SECURITY NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2003, (Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2003. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2002,
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K (file number 0-9341).
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
The estimates susceptible to significant change are those used in determining
the liability for future policy benefits and claims, those used in determining
valuation allowances for mortgage loans on real estate, and those used in
determining the estimated future costs for pre-need sales. Although some
variability is inherent in these estimates, management believes the amounts
provided are adequate.
2. Comprehensive Income
For the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, total comprehensive
income amounted to $4,344,997 and $2,357,975, respectively.
For the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, total comprehensive
income amounted to $2,339,192 and $807,461, respectively.
3. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the recognition and
measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, and related interpretations. 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.
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 earnings for three months ended September
30, 2003, and 2002 would not have been effected. Net earnings for the nine
months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 would have been reduced by the
following:

6. Recent Acquisition
On December 23, 2002, the Company completed an asset purchase transaction with
Acadian Life Insurance Company, a Louisiana domiciled life insurance company
("Acadian Life"), in which it acquired from Acadian Life $75,000,000 in assets
and $75,000,000 in insurance reserves through its wholly owned subsidiary,
Security National Life Insurance Company, a Utah domiciled life insurance
company. The acquired assets consist primarily of approximately 275,000 funeral
insurance policies in force in the state of Mississippi. The assets were
originally acquired by Acadian Life from Gulf National Life Insurance Company
("GNLIC") on June 6, 2001, consisting of all of GNLIC's insurance policies in
force and in effect on June 1, 2001.
7. Potential Stock Redemption
The Company entered into an agreement with a stockholder in August 2003 wherein
it purchased 124,000 shares of Class A Common Stock from this stockholder for
$6.00 per share. The purchase of these shares is reflected in treasury stock as
of September 30, 2003.
Also under the terms of this agreement, this stockholder has agreed not to
purchase or control, directly or indirectly, any additional shares of Class A or
Class C common stock through August 2007, and on August 27, 2004, 2005 and 2006,
this stockholder may request, but is not obligated to request, the Company to
purchase an additional 100,000 shares of Class A common stock held by this
stockholder for $6.00 per share. In accordance with the Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 150, the Company has recorded $1,800,000 as a
liability under the assumption that the stockholder could request the Company to
purchase these shares, and has reduced stockholders' equity for the same amount.
This amount has not been recorded at its present value because the discount is
not material. The Company is not aware of the intention of the stockholder to
exercise his right in the future. In the event that the stockholder does not
exercise his right, the amount recorded as a liability will be reduced and
stockholders' equity will be increased.
8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies
financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as
derivatives) and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This Statement is effective for
contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, with certain exceptions,
and for hedging relationships designated after September 30, 2003. We are
currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS No. 149 will have on
our results of operations and financial position.
In January 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities." SFAS No. 46 is currently effective for periods beginning
after December 15, 2003. SFAS No. 46 clarifies the application of Accounting
Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements," to certain
entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a
controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the
entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial
support from a separate enterprise. Such entities are identified as Variable
Interest Entities. The objective of SFAS No. 46 is to improve financial
reporting by those separate enterprises involved with variable interest
entities. If those separate enterprises have a controlling financial interest in
a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities, and results of the
activities of the variable interest entity should be included in the financial
statements with those of the business enterprise. Management does not believe
the adoption of SFAS No. 46 will have a material effect on the Company's
financial position or results of operations. SFAS No. 46 further requires the
disclosure of certain information related to variable interest entities in which
the Company holds a significant variable interest. The Company does not believe
that it owns any such interests that require disclosure at this time.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis
Overview
The Company's operations over the last several years generally reflect three
trends or events which the Company expects to continue: (i) increased attention
to "niche" insurance products, such as the Company's funeral plan policies and
traditional whole-life products; (ii) emphasis on cemetery and mortuary
business; and (iii) capitalizing on lower interest rates by originating and
refinancing mortgage loans.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, Security National Mortgage
Company ("SNMC") experienced increases in revenue and expenses due to the
increase in loan volume of its operations. SNMC is a mortgage lender
incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah. SNMC is approved and regulated
by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), a department of the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), to originate mortgage loans that qualify
for government insurance in the event of default by the borrower. SNMC obtains
loans primarily from independent brokers and correspondents. SNMC funds the
loans from internal cash flows and lines of credit from financial institutions.
SNMC receives fees from the borrowers and other secondary fees from third party
investors who purchase the loans from SNMC. SNMC sells all of its loans to third
party investors and does not retain servicing to these loans. SNMC pays the
brokers and correspondents a commission for loans that are brokered through
SNMC. SNMC originated and sold 14,487 ($2,125,995,000) and 7,403
($1,075,229,000) loans respectively for the nine months ended September 30, 2003
and 2002.
On December 23, 2002, the Company completed an asset purchase transaction with
Acadian Life Insurance Company, a Louisiana domiciled life insurance company, in
which it acquired from Acadian Life $75,000,000 in assets and $75,000,000 in
insurance reserves through its wholly owned subsidiary, Security National Life
Insurance Company, a Utah domiciled life insurance company. The acquired assets
consist primarily of approximately 275,000 funeral insurance policies in force
in the state of Mississippi. The assets were originally acquired by Acadian Life
from Gulf National Life Insurance Company ("GNLIC") on June 6, 2001, consisting
of all of GNLIC's insurance policies in force and in effect on June 1, 2001.
Results of Operations
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2003 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30,
2002
Total revenues increased by $53,452,000, or 85.2%, to $116,221,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2003, from $62,769,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002. Contributing to this increase in total revenues was a
$42,150,000 increase in mortgage fee income, a $7,022,000 increase in insurance
premiums and other considerations, and a $5,126,000 increase in net investment
income.
Insurance premiums and other considerations increased by $7,022,000, or 68.0%,
to $17,342,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, from $10,320,000
for the comparable period in 2002. This increase was primarily due to the
additional insurance premiums from the policies acquired in the asset purchase
transaction with Acadian Life.
Net investment income increased by $5,126,000, or 60.3%, to $13,630,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2003, from $8,504,000 for the comparable period
in 2002. This increase was primarily attributable to the additional investment
income from the assets acquired in the asset purchase transaction with Acadian
Life.
Net mortuary and cemetery sales increased by $71,000, or 0.9%, to $8,026,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2003, from $7,955,000 for the comparable
period in 2002. This increase was primarily due to increased sales of cemetery
properties.
Realized gains on investments and other assets decreased by $748,000 or 100.3%,
to $(2,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, from $746,000 for the
comparable period in 2002. The realized gains on investments and other assets in
2002 were from the sale of property at Lake Hills Cemetery.
Mortgage fee income increased by $42,150,000, or 121.0%, to $76,979,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2003, from $34,829,000 for the comparable period
in 2002. This increase was primarily attributable to a greater number of loan
originations during the nine months of 2003 due to lower interest rates
resulting in more borrowers refinancing their mortgage loans.
Total benefits and expenses were $106,790,000, or 91.9%, of total revenues for
the nine months ended September 30, 2003, as compared to $59,417,000, or 94.7%,
of total revenues for the comparable period in 2002.
Death benefits, surrenders and other policy benefits, and increase in future
policy benefits increased by an aggregate of $6,893,000, or 73.6%, to
$16,263,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, from $9,370,000 for
the comparable period in 2002. This increase was primarily due to the additional
death benefits, surrenders and other policy benefits from the policies acquired
in the asset purchase transaction with Acadian Life.
Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and cost of insurance acquired
increased by $1,288,000, or 55.2%, to $3,622,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2003, from $2,334,000 for the comparable period in 2002. This
increase was primarily due to the additional amortization of deferred policy
acquisition costs and cost of insurance acquired from the additional policies
acquired in the asset purchase transaction with Acadian Life.
General and administrative expenses increased by $36,891,000, or 81.6%, to
$82,075,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, from $45,184,000 for
the comparable period in 2002. This increase primarily resulted from an increase
in commissions and other expenses due to additional mortgage loan originations
having been made by the Company's mortgage subsidiary during the nine months of
2003.
Interest expense increased by $2,117,000, or 208.8%, to $3,131,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2003, from $1,014,000 for the comparable period in
2002. This increase was primarily due to additional warehouse lines of credit
required for the additional mortgage loan originations by the Company's mortgage
subsidiary.
Cost of goods and services sold of the mortuaries and cemeteries increased by
$184,000, or 12.1%, to $1,699,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003,
from $1,515,000 for the comparable period in 2002. This increase was primarily
due to increased costs of funeral products.
Third Quarter of 2003 Compared to Third Quarter of 2002
Total revenues increased by $12,355,000, to $37,875,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2003, from $25,520,000 for the three months ended September
30, 2002. Contributing to this increase in total revenues was a $8,078,000
increase in mortgage fee income, a $2,124,000 increase in insurance premiums and
other considerations, and a $2,212,000 increase in net investment income.
Insurance premiums and other considerations increased by $2,124,000, or 58.6%,
to $5,752,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003, from $3,628,000 for
the comparable period in 2002. This increase was primarily due to the additional
insurance premiums from the policies acquired in the asset purchase transaction
with Acadian Life.
Net investment income increased by $2,212,000, or 72.5%, to $5,265,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 2003, from $3,053,000 for the comparable period
in 2002. This increase was primarily attributable to the additional investment
income from the assets acquired in the asset purchase transaction with Acadian
Life.
Net mortuary and cemetery sales increased by $13,000, or .5%, to $2,731,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 2003, from $2,718,000 for the comparable
period in 2002. This increase was primarily due to increased sales of cemetery
properties.
Mortgage fee income increased by $8,078,000, or 50.5 %, to $24,067,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 2003, from $15,989,00 for the comparable period
in 2002. This increase was primarily attributable to a greater number of loan
originations during the third quarter of 2003, due to lower interest rates
resulting in more borrowers refinancing their mortgage loans.
Total benefits and expenses were $34,284,000, or 90.5%, of total revenues for
the three months ended September 30 2003, as compared to $24,332,000, or 95.3%,
of total revenues for the comparable period in 2002.
Death benefits, surrenders and other policy benefits, and increase in future
policy benefits increased by an aggregate of $2,044,000, or 62.6%, to $5,311,000
for the three months ended September 30, 2003, from $3,267,000 for the
comparable period in 2002. This increase was primarily due to the additional
death benefits, surrenders and other policy benefits from the policies acquired
in the asset purchase transaction with Acadian Life.
Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and cost of insurance acquired
increased by $787,000 or 139.2%, to $1,353,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2003, from $566,000 for the comparable period in 2002. This
increase was primarily due to the additional amortization of deferred policy
acquisition costs and cost of insurance acquired from the additional policies
acquired in the asset purchase transaction with Acadian Life.
General and administrative expenses increased by $6,240,000, or 32.0%, to
$25,713,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003, from $19,473,000 for
the comparable period in 2002. This increase primarily resulted from an increase
in commissions and other expenses due to additional mortgage loan originations
having been made by the Company's mortgage subsidiary during the second quarter
of 2003.
Interest expense increased by $840,000, or 171.2%, to $1,332,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2003, from $491,000 for the comparable period in
2002. This increase was primarily due to additional warehouse lines of credit
required for the additional mortgage loan originations by the Company's mortgage
subsidiary.
Cost of goods and services sold of the mortuaries and cemeteries increased by
$40,000, or 7.5%, to $575,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003,
from $535,000 for the comparable period in 2002. This increase was primarily due
to the increase in the cost of merchandise of funeral products.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's life insurance subsidiaries and cemetery and mortuary subsidiaries
realize cash flow from premiums, contract payments and sales on personal
services rendered for cemetery and mortuary business, from interest and
dividends on invested assets, and from the proceeds from the maturity of
held-to-maturity investments, or sale of other investments. The mortgage
subsidiary realizes cash flow from fees generated by originating and refinancing
mortgage loans and interest earned on mortgages sold to investors. The Company
considers these sources of cash flow to be adequate to fund future policyholder
and cemetery and mortuary liabilities, which generally are long-term, and
adequate to pay current policyholder claims, annuity payments, expenses on the
issuance of new policies, the maintenance of existing policies, debt service,
and operating expenses.
The Company attempts to match the duration of invested assets with its
policyholder and cemetery and mortuary liabilities. The Company may sell
investments other than those held-to-maturity in the portfolio to help in this
timing; however, to date, that has not been necessary. The Company purchases
short-term investments on a
temporary basis to meet the expectations of short-term requirements of the
Company's products. The Company's investment philosophy is intended to provide a
rate of return, which will persist during the expected duration of policyholder
and cemetery and mortuary liabilities regardless of future interest rate
movements.
The Company's investment policy is to invest predominantly in fixed maturity
securities, mortgage loans, and warehouse mortgage loans on a short-term basis
before selling the loans to investors in accordance with the requirements and
laws governing the life insurance subsidiaries. Bonds owned by the life
insurance subsidiaries amounted to $51,351,000 as of September 30, 2003,
compared to $51,530,000 as of December 31, 2002. This represents 49% and 51% of
the total insurance-related investments as of September 30, 2003, and December
31, 2002, respectively. Generally, all bonds owned by the life insurance
subsidiaries are rated by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.
Under this rating system, there are six categories used for rating bonds. At
September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, 3% ($1,785,000) and 4% ($1,903,000) of
the Company's total investment in bonds were invested in bonds in rating
categories three through six, which are considered non-investment grade.
The Company has classified certain of its fixed income securities, including
high-yield securities, in its portfolio as available for sale, with the
remainder classified as held to maturity. However, in accordance with Company
policy, any such securities purchased in the future will be classified as held
to maturity. Business conditions, however, may develop in the future which may
indicate a need for a higher level of liquidity in the investment portfolio. In
that event the Company believes it could sell short-term investment grade
securities before liquidating higher-yielding longer-term securities.
The Company has a substantial portion of its assets invested in cash, short-term
investments and mortgage loans sold to investors. If market conditions were to
change so that rates for these investments were to decline or if these
investments and higher yielding long-term investments were not available, the
Company's interest rate spread (excess interest earned over interest credited to
policyholders) would be adversely affected and could result in significant
decreases in the Company's overall profitability or losses.
The Company is subject to risk based capital guidelines established by statutory
regulators requiring minimum capital levels based on the perceived risk of
assets, liabilities, disintermediation, and business risk. At September 30,
2003, and December 31, 2002, the life insurance subsidiary exceeded the
regulatory criteria.
The Company's total capitalization of stockholders' equity and bank debt and
notes payable was $54,852,000 as of September 30, 2003, as compared to
$53,787,000 as of December 31, 2002. Stockholders' equity as a percent of
capitalization increased to 66% as of September 30, 2003, from 64% as of
December 31, 2002.
Lapse rates measure the amount of insurance terminated during a particular
period. The Company's lapse rate for life insurance in 2002 was 10.7% as
compared to a rate of 13.2% for 2001. The 2003 lapse rate has been approximately
the same as 2002.
At September 30, 2003, $23,355,000 of the Company's consolidated stockholders'
equity represents the statutory stockholders' equity of the Company's life
insurance subsidiaries. The life insurance subsidiaries cannot pay a dividend to
its parent company without the approval of insurance regulatory authorities.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure of Market Risk
There have been no significant changes since the annual report Form 10-K filed
for the year ended December 31, 2002.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company's Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer (the
"Certifying Officers"), are responsible for establishing and maintaining
disclosure controls and procedures for the Company. The Certifying Officers have
concluded (based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures as of a
date within 90 days of the filing of this report) that the design and operation
of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule
13a-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective. No
significant changes were made in the Company's internal controls or in other
factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of
the evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant
deficiencies and material weaknesses.
Part II Other Information:
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
An action was brought against the Company in May 2001, by Glenna Brown Thomas
individually and as personal representative of the Estate of Lynn W. Brown in
the Third Judicial Court, Salt Lake County, Utah. The action asserts that
Memorial Estates delivered to Lynn W. Brown six stock certificates representing
2,000 shares in 1970 and 1971. Mr. Brown died in 1972. It is asserted that at
the time the 2,000 shares were issued and outstanding, such represented a 2%
ownership of Memorial Estates. It is alleged Mr. Brown was entitled to
preemptive rights and that after the issuance of the stock to Mr. Brown there
were further issuances of stock without providing written notice to Mr. Brown or
his estate with respect to an opportunity to purchase more stock. It is asserted
among other things that the plaintiff "has the right to a transfer of Brown's
shares to Thomas on defendants' (which includes Security National Financial
Corporation as well as Memorial Estates, Inc.) books and to restoration of
Brown's proportion of share ownership in Memorial at the time of his death by
issuance and delivery to Thomas of sufficient shares of defendant's publicly
traded and unrestricted stock in exchange for the 2,000 shares of Memorial stock
and payment of all dividends from the date of Thomas's demand, as required by
Article XV of the Articles of Incorporation." The formal discovery cutoff is
January 15, 2004. Based on present information, the Company intends to
vigorously defend the matter, including an assertion that the statute of
limitations bars the claims.
An action was brought against Southern Security Life Insurance Company by
National Group Underwriters, Inc. ("NGU") in state court in the State of Texas.
The case was removed by the Company to the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division, with Civil No. 4:01-CV-403-E.
An Amended Complaint was filed on or about July 18, 2001. The Amended Complaint
asserted that NGU had a contract with the Company wherein NGU would submit
applications for certain policies of insurance to be issued by the Company. It
alleged that disputes had arisen between NGU and the Company with regard to the
calculation and payment of certain advanced commissions as well as certain
production bonuses.
NGU alleged that it had been damaged far in excess of the $75,000 minimum
jurisdictional limits of the Federal Court. NGU also sought attorney's fees and
costs as well as prejudgment and postjudgment interest. A second amended
complaint and a third amended complaint, which included a fraud claim, were
filed. A motion was filed by the Company to dismiss the third amended complaint,
including the fraud claim. The court denied the motion. The Company
counterclaimed for what it claimed to be a debit balance owing to it pursuant to
the relationship between the parties with said counterclaim seeking such from
NGU (the amount subject to reduction as premiums are received). The Company also
sought to recover attorney's fees and costs, as well as punitive damages on
three of its causes of action. Certain discovery took place. The federal case
was dismissed per stipulation. The matter was refiled in Texas state court,
Tarrant County, Case No. 348 195490 02. The claims of the respective parties are
essentially the same as set forth above, which claims against Southern Security
Life Insurance Company include fraudulent inducement relative to entering into a
contract, fraud, breach of contract, breach of duty of good faith and fair
dealing, attorneys' fees and exemplary damages. Certain depositions have been
taken since the filing again in state court and further discovery is
anticipated. The Company intends to vigorously defend the matter as well as
prosecute its counterclaim. A trial is presently set for July, 2004.
The Company is not a party to any other legal proceedings outside the ordinary
course of the Company's business or to any other legal proceedings, which, if
adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on the Company or its
business.
