LIFE PARTNERS POSITION HOLDER TRUST [Member] | |
Note 1 - Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 1 - Operations and Significant Accounting Policies Operations Life Partners Position Holder Trust (the “Trust”) was created on December 9, 2016, pursuant to the Revised Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Life Partners Holdings, Inc., et al. In connection with its formation and the inception of its activities on December 9, 2016, the Trust issued a total of 1,012,355,948 units of beneficial interest (the “Units”) to the fractional interest holders having claims in the Debtors bankruptcy, pursuant to the Plan. Each fractional interest holder received a Unit for each dollar of expected death benefit such holder contributed to the Trust. As of December 31, 2021, there were 6,454 holders of the 1,236,955,963 Units outstanding. As of December 31, 2020, there were 6,497 holders of the 1,226,958,714 Units outstanding. The Trust owns a portfolio of life insurance policies. A portion of the policies is encumbered by the economic interest of continuing fractional interest holders. As of December 31, 2021, the Trust’s portion of the portfolio consists of 2,493 life insurance policies, with a fair value of $190.3 million and an aggregate face value of approximately $0.9 billion. As of December 31, 2020, the Trust’s portion of the portfolio consists of 2,739 life insurance policies, with a fair value of $159.2 million and an aggregate face value of approximately $1.0 billion. The fair value of the interests in the life insurance policies owned by continuing fractional interest holders are not reflected in the financial statements of the Trust. Description of Securities Units represent beneficial interests in the Trust, and all holders of Units are entitled to receive cash distributions from the Trust in accordance with their respective pro rata shares. A Trust beneficiary’s respective ‘‘Pro Rata Share’’ means the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of (i) the number of Units which such Trust Beneficiary is the registered owner, to (ii) the total number of Units outstanding as of the measurement date, subject to modification for purposes of distributing any recovered assets. Under the Plan, the Trustee will distribute at least annually to the Unit holders all of the distributable cash (as defined in the Position Holder Trust Agreement) generated during each calendar year, subject to any reserve established by the Trustee reasonably necessary to maintain the value of the Trust’s assets or to meet claims and contingent liabilities. All distributions by the Trust will be made in accordance with such holder’s Pro Rata share of the outstanding Units. Covid-19 Pandemic Update The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has not had a material adverse effect on the Trust’s operations during the year ending December 31, 2021. The extent to which the Trust will be impacted by the outbreak will largely depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the outbreak and actions by government authorities to contain the outbreak or treat its impact, among other things. COVID-19 has not impacted the Trust’s ability to realize maturity receivables and pay its premium obligations or other expenses. The Trust will continue to monitor the impact of risk associated with mortality experience, default on future premium obligations by the continuing fractional holders which would increase the Trust’s premium obligations and any risk associated with default on payment obligations by the insurance policy carriers. As of December 31, 2021, management has not made a determination as to how COVID-19 has impacted the Trusts mortality figures and there remains uncertainty if or how much future mortality might be impacted by the pandemic. Unit Redemption On September 16, 2020, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas approved the Trustee’s Motion to Approve Redemption of Additional Units and Member Interests, granting the Trustee the authority to redeem Trust Units in the Life Partners Position Holder Trust and Member Interests in the Life Partners IRA Holder Partnership, LLC, at the discretion of the Trustee and Manager, when financially or administratively practicable. The Trust redeemed 1,846,542 units for $0.5 million for the year ending December 31, 2021. The Trust redeemed 20,011,309 units for $3.7 million for the year ending December 31, 2020. Included in the redemption in 2021, the Trust redeemed 1,156,938 units for $0.2 million held by the Life Partners Creditors’ Trust. Included in the redemption in 2020, the Trust redeemed 6,526,269 units for $1.2 million held by the Life Partners Creditors’ Trust. The Life Partners Position Holder Trust and the Life Partners Creditors’ Trust share the same Trust Governing Board. The redemption was executed to reduce the administrative burden of the Life Partners Position Holder Trust and to facilitate the expected termination of the Life Partners Creditor’s Trust. The units were redeemed at the same price per unit as all other redemptions performed at the same or similar time and in line with the Motion approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the North District of Texas. Transition of Securities Intermediary Upon the formation of the Trust, and pursuant to a Securities and Deposit Accounts Agreement and Securities and Deposit Accounts Control Agreement, Advanced Trust and Life Escrow Services LTA (“ATLES”), was designated by the Trust to serve as securities intermediary and depository for the Policies. In August 2021, in order to provide for administrative efficiency and to position the Policies for eventual disposition, the Trust formed two entities, PHT Holding I, LLC and PHT Holding II, LLC (the “PHT Holding Entities”), to replace ATLES. The Trust holds 100 percent of the outstanding membership units of the PHT Holding Entities. In 2022 upon the completion of the transfers of the Policies, the PHT Holding Entities will maintain custody and control of the Policies and related deposit accounts pending disbursement of Policy proceeds upon maturity in accordance with instructions provided to it by the Trustee. PHT Holding I, LLC will be the owner for Life Settlement policies and PHT Holding II, LLC will be the owner for Viatical policies. As a part of the transfer of the Policies to the PHT Holding Entities, the Trust entered into an amendment of its Servicing Agreement with Northstar Capital Management, LLC (“Northstar”), and also entered into a Policy and Administration Agent Agreement with Northstar. Under these agreements, Northstar was engaged to complete the beneficiary and ownership transfer of the Policies, to obtain new third-party authorizations for the administration of the Policies, and to act as the PHT entities’ premium and maturity relay agent. As compensation for its services under the amended Servicing Agreement, Northstar received an additional payment in the amount of $1,000 per each policy for which the transfer to the PHT Holding Entities is completed. As compensation under the Policy and Administration Agent Agreement, Northstar receives the fixed sum of $5,000 per month, beginning upon the commencement of its services on August 17, 2021. The Trustee believes that the fees paid to Northstar are reasonable and customary, will result in overall cost savings and operational efficiency for the Trust, and will additionally provide flexibility in its ability to administer the Trust assets. Distribution The Trust paid $45.0 million and 30.0 million of distributions, of which approximately $26.9 million and $18.0 million was paid to the IRA Partnership for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The distribution was based on the number of Units held and deducting any unit holder obligations for unpaid premiums. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The Trust’s primary purpose is the liquidation of the Trust’s assets and the distribution of proceeds to its beneficial interest holders. The Trust expects that fulfilling its purpose will require a significant amount of time, and that the Trust will have significant ongoing operations during that period due to the nature of its assets and its plan to maximize the proceeds to its beneficiaries by maintaining the majority of its life insurance policies until maturity. As a result, the Trust has concluded that its liquidation is not imminent, in accordance with the definitions under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and has not applied the liquidation basis of accounting in presenting its consolidated financial statements. The Trust will continue to evaluate its operations to determine when its liquidation becomes imminent and the liquidation basis of accounting is required. Basis of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements of Life Partners Position Holders Trust include the accounts of the Life Partners Position Holders Trust and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Investments in Life Insurance Policies The Trust accounts for its interests in life insurance policies at fair value in accordance with ASC 325-30, Investments in Insurance Contracts Fair Value of Life Insurance Policies The Trust follows ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures As a basis for considering such assumptions, the guidance establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. Level 1 relates to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 relates to observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. Level 3 relates to unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Trust’s investments in life insurance policies are considered to be Level 3 as there is currently no active market where the Trust is able to observe quoted prices for identical assets and the Trust’s valuation model incorporates significant inputs that are not observable. The Trust’s valuation of life insurance policies is a critical estimate within the consolidated financial statements. The Trust currently uses a probabilistic method of valuing life insurance policies, which the Trust believes to be the preferred valuation method in its industry. The Trust calculates the assets’ fair value using a present value technique to estimate the fair value of the projected future cash flows. The most significant assumptions in estimating the fair value are the Trust’s estimate of the insureds’ life expectancy and the discount rate. See Note 6, “Fair Value Measurements”. Income Recognition The Trust’s investments in life insurance policies are its primary source of income. Gain or loss is recognized from ongoing changes in the portfolio’s estimated fair value, including any gains or losses at maturity. Gains or losses from maturities are recognized at receipt of a death notice or verified obituary for an insured party and determined based on the difference between the death benefit and the estimated fair value of the policy at maturity. Premiums Receivable The Trust assumed the Debtors’ receivables related to life insurance policy premiums and service fees that were paid by the Debtors on behalf of fractional interest holders prior to the Trust’s effective date. After December 9, 2016, the policy premiums allocable to continuing fractional interest holders are those persons’ obligations and not the Trust. If a continuing fractional interest holder defaults on future premium obligations, such position is deemed contributed to the Trust in exchange for the number of Units provided by the Plan, as previously modified by the Bankruptcy Court. The Trust maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability to collect premiums and service fees receivable. Such estimates are based on the position holder’s payment history and other indications of potential uncollectability. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, receivables are written off against the allowance. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, and fully offset for receivables assumed from the Debtors on the effective date. Outstanding receivable balances may be recoverable pursuant to the Trustee’s set-off rights under the Plan. Maturities Receivable Maturities receivable consist of the Trust’s portion of life insurance policy maturities that occurred, but payment was not received as of the end of the reporting period. Premium Liability Premium liabilities are funds in escrow on behalf of continuing fractional holders for future payment of their premium obligations. If such funds are not used for such continuing fractional holder’s premium payments, they are refunded to the respective continuing fractional holder. Maturity Liability Maturity liabilities are maturities collected on behalf of continuing fractional holders pending payment to those fractional holders, including reserve for unallocated funds from the inception of Trust. Distributions Payable Distributions payable are distributions declared by the Trust pending payment to Unit holders. Income Taxes No provision for state or Federal income taxes has been made as the liability for such taxes is attributable to the Unit holders rather than the Trust. The Trust is a grantor trust with taxable income or loss passing through to the Unit holders. In certain instances, however, the Trust may be required under applicable state laws to remit directly to state tax authorities amounts otherwise due to Unit holders. Such payments on behalf of the Unit holders are deemed distributions of them. The Financial Accounting Standards Board has provided guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, disclosed, and presented in the consolidated financial statements. This requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Trust’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained when challenged or when examined by the applicable taxing authority. The Trust has no material uncertain income tax positions as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. Use of Estimates The preparation of these consolidated financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), requires the Trust to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates and such differences could be material. The estimates related to the valuation of the life insurance policies represent significant estimates made by the Trust. Risks and Uncertainties The Trust encounters economic, legal, and longevity risk. The main components of economic risk potentially impacting the Trust are market risk, concentration of credit risk, and the increasing cost of insurance risk. The Trust’s market risks include interest rate risk and the risk of declines in valuation of the Trust’s life insurance policies, including declines caused by the selection of increased discount rates associated with the Trust’s fair value model. It is reasonably possible that future changes to estimates involved in valuing life insurance policies could change and materially affect future consolidated financial statements. Concentration of credit risk is the risk that an insurance carrier who has issued life insurance policies held by the Trust, does not remit the amount due under those policies due to the carrier’s deteriorating financial condition or otherwise. Another credit risk potentially impacting the Trust is the risk continuing fractional holders may default on their future premium obligations, increasing the Trust’s premium obligations. The increasing cost of insurance risk includes the carriers’ attempts to change a policy’s cost of insurance. While some cost of insurance increases are anticipated and taken into consideration in the Trust’s forecasts, other cost of insurance increases are unilaterally imposed by the carrier. The main components of legal risk are: (i) the risk that an insurer could successfully challenge its obligation to pay policy benefits at maturity; and (ii) that an insured’s family could successfully challenge the Trust’s entitlement to an insurance policy’s benefits. In either case, there is also risk that the Trust would be unable to recover the premiums it paid towards the insurance policy. Longevity risk refers to the reasonable possibility that actual mortalities of insureds in the Trust’s portfolio extend over longer periods than are anticipated, resulting in the Trust paying more in premiums and delaying its collection of death benefits. Further, increased longevity may encourage additional continuing fractional holders to default on their premium obligations, increasing the Trust’s positions and its premium payment burden. The Trust management continues to evaluate any potential impact; however, such future revisions could have a material impact on the valuation. The Trust maintains the majority of its cash and cash equivalents in several accounts with a commercial bank. Balances on deposit are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). However, from time to time the Trust’s balances may exceed the FDIC insurable amounts as such in those cases the cash and cash equivalents are not insured. Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance (ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Notable amendments in this update will change the accounting for impairment of most financial assets and certain other instruments in the following ways: · financial assets (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost will be required to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, with an allowance for credit losses deducted from the amortized cost basis, resulting in a net carrying value that reflects the amount the entity expects to collect on the financial asset at purchase · credit losses relating to available-for-sale fixed maturity securities will be recorded through an allowance for credit losses, rather than reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. The allowance methodology recognizes that value may be realized either through collection of contractual cash flows or through the sale of the security. Therefore, the amount of the allowance for credit losses will be limited to the amount by which fair value is below amortized cost because the classification as available for sale is premised on an investment strategy that recognizes that the investment could be sold at fair value, if cash collection would result in the realization of an amount less than fair value · the income statement will reflect the measurement of expected credit losses for newly recognized financial assets as well as the expected increases or decreases (including the reversal of previously recognized losses) of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount · disclosures will be required to include information around how the credit loss allowance was developed, further details on information currently disclosed about credit quality of financing receivables and net investments in leases, and a rollforward of the allowance for credit losses for available-for-sale fixed maturity securities as well as an aging analysis for securities that are past due The amendments in this ASU may be early adopted during any interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2018. The Trust is currently evaluating the impact of this new accounting guidance on its financial statements and does not plan to early adopt. |

Note 2 - Commitments and Contingencies | Note 2 - Commitments and Contingencies Litigation In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Trust establishes an accrued liability for litigation and regulatory matters when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and estimable. In such cases, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts accrued. When a loss contingency is not both probable and estimable, the Trust does not establish an accrued liability. As a litigation or regulatory matter develops, the Trust, in conjunction with any outside counsel handling the matter, evaluates on an ongoing basis whether such matter presents a loss contingency that is probable and estimable. Such matters will continue to be monitored for further developments. Indemnification of Certain Persons Under certain circumstances, the Trust may be required to indemnify certain persons performing services on behalf of the Trust for liability they may incur arising out of the indemnified persons’ activities conducted on behalf of the Trust. There is no limitation on the maximum potential payments under these indemnification obligations, and, due to the number and variety of events and circumstances under which these indemnification obligations could arise, the Trust is not able to estimate such maximum potential payments. The Trust has not made any payments under such indemnification obligations, and no amount has been accrued in the accompanying financial statements for these indemnification obligations of the Trust. The Trust maintains insurance to mitigate its exposure to this contingency risk. |

Note 4 - Life Insurance Policies | Note 4 - Life Insurance Policies As of December 31, 2021, the Trust owns an interest in 2,493 policies of which 356 are life settlement policies and 2,137 are viaticals. As of December 31, 2020, the Trust owns an interest in 2,739 policies of which 407 are life settlement policies and 2,332 are viaticals (the “PHT Portfolio”). The PHT Portfolio’s aggregate face value is $0.9 billion as of December 31, 2021 of which $0.7 billion is attributable to life settlements and $0.2 billion is attributable to viaticals. The PHT Portfolio’s aggregate face value is $1.0 billion as of December 31, 2020 of which $0.8 billion is attributable to life settlements and $0.2 billion is attributable to viaticals. The PHT Portfolio’s aggregate fair value is $190.3 million as of December 31, 2021 of which $180.6 million is attributable to life settlements and $9.7 million is attributable to viaticals. The PHT Portfolio’s aggregate fair value is $159.2 million as of December 31, 2020 of which $153.7 million is attributable to life settlements and $5.5 million is attributable to viaticals. Life expectancy reflects the probable number of years remaining in the life of a class of persons determined statistically, affected by such factors as heredity, physical condition, nutrition, and occupation. It is not an estimate or an indication of the actual expected maturity date or indication of the timing of expected cash flows from death benefits. See “Life Insurance policies,” in Note 6, “Fair Value Measurements”. The following table summarizes the Trust’s life insurance policies grouped by remaining life expectancy as of: As of December 31, 2021: Remaining Life Expectancy (Years) Number of Life Insurance Policies Face Value Fair Value 0-1 — $ — $ — 1-2 1 3,298 2,681 2-3 3 2,052,445 994,282 3-4 86 138,284,017 42,512,877 4-5 190 421,616,744 109,869,222 Thereafter 2,213 334,851,375 36,945,170 Total 2,493 $ 896,807,879 $ 190,324,232 As of December 31, 2020: Remaining Life Expectancy (Years) Number of Life Insurance Policies Face Value Fair Value 0-1 — $ — $ — 1-2 1 46,395 34,398 2-3 6 7,221,086 2,249,751 3-4 93 154,462,044 37,115,382 4-5 200 426,793,251 84,401,748 Thereafter 2,439 408,906,636 35,378,633 Total 2,739 $ 997,429,412 $ 159,179,912 Estimated premiums to be paid by the Trust for its portfolio during each of the five succeeding fiscal years and thereafter as of December 31, 2021, are as follows: 2022 $ 64,039,227 2023 60,185,453 2024 52,423,714 2025 44,408,673 2026 37,298,929 Thereafter 131,435,391 Total $ 389,791,387 The amount of $389.8 million represents the estimated total future premiums payable by the Trust. The Trust is required to pay its portion to keep the life insurance policies in force during the life expectancies of all the underlying insured lives. The estimated total future premium payments could increase or decrease significantly to the extent that insurance carriers increase the cost of insurance on their issued policies or that actual mortalities of insureds differ from the estimated life expectancies. If the continuing fractional holders default on their future premium obligations, the Trust’s premium liability may increase. The Plan requires that the continuing fractional holders pay premium calls within 60 days of the day the Trust sends an invoice. The failure of a continuing fractional holder to timely pay a premium call on a position results in a premium default with respect to that position. The Trust anticipates funding the estimated premium payments from maturities of life insurance policies. It also maintains premium reserves and access to lines of credit. |

Note 5 - Notes Payable | Note 5 - Notes Payable Effective January 30, 2019, the Trust had a $15 million revolving credit facility with Veritex Community Bank of Dallas, Texas (Veritex Credit Facility), with an initial 2-year term and interest at 6%. Effective January 29, 2021, the Trust renewed the revolving credit facility for an additional 2-year term. As part of the renewal, the revolving credit facility was increased to $25.0 million and shall bear interest at the rate of 5% per annum. The Veritex Credit Facility will continue to be secured by a lien on the Position Holder Trust’s assets. There are no amounts outstanding as of December 31. 2021 and December 31, 2020. In accordance with the Plan, the Trust issued New IRA Notes of $35.9 million in exchange for claims against the Debtor’s estate and the incidental interests in life insurance policies. Those policies collateralize the Trust’s obligations under the notes. Interest accrues at 3% of outstanding balance and is paid annually in December. Principal is due in full on December 9, 2031. In accordance with the New IRA Notes, beginning in December 2017, the Trust is required to make annual payments to a sinking fund for the principal payment due at maturity. Such fund is included in restricted cash on the accompanying balance sheet. For the year ending December 31, 2021, the Trust redeemed in full all New IRA Notes having an outstanding balance of $56,000 or less. The amount paid in connection with the redemption was $9.6 million and only funds set aside in a sinking fund established pursuant to the Bankruptcy Plan for that purpose was used. Accrued interest on all New IRA Notes through the redemption dates was paid as well. For the year ending December 31, 2020, the Trust did a partial redemption of all remaining notes equal to 1/15 th As of December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the outstanding balances of the New IRA notes was $6.5 million and $16.1 million, respectively.

Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements | Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements The Trust carries its life insurance policies at fair value. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are classified based on the following fair value hierarchy: Level 1 — Valuation is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that are accessible at the reporting date. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment. Level 2 — Valuation is determined from pricing inputs that are other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Observable inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 — Valuation is based on inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. Level 3 inputs include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the financial instrument. The inputs into the determination of fair value generally require significant management judgment or estimation. The balances of the Trust’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, are as follows: As of December 31, 2021 As of December 31, 2020 Assets: Investments in Life Insurance Policies Level 1 $ — $ — Level 2 $ — $ — Level 3 $ 190,324,232 $ 159,179,912 Total Fair Value $ 190,324,232 $ 159,179,912 Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements Life insurance policies December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Fair Value $ 190,324,232 $ 159,179,912 Face Value $ 896,807,879 $ 997,429,412 Valuation Techniques Discounted cash flow Discounted cash flow Unobservable Inputs Discount rate, Mortality assumptions Discount rate, Mortality assumptions Weighted average discount rates: Life settlements 15.0 % 26.7 % Viaticals 20.0 % 27.3 % Mortality assumptions - 2015 VBT mortality multipliers: Life settlements 85% - 90 % 90% - 100 % Viaticals 350 % 350 % In assessing and determining the PHT Portfolio’s valuation, the Position Holder Trust has retained Lewis & Ellis, Inc. as its principal actuaries. The following is a summary of the methodology used to estimate the PHT Portfolio’s fair value measured on a recurring basis and within the above fair value hierarchy. The overall methodology did not change during the current or prior year. The PHT Portfolio’s value was estimated using an actuarially based approach incorporating net cash flows and life expectancies as determined by a default mortality multiplier based on the 2015 Valuation Basic Table produced by the U.S. Society of Actuaries (“VBT”) as opposed to specific life expectancies of insureds as the mortality multipliers from the VBT Ultimate table provide more accurate longevity projections across the portfolio. A default mortality multiplier for each insured was used to project the PHT Portfolio’s present value of net cash flows (death benefits less premium payments and servicing company compensation). As of December 31, 2021, the default mortality multipliers used are 90% for the life settlement males, 85% for the life settlement females, and 350% for the viaticals regardless of gender. As of December 31, 2020, the default mortality multipliers used are 100% for the life settlement males, 90% for the life settlement females, and 350% for the viaticals regardless of gender. On a quarterly basis, the Trust compares actual mortalities to expected mortalities to refine its analysis. The Trust compares actual to expected mortalities to evaluate and refines the mortality multipliers; such that they reasonably “validate” based on the Trust’s analysis of trends. The Trust continually evaluates and updates its forecasts of future premium obligations for individual policies. The Trust considers these potential changes to estimated future cash flows in its consideration of the discount rate. The monthly net cash flows with interest and survivorship were discounted to arrive at the PHT Portfolio’s estimated value as of December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020. Future changes in the longevity estimates and estimated cash flows could have a material effect on the PHT Portfolio’s fair value, and the Trust’s financial condition and results of operations. Life Expectancy Sensitivity Analysis Life expectancy estimates are a significant input in the fair value determination. Future changes in the life expectancy estimates could have a material effect on the Portfolio’s fair value, which could have a material effect on its financial condition and results of operations. The tables below reflect the effect on the PHT Portfolio’s fair value if the actual life expectancy experienced is 5% less or 5% more than is currently estimated. If the life expectancy estimates increase by 5% or decrease by 5%, the change in estimated fair value of the life insurance policies would be as follows: As of December 31, 2021, Life Expectancy Months Adjustment Average Life Expectancy Fair Value Change in Fair Value -5% $ 205,107,243 $ 14,783,011 No change 4.8 years $ 190,324,232 — +5% $ 174,841,781 $ (15,482,451) As of December 31, 2020, Life Expectancy Months Adjustment Average Life Expectancy Fair Value Change in Fair Value -5% $ 173,516,265 $ 14,336,353 No change 4.7 years $ 159,179,912 — +5% $ 144,277,667 $ (14,902,245) Discount Rate The discount rate is another significant input in the fair value determination. The Trust’s estimate incorporates market factors, the size of the portfolio, and various policy specific quantitative and qualitative factors including known information about the underlying insurance policy, its economics, the insured and the insurer. The effect of changes in the weighted average discount rate on the death benefit and premiums used to estimate the PHT Portfolio’s fair value has been analyzed. If the weighted average discount rate increased or decreased by 2 percent and the other assumptions used to estimate fair value remained the same, the change in estimated fair value would be as follows: As of December 31, 2021, Rate Adjustment Fair Value Change in Fair Value +2% $ 176,945,811 $ (13,378,421) No change $ 190,324,232 — -2% $ 205,683,115 $ 15,358,883 As of December 31, 2020, Rate Adjustment Fair Value Change in Fair Value +2% $ 151,012,859 $ (8,167,053) No change $ 159,179,912 — -2% $ 168,255,950 $ 9,076,038 Future changes in the discount rates used by the Trust to value life insurance policies could have a material effect on the fair value of the Portfolio, which could have a material adverse effect on the Trust’s financial condition and results of operations. The Trust re-evaluates its discount rates at the end of every reporting period in order to estimate the discount rates that could reasonably be used by market participants in a transaction involving the Trust’s life insurance policies. In doing so, the Trust engages third party consultants to corroborate its assessment, engages in discussions with other market participants and extrapolates the discount rate underlying actual sales of insurance policies. In the first quarter of 2021, the Trust’s actuarial firm, Lewis and Ellis, modified the discount rate used to value the portfolio. This change had a material impact on the fair value of the Trust’s portfolio. These changes were made as a result of i) The full on-boarding by NorthStar of the Trust’s portfolio, which produced more clarity into premium streams, the Trust’s ability to track insureds and thus deaths. ii) The majority of premium streams have been fully optimized. This not only improves clarity into the Trust’s payment obligations, it also resulted in cost savings for the Trust. iii) The importance of having specific LEs for the senior life settlement portion of the portfolio has been diminished by the fact that the average age of the insureds has now surpassed the age of 90, and iv) the Trust has now exited bankruptcy which increases the marketability of the Trust’s portfolio. Credit Exposure to Insurance Companies The following table provides information about the life insurance issuer concentrations that exceed 10% of total death benefit or 10% of total fair value of the Trust’s life insurance policies as of December 31, 2021: Carrier Percentage of Face Value Percentage of Fair Value Carrier Rating Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company 9.2 % 12.0 % A John Hancock Life Insurance Company 7.3 % 10.7 % A+ The following table provides information about the life insurance issuer concentrations that exceed 10% of total death benefit or 10% of total fair value of the Trust’s life insurance policies as of December 31, 2020: Carrier Percentage of Face Value Percentage of Fair Value Carrier Rating Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company 10.2 % 13.5 % A The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company 10.0 % 11.5 % A+ Changes in Fair Value The following table provides a roll-forward of the fair value of life insurance policies for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020: 2021 2020 Balance at January 1, $ 159,179,912 $ 172,242,734 Realized gain on matured policies 87,067,964 116,516,353 Unrealized loss on policies held (2,090,621 ) (48,860,066 ) Change in estimated fair value 84,977,343 67,656,287 Matured policies, net of fees (117,225,608 ) (143,525,300 ) Premiums paid 63,392,585 62,806,191 Balance at December 31, $ 190,324,232 $ 159,179,912 Other Fair Value Considerations— All assets and liabilities except for the life insurance policies, which includes cash, maturities and premium receivable, notes payable and premium and maturity liability, are accounted for at their carrying value which approximates fair value. |

Note 1 - Operations | Note 1 - Operations The Life Partners IRA Holder Partnership, LLC (“IRA Partnership” or “Partnership”) was created on December 9, 2016, pursuant to the Revised Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Life Partners Holdings, Inc., et al. In connection with its formation and the inception of its activities on December 9, 2016, the Partnership issued limited liability company interests (“Member Interests”) in satisfaction of claims against the Debtors. The only assets of the Partnership are beneficial interest units of the Life Partners Position Holder Trust (the “Position Holder Trust” or “Trust”). The Partnership held 736,885,944 and 737,912,834 units as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, of the Trust’s outstanding units totaling 1,236,955,963 and 1,226,958,714 as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The sole purpose of the Partnership is to hold Trust interests to permit holders of Member Interests to participate in distributions of the proceeds of the liquidation of the Trust. The Partnership was created to allow IRA Holders to hold an interest in an entity classified as a partnership for federal tax purposes, rather than the assets of a grantor trust, such as the Position Holder Trust. The Partnership’s sole asset is its investment in the Trust and it engages in no other business activity. The Bankruptcy Court organized the Trust and the Partnership in order to liquidate the assets of the Debtors in a manner calculated to conserve, protect and maximize the value of the assets, and to distribute the proceeds thereof to the Trust’s securities holders in accordance with the Plan. The Trust and IRA Partnership have no other business interests nor operations and will not acquire any additional life insurance policies in the future. The Trust’s beginning assets and liabilities were contributed pursuant to the Plan as of December 9, 2016. Covid-19 Pandemic Update The Partnership’s only investment is in the Life Partners Position Holder’s Trust. As such, the Partnership’s income is largely dependent on the Trust’s operations and the Partnership would be significantly impacted by any adverse effects of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on the Trust’s operations. The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has not had a material adverse effect on the Trust’s operations during the year ending December 31, 2021. The extent to which the Trust will be impacted by the outbreak will largely depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the outbreak and actions by government authorities to contain the outbreak or treat its impact, among other things. COVID-19 has not impacted the Trust’s ability to realize maturity receivables and pay its premium obligations or other expenses. The Trust will continue to monitor the impact of risk associated with mortality experience, default on future premium obligations by the continuing fractional holders which would increase the Trust’s premium obligations and any risk associated with default on payment obligations by the insurance policy carriers. As of December 31, 2021, management has not made a determination as to how COVID-19 has impacted the Trusts mortality figures and there remains uncertainty if or how much future mortality might be impacted by the pandemic. Member Interest Redemption On September 16, 2020, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas approved the Trustee’s Motion to Approve Redemption of Additional Units and Member Interests, granting the Trustee the authority to redeem Trust Units in the Life Partners Position Holder Trust and Member Interests in the Life Partners IRA Holder Partnership, LLC, at the discretion of the Trustee and Manager, when financially or administratively practicable. The Partnership redeemed 937,269 and 7,231,667 Member Interests for $0.2 million and $1.4 million for the years ending December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Included in the redemptions, the Partnership redeemed 627,686 and 4,826,966 Member Interests for $0.1 million and $0.9 million from the Life Partners Creditors’ Trust in 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Partnership and the Life Partners Creditors’ Trust have common governing board members. The redemption was executed to reduce the administrative burden of the Partnership and to facilitate the expected termination of the Life Partners Creditor’s Trust. The Interests were redeemed at the same price per Interest as all other redemptions performed at the same or similar time and in accordance with the Motion approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the North District of Texas. Distributions The Trust paid $45.0 million and 30.0 million of distributions, of which approximately $26.9 million and $18.0 million was paid to the IRA Partnership for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The distribution was based on the number of Units held and deducting any unit holder obligations for unpaid premiums. |

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies Equity Method Accounting The Partnership accounts for its investment in the PHT using the equity method of its share of earnings or loss less distributions received. The Partnership and the Trust are closely connected, with a common trustee and common management. As a result of this common oversight and control, as well as the Partnership’s position as the majority holder of the Trust’s beneficial interest units, the Partnership is considered to have significant influence under the provisions of ASC 323, resulting in the application by the Partnership of the equity method of accounting. Earnings attributable to the Partnership’s interests in the Trust and recognized under the equity method represented approximately $44.5 million at December 31, 2021 and $34.0 million at December 31, 2020. The following table presents summarized Trust financial data: Balance Sheet Data: December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Life insurance policies $ 190,324,232 $ 159,179,912 All other assets 118,603,800 135,156,538 Total Assets $ 308,928,032 $ 294,336,450 Total Liabilities $ 39,567,412 $ 56,433,312 Net Assets $ 269,360,620 $ 237,903,138 Income Statement Data: December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Change in the fair value of life insurance policies $ 84,977,343 $ 67,656,287 Other income 2,131,704 608,269 Total income $ 87,109,047 $ 68,264,556 Total expenses $ 10,171,999 $ 9,417,789 Net increase in net assets resulting from operations $ 76,937,048 $ 58,846,767 Distributions Payable Distributions payable are distributions declared by the IRA Partnership pending payment. Due to Life Partners Position Holders Trust The Partnership does not have its own cash accounts, and its operating expenses and distributions to its Unit holders are paid on behalf of the Partnership by the Trust. The Partnership settles its liabilities to the Trust through reduction of the funds it receives from distributions made by the Trust. Income Taxes No provision for state or Federal income taxes has been made as the liability for such taxes is attributable to the members rather than the Partnership. The Partnership is a limited liability company with taxable income or loss passing through to the members. In certain instances, however, the Partnership may be required under applicable state laws to remit directly to state tax authorities amounts otherwise due by members. Such payments on behalf of the members are deemed distributions to them. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) has provided guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, disclosed, and presented in the financial statements. This requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Partnership’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained when challenged or when examined by the applicable taxing authority. The Partnership has no material uncertain income tax positions as of December 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020. Use of Estimates The preparation of these financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), requires the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates and such differences could be material. Risks and Uncertainties The Partnership, due to the nature of its assets and operations, is subject to significant risks and uncertainties affecting the Trust which encounters economic risk. The two main components of economic risk potentially impacting the Partnership’s interest in the Trust are market risk and concentration of credit risk. Market risks include interest rate risk and the risk of declines in valuation of the Trust’s life insurance policies, including declines caused by the selection of increased discount rates associated with the Trust’s fair value model. Concentration of credit risk is the risk that an insurance carrier who has issued life insurance policies held by the Trust, does not remit the amount due under those policies due to the deteriorating financial condition of the carrier or otherwise. It is reasonably possible that future changes to estimates involved in valuing the Trust’s life insurance policies could change and result in material effects on the Partnership’s financial position and results of operation. |
Operations and Summary of Sig_2
Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) - LIFE PARTNERS POSITION HOLDER TRUST [Member] | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2021 | |
Basis of Presentation | The Trust’s primary purpose is the liquidation of the Trust’s assets and the distribution of proceeds to its beneficial interest holders. The Trust expects that fulfilling its purpose will require a significant amount of time, and that the Trust will have significant ongoing operations during that period due to the nature of its assets and its plan to maximize the proceeds to its beneficiaries by maintaining the majority of its life insurance policies until maturity. As a result, the Trust has concluded that its liquidation is not imminent, in accordance with the definitions under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and has not applied the liquidation basis of accounting in presenting its consolidated financial statements. The Trust will continue to evaluate its operations to determine when its liquidation becomes imminent and the liquidation basis of accounting is required. |
Basis of Consolidation | The consolidated financial statements of Life Partners Position Holders Trust include the accounts of the Life Partners Position Holders Trust and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. |
Investments in Life Insurance Policies | The Trust accounts for its interests in life insurance policies at fair value in accordance with ASC 325-30, Investments in Insurance Contracts |
Fair Value of Life Insurance Policies | The Trust follows ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures As a basis for considering such assumptions, the guidance establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. Level 1 relates to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 relates to observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. Level 3 relates to unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Trust’s investments in life insurance policies are considered to be Level 3 as there is currently no active market where the Trust is able to observe quoted prices for identical assets and the Trust’s valuation model incorporates significant inputs that are not observable. The Trust’s valuation of life insurance policies is a critical estimate within the consolidated financial statements. The Trust currently uses a probabilistic method of valuing life insurance policies, which the Trust believes to be the preferred valuation method in its industry. The Trust calculates the assets’ fair value using a present value technique to estimate the fair value of the projected future cash flows. The most significant assumptions in estimating the fair value are the Trust’s estimate of the insureds’ life expectancy and the discount rate. See Note 6, “Fair Value Measurements”. |
Income Recognition | The Trust’s investments in life insurance policies are its primary source of income. Gain or loss is recognized from ongoing changes in the portfolio’s estimated fair value, including any gains or losses at maturity. Gains or losses from maturities are recognized at receipt of a death notice or verified obituary for an insured party and determined based on the difference between the death benefit and the estimated fair value of the policy at maturity. |
Premiums Receivable | The Trust assumed the Debtors’ receivables related to life insurance policy premiums and service fees that were paid by the Debtors on behalf of fractional interest holders prior to the Trust’s effective date. After December 9, 2016, the policy premiums allocable to continuing fractional interest holders are those persons’ obligations and not the Trust. If a continuing fractional interest holder defaults on future premium obligations, such position is deemed contributed to the Trust in exchange for the number of Units provided by the Plan, as previously modified by the Bankruptcy Court. The Trust maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability to collect premiums and service fees receivable. Such estimates are based on the position holder’s payment history and other indications of potential uncollectability. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, receivables are written off against the allowance. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, and fully offset for receivables assumed from the Debtors on the effective date. Outstanding receivable balances may be recoverable pursuant to the Trustee’s set-off rights under the Plan. |
Maturities Receivable | Maturities receivable consist of the Trust’s portion of life insurance policy maturities that occurred, but payment was not received as of the end of the reporting period. |
Premium Liability | Premium liabilities are funds in escrow on behalf of continuing fractional holders for future payment of their premium obligations. If such funds are not used for such continuing fractional holder’s premium payments, they are refunded to the respective continuing fractional holder. |
Maturity Liability | Maturity liabilities are maturities collected on behalf of continuing fractional holders pending payment to those fractional holders, including reserve for unallocated funds from the inception of Trust. |
Distributions Payable | Distributions payable are distributions declared by the Trust pending payment to Unit holders. |
Income Taxes | No provision for state or Federal income taxes has been made as the liability for such taxes is attributable to the Unit holders rather than the Trust. The Trust is a grantor trust with taxable income or loss passing through to the Unit holders. In certain instances, however, the Trust may be required under applicable state laws to remit directly to state tax authorities amounts otherwise due to Unit holders. Such payments on behalf of the Unit holders are deemed distributions of them. The Financial Accounting Standards Board has provided guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, disclosed, and presented in the consolidated financial statements. This requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Trust’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained when challenged or when examined by the applicable taxing authority. The Trust has no material uncertain income tax positions as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. |
Use of Estimates | The preparation of these consolidated financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), requires the Trust to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates and such differences could be material. The estimates related to the valuation of the life insurance policies represent significant estimates made by the Trust. |
Risks and Uncertainties | The Trust encounters economic, legal, and longevity risk. The main components of economic risk potentially impacting the Trust are market risk, concentration of credit risk, and the increasing cost of insurance risk. The Trust’s market risks include interest rate risk and the risk of declines in valuation of the Trust’s life insurance policies, including declines caused by the selection of increased discount rates associated with the Trust’s fair value model. It is reasonably possible that future changes to estimates involved in valuing life insurance policies could change and materially affect future consolidated financial statements. Concentration of credit risk is the risk that an insurance carrier who has issued life insurance policies held by the Trust, does not remit the amount due under those policies due to the carrier’s deteriorating financial condition or otherwise. Another credit risk potentially impacting the Trust is the risk continuing fractional holders may default on their future premium obligations, increasing the Trust’s premium obligations. The increasing cost of insurance risk includes the carriers’ attempts to change a policy’s cost of insurance. While some cost of insurance increases are anticipated and taken into consideration in the Trust’s forecasts, other cost of insurance increases are unilaterally imposed by the carrier. The main components of legal risk are: (i) the risk that an insurer could successfully challenge its obligation to pay policy benefits at maturity; and (ii) that an insured’s family could successfully challenge the Trust’s entitlement to an insurance policy’s benefits. In either case, there is also risk that the Trust would be unable to recover the premiums it paid towards the insurance policy. Longevity risk refers to the reasonable possibility that actual mortalities of insureds in the Trust’s portfolio extend over longer periods than are anticipated, resulting in the Trust paying more in premiums and delaying its collection of death benefits. Further, increased longevity may encourage additional continuing fractional holders to default on their premium obligations, increasing the Trust’s positions and its premium payment burden. The Trust management continues to evaluate any potential impact; however, such future revisions could have a material impact on the valuation. The Trust maintains the majority of its cash and cash equivalents in several accounts with a commercial bank. Balances on deposit are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). However, from time to time the Trust’s balances may exceed the FDIC insurable amounts as such in those cases the cash and cash equivalents are not insured. |
Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted | In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance (ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Notable amendments in this update will change the accounting for impairment of most financial assets and certain other instruments in the following ways: · financial assets (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost will be required to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, with an allowance for credit losses deducted from the amortized cost basis, resulting in a net carrying value that reflects the amount the entity expects to collect on the financial asset at purchase · credit losses relating to available-for-sale fixed maturity securities will be recorded through an allowance for credit losses, rather than reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. The allowance methodology recognizes that value may be realized either through collection of contractual cash flows or through the sale of the security. Therefore, the amount of the allowance for credit losses will be limited to the amount by which fair value is below amortized cost because the classification as available for sale is premised on an investment strategy that recognizes that the investment could be sold at fair value, if cash collection would result in the realization of an amount less than fair value · the income statement will reflect the measurement of expected credit losses for newly recognized financial assets as well as the expected increases or decreases (including the reversal of previously recognized losses) of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount · disclosures will be required to include information around how the credit loss allowance was developed, further details on information currently disclosed about credit quality of financing receivables and net investments in leases, and a rollforward of the allowance for credit losses for available-for-sale fixed maturity securities as well as an aging analysis for securities that are past due The amendments in this ASU may be early adopted during any interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2018. The Trust is currently evaluating the impact of this new accounting guidance on its financial statements and does not plan to early adopt. |

Equity Method Accounting | The Partnership accounts for its investment in the PHT using the equity method of its share of earnings or loss less distributions received. The Partnership and the Trust are closely connected, with a common trustee and common management. As a result of this common oversight and control, as well as the Partnership’s position as the majority holder of the Trust’s beneficial interest units, the Partnership is considered to have significant influence under the provisions of ASC 323, resulting in the application by the Partnership of the equity method of accounting. Earnings attributable to the Partnership’s interests in the Trust and recognized under the equity method represented approximately $44.5 million at December 31, 2021 and $34.0 million at December 31, 2020. The following table presents summarized Trust financial data: Balance Sheet Data: December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Life insurance policies $ 190,324,232 $ 159,179,912 All other assets 118,603,800 135,156,538 Total Assets $ 308,928,032 $ 294,336,450 Total Liabilities $ 39,567,412 $ 56,433,312 Net Assets $ 269,360,620 $ 237,903,138 Income Statement Data: December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Change in the fair value of life insurance policies $ 84,977,343 $ 67,656,287 Other income 2,131,704 608,269 Total income $ 87,109,047 $ 68,264,556 Total expenses $ 10,171,999 $ 9,417,789 Net increase in net assets resulting from operations $ 76,937,048 $ 58,846,767 |
Distributions Payable | Distributions payable are distributions declared by the IRA Partnership pending payment. |
Due to Life Partners Position Holders Trust | The Partnership does not have its own cash accounts, and its operating expenses and distributions to its Unit holders are paid on behalf of the Partnership by the Trust. The Partnership settles its liabilities to the Trust through reduction of the funds it receives from distributions made by the Trust. |
Income Taxes | No provision for state or Federal income taxes has been made as the liability for such taxes is attributable to the members rather than the Partnership. The Partnership is a limited liability company with taxable income or loss passing through to the members. In certain instances, however, the Partnership may be required under applicable state laws to remit directly to state tax authorities amounts otherwise due by members. Such payments on behalf of the members are deemed distributions to them. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) has provided guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, disclosed, and presented in the financial statements. This requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Partnership’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained when challenged or when examined by the applicable taxing authority. The Partnership has no material uncertain income tax positions as of December 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020. |
Use of Estimates | The preparation of these financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), requires the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates and such differences could be material. |
Risks and Uncertainties | The Partnership, due to the nature of its assets and operations, is subject to significant risks and uncertainties affecting the Trust which encounters economic risk. The two main components of economic risk potentially impacting the Partnership’s interest in the Trust are market risk and concentration of credit risk. Market risks include interest rate risk and the risk of declines in valuation of the Trust’s life insurance policies, including declines caused by the selection of increased discount rates associated with the Trust’s fair value model. Concentration of credit risk is the risk that an insurance carrier who has issued life insurance policies held by the Trust, does not remit the amount due under those policies due to the deteriorating financial condition of the carrier or otherwise. It is reasonably possible that future changes to estimates involved in valuing the Trust’s life insurance policies could change and result in material effects on the Partnership’s financial position and results of operation. |
