Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership and Thrift Plan
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership and Thrift Plan as of
December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America as established by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal
control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan's internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of Pre-Paid Legal
Services, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership and Thrift Plan as of December 31, 2006
and 2005, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years
then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held
for investment purposes and reportable transactions are presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplemental information required by the Department
of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These supplemental schedules are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. Such supplemental schedules have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2006 and 2005
NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN
The Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership and Thrift Plan
(the "Plan") was established on January 1, 1988 for the benefit of the
employees of Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the
"Company"). The Plan is administered by a committee (the "Committee") of
three employees appointed by the Company. The Committee also served as the
Plan's Trustee and Invest-ment Manager until November 1, 2004 when the
Company amended and restated the Plan to provide for appointment by the
Committee of outside entities to assume the duties of both the Investment
Manager and Trustee. The 401(k) Company was appointed Investment Manager.
Effective November 1, 2004, the Employer and Nationwide Trust Company, FSB
("Nationwide") entered into a Trust Agreement whereby Nationwide became
Plan Trustee.
The following brief description of the provisions of the Plan is provided
for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the
Plan agreement for more complete information.
Under the terms of the Plan, the Trustee may acquire, hold and dispose of
all cash and investments, including common and preferred stock of the
Company in accordance with the Committee's written investment policy.
Participants may direct the investment of 25% of their Elective Deferral
accounts to any one or more of the investment funds designated by the
Committee as permissible under the written investment policy. Participants
who have attained the age of 55 have the right to make an election to
direct the investment of up to 100% of their deferred compensation account
and the vested portion of their Company Contribution Account in one or more
of those permissible funds.
Each participant or beneficiary shall have the sole right to vote shares of
Company common stock allocated to such participant's account. The right to
vote such shares shall be exercised by directing the Committee as to the
manner in which the shares shall be voted.
The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering certain employees of the
Company and employees of affiliated companies which are included in the
Company's consolidated tax return. The Plan year-end is December 31. All
employees at least 21 years of age are eligible to enroll in the Plan on
the first day of the month following the date the employee completes one
year of service (1,000 hours) within 12 consecutive months of his/her
employment date.
The Company may make discretionary contributions to the Plan for each Plan
year. The contributions may vary from year to year and are determined by
written action of the Board of Directors of the Company. Contributions may
be made only out of the Company's consolidated net profits before federal
and state income taxes from the current or a preceding year. The Company's
contribution may be paid to the Trustee either in cash, qualified employer
securities or in other property.
The Discretionary Matching Company Contribution is an amount determined, in
the sole discretion of the Company and added to amounts forfeited by other
participants, to match the following percentages of participants' deferred
compensation contributions (up to a maximum of 6%) for the Plan year. The
Discretionary Matching Company Contribution is allocated at the end of each
Plan year to each participant's Company Contribution Account based on the
following percentages:
Years of service
on first day of Matching
Plan year percentages
---------------- ------------
0-3 50%
4-5 75%
6 or more 100%
A participant may elect to defer a portion of his compensation in the form
of a contribution to his deferred compensation account under the Plan.
Participants contribute to the Plan on a pre-tax basis only. Subject to the
limitations contained in the Plan, a participant may elect to defer any
portion of his compensation. However, a participant may never defer more
than the lesser of the Internal Revenue Service limitation ($15,000 and
$14,000 in 2006 and 2005, respectively) in any Plan year or a percentage of
compensation greater than the maximum percentage of compensation determined
annually by the Committee.
Separate accounts are maintained for each participant in the Plan. When an
election is made by the participant to defer part of his compensation, an
Employee Deferred Compensation Account is established. Each participant
will also have a Company Contribution Account consisting of discretionary
matching contributions made by the Company and a proportionate share of
forfeitures.
All amounts in the participant's accounts are placed in a trust fund and
invested by the Trustee. The Trustee must invest the trust fund solely in
the interest of and for the exclusive purpose of providing benefits to the
participants and their beneficiaries while minimizing the expenses of
administering the Plan. Under the terms of the Plan, all Company
contributions and up to 75% of the participant's contributions may be
invested in common stock of the Company or in preferred stock convertible
into common stock of the Company at a conversion price which, as of the
date of acquisition by the Plan, is reasonable. Such securities are termed
qualified employer securities. Effective January 1, 2007, the Plan was
amended to allow the participants to direct the Trustee as to the
investment of their contributions including the portion, if any, to be
invested in employer securities.
A participant will be entitled to the full amount credited to his Company
Contribution Account at the normal retirement date or upon permanent
disability or death. If a participant terminates employment for any reason
after he has completed at least one year of service, he will be entitled to
receive a portion or all of his account, depending on his years of service.
The percentage of the Company Contribution Account to which a participant
is entitled and the percentage forfeited if a participant leaves the
Company for reasons other than retirement, permanent disability or death
prior to becoming fully vested is computed according to the following
formula:
Vested Forfeited
Years of service percentage percentage
------------------ ---------- ----------
Less than 1 0% 100%
1 but less than 2 20% 80%
2 but less than 3 40% 60%
3 but less than 4 60% 40%
4 but less than 5 80% 20%
5 or more 100% 0%
A participant will always be fully vested in his Employee Deferred
Compensation Account, regardless of his years of service.
Upon termination of a participant's employment with the Company, the
nonvested portion of the Company contribution is forfeited. Forfeitures are
used to reduce future Company contributions. At December 31, 2006,
forfeited nonvested accounts totaled approximately $7,000.
The Company may amend the Plan at any time to conform to the Internal
Revenue Code, Treasury Regulations and Rulings thereunder. The Company has
the right to terminate the Plan at any time upon prior written notice to
the Trustee and may direct the Trustee to liquidate the shares of
participants in the trust fund. Upon termination or permanent suspension of
contributions, the accounts of all participants affected thereby shall
become nonforfeitable and shall be distributed.
NOTE B - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the Plan's significant accounting policies.
1. Basis of Accounting
The Plan's financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.
2. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of the Plan's linked cash and money fund
accounts at a national brokerage firm which may not be federally insured.
The Plan has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is
not exposed to any significant credit risks on cash and cash equivalents.
Money fund amounts have a unit value of $1 and balances are immediately
accessible by the Plan.
3. Investments
Investments are presented at fair value as measured by market prices in
active markets, including national securities exchanges. The cost of
Company common stock sold is determined on the basis of average cost.
Actual cost is used as a basis for sales of all other investments.
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. The Plan's
interest in the collective trust is valued based on information reported by
the investment advisor using the audited financial statements of the
collective trust at year-end. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend
date.
The Plan presents in the statements of changes in net assets available for
benefits, the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its
investments, which consists of the realized gains or losses and the
unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments.
4. Participant Notes
Participant notes are approved by the Committee and cannot be made for an
amount less than $1,040 or exceed the lesser of $50,000 reduced by the
excess of the highest outstanding balance of loans during the one-year
period ending on the day before the loan is made or one-half of the
participant's vested balance. The notes are secured by the participants'
vested interest in the Plan, bear interest and are repayable based upon
rates and terms set forth in the Loan Policy. Participant notes are valued
at cost which approximates fair value.
5. Noncash Contributions
Contributions of Company common stock are recorded at fair value as
determined by the market price of Company common stock on the New York
Stock Exchange for the day when the company match is contributed.
6. Expenses
The Company elected to pay substantially all of the Plan's administration
expenses in 2006 and 2005 although it is not obligated to do so. Any
expenses not paid by the Company are to be paid by the Plan and totaled
$1,000 for 2006 and $1,200 for 2005.
7. Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of net assets available for benefits and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of changes in net assets available for benefits during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as
interest rate, credit and overall market volatility. Due to the level of
risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably
possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in
the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts
reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.
As described in Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position, FSP
AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, Reporting on Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment
Contracts Held by Certain Investments Companies Subject to the AICPA
Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and
Pension Plans (the "FSP"), investment contracts held by a
defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value.
However, contract value is the relevant measure attribute for that portion
of the net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan
attributable to a fully-benefit responsive investment contracts because
contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to
initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. The Plan
invests in investment contracts through a collective trust. As required by
the FSP, the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits presents the
fair value of the investment in the collective trust as well as the
adjustment of the investment in the collective trust from fair value to
contract value relating to the investment contracts. The Statement of
Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits is prepared on a contract
value basis.

A favorable determination letter dated November 16, 2005 was received from
the Internal Revenue Service indicating that the Plan, as amended through
November 1, 2004, qualifies under section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue
Code and is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(a) of the
Code. The Plan has been further amended since receiving the determination
letter. However, the Company and the Committee believe that the Plan is
