WASHINGTON--(Business Wire)--
Fasano Associates announced their development of new mortality
tables for the over-65 life settlement market at the BVZL sponsored
Life Settlement Conference held in Frankfurt, Germany on February
20th.

   Fasano will apply multiple mortality tables that will be a
function of the overall mortality rating of the individual being
reviewed.

   Said Mike Fasano, President of Fasano Associates, "We have
undertaken extensive research on mortality in the over-65 market,
which shows distinct mortality patterns that vary by the severity, or
mortality rating, of the individual's health condition. These are
groundbreaking findings that will allow us to further refine our
estimates of life expectancy."

   Fasano's estimates of life expectancy already are among the most
accurate in the business, with two successive independent actuarial
studies establishing a 96% Actual to Expected accuracy ratio for
Fasano's life expectancy estimates.

   "This will not only help in developing even more accurate life
expectancy estimates, but in better predicting the pattern of
mortality over time."
