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:

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%.

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.

years ended December 31, 2000:

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 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.

statements and schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and

We conducted our audits in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by

We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of

Years Ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998
1) Significant Accounting Principles
General Overview of Business
Security National Financial Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (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 marketed primarily in the
intermountain west, California, Florida, Oklahoma, and Texas. The cemetery and
mortuary segment of the Company consists of five cemeteries in Utah, one
cemetery in California, eight mortuaries in Utah and six mortuaries in Arizona.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

The fair values for fixed maturity securities are based on quoted market prices,
when available. 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. Expected maturities
may differ from contractual maturities because certain borrowers may have the
right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment
penalties.

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:

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.

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.

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. Class B shares are non-voting stock except
to any proposed amendment to the Articles of Incorporation which would affect
Class B Common Stock.

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:

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.

On October 16, 2000, the Company adopted the Security National Financial
Corporation 2000 Director Stock Option Plan (the "2000 Plan"), which reserved
50,000 shares of Class A Common Stock for issuance thereunder. 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.
The 2000 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
subdivisions, combination or stock dividend.

13) Statutory-Basis Financial Information
The Company's life insurance subsidiaries are domiciled in Utah and Florida and
prepare their statutory-basis financial statements in accordance with accounting
practices prescribed or permitted by the Utah and Florida Insurance Departments.
"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:

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.

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.

Retirement Plans
George R. Quist, who has been Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of
the Company since 1979, has a Deferred Compensation Agreement, dated December 8,
1988, with the Company (the "Compensation Agreement"). This Compensation
Agreement provides upon Mr. Quist's retirement the Company shall pay him $50,000
per year as an annual retirement benefit for a period of 10 years from the date
of retirement; and upon his death, the remainder of such annual payments shall
be payable to his designated beneficiary.
The Compensation Agreement further provides that the Board of Directors may
elect to pay the entire amount of deferred compensation in the form of a single
lump-sum payment or other installment payments, so long as the term of such
payments do not exceed 10 years. However, in the event Mr. Quist's employment
with the Company is terminated for any reason other than retirement, death or
disability, the entire deferred compensation shall be forfeited by him.
William C. Sargent, who has been Senior Vice President of the Company since
1980, has a Deferred Compensation Agreement dated April 15, 1994, with the
Company (the "Compensation Agreement"). This Compensation Agreement provides
upon Mr. Sargent's retirement the Company shall pay him $50,000 per year as an
annual retirement benefit for a period of 10 years from the date of retirement;
and upon his death, the remainder of such annual payments shall be payable to
his designated beneficiary.
The Compensation Agreement further provides that the Board of Directors may
elect to pay the entire amount of deferred compensation in the form of a single
lump-sum payment or other installment payments, so long as the term of such
payments do not exceed 10 years. However, in the event Mr. Sargent's employment
with the Company is terminated for any reason other than retirement, death or
disability, the entire deferred compensation shall be forfeited by him.
Employment Agreement
The Company maintains an employment agreement with Scott M. Quist. The
agreement, which has a five year term, was entered into in 1996, and renewed in
1997. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Quist is to devote his full time to
the Company serving as its Treasurer, First Vice President, and General Counsel
at not less than his current salary and benefits, and to include $500,000 of
life insurance protection. In the event of disability, Mr. Quist's salary would
be continued for up to 5 years at 50% of its current level. In the event of a
sale or merger of the Company, and Mr. Quist were not retained in his current
position, the Company would be obligated to continue Mr. Quist's current
compensation and benefits for seven years following the merger or sale.
Director Compensation
Directors of the Company (but not including directors who are employees) are
paid a director's fee of $8,400 per year by the Company for their services and
are reimbursed for their expenses in attending board and committee meetings. No
additional fees are paid by the Company for committee participation or special
assignments. However, each director is provided with an annual grant of stock
options to purchase 1,000 shares of Class A Common Stock under the 2000 Director
Stock Option Plan.
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.
