                                    PART II

                          UNDERTAKING TO FILE REPORTS

      Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, the undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file with
the Securities and Exchange Commission such supplementary and periodic
information, documents, and reports as may be prescribed by any rule or
regulation of the Commission heretofore or hereafter duly adopted pursuant to
authority conferred in that Section.

                       REPRESENTATION OF REASONABLENESS

      John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company represents that the fees and
charges deducted under the Policies, in the aggregate, are reasonable in
relation to the services rendered, the expenses expected to be incurred, and the
risks assumed by the insurance company.

                     UNDERTAKING REGARDING INDEMNIFICATION

      Pursuant to Article 9 of John Hancock's Bylaws and Section 67 of the
Massachusetts Business Corporation Law, John Hancock indemnifies each director,
former director, officer, and former officer, and his heirs and legal
representatives from liability incurred or imposed in connection with any legal
action in which he may be involved by reason of any alleged act or omission as
an officer or a director of John Hancock.

      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.

    NOTES TO FUND EXPENSE TABLE
    (1) John Hancock Variable Series Trust I funds' percentages reflect
      management fees and other fund expenses based on the allocation
      methodology and expense reimbursement policy adopted April 23, 1999.
       Under the policy, John Hancock Life Insurance Company voluntarily
      reimburses a fund when the fund's "other fund expenses" exceed 0.10% of
      the fund's average daily net assets. The percentages for the American
      Leaders Large Cap Value Fund and the Core Bond Fund are estimates
      because the funds were not in operation prior to the date of this
      prospectus.

    (6) The percentages for the new Service Shares Class of the Janus Aspen
      Global Technology Fund and the Janus Aspen Worldwide Growth Fund are
      estimates because the Service Shares Class was not in operation in 1999.
       All such estimates have been made without regard to the effect of any
      expense offset arrangements.

                  JOHN HANCOCK MUTUAL VARIABLE LIFE ACCOUNT UV

                               FIRST QUARTER 2000


The most current financial statements for John Hancock are those as of December
     31, 1999. We do not prepare such financial statements more often than
 annually. Moreover, we believe that any additional benefit you would get from
 more recent financial statements would not justify our cost in preparing them.
  (This is true even though we would not necessarily have to incur the expense
 of an independent audit of those financial statements.) In this connection, we
  represent that there have been no material adverse changes in our financial
     condition or operations between December 31, 1999 and the date of this
                         supplement to the prospectus.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

                                 MARCH 31, 1999

1. ORGANIZATION

  John Hancock Mutual Variable Life Insurance Account UV (the Account) is a
separate investment account of John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company
(JHMLICO or John Hancock). John Hancock Mutual Variable Life Insurance Account
UV was formed to fund variable life insurance policies (Policies) issued by
JHMLICO. The Account is operated as a unit investment trust registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and currently consists of
twenty-seven subaccounts. The assets of each subaccount are invested exclusively
in shares of a corresponding Portfolio of John Hancock Variable Series Trust I
(the Fund) or of M Fund Inc. (M Fund). New subaccounts may be added as new
Portfolios are added to the Fund or to M Fund, or as other investment options
are developed, and made available to policyholders. The twenty-seven Portfolios
of the Fund and M Fund which are currently available are the Large Cap Growth,
Sovereign Bond, International Equity Index, Small Cap Growth, International
Balanced, Mid Cap Growth, Large Cap Value, Money Market, Mid Cap Value,
Small/Mid Cap Growth (formerly, Diversified Mid Cap Growth), Real Estate Equity,
Growth & Income, Managed, Short-Term Bond, Small Cap Value, International
Opportunities, Equity Index, Global Bond (formerly, Strategic Bond), Turner Core
Growth, Brandes International Equity, Frontier Capital Appreciation, Emerging
Markets Equity, Global Equity, Bond Index, Small/Mid Cap CORE, High Yield Bond
and Enhanced U.S. Equity Portfolios. Each Portfolio has a different investment
objective.

  The net assets of the Account may not be less than the amount required under
state insurance law to provide for death benefits (without regard to the minimum
death benefit guarantee) and other policy benefits. Additional assets are held
in JHMLICO'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.

  The assets of the Account are the property of JHMLICO. The portion of the
Account's assets applicable to the policies may not be charged with liabilities
arising out of any other business JHMLICO may conduct.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 Estimates

  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 Valuation of Investments

  Investment in shares of the Fund and of M Fund are valued at the reported net
asset values of the respective Portfolios. Investment transactions are recorded
on the trade date. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date.
Realized gains and losses on sales of respective Portfolio shares are determined
on the basis of identified cost.

 Federal Income Taxes

  The operations of the Account are included in the federal income tax return of
JHMLICO, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue
Code. JHMLICO has the right to charge the Account any federal income taxes, or
provision for federal income taxes, attributable to the operations of the
Account or to the Policies funded in the Account. Currently, JHMLICO does not
make a charge for income or other taxes. Charges for state and local taxes, if
any, attributable to the Account may also be made.

             NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

 Expenses

  JHMLICO assumes mortality and expense risks of the variable life insurance
policies for which asset charges are deducted at various rates ranging from .50%
to .625%, depending on the type of policy, of net assets (excluding policy
loans) of the Account. Additionally, a monthly charge at varying levels for the
cost of extra insurance is deducted from the net assets of the Account.

  JHMLICO makes certain deductions for administrative expenses and state premium
taxes from premium payments before amounts are transferred to the Account.

 Policy Loans

  Policy loans represent outstanding loans plus accrued interest. Interest is
accrued (net of a charge for policy loan administration determined at an annual
rate of .75% of the aggregate amount of policyholder indebtedness) and
compounded daily.

3. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

  JHMLICO acts as the distributor, principal underwriter and investment advisor
for the Fund.

  Certain officers of the Account are officers and directors of JHMLICO or the
Fund.

SUPPLEMENT DATED JUNE 30, 2000
TO
PROSPECTUS DATED MAY 1, 2000

The prospectus for the John Hancock Variable Series Trust I is hereby amended
as follows:

 . The American Leaders Large Cap Value Fund and the Core Bond Fund are added
   to the John Hancock Variable Series Trust I and the Goal and Strategy,
   Subadviser, Past Performance, Main Risks and Financial Highlights of each
   Fund, as set forth on pages 2 through 5 of this Supplement, are added to
   the prospectus.

 . The pages of the prospectus that describe the Goal and Strategy,
   Subadviser, Past Performance, Main Risks and Financial Highlights of the
   Real Estate Equity Fund are deleted and replaced by the material on pages 6
   and 7 of this Supplement. The material on pages 6 and 7 of this Supplement
   describe a new "multi-manager" approach for the Real Estate Equity Fund.

 . The Section of the prospectus entitled "Funds' Expenses," which states that
   the advisory fee paid by the Real Estate Equity Fund to the adviser last
   year was 0.60% of net assets, is amended by adding the following language:

   "The American Leaders Large Cap Value Fund and the Core Bond Fund were not
   in operation last year. Those funds pay fees to the advisor (as a percent-
   age of net assets) as follows:

   . American Leaders Large Cap Value: 0.80% of first $50 million; 0.65% of
     next $200 million; 0.60% of next $250 million; 0.55% above $500 million.

   . Core Bond: 0.70% of first $25 million; 0.65% of next $25 million; 0.60%
     of next $100 million; 0.55% above $150 million."

 . The second paragraph of the Section of the prospectus entitled "Dividends
   and Taxes" is amended to read as follows:

   "Each fund declares and pays dividends monthly, except that the Small/Mid
   Cap Growth Fund does so annually and the Money Market Fund does so daily."

The American Leaders Large Cap Value Fund and the Core Bond Fund are subject
to all provisions of the prospectus that are applicable to all funds of the
John Hancock Variable Series Trust I, including the following provisions:

 RISKS OF FUNDS

 These funds, like all mutual funds, are not bank deposits. They are not
 insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. You could
 lose money by investing in these funds. So, be sure to read all risk disclo-
 sure carefully before investing.

 MANAGEMENT

 John Hancock is the investment advisor of each fund. John Hancock is a Massa-
 chusetts stock life insurance company. On February 1, 2000, John Hancock
 changed its form of organization and its name. Prior to that date, it was
 John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company, a mutual life insurance company
 that was chartered in 1862. At the end of 1999, John Hancock managed approxi-
 mately $127 billion, of which John Hancock owned over $71 billion. Most of
 the funds have subadvisers.

American Leaders Large Cap Value Fund

GOAL AND STRATEGY

This is a large cap stock fund with a value emphasis that seeks long-term
growth in capital and dividend income.

The Fund invests primarily in a diversified mix of common stocks of large
established U.S. companies that are believed to offer favorable prospects for
increasing dividends and growth in capital.

The manager selects stocks using a combination of quantitative screening tools
and fundamental equity research.

The manager employs quantitative screening tools to identify companies that
are:

 . leading their industries in terms of sales earnings and/or market capitaliza-
  tion;

 . exhibiting low price-to-earnings ratios relative to historical levels;

 . trading at reasonable prices relative to growth expectations;

 . generating strong cash flow relative to stock price; and

 . not experiencing negative earnings revision trends or poor stock price momen-
  tum.

The manager employs fundamental equity research to confirm the screening proc-
ess and to examine the company's:

 . financial health;

 . business and product strength;

 . competitive position; and

 . management strength.

The Fund's sector weightings are broadly diversified and managed relative to
the broad large-cap equity market.

The Fund normally invests in 70 to 120 stocks, with at least 65% (usually high-
er) of its assets in U.S. large cap companies. The Fund normally has 10% or
less of its assets in cash and cash equivalents.

The Fund may purchase other types of securities, for example: American Deposi-
tory Receipts (ADRs), and certain derivatives (investments whose value is based
on indices or other securities).

In abnormal market conditions, the Fund may take temporary defensive measures--
such as holding unusually large amounts of cash and cash equivalents--that are
inconsistent with the Fund's primary investment strategy. In taking those mea-
sures, the Fund may not achieve its investment goal.

MAIN RISKS

Primary

Market Risk: The value of the securities in the Fund may go down in response to
overall stock or bond market movements. Markets tend to move in cycles, with
periods of rising prices and periods of falling prices. Stocks tend to go up
and down in value more than bonds. If the Fund's investments are concentrated
in certain sectors, the Fund's performance could be worse than the overall mar-
ket.

Manager Risk: The manager and its strategy may fail to produce the intended
results. The Fund could underperform its peers or lose money if the manager's
investment strategy does not perform as expected.

Investment Category Risk: The returns of the Fund's specific investment cate-
gory may lag the returns of the overall stock market. For example, the Fund's
"value" approach carries the risk that in certain markets "value" stocks will
underperform "growth" stocks. Also, the Fund's "large cap" approach carries the
risk that in certain markets large cap stocks will underperform small cap and
mid cap stocks.

Secondary

Derivatives Risk: Certain derivative instruments (such as options, futures and
swaps) can produce disproportionate gains or losses. They are generally consid-
ered more risky than direct equity investments. Also, in a down market, deriva-
tives could become harder to value or sell at a fair price.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS--This is a new Fund. It was not in operation prior to the
date of this prospectus.

Core Bond Fund

GOAL AND STRATEGY

This ia a bond fund that seeks income and growth in capital.

This is considered an "intermediate" bond fund in that it maintains an average
bond maturity which is typically between four and ten years.

The Fund primarily invests in a diversified mix of debt securities, including:

 . U.S. Treasury and agency securities;

 . foreign government and agency securities (if dollar denominated);

 . corporate bonds, both U.S. and foreign (if dollar denominated); and

 . mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities.

The manager normally invests:

 . mostly in investment grade debt securities;

 . no more than 15% of its assets in high yield bonds; and

 . no more than 25% of its assets in U.S. dollar denominated foreign securi-
  ties, excluding Canadian securities.

The manager makes ongoing decisions regarding the Fund's average maturity,
sector exposures and yield curve exposures. The manager uses proprietary
research and economic analysis to try to anticipate interest rate movements
and to identify sectors and specific bonds that are undervalued. The manager
examines a variety of factors, including macroeconomic analysis and corporate
earnings analyses, to determine which business sectors and credit ratings are
most advantageous for investment. The manager evaluates bonds of all quality
levels and maturities from many different sectors and issuers. The Fund nor-
mally has an average credit quality rating of "A" or higher.

The manager actively manages the Fund's interest rate sensitivity by adjusting
the Fund's average bond maturity. The Fund's average bond maturity may there-
fore differ from that of the overall bond market (as represented by such indi-
ces as the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index). The Fund normally invests at
least 65% (usually higher) of its assets in bonds. The Fund normally has 10%
or less of its assets in cash and cash equivalents.

The manager may use derivatives (investments whose value is based on indices
or other securities) such as futures to manage the Fund's average maturity and
interest rate volatility.

The Fund may purchase other types of securities, for example: foreign bonds of
developed markets denominated in foreign currencies, and emerging market debt
securities.

In abnormal market conditions, the Fund may take temporary defensive mea-
sures--such as holding unusually large amounts of cash and cash equivalents--
that are inconsistent with the Fund's primary investment strategy. In taking
those measures, the Fund may not achieve its investment goal.

MAIN RISKS

Primary

Market Risk: The value of the securities in the Fund may go down in response
to overall stock or bond market movements. Markets tend to move in cycles,
with periods of rising prices and periods of falling prices. Stocks tend to go
up and down in value more than bonds. If the Fund's investments are concen-
trated in certain sectors, the Fund's performance could be worse than the
overall market.

Manager Risk: The manager and its strategy may fail to produce the intended
results. The Fund could underperform its peers or lose money if the manager's
investment strategy does not perform as expected.

Interest Rate Risk: When interest rates rise, the Fund's bond yields will gen-
erally rise and the Fund's bond prices will generally fall. When interest
rates fall, the reverse will generally occur. The longer the average remaining
maturity of bonds held by the Fund, the more sensitive the Fund is to interest
rate risk. This Fund has more interest rate risk than a short-term bond fund,
but less interest rate risk than a long-term bond fund.

Credit Risk: An issuer of a bond held by the Fund may default on its obliga-
tion to pay interest and repay principal. Also, the credit rating of a bond
held by the fund may be downgraded. In either case, the value of the bond held
by the Trust would fall. All bonds have some credit risk, but in general low-
er-rated bonds have higher credit risk.

Turnover Risk: In general, the greater the volume of buying and selling by a
fund (i.e., the higher its "turnover rate"), the greater the impact that bro-
kerage commissions and other transaction costs will have on the fund's perfor-
mance. Any turnover rate in excess of 100% is considered relatively high. Nor-
mally, the Fund's turnover rate will be greater than 100%.

Secondary

Foreign Risk: The Fund's foreign securities will pose special risks, due to
limited government regulation, lack of public information, and economic,
political and social instability. Factors such as lack of liquidity, foreign
ownership limits and restrictions on removing currency also pose special
risks. All foreign securities have some degree of foreign risk. However, to
the extent the Fund invests in emerging market countries, it will have a sig-
nificantly higher degree of foreign risk than if it invested exclusively in
developed or newly-industrialized countries.

High Yield Bond Risk: Junk bonds, defined as bond securities rated below BBB-
/Baa3, may be subject to more volatile or erratic price movements due to
investor sentiment. In a down market, these high yield securities become
harder to value or to sell at a fair price.

Prepayment/Call Risk: The Fund's share price or yield could be hurt if inter-
est rate movements cause the Fund's mortgage-related and callable securities
to be paid off substantially earlier than expected.

Derivatives Risk: Certain derivative instruments (such as options, futures and
swaps) can produce disproportionate gains or losses. They are generally con-
sidered more risky than direct fixed income investments. Also, in a down mar-
ket, derivatives could become harder to value or sell at a fair price.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS--This is a new Fund. It was not in operation prior to the
date of this prospectus.

Real Estate Equity Fund

GOAL AND STRATEGY

This is a real estate stock fund that seeks above-average income and long-term
growth in capital.

The Fund invests primarily in:

 . equity securities of real estate investment trusts (REITs) that own commer-
  cial and multi-family residential real estate; and

 . equity securities of real estate operating companies (i.e., companies with at
  least 75% of revenue, income or fair asset value derived from real estate).

The Fund employs two subadvisers, each of which independently selects and con-
structs a portfolio for its portion of the Fund. Each sub-adviser employs its
own investment approach to identify securities considered attractive and to
construct and manage its portion of the Fund. On or about June 30, 2000, the
assets of the Fund were evenly divided between the subadvisers. All subsequent
investments in and redemptions from the Fund will be evenly divided between the
subadvisers.

Independence Investment Associates, Inc. ("IIA") selects real estate stocks
using a combination of proprietary, equity research and quantitative tools.
Real estate stocks are purchased that are undervalued relative to the stock's
history and the market and have improving earnings growth prospects.

IIA employs risk control techniques to maintain risk, style and industry char-
acteristics similar to the public equity real estate market. IIA will normally
invest in 40 to 60 securities in its portion of the Fund.

Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Investment Management Inc. ("MSDW") selects real
estate stocks using a combination of:

 . top-down, market overview to identify undervalued property sectors and geo-
  graphic regions; and

 . proprietary, fundamental equity research to select companies that are attrac-
  tively priced relative to the value of their underlying real estate assets.

MSDW seeks to maintain broad exposure to key property sectors (i.e., apart-
ments, retail and office/industrial). MSDW will normally invest in 30 to 50
securities in its portion of the Fund.

Each portion of the Fund normally has at least 65% (usually higher) of its
assets invested in real estate equity securities and 5% or less of its assets
in cash and cash equivalents.

Each portion of the Fund also may purchase other types of securities, for exam-
ple: American Depository Receipts (ADRs), convertible securities, and equity
securities of non-real estate businesses whose real estate holdings are signif-
icant in relation to their market capitalization.

In abnormal market conditions, each portion of the Fund may take temporary
defensive measures--such as holding unusually large amounts of cash and cash
equivalents--that are inconsistent with the Fund's primary investment strategy.
In taking those measures, the Fund may not achieve its investment goal.

PAST PERFORMANCE

The graph shows how the fund's total return has varied from year to year, while
the table shows performance over time (along with a broad-based market index
for reference). This information may help provide an indication of the fund's
risks and potential rewards. All figures assume dividend reinvestment. Past
performance does not indicate future results. The performance figures below do
not reflect the deduction of fees and charges payable under the variable
contracts. Such fees and charges would cause the investment returns under the
contracts to be less than that shown below.

MAIN RISKS

Primary

Real Estate Securities Risk: Real estate investment trusts (REITs) or other
real estate-related equity securities may be affected by changes in the value
of the underlying property owned by the trust. Mortgage REITs may be affected
by the quality of any credit extended. Other potential risks include the possi-
bility of a REIT failing to qualify for tax-free pass-through of income under
the Internal Revenue Code or failing to maintain exemption under the Investment
Company Act of 1940.

Market Risk: The value of the securities in the Fund may go down in response to
overall stock or bond market movements. Markets tend to move in cycles, with
periods of rising prices and periods of falling prices. Stocks tend to go up an
down in value more than bonds. Because the Fund's investments are concentrated
in the real estate sector, the Fund's performance could be worse than the over-
all market.

Manager Risk: The managers and their respective strategies may fail to produce
the intended results. The Fund could underperform its peers or lose money if
the managers' investment strategies do not perform as expected.

Concentration Risk: The Fund's investment in securities of a smaller number of
issuers could produce more volatile performance relative to funds that invest
in a larger number of issuers. The more concentrated a fund's holdings are, the
more likely it is a specific security's poor performance will hurt the fund
significantly.

Small/Mid Cap Stock Risk: The Fund's investment in smaller or mid-sized compa-
nies may be subject to more erratic price movements than investment in large
established companies.

Interest Rate Risk: The Fund is subject to interest rate risk, which is the
possibility that changes in interest rates could hurt REIT performance. In gen-
eral, during periods of high interest rates, REITs may lose some of their
appeal for investors who may be able to obtain higher yields from other income-
producing investments, such as long-term bonds. Higher interest rates also mean
that financing for property purchases and improvements is more costly and dif-
ficult to obtain.

Turnover Risk: In general, the greater the volume of buying and selling by a
fund (i.e., the higher its "turnover rate"), the greater the impact that bro-
kerage commissions and other transaction costs will have on the fund's perfor-
mance. Any turnover rate in excess of 100% is considered relatively high. Nor-
mally, the Fund's turnover rate will be greater than 100%.
