Pre-Paid Legal SCORES HIGH

Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc.

Scores High on Validea's 'Hot List' Portfolio

ADA, Okla., Jan. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc. [PPD] has earned a position as one of the top 20 U.S. companies on Validea's "Hot List" portfolio, a stock screening (selection) system that identifies the highest rated stocks from among 6,000 stocks tracked by Validea.com. Validea utilizes a proprietary software system which is based on the investment strategies of 12 leading U.S. investors, such as Peter Lynch, Warren Buffett and Joel Greenblatt.

In a TheStreet.com article from Jan. 8, 2010, Validea's Founder John Reese highlights Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc. (PPD) for its overall ranking as the smallest of small cap (capitalization) companies on the list and specifically for its "impressive" ranking among three of Validea's "Guru System" strategies, based on investment methodologies of Peter Lynch, Warren Buffett and Joel Greenblatt.

The Peter Lynch model utilizes a P/E/G ratio (price-to-earnings ratio relative to growth), which is a measure of how much investors are paying for growth. According this model, Reese said, "A P/E/G of 1.0 or less is acceptable, and 0.5 or below is really impressive." Reese said, "Pre-Paid Legal Services' P/E/G is an impressive 0.37."

The Warren Buffett based strategy utilized in the "Guru System" projects an annual increase in stock value over a 10 year period. According to this investment model, an annual increase of 15 percent is acceptable. Reese has written that under the Warren Buffett based strategy, "Pre-Paid Legal Services is expected to earn its investors a remarkable 26.7 percent."

PPD also garnered a high ranking in Validea's "Guru System" strategy based on the approach of investor Joel Greenblatt. The Greenblatt strategy utilizes a ranking comparison of thousands of stocks based on earnings yield, or the earnings per share divided by the stock price, and return on capital, or how profitably a company utilizes its assets. Reese noted that according to this strategy, PPD ranked second among the 6,000 stocks tracked by Validea.com.

In a Kirk Report interview from 2009, John Reese commented on the "Guru System" and the 12 investment strategies that form the basis of the Validea system. "While each strategy is very different, they are all investing methodologies that determine whether or not the stock of a company is a good value based on the underlying fundamentals of the company."

Commenting on the "Hot List" ranking, Pre-Paid Legal Services Founder and CEO Harland C. Stonecipher said, "The Validea.com report is encouraging both as an indication of Pre-Paid Legal Services' value as a corporate investment and because it highlights our value proposition with approaches taken by world-class investors."

PPD has recently been recognized as one of 20 undervalued small cap company stocks by Motley Fool analyst Anand Chokkavelu (October 31, 2009) and as the 4(th) highest rated stock among the 3,500 highest rated U.S. stocks, based on an October 2009 ranking by investor Joel Greenblatt (cited in RealMoney). This past year, PPD was also ranked 66 on the Forbes Magazine listing of "America's 200 Best Small Companies."

WHY OFFER A PRE-PAID LEGAL PLAN

Why offering a Pre-Paid Legal Plan with your company’s benefits package pays off for employees--and for you as the Owner.
A Pre-Paid Legal Plan is just what it sounds like: an arrangement that gives an employee access to the services of an attorney for a wide range of legal needs. Depending on the type of plan, the possibilities range from assistance in creating a WILL to contract negotiation to representation in divorce proceedings or for a major trial.
The number of employers offering pre-paid legal plans to their employers is growing, but right now, it’s still pretty small, only 34600 companies today offer the services as a benefit. According to the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans’ Employee Benefits Survey: U.S. and Canada 2009, about a quarter of respondents say they offer a legal services plan to their participants. The Society for Human Resource Management conducted a similar employee benefits survey and found that about 21 percent offer legal services.
The benefit to the employees is fairly straightforward. "It gives people access to the legal system," says Nick Serba of Pre-Paid Legal Services. "Most people are priced out of the legal system. They can’t afford it, or they don’t know someone who can help them."
Terry Perry, owner of PinkSlip, a three-person company in San Jose, Calif., was grateful for her company’s prepaid legal plan two years ago when she received a speeding ticket while out of town. She called and received an attorney’s assistance to get it settled quickly.
"The benefit is fantastic for those sorts of things," says Perry, who has offered the plan as a benefit to her employees for three years.
So what’s the payoff for employers? Studies have shown that employees who are satisfied with their benefits tend to be more satisfied with their jobs in general. Proponents of prepaid legal plan benefits say access to legal services tends to reduce employee absenteeism because employees can get the services they need. They don’t need to miss work to sort out their legal affairs.
"It keeps the employees in a more productive mode," Serba says.
It can be useful, Perry agrees, but she notes that some people may be reluctant to spend any additional money right now.
"I know people are cautious about how they’re spending their money," says Perry, who asks her employees to pay for this particular benefit if they want to use it.
The cost of offering this service varies, depending on which plan and administrator you choose. The American Prepaid Legal Services Institute estimates that the cost can range from $70 per year per employee to as much as $400 per year.
