                                      TO
                                 SCHEDULE 13D
                                 ------------

This Amendment No. 2 amends the Schedule 13D, dated February 24, 1995 (as
further amended on January 16, 1998) of Allianz Life Insurance Company of North
America with respect to the Common Stock, $.01 par value, of Life USA Holding,
Inc., a Minnesota corporation, to report the initial closing of the transactions
reported in Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D.

Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
          -------------------------------------------------

          On January 13, 1998, LifeUSA Holding, Inc. (the "Issuer") and Allianz
entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"),
pursuant to which Allianz agreed to acquire shares of Common Stock (not to
exceed 35% of the outstanding Common Stock) by (i) exercising its right to
convert the Debenture into shares of Common Stock (Section 1.1 of the Stock
Purchase Agreement), (ii) exercising its preemptive rights under the Debenture
Purchase Agreement to purchase shares of Common Stock (Section 1.2 of the Stock
Purchase Agreement), (iii) purchasing an aggregate of 925,000 shares of Common
Stock from management of the Issuer (Exhibit Q and Sections 5.4 and 6.4 of the
Stock Purchase Agreement), (iv) purchasing on the open market up to 1,604,104
shares of Common Stock within one year of the Initial Closing (as defined in
Section 1.1 of the Stock Purchase Agreement) and (v) purchasing $100 million of
newly issued Common Stock over the next five years ($20 million annually)
directly from the Issuer (Section 2 of the Stock Purchase Agreement), provided
that under certain circumstances a convertible debenture (in the form of Exhibit
O to the Stock Purchase Agreement) could be substituted for the Common Stock.
The Stock Purchase Agreement also provides for the termination of the Debenture
Purchase Agreement and the cancellation of the Warrant. The Initial Closing of
the Stock Purchase Agreement occurred on February 6, 1998.  Effective upon such
Initial Closing, Allianz converted the Debenture into 2,431,116 shares of Common
Stock, exercised its preemptive rights under the Debenture Purchase Agreement to
purchase 241,846 shares of Common Stock and purchased an aggregate of 925,000
shares of Common Stock from management of the Issuer, which purchases were
financed by working capital funds of Allianz. Allianz expects to utilize working
capital funds to effectuate its payments for the shares of Common Stock
described in clause (iv) above.  The purchase of Common Stock and/or convertible
debentures described in (v) above will be funded from working capital funds of
Allianz or from credits against the reinsurance allowances for commissions and
expenses under the existing reinsurance agreement between Allianz and LifeUSA
Insurance Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer ("LifeUSA").

          The foregoing summary of the Stock Purchase Agreement and related
agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the Stock Purchase Agreement (including exhibits thereto), which is
incorporated herein by reference.
 
Item 4.   Purpose of the Transaction
          --------------------------

          On January 13, 1998, the Issuer and Allianz entered into the Stock
Purchase Agreement to provide Issuer with additional capital for its general
corporate purposes and to make additional agreements relating to Allianz's
<PAGE>
 
ownership of Common Stock and the relationships between Allianz and the Issuer
and between Allianz and LifeUSA.  Effective upon the Initial Closing of the
Stock Purchase Agreement, Allianz acquired an aggregate of 3,597,962 shares of
Common Stock by conversion of the Debenture, exercise of preemptive rights under
the Debenture Purchase Agreement and purchase of Common Stock from management of
the Issuer.

          In connection with the Initial Closing of the Stock Purchase
Agreement, the Issuer and Allianz also amended the various marketing agreements:
(i) the existing administration and marketing agreement between Allianz and
Issuer (by which the Issuer on behalf of LifeUSA provides marketing services,
underwriting services and policy administration services to Allianz with respect
to certain life insurance policies and annuities under the existing reinsurance
contract between Allianz and LifeUSA) was amended to extend the term of the
agreement to December 31, 2000 (Exhibit G to the Stock Purchase Agreement) (as
amended, the "Marketing Agreement"); (ii) the existing reinsurance agreement
between Allianz and LifeUSA (by which Allianz can assume 50% of certain LifeUSA
life insurance policies and annuities reinsured after January 1, 1995) was
amended to permit LifeUSA to deliver shares of Common Stock of the Issuer to pay
for the reinsurance allowances and commissions owing thereunder by LifeUSA to
Allianz (Exhibit J to the Stock Purchase Agreement); and (iii) the existing
claims administration agreement between Allianz and LifeUSA (by which LifeUSA
provides all services relating to paying claims with respect to certain life
insurance policies and annuities) was amended to extend the term of the
agreement to December 31, 2000 (Exhibit K to the Stock Purchase Agreement).
Upon the Initial Closing, Allianz and LifeUSA also entered into a new
reinsurance agreement pursuant to which Allianz can assume 12.5% of LifeUSA
business (Exhibit I to the Stock Purchase Agreement).  Section 7.8 of the Stock
Purchase Agreement provides that, commencing January 1, 1998 and during the term
of the Marketing Agreement (the "Covered Period"), Allianz shall be entitled to
37.5% of the first year and single premiums received from life insurance and
fixed annuity products written during the Covered Period (a) by LifeUSA agents
for LifeUSA and (b) by LifeUSA agents for Allianz under the Marketing Agreement.
In addition, during the term of the Marketing Agreement, Allianz will have the
right of first refusal to assume up to 37.5% of the premiums received from any
other products written by LifeUSA if and to the extent (not to exceed 37.5%)
LifeUSA reinsures any such products.

          Although, other than described in this Item 4, Allianz does not have
any current plans or proposals with respect to the Issuer or its Common Stock,
Allianz reserves the right to take any and all actions, which could include,
without limitation, a tender offer for all of the shares of Common Stock of the
Issuer.  Considerations relevant to any decision may include then current market
and economic conditions, the Issuer's then current or prospective financial
performance, the market performance of the Common Stock and management's plans,
if any, with respect to the Issuer.

          The foregoing summary of the Stock Purchase Agreement and related
agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the Stock Purchase Agreement (including exhibits thereto), which is
incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer
          ------------------------------------

          (a) Effective upon the Initial Closing under the Stock Purchase
Agreement, Allianz (i) exercised its right to convert the Debenture into
2,431,116 shares of Common Stock, (ii) exercised its preemptive rights under the
Debenture Purchase Agreement to purchase 241,846 shares of Common Stock and
(iii) purchased 925,000 shares of Common Stock from management of the Issuer at
a purchase price of $16.44 per share.  Based upon such conversion and purchases
and the 22,620,760 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 31, 1997,
Allianz beneficially owns 3,597,962 shares of Common Stock or approximately
14.2% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

          (b) Allianz has sole voting power and sole dispositive power as to the
shares acquired at the Initial Closing pursuant to the conversion of the
Debenture and the purchases of Common Stock described in (a) above.

          (c) Other than the acquisition of Common Stock described above, no
transactions with respect to the Common Stock have been effected since January
16, 1998 by Allianz, AZ AG, AZOA or, to the best knowledge of Allianz, by any
executive officer or director of Allianz, AZ AG or AZOA.

          (d) No other person is known by Allianz to have the right to receive
or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the
sale of, the securities covered by this Schedule 13D.

          (e)  Not applicable.
