Life Partners Holdings Announces Singular Research BUY Rating

WACO, Texas--(Business Wire)--
Life Partners Holdings, Inc. (LPHI) announces that Singular Research, an
independent research firm for small-to-micro cap companies has initiated
coverage on LPHI with a BUY rating. The leading life settlement company provides
immediate payouts to holders of unneeded life insurance policies and
uncorrelated growth to investors.

Life Partners Holdings (LPHI)

Life Partners Holdings, Inc. (LPHI) engages in the secondary market for life
insurance known as life settlements, which involves the purchase of previously
issued life insurance policies at a discount to their face amount. LPHI acts as
an agent for buyers and engages in the purchase of life settlements for its own
investment purposes.

RESEARCH REPORT HIGHLIGHTS

* The life settlement industry is expected to grow more than 15% annually over
the next five years and LPHI may continue to gain market share.
* LPHI’s business model does not require leverage to grow and is expected to
generate strong cash flow.
* Life settlements generate high returns that are neither economically sensitive
nor correlated to other financial markets or commodity markets.
* Given strong market growth, increasing market share and exceptional financial
performance, we believe LPHI to be meaningfully undervalued and expect it to
outperform the market averages over the next 12 -18 months.

RISKS

* LPHI's growth depends on growth in the life settlement market, which can be
affected by government regulation and negative publicity about the market, among
other factors.
* LPHI's success depends on referral networks that include brokers and financial
professionals who refer potential sellers and purchasers of life settlements.
During fiscal 2008, four brokers accounted for 81% of the total face amount of
policies LPHI purchased.
* Purchasers of life settlements depend on LPHI's ability to predict life
expectancies and set appropriate prices, which affects investment returns. If
investment returns are not competitive, LPHI could lose purchasers.
