Net investment income was $3.0 million for the second quarter of 1998, compared
to $1.6 million in the same period of 1997. This growth is primarily due to the
$47.7 million capital infusion received to support expanded operations in New
York State and the $16.3 million of proceeds related to the disposal of the
Company's mutual fund segment in the fourth quarter of 1997.

REALIZED CAPITAL GAINS

Realized gains in the second quarter of 1998 were $0.1 million compared to
realized gains of $0.0 million in the same period of 1997. The Company does not
actively trade assets for capital gains.

POLICYHOLDER BENEFITS

Policyholder benefits were $1.2 million in the second quarter of 1998, compared
to $1.2 million in the second quarter of 1997.

EXPENSES AND DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS (DPAC) AMORTIZATION

Operating costs and expenses, including commissions, were $66.0 million for the
second quarter of 1998 compared to $52.4 million for the second quarter of 1997
before deferral of acquisition expenses ($31.2 million and $22.4 million,
respectively, net of deferred acquisition expenses). The increase in expenses in
the second quarter of 1998 is primarily attributable to higher subadvisory
expenses generated from higher asset levels in the Company's series Trust,
Manufacturers Investment Trust, an increase in non-capitalized acquisition
expenses (related to higher sales volumes), other costs associated with growth
in the Company's business, and additional operating expenses associated with
expanding the Company's operations in New York. As a result of FASB 97, the
Company's DPAC amortization expense increased by $12.6 million from $4.5 million
during the second quarter of 1998. The increase in DPAC amortization for the
second quarter is a result of the growth in the DPAC balance and lower
investment returns during the quarter. The Company incurred higher financing
costs during the quarter as a result of an increase in outstanding notes payable
related to additional borrowings ($25 million in June 1997 and $25 million in
February 1998) for commission financing associated with the sales growth of the
Company.

NET INCOME

Net income in the second quarter of 1998 was $8.2 million, compared to net
income of $9.6 million in the same period of 1997. As noted previously the
higher fee income and higher investment income in the second quarter of 1998
were offset by higher benefits, operating costs, DPAC amortization and
additional financing costs which led to lower second quarter 1998 results.

The discussion that follows compares results for the six months ended June 30,
1998 to those for the six months ended June 30, 1997.

DEPOSITS AND PREMIUMS

During the first half of 1998, strong growth in variable annuity sales
continued. The Company's sales increased by $256 million from $908 million in
1997 to $1,164 million in 1998. The increasing sales are primarily due to the
effects of the Efficient Frontier Investment model, competitively performing
investment funds and competitive product features and sales compensation.

FEE INCOME

Total fees, including advisory fees, generated by Separate Accounts and
policyholder funds increased to $125.0 million from $85.2 million during the
first half of 1998 versus the same period in 1997. Continued strong investment
performance and a growing block of inforce business has resulted in higher
separate account values and, therefore, higher fee income, which is a percentage
of the net value of invested assets in the separate account portfolio.

NET INVESTMENT INCOME

Net investment income was $5.9 million for the first half of 1998, compared to
$3.4 million in the same period of 1997. This growth is primarily due to the
$47.7 million capital infusion received to support expanded operations in New
York State and the $16.3 million of proceeds related to the disposal of the
Company's mutual fund segment in the fourth quarter of 1997.

REALIZED CAPITAL GAINS

Realized gains in the first half of 1998 were $0.2 million compared to realized
gains of $0.1 million in the same period of 1997. The Company does not actively
trade assets for capital gains.

POLICYHOLDER BENEFITS

Policyholder benefits were $2.6 million in the first half of 1998, compared to
$2.3 million in the first half of 1997. This increase is primarily a result of
higher fixed accumulation account values. The Company's policyholder funds were
$95.9 million and $ 89.5 million at June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997,
respectively.

EXPENSES AND DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS (DPAC) AMORTIZATION

Operating costs and expenses, including commissions, were $124.9 million for the
first half of 1998 compared to $98.6 million for the first half of 1997 before
deferral of acquisition expenses ($58.9 million and $45.0 million, respectively,
net of deferred acquisition expenses). The increase in expenses in the first
half of 1998 is primarily attributable to higher subadvisory expenses generated
from higher asset levels in the Company's series Trust, Manufacturers Investment
Trust, an increase in non-capitalized acquisition expenses (related to higher
sales volumes), other costs associated with growth in the Company's business,
and additional operating expenses associated with expanding the Company's
operations in New York. As a result of FASB 97, the Company's DPAC amortization
expense increased by $1.3 million to $20.9 million from $19.6 million during the
first half of 1998. The impact of growth in business on DPAC amortization has
been largely offset by the effect of better than expected investment returns.
The Company incurred higher financing costs during the first half of 1998 as a
result of an increase in outstanding notes payable related to additional
borrowings ($25 million in June 1997 and $25 million in February 1998) for
commission financing associated with the sales growth of the Company.

NET INCOME

Net income in the first half of 1998 was $24.1 million, compared to net income
of $10.5 million in the same period of 1997. As noted previously the higher fee
income and higher investment income in the first half of 1998 were 



                                       9



<PAGE>   10

partially offset by higher benefits, operating costs, DPAC amortization and
additional financing costs which led to improved 1998 results.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

ASSETS

Separate account assets were $11.2 billion at the end of the second quarter of
1998, compared to $9.5 billion at the end of 1997. This growth reflects net cash
transfers to the separate accounts of $0.7 billion and $1.0 billion of gains due
to investment performance of the underlying funds and growth in the overall
variable annuity business.

General account assets were $1.2 billion at the end of the second quarter of
1998, compared to $1.1 billion at the end of 1997.

The DPAC asset increased from $365.0 million at the end of 1997 to $410.0
million at the end of the second quarter of 1998. This increase is primarily due
to deferrable acquisition costs associated with the increased sales volumes of
variable annuity products net of DPAC amortization associated with in-force
business.

LIABILITIES

The Company's total liabilities of $12.2 billion increased $1.8 billion and
moved with changes in the asset levels. Separate Account liabilities move in
tandem with changes in Separate Account assets. The Company received an
additional $25 million of borrowing, during February 1998 to provide commission
financing as the Company continued to increase its sales volumes over 1997
levels.
