      is expected to account for its investment at fair value, based on recent actions
      by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (proposed FSP 85-4-a pending).
      The
      new accounting method would allow the limited partnership - and by extension,
      us
      - to record the life settlements at their cost. Premium maintenance costs are
      added to value of the life settlements. The parties anticipate they may
      undertake similar future arrangements if this initial arrangement is successful.

      obtaining these life settlement policies for the limited partnership increases
      administrative responsibilities, we have made prior investments in
      infrastructure and software in order to accommodate the increase in business.
      We
      do not anticipate that the limited partnership will greatly affect our typical
      retail viatical and other life settlement investors. We also believe that the
      supply of potential life settlements is sufficient and growing as awareness
      of
      the benefits of life settlement transactions grows. We believe our personnel,
      infrastructure and internal procedures are capable of handling the increased
      workload without significant adjustments or increases in administrative
      expenses. </font></div>

Section 1
      - Registrant's Business and Operations
Item
      1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Life
      Partners Holdings, Inc. ("we") announced that we and
Life
      Partners, Inc. (our principal subsidiary) (
"Life
      Partners")
entered
      into a limited partnership arrangement with an investment fund
managed
      by a well-known U.S. based global investment and asset management firm with
      billions of dollars under management.
Over
      the
      next three to nine months, the
limited
      partnership
expects
      to invest $50 million in life settlement contracts from Life Partners on a
      cost
      basis. The death benefits of the life insurance policies underlying the
      settlement contracts may be in excess of $150 million. Life Partners will bear
      10% of the purchase and premium maintenance costs in exchange for a like share
      of the equity return, plus a substantial promotional interest after the
      return of capital.
With
      the
      purchase of each policy, Life Partners will receive a small service fee to
      cover
      its administrative costs related to each transaction. Life Partners will also
      pay certain capitalized costs, including attorney and investment banking fees
      relating to the establishment of the
limited
      partnership
.
We
      believe the arrangement will provide attractive returns on invested capital
      over
      the long-term, most of which we expect during a four- to eight-year period,
      although some returns may
be
      realized sooner and some may
require more time. The arrangement also
      expands our institutional market
significantly
,
      which we believe is important for future growth.
For
      our
      10% interest and promotional interest, we
shall invest $5.0 million of
      the $50.0 million,
which
      the
      limited partnership intends to invest in the purchase of life
      settlements.
We will also pay our share of the premium maintenance costs,
      which is estimated at not more than $600,000 per year. The limited partnership
      is expected to account for its investment at fair value, based on recent actions
      by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (proposed FSP 85-4-a pending).
      The
      new accounting method would allow the limited partnership - and by extension,
      us
      - to record the life settlements at their cost. Premium maintenance costs are
      added to value of the life settlements. The parties anticipate they may
      undertake similar future arrangements if this initial arrangement is successful.
While
      obtaining these life settlement policies for the limited partnership increases
      administrative responsibilities, we have made prior investments in
      infrastructure and software in order to accommodate the increase in business.
      We
      do not anticipate that the limited partnership will greatly affect our typical
      retail viatical and other life settlement investors. We also believe that the
      supply of potential life settlements is sufficient and growing as awareness
      of
      the benefits of life settlement transactions grows. We believe our personnel,
      infrastructure and internal procedures are capable of handling the increased
      workload without significant adjustments or increases in administrative
      expenses.
