                    [Summary] => The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) cancelled yesterday the registration certificate of Lifetime Plans Inc., the spin-off unit of the troubled Yuchengco-owned pre-need firm Pacific Plans Inc., for failure to comply with certain registration requirements.


In its order, the SEC said it has withdrawn its approval of Lifetime Plans’ certificate of incorporation due to the firm’s failure to submit documents to support its capitalization.

Despite assurances from Lifetime Plans that its planholders are not affected by the problems of its sister company Pacific Plans owned by the Yuchengco group, some pension plan holders and other holders of fixed value plans have decided to pre-terminate their plans and receive much less in return.
