SECURITY NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements September 30, 2006 (Unaudited) 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2005, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K (file number 0-9341). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 fairly stated in all material respects. Certain 2005 amounts have been reclassified to bring them into conformity with the 2006 presentation. 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In September 2005, the AICPA issued Statement of Position 05-1, Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs ("DAC") in Connection with Modifications or Exchanges of Insurance Contracts, ("SOP 05-1"). SOP 05-1 provides guidance on accounting by insurance enterprises for DAC on internal replacements of insurance and investment contracts. An internal replacement is a modification in product benefits, features, rights or coverages that occurs by the exchange of a contract for a new contract, or by amendment, endorsement, or rider to a contract, or by the election of a feature or coverage within a contract. Modifications that result in a replacement contract that is substantially changed from the replaced contract should be accounted for as an extinguishment of the replaced contract. Unamortized DAC, unearned revenue liabilities and deferred sales inducements from the replaced contract must be written-off. Modifications that result in a contract that is substantially unchanged from the replaced contract should be accounted for as a continuation of the replaced contract. SOP 05-1 is effective for internal replacements occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with earlier adoption encouraged. Initial application of SOP 05-1 should be as of the beginning of the entity's fiscal year. The Company is expected to adopt SOP 05-1 effective January 1, 2007. Adoption of this statement is not expected to have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements; however, the impact has not yet been determined.

SECURITY NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements September 30, 2006, (Unaudited) In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments -- an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140 (SFAS 155). SFAS 155 amends SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities and related interpretations. SFAS 155 permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation and clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to recognition as liabilities. SFAS 155 eliminates the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS 155 is effective for the Company for all financial instruments acquired or issued beginning January 1, 2007. The impact of adoption of this statement on the Company's consolidated financial statements, if any, has not yet been determined. In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (SFAS 156). SFAS 156 amends SFAS 140 Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities and related interpretations. SFAS 156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset. It also requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. SFAS 156 permits an entity to use either the amortization method or the fair value measurement method for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS 156 is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2007. The impact of adoption of this statement on the Company's consolidated financial statements, if any, has not yet been determined. In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The interpretation is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The impact of adoption of this interpretation on the Company's consolidated financial statements, if any, has not yet been determined. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R) ("SFAS 158"). Under SFAS 158, companies must recognize a net liability or asset to report the funded status of their defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans on their balance sheets. The effective date of the recognition and disclosure provisions for calendar-year public companies is for calendar years ending after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard but it is not expected to have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2006. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 will be applied prospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

SECURITY NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements September 30, 2006, (Unaudited) In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 ("SAB 108"). SAB 108 was issued to provide interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. The provisions of SAB 108 are effective for the Company for its December 31, 2006 year-end. The adoption of SAB 108 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. 3. Comprehensive Income For the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, total comprehensive income amounted to $1,254,000 and $2,587,000, respectively. This decrease of $1,332,000 was primarily the result of an increase in net income of $215,000, a decrease in derivatives of $465,000, and a $1,082,000 decrease in unrealized gains and losses in securities available for sale. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, total comprehensive income amounted to $3,915,000 and $3,292,000 respectively. This increase of $623,000 was primarily the result of an increase in net income of $1,121,000, a decrease in derivatives of $848,000, and an increase of $350,000 in unrealized gains and losses in securities available for sale. 4. Stock-Based Compensation Stock-Based Compensation Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment" ("FAS 123R") for its stock-based compensation plans. The Company previously accounted for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") and related interpretations and disclosure requirements established by SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") as amended by SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure." Under APB 25, no compensation expense was recorded in earnings for the Company's stock-based options granted under its compensation plans. The pro forma effects on net income and earnings per share for the options and awards granted under the plans were instead disclosed in a note to the consolidated financial statements. Under SFAS 123R, all stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the option or award, and is recognized as an expense in earnings over the requisite service, which is typically through the date the options vest. The Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective method. Under this method, for all stock-based options and awards granted prior to January 1, 2006 that remain outstanding as of that date, compensation cost is recognized for the unvested portion over the remaining requisite service period, using the grant-date fair value measured under the original provisions of SFAS 123 for pro forma and disclosure purposes. Furthermore, compensation costs will also be recognized for any awards issued, modified, repurchased or cancelled after January 1, 2006.

SECURITY NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements September 30, 2006, (Unaudited) The Company utilized the Black-Scholes-Merton model for calculating the fair value pro forma disclosures under SFAS 123 and will continue to use this model, which is an acceptable valuation approach under SFAS 123R. The following table summarizes the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model assumptions used to compute the weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during the periods below: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 2005 ----- ---- Dividend yield N/A* 5% Expected volatility N/A* 39% Risk-free interest rate N/A* 3.4% Expected holding period (in years) N/A* 7.5 Weighted-average fair value of options granted N/A* $1.92 - ---------------- * Not applicable as there were no options granted during the period. No options were granted for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Total compensation costs relating to stock-based compensation was not material during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, including the effects from adoption of SFAS 123R, which would have previously been presented in a pro forma disclosure, as discussed above.

Under the terms of the merger and pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated August 25, 2004, including the amendment thereto dated December 27, 2004, SSLIC Holding Company was merged with and into Southern Security Life. The merger transaction resulted in Southern Security Life becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Security National Life, and the unaffiliated stockholders of Southern Security Life, holding an aggregate of 490,816 shares of common stock, or approximately 23% of the outstanding common shares of Southern Security Life, becoming entitled to receive $3.84 in cash for each issued and outstanding share of their common stock of Southern Security Life, or an aggregate of $1,884,733. This consideration was primarily paid to those unaffiliated stockholders during 2005. Memorial Insurance Company of America On December 29, 2005, Security National Life and Southern Security Life completed a stock purchase transaction with Memorial Insurance Company of America, an Arkansas domiciled insurance company ("Memorial Insurance Company"), to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Memorial Insurance Company.

Other Business Activity The City of Phoenix (in Arizona) began condemnation proceedings during 2004 on the property where the Camelback Funeral Home was located for purposes of constructing a light rail facility. The city placed $1,200,000 in escrow to pay the Company for the property that was condemned. The carrying amount on the Company's financial statements for the land and building of the Camelback Funeral Home at December 31, 2005 was $678,889. The Company has had an independent appraisal and negotiated a higher sales price with the city. In July 2006, the Company settled with the City of Phoenix for a sales price of $1,440,000. As a result of the sale, the Company recognized a gain of $760,231 during the third quarter of 2006. The first payment of $1,200,000 was made by the City of Phoenix in August 2006 with the remaining amount to be received within 30 days of the city council's approval of the sales price. The Company received a letter dated November 29, 2004 on behalf of Roger Gornichec, who the Company recognizes as having been an independent contractor. Gornichec had concluded his services as an agent selling insurance in the spring of 2003 and his license to sell cemetery plots was not renewed in the summer of 2004. Gornichec asserted that he was an employee contrary to the Company's position. The claims made in the letter on behalf of Gornichec included but were not limited to, wrongful termination in violation of public policy, misrepresentation, age discrimination, whistle-blower retaliation, interference with economic advantage, breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and infliction of emotional distress. Gornichec also claimed he was owed a certain amount from a retirement plan. The letter from Gornichec's attorney proposed a settlement in the amount of $420,000. Based on its investigation, the Company believes Gornichec was an independent contractor rather than an employee, and there was no justification for the claims and the settlement amount sought. The Company reached a settlement with Gornichec, which resulted in the Company paying $27,000 to Gornichec during the second quarter of 2006. The Company received a letter dated November 9, 2004 on behalf of Charles Hood, who worked at Singing Hills Memorial Park in El Cajon, California. Hood was hired in early 2003 as a groundskeeper with his work concluding on October 30, 2003. Hood claims he wrote a letter to the Company expressing his concerns regarding the operation of the cemetery, and that the next day he was terminated, even though he recognizes his relationship was as an at-will employee. Hood's claims against the Company also include, but are not limited to, violation of labor laws, whistleblower retaliation and infliction of emotional distress. The letter proposed a settlement in the amount of $275,000. On November 23, 2005, Hood filed a complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County for San Diego (Case No. GIE 028978) against Singing Hills Memorial Park and California Memorial Estates, Inc, wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. The claims in the complaint include wrongful termination in violation of public policy, retaliation in violation of public policy, race discrimination in violation of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, retaliation in violation of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, intentional infliction of emotional distress, plus punitive damages, attorney's fees and costs of the lawsuit. There are no specific amounts requested in the complaint, but damages are in an amount to be proven at a jury trial. The Company contends that Hood voluntarily quit and was not terminated. The trial was set for November 2006. The Company reached a settlement with Hood, which resulted in the Company paying $30, 000 to Hood, during the third quarter of 2006.

Item 2. 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 traditional whole-life products; (ii) emphasis on cemetery and mortuary business; and (iii) originating and refinancing mortgage loans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, SecurityNational Mortgage Company ("SNMC") experienced an increase in revenue and expenses due to the increase in loan volume of its operations. SNMC is a mortgage lender incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah. SNMC is approved and regulated by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), a department of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), to originate mortgage loans that qualify for government insurance in the event of default by the borrower. SNMC obtains loans primarily from independent brokers and correspondents. SNMC funds the loans from internal cash flows and lines of credit from financial institutions. SNMC receives fees from the borrowers and other secondary fees from third party investors who purchase the loans from SNMC. SNMC primarily sells all of its loans to third party investors and does not retain servicing to these loans. SNMC pays the brokers and correspondents a commission for loans that are brokered through SNMC. SNMC originated and sold 9,665 ($1,607,842,000) and 9,421 (1,516,694,000) loans, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. Results of Operations Third Quarter of 2006 Compared to Third Quarter of 2005 Total revenues increased by $3,014,000, or 8.5%, to $38,575,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from $35,561,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Contributing to this increase in total revenues was an $546,000 increase in mortgage fee income, a $1,100,000 increase in insurance premiums and other considerations, a $267,000 increase in net investment income, a $393,000 increase in net mortuary and cemetery sales, and a $716,000 increase in realized gains on investments and other assets. Insurance premiums and other considerations increased by $1,100,000, or 17.1%, to $7,537,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from $6,437,000 for the comparable period in 2005. This increase was primarily due to additional premiums realized from new insurance sales and from the acquisition of Memorial Insurance Company on December 29, 2005. Net investment income increased by $267,000, or 4.9%, to $5,742,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from $5,475,000 for the comparable period in 2005. This increase was primarily attributable to additional interest income from increased long-term bond and mortgage purchases over the comparable period in 2005 and additional investment income from the assets received from the acquisition of Memorial Insurance Company. Net mortuary and cemetery sales increased by $393,000, or 15.9%, to $2,865,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from $2,472,000 for the comparable period in 2005. This increase was due to increased at-need sales in cemetery and mortuary operations and increased pre-need land sales in cemetery operations. Realized gains on investments and other assets increased by $716,000 to $731,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $15,000 for the comparable period in 2005. This was due primarily to a gain of $760,000 from the sale of the Camelback Funeral Home to the city of Phoenix pursuant to condemnation proceedings to construct a light rail facility.

Mortgage fee income increased by $546,000, or 2.6%, to $21,602,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from $21,056,000 for the comparable period in 2005. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of loan originations during the third quarter of 2006 due to the opening of additional mortgage offices and increased production in existing mortgage offices, which resulted in financing a greater number of mortgage loans. Total benefits and expenses were $36,441,000, or 94.5% of total revenues, for the three months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to $33,605,000, or 94.5% of total revenues, for the comparable period in 2005. This increase primarily resulted from increased loan costs at SecurityNational Mortgage Company due to a greater number of loan originations and additional expenses from the operations of Memorial Insurance Company, which the Company acquired on December 29, 2005. Death benefits, surrenders and other policy benefits, and increase in future policy benefits increased by an aggregate of $860,000, or 14.7%, to $6,705,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from $5,845,000 for the comparable period in 2005. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in death benefits and surrenders and other policy benefits. Amortization of deferred policy and pre-need acquisition costs and costs of insurance acquired increased by $642,000, or 86.6%, to $1,383,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from $741,000 for the comparable period in 2005. This increase was primarily due to increased business and to adjustments in actuarial assumptions. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1,427,000, or 5.7%, to $26,464,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from $25,037,000 for the comparable period in 2005. This increase primarily resulted from an increase in commissions due to a greater number of mortgage loan originations made by SecurityNational Mortgage Company during the third quarter of 2006, additional expenses from the operations of Memorial Insurance Company, which the Company purchased on December 29, 2005, and increased salaries of existing employees and an increase in the number of employees. Interest expense decreased by $171,000, or 11.4%, to $1,331,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from $1,502,000 for the comparable period in 2005. This decrease was primarily due to a reduction in warehouse lines of credit required for a fewer number of warehoused mortgage loans made by SecurityNational Mortgage Company. Cost of goods and services sold of the mortuaries and cemeteries increased by $78,000, or 16.3%, to $558,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from $480,000 for the comparable period in 2005. This increase was primarily due to increased pre-need cemetery land sales. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 Total revenues increased by $9,898,000, or 10.4%, to $105,125,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $95,227,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Contributing to this increase in total revenues was a $4,840,000 increase in mortgage fee income, a $2,165,000 increase in insurance premiums and other considerations, a $1,403,000 increase in net investment income, a $870,000 increase in net mortuary and cemetery sales and a $750,000 increase in realized gains on investments and other assets. This increase was partially offset by a $131,000 decrease in other revenues. Insurance premiums and other considerations increased by $2,165,000, or 10.6%, to $22,495,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $20,330,000 for the comparable period in 2005. This increase was primarily due to additional premiums realized from new insurance sales and from the acquisition of Memorial Insurance Company on December 29, 2005.

Net investment income increased by $1,403,000, or 9.4%, to $16,321,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $14,918,000 for the comparable period in 2005. This increase was primarily attributable to additional interest income from increased long-term bond and mortgage purchases over the comparable period in 2005 and additional investment income from the assets received as a result of the acquisition of Memorial Insurance Company. Net mortuary and cemetery sales increased by $870,000, or 10.6% to $9,074,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $8,204,000 for the comparable period in 2005. This increase was due to increased at-need sales at the cemetery and mortuary operations and increased pre-need land sales in cemetery operations. Realized gains on investments and other assets increased by $750,000 to $789,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $39,000 for the comparable period in 2005. This was primarily due to a gain of $760,000 from the sale of the Camelback Funeral Home to the city of Phoenix pursuant to condemnation proceedings to construct a light rail facility. Mortgage fee income increased by $4,840,000, or 9.4%, to $56,162,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $51,322,000 for the comparable period in 2005. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of loan originations during the first nine months of 2006 due to the opening of additional mortgage offices and increased production in existing mortgage offices, which resulted in financing a greater number of mortgage loans. Other revenues decreased by $131,000, or 31.6%, to $284,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $415,000 for the comparable period in 2005. This decrease was due to a reduction in other revenues from the Company's mortuary operations. Total benefits and expenses were $100,796,000, or 95.9% of total revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to $92,307,000, or 96.9% of total revenues, for the comparable period in 2005. This increase primarily resulted from increased loan costs at SecurityNational Mortgage Company due to a greater number of loan originations and additional expenses from the operations of Memorial Insurance Company, which the Company acquired on December 29, 2005. Death benefits, surrenders and other policy benefits, and increase in future policy benefits increased by an aggregate of $2,276,000, or 12.5%, to $20,440,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $18,164,000 for the comparable period in 2005. This increase was primarily due to increased business and to adjustments in actuarial assumptions. Amortization of deferred policy and pre-need acquisition costs and costs of insurance acquired increased by $488,000, or 19.8%, to $2,949,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $2,461,000 for the comparable period in 2005. This increase was primarily due to the realization of improvements in persistency and to expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $5,286,000, or 7.9%, to $72,202,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $66,916,000 for the comparable period in 2005. This increase primarily resulted from an increase in commissions due to a greater number of mortgage loan originations made by SecurityNational Mortgage Company during the first nine months of 2006, additional expenses from the operations of Memorial Insurance Company, which the Company purchased on December 29, 2005, and increased salaries of existing employees and an increase in the number of employees.

Interest expense increased by $268,000, or 8.4%, to $3,440,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $3,172,000 for the comparable period in 2005. This increase was primarily due to increased warehouse lines of credit required for a greater number of warehoused mortgage loans made by SecurityNational Mortgage Company. Cost of goods and services sold of the mortuaries and cemeteries increased by $171,000, or 10.7%, to $1,766,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $1,595,000 for the comparable period in 2005. This increase was primarily due to increased cemetery and mortuary 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 predominantly in fixed maturity securities, mortgage loans, and warehousing of mortgage loans on a short-term basis before selling the loans to investors in accordance with the requirements and laws governing the life insurance subsidiaries. Bonds owned by the life insurance subsidiaries amounted to $99,900,000 as of September 30, 2006, compared to $96,378,000 as of December 31, 2005. This represents 45.3% and 46.0% of the total insurance-related investments as of September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005, respectively. Generally, all bonds owned by the life insurance subsidiaries are rated by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. Under this rating system, there are six categories used for rating bonds. At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, 2% ($1,575,000) and 4% ($3,431,000) of the Company's total bond investments were invested in bonds in rating categories three through six, which are considered non-investment grade. The Company has classified certain of its fixed income securities, including high-yield securities, in its portfolio as available for sale, with the remainder classified as held to maturity. However, in accordance with Company policy, any such securities purchased in the future will be classified as held to maturity. Business conditions, however, may develop in the future which may indicate a need for a higher level of liquidity in the investment portfolio. In that event the Company believes it could sell short-term investment grade securities before liquidating higher-yielding longer-term securities. The Company is subject to risk based capital guidelines established by statutory regulators requiring minimum capital levels based on the perceived risk of assets, liabilities, disintermediation, and business risk. At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the capital levels of the life insurance subsidiary exceeded the regulatory criteria.

The Company's total capitalization of stockholders' equity and bank debt and notes payable was $58,574,000 as of September 30, 2006, as compared to $55,971,000 as of December 31, 2005. Stockholders' equity as a percent of total capitalization was 85% and 82% as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. Lapse rates measure the amount of insurance terminated during a particular period. The Company's lapse rate for life insurance in 2005 was 7.9% as compared to a rate of 9.0% for 2004. The 2006 lapse rate to date has been approximately the same as 2005. At September 30, 2006, $16,884,000 of the Company's consolidated stockholders' equity represents the statutory stockholders' equity of the Company's life insurance subsidiaries. The life insurance subsidiaries cannot pay a dividend to its parent company without the approval of insurance regulatory authorities. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk There have been no significant changes since the annual report Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2005. Item 4. Controls and Procedures (a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures - The Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") as of September 30, 2006. Based on that evaluation, the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective, providing them with material information relating to the Company as required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act on a timely basis.

As a result, no corrective actions were required or undertaken. Part II - Other Information: Item 1. Legal Proceedings The Company received a letter dated November 9, 2004 on behalf of Charles Hood, who worked at Singing Hills Memorial Park in El Cajon, California. Hood was hired in early 2003 as a groundskeeper with his work concluding on October 30, 2003. Hood claims he wrote a letter to the Company expressing his concerns regarding the operation of the cemetery, and that the next day he was terminated, even though he recognizes his relationship was as an at-will employee. Hood's claims against the Company also include, but are not limited to, violation of labor laws, whistleblower retaliation and infliction of emotional distress. The letter proposed a settlement in the amount of $275,000. On November 23, 2005, Hood filed a complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County for San Diego (Case No. GIE 028978) against Singing Hills Memorial Park and California Memorial Estates, Inc, wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. The claims in the complaint include wrongful termination in

violation of public policy, retaliation in violation of public policy, race discrimination in violation of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, retaliation in violation of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, intentional infliction of emotional distress, plus punitive damages, attorney's fees and costs of the lawsuit. There are no specific amounts requested in the complaint, but damages are in an amount to be proven at a jury trial. The Company contends that Hood voluntarily quit and was not terminated. The trial was set for November 2006. The Company reached a settlement with Hood, which resulted in payment of $30,000 to Hood. The Company is not a party to any other material legal proceedings outside the ordinary course of business or to any other legal proceedings, which, if adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.
