SECURITY NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements September 30, 1996 and 1995 (Unaudited) 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1996. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1995, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K (file number 0-9341). MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS Results of Operations Overview The Company's operations over the last three years generally reflect three trends or events which the Company expects to continue: (i) increased attention to "niche" insurance products, such as the Company's funeral plan policies, annuities, and limited pay accident policies; (ii) emphasis on high margin cemetery and mortuary business; and (iii) capitalizing on the strong economy in the intermountain west by originating and refinancing mortgage loans. Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 as Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 1995 Total revenues have decreased by $101,000 or 1.5%, from $6,935,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to $6,834,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996. Contributing to this decrease in total revenues was a $13,000 decrease in insurance premiums and other considerations, a $283,000 decrease in net mortuary and cemetery sales, and a $56,000 decrease in realized gains on investments and other assets. Net investment income increased by $101,000, from $1,671,000 for the third quarter of 1995 to $1,772,000 for the third quarter of 1996. This increase was attributable to a larger investment base due to the acquisition of Civil Service Employees Life Insurance Company ("CSE Life") and the Company's emphasis on investing its cash and short term investments in higher yielding investments, particularly warehouse lending for mortgage loans. Net mortuary and cemetery sales decreased by $283,000, from $2,055,000 for the third quarter 1995 to 1,772,000 for the third quarter 1996. This decrease was due to fewer pre-need and at-need contracts written in the cemetery division and fewer cases serviced in the Arizona mortuary division. Mortgage fee income increased by $146,000, from $1,707,000 for the third quarter of 1995 to $1,853,000 for the third quarter of 1996. This increase was the result of a strong economy and an increased demand for housing in the intermountain area, which created more activity for loan originations. Total benefits and expenses were $6,238,000 for the third quarter of 1995, which were 90% of the Company's total revenues, as compared to $6,688,000, or 98% of the Company's total revenues for the third quarter of 1996. Surrenders and other policy benefits increased by $1,016,000, from $543,000 for the third quarter of 1995 to $1,559,000 for the third quarter of 1996. This increase was primarily due to the increase in the withdrawals of annuities purchased from Capital Investors Life Insurance Company ("Capital Investors Life") and the additional policies from the acquisition of CSE Life at December 31, 1995. Increase in future policy benefits decreased by $1,065,000, from $475,000 for the third quarter of 1995 to a negative $590,000 for the third quarter of 1996. This decrease was primarily due to the release of reserves which offset the increase in withdrawals of Capital Investors Life and the increased number of policies from the acquisition of CSE Life. Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and costs of insurance acquired decreased by $109,000, from $418,000 for the third quarter of 1995 to $309,000 for the third quarter of 1996. This decrease was primarily due to flucuations in amortization schedules as a result of actual to expected adjustments in assumptions. General and administrative expenses increased by $649,000, from $3,443,000 for the third quarter of 1995 to $4,092,000 for the third quarter of 1996. This increase was due to the increase in commission expenses, salaries and other expenses. Commission expenses increased by $262,000, from $1,127,000 for the third quarter of 1995 to $1,389,000 for the third quarter of 1996. This increase was due to a greater number of mortgage loans processed by Security National Mortgage Company. Salaries increased by $297,000, from $936,000 for the third quarter of 1995 to $1,233,000 for the third quarter of 1996. This increase was attributable to the increased number of employees resulting from the increased business operations of Security National Mortgage Company, the acquisition of CSE Life in December 1995, and stock options exercised by key employees. Other expenses have increased by $90,000, from $1,379,000 for the third quarter of 1995 to $1,469,000 for the third quarter of 1996. This increase was primarily due to the increased business operations of Security National Mortgage and the increased maintenance costs for the Company's facilities. Interest expenses increased by $33,000, from $317,000 for the third quarter of 1995 to $350,000 for the third quarter of 1996. This increase was primarily due to the greater number of loans processed through warehouse lending at Security National Mortgage Company and the increased indebtedness resulting from the acquisition of CSE Life and the development of Singing Hills Memorial Park. Cost of goods and services sold of the mortuaries and cemeteries increased by $27,000, from $532,000 for the third quarter of 1995 to $559,000 for the third quarter of 1996. This increase was due to a change in the sales mix for the three months ended September 30, 1995, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 1996. Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 as Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995 Total revenues increased by $4,267,000, or 23.4%, from $18,197,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to $22,464,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Contributing to this increase in total revenues was a $751,000 increase in net investment income, a $153,000 increase in net mortuary and cemetery sales and a $3,433,000 increase in mortgage fee income. Net investment income increased by $751,000, from $4,886,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $5,637,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. This increase was attributable to two factors. First, the Company's emphasis on investing its cash and short-term investments in higher yielding investments, particularly warehouse lending for mortgage loans. Second, the increase was attributable to a larger investment base due to the acquisition of CSE Life. Net mortuary and cemetery sales increased by $512,000, from $5,915,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $6,067,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. This increase was primarily related to the mortuary division of the Company and the acquisition of Greer-Wilson Funeral Home. The acquisition of Greer-Wilson Funeral Home was completed in April 1995, thereby providing additional income for only six months of the nine month period ending September 30, 1995 and nine months of additional income for the period ending September 30, 1996. Mortgage fee income increased by $3,433,000, from $2,901,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $6,334,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. This increase was the result of the strong economy and an increased demand for housing in the intermountain area, which created more activity for loan originations. Total benefits and expenses were $16,431,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, which was 90% of the Company's total revenues, as compared to $21,656,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, or 96% of the Company's total revenues. Death benefits, surrenders and other policyholder benefits and increase in future policy benefits increased in the aggregate by $155,000, from $4,498,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $4,653,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. This increase was primarily due to the increase in the withdrawals of annuities purchased from Capital Investors Life and the additional policies from the acquistion of CSE Life. Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs increased by $35,000, from $919,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $954,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. This increase was primarily due to the additional policies from the acquisition of CSE Life. General and administrative expenses increased by $4,646,000, from $8,528,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $13,174,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. This increase was due to increases in commissions, salaries and other expenses. Commission expenses increased by $1,918,000, from $2,476,000, for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $4,394,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. This increase was primarily due to a greater number of mortgage loans processed by Security National Mortgage Company. Salaries increased by $1,108,000, from $2,528,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $3,636,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. This increase was attributable to the increased number of employees resulting from increased business operations of Security National Mortgage Company, the acquisition of CSE Life in December 1995, the additional three months of salaries resulting from the acquisition of Greer-Wilson Funeral Home in April 1995. Also contributing to this increase was the exercise of stock options by key employees. Other expenses increased by $1,620,000, from $3,523,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $5,143,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. This increase was primarily due to the increased business operations of Security National Mortgage and increased maintenance costs for the Company's facilities Interest expense increased by $291,000, from $823,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $1,114,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. This increase was primarily due to the increased activity in the warehouse lending of Security National Mortgage Company and the increased indebtedness resulting from the acquisitions of CSE Life, Greer-Wilson Funeral Home, and Singing Hills Memorial Park. Cost of goods and services sold of the mortuaries and cemeteries increased by $96,000, from $1,663,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $1,759,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. This increase was consistent with the increase in mortuary and cemetery sales. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's life insurance subsidiary and cemetery and mortuary subsidiaries realize cash flow from premiums, contract payments and sales on personal services rendered for cemetery and mortuary business, from interest and dividends on invested assets, and from the proceeds from the maturity of held-to-maturity investments, or sale of other investments. The mortgage subsidiary realizes cash flow from fees generated by originating and refinancing mortgage loans and interest earned on mortgages sold to investors. The Company considers these sources of cash flow to be adequate to fund future policyholder and cemetery and mortuary liabilities which generally are long-term and adequate to pay current policyholder claims, annuity payments, expenses on the issuance of new policies, the maintenance of existing policies, debt service, and to meet operating expenses. The Company attempts to match the duration of invested assets with its policyholder and cemetery and mortuary liabilities. The Company may sell investments other than those held to maturity in the portfolio to help in this timing; however, to date, that has not been necessary. The Company purchases short-term investments on a temporary basis to meet the expectations of short-term requirements of the Company's products. The Company's investment philosophy is intended to provide a rate of return which will persist during the expected duration of policyholder and cemetery and mortuary liabilities regardless of future interest rate movements. The Company's investment policy is to invest predominately in fixed maturity securities and warehouse mortgage loans on a short-term basis before selling the loans to investors in accordance with the requirements and laws governing the life insurance subsidiary. Bonds owned by the insurance subsidiary amounted to $48,163,000, at amortized cost as of September 30, 1996 compared to $51,143,000 at amortized cost as of December 31, 1995. This represents 60% of the total insurance related investments in 1996 as compared to 66% in 1995. Generally all bonds owned by the life insurance subsidiary are rated by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). Under this rating system, there are six categories used for rating bonds. At September 30, 1996, 3.8% ($1,834,000) and at December 31, 1995, 3.6% ($1,851,000) of the Company's total investment in bonds were invested in bonds in rating categories three through six which are considered non-investment grade. Based on preliminary information, the Company plans to hold its fixed income securities, including high-yield securities, in its portfolio to maturity. Business conditions, however, may develop in the future which may indicate a need for a higher level of liquidity in the investment portfolio. In that event the Company believes it could sell short-term investment grade securities before liquidating high-yielding longer term securities. The Company is subject to risk based capital guidelines established by statutory regulators requiring minimum capital levels based on the perceived risk of assets, liabilities, disintermediation, and business risk. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the life subsidiary exceeded the regulatory criteria. Stockholders' equity as a percent of assets is one measure of capital strength. At September 30, 1996 the Company's ratio increased to 18% up from 16% at December 31, 1995. The mortgage company acts as a warehouse by financing mortgage loans through a warehouse line of credit, and then selling them to investors within 45 days, and repaying the debt. This transaction results in a receivable for mortgage loans sold to investors which are offset by a warehouse line of credit. Computations without this transaction results in the Company's debt to total assets at 10% as of September 30, 1996 and 11% at December 31, 1995 and the Company's equity to total assets to 20% as of September 30, 1996 and 19% at December 31, 1995. In February 1995, the Company purchased approximately 100 acres of real property (the "property") located in San Diego, California, approximately 35 acres of which will be used for the development of a cemetery. The purchase price of the property was $1,162,000, $100,000 of which was paid in cash and the balance of $1,062,000, together with interest thereon at the rate of 9% per annum, to be paid in twelve equal monthly payments of $5,000, thereafter in equal monthly payments of $10,000; however, interest does not accrue on any part of the principal balance until February 1996. A principal payment of $100,000 was made in December 1995. The Company has obtained approval from the federal government and the California Cemetery Board to operate a cemetery on the property. The development of the cemetery will be financed internally. Initial development of 35 acres to operate as a cemetery is estimated to cost approximately $560,000. In March 1995, the Company purchased 97,800 shares of common stock of Greer-Wilson Funeral Home, Inc. ("Greer-Wilson"), representing 97.8% of the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Greer-Wilson for a total consideration of $1,218,000, which included a note to the former owners for $588,000. In November 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with Myers Mortuary for the sale of the Company's 65% interest in Evergreen Memorial Partnership and the Company's 50% interest in Evergreen Management Corporation. As consideration for the sale of these entities, Myers Mortuary paid $746,000 in satisfaction of the indebtedness that Evergreen Memorial Partnership owes to the Company. Myers Mortuary has also agreed to pay $200,000 to the Company in four equal annual installments of $50,000, beginning in October 1996. In addition, Myers Mortuary will pay a $10.00 royalty to the Company for each adult space sold in Evergreen Memorial Park over the next ten years, beginning in January 1996. In December 1995, the Company purchased all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Civil Service Employees Life Insurance Company from Civil Service Employees Insurance Company for a total cost of $5,200,000, which included a promissory note in the amount of $1,063,000. Interest on the promissory note accrues at 7% per annum. Principal payments are to be made in seven equal annual installments of approximately $152,000, beginning in December 1996. Accrued interest will be payable annually beginning in December 1996. At September 30, 1996, $10,259,000 of the Company's consolidated stockholders' equity represented the statutory stockholders' equity of the Company's insurance subsidiary. The life insurance subsidiary cannot pay a dividend to its parent company without the approval of insurance regulatory authorities. Part II Other Information:
