SECURITY NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements September 30, 2000 (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, 2000, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2000. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1999, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K (file number 0-9341). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The estimates susceptible to significant change are those used in determining the liability for future policy benefits and claims, those used in determining valuation allowances for mortgage loans on real estate, and those used in determining the estimated future costs for pre-need sales. Although some variability is inherent in these estimates, management believes the amounts provided are adequate. 2. Comprehensive Income For the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, total comprehensive income amounted to $700,326 and $141,687, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, total comprehensive income amounted to $534,953 and $224,330 respectively. 3. Capital Stock In accordance with SFAS 128, the basic and diluted earnings per share amounts were calculated as follows: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 1999 Numerator: ----- ---- Net income $531,110 $579,790 =========== ============ Denominator: Denominator for basic earnings per share-- weighted-average shares 4,290,775 4,380,510 ----------- ----------- Effect of dilutive securities: Employee stock options 37,887 -- Stock appreciation rights -- -- ----------- ---------- Dilutive potential common shares 37,887 -- ----------- ---------- Denominator for diluted earnings per share-adjusted weighted- average shares and assumed conversions 4,328,662 4,380,510 ========== ========== Basic earnings per share $0.12 $0.13 ===== ===== Diluted earnings per share $0.12 $0.13 ===== ===== There are no dilutive effects on net income for purpose of this calculation. 7

SECURITY NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements September 30, 2000 (Unaudited) 5. Acquisition of Southern Security Life Insurance Company ------------------------------------------------------- On December 17, 1998, the Company purchased all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Consolidare Enterprises, Inc. ("Consolidare") which owned 57.4% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Southern Security Life Insurance Company ("Southern Security"). Since then the Company has purchased 265,770 of additional shares of Southern Security and owns 71% of the outstanding shares. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis ------------------------------------ Overview The Company's operations over the last several 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 and interest sensitive products; (ii) emphasis on cemetery and mortuary business; and (iii) capitalizing on the strong economy in the United States by originating and refinancing mortgage loans. Results of Operations Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 Total revenues increased by $6,770,000, or 18.4%, to $43,618,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, from $36,849,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Contributing to this increase in total revenues was a $6,612,000 increase in mortgage fee income and a $1,282,000 increase in net investment income. Insurance premiums and other considerations decreased by $87,000, or .9%, to $9,921,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, from $10,008,000 for the comparable period in 1999. This decrease was primarily the result of a reduction in universal life policyholder income. Net investment income increased by $1,282,000, or 16.7%, to $8,946,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, from $7,664,000 for the comparable period in 1999. This increase was primarily attributable to a greater number of loan originations during the nine months of 2000 due to the expansion of business activities in new geographic markets. Net mortuary and cemetery sales decreased by $105,000, or 1.4%, to $7,532,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, from $7,637,000 for the comparable period in 1999. This decrease was primarily due to fewer pre-need cemetery sales. Mortgage fee income increased by $6,612,000, or 63.1%, to $17,095,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, from $10,483,000 for the comparable period in 1999. This increase was primarily attributable to a greater number of loan originations during the nine months of 2000 due to the expansion of business activities in new geographic markets. Total benefits and expenses were $42,850,000, or 98.2% of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, as compared to $35,737,000, or 97.0% of total revenues for the comparable period in 1999. Death benefits, surrenders and other policy benefits, and increase in future policy benefits increased by an aggregate of $117,000, or 1.3%, to $8,865,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, from $8,748,000 for the comparable period in 1999. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in interest crediting for policyholder account balances. Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and cost of insurance acquired decreased by $212,000, or 5.6%, to $3,560,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, from $3,772,000 for the comparable period in 1999. This decrease was in line with actuarial assumptions. 10

General and administrative expenses increased by $6,627,000, or 33.3%, to $26,533,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, from $19,906,000 for the comparable period in 1999. This increase primarily resulted from an increase in commissions and other expenses due to additional mortgage loan originations having been made by the Company's mortgage subsidiary during the nine months of 2000 due to the expansion of its business activities in new geographic markets. Interest expense increased by $692,000, or 87.0%, to $1,487,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, from $795,000 for the comparable period in 1999. This increase was primarily due to additional warehouse lines of credit required for the additional mortgage loan originations by the Company's mortgage subsidiary. Cost of goods and services sold of the mortuaries and cemeteries decreased by $112,000, or 4.4%, to $2,404,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, from $2,515,000 for the comparable period in 1999. This decrease was primarily due to fewer pre-need cemetery sales. Third Quarter of 2000 Compared to Third Quarter of 1999 Total revenues increased by $2,571,000, or 21.1%, to $14,731,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000, from $12,160,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999. Contributing to this increase in total revenues was a $2,224,000 increase in mortgage fee income and a $735,000 increase in net investment income. Insurance premiums and other considerations decreased by $327,000, or 9.0%, to $3,321,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000, from $3,648,000 for the comparable period in 1999. This decrease was primarily the result of a reduction in universal life policyholder income. Net investment income increased by $735,000, or 31.7%, to $3,052,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000, from $2,317,000 for the comparable period in 1999. This increase was primarily attributable to a greater number of loan originations during the third quarter of 2000, due to the expansion of business activities in new geographic markets. Net mortuary and cemetery sales decreased by $33,000, or 1.4%, to $2,346,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000, from $2,379,000 for the comparable period in 1999. This decrease was primarily due to fewer pre-need cemetery sales. Mortgage fee income increased by $2,224,000, or 59.1%, to $5,987,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000, from $3,763,000 for the comparable period in 1999. This increase was primarily attributable to a greater number of loan originations during the third quarter of 2000 due to the expansion of business activities in new geographic markets. Total benefits and expenses were $14,410,000, or 97.8% of total revenues for the three months ended September 30 2000, as compared to $11,552,000, or 95.0% of total revenues for the comparable period in 1999. Death benefits, surrenders and other policy benefits, and increase in future policy benefits increased by an aggregate of $423,000, or 17.7%, to $2,808,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000, from $2,385,000 for the comparable period in 1999. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in interest crediting for policyholder account balances. Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and cost of insurance acquired decreased by $4,000, or .3%, to $1,242,000, for the three months ended September 30, 2000, from $1,246,000 for the comparable period in 1999. This decrease was in line with actuarial assumptions. General and administrative expenses increased by $2,198,000 or 32.2%, to $9,023,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000, from $6,825,000 for the comparable period in 1999. This increase primarily resulted from an increase in commissions and other expenses due to additional mortgage loan originations having been made by the Company's mortgage subsidiary during the third quarter of 2000 as a result of the expansion of its business activities in new geographic markets. 11

Interest expense increased by $288,000, or 94.5%, to $593,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000, from $305,000 for the comparable period in 1999. This increase was primarily due to additional warehouse lines of credit required for the additional mortgage loan originations by the Company's mortgage subsidiary. Cost of goods and services sold of the mortuaries and cemeteries decreased by $48,000, or 6.0%, to $743,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000, from $791,000 for the comparable period in 1999. This decrease was primarily due to fewer pre-need cemetery sales. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's life insurance subsidiaries 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 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 predominantly in fixed maturity securities, mortgage loans, 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 subsidiaries. Bonds owned by the life insurance subsidiaries amounted to $63,631,000 as of September 30, 2000, compared to $63,749,000 as of December 31, 1999. This represents 59.4% and 58.5% of the total insurance-related investments as of September 30, 2000, and December 31, 1999, respectively. Generally, all bonds owned by the life insurance subsidiaries are rated by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. Under this rating system, there are six categories used for rating bonds. At September 30, 2000, 1.6% ($994,000) and at December 31, 1999, 1.6% ($994,000) of the Company's total investment in bonds were invested in bonds in rating categories three through six, which are considered non-investment grade. The Company has classified certain of its fixed income securities, including high-yield securities, in its portfolio as available for sale, with the remainder classified as held to maturity. However, in accordance with Company policy, any such securities purchased in the future will be classified as held 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 higher-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 September 30, 2000, and December 31, 1999, the life insurance subsidiary exceeded the regulatory criteria. The Company's total capitalization of stockholders' equity and bank debt and notes payable was $39,355,000 as of September 30, 2000, as compared to $41,144,000 as of December 31, 1999. Stockholders' equity as a percent of capitalization increased to 67.0% as of September 30, 2000, from 64.4% as of December 31, 1999. 12

Lapse rates measure the amount of insurance terminated during a particular period. The Company's lapse rate for life insurance in 1999 was 13.2% as compared to a rate of 6.0% for 1998. The 2000 lapse rate is approximately the same as 1999. At September 30, 2000, $20,819,000 of the Company's consolidated stockholders' equity represents the statutory stockholders' equity of the Company's life insurance subsidiaries. The life insurance subsidiaries cannot pay a dividend to its parent company without the approval of insurance regulatory authorities. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure of Market Risk There have been no significant changes since the annual report Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 1999. Part II Other Information: Item 1. Legal Proceedings Security National Mortgage Company ("Security National Mortgage"), a wholly- owned subsidiary of the Company, has been notified that it may be subject to an administrative action by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"). By way of letter from HUD to Security National Mortgage dated February 15, 2000 and received on February 25, 2000, Security National Mortgage was advised "that the Mortgagee Review Board" of HUD "is considering an administrative action against Security National Mortgage ... pursuant to 24 CFR Part 25 ... and a civil money penalty pursuant to 24 CFR part 30 ...." In the letter, HUD set forth alleged violations of HUD/Federal Housing Administration ("FHA") requirements which included among such violations: (1) failure to comply with Security National Mortgage's own policy and procedures outlined in a July 17, 1997 letter to HUD; (2) acceptance of loans originated by personnel not employed by or not exclusively employed by Security National Mortgage; (3) acceptance of loans originated by non-HUD approved entities; (4) payment of fees and compensation to unauthorized entities or individuals in connection with FHA insured mortgages; and (5) certification of inaccurate HUD-1s. Concerning the administrative action by HUD relating to the above allegations, dependent upon the facts and circumstances, HUD asserts it has alternatives such as settlement, issuing a letter of reprimand, placing Security National Mortgage on probation or even suspending or withdrawing Security National Mortgage's approval function as a HUD/FHA lender. The letter indicates that the Mortgagee Review Board intends to seek a civil money penalty. With respect to any civil money penalty, which would be in addition to the foregoing, the letter from HUD states that the "amount of the civil money penalty shall not exceed $5,500 for each such listed or described violation" and that a "continuing violation may constitute a separate violation for each day that violation continues." A settlement was entered into between HUD and the Company. Included in the settlement is an indemnification of HUD relative to 18 identified loans including the providing of an irrevocable letter of credit in the amount of $30,000 as additional security for the indemnification, and payment of $75,000 as a civil money penalty. On or about March 6, 2000, Kelly Darrow ("Darrow") filed a Charge of Discrimination with the Labor Commission of Utah, Anti-Discrimination Division against Security National Mortgage Company. It is asserted that Security National Mortgage violated the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ("ADA") as amended, and the Utah Anti-Discrimination Act of 1965 ("UAD") as amended, for the alleged reasons of "demoted, denied promotion, 13

received less pay than others, denied reasonable accommodation for ... disability, forced to go on contract vendor status, and when ... complained of the treatment ... was fired." Darrow withdrew the charge in favor of a "right to sue letter" so as to be able to file a suit in federal court. Remedies which may be sought include back pay and benefits, attorneys' fees, reinstatement and punitive damages. This matter has been settled. The Company is not a party to any other legal proceedings outside the ordinary course of the Company's business or to any other legal proceedings which, adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on the Company or its business.
