PART I Item 1. Business Security National Financial Corporation (the "Company") operates in three main business segments: life insurance, cemetery and mortuary, and mortgage loans. The life insurance segment is engaged in the business of selling and servicing selected lines of life insurance, annuity products and accident and health insurance. These products are marketed in 34 states through a commissioned sales force of independent licensed insurance agents who may also sell insurance products of other companies. The cemetery and mortuary segment of the Company consists of five cemeteries in the state of Utah and one in the state of California and eight mortuaries in the state of Utah and six in the state of Arizona. The Company also engages in pre-need selling of funeral, cemetery and cremation services through its Utah operations. Many of the insurance agents also sell pre-need funeral, cemetery and cremation services. The mortgage loan segment is an approved governmental and conventional lender that originates and underwrites residential and commercial loans for new construction and existing homes and real estate projects. The design and structure of the Company is that each segment is related to the others and contributes to the profitability of the other segments of the Company. Because of the increasing cemetery and mortuary operations in Utah and Arizona, the Company enjoys a level of public awareness that assists in the sales and marketing of insurance and pre-need cemetery and funeral products. Security National Life Insurance Company ("Security National Life") invests its assets (representing in part the pre-paid funerals) in investments authorized by the Insurance Departments of the States of Florida and Utah. One such investment authorized by the Insurance Departments is high quality mortgage loans. Thus, while each segment is a profit center on a stand-alone basis, this horizontal integration of each segment will lead to improved profitability of the Company. The Company is also pursuing growth through acquisitions of both life insurance companies and cemeteries and mortuaries. The Company's acquisition business plan is based on reducing overhead cost of the acquired company by utilizing existing personnel, management, and technology while still providing quality service to the customers and policyholders. The Company was organized as a holding company in 1979 when Security National Life became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the former stockholders of Security National Life became stockholders of the Company. Security National Life was formed in 1965 and has grown through the direct sale of life insurance and annuities and through the acquisition of other insurance companies, including the acquisitions of Capital Investors Life Insurance Company in December 1994, Civil Service Employees Life Insurance Company in December 1995 and Southern Security Life Insurance Company in December 1998. Memorial Estates, Inc. and Memorial Mortuary became direct subsidiaries of the Company in the 1979 reorganization when the Company was formed. These companies were acquired by Security National Life in 1973. The cemetery and mortuary operations have also grown through the acquisition of other cemetery and mortuary companies, including the acquisitions of Paradise Chapel Funeral Home, Inc. in 1989, Holladay Memorial Park, Inc., Cottonwood Mortuary, Inc. and Deseret Memorial, Inc. in 1991, Sunset Funeral Home in January 1994, Greer-Wilson Funeral Home, Inc. in April 1995 and Crystal Rose Funeral Home in February 1997. In July 1993, the Company formed Security National Mortgage Company ("Security National Mortgage") to originate and refinance mortgage loans. See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional disclosure and discussion regarding segments of the business. Life Insurance Products The Company, through its insurance subsidiaries, Security National Life and Southern Security Life Insurance Company, issues and distributes selected lines of life insurance and annuities. The Company's life insurance business includes funeral plans and interest-sensitive whole life insurance, as well as other traditional life and accident and health insurance products but places specific marketing emphasis on funeral plans.
A funeral plan is a small face value life insurance policy that generally has a face coverage of up to $5,000. The Company believes that funeral plans represent a marketing niche that has lower competition since most insurance companies do not offer similar coverages. The purpose of the funeral plan policy is to pay the costs and expenses incurred at the time of a person's death. On a per thousand dollar cost of insurance basis, these policies are more expensive to the policyholder than many types of non-burial insurance due to their low face amount, requiring the fixed cost of the policy to be distributed over a smaller policy size, and due to the simplified underwriting practices resulting in higher mortality costs. Markets and Distribution The Company is licensed to sell insurance in 34 states. The Company, in marketing its life insurance products, seeks to locate, develop and service specific "niche" markets. A "niche" market is an identifiable market which the Company believes is not emphasized by most insurers. The Company generally sells its life insurance products to people of middle age who have a need for insurance to protect the income of the wage earner of the family, to pay off debts at the time of death and for other estate planning purposes. Funeral plan policies are sold primarily to persons who range in age from 45 to 75. Even though people of all ages and income levels purchase funeral plans, the Company believes that the highest percentage of funeral plan purchasers are individuals who are older than 45 and have low to moderate income. A majority of the Company's funeral plan premiums come from the states of Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Oklahoma, Texas and Utah, and a majority of the Company's non-funeral plan life insurance premiums come from the states of Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, New Mexico, South Carolina and Utah. The Company sells its life insurance products through direct agents and brokers and independent licensed agents who may also sell insurance products of other companies. The commissions on life insurance products range from approximately 10% to 90% of first year premiums. In those cases where the Company utilizes its direct agents in selling such policies, those agents customarily receive advances against future commissions. In some instances, funeral plan insurance is marketed in conjunction with the Company's cemetery and mortuary sales force. When it is marketed by that group, the beneficiary is usually the Company. Thus, death benefits that become payable under the policy are paid to the Company's cemetery and mortuary subsidiaries to the extent of services performed and products purchased. In marketing the funeral plan insurance, the Company also seeks and obtains third-party endorsements from other cemeteries and mortuaries within its marketing areas. Typically, these cemeteries and mortuaries will provide letters of endorsement and may share in mailing and other lead-generating costs. The incentive for such businesses to share the costs is that these businesses are usually made the beneficiary of the policy. The following table summarizes the life insurance business for the five years ended December 31, 2000: 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 -------- --------- -------- -------- --------- Life Insurance Policy/Cert.

Underwriting Factors considered in evaluating an application for insurance coverage include the applicant's age, occupation, general health and medical history. Upon receipt of a satisfactory application, which contains pertinent medical questions, the Company writes insurance that is based on its medical limits and requirements on a basis satisfactory to the reinsuring company (or companies, if submitted facultatively), subject to the following general non-medical limits: Age Nearest Non-Medical Birthday Limits ------------ ---------------- 0-50 $75,000 51-up Exam Required When underwriting life insurance, the Company will sometimes issue policies with higher premium rates for substandard risks. In addition to the Company's ordinary life product line, the Company also sells final expense insurance. This insurance is a small face amount, with a maximum issue of $10,000. It is written on a simplified medical application with underwriting requirements being a completed application, a phone inspection on each applicant and a Medical Information Bureau inquiry. There are several underwriting classes in which an applicant can be placed. If the Company receives conflicting or incomplete underwriting information, an attending physician's statement can be ordered to insure the applicant is placed in the correct underwriting class. Annuities Products The Company's annuity business includes single premium deferred annuities, flexible premium deferred annuities and immediate annuities. A single premium deferred annuity is a contract where the individual remits a sum of money to the Company, which is retained on deposit until such time as the individual may wish to purchase an immediate annuity or surrender the contract for cash. A flexible premium deferred annuity gives the contract holder the right to make premium payments of varying amounts or to make no further premium payments after his initial payment. These single and flexible premium deferred annuities can have initial surrender charges. The surrender charges act as a deterrent to individuals who may wish to surrender their annuity contracts. These types of annuities have guaranteed interest rates of 4% to 4 1/2% per annum. Above that, the interest rate credited is periodically determined by the Board of Directors at their discretion. An immediate annuity is a contract in which the individual remits to the Company a sum of money in return for the Company's obligation to pay a series of payments on a periodic basis over a designated period of time, such as an individual's life, or for such other period as may be designated. Holders of annuities enjoy a significant benefit under the current federal income tax law in that interest accretions that are credited to the annuities do not incur current income tax expense on the part of the contract holder. Instead, the interest income is tax deferred until such time as it is paid out to the contract holder. In order for the Company to realize a profit on an annuity product, the Company must maintain an interest rate spread between its investment income and the interest rate credited to the annuities. From that spread must be deducted commissions, issuance expenses and general and administrative expenses. The Company's annuities currently have credited interest rates ranging from 4% to 6 1/2%.
Markets and Distribution The general market for all of the Company's annuities is middle to older age individuals who wish to save or invest their money in a tax deferred environment, having relatively high yields. The Company currently markets its annuities primarily in the states of Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas and Utah. The major source of annuity considerations comes from direct agents. Annuities can be sold as a by-product of other insurance sales. This is particularly true in the funeral planning area. If an individual does not qualify for a funeral plan due to health considerations, the agent will often sell that individual an annuity to take care of those final expenses. The commission rates on annuities range from 2% to 10%. The following table summarizes the annuity business for the five years ended December 31, 2000: 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 -------- -------- ------- ------- ------- Annuities Policy/Cert. Count as of December 31 8,443(1) 8,369(1) 7,890(1) 7,434 7,049 Deposits Collected (omitted 000) 3,039(1) 3,906(1) 2,770 2,521 2,859 (1) Includes acquisition of Southern Security Life Insurance Company on December 17, 1998. Accident and Health Products Prior to the acquisition of Capital Investors Life in December 1994, the Company did not actively market accident and health products. With the acquisition of Capital Investors Life, the Company acquired a block of accident and health policies which pay limited benefits to policyholders. The Company is currently offering a low-cost comprehensive diver's accident policy and a limited cancer benefit policy. The diver's policy provides world-wide coverage for medical expense reimbursement and life insurance in the event of diving or water sports accidents. The cancer policy provides a lump sum payment for the occurrence of cancer. Markets and Distribution The Company currently markets its diver's policy through water sports magazine advertising and dive shops throughout the world. The Company pays direct commissions ranging from 15% to 30% for new business generated. The following table summarizes the accident and health business for the five years ended December 31, 2000: 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 -------- ------- -------- ------- ------- Accident and Health Policy/Cert. Count as of December 31 21,454(1) 24,078(1) 27,201(1) 30,250 33,639 Premiums Collected (omitted 000) 464(1) 549(1) 375 430 493 (1) Includes acquisition of Southern Security Life Insurance Company on December 17, 1998.
Reinsurance The Company reinsures with other companies portions of the individual life insurance and accident and health policies it has underwritten. The primary purpose of reinsurance is to enable an insurance company to write a policy in an amount larger than the risk it is willing to assume for itself. No other liabilities or guarantees by the Company exist on business ceded through reinsurance treaties; however, the Company remains obligated for amounts ceded in the event the reinsurers do not meet their obligations. There is no assurance that the reinsurer will be able to meet the obligations assumed by it under the reinsurance agreement. The Company's policy is to retain no more than $50,000 of ordinary insurance per insured life. Excess risk is reinsured. The total amount of life insurance in force at December 31, 2000, reinsured by other companies aggregated $253,698,000, representing approximately 12.4% of the Company's life insurance in force on that date. The Company currently cedes and assumes certain risks with various authorized unaffiliated reinsurers pursuant to reinsurance treaties which are renewable annually. The premiums paid by the Company are based on a number of factors, primarily including the age of the insured and the risk ceded to the reinsurer. Investments The investments that support the Company's life insurance and annuity obligations are determined by the Investment Committee of the Board of Directors of the various subsidiaries and ratified by the full Board of Directors of the respective subsidiaries. A significant portion of the investments must meet statutory requirements governing the nature and quality of permitted investments by insurance companies. The Company's interest-sensitive type products, primarily annuities and interest-sensitive whole life, compete with other financial products such as bank certificates of deposit, brokerage sponsored money market funds as well as competing life insurance company products. While it is not the Company's policy to offer the highest yield in this climate, in order to offer what the Company considers to be a competitive yield, it maintains a diversified portfolio consisting of common stocks, preferred stocks, municipal bonds, investment and non-investment grade bonds including high-yield issues, mortgage loans, real estate, short-term and other securities and investments. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition" and "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional disclosure and discussion regarding investments. Cemetery and Mortuary Products The Company has six wholly-owned cemeteries and fourteen wholly-owned mortuaries. The cemeteries are non-denominational. Through its cemetery and mortuary operations, the Company markets a variety of products and services both on a pre-need basis (prior to death) and an at-need basis (at the time of death). The products include grave spaces, interment vaults, mausoleum crypts and niches, markers, caskets, flowers and other related products. The services include professional services of funeral directors, opening and closing of graves, use of chapels and viewing rooms, and use of automobiles and clothing. The Company has a funeral chapel at each of its cemeteries other than Holladay Memorial Park and Singing Hills Memorial Park and has ten separate stand-alone mortuary facilities. The Company's cemetery and mortuary business increased with the acquisition of Holladay Memorial Park, Inc., Cottonwood Mortuary, Inc. and Deseret Memorial, Inc. in September 1991, the acquisition of Sunset Funeral Home, Inc. in January 1994, the acquisition of Greer-Wilson Funeral Home, Inc. in April 1995, and the acquisition of Crystal Rose Funeral Home in February 1997.
Markets and Distribution The Company's pre-need cemetery and mortuary sales are marketed to persons of all ages but are generally purchased by persons 45 years of age and older. The Company also markets its mortuary and cemetery products on an at-need basis. The Company is limited in its geographic distribution of these products to areas lying within an approximate 20 mile radius of its mortuaries and cemeteries. The Company's at-need sales are similarly limited in geographic area. The Company actively seeks to sell its cemetery and funeral products to customers on a pre-need basis. The Company employs cemetery sales representatives on a commission basis to sell these products. Many of these pre-need cemetery and mortuary sales representatives are also licensed insurance salesmen and sell funeral plan insurance. In many instances, the Company's cemetery and mortuary facilities are the named beneficiary of the funeral plan policies. The sales representatives of the Company's cemetery and mortuary operations are commissioned and receive no salary. The sales commissions range from 10% to 22% for cemetery products and services and 10% to 90% of first year premiums for funeral plan insurance. Potential customers are located via telephone sales prospecting, responses to letters mailed by the sales representatives, newspaper inserts, referrals, contacts made at funeral services, and door to door canvassing. The Company trains its sales representatives and generates leads for them. If a customer comes to one of the Company's cemeteries on an at-need basis, the sales representatives are compensated on a commission basis. Mortgage Loans Products The Company, through its mortgage subsidiary, Security National Mortgage Company, originates and underwrites residential and commercial loans for new construction and existing homes and real estate projects. The Company is an approved government guaranteed and conventional lender and processes government guaranteed and conventional loans. Most of the loans are sold directly to investors. The Company has available warehouse lines of credit with affiliated companies and an unaffiliated financial institution to fund mortgage loans prior to the purchase by investors. Markets and Distribution The Company's mortgage lending services are marketed primarily to individual homeowners and businesses who are located in the area known as the "Wasatch Front," covering approximately 100 miles between Provo, Salt Lake City and Ogden, Utah, with the greatest concentration of sales being in the greater Salt Lake City area and in Valencia and Sacramento, California, Orlando, Florida and Colorado Springs, Colorado. The typical loan size for residential loans ranges from $40,000 to $150,000, and for commercial loans from $200,000 to $750,000. The Company's mortgage loan originations are through full time mortgage loan officers and wholesale brokers who are paid a sales commission ranging between .40% to 3.0% of the loan amount. Prospective customers are located through contacts with builders, real estate agents, and door-to-door canvassing. Recent Acquisitions and Other Business Activities Menlo Life Insurance Company On June 30, 1999 the Company entered into a Coinsurance and Assumption Agreement (the "Agreement") with Menlo Life Insurance Company ("Menlo Life"), wherein the Company has assumed 100% of the policies in force of Menlo Life. The Agreement was not in effect until it was approved by Menlo Life's domiciled state of Arizona and the state of California. These approvals were obtained on September 9, 1999 for the Arizona Insurance Department, and on December 9, 1999 for the California Insurance Department.
SSLIC Holding Company On December 17, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of SSLIC Holding Company, (formerly Consolidare Enterprises, Inc.), a Florida corporation ("SSLIC Holding") pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement which the Company entered into on April 17, 1998 with SSLIC Holding and certain shareholders of SSLIC Holding for the purchase of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of SSLIC Holding and all of the outstanding shares of stock of Insurandyne Corp., a Florida Corporation ("Insuradyne"). As of December 31, 2000, SSLIC Holding owns approximately 71.5% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Southern Security Life Insurance Company, a Florida corporation ("Southern Security"). Southern Security is a Florida domiciled insurance company with total assets as of December 31, 2000, of approximately $77.1 million. Southern Security is currently licensed to transact business in 14 states. Southern Security is also a reporting company under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Reference is made to Southern Security's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, which was filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on April 12, 2001, Commission File No. 2-35669. Crystal Rose Funeral Home In February 1997, the Company purchased all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Crystal Rose Funeral Home, Inc. ("Crystal Rose"), an Arizona corporation. In connection with this transaction, the Company also acquired certain real estate and other assets related to the business of Crystal Rose from the sole stockholder of Crystal Rose. The Company continues to operate Crystal Rose, which is located in Tolleson, Arizona, as a funeral home and mortuary. Regulation The Company's insurance subsidiaries, Security National Life and Southern Security, are subject to comprehensive regulation in the jurisdictions in which it does business under statutes and regulations administered by state insurance commissioners. Such regulation relates to, among other things, prior approval of the acquisition of a controlling interest in an insurance company; standards of solvency which must be met and maintained; licensing of insurers and their agents; nature of and limitations on investments; deposits of securities for the benefit of policyholders; approval of policy forms and premium rates; periodic examinations of the affairs of insurance companies; annual and other reports required to be filed on the financial condition of insurers or for other purposes; and requirements regarding aggregate reserves for life policies and annuity contracts, policy claims, unearned premiums, and other matters. The Company's insurance subsidiaries are subject to this type of regulation in any state in which they are licensed to do business. Such regulation could involve additional costs, restrict operations or delay implementation of the Company's business plans. The Company is currently subject to regulation in Utah under insurance holding company legislation, and other states where applicable. Intercorporate transfers of assets and dividend payments from its insurance subsidiaries are subject to prior notice of approval from the State Insurance Department, if they are deemed "extraordinary" under these statutes. The insurance subsidiaries are required, under state insurance laws, to file detailed annual reports with the supervisory agencies in each of the states in which it does business. Their business and accounts are also subject to examination by these agencies. The Company's cemetery and mortuary subsidiaries are subject to the Federal Trade Commission's comprehensive funeral industry rules and are subject to state regulations in the various states where such operations are domiciled. The morticians must be licensed by the respective state in which they provide their services. Similarly, the mortuaries are governed by state statutes and city
ordinances in both Utah and Arizona. Reports are required to be kept on file on a yearly basis which include financial information concerning the number of spaces sold and, where applicable, funds provided to the Endowment Care Trust Fund. Licenses are issued annually on the basis of such reports. The cemeteries maintain city or county licenses where they conduct business. The Company's mortgage loan subsidiary, Security National Mortgage, is subject to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. These regulations among other things specify the procedures for the origination, the underwriting, the licensing of wholesale brokers, quality review audits and the amounts that can be charged to borrowers for all FHA and VA loans. Each year the Company must have an audit by an independent CPA firm to verify compliance under these regulations. In addition to the government regulations, the Company must meet loan requirements of various investors who purchase the loans before the loans can be sold to the investors. Income Taxes The Company's insurance subsidiaries, Security National Life and Southern Security, are taxed under the Life Insurance Company Tax Act of 1984. Pursuant thereto, life insurance companies are taxed at standard corporate rates on life insurance company taxable income. Life insurance company taxable income is gross income less general business deductions, reserves for future policyholder benefits (with modifications), and a small life insurance company deduction (up to 60% of life insurance company taxable income). The Company may be subject to the corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). The exposure to AMT is primarily a result of the small life insurance company deduction. Also, under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, distributions in excess of stockholder's surplus account or significant decrease in life reserves will result in taxable income. Security National Life and Southern Security may continue to receive the benefit of the small life insurance company deduction. In order to qualify for the small company deduction, the combined assets of the Company must be less than $500,000,000 and the taxable income of the life insurance companies must be less than $3,000,000. To the extent that the net income limitation is exceeded, then the small life insurance company deduction is phased out over the next $12,000,000 of life insurance company taxable income. Since 1990, Security National Life and Southern Security have computed their life insurance taxable income after establishing a provision representing a portion of the costs of acquisition of such life insurance business. The effect of the provision is that a certain percentage of the Company's premium income is characterized as deferred expenses and recognized over a five to ten year period. The Company's non-life insurance company subsidiaries are taxed in general under the regular corporate tax provisions. For taxable years beginning January 1, 1987, the Company may be subject to the Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax and the proportionate disallowance rules for installment sales under the Tax Reform Act of 1986. Competition The life insurance industry is highly competitive. There are approximately 2,000 legal reserve life insurance companies in business in the United States. These insurance companies differentiate themselves through marketing techniques, product features, price and customer service. The Company's insurance subsidiaries compete with a large number of insurance companies, many of which have greater financial resources, a longer business history, and a more diversified line of insurance coverage than the Company. In addition, such companies generally have a larger sales force. Further, many of the companies with which the Company competes are mutual companies which may have a competitive advantage because all profits accrue to policyholders. Because the Company is
small by industry standards and lacks broad diversification of risk, it may be more vulnerable to losses than larger, better established companies. The Company believes that its policies and rates for the markets it serves are generally competitive. The cemetery and mortuary industry is also highly competitive. In the Salt Lake City, Phoenix and San Diego areas in which the Company competes, there are a number of cemeteries and mortuaries which have longer business histories, more established positions in the community and stronger financial positions than the Company. In addition, some of the cemeteries with which the Company must compete for sales are owned by municipalities and, as a result, can offer lower prices than can the Company. The Company bears the cost of a pre-need sales program that is not incurred by those competitors that do not have a pre-need sales force. The Company believes that its products and prices are generally competitive with those in the industry. The mortgage loan industry is highly competitive with several mortgage companies and banks in the same geographic area in which the Company is operating which have longer business histories and more established positions in the community. The refinancing market is particularly vulnerable to changes in interest rates. Employees As of December 31, 2000, the Company employed 240 full-time and 28 part-time employees. Item 2.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 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 lower interest rates by originating and refinancing mortgage loans. On December 17, 1998, the Company purchased all of the outstanding shares of common stock of SSLIC Holding Company ("SSLIC Holding") (formerly "Consolidare Enterprises, Inc.") and Insuradyne Corporation ("Insuradyne") for a total cost of $12,248,194. As of December 31, 2000, SSLIC Holding owns approximately 71.5% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Southern Security Life Insurance Company ("Southern Security"). The purchase of SSLIC Holding, including Insuradyne, was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Thus the results of operations of the Company for the twelve months ended December 31, 1998 do not include the results of SSLIC Holding and Insuradyne. In the Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Results of Operations, the results of SSLIC Holding and Insuradyne for the twelve months ended December 31, 1999 have been excluded. The following Consolidated Statements of Earnings shows the effect of excluding the results of SSLIC Holding and Insuradyne for the twelve months ended December 31, 1999.

Results of Operations 2000 Compared to 1999 Total revenues increased by $9,356,000, or 18.8%, from $49,657,000 for fiscal year 1999 to $59,013,000 for fiscal year 2000. Contributing to this increase in total revenues was a $1,505,000 increase in net investment income, a $173,000 increase in net mortuary and cemetery sales, a $8,418,000 increase in mortgage fee income, and a $111,000 increase in realized gains on investments and other assets. Insurance premiums and other considerations decreased by $300,000, from $13,176,000 in 1999 to $12,876,000 in 2000. This reduction was primarily the result of a change in the sales mix of the Company's insurance subsidiary, Southern Security. Since March 1998, Southern Security has sold more final expense policies, which have lower face amounts, than universal life products, which have larger face amounts. Consequently, the insurance revenues from final expense products were less than those from universal life products. Net investment income increased by $1,505,000 from $10,631,000 in 1999 to $12,136,000 in 2000. This increase was primarily attributable to more loan originations made by the Company's mortgage subsidiary in 2000 due to the expansion of business activities in new geographic markets. Net mortuary and cemetery sales increased by $173,000 from $10,178,000 in 1999 to $10,351,000 in 2000. This increase was primarily from additional at-need sales. Mortgage fee income increased by $8,418,000, from $14,504,000 in 1999 to $22,922,000 in 2000. This increase was primarily the result of an increased number of loan originations made by the Company's mortgage subsidiary in 2000. Other revenue decreased by $551,000 from $856,000 in 1999 to $305,000 in 2000. This reduction was primarily the result of having received proceeds in 1999 from insurance claims filed for the recovery of the costs to litigate a case against a former officer of the Company's insurance subsidiary, Southern Security. Total benefits and expenses were $57,767,000 for 2000, which constituted 97.9% of the Company's total revenues, as compared to $48,207,000, or 97.1 of the Company's total revenues for 1999. During 2000, there was a net increase of $955,000 in death benefits, surrender and other policy benefits, and an increase in future policy benefits from $11,976,000 in 1999 to $12,931,000 in 2000. This increase was primarily due to additional interest credited on annuities and reserve increases on traditional products. This increase was reasonable based on the underlying actuarial assumptions. Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and cost of insurance acquired decreased by $1,669,000 from $4,858,000 in 1999 to $3,189,000 in 2000. This decrease was primarily due to adjusting the amortization rate to current assumptions at the Company's insurance subsidiary, Southern Security. General and administrative expenses increased by $9,103,000, from $26,959,000 in 1999 to $36,062,000 in 2000. Contributing to this increase was a $6,666,000 increase in commission expenses from $11,851,000 in 1999 to $18,517,000 in 2000. Salaries increased $258,000 from $7,409,000 in 1999 to $7,667,000 in 2000. Other expenses increased $2,179,000, from $7,699,000 in 1999 to $9,878,000 in 2000. These increases were primarily the result of an increased number of loan originations made by the Company's mortgage subsidiary in 2000. Interest expense increased by $1,007,000, from $1,119,000 in 1999 to $2,126,000 in 2000. This increase was primarily due to more loan originations from the Company's mortgage subsidiary being funded by third parties in 2000. Cost of the mortuary and cemetery goods and services sold increased by $164,000, from $3,295,000 in 1999 to $3,459,000 in 2000. This increase was primarily due to the increase in at-need sales.
1999 Compared to 1998 (See Overview for an explanation of this comparison. SSLIC Holding Company, Southern Security and Insuradyne results from operations for 1999 have been excluded) Total revenues increased by $6,282,000, or 19.1%, from $32,820,000 for fiscal year 1998 to $39,102,000 for fiscal year 1999. Contributing to this increase in total revenues was a $359,000 increase in insurance premiums and other considerations, a $234,000 increase in net investment income, a $952,000 increase in net mortuary and cemetery sales, a $4,421,000 increase in mortgage fee income, and a $239,000 increase in realized gains on investments and other assets. Insurance premiums and other considerations increased by $359,000, from $5,915,000 in 1998 to $6,274,000 in 1999. This increase was primarily attributed to additional new business. Net investment income increased by $234,000, from $7,459,000 in 1998 to $7,693,000 in 1999. This increase was primarily the result of the reinvestment of the Company's bonds which matured or were called in 1999 into mortgage loans having higher long-term rates. Net mortuary and cemetery sales increased by $952,000, from $9,226,000 in 1998 to $10,178,000 in 1999. This increase was primarily from additional pre-need and at-need sales. Mortgage fee income increased by $4,421,000, from $10,082,000 in 1998 to $14,503,000 in 1999. This increase was primarily attributable to more loan originations made by the Company's mortgage subsidiary in 1999 due to the expansion of business activities in new geographic markets. Total benefits and expenses were $38,065,000 for 1999, which constituted 97% of the Company's total revenues, as compared to $31,794,000, or 97% of the Company's total revenues for 1998. During 1999, there was a net increase of $590,000 in death benefits, surrender and other policy benefits, and an increase in future policy benefits from $6,932,000 in 1998 to $7,522,000 in 1999. This increase was primarily due to additional interest credited on annuities and reserve increases on traditional products and additional death claims. These increases were reasonable based on the underlying actuarial assumptions. Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and cost of insurance acquired decreased by $8,000, from $1,273,000 in 1998 to $1,265,000 in 1999. This decrease was reasonable based on the underlying actuarial assumptions. General and administrative expenses increased by $5,331,000, from $19,649,000 in 1998 to $24,980,000 in 1999. Commission expenses increased by $3,868,000, from $7,618,000 in 1998 to $11,486,000 in 1999. Salaries increased $987,000 from $5,359,000 in 1998 to $6,346,000 in 1999. Other expenses increased $477,000, from $6,671,000 in 1998 to $7,148,000 in 1999. These increases were primarily the result of an increased number of loan originations made by the Company's mortgage subsidiary in 1999. Interest expense increased by $3,000, from $999,000 in 1998 to $1,002,000 in 1999. This increase was primarily due to more loan originations from the Company's mortgage subsidiary being funded by third parties in 1999. Cost of the mortuary and cemetery goods and services sold increased by $355,000, from $2,940,000 in 1998 to $3,295,000 in 1999. This increase was primarily due to the increase in pre-need and at-need 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 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, 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 insurance subsidiaries amounted to $62,889,000 as of December 31, 2000 compared to $63,749,000 as of December 31, 1999. This represents 60% of the total insurance related investments in 2000 as compared to 59% in 1999. Generally, all bonds owned by the life insurance subsidiaries are rated by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). Under this rating system, there are six categories used for rating bonds. At December 31, 2000, .68% ($429,000) and at December 31, 1999, 1.56% ($994,000) of the Company's total bond investments were invested in bonds in rating categories three through six which are considered non-investment grade. If market conditions were to cause interest rates to change, the market value of the fixed income portfolio (approximately $80,263,000) could change by the following amounts based on the respective basis point swing (the change in the market values were calculated using a modeling technique): -200 bps -100 bps +100 bps +200 bps Change in Market Value (in thousands) $4,441 $2,932 $(3,881) $(9,184) 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 December 31, 2000 and 1999, the life subsidiaries exceeded the regulatory criteria. The Company's total capitalization of stockholders' equity and bank debt and notes payable was $40,787,000 and $41,143,000 as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Stockholders' equity as a percent of total capitalization was 66% and 64% as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Lapse rates measure the amount of insurance terminated during a particular period. The Company's lapse rate for life insurance in 2000 was 15%, as compared to a rate of 10% in 1999. In February 1997, the Company purchased all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Crystal Rose Funeral Home, Inc. for a total consideration of $382,000, which included a note to the former owner in the amount of $297,000.
On December 17, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of Consolidare Enterprises, Inc., a Florida corporation ("Consolidare") pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement which the Company entered into on April 17, 1998 with Consolidare and certain shareholders of Consolidare for the purchase of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Consolidare. Consolidare owns approximately 71.5% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Southern Security Life Insurance Company, a Florida corporation ("SSLIC"), and all of the outstanding shares of stock of Insuradyne Corp., a Florida corporation ("Insuradyne"). As consideration for the purchase of the shares of Consolidare, the Company paid to the stockholders of Consolidare at closing an aggregate of $12,248,194. In order to pay the purchase consideration, the Company obtained $6,250,000 from bank financing, with the balance of $5,998,194 obtained from funds then currently held by the Company. In addition to the purchase consideration, the Company caused SSLIC to pay, on the closing date, $1,050,000 to George Pihakis, the President and Chief Executive Officer of SSLIC prior to closing, as a lump sum settlement of the executive compensation agreement between SSLIC and Mr. Pihakis. In connection with the acquisition of Consolidare, the Company entered into an Administrative Services Agreement dated December 17, 1998 with SSLIC. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company has agreed to provide SSLIC with certain defined administrative and financial services, including accounting services, financial reports and statements, actuarial, policyholder services, underwriting, data processing, legal, building management, marketing advisory services and investment services. In consideration for the services to be provided by the Company, SSLIC shall pay the Company an administrative services fee of $250,000 per month, provided, however, that such fee shall be reduced to zero for so long as the capital and surplus of SSLIC is less than or equal to $6,000,000, unless SSLIC and the Company otherwise agree in writing and such agreement is approved by the Florida Department of Insurance. The administrative services fee may be increased, beginning on January 1, 2001, to reflect increases in the Consumer Price Index, over the index amount as of January 1, 2000. The Administrative Services Agreement shall remain in effect for an initial term expiring on December 16, 2003. The term of the agreement may be automatically extended for additional one-year terms unless either the Company or SSLIC shall deliver a written notice on or before September 30 of any year stating to the other its desire not to extend the term of the agreement. However, in no event can the agreement be terminated prior to December 16, 2003. On June 30, 1999 the Company entered into a Coinsurance and Assumption Agreement (the "Agreement") with Menlo Life Insurance Company ("Menlo Life"), wherein the Company has assumed 100% of the policies in force of Menlo Life. The Agreement was not in effect until it was approved by Menlo Life's domiciled state of Arizona and the state of California. These approvals were obtained on September 9, 1999 for the Arizona Insurance Department, and on December 9, 1999 for the California Insurance Department. Menlo Life will pay consideration to the Company in the form of statutory admitted assets to equal the liabilities assumed. The consideration will be paid when the policies in force have been converted onto the Company's computer system. It is anticipated that the conversion will take place during the third quarter of 2001. Until then the policies will be administered by Menlo Life. The net amount to be paid at December 31, 2000, is $2,711,329. At December 31, 2000, $22,715,000 of the Company's consolidated stockholders' equity represents the statutory stockholders' equity of the Company's insurance subsidiaries. The life insurance subsidiaries cannot pay a dividend to its parent company without the approval of insurance regulatory authorities. SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, was issued in June 1998 and amended by SFAS No. 138, issued in June 2000. The requirements of SFAS No. 133, as amended, will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2001. The standard establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. Under the standard, certain contracts that were not formerly considered derivatives may now meet the definition of a derivative. The Company has determined SFAS 133 to have no impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations because the Company has no derivative activity.
SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, was issued in September 2000. SFAS No. 140 is a replacement of SFAS No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 125 were carried forward to SFAS No. 140 without reconsideration by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), and some were changed only in minor ways. In issuing SFAS No. 140, the FASB included issues and decisions that had been addressed and determined since the original publication of SFAS No. 125. SFAS No. 140 is effective for transfers after March 31, 2001. Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 140 to have a significant impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

The mortgage loan segment is an approved governmental and conventional lender that originates and underwrites residential and commercial loans for new construction, existing homes and real estate projects primarily in California, Colorado, Florida and Utah. Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which, for the life insurance subsidiaries, differ from statutory accounting principles prescribed or permitted by regulatory authorities. Risks The following is a description of the most significant risks facing the Company and how it mitigates those risks: Legal/Regulatory Risk - the risk that changes in the legal or regulatory environment in which the Company operates will create additional expenses and/or risks not anticipated by the Company in developing and pricing its products. That is, regulatory initiatives designed to reduce insurer profits, new legal theories or insurance company insolvencies through guaranty fund assessments may create costs for the insurer beyond those recorded in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, changes in tax law with respect to mortgage interest deductions or other public policy or legislative changes may affect the Company's mortgage sales. Also, the Company may be subject to further regulations in the cemetery/mortuary business. The Company mitigates this risk by offering a wide range of products and by diversifying its operations, thus reducing its exposure to any single product or jurisdiction, and also by employing underwriting practices which identify and minimize the adverse impact of such risk. Credit Risk - the risk that issuers of securities owned by the Company or mortgagors of mortgage loans on real estate owned by the Company will default or that other parties, including reinsurers and holders of cemetery/ mortuary contracts which owe the Company money, will not pay. The Company minimizes this risk by adhering to a conservative investment strategy, by maintaining sound reinsurance and credit and collection policies and by providing for any amounts deemed uncollectible. Interest Rate Risk - the risk that interest rates will change which may cause a decrease in the value of the Company's investments or impair the ability of the Company to market its mortgage and cemetery/mortuary products. This change in rates may cause certain interest- sensitive products to become uncompetitive or may cause disintermediation. The Company mitigates this risk by charging fees for non-conformance with certain policy provisions, by offering products that transfer this risk to the purchaser, and/or by attempting to match the maturity schedule of its assets with the expected payouts of its liabilities. To the extent that liabilities come due more quickly than assets mature, the Company might have to borrow funds or sell assets prior to maturity and potentially recognize a gain or loss.
SECURITY NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years Ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998 1) Significant Accounting Principles (Continued) Mortality/Morbidity Risk - the risk that the Company's actuarial assumptions may differ from actual mortality/morbidity experience may cause the Company's products to be underpriced, may cause the Company to liquidate insurance or other claims earlier than anticipated and other potentially adverse consequences to the business. The Company minimizes this risk through sound underwriting practices, asset/liability duration matching, and sound actuarial practices. Estimates 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. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company. The Company's subsidiaries at December 31, 2000, are as follows: Security National Life Insurance Company Security National Mortgage Company Memorial Estates, Inc. Memorial Mortuary Paradise Chapel Funeral Home Singing Hills Memorial Park Cottonwood Mortuary, Inc. Deseret Memorial, Inc. Holladay Cottonwood Memorial Foundation Holladay Memorial Park Camelback Sunset Funeral Home, Inc. Greer-Wilson Funeral Home Crystal Rose Funeral Home Hawaiian Land Holdings SSLIC Holding Company Insuradyne Corporation Southern Security Life Insurance Company (71.5%) All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. On December 17, 1998, the Company purchased all of the outstanding shares of common stock of SSLIC Holding Company (formerly Consolidare Enterprises, Inc.), (SSLIC Holding) and Insuradyne Corporation (Insuradyne) for a total cost of $12,248,194. SSLIC Holding owns approximately 71.5% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Southern Security Life Insurance Company (Southern Security). The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method. The assets and liabilities of SSLIC Holding and Insuradyne have been included in the Company's balance sheet at December 31, 1998. The results of operations of SSLIC Holding and Insuradyne were not material to the financial statements of the Company from the date of acquisition through December 31, 1998 and, consequently, have not been included in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the year then ended.
SECURITY NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years Ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998 1) Significant Accounting Principles (Continued) Investments Investments are shown on the following basis: Fixed maturity securities held to maturity - at cost, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Although the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments to maturity, infrequent and unusual conditions could occur under which it would sell certain of these securities. Those conditions include unforeseen changes in asset quality, significant changes in tax laws, and changes in regulatory capital requirements or permissible investments. Fixed maturity and equity securities available for sale - at fair value, which is based upon quoted trading prices. Changes in fair values net of income taxes are reported as unrealized appreciation or depreciation and recorded as an adjustment directly to stockholders' equity and, accordingly, have no effect on net income. Mortgage loans on real estate - at unpaid principal balances, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount, less allowance for possible losses. Real estate - at cost, less accumulated depreciation provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the properties, and net of allowance for impairment in value, if any. Policy, student, and other loans - at the aggregate unpaid balances. Short-term investments - consists of certificates of deposit and commercial paper with maturities of up to one year. Restricted assets of cemeteries and mortuaries - consists of cash, participations in mortgage loans with Security National Life Insurance Company, and mutual funds carried at cost; fixed maturity securities carried at cost adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount; and equity securities carried at fair market value. Realized gains and losses on investments - realized gains and losses on investments and declines in value considered to be other than temporary, are recognized in operations on the specific identification basis. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from three to thirty years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the useful life or remaining lease terms. Recognition of Insurance Premiums and Other Considerations Premiums for traditional life insurance products (which include those products with fixed and guaranteed premiums and benefits and consist principally of whole life insurance policies, limited-payment life insurance policies, and certain annuities with life contingencies) are recognized as revenues when due from policyholders. Revenues for interest-sensitive insurance policies (which include universal life policies, interest-sensitive life policies, deferred annuities, and annuities without life contingencies) consist of policy charges for the cost of insurance, policy administration charges, and surrender charges assessed against policyholder account balances during the period.
SECURITY NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years Ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998 1) Significant Accounting Principles (Continued) Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs and Cost of Insurance Acquired Commissions and other costs, net of commission and expense allowances for reinsurance ceded, that vary with and are primarily related to the production of new insurance business have been deferred. Deferred policy acquisition costs for traditional life insurance are amortized over the premium-paying period of the related policies using assumptions consistent with those used in computing policy benefit reserves. For interest-sensitive insurance products, deferred policy acquisition costs are amortized generally in proportion to the present value of expected gross profits from surrender charges, investment, mortality and expense margins. This amortization is adjusted when estimates of current or future gross profits to be realized from a group of products are reevaluated. Deferred acquisition costs are written off when policies lapse or are surrendered. Cost of insurance acquired is the present value of estimated future profits of the acquired business and is amortized similar to deferred policy acquisition costs. Future Life, Annuity and Other Policy Benefits Future policy benefit reserves for traditional life insurance are computed using a net level method, including assumptions as to investment yields, mortality, morbidity, withdrawals, and other assumptions based on the life insurance subsidiaries experience, modified as necessary to give effect to anticipated trends and to include provisions for possible unfavorable deviations. Such liabilities are, for some plans, graded to equal statutory values or cash values at or prior to maturity. The range of assumed interest rates for all traditional life insurance policy reserves was 4.5% to 10.0% in 2000, 1999, and 1998. Benefit reserves for traditional limited-payment life insurance policies include the deferred portion of the premiums received during the premium-paying period. Deferred premiums are recognized as income over the life of the policies. Policy benefit claims are charged to expense in the period the claims are incurred. Future policy benefit reserves for interest-sensitive insurance products are computed under a retrospective deposit method and represent policy account balances before applicable surrender charges. Policy benefits and claims that are charged to expense include benefit claims incurred in the period in excess of related policy account balances. Interest crediting rates for interest-sensitive insurance products ranged from 4% to 6.5% in 2000, 1999 and 1998. Participating Insurance Participating business constitutes 6%, 5%, and 4% of insurance in force for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The provision for policyholders' dividends included in policyholder obligations is based on dividend scales anticipated by management. Amounts to be paid are determined by the Board of Directors. Reinsurance The Company follows the procedure of reinsuring risks in excess of $50,000 to provide for greater diversification of business, allow management to control exposure to potential losses arising from large risks, and provide additional capacity for growth. The Company remains liable for amounts ceded in the event the reinsurers are unable to meet their obligations. The Company has entered into coinsurance agreements with unaffiliated insurance companies under which the Company assumed 100% of the risk for certain life insurance policies and certain other policy-related liabilities of the insurance company.
SECURITY NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years Ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998 1)Significant Accounting Principles (Continued) Reinsurance premiums, commissions, expense reimbursements, and reserves related to reinsured business are accounted for on a basis consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. Expense allowances received in connection with reinsurance ceded are accounted for as a reduction of the related policy acquisition costs and are deferred and amortized accordingly. Cemetery and Mortuary Operations Land and improvements used in cemetery operations are stated at cost and charged to operations when sold based on the number of spaces available for sale. Mausoleum costs are charged to operations when sold based on the number of niches available for sale. Perpetual care is maintained on sold spaces as discussed in Note 7. Certain cemetery products are sold on a pre-need basis. Revenues from pre-need cemetery sales are recognized at the time of sale. Related costs required to establish the liability for estimated future costs of pre-need sales are also recorded at the time of sale. This liability relates to promised merchandise and funeral services and is increased or decreased each period as current costs change. A corresponding charge is made to operations to reflect the change in costs. Certain mortuary products and services are also sold on a pre-need basis. Pre-need mortuary sales are fully reserved at the time of the sale. Revenue on pre- need mortuary services is recognized at the time the service is performed. All pre-need sales contracts bear interest at 8%. The Company is required to place specified amounts into restricted asset accounts for products sold on a pre-need basis. Income from assets placed in these restricted asset accounts are used to offset required increases to the estimated future liability. Revenues and costs for at-need sales are recorded when the services are performed. The Company, through its mortuary and cemetery operations, provides a guaranteed funeral arrangement wherein a prospective customer can receive future goods and services at guaranteed prices. To accomplish this, the Company, through its life insurance operations, sells to the customer an increasing benefit life insurance policy that is assigned to the mortuaries. If, at the time of need, the policyholder/potential mortuary customer utilizes one of the Company's facilities, the guaranteed funeral arrangement contract that has been assigned will provide the funeral goods and services at the contracted price. The increasing life insurance policy will cover the difference between the original contract prices and current prices. Risks may arise if the difference cannot be fully met by the life insurance policy. However, management believes that given current inflation rates and related price increases of goods and services, the risk of exposure is minimal. Mortgage Operations Mortgage fee income is generated through the origination and refinancing of mortgage loans and is deferred until such loans are sold. Excess of Cost Over Net Assets of Acquired Businesses Previous acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases under which assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair values. The excess of cost over net assets of acquired businesses is being amortized over a range of fifteen to twenty years using the straight-line method. The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of amounts recorded. Accumulated amortization was $1,162,262 and $1,029,528 at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
SECURITY NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years Ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998 1)Significant Accounting Principles (Continued) Income Taxes Income taxes include taxes currently payable plus deferred taxes related to the tax effect of temporary differences in the financial reporting basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Such temporary differences are related principally to the deferral of policy acquisition costs and the provision for future policy benefits in the insurance operations, and unrealized gains on fixed maturity and equity securities available for sale. Earnings Per Common Share The Company computes earnings per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". This Standard requires presentation of two new amounts, basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year presented, after the effect of the assumed conversion of Class C Common Stock to Class A Common Stock, the acquisition of treasury stock, and the retroactive effect of stock dividends declared. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year plus the incremental shares that would have been outstanding under certain deferred compensation plans. Stock Compensation The Company has adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123, the Company has elected to continue to apply Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB Opinion No. 25"), and related interpretations in accounting for its stock option plans. The Company has two fixed option plans (the "1993 Plan" and the "2000 Plan"). In accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, no compensation cost has been recognized for these plans. Had compensation cost for these plans been determined based upon the fair value at the grant date consistent with the methodology prescribed under SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income would have been reduced by approximately $0, $203,000, and $110,000 in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. As a result, basic and diluted earnings per share would have been reduced by $0, $0.05, and $0.03 in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. The weighted average fair value of options granted in 2000 under the 1993 Plan and the 2000 Plan is estimated at $1.50 as of the grant date using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, volatility of 30.8%, risk-free interest rate of 6.6%, and an expected life of five to ten years. The weighted average fair value of each option granted in 1999 under the 1993 Plan is estimated at $1.61 as of the grant date using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, volatility of 28.83%, risk-free interest rate of 6.0%, and an expected life of ten years. The Company also has one variable option plan (the "1987 Plan"). In accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, compensation cost related to options granted and outstanding under these plans is estimated and recognized over the period of the award based on changes in the current market price of the Company's stock over the vesting period. Options granted under the 1987 Plan are exercisable for a period of ten years from the date of grant.
SECURITY NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years Ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998 1)Significant Accounting Principles (Continued) Pending Accounting Change SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, was issued in June 1998 and amended by SFAS No. 138, issued in June 2000. The requirements of SFAS No. 133, as amended, will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2001. The standard establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. Under the standard, certain contracts that were not formerly considered derivatives may now meet the definition of a derivative. The Company has determined SFAS 133 to have no impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations because the Company has no derivative activity. SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, was issued in September 2000. SFAS No. 140 is a replacement of SFAS No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 125 were carried forward to SFAS No. 140 without reconsideration by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), and some were changed only in minor ways. In issuing SFAS No. 140, the FASB included issues and decisions that had been addressed and determined since the original publication of SFAS No. 125. SFAS No. 140 is effective for transfers after March 31, 2001. Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 140 to have a significant impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company. Reclassifications Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform with the 2000 presentation.

For fixed maturity securities not actively traded, fair values are estimated using values obtained from independent pricing services, or in the case of private placements, are estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using a current market value applicable to the coupon rate, credit and maturity of the investments. The fair values for equity securities are based on quoted market prices. The amortized cost and estimated fair value of fixed maturity securities at December 31, 2000, by contractual maturity, are shown below.

SECURITY NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years Ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998 2) Investments (Continued) Generally gains and losses from held to maturity securities are a result of early calls and related amortization of premiums or discounts. Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of mortgage loan debtors have similar economic characteristics that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. Although the Company has a diversified mortgage loan portfolio consisting of residential and commercial loans and requires collateral on all real estate exposures, a substantial portion of its debtors' ability to honor obligations is reliant on the economic stability of the geographic region in which the debtors do business. The Company has 83% of its mortgage loans in the state of Utah. Investments, aggregated by issuer, in excess of 10% of shareholders' equity (before net unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities) at December 31, 2000, other than investments issued or guaranteed by the United States Government, are as follows: Carrying Amount --------------- Dean Witter Discover $4,274,338 Philip Morris, Inc. 5,653,514 Major categories of net investment income are as follows: 2000 1999 1998 Fixed maturity securities $4,629,916 $4,720,838 $3,293,949 Equity securities 235,491 226,857 219,785 Mortgage loans on real estate 1,735,590 1,451,214 1,036,132 Real estate 1,507,239 1,711,771 1,384,311 Policy loans 641,272 725,383 170,752 Short-term investments 402,350 650,035 405,848 Other 3,962,362 2,142,527 1,899,643 ---------- ----------- ----------- Gross investment income 13,114,220 11,628,625 8,410,420 Investment expenses (978,148) (997,323) (951,677) ---------- ----------- ----------- Net investment income $12,136,072 $10,631,302 $7,458,743 =========== =========== ========== Net investment income includes net investment income earned by the restricted assets of the cemeteries and mortuaries of approximately $717,000, $733,000 and $683,000 for 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. Investment expenses consist primarily of depreciation, property taxes and an estimated portion of administrative expenses relating to investment activities.

SECURITY NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years Ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998 8) Income Taxes (Continued) The reconciliation of income tax expense at the U.S. federal statutory rates is as follows: 2000 1999 1998 -------- ------- ------ Computed expense at statutory rate $423,682 $493,266 $348,855 Special deductions allowed small life insurance companies (68,769) (122,204) (88,658) Dividends received deduction (24,418) (24,401) (26,691) Minority interest taxes (19,222) (102,828) -- Other, net (6,633) (13,317) 21,309 --------- --------- --------- Tax expense $304,640 $230,516 $254,815 ======== ======== ======== A portion of the life insurance income earned prior to 1984 was not subject to current taxation but was accumulated for tax purposes, in a "policyholders' surplus account." Under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, the policyholders' surplus account was frozen at its December 31, 1983 balance and will be taxed generally only when distributed. As of December 31, 2000, the policyholders' surplus accounts approximated $4,500,000. Management does not intend to take actions nor does management expect any events to occur that would cause federal income taxes to become payable on that amount. However, if such taxes were accrued, the amount of taxes payable would be approximately $1,500,000. The insurance companies have remaining loss carry forwards for tax purposes of approximately $1,679,000, approximately $286,000 of which is subject to an annual limitation of approximately $300,000. 9) Reinsurance, Commitments and Contingencies The Company follows the procedure of reinsuring risks in excess of a specified limit, which ranged from $30,000 to $75,000 at December 31, 2000 and 1999. The Company is liable for these amounts in the event such reinsurers are unable to pay their portion of the claims. The Company has also assumed insurance from other companies having insurance in force amounting to $580,287,000 at December 31, 2000 and $581,296,000 at December 31, 1999. As part of the acquisition of Southern Security, the Company has a co-insurance agreement with The Mega Life and Health Insurance Company ("MEGA"). On December 31, 1992 Southern Security ceded to MEGA 18% of all universal life policies in force at that date. MEGA is entitled to 18% of all future premiums, claims, policyholder loans and surrenders relating to the ceded policies. In addition, Southern Security receives certain commission and expense reimbursements. The funds held related to reinsurance treaties of $1,417,216 and policyholders' account balances on deposit with reinsurer of $7,434,750 represent the 18% share of policy loans and policyholder account balances ceded to MEGA as of December 31, 2000. Mortgage loans originated and sold to unaffiliated investors are sold subject to certain recourse provisions. The Company is a defendant in various other legal actions arising from the normal conduct of business. Management believes that none of the actions will have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
SECURITY NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years Ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998 10) Retirement Plans The Company and its subsidiaries have a noncontributory Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) for all eligible employees. Eligible employees are primarily those with more than one year of service, who work in excess of 1,040 hours per year. Contributions, which may be in cash or stock of the Company, are determined annually by the Board of Directors. The Company's contributions are allocated to eligible employees based on the ratio of each eligible employee's compensation to total compensation for all eligible employees during each year. ESOP contribution expense totaled $0, $56,277, and $59,613 for 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. At December 31, 2000 the ESOP held 553,322 shares of Class A and 1,277,690 shares of Class C common stock of the Company. All shares held by the ESOP have been allocated to the participating employees and all shares held by the ESOP are considered outstanding for purposes of computing earnings per share. The Company has a 401(k) savings plan covering all eligible employees, as defined above, which includes employer participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The plan allows participants to make pretax contributions up to the lesser of 15% of total annual compensation or the statutory limits. The Company may match up to 50% of each employee's investment in Company stock, up to 1/2% of the employee's total annual compensation. The Company's match will be Company stock and the amount of the match will be at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors. The Company's matching 401(k) contributions for 2000, 1999, and 1998 were approximately $0, $3,858, and $7,000 respectively. Also, the Company may contribute at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors an Employer Profit Sharing Contribution to the 401-K savings plan. The Employer Profit Sharing Contribution shall be divided among three different classes of participants in the plan based upon the participant's title in the Company. The Company contribution for 2000, 1999 and 1998 were $0, $130,958, and $0, respectively. All amounts contributed to the plan are deposited into a trust fund administered by an independent trustee. 11) Capital Stock The following table summarizes the activity in shares of capital stock for the three year period ended December 31, 2000: Class A Class C ---------- --------- Balance at December 31, 1997 4,326,588 5,200,811 Stock Dividends 219,892 259,374 Conversion of Class C to Class A 1,336 (13,352) Stock Issued (cancelled) 69,514 (238) --------- --------- Balance at December 31, 1998 4,617,330 5,446,595 Stock Dividends 231,672 264,550 Conversion of Class C to Class A 15,580 (155,795) Stock Issued (cancelled) (851) -- --------- --------- Balance at December 31, 1999 4,863,731 5,555,350 Stock Dividends 243,393 277,515 Conversion of Class C to Class A 507 (5,060) --------- --------- Balance at December 31, 2000 5,107,631 5,827,805 ========= =========

Class C shares vote share for share with the Class A shares on all matters except election of one-third of the directors who are elected solely by the Class A shares, but generally are entitled to a lower dividend participation rate. Class C shares are convertible into Class A shares at any time on a ten to one ratio. Also Class A shares can be converted into Class C shares, but the conversion rights have numerous restrictions. Stockholders of both classes of common stock have received 5% stock dividends in the years 1989 through 2000, as authorized by the Company's Board of Directors. The Company has Class B Common Stock of $1.00 par value, 5,000,000 shares authorized, of which none are issued.

SECURITY NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years Ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998 12) Deferred Compensation Plans In 1987, the Company adopted the 1987 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the 1987 Plan). The 1987 Plan provides that shares of the Class A Common Stock of the Company may be optioned to certain officers and key employees of the Company. The 1987 Plan establishes a Stock Option Plan Committee which selects the employees to whom the options will be granted and determines the price of the stock. The 1987 Plan establishes the minimum purchase price of the stock at an amount which is not less than 100% of the fair market value of the stock (110% for employees owning more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock). The 1987 Plan provides that if additional shares of Class A Common Stock are issued pursuant to a stock split or a stock dividend, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock then covered by each outstanding option granted hereunder shall be increased proportionately with no increase in the total purchase price of the shares then covered, and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock reserved for the purpose of the 1987 Plan shall be increased by the same proportion. In the event that the shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company from time to time issued and outstanding are reduced by a combination of shares, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock then covered by each outstanding option granted hereunder shall be reduced proportionately with no reduction in the total price of the shares then so covered, and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock reserved for the purposes of the 1987 Plan shall be reduced by the same proportion. The 1987 Plan terminated in 1997 and options granted are non-transferable. Options granted and outstanding under the 1987 Plan include Stock Appreciation Rights which permit the holder of the option to elect to receive cash, amounting to the difference between the option price and the fair market value of the stock at the time of the exercise, or a lesser amount of stock without payment, upon exercise of the option. Activity of the 1987 Plan is summarized as follows: Number Option of Shares Price ----------- ---------- Outstanding at December 31, 1997 155,400 $4.29 - $4.71 Dividend 7,770 Exercised -- --------- Outstanding at December 31, 1998 163,170 $4.08 - $4.49 Dividend 8,159 Exercised -- --------- Outstanding at December 31, 1999 171,329 $3.89 - $4.28 Dividend 8,566 Exercised -- --------- Outstanding at December 31, 2000 179,895 $3.70 - $4.07 ======== Exercisable at end of year 179,895 ======== Available options for future grant 1987 Stock Incentive Plan -0- ======== On June 21, 1993, the Company adopted the Security National Financial Corporation 1993 Stock Incentive Plan (the "1993 Plan"), which reserved 300,000 shares of Class A Common
SECURITY NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years Ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998 12) Deferred Compensation Plans (Continued) Stock for issuance thereunder. The 1993 Plan allows the Company to grant options and issue shares as a means of providing equity incentives to key personnel, giving them a proprietary interest in the Company and its success and progress. The 1993 Plan provides for the grant of options and the award or sale of stock to officers, directors, and employees of the Company. Both "incentive stock options," as defined under Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), and "non- qualified options" may be granted pursuant to the 1993 Plan. Options intended as incentive stock options may be issued only to employees, and must meet certain conditions imposed by the Code, including a requirement that the option exercise price be not less than the fair market value of the option shares on the date of grant. The 1993 Plan provides that the exercise price for non-qualified options will be not less than at least 50% of the fair market value of the stock subject to such option as of the date of grant of such options, as determined by the Company's Board of Directors. The options were granted to reward certain officers and key employees who have been employed by the Company for a number of years and to help the Company retain these officers by providing them with an additional incentive to contribute to the success of the Company. The 1993 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors or by a committee designated by the Board. The 1993 Plan provides that if the shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares or if the Company shall issue any shares of Common Stock as a stock dividend on its outstanding Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the exercise of options shall be increased or decreased proportionately, and appropriate adjustments shall be made in the purchase price per share to reflect such subdivision, combination or stock dividend. No options may be exercised for a term of more than ten years from the date of grant. The 1993 Plan has a term of ten years. The Board of Directors may amend or terminate the 1993 Plan at any time, subject to approval of certain modifications to the 1993 Plan by the shareholders of the Company as may be required by law or the 1993 Plan. On November 7, 1996 the Company amended the Articles of Incorporation as follows: (i) to increase the number of shares of Class A Common Stock reserved for issuance under the plan from 300,000 Class A shares to 600,000 Class A shares; and (ii) to provide that the stock subject to options, awards and purchases may include Class C common stock. On October 14, 1999, the Company amended the 1993 Plan to increase the number of shares of Class A Common Stock reserved for issuance under the plan from 746,126 Class A shares to 1,046,126 Class A shares.

Effective November 1, 2000, and on each anniversary date thereof during the term of the 2000 Plan, each outside Director who shall first join the Board after the effective date shall be granted an option to purchase 1,000 shares upon the date which such person first becomes an outside Director and an annual grant of an option to purchase 1,000 shares on each anniversary date thereof during the term of the 2000 Plan. The options granted to outside Directors shall vest in their entirety on the first anniversary date of the grant. The primary purposes of the 2000 Plan are to enhance the Company's ability to attract and retain well-qualified persons for service as directors and to provide incentives to such directors to continue their association with the Company.

"Prescribed" statutory accounting practices are interspersed throughout state insurance laws and regulations, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual and a variety of other NAIC publications. "Permitted" statutory accounting practices encompass all accounting practices that are not prescribed; such practices may differ from state to state, may differ from company to company within a state, and may change in the future. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners has adopted the Codification of Statutory Accounting Principles ("Codification"). Codification changes current statutory accounting rules in several areas and is effective January 1, 2001. Although the Company has not estimated the potential effect, it does not believe Codificaiton will have a material effect on the financial position, results of operation, or liquidity of the Company. Statutory net income and statutory stockholder's equity for the life subsidiaries as reported to state regulatory authorities, is presented below: Statutory Net Income (Loss) December 31, 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- Security National Life $796,047 $628,538 346,659 Southern Security Life 80,477 533,233 (486,825) Statutory Stockholders' Equity December 31, 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- Security National Life $14,309,515 $12,089,618 12,083,747 Southern Security Life 8,405,211 8,976,516 8,627,252
SECURITY NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years Ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998 13) Statutory-Basis Financial Information (Continued) Generally, the net assets of the life insurance subsidiaries available for transfer to the Company are limited to the amounts that the life insurance subsidiaries net assets, as determined in accordance with statutory accounting practices, exceed minimum statutory capital requirements; however, payments of such amounts as dividends are subject to approval by regulatory authorities. The Utah and Florida Insurance Departments impose minimum risk-based capital requirements that were developed by the NAIC on insurance enterprises. The formulas for determining the risk-based capital ("RBC") specify various factors that are applied to financial balances or various levels of activity based on the perceived degree of risk. Regulatory compliance is determined by a ratio (the "Ratio") of the enterprise's regulatory total adjusted capital, as defined by the NAIC, to its authorized control level, as defined by the NAIC. Enterprises below specific trigger points or ratios are classified within certain levels, each of which requires specified corrective action. The life insurance subsidiaries have a Ratio that is greater than 300% of the first level of regulatory action. 14) Business Segment Information Description of Products and Services by Segment The Company has three reportable segments: life insurance, cemetery and mortuary, and mortgage loans. The Company's life insurance segment consists of life insurance premiums and operating expenses from the sale of insurance products sold by the Company's independent agency force and net investment income derived from investing policyholder and segment surplus funds. The Company's cemetery and mortuary segment consists of revenues and operating expenses from the sale of pre-need and at-need cemetery and mortuary merchandise and services at its mortuaries and cemeteries and the net investment income from investing segment surplus funds. The Company's mortgage loan segment consists of loan originations fee income and expenses from the originations of residential mortgage loans and interest earned and interest expenses from warehousing pre-sold loans before the funds are received from financial institutional investors. In addition, the Company has a corporate segment which provides administrative and marketing services to the reportable segments described above. Measurement of Segment Profit or Loss and Segment Assets The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the Significant Accounting Principles. Intersegment revenues are recorded at cost plus an agreed upon intercompany profit. Factors Management Used to Identify the Enterprise's Reportable Segments The Company's reportable segments are business units that offer different products and are managed separately due to the different products and the need to report to the various regulatory jurisdictions.

SECURITY NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years Ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998 15) Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair values of investments in fixed maturity and equity securities along with methods used to estimate such values are disclosed in Note 2. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the "fair value" disclosures related to other significant financial instruments: Cash, Receivables, Short-term Investments, and Restricted Assets of the Cemeteries and Mortuaries: The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying balance sheets for these financial instruments approximate their fair values. Mortgage, Policy, Student, and Collateral Loans: The fair values are estimated using interest rates currently being offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings. Loans with similar characteristics are aggregated for purposes of the calculations. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying balance sheets for these financial instruments approximate their fair values. Investment Contracts: The fair values for the Company's liabilities under investment- type insurance contracts are estimated based on the contracts' cash surrender values. The carrying amount and fair value as of December 31, 2000 were approximately $88,189,000 and $83,919,000, respectively. The fair values for the Company's insurance contracts other than investment-type contracts are not required to be disclosed. However, the fair values of liabilities under all insurance contracts are taken into consideration in the Company's overall management of interest rate risk, such that the Company's exposure to changing interest rates is minimized through the matching of investment maturities with amounts due under insurance contracts. 16) Other Comprehensive Income The following summarizes other comprehensive income: 2000 1999 1998 ------ ------ ------- Unrealized gains (losses) on available for-sale securities $736,803 $(696,162) $405,047 Less: reclassification adjustment for net realized gains in net income (420,739) (14,126) (62,702) --------- --------- -------- Net unrealized gains (losses) 316,064 (710,288) 342,345 Tax expense on net unrealized gain (losses) (145,004) 294,866 (92,171) --------- --------- -------- Other comprehensive income (loss) $171,060 $(415,422) $250,174 ========= ========= =========

Employee 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan In 1995, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan. Under the terms of the 401(k) plan, effective as of January 1, 1995, the Company may make discretionary employer matching contributions to its employees who choose to participate in the plan. The plan allows the board to determine the amount of the contribution at the end of each year. The Board adopted a contribution formula specifying that such discretionary employer matching contributions would equal 50% of the participating employee's contribution to the plan to purchase Company stock up to a maximum discretionary employee contribution of 1/2% of a participating employee's compensation, as defined by the plan. All persons who have completed at least one year's service with the Company and satisfy other plan requirements are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan. All Company matching contributions are invested in the Company's Class A Common Stock. The Company's matching contributions for 2000, 1999, and 1998 were approximately $0, $3,858, and $7,000 respectively. Also, the Company may contribute at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors an Employer Profit Sharing Contribution to the 401- K plan. The Employer Profit Sharing Contribution shall be divided among three different classes of participants in the plan based upon the participant's title in the Company. All amounts contributed to the plan are deposited into a trust fund administered by an independent trustee. The Company's contributions to the plan for 2000, 1999 and 1998, were $0, $130,958 and $0, respectively. Employee Stock Ownership Plan Effective January 1, 1980, the Company adopted an employee stock ownership plan (the "Ownership Plan") for the benefit of career employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The following is a description of the Ownership Plan, and is qualified in its entirety by the Ownership Plan, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company's offices.
Under the Ownership Plan, the Company has discretionary power to make contributions on behalf of all eligible employees into a trust created under the Ownership Plan. Employees become eligible to participate in the Ownership Plan when they have attained the age of 19 and have completed one year of service (a twelve-month period in which the Employee completes at least 1,040 hours of service). The Company's contributions under the Ownership Plan are allocated to eligible employees on the same ratio that each eligible employee's compensation bears to total compensation for all eligible employees during each year. To date, the Ownership Plan has approximately 107 participants and had no contributions payable to the Plan in 2000. Benefits under the Ownership Plan vest as follows: 20% after the third year of eligible service by an employee, an additional 20% in the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh years of eligible service by an employee. Benefits under the Ownership Plan will be paid out in one lump sum or in installments in the event the employee becomes disabled, reaches the age of 65, or is terminated by the Company and demonstrates financial hardship. The Ownership Plan Committee, however, retains discretion to determine the final method of payment. Finally, the Company reserves the right to amend or terminate the Ownership Plan at any time. The trustees of the trust fund under the Ownership Plan are Messrs. George R. Quist, and William C. Sargent, all directors of the Company. 1987 Incentive Stock Option Plan In 1987, the Company adopted the 1987 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the 1987 Plan). The 1987 Plan provides that shares of the Class A Common Stock of the Company may be optioned to certain officers and key employees of the Company. The Plan establishes a Stock Option Plan Committee which selects the employees to whom the options will be granted and determines the price of the stock. The Plan establishes the minimum purchase price of the stock at an amount which is not less than 100% of the fair market value of the stock (110% for employees owning more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock). The Plan provides that if additional shares of Class A Common Stock are issued pursuant to a stock split or a stock dividend, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock then covered by each outstanding option granted hereunder shall be increased proportionately with no increase in the total purchase price of the shares then so covered, and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock reserved for the purpose of the Plan shall be increased by the same proportion. In the event that the shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company from time to time issued and outstanding are reduced by a combination of shares, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock then covered by each outstanding option granted hereunder shall be reduced proportionately with no reduction in the total price of the shares then so covered, and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock reserved for the purposes of the Plan shall be reduced by the same proportion. The Plan terminated in 1997 and options granted are non-transferable. The Plan permits the holder of the option to elect to receive cash, amounting to the difference between the option price and the fair market value of the stock at the time of the exercise, or a lesser amount of stock without payment, upon exercise of the option. 1993 Stock Option Plan On June 21, 1993, the Company adopted the Security National Financial Corporation 1993 Stock Incentive Plan (the "1993 Plan"), which reserves shares of Class A Common Stock for issuance thereunder. The 1993 Plan was approved at the annual meeting of the stockholders held on June 21, 1993. The 1993 Plan allows the Company to grant options and issue shares as a means of providing equity incentives to key personnel, giving them a proprietary interest in the Company and its success and progress. The 1993 Plan provides for the grant of options and the award or sale of stock to officers, directors, and employees of the Company. Both "incentive stock options," as defined under Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), and "non-qualified options" may be granted pursuant to the 1993 Plan. The exercise prices for the options granted are equal to or greater than the fair market value of the stock subject to such options as of the date of grant, as determined by the Company's Board of Directors. The options granted under the 1993 Plan, were to reward certain officers and key employees who have been employed by the Company for a number of years and to help the Company retain these officers by providing them with an additional incentive to contribute to the success of the Company.
The 1993 Plan is to be administered by the Board of Directors or by a committee designated by the Board. The terms of options granted or stock awards or sales effected under the 1993 Plan are to be determined by the Board of Directors or its committee. The Plan provides that if the shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares or if the Company shall issue any shares of Common Stock as a stock dividend on its outstanding Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the exercise of Options shall be increased or decreased proportionately, and appropriate adjustments shall be made in the purchase price per share to reflect such subdivision, combination or stock dividend. In addition, the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for purposes of the Plan shall be adjusted by the same proportion. No options may be exercised for a term of more than ten years from the date of grant. Options intended as incentive stock options may be issued only to employees, and must meet certain conditions imposed by the code, including a requirement that the option exercise price be no less than the fair market value of the option shares on the date of grant. The 1993 Plan provides that the exercise price for non-qualified options will be not less than at least 50% of the fair market value of the stock subject to such option as of the date of grant of such options, as determined by the Company's Board of Directors. The 1993 Plan has a term of ten years. The Board of Directors may amend or terminate the 1993 Plan at any time, subject to approval of certain modifications to the 1993 Plan by the shareholders of the Company as may be required by law or the 1993 Plan. On November 7, 1996 the Company amended the Articles of Incorporation as follows: (i) to increase the number of shares of Class A Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan from 300,000 Class A shares to 600,000 Class A shares; and (ii) to provide that the stock subject to options, awards and purchases may include Class C common stock. On October 14, 1999, the Company amended the 1993 Plan to increase the number of shares of Class A Common Stock reserved for issuance under the plan from 746,126 Class A shares to 1,046,126 Class A shares. 2000 Director Stock Option Plan On October 16, 2000, the Company adopted the 2000 Directors Stock Option Plan (the "Director Plan") effective November 1, 2000. The Director Plan provides for the grant by the Company of options to purchase up to an aggregate of 50,000 shares of Class A Common Stock for issuance thereunder. The Director Plan provides that each member of the Company's Board of Directors who is not an employee or paid consultant of the Company automatically is eligible to receive options to purchase the Company's Class A Common Stock under the Director Plan. Effective as of November 1, 2000, and on each anniversary date thereof during the term of the Director Plan, each outside director shall automatically receive an option to purchase 1,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. In addition, each new outside director who shall first join the Board after the effective date shall be granted an option to purchase 1,000 shares upon the date which such person first becomes an outside director and an annual grant of an option to purchase 1,000 shares on each anniversary date thereof during the term of the Director Plan. The options granted to outside directors shall vest in their entirety on the first anniversary date of the grant. The primary purposes of the Director Plan are to enhance the Company's ability to attract and retain well-qualified persons for service as directors and to provide incentives to such directors to continue their association with the Company. In the event of a merger of the Company with or into another company, or a consolidation, acquisition of stock or assets or other change in control transaction involving the Company, each option becomes exercisable in full, unless such option is assumed by the successor corporation. In the event the transaction is not approved by a majority of the "Continuing Directors" (as defined in the Director Plan), each option becomes fully vested and exercisable in full immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction, whether or not assumed by the successor corporation.

Note $115,400.00 May 1, 2000 George R. Quist 4491 Wander Lane Salt Lake City, Utah 84124 1. Borrower's Promise to Pay. In return for the loan that I have received, I promise to pay the sum of One Hundred Fifteen Thousand Four Hundred Dollars ($115,400.00) (this amount is called the "principal") to the order of the Lender. The Lender is Security National Financial Corporation. I understand that the Lender may transfer this Note. The Lender or anyone who takes this Note by transfer and who is entitled to receive payments under this Note is called the "Note Holder". 2. Interest. There will be no interest for this loan. 3. Payments. No monthly payments will be required under this Note. If, on December 31, 2001, I still owe amounts under this Note, I will pay those amounts in full on that date, which is called the "Maturity Date". I will make my payments at 5300 South 360 West, Suite 200, Salt Lake City, Utah 84123, or at a different place if required by the Note Holder. Payments can be made through the United States mails. 4. Borrower's Right to Repay. I have the right to make payments of principal at any time before they are due. A payment of principal only is known as a "prepayment". When I make a prepayment, I will tell the Note Holder in writing that I am doing so. I may make a full prepayment or partial prepayments without paying any prepayment charge. The Note Holder will use all of my prepayments to reduce the amount of principal that I owe under this Note. If I make a partial prepayment, there will be no changes in the due date unless the Note Holder agrees in writing to those changes. 5. Loan Charges. If a law, which applies to this loan and which sets maximum loan charges, is finally interpreted so that the interest or other loan charges collected or to be collected in connection with this loan exceed the permitted limits, then: (i) any such loan charge shall be reduced by the amount necessary to reduce the charge to the permitted limit; and (ii) any sums already collected from me which exceeded permitted limits will be refunded to me. The Note Holder may choose to make this refund by reducing the principal I owe under this Note or by making a direct payment to me. If a refund reduces principal, the reduction will be treated as a partial prepayment. 6. Giving of Notices. Unless applicable law requires a different method, any notice that must be given to me under this Note will be given by delivering it or by mailing it by first class mail to me at the Property Address above or at a different address if I give the Note Holder a notice of my different address. Any notice that must be given to the Note Holder under this Note will be given by mailing it by first class mail to the Note Holder at the address stated in Section 3 above or at a different address if I am given a notice of that different address. 7. Waivers. I and any other person who has obligations under this Note waive the rights of presentment and notice of dishonor. "Presentment" means the right to require the Note Holder to demand payment of amounts due. "Notice of Dishonor" means the right to require the Note Holder to give notice to other persons that amounts due have not been paid. WITNESS THE HAND OF THE UNDERSIGNED. /s/ George R. Quist George R.
