Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2009 (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 Articles 8 and 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2008, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (file number 0-9341). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009.

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 construction loans held for investment, those used in determining loan loss reserve, and those used in determining the estimated future costs for pre-need sales. Although some variability is inherent in these estimates, management believes the amounts provided are fairly stated in all material respects.

Certain 2008 amounts have been reclassified to bring them into conformity with the 2009 presentation.

2) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On April 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FSP FAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies. FSP 141(R)-1 amends and clarifies FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007) Business Combinations, to provide guidance related to the initial recognition and measurement of an asset acquired or a liability assumed that arises from a contingency in a business combination. This FSP is effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of FSP FAS 141(R)-1 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1). FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 amends FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 are effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2). FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 amends other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This FSP does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. Earlier adoption for periods ending before March 15, 2009, is not permitted. The adoption of FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions that Are Not Orderly (FSP FAS 157-4). FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. FSP FAS 157-4 also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP FAS 157-4 emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique(s) used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. Earlier adoption for periods ending before March 15, 2009 is not permitted. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 165 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets. SFAS No. 166 revises SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. SFAS No. 166 requires more disclosure about sales of securitized financial assets and similar transactions, particularly if the seller retains some risk to the assets. The statement eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity, changes the requirements for the derecognition of financial assets, and calls upon sellers of the assets to make additional disclosures about them. SFAS No. 166 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. Earlier application is prohibited. This statement must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. The Company has not yet determined the effect on its consolidated financial statements, if any, upon adoption of SFAS No. 166.

3) Comprehensive Income

For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, total comprehensive income amounted to $2,900,185 and $738,984, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, total comprehensive income amounted to $7,462,766 and $3,530,690, respectively.

4) Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has four fixed option plans (the “1993 Plan,” the “2000 Plan”, the “2003 Plan” and the “2006 Plan”). Compensation expense for options issued of $89,100 and $118,113 has been recognized for these plans for the quarters ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $291,611 and $118,113 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Deferred tax has been recognized related to the compensation expense for $30,294 and $40,158 for the quarters ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively and $99,148 and $40,158 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Options to purchase 211,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were granted March 31, 2008. The fair value relating to stock-based compensation is $453,650 and was expensed as options became available to exercise at the rate of 25% at the end of each quarter over the twelve months ended March 31, 2009.

Options to purchase 324,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were granted December 5, 2008. The fair value relating to stock-based compensation is $356,400 and will be expensed as options become available to exercise at the rate of 25% at the end of each quarter over twelve months ended December 31, 2009.

June 30, 2009 (Unaudited)

The weighted-average fair value of each option granted during 2008 under the 2003 Plan and 2006 Plan is estimated at $2.15 for the March 31, 2008 options and $1.10 for the December 31, 2008 options as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 5%, volatility of 63%, risk-free interest of 3.4%, and an expected life of five to ten years.

The Company generally estimates the expected life of the options based upon the contractual term of the options. Future volatility is estimated based upon the historical volatility of the Company’s Class A common stock over a period equal to the estimated life of the options. Common stock issued upon exercise of stock options are generally new share issuances rather than from treasury shares.

7) Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

SFAS No. 157 measures certain investments at fair value, in accordance with SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements:

Defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, and establishes a framework for measuring fair value;

Establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date;

Expands disclosures about financial instruments measured at fair value.

Financial assets and financial liabilities recorded on the consolidated condensed balance sheet at fair value are categorized based on the reliability of inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1: Financial assets and financial liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that we can access.

Level 2: Financial assets and financial liabilities whose values are based on the following:

Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets; or

Valuation models whose inputs are observable, directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability

Level 3: Financial assets and financial liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs may reflect our estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the financial assets and financial liabilities.

We utilize a combination of third party valuation service providers, brokers, and internal valuation models to determine fair value.

The items shown under level one are valued as follows:

On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews its available-for-sale fixed investment securities related to corporate securities and other public utilities, consisting of bonds and preferred stocks that are in a loss position. The review involves an analysis of the securities in relation to historical values, and projected earnings and revenue growth rates. Based on the analysis, a determination is made whether a security will likely recover from the loss position within a reasonable period of time. If it is unlikely that the investment will recover from the loss position, the loss is considered to be other than temporary, the security is written down to the impaired value and an impairment loss is recognized.

On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews its investment in industrial, miscellaneous and all other equity securities that are in a loss position. The review involves an analysis of the securities in relation to historical values, price earnings ratios, projected earnings and revenue growth rates. Based on the analysis, a determination is made whether a security will likely recover from the loss position within a reasonable period of time. If it is unlikely that the investment will recover from the loss position, the loss is considered to be other than temporary, the security is written down to the impaired value and an impairment loss is recognized.

7) Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Continued)

The items shown under level three are valued as follows:

Investment type insurance contracts. 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 credit rates for interest-sensitive insurance products ranged from 4% to 6.5%.

Interest rate lock commitments. The Company’s mortgage banking activities enters into interest rate lock commitments with potential borrowers and forward commitments to sell loans to third-party investors. The Company also implements a hedging strategy for these transactions. A mortgage loan commitment binds the Company to lend funds to a qualified borrower at a specified interest rate and within a specified period of time, generally up to 30 days after inception of the mortgage loan commitment. Mortgage loan commitments are derivatives under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (“SFAS 133”), Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended and are recognized at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet with changes in their fair values recorded as part of other comprehensive income from mortgage banking operations.

Bank loan interest rate swaps: Management considers the interest rate swap instruments to be an effective cash flow hedge against the variable interest rate on bank borrowings since the interest rate swaps mirror the term of the note payable and expire on the maturity date of the bank loans they hedge. The interest rate swaps are derivative financial instruments carried at their fair value.

8) Other Business Activity

Mortgage Operations

SecurityNational Mortgage is a mortgage lender incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah. SecurityNational Mortgage 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. SecurityNational Mortgage obtains loans primarily from independent brokers and retail offices. SecurityNational Mortgage funds the loans from internal cash flows and loan purchase agreements with unaffiliated financial institutions. SecurityNational Mortgage receives fees from the borrowers and other secondary fees from third party investors that purchase its loans. SecurityNational Mortgage sells its loans to third party investors and does not retain servicing of these loans. SecurityNational Mortgage pays the brokers and correspondents a commission for loans that are brokered through SecurityNational Mortgage. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, and 2008, SecurityNational Mortgage originated and sold 9,781 loans ($1,824,623,109 total volume) and 9,790 loans ($1,889,004,323 total volume), respectively.

SecurityNational Mortgage has loan purchase agreements to originate and sell loans to unaffiliated warehouse banks. The total amount available to originate loans under these loan purchase agreements at June 30, 2009 was $250,000,000. SecurityNational Mortgage originates the loans and immediately sells them to the warehouse bank as more fully described below. As of June 30, 2009, mortgage loans totaling $126,071,979 have been sold to warehouse banks and settlement with the third party investor was still pending. Since the mortgage loans have been sold to the warehouse banks, SecurityNational Mortgage is not obligated, except in the circumstances mentioned below, to pay the amounts outstanding on the mortgage loans, but does pay a fee in the form of interest on a portion of the mortgage loans between the date of the sale of the loans to the warehouse bank and the date of the settlement with the third party investor. The terms of the loan purchase agreements are typically for one year, with interest rates on a portion of the mortgage loans ranging from 1.5% to 2.25% over the 30 days LIBOR rate (from 1.81% to 2.55% as of June 30, 2009). SecurityNational Mortgage renewed one of its loan purchase agreements that expired on September 30, 2008 for another one year term. The other loan purchase agreement was terminated in March 2009. The Company is actively pursuing purchase agreements with other warehouse banks.

Mortgage fee income consists of origination fees, processing fees and certain other income related to the origination and sale of mortgage loans. For mortgage loans sold to third party investors, mortgage fee income and related expenses are recognized pursuant to SFAS 140 at the time the sales of mortgage loans meet the sales criteria for the transfer of financial assets which are: (1) the transferred assets have been isolated from the Company and its creditors, (2) the transferee has the right to pledge or exchange the mortgage, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred mortgage. The Company has determined that all three criteria are met at the time the loan is funded. All rights and title to the mortgage loans are assigned to unrelated financial institution investors, including any investor commitments for these loans prior to warehouse banks purchasing these loans under the purchase commitments.

The Company sells all loans to third party investors without recourse. However, the Company may be required to repurchase loans or pay a fee instead of repurchase under certain events such as the following:

Failure to deliver original documents specified by the investor.

The existence of misrepresentation or fraud in the origination of the loan.

The loan becomes delinquent due to nonpayment during the first several months after it is sold.

Early pay-off of a loan, as defined by the agreements.

Excessive time to settle a loan.

Investor declines purchase.

Discontinued product and expired commitment.

Purchase commitments generally specify a date 30 to 45 days after delivery upon which the underlying loans should be settled. Depending on market conditions, these commitment settlement dates can be extended at a cost to the Company. Generally, a ten day extension will cost .125% (12.5 basis points) of the loan amount. The Company’s historical data shows that 99% of all loans originated by the Company are generally settled by the investors as agreed within 16 days after delivery. There are situations when the Company determines that it is unable to enforce the settlement of loans rejected by the third-party investors and that it is in the Company’s best interest to repurchase those loans from the warehouse banks. It is the Company's policy to cure any documentation problems with respect to such loans at a minimal cost for up to a six-month time period and to pursue efforts to enforce purchase commitments from third-party investors concerning mortgage loans. The Company believes that six months allows adequate time to remedy any documentation issues, to enforce purchase commitments, and to exhaust other alternatives. Remedy methods include, but are not limited to:

Research reasons for rejection

Provide additional documents

Request investor exceptions

Appeal rejection decision to purchase committee

Commit to secondary investors

Once purchase commitments have expired and other alternatives to remedy are exhausted, which could be earlier than the six month time period, the loans are repurchased and transferred to the long term investment portfolio at the lower of cost or market value and previously recorded sales revenue is reversed. Any loan that subsequently becomes delinquent is evaluated by the Company at that time and any allowances for impairment are adjusted accordingly.

Determining lower of cost or market: Cost is equal to the amount paid to the warehouse bank and the amount originally funded by the Company. Market value is often difficult to determine, but is based on the following:

For loans that have an active market we use the market price on the repurchased date.

For loans where there is no market but there is a similar product, we use the market value for the similar product on the repurchased date.

For loans where no active market exists on the repurchased date, we determine that the unpaid principal balance best approximates the market value on the repurchased date, after considering the fair value of the underlying real estate collateral and estimated future cash flows.

The appraised value of the real estate underlying the original loan adds significance to the Company’s determination of fair value since, if the loan becomes delinquent, the Company has sufficient value to collect the unpaid principal balance or the carrying value of the loan. In determining the market value on the date of repurchase, the Company considers the total value of all the loans since any sale of loans would be made as a pool.

For mortgages originated and held for investment, mortgage fee income and related expenses are recognized when the loan is originated.

The mortgage industry is still experiencing substantial change due to higher than expected delinquencies from subprime loans. The market for new subprime loans has been substantially reduced and several mortgage companies whose primary product was subprime mortgage originations have ceased operations. The Company funded approximately $5,505,000 (0.14% of the Company’s production) in subprime loans during the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 and eliminated subprime loans from its product offerings in August 2007. The Company believes that its potential losses from subprime loans are minimal.

The industry problem with subprime mortgages has created a volatile secondary market for other products, especially alternative documentation (Alt A) loans. Alt A loans are typically offered to qualified borrowers who have relatively high credit scores but are not required to provide full documentation to support personal income and assets owned. Alt A loans can have a loan to value ratio as high as 100%. The Company discontinued offering these loans in September 2007.

As a result of the volatile secondary market for mortgage loans, the Company sold mortgage loans to certain third party investors in 2007 and 2008 that experienced financial difficulties and were not able to settle the loans. The total amount of these loans was approximately $52,556,000, of which approximately $36,499,000 were in loans where the secondary market no longer exists. Due to these changes in circumstances, the Company regained control of the mortgages and, in accordance with SFAS No. 140, accounted for the loans retained in the same manner as a purchase of the assets from the former transferee(s) in exchange for liabilities assumed. At the time of repurchase, the loans were determined to be held for investment, and the fair value of the loans was determined to approximate the unpaid principal balances adjusted for chargeoffs, the related allowance for loan losses, and net deferred fees or costs on originated loans. The 2008 financial statements reflect the transfer of the mortgage loans from “Mortgage Loans Sold to Investors” to “Mortgage Loans on Real Estate”. The loan sale revenue recorded on the sale of the mortgage loans was reversed on the date the loans were repurchased.

As is standard in the industry, the Company received payments on the mortgage loans during the time period between the sale date and settlement or repurchase date. During this period, the Company services these loans through Security National Life, its life insurance subsidiary.

As of June 30, 2009, the Company’s long term mortgage loan portfolio had $18,068,088 in unpaid principal with delinquencies more than 90 days. Of this amount $13,362,897 was in foreclosure proceedings. The Company has not received or recognized any interest income on the $18,068,088 in mortgage loans with delinquencies more than 90 days. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company increased its allowance for mortgage losses by $61,383 and $842,337, respectively, which was charged to loan loss expense and included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the period. The allowance for mortgage loan losses as of June 30, 2009 was $5,621,573.

Also at June 30, 2009, the cumulative total the Company has foreclosed on is $35,919,370 in long term mortgage loans. The foreclosed property was shown in real estate. The Company is able to carry the foreclosed properties in Security National Life and SecurityNational Mortgage, its life and mortgage subsidiaries, and will rent the properties until it is deemed desirable to sell them.

Southern Security Life Insurance Company

On December 18, 2008, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Southern Security Life Insurance Company. The results of Southern Security’s operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements from December 23, 2008. Southern Security sells and services life insurance, annuity products, accident and health insurance, and funeral plan insurance, all of which are consistent with and will expand the Company’s insurance business.

The Company placed $443,500 of funds in an escrow account with the Company’s law firm which funds have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 in receivables with the liability payable to the selling shareholders of an equal amount included in other liabilities and accrued expenses.

Letter Agreement with Florida Office of Insurance Regulation to Cease Writing New Insurance in Florida

After several months of discussions with the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation concerning the categorization of certain admitted assets, Security National Life received a letter dated June 17, 2009, in which Florida indicated its rejection of Security National Life's position and requested that Security National Life either infuse additional capital or cease writing new business in the State of Florida. Florida’s decision was based upon excess investments in subsidiaries by Security National Life and Florida’s determination to classify as property acquired and held for the purposes of investment, certain real property that Security National Life acquired in satisfaction of creditor rights and subsequently rented to tenants. These determinations resulted in Security National Life exceeding certain investment limitations under Florida law and in a corresponding capital and surplus deficiency as of March 31, 2009. Florida has acknowledged that the deficiency may be cured by the infusion of additional capital in the amount of the excess investments.

Security National Life strongly disagrees with Florida’s interpretation of the Florida statutes, including Florida’s opinion that $21,672,000 of real property that Security National Life acquired in satisfaction of creditor rights as of March 31, 2009 must be included in an investment category that is subject to a limitation of only 5% of admitted assets (which category consists of real estate acquired and held for investment purposes) rather than in the investment category that is subject to a limitation of 15% of admitted assets (which category includes real estate acquired in satisfaction of loans, mortgages, or debts). In rendering its opinion, Florida did not suggest that the real property assets of Security National Life are not fairly stated. The letter further stated that Security National Life may not resume writing insurance in Florida until such time as it regains full compliance with Florida law and receives written approval from Florida authorizing it to resume writing insurance.

On June 18, 2009, Security National Life responded by letter to Florida and expressed its disagreement with Florida’s interpretation of the Florida statutes but, for practical purposes, agreed, beginning as of June 30, 2009 and continuing until Florida determines that Security National Life has attained full compliance with the Florida statutes, to cease originating new insurance policies in Florida and not to enter into any new reinsurance agreements with any Florida domiciled insurance company. The State of Utah, Security National Life’s state of domicile, has not determined Security National Life to have a capital and surplus deficiency, nor is Security National Life aware of any state, other than Florida, in which Security National Life is determined to have a capital and surplus deficiency.

During 2008, the annualized premiums for new insurance policies written by Security National Life in Florida were $464,000, or 4.7% of the total amount of $9,901,000 in annualized premiums for new insurance policies written by Security National Life during the same period. Security National Life is in the process of preparing an application to be submitted to Florida for approval of a Florida only subsidiary for all new insurance business written in Florida. Security National Life believes that if Florida were to approve a Florida only subsidiary, Security National Life would be able to resume writing new insurance policies in Florida in full compliance with the Florida statutes relating to investments in real estate and subsidiaries.

9) Allowance for Loan Losses and Loan Loss Reserve

The Company provides allowances for losses on its mortgage loans through an allowance for loan losses (a contra-asset account) and through the mortgage loan loss reserve (a liability account). The allowance for loan losses and doubtful accounts is an allowance for losses on the Company’s mortgage loans held for investment. When a mortgage loan is past due more than 90 days, the Company, where appropriate, sets up an allowance to approximate the excess of the carrying value of the mortgage loan over the estimated fair value of the underlying real estate collateral. Once a loan is past due more than 90 days the Company does not accrue any interest income and proceeds to foreclose on the real estate. All expenses for foreclosure are expensed as incurred. Once foreclosed, the carrying value approximates its fair value and the amount is classified as real estate. The Company is able to carry the foreclosed properties and will rent the properties until it is deemed desirable to sell them.

The following is a summary of the allowance for loan losses as a contra-asset account for the periods presented:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2009			2008			2009			2008
Balance, beginning of period	$	5,561,421		$	1,797,491		$	4,780,467		$	1,435,131
Provisions for losses		61,383			1,270,125			842,337			1,720,125
Charge-offs		(1,231	)		(121,307	)		(1,231	)		(208,947	)
Balance, June 30, 2009	$	5,621,573		$	2,946,309		$	5,621,573		$	2,946,309

The mortgage loan loss reserve is an estimate of probable losses at the balance sheet date that the Company will realize in the future on mortgage loans sold to third party investors. The Company may be required to reimburse third party investors for costs associated with early payoff of loans within the first six months of such loans and to repurchase loans where there is a default in any of the first four monthly payments to the investors or, in lieu of repurchase, to pay a negotiated fee to the investors. The Company’s estimates are based upon historical loss experience and the best estimate of the probable loan loss liabilities.

Upon completion of a transfer that satisfies the conditions to be accounted for as a sale, the Company initially measures at fair value liabilities incurred in a sale relating to any guarantee or recourse provisions. The Company accrues a monthly allowance for indemnification losses to investors of .20% (20 basis points) of total production. This estimate is based on the Company’s historical experience. The amount accrued for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was $5,052,577 and $9,792,284, respectively and the charge to expense has been included in selling general and administrative expenses. The estimated liability for indemnification losses is included in other liabilities and accrued expenses, and as of June 30, 2009, the balance was $7,833,133.

	Three Months Ended June 30, 2009						Six Months Ended June 30, 2009
	2009			2008			2009			2008
Balance, beginning of period	$	5,337,012		$	3,305,746		$	2,775,452		$	2,356,309
Provisions for losses		5,052,577			1,782,763			9,792,284			3,308,283
Charge-offs		(2,556,456	)		(2,921,176	)		(4,734,603	)		(3,497,259	)
Balance, at June 30, 2009	$	7,833,133		$	2,167,333		$	7,833,133		$	2,167,333

The Company believes the allowance for loan losses and the loan loss reserve represent probable loan losses incurred as of the balance sheet date.

10) Derivative Investments

The Company is exposed to price risk due to the potential impact of changes in interest rates on the values of mortgage loan commitments from the time a derivative loan commitment is made to an applicant to the time the loan that would result from the exercise of that loan commitment is funded. Managing price risk is complicated by the fact that the ultimate percentage of derivative loan commitments that will be exercised (i.e., the number of loan commitments that will be funded) fluctuates. The probability that a loan will not be funded within the terms of the commitment is driven by a number of factors, particularly the change, if any, in mortgage rates following the inception of the interest rate lock. However, many borrowers continue to exercise derivative loan commitments even when interest rates have fallen.

In general, the probability of funding increases if mortgage rates rise and decreases if mortgage rates fall. This is due primarily to the relative attractiveness of current mortgage rates compared to the applicant’s committed rate. The probability that a loan will not be funded within the terms of the mortgage loan commitment also is influenced by the source of the applications (retail, broker, or correspondent channels), proximity to rate lock expiration, purpose for the loan (purchase or refinance); product type and the application approval status. The Company has developed fallout estimates using historical data that take into account all of the variables, as well as renegotiations of rate and point commitments that tend to occur when mortgage rates fall. These fallout estimates are used to estimate the number of loans that the Company expects to be funded within the terms of the mortgage loan commitments and are updated periodically to reflect the most current data.

The Company estimates the fair value of a mortgage loan commitment based on the change in estimated fair value of the underlying mortgage loan and the probability that the mortgage loan will fund within the terms of the commitment. The change in fair value of the underlying mortgage loan is measured from the date the mortgage loan commitment is issued. Therefore, at the time of the issuance, the estimated fair value is zero. Following the issuance, the value of a mortgage loan commitment can be either positive or negative depending upon the change in value of the underlying mortgage loans. Fallout rates derived from the Company’s recent historical empirical data are used to estimate the quantity of mortgage loans that will fund within the terms of the commitments.

The Company utilizes various derivative instruments to economically hedge the price risk associated with its outstanding mortgage loan commitments. Management expects these derivatives will experience changes in fair value opposite to changes in fair value of the derivative loan commitments, thereby reducing earnings volatility related to the recognition in earnings of changes in the values of the commitments. A forward loan sales commitment protects the Company from losses on sales of the loans arising from exercise of the loan commitments by securing the ultimate sales price and delivery date of the loans. For mortgage loan commitments not protected by a forward sales commitment, the instruments used to economically hedge the fair value of the mortgage loan commitments include other freestanding derivatives such as mortgage backed securities, options and U.S. Treasure futures. The Company takes into account various factors and strategies in determining the portion of the mortgage loan commitments it wants to hedge economically.

During 2001, the Company entered into a $2,000,000 note payable to a bank with interest due at a variable interest rate of the Libor rate plus 1.65%. During 2001, the Company also entered into an interest rate swap instrument that effectively fixed the interest rate on the note payable at 6.34% per annum. Management considers the interest rate swap instrument an effective cash flow hedge against the variable interest rate on the bank note since the interest rate swap mirrors the term of the note payable and expires on the maturity date of the bank loan it hedges. The interest rate swap is a derivative financial instrument carried at its fair value.

In the event the swap is terminated, any resulting gain or loss would be deferred and amortized to interest expense over the remaining life of the bank loan it hedged. In the event of early extinguishment the hedged bank loan, any realized or unrealized gain or loss from the hedging swap would be recognized in income coincident with the extinguishment.

11) Commitments and Contingencies

On December 31, 2008, the Company entered into a Coinsurance Funds Withheld Reinsurance Agreement with Continental American Insurance Company (“Continental American”), a South Carolina domiciled insurance company, effective November 30, 2008. The Company ceded to Continental American 100% of a block of deferred annuities in the amount of $4,828,487 as of December 31, 2008 and retained the assets and recorded a funds held under coinsurance liability for the same amount. Continental American has agreed to pay the Company an initial ceding commission of $60,000 and a quarterly management fee of $16,500 per quarter to administer the policies. The Company will also receive a 90% experience refund for any profits on the business. The Company has the right to recapture the business on any date if mutually agreed and with 90 days written notice to Continental American.

The Company has commitments to fund residential construction loans. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had commitments of $31,932,992 for these loans, of which $30,431,880 had been funded. These loans are for new construction. The Company will advance funds once the work has been completed and an independent inspection is made. The maximum loan commitment ranges between 50% to 80% of appraised value. The Company receives fees from the borrowers and the interest rate is generally 1% to 4.75% over the bank prime rate (3.25% as of June 30, 2009). Maturities range between six and twelve months.

In 1998, SecurityNational Mortgage entered into a Loan Purchase Agreement with Lehman Brothers Bank and its wholly owned subsidiary, Aurora Loan Services, LLC. Under the terms of the Loan Purchase Agreement, Lehman Brothers, through its subsidiary, Aurora Loan Services, agreed to purchase mortgage loans from time to time from SecurityNational Mortgage. During 2007, Aurora Loan Services purchased a total of 1,490 mortgage loans in the aggregate amount of $352,774,000 from SecurityNational Mortgage. On January 17, 2008, Aurora Loan Services announced it was suspending all wholesale and correspondent mortgage originations. As a result of this policy change, Aurora Loan Services discontinued purchasing mortgage loans from all mortgage brokers and lenders, including SecurityNational Mortgage.

During 2007, Aurora Loan Services maintained that as part of its quality control efforts it reviewed mortgage loans purchased from SecurityNational Mortgage and determined that certain of the loans contained alleged misrepresentations and early payment defaults. Aurora Loan Services further maintained that these alleged breaches in the purchased mortgage loans provide it with the right to require SecurityNational Mortgage to immediately repurchase the mortgage loans containing the alleged breaches in accordance with the terms of the Loan Purchase Agreement. In order for Lehman Brothers and Aurora Loan Services to refrain from demanding immediate repurchase of the mortgage loans by SecurityNational Mortgage, SecurityNational Mortgage was willing to enter into an agreement to indemnify Lehman Brothers and Aurora Loan Services for any losses incurred in connection with the mortgage loans with alleged breaches that were purchased from SecurityNational Mortgage.

On December 17, 2007, SecurityNational Mortgage entered into an Indemnification Agreement with Lehman Brothers and Aurora Loan Services. Under the terms of the Indemnification Agreement, SecurityNational Mortgage agrees to indemnify Lehman Brothers and Aurora Loan Services for 75% of all losses that Lehman Brothers and Aurora Loan Services may have as a result of any current or future defaults by mortgagors on 54 mortgage loans that were purchased from SecurityNational Mortgage and listed as an attachment to the Indemnification Agreement. SecurityNational Mortgage is released from any obligation to pay the remaining 25% of such losses. The Indemnification Agreement also requires SecurityNational Mortgage to indemnify Lehman Brothers and Aurora Loan Services for 100% of losses incurred on mortgage loans with alleged breaches that are not listed on the attachment to the agreement.

Concurrently with the execution of the Indemnification Agreement, SecurityNational Mortgage paid $395,000 to Aurora Loan Services as a deposit into a reserve account to secure the obligations of SecurityNational Mortgage under the Indemnification Agreement. This deposit is in addition to a $250,000 deposit that SecurityNational Mortgage made to Aurora Loan Services on December 10, 2007, for a total of $645,000. Losses from mortgage loans with alleged breaches are payable by SecurityNational Mortgage from the reserve account. However, Lehman Brothers and Aurora Loan Services are not to apply any funds from the reserve account to a particular mortgage loan until an actual loss has occurred.

The Indemnification Agreement further provides that SecurityNational Mortgage will be entitled to have held back 25 basis points on any mortgage loans that Aurora Loan Services purchases from SecurityNational Mortgage and to add the amount of the basis point holdbacks to the reserve account. SecurityNational Mortgage agreed to deliver to Aurora Loan Services at least $300,000,000 in mortgage loans on an annual basis or at least $600,000,000 in 24 months. These provisions may not be effective, however, because Aurora Loan Services has discontinued purchasing mortgage loans from SecurityNational Mortgage. SecurityNational Mortgage also agrees to pay to Aurora Loan Services the difference between the reserve account balance and $645,000, but in no event will SecurityNational Mortgage be required to pay any amount into the reserve account that would result in a total contribution, including both the basis point holdbacks and cash payments, in excess of $125,000 for any calendar month.

During 2007 and 2008, SecurityNational Mortgage made $1,730,000 in total payments to Aurora Loan Services pursuant to the Indemnification Agreement. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, SecurityNational Mortgage made payments to Aurora Loan Services, of $625,000 and $625,000, respectively. When SecurityNational Mortgage entered into the Indemnification Agreement, it anticipated using basis point holdbacks from loan production credits toward satisfying the $125,000 monthly obligations. Because Aurora Loan Services discontinued purchasing mortgage loans from SecurityNational Mortgage shortly after the Indemnification Agreement was executed, SecurityNational Mortgage has not had the benefit of using the basis point holdbacks toward payment of the $125,000 monthly obligations.

During 2008, funds were paid out of the reserve account to indemnify $1,700,000 in losses from 22 mortgage loans that were among the 54 mortgage loans with alleged breaches which were listed on the attachment to the Indemnification Agreement. The estimated potential losses from the remaining 32 mortgage loans listed on the attachments, which would require indemnification by SecurityNational Mortgage for such losses, is $3,357,000. Moreover, Aurora Loan Services has made a request to be indemnified for losses related to ten mortgage loans not listed on the attachment to the Indemnification Agreement. Aurora Loan Services claims the total amount of such potential losses is $2,746,000. During 2008, the Company recognized losses related to this matter of $1,636,000; however, management cannot fully determine the total losses, if any, nor the rights that the Company may have as a result of Lehman Brothers’ and Aurora Loan Services’ refusal to purchase subsequent loans under the Indemnification Agreement. The Company has accrued an additional $1,073,018 for losses under the Indemnification Agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

On March 5, 2007, the Company received a proposed consent order from the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation concerning the New Success Life Program, the higher education product currently marketed and sold by Southern Security Life. The proposed order states that as a result of the investigation the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation has determined that Southern Security Life violated Florida law (i) by knowingly making statements, sales presentations, omissions or comparisons that misrepresented the benefits, advantages, or terms of the New Success Life Program, and (ii) by knowingly making advertisements, announcements, or statements containing representations that were untrue or misleading.

The proposed order would require Security National Life and Southern Security Life to immediately cease and desist from making any false or misleading representations to Florida consumers suggesting that the New Success Life Program would accumulate enough value to pay for college expenses in full. The proposed order would also require Security National Life and Southern Security Life to agree to no longer market or sell the New Success Life Program in the State of Florida. In addition, Security National Life and Southern Security Life would be required to send a written notice to Florida consumers who purchased the New Success Life Program on or after January 1, 1998 stating that the higher education program is a whole life insurance product, with a term and annuity rider, and not a college trust fund, savings plan, or other program, and it may not necessarily pay college expenses in full from the accumulated value.

Moreover, the written notice is to provide an opportunity for the Florida consumers who purchased the New Success Life Program on or after January 1, 1998 to cancel their policy and be given a full refund, including all premiums paid, together with interest at the agreed upon rate in the original contract. If each of the Florida consumers who purchased the New Success Life Program after January 1, 1998 was to cancel his or her policy and receive a refund, the cost to the Company to refund all premiums paid, including interest, would be approximately $8,200,000.

The proposed consent order would also require Security National Life and Southern Security Life to issue refunds including interest to the eleven policyholders whose affidavits were taken in connection with the administrative complaint that the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation had previously filed against Franz Wallace, the former National Sales Director of Southern Security Life. Security National Life and Southern Security Life would additionally be required to issue refunds, including interest, to any Florida policyholder in the New Success Life Program who had filed a complaint with the Florida Department of Financial Services or whose coverage had lapsed. Furthermore, Security National Life and Southern Security Life would be required to notify the state insurance department in each state in which the New Success Life Program is marketed of the order and any complaint that Southern Security Life received relating to the New Success Life Program from policyholders in that state. Finally, Security National Life and Southern Security Life would be required to pay the Florida Office a penalty of $100,000 and administrative costs of $5,000.

The Company disputes the terms of the proposed consent order. The Company is not aware of specific concerns that the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation has with the New Success Life Program because it has received no administrative complaint from the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation nor is it aware of any recent market conduct examination that the Florida Office has conducted relative to the program. The Company intends to vigorously oppose the proposed consent order. The Company is currently engaged in discussions with the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation in an effort to settle the dispute concerning the proposed order. If the Company is unable to reach a satisfactory resolution with the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation with respect to the terms of the proposed consent order and the Florida Office issues a similar order, the Company intends to take action necessary to protect its rights and interests, including requesting a hearing before an administrative law judge to oppose the order.

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. Based on management’s assessment and legal counsel’s representations concerning the likelihood of unfavorable outcomes, no amounts have been accrued for the above claims in the consolidated financial statements.

The Company is not a party to any other material legal proceedings outside the ordinary course of business or to any other legal proceedings, which, if adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Overview

The Company’s operations over the last several years generally reflect three trends or events which the Company expects to continue: (i) increased attention to “niche” insurance products, such as the Company’s funeral plan policies and traditional whole-life products; (ii) emphasis on cemetery and mortuary business; and (iii) capitalizing on lower interest rates by originating and refinancing mortgage loans.

Mortgage Operations

SecurityNational Mortgage is a mortgage lender incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah. SecurityNational Mortgage 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. SecurityNational Mortgage obtains loans primarily from independent brokers and retail offices. SecurityNational Mortgage funds the loans from internal cash flows and loan purchase agreements with unaffiliated financial institutions. SecurityNational Mortgage receives fees from the borrowers and other secondary fees from third party investors that purchase its loans. SecurityNational Mortgage sells its loans to third party investors and does not retain servicing of these loans. SecurityNational Mortgage pays the brokers and correspondents a commission for loans that are brokered through SecurityNational Mortgage. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, SecurityNational Mortgage originated and sold 9,781 loans ($1,824,623,109 total volume) and 9,790 loans ($1,889,004,000 total volume), respectively.

Commit to secondary investors

For loans that have an active market, we use the market price on the repurchased date.

For loans where there is no market but there is a similar product, we use the market value for the similar product on the repurchased date.

For mortgages originated and held for investment, mortgage fee income and related expenses are recognized when the loan is originated.

The mortgage industry is still experiencing substantial change due to higher than expected delinquencies from subprime loans. The market for new subprime loans has been substantially reduced and several mortgage companies whose primary product was subprime mortgage originations have ceased operations. The Company funded $5,505,000 (0.14% of the Company’s production) in subprime loans during the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 and eliminated subprime loans from its product offerings in August 2007. The Company believes that its potential losses from subprime loans are minimal.

As a result of the volatile secondary market for mortgage loans, the Company sold mortgage loans to certain third party investors in 2007 and 2008 that experienced financial difficulties and were not able to settle the loans. The total amount of these loans was $52,556,000, of which $36,499,000 were in loans where the secondary market no longer exists. Due to these changes in circumstances, the Company regained control of the mortgages and, in accordance with SFAS No. 140, accounted for the loans retained in the same manner as a purchase of the assets from the former transferee(s) in exchange for liabilities assumed. At the time of repurchase, the loans were determined to be held for investment, and the fair value of the loans was determined to approximate the unpaid principal balances adjusted for chargeoffs, the related allowance for loan losses, and net deferred fees or costs on originated loans. The 2008 financial statements reflect the transfer of the mortgage loans from “Mortgage Loans Sold to Investors” to “Mortgage Loans on Real Estate”. The loan sale revenue recorded on the sale of the mortgage loans was reversed on the date the loans were repurchased.

As is standard in the industry, the Company received payments on the mortgage loans during the time period between the sale date and settlement or repurchase date. During this period the Company services these loans through Security National Life, its life insurance subsidiary.

As of June 30, 2009, the Company’s long term mortgage loan portfolio had $18,068,000 in unpaid principal with delinquencies more than 90 days. Of this amount $13,363,000 was in foreclosure proceedings. The Company has not received or recognized any interest income on the $18,068,000 in mortgage loans with delinquencies more than 90 days. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company increased its allowance for mortgage losses by $61,000 and $842,000, respectively, which was charged to loan loss expense and included in selling general and administrative expenses for the period. The allowance for mortgage loan losses as of June 30, 2009 was $5,622,000.

Also at June 30, 2009, the cumulative total the Company has foreclosed on is $35,919,000 in long term mortgage loans. The foreclosed property was shown in real estate. The Company is able to carry the foreclosed properties in Security National Life and SecurityNational Mortgage, its life and mortgage subsidiaries, and will rent the properties until it is deemed desirable to sell them.

During 2008, funds were paid out of the reserve account to indemnify $1,700,000 in losses from 22 mortgage loans that were among the 54 mortgage loans with alleged breaches which were listed on the attachment to the Indemnification Agreement. The estimated potential losses from the remaining 32 mortgage loans listed on the attachment, which would require indemnification by SecurityNational Mortgage for such losses, is $3,357,000. Moreover, Aurora Loan Services has made a request to be indemnified for losses related to ten mortgage loans not listed on the attachment to the Indemnification Agreement. Aurora Loan Services claims the total amount of such potential losses is $2,746,000. During 2008, the Company recognized losses related to this matter of $1,636,000; however, management cannot fully determine the total losses, if any, nor the rights that the Company may have as a result of Lehman Brothers’ and Aurora Loan Services’ refusal to purchase subsequent loans under the Indemnification Agreement. The Company has accrued an additional $1,073,018 for losses under the Indemnification Agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2008

Total revenues decreased by $2,392,000, or 4.0%, to $58,010,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, from $60,402,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Contributing to this decrease in total revenues was a $561,000 decrease in mortgage fee income and a $2,292,000 decrease in investment income. This decrease in total revenues was partially offset by a $195,000 increase in insurance premiums and other considerations, a $210,000 increase in realized gains on investments and other assets, a $45,000 increase in other revenues and a $11,000 increase in net mortuary and cemetery sales.

Insurance premiums and other considerations increased by $195,000, or 2.1%, to $9,310,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, from $9,115,000 for the comparable period in 2008. This increase was primarily the result of the acquisition of Southern Security Life Insurance Company on December 18, 2008.

Net investment income decreased by $2,292,000, or 30.4%, to $5,256,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, from $7,548,000 for the comparable period in 2008. This reduction was primarily attributable to decreased interest income from mortgage loans on real estate (mortgages held for long term and mortgages sold to investors) and construction lending.

Net mortuary and cemetery sales increased by $11,000, or .3%, to $3,402,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, from $3,391,000 for the comparable period in 2008. This increase was due to an increase in at-need sales offset by a decrease in pre-need land sales of burial spaces in the cemetery operations.

Realized gains on investments and other assets increased by $210,000 or 1,235.3% to $227,000 in realized gains for the three months ended June 30, 2009, from $17,000 in realized gains for the comparable period in 2008. This increase in realized gains on investments was due to gains from the sale of equity securities.

Mortgage fee income decreased by $561,000, or 1.4%, to $39,545,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, from $40,106,000 for the comparable period in 2008. This decrease was primarily attributable to an decrease in loan fees charged to originate loans.

Other revenues increased by $45,000, or 20.1%, to $269,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $224,000 for the comparable period in 2008. This increase was due to additional miscellaneous income throughout the Company's operations.

Total benefits and expenses were $53,526,000, or 92.3% of total revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to $57,315,000, or 94.9% of total revenues, for the comparable period in 2008. This decrease primarily resulted from the improved profitability of SecurityNational Mortgage Company.

Death benefits, surrenders and other policy benefits, and increase in future policy benefits increased by an aggregate of $100,000, or 1.2%, to $8,479,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, from $8,379,000 for the comparable period in 2008. This increase was primarily the result of increased death benefits that were partially offset by decreases in future policy benefits.

Amortization of deferred policy and pre-need acquisition costs and value of business acquired increased by $429,000, or 33.9%, to $1,694,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, from $1,265,000 for the comparable period in 2008. This increase was primarily due to an increase in new business and the purchase of Southern Security Life Insurance Company on December 18, 2008.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $3,023,000, or 6.7%, to $42,068,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, from $45,091,000 for the comparable period in 2008. Salaries increased by $91,000 from $6,650,000 in 2008 to $6,741,000 in 2009, primarily due to merit increases in salaries of existing employees. Other expenses increased by $1,642,000 from $8,638,000 in 2008 to $10,280,000 in 2009 due to increased investor fees, loan costs, and foreclosure expenses. Provision for loan losses increased by $1,393,000 from $2,876,000 in 2008 to $4,269,000 in 2009 due primarily to increased loan reserve and loan allowance balances at SecurityNational Mortgage Company. Commission expenses decreased by $6,148,000, from $26,926,000 in the second quarter of 2008 to $20,778,000 in the second quarter of 2009, due to decreased mortgage loan origination costs made by SecurityNational Mortgage, a decrease in sales at the cemetery operations, and a decrease in life insurance sales during the second quarter of 2009.

Interest expense decreased by $1,290,000, or 66.3%, to $663,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, from $1,953,000 for the comparable period in 2008. This reduction was primarily due to decreased warehouse lines of credit required for a reduced number of warehoused mortgage loans by SecurityNational Mortgage.

Cost of goods and services sold of the mortuaries and cemeteries decreased by $6,000, or 1.0%, to $622,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, from $628,000 for the comparable period in 2008. This decrease was primarily due to decreased at-need mortuary sales.

For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, total comprehensive income amounted to $2,900,185 and $738,984, respectively. This increase of $2,161,201 was primarily the result of an increase in net income of $989,756, an increase primarily in derivative gains related to mortgage loans of $583,817, and an increase in unrealized gains in securities available for sale of $587,628.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2008

Total revenues increased by $3,878,000, or 3.4%, to $117,502,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, from $113,624,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Contributing to this increase in total revenues was a $6,204,000 increase in mortgage fee income, a $1,243,000 increase in insurance premiums and other considerations, a $253,000 increase in realized gains on investments and other assets, and a $235,000 increase in other revenues. This increase in total revenues was partially offset by a $3,449,000 decrease in investment income, and a $608,000 decrease in net mortuary and cemetery sales.

Insurance premiums and other considerations increased by $1,243,000, or 7.0%, to $19,094,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, from $17,851,000 for the comparable period in 2008. This increase was primarily the result of additional premiums realized from new insurance sales, and the acquisition of Southern Security Life Insurance Company on December 18, 2008.

Net investment income decreased by $3,449,000, or 23.4%, to $11,304,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, from $14,753,000 for the comparable period in 2008. This reduction was primarily attributable to decreased interest income from mortgage loans on real estate (mortgages held for long term and mortgages sold to investors) and construction lending.

Net mortuary and cemetery sales decreased by $608,000, or 8.7%, to $6,373,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, from $6,981,000 for the comparable period in 2008. This reduction was primarily due to a decrease in pre-need land sales of burial spaces in the cemetery operations and at need sales of mortuary operations.

Realized gains on investments and other assets increased by $253,000 or 632.5% to $293,000 in realized gains for the six months ended June 30, 2009, from $40,000 in realized gains for the comparable period in 2008. This increase in realized gains on investments was due to gains from the sale of equity securities.

Mortgage fee income increased by $6,204,000, or 8.4%, to $79,800,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, from $73,596,000 for the comparable period in 2008. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in secondary gains on mortgage loan production.

Other revenues increased by $235,000, or 58.2%, to $639,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $404,000 for the comparable period in 2008. This increase was due to additional miscellaneous income throughout the Company's operations.

Total benefits and expenses were $108,078,000, or 92.0% of total revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to $108,592,000, or 95.6% of total revenues, for the comparable period in 2008. This decrease primarily resulted from the improved profitability of SecurityNational Mortgage Company.

Death benefits, surrenders and other policy benefits, and increase in future policy benefits increased by an aggregate of $434,000, or 2.6%, to $17,307,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, from $16,873,000 for the comparable period in 2008. This increase was primarily the result of increased insurance business, increased reserves for policyholder benefits and increased death benefits.

Amortization of deferred policy and pre-need acquisition costs and value of business acquired increased by $1,266,000, or 52.5%, to $3,679,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, from $2,413,000 for the comparable period in 2008. This increase was primarily due to an increase in new business and the purchase of Southern Security Life Insurance Company on December 18, 2008.

General and administrative expenses increased by $243,000, or 0.3%, to $84,099,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, from $83,856,000 for the comparable period in 2008. Salaries increased by $711,000 from $12,915,000 in 2008 to $13,626,000 in 2009, primarily due to merit increases in salaries of existing employees. Other expenses increased by $2,343,000 from $18,592,000 in 2008 to $16,249,000 in 2009 due to increased investor fees, loan costs and foreclosure expenses. Provision for loan losses increased by $5,406,000 from $5,029,000 in 2008 to $10,435,000 in 2009 due primarily to increased loan reserve and loan allowance balances at SecurityNational Mortgage Company. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in commission expenses of $8,217,000, from $49,663,000 in the first six months of 2008 to $41,446,000 in the first six months of 2009, due to decreased mortgage loan origination costs made by SecurityNational Mortgage, a decrease in sales at the cemetery operations, and a decrease in life insurance sales during the second quarter of 2009.

Interest expense decreased by $2,381,000, or 57.5%, to $1,763,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, from $4,144,000 for the comparable period in 2008. This reduction was primarily due to decreased warehouse lines of credit required for a reduced number of warehoused mortgage loans by SecurityNational Mortgage.

Cost of goods and services sold of the mortuaries and cemeteries decreased by $76,000, or 5.8%, to $1,229,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, from $1,305,000 for the comparable period in 2008. This decrease was primarily due to decreased cemetery sales and mortuary sales.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, total comprehensive income amounted to $7,462,766 and $3,530,690, respectively. This increase of $3,932,076 was primarily the result of an increase in net income of $2,847,310, an increase primarily in derivative gains related to mortgage loans of $452,016, and an increase in unrealized gains in securities available for sale of $632,750.

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.

During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, the Company's operations provided cash of $22,050,000, and $69,217,000, respectively. This was due primarily to an increase of $3,558,000 in 2009 and a decrease of $57,041,000 in 2008 in the balance of mortgage loans sold to investors, which was attributed to a transfer of loans totaling $36,291,000 to long term mortgages in 2008.

The Company’s liability for future life, annuity and other benefits is expected to be paid out over long-term due to the Company’s market niche of selling funeral plans. Funeral plans are small face value life insurance that will pay the costs and expenses incurred at the time of a person’s death. A person generally will keep these policies in force and will not surrender them prior to a person’s death. Because of the long-term nature of these liabilities the Company is able to hold to maturity its bonds and mortgage loans thus reducing the risk of liquidating these long-term investments as a result of any sudden changes in market values.

The Company attempts to match the duration of invested assets with its policyholder and cemetery and mortuary liabilities. The Company may sell investments other than those held-to-maturity in the portfolio to help in this timing; however, to date, that has not been necessary. The Company purchases short-term investments on a temporary basis to meet the expectations of short-term requirements of the Company’s products.

The Company’s investment philosophy is intended to provide a rate of return, which will persist during the expected duration of policyholder and cemetery and mortuary liabilities regardless of future interest rate movements.

The Company’s investment policy is to invest predominantly in fixed maturity securities, mortgage loans, and warehousing of mortgage loans on a short-term basis before selling the loans to investors in accordance with the requirements and laws governing the life insurance subsidiaries. Bonds owned by the insurance subsidiaries amounted to $117,262,000 as of June 30, 2009 compared to $126,583,000 as of December 31, 2008. This represents 39.1% and 41.6% of the total investments as of June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, 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 June 30, 2009, 6.5% (or $7,661,000) and at December 31, 2008, 2.8% (or $3,485,000) of the Company’s total bond investments were invested in bonds in rating categories three through six, which are considered non-investment grade.

The Company has classified certain of its fixed income securities, including high-yield securities, in its portfolio as available for sale, with the remainder classified as held to maturity. However, in accordance with Company policy, any such securities purchased in the future will be classified as held to maturity. Business conditions, however, may develop in the future which may indicate a need for a higher level of liquidity in the investment portfolio. In that event the Company believes it could sell short-term investment grade securities before liquidating higher-yielding longer-term securities.

The Company measures certain investments at fair value, in accordance with SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements:

Establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date;

Expands disclosures about financial instruments measured at fair value.

Financial assets and financial liabilities recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value are categorized based on the reliability of inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1: Financial assets and financial liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that we can access.

Level 2: Financial assets and financial liabilities whose values are based on the following:

Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets; or

Valuation models whose inputs are observable, directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

We utilize a combination of third party valuation service providers, brokers, and internal valuation models to determine fair value.

The items shown under level one are valued as follows:

The items shown under level three are valued as follows:

Interest rate lock commitments. The Company’s mortgage banking activities enters into new practices relating to mortgage loan commitments, including interest rate lock commitments with potential borrowers and forward commitments to sell loans to third-party investors. The Company also implemented a hedging strategy for these transactions. A mortgage loan commitment binds the Company to lend funds to a qualified borrower at a specified interest rate and within a specified period of time, generally up to 30 days after inception of the mortgage loan commitment. Mortgage loan commitments are derivatives under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (“SFAS 133”), Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended and are recognized at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet with changes in their fair values recorded as part of other comprehensive income from mortgage banking operations.

Bank loan interest rate swaps. Management considers the interest rate swap instruments to be an effective cash flow hedge against the variable interest rate on bank borrowings since the interest rate swaps mirror the term of the note payable and expire on the maturity date of the bank loans they hedge. The interest rate swaps are a derivative financial instruments carried at their fair value.

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 June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, the life insurance subsidiary exceeded the regulatory criteria.

The Company’s total capitalization of stockholders’ equity, and bank debt and notes payable were $69,639,000 as of June 30, 2009, as compared to $60,552,000 as of December 31, 2008. Stockholders’ equity as a percent of total capitalization was 88.9% and 89.0% as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Bank debt and notes payable increased $1,078,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 when compared to December 31, 2008, thus decreasing the stockholders equity percentage.

Lapse rates measure the amount of insurance terminated during a particular period. The Company’s lapse rate for life insurance in 2008 was 9.0% as compared to a rate of 7.9% for 2007. The 2009 lapse rate to date has been approximately the same as 2008.

At June 30, 2009, $20,882,000 of the Company’s consolidated stockholders’ equity represents the statutory stockholders’ equity of the Company’s life insurance subsidiaries. The life insurance subsidiaries cannot pay a dividend to its parent company without the approval of insurance regulatory authorities.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

There have been no significant changes since the annual report on Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") as of June 30, 2009. Based upon the evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2009. Disclosure controls are controls and procedures designed to reasonably ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this report, are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls include controls and procedures designed to reasonably ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as of June 30, 2009.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a comprehensive system of internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), to provide reasonable assurance of the proper authorization of transactions, the safeguarding of assets, and the reliability of the financial records. The internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to management and the Company's Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. The system of internal control over financial reporting provides for appropriate division of responsibility and is documented by written policies and procedures that are communicated to employees. The criteria or framework upon which management relied in evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was set forth in Internal Controls -- Integrated Framework published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on the results of the Company's evaluation, management concluded that the internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2009.

Inherent Limitations of Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Control over Financial Reporting. It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

On March 5, 2007, the Company received a proposed consent order from the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation concerning the New Success Life Program, the higher education product previously marketed and sold by Southern Security Life and now marketed and sold by Security National Life. The proposed order states that as a result of an investigation the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation has determined that Southern Security Life violated Florida law (i) by knowingly making statements, sales presentations, omissions or comparisons that misrepresented the benefits, advantages, or terms of the New Success Life Program, and (ii) by knowingly making advertisements, announcements, or statements containing representations that were untrue or misleading.

The proposed consent order would also require Security National Life and Southern Security Life to issue refunds including interest to the eleven policyholders whose affidavits were taken in connection with the administrative complaint that the Florida Office of the Insurance Regulation had previously filed against Franz Wallace, the former National Sales Director of Southern Security Life. Security National Life and Southern Security Life would additionally be required to issue refunds, including interest, to any Florida policyholder in the New Success Life Program who had filed a complaint with the Florida Department of Financial Services or whose coverage had lapsed. Furthermore, Security National Life and Southern Security Life would be required to notify the state insurance department in each state in which the New Success Life Program is marketed of the order and any complaint that Southern Security Life received relating to the New Success Life Program from policyholders in that state. Finally, Security National Life and Southern Security Life would be required to pay the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation a penalty of $100,000 and administrative costs of $5,000.

The Company disputes the terms of the proposed consent order. The Company is not aware of specific concerns that the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation has with the New Success Life Program because it has received no specific administrative complaint from the Florida Office nor is it aware of any recent market conduct examination that the Florida Office has conducted relative to the program. The Company intends to vigorously oppose the proposed consent order. The Company has engaged in discussions with the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation in an effort to settle the dispute concerning the proposed order. If the Company is unable to reach a satisfactory resolution with the Florida Office with respect to the terms of the proposed consent order and the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation issues a similar order, the Company intends to take action necessary to protect its rights and interests, including requesting a hearing before an administrative law judge to oppose the order.

Except for the proposed consent order from the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation, the Company is not a party to any material proceedings outside the ordinary course of business or to any other legal proceedings, which if adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operation.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The recent adverse developments in the mortgage industry and credit markets have adversely affected the Company’s ability to sell certain of its mortgage loans to investors, which has impacted the Company’s financial results by requiring it to assume the risk of holding and servicing many of these loans.

The mortgage industry is still experiencing substantial change due to higher than expected delinquencies from subprime loans. The market for new subprime loans has been substantially reduced and several mortgage companies whose primary product was subprime mortgage originations have ceased operations. The Company funded $5.4 million (0.2% of the Company’s production) in subprime loans during the twelve months ending December 31, 2007 and eliminated subprime loans from its product offerings in August 2007. The Company believes that its potential losses from subprime loans are minimal.

The industry problem with subprime mortgages has created a volatile secondary market for other products, especially alternative documentation (Alt A) loans. Alt A loans are typically offered to qualified borrowers who have relatively high credit scores but are not required to provide full documentation to support personal income and assets owned. Alt A loans can have a loan to value ratio as high as 100%. As a result of these changes, the Company discontinued offering these loans in September 2007.

As a result of the volatile secondary market, for mortgage loans, the Company sold mortgage loans to certain third party investors that experienced financial difficulties and were not able to settle the loans. The total amount of these loans was $52,556,000, of which $36,499,000 were in loans where the secondary market no longer exists. Due to these changes in circumstances, the Company regained control of the mortgages and, in accordance with SFAS No. 140, accounted for the loans retained in the same manner as a purchase of the assets from the former transferee(s) in exchange for liabilities assumed. At the time of repurchase, the loans were determined to be held for investment, and the fair value of the loans was determined to approximate the unpaid principal balances adjusted for chargeoffs, the related allowance for loan losses, and net deferred fees or costs on originated loans. The 2008 financial statements reflect the transfer of the mortgage loans from “Mortgage Loans Sold to Investors” to “Mortgage Loans on Real Estate”. The loan sale revenue recorded on the sale of the mortgage loans was reversed on the date the loans were repurchased.

As a standard in the industry, the Company received payments on the mortgage loans during the time period between the sale date and settlement or repurchase date. The Company will service these loans through Security National Life, its life insurance subsidiary.

The Company provides allowances for losses on its mortgage loans through an allowance for loan losses (a contra-asset account) and through the mortgage loan loss reserve (a liability account). The allowance for loan losses and doubtful accounts is an allowance for losses on the Company’s mortgage loans held for investment. When a mortgage loan is past due more than 90 days, the Company, where appropriate, sets up an allowance to approximate the excess of the carrying value of the mortgage loan over the estimated fair value of the underlying real estate collateral. Once a loan is past due more than 90 days the Company does not accrue any interest income and proceeds to foreclose on the real estate. All expenses for foreclosure are expensed as incurred. Once foreclosed, the carrying value will approximate its fair value and the amount will be classified as real estate. The Company will be able to carry the foreclosed properties in Security National Life and SecurityNational Mortgage, its life and mortgage subsidiaries, and will rent the properties until it is deemed desirable to sell them.

As of June 30, 2009, the Company’s long term mortgage loan portfolio had $18,068,000 in unpaid principal with delinquencies more than 90 days. Of this amount $13,363,000 was in foreclosure proceedings. The Company has not received any interest income on the $18,068,000 in mortgage loans with delinquencies more than 90 days. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company has increased its allowance for mortgage loan losses by $61,000 and $842,000, respectively, which allowance was charged to loan loss expense and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the period. The allowance for mortgage loan losses as of June 30, 2009 was $5,622,000.

Also, at June 30, 2009, the Company had foreclosed on $35,919,000 in long term mortgage loans. The foreclosed property is shown in real estate. The Company will be able to carry the foreclosed properties in Security National Life and SecurityNational Mortgage, its life and mortgage subsidiaries, and will rent the properties until it is deemed desirable to sell them.

In addition to the allowance for mortgage loan losses, the Company also accrues a monthly allowance for indemnification losses to investors of .20% (20 basis points) of total production. The amount accrued for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was $5,053,000 and $9,792,000, respectively, and included in other general and administrative expenses. The reserve for indemnification losses is included in other liabilities and, as of June 30, 2009, the balance was $7,833,000.

The following is a description of the most significant additional 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 these risks 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 risks.

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 loss on the sale.

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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated 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, construction loans and other receivables, 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.

Acquisition of Southern Security Life Insurance Company, a Mississippi Insurance Company

On December 18, 2008, Security National Financial Corporation, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Security National Life, completed a stock purchase transaction with Southern Security Life Insurance Company, a Mississippi domiciled insurance company ("Southern Security"), and its shareholders to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Southern Security from its shareholders. Under the terms of the transaction as set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement among Security National Life, Southern Security and the shareholders of Southern Security, Security National Life paid to the shareholders of Southern Security purchase consideration equal to $1,352,000, representing the capital and surplus, interest maintenance reserve, and asset valuation reserve of Southern Security as of September 1, 2008, the date that Security National Life assumed administrative control over Southern Security, plus $1,500,000, representing the ceding commission that had been paid on August 29, 2008, plus $75,883, representing an allowance for the actual losses experienced by Southern Security in the second quarter ended June 30, 2008, less certain adjustments. Thus, the total purchase price before adjustments was $2,928,000.

As of December 31, 2007, Southern Security had 24,323 policies in force and approximately 393 agents. For the year ended December 31, 2007, Southern Security had revenues of $4,231,000 and a net loss of $496,000. As of December 31, 2007, the statutory assets and the capital and surplus of Southern Security were $24,402,000 and $758,000, respectively. As of June 30, 2008, the statutory assets and the capital and surplus of Southern Security were $24,780,000 and $713,000, respectively.

As adjustments to the purchase consideration, the shareholders of Southern Security deposited at closing $175,000 of the purchase consideration into an interest bearing escrow account as the deposit amount (the "Deposit Amount"). This Deposit Amount is to be held for a period of six months from the closing date ("the Holdback Period") and used to pay the amount of any adjustments required under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement. At the end of the Holdback Period, the escrow agent agrees to transfer the remaining amounts of the Deposit Amount, following the payment of any adjustments, into a real estate deposit account to be held and distributed in accordance with the items of the escrow agreement. The shareholders additionally deposited at closing $268,500 of the purchase consideration into an interest bearing escrow account as the real estate deposit amount (the "Real Estate Deposit Amount"). This Real Estate Deposit Amount represents about 50% of the total outstanding balance on a loan that Southern Security made to Wade Nowell Funeral Homes, Inc. in the form of a promissory note, which note is secured by a funeral home property in Collins, Mississippi. The Real Estate Deposit Amount will be increased by the amount of funds transferred from the Deposit Amount at the end of the Holdback Period.

The shareholders have granted to Security National Life a security interest in the Real Estate Deposit Amount to secure payment of the promissory note also secured by the funeral home in Collins, Mississippi. Beginning on September 1, 2009, the escrow agent agrees to release to the shareholders on a pro rata basis an amount equal to the principal reduction of the promissory note that has occurred during the preceding August 1 through July 31 period, until such time as the Real Estate Deposit Amount (including funds transferred from the Deposit Amount) and any accrued interest, have been paid to the shareholders. However, no payments will be made to the shareholders from the Real Estate Deposit Amount if the note is in default. In the event there is a default in the payment of the note, Security National Life has the right to receive payment from the Real Estate Deposit Amount for the amount of such default or to foreclose on the note pursuant to the terms thereunder and to receive payment from the Real Estate Deposit Amount in an amount equal to the full amount of any losses and expenses incurred by Security National Life as a result of such default and enforcement of its rights pursuant thereto. The shareholders have the right to refinance the existing debt on the note.

As further adjustments, Southern Security transferred its interest in a certain trust, known as the Nowell Legacy Trust, to the shareholders at closing and the purchase consideration to be paid to the shareholders was reduced by $316,026, the admitted value of the trust as reflected in the financial statements of Southern Security on September 1, 2008, the date that Security National Life assumed administrative control over Southern Security under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement. Finally, the purchase consideration was reduced by $84,081 for payments that Security National Life made in behalf of the shareholders for legal and accounting fees and other expenses, and by $163,715 at the instruction of the shareholders to pay off a promissory note with Ray-Nowell Funeral Home, Inc., which was secured by funeral home properties in Senatobia, Mississippi.

The Stock Purchase Agreement further provided that Security National Life and Southern Security were to enter into a reinsurance agreement contemporaneous with the execution of such Stock Purchase Agreement. Under the terms of this reinsurance agreement, Security National Life is required to reinsure all of the in force and future insurance liabilities of Southern Security. On August 29, 2008, in furtherance of the requirements of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Security National Life and Southern Security entered into a reinsurance agreement (the “Reinsurance Agreement”) to reinsure the majority of the in force business of Southern Security, as reinsurer, to the extent permitted by the Mississippi Department of Insurance. Security National Life also assumed complete administrative control of all of the then current and future insurance related business operations of Southern Security. Pursuant to the terms of the Reinsurance Agreement, Security National Life paid a ceding commission to Southern Security in the amount of $1,500,000.

As a result of the Reinsurance Agreement, certain insurance business and operations of Southern Security were transferred to Security National Life, including all policies in force as of the administrative control date. Any future business by Southern Security would be covered by this Reinsurance Agreement. As of September 1, 2008, when Security National Life assumed administrative control over the insurance related business operations of Southern Security, Southern Security transferred approximately $23,600,000 in assets and liabilities to Wachovia Bank, N.A. of St. Louis, Missouri, as custodian for Security National Life pursuant to the Reinsurance Agreement and the Custodial Agreement among Southern Security, Security National Life, and Wachovia Bank N.A. Following the completion of the stock purchase transaction, Southern Security has continued to sell and service life insurance, annuity products, and funeral plan insurance.
