Item 1. Business

Security National Financial Corporation (the “Company”) operates in three main business segments: life insurance, cemetery and mortuary, and mortgage loans. The life insurance segment is engaged in the business of selling and servicing selected lines of life insurance, annuity products and accident and health insurance. These products are marketed in 38 states through a commissioned sales force of independent licensed insurance agents who may also sell insurance products of other companies. The cemetery and mortuary segment of the Company consists of five cemeteries in the state of Utah and one cemetery in the state of California, and seven mortuaries in the state of Utah and one mortuary in the state of Arizona. The Company also engages in pre-need selling of funeral, cemetery, mortuary and cremation services through its Utah, Arizona and California operations. Many of the insurance agents also sell pre-need funeral, cemetery and cremation services. The mortgage loan segment is an approved government and conventional lender that originates and underwrites or otherwise purchases residential and commercial loans for new construction, existing homes and real estate projects. The mortgage loan segment operates through 91 wholesale and retail offices in nineteen states, and is an approved mortgage lender in several other states.

The design and structure of the Company are that each business segment is related to the other business segments and contributes to the profitability of the other segments. Because of the Company’s cemetery and mortuary operations in Utah, California and Arizona, the Company enjoys a level of public awareness that assists in the sales and marketing of insurance and pre-need cemetery and funeral products. The Company’s insurance subsidiaries invest their assets (representing, in part, the pre-paid funerals) in investments authorized by the respective insurance departments of their states of domicile. One such investment authorized by insurance departments is mortgage loans. Thus, while each business segment is a profit center on a stand-alone basis, this horizontal integration of each segment is planned to lead to improved profitability of the Company. The Company also pursues growth through acquisitions. The Company’s acquisition business strategy is based on reducing the overhead cost of the acquired company by utilizing the Company’s existing personnel, management, and technology while still providing quality service to customers and policyholders.

The Company was organized as a holding company in 1979, when Security National Life Insurance Company (“Security National Life”) became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the former stockholders of Security National Life became stockholders of the Company. Security National Life was formed in 1965 and has grown through the direct sales of life insurance and annuities, and through the acquisition of other insurance companies.

The cemetery and mortuary operations have also grown through the acquisition of other cemetery and mortuary companies. In 1989, the Company acquired Paradise Chapel Funeral Home, Inc. and, in 1991, it acquired Holladay Memorial Park, Inc., Cottonwood Mortuary, Inc. and Deseret Memorial, Inc. In 1993, the Company formed SecurityNational Mortgage Company (“SecurityNational Mortgage”) to originate and refinance residential mortgage loans. See Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding segments of the business.

Life Insurance

Products

The Company, through Security National Life and its insurance subsidiaries, Memorial Insurance Company of America (“Memorial Insurance Company”), Southern Security Life Insurance Company (“Southern Security”) and Trans-Western Life Insurance Company (“Trans-Western”), issues and distributes selected lines of life insurance and annuities. The Company’s life insurance business includes funeral plans, and interest-sensitive life insurance, as well as other traditional life, accident and health insurance products. The Company places specific marketing emphasis on funeral plans through pre-need planning.

A funeral plan is a small face value life insurance policy that generally has face coverage of up to $25,000. The Company believes that funeral plans represent a marketing niche that has lower competition because most insurance companies do not offer similar coverage. The purpose of the funeral plan policy is to pay the costs and expenses incurred at the time of a person’s death. On a per thousand dollar cost of insurance basis, these policies can be more expensive to the policyholder than many types of non-burial insurance due to their low face amount, requiring the fixed cost of the policy administration to be distributed over a smaller policy size, and the simplified underwriting practices that result in higher mortality costs.

Markets and Distribution

The Company is licensed to sell insurance in 38 states. The Company, in marketing its life insurance products, seeks to locate, develop and service specific “niche” markets. A “niche” market is an identifiable market that the Company believes is not emphasized by most insurers. Funeral plan policies are sold primarily to persons who range in age from 45 to 85. Even though people of all ages and income levels purchase funeral plans, the Company believes that the highest percentage of funeral plan purchasers are individuals who are older than 45 and have low to moderate income.

A majority of the Company’s funeral plan premiums come from the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas and Utah.

The Company sells its life insurance products through direct agents, brokers and independent licensed agents who may also sell insurance products of other companies. The commissions on life insurance products range from approximately 50% to 120% of first year premiums. In those cases where the Company utilizes its direct agents in selling such policies, those agents customarily receive advances against future commissions.

In some instances, funeral plan insurance is marketed in conjunction with the Company’s cemetery and mortuary sales force. When it is marketed by that group, the beneficiary is usually the Company’s cemeteries and mortuaries. Thus, death benefits that become payable under the policy are paid to the Company’s cemetery and mortuary subsidiaries to the extent of services performed and products purchased.

In marketing funeral plan insurance, the Company also seeks and obtains third-party endorsements from other cemeteries and mortuaries within its marketing areas. Typically, these cemeteries and mortuaries will provide letters of endorsement and may share in mailing and other lead-generating costs. The incentive for such businesses to share the costs is that these businesses are usually made the beneficiary of the policy. The following table summarizes the life insurance business for the five years ended December 31, 2012:

(4)	Includes coinsurance with Mothe Life Insurance Company on December 19, 2012.

Underwriting

The Factors considered in evaluating an application for ordinary life insurance coverage can include the applicant’s age, occupation, general health and medical history. Upon receipt of a satisfactory (non-funeral plan insurance) application, which contains pertinent medical questions, the Company writes insurance based upon its medical limits and requirements subject to the following general non-medical limits:

Age Nearest Birthday	Non-Medical Limits

0-50	$100,000
51-up	Medical information required (APS or exam)

When underwriting life insurance, the Company will sometimes issue policies with higher premium rates for substandard risks.

The Company’s funeral plan insurance is written on a simplified medical application with underwriting requirements being a completed application, a phone inspection on selected applicant and a Medical Information Bureau inquiry. There are several underwriting classes in which an applicant can be placed.

Annuities

Products

The Company’s annuity business includes single premium deferred annuities, flexible premium deferred annuities and immediate annuities. A single premium deferred annuity is a contract where the individual remits a sum of money to the Company, which is retained on deposit until such time as the individual may wish to annuitize or surrender the contract for cash. A flexible premium deferred annuity gives the contract holder the right to make premium payments of varying amounts or to make no further premium payments after his initial payment. These single and flexible premium deferred annuities can have initial surrender charges. The surrender charges act as a deterrent to individuals who may wish to surrender their annuity contracts.

Annuities have guaranteed interest rates that range from 1% to 6.5% per annum. Above that, the interest rate credited is periodically determined by the Board of Directors at their discretion. An immediate annuity is a contract in which the individual remits to the Company a sum of money in return for the Company’s obligation to pay a series of payments on a periodic basis over a designated period of time, such as an individual’s life, or for such other period as may be designated.

Holders of annuities generally enjoy a significant benefit under current federal income tax law in that interest accretions that are credited to the annuities do not incur current income tax expense on the part of the contract holder. Instead, the interest income is tax deferred until such time as it is paid out to the contract holder. In order for the Company to realize a profit on an annuity product, the Company must maintain an interest rate spread between its investment income and the interest rate credited to the annuities. Commissions, issuance expenses and general and administrative expenses are deducted from this interest rate spread.

Markets and Distribution

The general market for the Company’s annuities is middle to older age individuals who wish to save or invest their money in a tax-deferred environment, having relatively high yields. The major source of annuity considerations comes from direct agents. Annuities are also sold in conjunction with other insurance sales. If an individual does not qualify for a funeral plan due to health considerations, the agent will often sell that individual an annuity to fund those final expenses.

The following table summarizes the annuity business for the five years ended December 31, 2012:

Accident and Health

Products

Prior to the acquisition of Capital Investors in 1994, the Company did not actively market accident and health products. With the acquisition of Capital Investors, the Company acquired a block of accident and health policies that pay limited benefits to policyholders. The Company is currently offering low-cost comprehensive diver’s accident policies. These policies provide worldwide coverage for medical expense reimbursement in the event of diving accidents.

Markets and Distribution

The Company currently markets its accident policies through web marketing.

Reinsurance

The primary purpose of reinsurance is to enable an insurance company to write a policy in an amount larger than the risk it is willing to assume for itself. The Company remains obligated for amounts ceded in the event the reinsurers do not meet their obligations.

The Company currently cedes and assumes certain risks with various authorized unaffiliated reinsurers pursuant to reinsurance treaties, which are renewable annually. The premiums paid by the Company are based on a number of factors, primarily including the age of the insured and the risk ceded to the reinsurer.

The Company’s policy is to retain no more than $100,000 of ordinary insurance per insured life. Excess risk is reinsured. The total amount of life insurance in force at December 31, 2012, reinsured by other companies, aggregated $92,484,000, representing approximately 3.2% of the Company’s life insurance in force on that date.

See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition” and “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional disclosure and discussion regarding reinsurance.

Investments

The investments that support the Company’s life insurance and annuity obligations are determined by the Investment Committee of the Board of Directors of the various subsidiaries and ratified by the full Board of Directors of the respective subsidiaries. A significant portion of the investments must meet statutory requirements governing the nature and quality of permitted investments by insurance companies. The Company’s interest-sensitive type products, primarily annuities and interest-sensitive whole life, compete with other financial products such as bank certificates of deposit, and brokerage sponsored money market funds as well as competing life insurance company products. Although it is not the Company’s policy to offer the highest yield in this economic climate, in order to offer what the Company considers to be a competitive yield, it maintains a diversified portfolio consisting of common stocks, preferred stocks, municipal bonds, investment and non-investment grade bonds, mortgage loans, real estate, short-term investments and other securities and investments.

Cemetery and Mortuary

Products

The Company has six wholly-owned non-denominational cemeteries and eight wholly-owned mortuaries. Through its cemetery and mortuary operations, the Company markets a variety of products and services both on a pre-need basis (prior to death) and an at-need basis (at the time of death). The products include plots, interment vaults, mausoleum crypts and niches, markers, caskets, flowers and other related products. The services include professional services of funeral directors, opening and closing of graves, use of chapels and viewing rooms, and use of automobiles and clothing. The Company has a funeral chapel at each of its cemeteries, other than Holladay Memorial Park and Singing Hills Memorial Park, and has four separate stand-alone mortuary facilities.

Markets and Distribution

The Company’s pre-need cemetery and mortuary sales are marketed to persons of all ages but are generally purchased by persons 45 years of age and older. The Company is limited in its geographic distribution of these products to areas lying within an approximate 20-mile radius of its mortuaries and cemeteries. The Company’s at-need sales are similarly limited in geographic area.

The Company actively seeks to sell its cemetery and funeral products to customers on a pre-need basis. The Company employs cemetery sales representatives on a commission basis to sell these products. Many of these pre-need cemetery and mortuary sales representatives are also licensed insurance salesmen and sell funeral plan insurance. In many instances, the Company’s cemetery and mortuary facilities are the named beneficiary of the funeral plan policies.

Potential customers are located via telephone sales prospecting, responses to letters mailed by the pre planning consultants, newspaper inserts, referrals, and door-to-door canvassing. The Company trains its sales representatives and generates leads for them.

Mortgage Loans

Products

Beginning in 1993, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, SecurityNational Mortgage Company (“SecurityNational Mortgage”), has been active in the residential real estate market. The Company has current approvals through HUD, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and other substantial secondary market investors, which enable it to originate a variety of residential mortgage loan products that are subsequently sold to investors. The Company also uses internal and external funding sources with unaffiliated financial institutions.

Security National Life, an affiliate of SecurityNational Mortgage, originates commercial real estate loans both for internal investment as well as for sale to unaffiliated investors and also originates residential construction loans.

Markets and Distribution

The Company’s residential mortgage lending services are marketed primarily to mortgage originators. SecurityNational Mortgage maintains a majority of its retail origination presence in the Utah, Florida, California, Illinois and Texas markets in addition to four wholesale branch offices located in California, Florida, Texas and Utah, with sales representatives in these and other states. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition” and “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional disclosure and discussion regarding mortgage loans.

Recent Acquisitions and Other Business Activities

Reinsurance with Mothe Life Insurance Company and DLE Life Insurance Company

On December 19, 2012, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Security National Life, entered into a Coinsurance Agreement with Mothe Life Insurance Company, a Louisiana domiciled insurance company, and a subsidiary, DLE Life Insurance Company, also a Louisiana domiciled life insurance company (collectively referred to as “Mothe Life”). The effective date of the Coinsurance Agreement was November 1, 2012. Under the terms of the Coinsurance Agreement, Security National Life agreed to reinsure certain insurance policies of Mothe Life in exchange for the settlement amount of $34,485,000. In addition, the Coinsurance Agreement provided that effective November 1, 2012, Mothe Life ceded and transferred to Security National Life, and Security National Life accepted and coinsured all of Mothe Life’s contractual liabilities under the coinsured policies by means of indemnity reinsurance. On December 18, 2012, the Louisiana Department of Insurance approved the Coinsurance Agreement.

The Coinsurance Agreement further provided that on and after the effective date of November 1, 2012, Security National Life was entitled to exercise all contractual rights of Mothe Life under the coinsured policies in accordance with the terms and provisions of such policies. Moreover, after the closing date of December 19, 2012, the Company agreed to be responsible for all the contractual liabilities under the coinsured policies, including the administration of the coinsured policies at its sole expense in accordance with the terms and conditions of a Service Agreement between Security National Life and Mothe Life. Pursuant to the terms of the Coinsurance Agreement, Security National Life paid a ceding commission to Mothe Life in the amount of $4,684,000. As a result of the ceding commission, Mothe Life transferred $34,485,000 in assets and $39,169,000 in statutory reserves, or liabilities, to Security National Life.

Reinsurance with North America Life Insurance Company

On March 30, 2011, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Security National Life, completed a Coinsurance Agreement with North America Life Insurance Company (“North America Life”), a Texas domiciled insurance company. Under the terms of the Coinsurance Agreement, Security National Life agreed to reinsure certain insurance policies of North America Life in exchange for the settlement amount of $15,703,000. Effective as of December 1, 2010, North America Life ceded or transferred to Security National Life, and Security National Life accepted and coinsured all of North America Life’s contractual liabilities under the coinsured policies by means of indemnity reinsurance. The Coinsurance Agreement was approved by the Texas Department of Insurance.

The Coinsurance Agreement also provides that on and after the effective date of December 1, 2010, Security National Life is entitled to exercise all contractual rights of North America Life under the coinsured policies in accordance with the terms and provisions of such policies. Moreover, after the closing date of March 30, 2011, the Company agreed to be responsible for all the contractual liabilities under the coinsured policies, including the administration of the coinsured policies at its sole expense in accordance with the terms and conditions of a services agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Coinsurance Agreement, Security National Life paid a ceding commission to North America Life in the amount of $3,526,000. In addition, North America Life transferred $15,703,000 in assets and $19,230,000 in statutory reserves, or liabilities net of due and deferred premiums, to Security National Life. The $15,703,000 in assets included $12,990,000 in cash, $9,000 in policy loans, and $2,704,000 in promissory notes secured by real estate properties located in Bexar, Liberty, Travis and Wilson Counties in the State of Texas. The promissory notes are also guaranteed by business entities and an individual.

On September 1, 2011, Security National Life with the approval of the Texas Department of Insurance assumed all of the policies which were issued by North America Life previously assumed and coinsured pursuant to the terms of the Coinsurance Agreement. Security National Life has assumed the same terms and conditions as set forth in each policy and certificates of assumptions were sent to all policyholders.

On August 31, 2011, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with North America Life to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Trans-Western Life Insurance Company (“Trans-Western”), a Texas domiciled insurance company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of North America Life. The Company completed the Stock Purchase Agreement on May 2, 2012. The purchase consideration paid was $494,000, which was equal to the capital and surplus of Trans-Western on May 2, 2012. On March 20, 2012, the Texas Insurance Department approved the Stock Purchase Agreement, and all of Trans-Western’s insurance business was ceded to North America Life, of which approximately 47% of the insurance in force was assumed by the Company under the Coinsurance Agreement as described in Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Statements. As part of the stock purchase agreement, the Company recaptured the 47% of insurance in force.

Regulation

The Company’s insurance subsidiaries, Security National Life, Memorial Insurance Company, Southern Security and Trans-Western are subject to comprehensive regulation in the jurisdictions in which they do business under statutes and regulations administered by state insurance commissioners. Such regulation relates to, among other things, prior approval of the acquisition of a controlling interest in an insurance company; standards of solvency which must be met and maintained; licensing of insurers and their agents; nature of and limitations on investments; deposits of securities for the benefit of policyholders; approval of policy forms and premium rates; periodic examinations of the affairs of insurance companies; annual and other reports required to be filed on the financial condition of insurers or for other purposes; and requirements regarding aggregate reserves for life policies and annuity contracts, policy claims, unearned premiums, and other matters. The Company’s insurance subsidiaries are subject to this type of regulation in any state in which they are licensed to do business. Such regulation could involve additional costs, restrict operations or delay implementation of the Company’s business plans.

The Company is currently subject to regulation in Utah, Arkansas, Mississippi and Texas under insurance holding company legislation, and other states where applicable. Generally, intercompany transfers of assets and dividend payments from insurance subsidiaries are subject to prior notice of approval from the state insurance department, if they are deemed “extraordinary” under these statutes. The insurance subsidiaries are required, under state insurance laws, to file detailed annual reports with the supervisory agencies in each of the states in which they do business. Their business and accounts are also subject to examination by these agencies.

The Company’s cemetery and mortuary subsidiaries are subject to the Federal Trade Commission’s comprehensive funeral industry rules and to state regulations in the various states where such operations are domiciled. The morticians must be licensed by the respective state in which they provide their services. Similarly, the mortuaries and cemeteries are governed and licensed by state statutes and city ordinances in Utah, Arizona and California. Reports are required to be kept on file on a yearly basis which include financial information concerning the number of spaces sold and, where applicable, funds provided to the Endowment Care Trust Fund. Licenses are issued annually on the basis of such reports. The cemeteries maintain city or county licenses where they conduct business.

The Company’s mortgage subsidiary, SecurityNational Mortgage, is subject to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and to various state licensing acts and regulations. These regulations, among other things, specify minimum capital requirements, the procedures for the origination, the underwriting, the licensing of wholesale brokers, quality review audits and the amounts that can be charged to borrowers for all FHA and VA loans. Each year, the Company must have an audit by an independent registered public accounting firm to verify compliance under these regulations. In addition to the government regulations, the Company must meet loan requirements of various investors who purchase the loans.

Income Taxes

The Company’s insurance subsidiaries, Security National Life, Memorial Insurance Company, Southern Security and Trans-Western are taxed under the Life Insurance Company Tax Act of 1984. Under the act, life insurance companies are taxed at standard corporate rates on life insurance company taxable income. Life insurance company taxable income is gross income less general business deductions, reserves for future policyholder benefits (with modifications), and a small life insurance company deduction (up to 60% of life insurance company taxable income). The Company may be subject to the corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). The exposure to AMT is primarily a result of the small life insurance company deduction. Also, under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, distributions in excess of stockholders’ surplus account or a significant decrease in life reserves will result in taxable income.

Security National Life, Memorial Insurance Company, Southern Security and Trans-Western may not receive the benefit of the small life insurance company deduction. In order to qualify for the small company deduction, the combined tax assets of the Company must be less than $500,000,000 and the taxable income of the life insurance companies must be less than $3,000,000 on a tax accounting basis. To the extent that the net income limitation is exceeded, the small life insurance company deduction is phased out over the next $12,000,000 of life insurance company taxable income. The combined tax assets of the Company exceeded $500,000,000 as of December 31, 2012.

Since 1990 Security National Life, Memorial Insurance Company, Southern Security and Trans-Western have computed their life insurance taxable income after establishing a provision representing a portion of the costs of acquisition of such life insurance business. The effect of the provision is that a certain percentage of the Company’s premium income is characterized as deferred expenses and recognized over a five to ten year period.

The Company’s non-life insurance company subsidiaries are taxed in general under the regular corporate tax provisions. For taxable years beginning January 1, 1987, the Company may be subject to the Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax under the Tax Reform Act of 1986.

Competition

The life insurance industry is highly competitive. There are approximately 2,000 legal reserve life insurance companies in business in the United States. These insurance companies differentiate themselves through marketing techniques, product features, price and customer service. The Company’s insurance subsidiaries compete with a large number of insurance companies, many of which have greater financial resources, a longer business history, and more diversified line of insurance coverage than the Company. In addition, such companies generally have a larger sales force. Further, many of the companies with which the Company competes are mutual companies which may have a competitive advantage because all profits accrue to policyholders. Because the Company is small by industry standards and lacks broad diversification of risk, it may be more vulnerable to losses than larger, better-established companies. The Company believes that its policies and rates for the markets it serves are generally competitive.

The cemetery and mortuary industry is also highly competitive. In Salt Lake City, Phoenix and San Diego areas where the Company competes, there are a number of cemeteries and mortuaries which have longer business histories, more established positions in the community, and stronger financial positions than the Company. In addition, some of the cemeteries with which the Company must compete for sales are owned by municipalities and, as a result, can offer lower prices than can the Company. The Company bears the cost of a pre-need sales program that is not incurred by those competitors which do not have a pre-need sales force. The Company believes that its products and prices are generally competitive with those in the industry.

The mortgage industry is highly competitive with a large number of mortgage companies and banks in the same geographic area in which the Company is operating. The mortgage industry in general is sensitive to changes in interest rates and the refinancing market is particularly vulnerable to changes in interest rates.

Employees

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had 933 full-time and 299 part-time employees.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

Lehman Brothers – Aurora Loan Services Litigation

On April 15, 2005, SecurityNational Mortgage entered into a loan purchase agreement with Lehman Brothers Bank, FSB (“Lehman Bank”). Under the terms of the loan purchase agreement, Lehman Bank agreed to purchase mortgage loans from time to time from SecurityNational Mortgage. During 2007, Lehman Bank and its wholly owned subsidiary, Aurora Loan Services LLC (“Aurora Loan Services”), purchased a total of 1,490 mortgage loans in the aggregate amount of $352,774,000 from SecurityNational Mortgage. Lehman Bank asserted that certain mortgage loans that it purchased from SecurityNational Mortgage during 2007 contained alleged misrepresentations and early payment defaults. As a result of these alleged breaches in the mortgage loans, Lehman Bank contended it had the right to require SecurityNational Mortgage to repurchase certain loans or be liable for losses related to such loans under the loan purchase agreement. SecurityNational Mortgage disagrees with these claims.

On December 17, 2007, SecurityNational Mortgage entered into an Indemnification Agreement with Lehman Bank and Aurora Loan Services. Under the terms of the Indemnification Agreement, SecurityNational Mortgage agreed to indemnify Lehman Bank and Aurora Loan Services for 75% of all losses that Lehman Bank and Aurora Loan Services may incur relative to breaches by mortgagors pertaining to 54 mortgage loans that were purchased from SecurityNational Mortgage. SecurityNational Mortgage was released from any obligation to pay the remaining 25% of such losses. The Indemnification Agreement also required SecurityNational Mortgage to indemnify Lehman Bank and Aurora Loan Services for 100% of any future losses incurred on mortgage loans with breaches that were not among the 54 mortgage loans.

Pursuant to the Indemnification Agreement, SecurityNational Mortgage paid $395,000 to Aurora Loan Services as a deposit into a reserve account, to secure any obligations of SecurityNational Mortgage under the Indemnification Agreement. This deposit was in addition to a $250,000 deposit that SecurityNational Mortgage previously made into the reserve account for a total of $645,000. Losses from mortgage loans with alleged breaches were payable from the reserve account. However, Lehman Bank and Aurora Loan Services were not to apply any funds from the reserve account to a particular mortgage loan until an actual loss had occurred. Under the Indemnification Agreement SecurityNational Mortgage was to pay to Aurora Loan Services each calendar month the difference between the reserve account balance and $645,000, but in no event would SecurityNational Mortgage be required to make payments into the reserve account in excess of $125,000 for any calendar month.

Since the reserve account was established, funds had been paid from the account to indemnify $4,281,000 in alleged losses from 31 mortgage loans that were among the 54 mortgage loans with alleged breaches that were covered by the Indemnification Agreement and ten other mortgage loans with alleged breaches. In the last monthly billing statement dated April 24, 2011 to SecurityNational Mortgage, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (“Lehman Holdings”) claimed that SecurityNational Mortgage owed approximately $3,745,000 for mortgage loan losses under the Indemnification Agreement.

During 2010 and 2011, the Company recognized alleged losses of $1,289,000 and $-0-, respectively. However, management cannot fully determine the total losses because there may be potential claims for losses that have not yet been determined. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had not accrued for any losses under the Indemnification Agreement. SecurityNational Mortgage was involved in discussions with Lehman Bank and Lehman Holdings concerning issues under the Indemnification Agreement. During the discussion period, monthly payments for December 2010 and January, February, March and April of 2011 totaling $625,000 were abated or deferred.

On May 11, 2011, SecurityNational Mortgage filed a complaint against Aurora Bank FSB, formerly known as Lehman Bank, and Aurora Loan Services in the United States District Court for the District of Utah because it had been unable to resolve certain issues under the Indemnification Agreement. The complaint alleges, among other things, material breach of the Indemnification Agreement, including a claim that neither Lehman Bank nor Aurora Loan Services owned mortgage loans sold by SecurityNational to justify the amount of payments demanded from, and made by SecurityNational Mortgage. As a result, SecurityNational Mortgage claims it is entitled to judgment of approximately $4,000,000 against Lehman Bank, as well as Aurora Loan Services to the extent of its involvement and complicity with Lehman Bank. The complaint also alleges a second claim for material breach of a section of the Indemnification Agreement that contains an alleged “sunset” provision and that the amount of the requested payments made was not justified under the “sunset” provision.

On June 8, 2011, Lehman Holdings, which had filed for bankruptcy in September 2008, filed a complaint against SecurityNational Mortgage in the United States District Court for the District of Utah. A Lehman Holdings’ subsidiary owns Lehman Bank. The complaint alleges that SecurityNational Mortgage sold loans to Lehman Bank, which were then sold to Lehman Holdings. The complaint additionally alleges that Lehman Bank and Aurora Loan Services assigned their rights and remedies under the loan purchase agreement, as well as the Indemnification Agreement to Lehman Holdings, which latter assignment purportedly took place on March 28, 2011. Lehman Holdings declared in a letter dated June 2, 2011 that the Indemnification Agreement was null and void, which is disputed by SecurityNational Mortgage.

Lehman Holdings’ alleged claims are for damages for breach of contract and breach of warranty pursuant to a loan purchase agreement and Seller’s Guide. Based on claiming that the Indemnification Agreement is null and void pursuant to its lawsuit, Lehman Holdings has initially claimed damages in excess of $5,000,000. Prior to declaring the Indemnification Agreement null and void, Lehman Holdings claimed in a then recent billing statement under the terms of the Indemnification Agreement, that SecurityNational Mortgage owed approximately $3,745,000 for mortgage loan losses under the Indemnification Agreement. SecurityNational Mortgage strongly disagrees with the position of Lehman Holdings and, as set forth in its May 11, 2011 complaint, seeks affirmative relief of approximately $4,000,000 from Lehman Bank and Aurora Loan Services, which are related to Lehman Holdings.

On September 4, 2012, SecurityNational Mortgage filed a motion for summary judgment in its action against Lehman Bank and Aurora Loan Services on certain material issues, as well as against Lehman Holdings regarding its claims against SecurityNational Mortgage. Lehman Bank and Aurora Loan Services filed a cross motion for summary judgment as to the issues in SecurityNational Mortgage’s motion and, in the Lehman Holdings case, Lehman Holdings has requested that the Court allow a cross motion on the issues which are the subject of SecurityNational Mortgage’s September 4, 2012 motion. The cases are before two different federal judges.

On February 27, 2013, SecurityNational Mortgage’s motion for summary judgment against Lehman Bank and Aurora Loan Services and the related cross motion were heard by Judge David Nuffer of the United States District Court for the District of Utah. After an extensive hearing, Judge Nuffer requested that the parties prepare findings of fact in accordance with the Court’s earlier promulgated findings as modified at the hearing, and that each party submit proposed conclusions of law related to the motions. Judge Nuffer also said that he may request a further hearing on the matter. SecurityNational Mortgage’s motion in the Lehman Holdings case is presently set for hearing on May 30, 2013 before Judge Ted Stewart of the United States District Court for the District of Utah.

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 operation.

(1) Sales prices have been adjusted retroactively for the effect of annual stock dividends.

The Class C Common Stock is not traded. See Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company has never paid a cash dividend on its Class A or Class C Common Stock. The Company currently anticipates that all of its earnings will be retained for use in the operation and expansion of its business and does not intend to pay any cash dividends on its Class A or Class C Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Any future determination as to cash dividends will depend upon the earnings and financial position of the Company and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem appropriate. A 5% stock dividend on Class A and Class C Common Stock has been paid each year from 1990 through 2012.

The graph below compares the cumulative total stockholder return of the Company’s Class A common stock with the cumulative total return on the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index and the Standard & Poor’s Insurance Index for the period from December 31, 2008 through December 31, 2012. The graph assumes that the value of the investment in the Company’s Class A common stock and in each of the indexes was 100 at December 31, 2008 and that all dividends were reinvested.

The comparisons in the graph below are based on historical data and are not intended to forecast the possible future performance of the Company’s Class A common stock.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

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

Insurance Operations

The Company’s insurance business includes funeral plans, and interest sensitive life insurance as well as other traditional life and accident and health insurance products. The Company places specific marketing emphasis on funeral plans through pre-need planning.

A funeral plan is a small face value life insurance policy that generally has face coverage of up to $25,000. The Company believes that funeral plans represent a marketing niche that has lower competition because most insurance companies do not offer similar coverage. The purpose of the funeral plan policy is to pay the costs and expenses incurred at the time of the person’s death. On a per thousand dollar cost of insurance basis these policies can be more expensive to the policy holder than many types of non-burial insurance due to their low face amount, requiring the fixed cost of the policy administration be distributed over a smaller policy size, and the simplified underwriting practices that result in higher mortality costs.

The following table shows the financial results for the Company’s insurance operations for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010. See Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

	Years ended December 31 (in thousands of dollars)
	2012		2011		2012 vs 2011 % Increase (Decrease)			2010		2011 vs 2010 % Increase (Decrease)
Revenues from external customers
Insurance premiums	$	48,216	$	48,457		0	%	$	38,509		26	%
Net investment income		17,951		17,296		4	%		14,738		17	%
Other		690		1,468		(53	%)		2,008		(27	%)
Total	$	66,857	$	67,221		(1	%)	$	55,255		22	%
Intersegment revenue	$	7,571	$	5,833		30	%	$	6,817		(14	%)
Earnings before income taxes	$	4,591	$	2,698		70	%	$	1,860		45	%

Intersegment revenues for the Company’s insurance operations are primarily interest income from the warehouse line provided to SecurityNational Mortgage Company. Profitability in 2012 has improved due to increases in net investment income, increases in intersegment revenues and decreases in expenses.

Life Insurance Acquisitions, Mergers and Reinsurance

Reinsurance with Mothe Life Insurance Company and DLE Life Insurance Company

Reinsurance with North America Life Insurance Company

Pursuant to the terms of the Coinsurance Agreement, Security National Life paid a ceding commission to North America Life in the amount of $3,526,000. In addition, North America Life transferred $15,703,000 in assets and $19,230,000 in statutory reserves, or liabilities net of due and deferred premiums, to Security National Life. The $15,703,000 in assets included $12,990,000 in cash, $9,000 in policy loans, and $2,704,000 in promissory notes secured by real estate properties located in Bexar, Liberty, Travis and Wilson Counties in the State of Texas. The promissory notes are also guaranteed by business entities and an individual.

On September 1, 2011, Security National Life, with the approval of the Texas Department of Insurance, assumed all of the policies that were issued by North America Life and previously assumed and coinsured pursuant to the terms of the Coinsurance Agreement. Security National Life has assumed the same terms and conditions as set forth in each policy and certificates of assumptions were sent to all policyholders.

On August 31, 2011, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with North America Life to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Trans-Western Life Insurance Company (“Trans-Western”), a Texas domiciled insurance company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of North America Life. The Company completed the Stock Purchase Agreement on May 2, 2012. The purchase consideration paid was $494,000, which was equal to the capital and surplus of Trans-Western on May 2, 2012. On March 20, 2012, the Texas Insurance Department approved the Stock Purchase Agreement, and all of Trans-Western’s insurance business was ceded to North America Life, of which approximately 47% of the insurance in force was assumed by the Company under the Coinsurance Agreement as described in Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Statements. As part of the stock purchase transaction, the Company recaptured the 47% of insurance in force.

Cemetery and Mortuary Operations

The Company sells mortuary services and products through its seven mortuaries in Salt Lake City, Utah and one mortuary in Phoenix, Arizona. The Company also sells cemetery products and services through its five cemeteries in Salt Lake City, Utah and one cemetery in San Diego County, California. Cemetery land sales and at-need product sales and services are recognized as revenue at the time of sale or when the services are performed. Pre-need cemetery product sales are deferred until the merchandise is delivered and services performed.

On May 10, 2011, the Company and its subsidiary, Greer-Wilson Funeral Home, Inc., completed an asset sales transaction with SCI Arizona Funeral Services, Inc. (“SCI”), an Arizona corporation, to sell substantially all of the operating assets of Greer-Wilson Funeral Home and Crystal Rose Funeral Home to SCI. Under the terms of the asset purchase agreement among Greer-Wilson Funeral Home, Crystal Rose Funeral Home and SCI, SCI paid $2,225,000 at closing to the Company and Greer-Wilson. The agreement also granted a three year right of first refusal to SCI to purchase Paradise Chapel Funeral Home. If the Company elects to sell Paradise Chapel Funeral Home within the three year period, the Company must provide a bona fide third party offer to SCI after which SCI has ten business days to exercise its right to purchase Paradise for the offer amount.

The following table shows the condensed financial results for the Company’s cemetery and mortuary operations for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010. See Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

	Years ended December 31 (in thousands of dollars)
	2012		2011		2012 vs 2011 % Increase (Decrease)			2010			2011 vs 2010 % Increase (Decrease)
Revenues from external customers

Earnings (Losses) before income taxes	$	219	$	461		(52	%)	$	(986	)		(147	%)

The realized gain in the Company’s cemetery and mortuary operations in 2011 was due to the sale of Greer-Wilson Funeral Home and Crystal Rose Funeral Home. Included in other revenue was rental income from residential and commercial properties purchased from Security National Life. Memorial Estates purchased these properties from financing provided by Security National Life. The rental income was offset by property insurance, taxes, maintenance expenses and interest payments made to Security National Life. Memorial Estates recorded depreciation on these properties of $1,029,000 and $1,025,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Mortgage Operations

Approximately 67% of the Company’s revenues and expenses for the fiscal year 2012 were through its wholly owned subsidiary, SecurityNational Mortgage Company (“SecurityNational Mortgage”). 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 its retail offices and independent brokers. SecurityNational Mortgage funds the loans from internal cash flows, including loan purchase agreements from Security National Life Insurance Company (“Security National Life”), and 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 retains servicing on some of these loans. SecurityNational Mortgage pays the brokers and retail loan officers a commission for loans that are brokered through SecurityNational Mortgage. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, SecurityNational Mortgage originated and sold 13,392 loans ($2,451,843,000 total volume), 8,100 loans ($1,407,212,000 total volume), and 11,251 loans ($2,094,738,000 total volume), respectively.

SecurityNational Mortgage originates mortgage loans funded by the warehouse banks and immediately sells them to third party investors. Generally, when mortgage loans are sold to the warehouse banks, SecurityNational Mortgage is no longer obligated to pay the amounts outstanding on the mortgage loans, but is required to pay a fee in the form of interest on a portion of the mortgage loans between the date the loans are sold to warehouse banks and the settlement date with the third party investors. The terms of the loan purchase agreements are typically for one year, with interest accruing on a portion of the mortgage loans at annual rates ranging from 2.5% to 2.75% over the 30-day LIBOR rate.

The mortgage loan volume in 2012 was higher than in 2011 primarily due to an increase in market share. The increase in market share was attributed to an expansion of the retail loan operations of SecurityNational Mortgage. SecurityNational Mortgage anticipates the loan volume for 2013 to be approximately $125,000,000 to $240,000,000 per month range which was comparable to the per month range in 2012.

SecurityNational Mortgage has entered into loan purchase agreements to originate and sell mortgage loans to two unaffiliated warehouse banks. On March 19, 2012, SecurityNational Mortgage and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”) entered into a loan purchase agreement in which Wells Fargo agreed to provide a warehouse line of up to $55,000,000 to fund certain approved mortgage loans originated by SecurityNational Mortgage. On August 6, 2012, SecurityNational Mortgage and Wells Fargo agreed to an amendment to the March 19, 2012 loan purchase agreement to increase the amount of the warehouse line available to fund mortgage loans originated by SecurityNational Mortgage from $55,000,000 to $75,000,000.

On July 16, 2012, SecurityNational Mortgage and UBS Real Estate Securities Inc. (“UBS”) entered into a loan purchase agreement in which UBS agreed to provide a warehouse line of up to $30,000,000 to fund mortgage loans originated by SecurityNational Mortgage. On October 26, 2012, SecurityNational Mortgage and UBS agreed to an amendment to the July 16, 2012 loan purchase agreement to increase the amount of the warehouse line available to fund mortgage loans originated by SecurityNational Mortgage from $30,000,000 to $40,000,000.

The following table shows the condensed financial results for the Company’s mortgage operations for the years 2012, 2011 and 2010. See Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

	Years ended December 31 (in thousands of dollars)
	2012		2011			2012 vs 2011 % Increase (Decrease)			2010			2011 vs 2010 % Increase (Decrease)
Revenues from external customers
Revenues from loan originations	$	120,749	$	64,415			87	%	$	78,450			(18	%)
Secondary gains from investors		29,804		13,190			126	%		18,892			(30	%)
Total	$	150,553	$	77,605			94	%	$	97,342			(20	%)
Earnings (Losses) before income taxes	$	16,542	$	(1,922	)		961	%	$	(1,964	)		(2	%)

The increase in earnings for the Company’s mortgage operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 as compared to December 31, 2011 was due to higher loan volume and higher secondary gains from investors.

Mortgage Accounting Policy

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 generally accepted accounting principles at the time the sales of the mortgage loans comply with the sales criteria for the transfer of financial assets. The sales criteria is as follows: (i) the transferred assets have been isolated from SecurityNational Mortgage and its creditors, (ii) the transferee has the right to pledge or exchange the mortgage, and (iii) SecurityNational Mortgage does not maintain effective control over the transferred mortgage.

SecurityNational Mortgage must determine that all three sales criteria are met at the time a mortgage loan is funded. All rights and title to the mortgage loans are assigned to unrelated financial institution investors, including investor commitments for the loans made prior to warehouse banks purchasing the loans under the purchase commitments. As of December 31, 2012, there was $201,681,000 in mortgage loans in which settlements with third party investors were still pending.

SecurityNational Mortgage sells all mortgage loans to third party investors without recourse. However, it may be required to repurchase a loan or pay a fee instead of repurchase under certain events, which include 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.

It is SecurityNational Mortgage's policy to cure any documentation problems regarding such loans at a minimal cost for up to a six-month time period and to pursue efforts to enforce loan purchase commitments from third-party investors concerning the loans. SecurityNational Mortgage believes that six months allows adequate time to remedy any documentation issues, to enforce purchase commitments, and to exhaust other alternatives. Remedial methods include the following:

·	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 later becomes delinquent is evaluated by SecurityNational Mortgage at that time and any impairment is 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 SecurityNational Mortgage. Market value, while often difficult to determine, is based on the following guidelines:

·	For loans that have an active market, SecurityNational Mortgage uses the market price on the repurchase date.
·	For loans where there is no market but there is a similar product, SecurityNational Mortgage uses the market value for the similar product on the repurchase date.
·	For loans where no active market exists on the repurchase date, SecurityNational Mortgage determines that the unpaid principal balance best approximates the market value on the repurchase 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 mortgage loan adds significance to SecurityNational Mortgage’s determination of fair value because, if the loan becomes delinquent, SecurityNational Mortgage 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, SecurityNational Mortgage considers the total value of all of the loans because 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.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company’s long term mortgage loan portfolio consisted of $11,679,000 in mortgage loans with delinquencies more than 90 days. Of this amount, $6,039,000 of the loans were in foreclosure proceedings. The Company has not received or recognized any interest income on the $11,679,000 in mortgage loans with delinquencies more than 90 days. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company increased its allowance for mortgage losses by $434,000 and $1,236,000, respectively, which was charged to loan loss expense and included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the period. The allowances for mortgage loan losses as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $4,240,000 and $4,881,000, respectively.

Also at December 31, 2012, the Company had foreclosed on a total of $60,710,000 in long term mortgage loans, of which $17,020,000 of the loans foreclosed were reclassified as other real estate held for investment or sale during 2012. The Company carries the foreclosed properties in Security National Life, Memorial Estates, and SecurityNational Mortgage, its respective life, cemeteries and mortuaries, and mortgage subsidiaries, and will rent the properties until it is deemed economically desirable to sell them.

Mortgage Loan Loss Settlements

The mortgage industry has seen potential loan losses increase. Future loan losses are extremely difficult to estimate, especially in the current market. However, management believes that the Company’s reserve methodology and its current practice of property preservation allow it to estimate its losses on loans sold. The amounts accrued for loan losses in years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $4,053,000 and $1,668,000, respectively. The estimated liability for indemnification losses is included in other liabilities and accrued expenses and, as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the balances were $6,035,000 and $2,338,000, respectively.

Settlement with Wells Fargo

On April 7, 2011, SecurityNational Mortgage entered into a settlement agreement with Wells Fargo Funding, Inc. (“Wells Fargo”). The settlement agreement provides that it is intended to be a pragmatic commercial accommodation between SecurityNational Mortgage and Wells Fargo and is not to be construed as an admission of responsibility, liability or fault for either party’s claims. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, SecurityNational Mortgage paid an initial settlement amount to Wells Fargo in the amount of $4,300,000, of which $1,000,000 had already been paid to Wells Fargo in January 2011, leaving a balance of $3,300,000. The $3,300,000 balance was paid shortly after the parties executed the settlement agreement.

In addition, under the terms of the settlement agreement, Wells Fargo has the right to deduct 10 basis points (.0010) from the purchase proceeds of each loan that SecurityNational Mortgage sells to Wells Fargo during the period from April 8, 2011 to March 31, 2017. The amounts deducted by Wells Fargo for years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $2,674,269 and $928,075, respectively, representing 10 basis points from the purchase proceeds of the loans that SecurityNational Mortgage sold to Wells Fargo during that period.

SecurityNational Mortgage is also required under the settlement agreement to set aside 10 basis points (.0010) during the period from April 8, 2011 to March 31, 2017 from the purchase proceeds of any loans that it sells to any mortgage loan purchaser other than Wells Fargo and pay such amounts to Wells Fargo. The amounts deducted by Wells Fargo for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $617,740 and $80,554, respectively, representing 10 basis points from the purchase proceeds of the loans it sold to mortgage loan purchasers other than Wells Fargo during that period.

Finally, SecurityNational Mortgage is required under the settlement agreement to set aside 50% from the net proceeds that it receives from any sale, liquidation or other transfer of certain real estate properties that it owns, after subtracting taxes, commissions, recording fees and other transaction costs. These real estate properties consist of 27 real estate properties with a total book value of $5,404,900 as of December 31, 2012. Thus far, none of these real estate properties have been sold, liquidated or transferred.

In consideration for SecurityNational Mortgage making the initial settlement payment to Wells Fargo, Wells Fargo and related parties, including Wells Fargo Bank, released SecurityNational Mortgage and related parties, including the Company and Security National Life, from any claims, demands, damages, obligations, liabilities, or causes of action relating to residential mortgage loans that Wells Fargo purchased from SecurityNational Mortgage prior to December 31, 2009. Similarly, SecurityNational Mortgage released Wells Fargo and its related parties from any claims, demands, damages, obligations, liabilities, or causes of actions relating to residential mortgage loans that Wells Fargo purchased from SecurityNational Mortgage prior to December 31, 2009.

Mortgage Loan Loss Demands

Third Party Investors

There have been assertions in third party investor correspondence that SecurityNational Mortgage sold mortgage loans that allegedly contained misrepresentations or experienced early payment defaults, or that were otherwise allegedly defective or not in compliance with agreements between SecurityNational Mortgage and the third party investors consisting principally of financial institutions. As a result of these claims, third party investors have made demands that SecurityNational Mortgage repurchase certain alleged defective mortgage loans that were sold to such investors or indemnify them against any losses related to such loans.

As of December 31, 2012, third party investors had asserted total potential claims and notices of potential claims relating to mortgage loan repurchases, indemnifications and other issues that are substantially greater than $25,000,000. Additional potential claims and notices of potential claims from third party investors have been made since December 31, 2012. The Company has reserved and accrued $6,035,000 as of December 31, 2012 to settle all such investor related claims.

The total amount of potential claims and notices of potential claims are greater than the net asset value of SecurityNational Mortgage, which was $26,835,000 on December 31, 2012, and its reserve for mortgage loan loss, which was $6,035,000 on December 31, 2012. SecurityNational Mortgage disagrees with the claims and notices of potential claims asserted by third party investors against it and believes it has significant defenses to these claims. Any additional losses in excess of the current loan loss reserve cannot be estimated as SecurityNational Mortgage is currently in the process of reviewing repurchase demands and notices of potential claims from third party investors.

If SecurityNational Mortgage is unable to resolve demands by the third party investors on acceptable terms, legal action may ensue in an effort to obtain amounts that the third party investors claim are allegedly due. In the event of legal action, if SecurityNational Mortgage is not successful in its defenses against claims asserted by these third party investors to the extent that a substantial judgment is entered against SecurityNational Mortgage which is beyond its capacity to pay, SecurityNational Mortgage may be required to curtail or cease operations.

JP Morgan Chase Indemnification Demand

The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, SecurityNational Mortgage, received a notice of claim for indemnification dated December 21, 2011, relating to mortgage loans that EMC Mortgage, LLC (“EMC Mortgage”) allegedly purchased as a third party investor from SecurityNational Mortgage. The notice was from JP Morgan Chase & Co. (“JP Morgan Chase”) on behalf of EMC Mortgage. According to the notice, the alleged indemnification claim relates to mortgage loans that SecurityNational Mortgage sold to EMC Mortgage under a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated December 5, 2005, between SecurityNational Mortgage and EMC. The notice also referenced an Agreement of Guaranty, dated February 23, 2006, by the Company relative to EMC Mortgage. The notice states that EMC Mortgage allegedly purchased mortgage loans from SecurityNational Mortgage, which were later securitized by means of mortgage pass-through certificates.

The notice of indemnification claim from JP Morgan Chase also states that EMC Mortgage has been named in a lawsuit by the Bear Stearns Mortgage Funding Trust 2007-AR2 (the “Trust”), which was filed on September 13, 2011 in the Delaware Court of Chancery. A copy of the complaint and the amended complaint was provided to the Company by JP Morgan Chase. The amended complaint contends that more than 800 residential mortgage loans that EMC Mortgage sold to the Trust contained breaches of representations and warranties concerning the mortgage loans. The amended complaint also contends that despite EMC Mortgage’s assurance to the Trust that the mortgage loans met certain minimum quality standards, there have been defaults and foreclosures in many of such loans. As a result of the alleged defaults and foreclosures, the amended complaint asserts that EMC Mortgage is required to repurchase from the Trust any loans in which it breached its representations and warranties, in the amount of the mortgage loans’ outstanding principal balance and all accrued but unpaid interest.

The notice from JP Morgan Chase further states that the Company and SecurityNational Mortgage are required to indemnify EMC Mortgage for any losses arising from the lawsuit against EMC based upon alleged untrue statements of material fact related to information that was provided by SecurityNational Mortgage. The amended complaint includes the loan numbers of the alleged non-complying mortgage loans that EMC Mortgage sold to the Trust. In a letter dated February 7, 2012, from JP Morgan Chase that accompanied a copy of the amended complaint, JP Morgan Chase asserted that 21 mortgage loans originated by SecurityNational Mortgage were included in the lawsuit as part of the alleged non-complying mortgage loans that EMC allegedly sold to the Trust. Thus, it appears that only a very small percentage of the alleged non-complying mortgage loans that EMC Mortgage sold to the Trust were mortgage loans that SecurityNational Mortgage had sold to EMC.

Moreover, to the extent the claims by the Trust against EMC Mortgage relate to mortgage loans that SecurityNational Mortgage sold to EMC, the Company believes it has defenses to such claims with respect to EMC. For example, neither the Company nor SecurityNational Mortgage is a party to any agreement involving the Trust, nor are they privy to any agreements between EMC Mortgage and the Trust. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself and SecurityNational Mortgage in the event that JP Morgan Chase were to bring any legal action to require the Company or SecurityNational Mortgage to indemnify it for any loss, liability or expense in connection with the lawsuit that the Trust has brought against EMC Mortgage.

Mortgage Loan Loss Litigation

Lehman Brothers - Aurora Loan Services Litigation

On April 15, 2005, SecurityNational Mortgage entered into a loan purchase agreement with Lehman Brothers Bank, FSB (“Lehman Bank”). Under the terms of the loan purchase agreement, Lehman Bank agreed to purchase mortgage loans from time to time from SecurityNational Mortgage. During 2007, Lehman Bank and its wholly owned subsidiary, Aurora Loan Services LLC (“Aurora Loan Services”), purchased a total of 1,490 mortgage loans in the aggregate amount of $352,774,000 from SecurityNational Mortgage. Lehman Bank asserted that certain of the mortgage loans that it purchased from SecurityNational Mortgage during 2007 contained alleged misrepresentations and early payment defaults. As a result of these alleged breaches in the mortgage loans, Lehman Bank contended it had the right to require SecurityNational Mortgage to repurchase certain loans or be liable for losses related to such loans under the loan purchase agreement. SecurityNational Mortgage disagrees with these claims.

Since the reserve account was established, funds had been paid from the account to indemnify $4,281,000 in alleged losses from 31 mortgage loans that were among 54 mortgage loans with alleged breaches that were covered by the Indemnification Agreement and ten other mortgage loans with alleged breaches. In the last monthly billing statement dated April 24, 2011 to SecurityNational Mortgage, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (“Lehman Holdings”) claimed that SecurityNational Mortgage owed approximately $3,745,000 for mortgage loan losses under the Indemnification Agreement.

Prearranged funeral and pre-need cemetery customer obtaining costs - costs incurred related to obtaining new pre-need cemetery and prearranged funeral business are accounted for under the guidance of the provisions of GAAP related to Financial Services - Insurance. Obtaining costs, which include only costs that vary with and are primarily related to the acquisition of new pre-need cemetery and prearranged funeral business, are deferred until the merchandise is delivered or services are performed.

Revenues and costs for at-need sales are recorded when a valid contract exists, the services are performed, collection is reasonably assured and there are no significant obligations remaining.

Mortgage Operations

Mortgage fee income is generated through the origination and refinancing of mortgage loans and is realized in accordance with GAAP related to sales of financial assets.

The majority of loans originated are sold to third party investors. The amounts sold to investors are shown on the balance sheet as mortgage loans sold to investors, and include the fees due from the investors.

Use of Significant Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. It is reasonably possible that actual experience could differ from the estimates and assumptions utilized which could have a material impact on the financial statements. The following is a summary of our significant accounting estimates, and critical issues that impact them:

Fixed Maturities and Equity Securities Available for Sale

Securities available for sale are carried at estimated fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, which is included in stockholders’ equity after adjustment for deferred income taxes and deferred acquisition costs related to universal life products.

When the value of a security declines and the decline is determined to be other than temporary, the carrying value of the investment is reduced to its fair value and a realized loss is recorded to the extent of the decline.

Deferred Acquisition Costs

Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs for interest sensitive products is dependent upon estimates of current and future gross profits or margins on this business. Key assumptions used include the following: yield on investments supporting the liabilities, amount of interest or dividends credited to the policies, amount of policy fees and charges, amount of expenses necessary to maintain the policies, amount of death and surrender benefits, and the length of time the policies will stay in force.

For nonparticipating traditional life products, these costs are amortized over the premium paying period of the related policies in proportion to the ratio of annual premium revenues to total anticipated premium revenues. Such anticipated premium revenues are estimated using the same assumption used for computing liabilities for future policy benefits and are generally “locked in” at the date the policies are issued.

Value of Business Acquired

Value of business acquired is the present value of estimated future profits of the acquired business and is amortized similar to deferred acquisition costs. The critical issues explained for deferred acquisition costs would also apply for value of business acquired.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company accrues an estimate of potential losses for the collection of receivables. The significant receivables are the result of receivables due on mortgage loans sold to investors, cemetery and mortuary operations, mortgage loan operations and other receivables. The allowance is based upon the Company’s experience. The critical issue that would impact recovery of the cemetery and mortuary receivables is the overall economy. The critical issues that would impact recovery of mortgage loan operations would be interest rate risk and loan underwriting.

Future Policy Benefits

Reserves for future policy benefits for traditional life insurance products requires the use of many assumptions, including the duration of the policies, mortality experience, expenses, investment yield, lapse rates, surrender rates, and dividend crediting rates.

Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a brief summary of our significant accounting policies and a review of our most critical accounting estimates. See Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Insurance Operations

In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), premiums and considerations received for interest sensitive products such as universal life insurance and ordinary annuities are reflected as increases in liabilities for policyholder account balances and not as revenues. Revenues reported for these products consist of policy charges for the cost of insurance, administration charges, amortization of policy initiation fees and surrender charges assessed against policyholder account balances. Surrender benefits paid relating to these products are reflected as decreases in liabilities for policyholder account balances and not as expenses.

The Company receives investment income earned from the funds deposited into account balances, a portion of which is passed through to the policyholders in the form of interest credited. Interest credited to policyholder account balances and benefit claims in excess of policyholder account balances are reported as expenses in the consolidated financial statements.

Premium revenues reported for traditional life insurance products are recognized as revenues when due. Future policy benefits are recognized as expenses over the life of the policy by means of the provision for future policy benefits.

The costs related to acquiring new business, including certain costs of issuing policies and other variable selling expenses (principally commissions), defined as deferred policy acquisition costs, are capitalized and amortized into expense. For nonparticipating traditional life products, these costs are amortized over the premium paying period of the related policies, in proportion to the ratio of annual premium revenues to total anticipated premium revenues. Such anticipated premium revenues are estimated using the same assumption used for computing liabilities for future policy benefits and are generally “locked in” at the date the policies are issued. For interest sensitive products, these costs are amortized generally in proportion to expected gross profits from surrender charges and investment, mortality and expense margins. This amortization is adjusted when the Company revises the estimate of current or future gross profits or margins. For example, deferred policy acquisition costs are amortized earlier than originally estimated when policy terminations are higher than originally estimated or when investments backing the related policyholder liabilities are sold at a gain prior to their anticipated maturity.

Death and other policyholder benefits reflect exposure to mortality risk and fluctuate from year to year on the level of claims incurred under insurance retention limits. The profitability of the Company is primarily affected by fluctuations in mortality, other policyholder benefits, expense levels, interest spreads (i.e., the difference between interest earned on investments and interest credited to policyholders) and persistency. The Company has the ability to mitigate adverse experience through sound underwriting, asset/liability duration matching, sound actuarial practices, adjustments to credited interest rates, policyholder dividends and cost of insurance charges.

Cemetery and Mortuary Operations

Pre-need sales of funeral services and caskets, including revenue and costs associated with the sales of pre-need funeral services and caskets, are deferred until the services are performed or the caskets are delivered.

Pre-need sales of cemetery interment rights (cemetery burial property) - revenue and costs associated with the sales of pre-need cemetery interment rights are recognized in accordance with the retail land sales provisions of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Under GAAP, recognition of revenue and associated costs from constructed cemetery property must be deferred until a minimum percentage of the sales price has been collected. Revenues related to the pre-need sale of unconstructed cemetery property will be deferred until such property is constructed and meets the criteria of FASB Codification Topic 360-20, described above.

Pre-need sales of cemetery merchandise (primarily markers and vaults) - revenue and costs associated with the sales of pre-need cemetery merchandise are deferred until the merchandise is delivered.

Pre-need sales of cemetery services (primarily merchandise delivery and installation fees and burial opening and closing fees) - revenue and costs associated with the sales of pre-need cemetery services are deferred until the services are performed.

These assumptions are made based upon historical experience, industry standards and a best estimate of future results and, for traditional life products, include a provision for adverse deviation. For traditional life insurance, once established for a particular series of products, these assumptions are generally held constant.

Unearned Revenue

The universal life products the Company sells have significant policy initiation fees (front-end load) that are deferred and amortized into revenues over the estimated expected gross profits from surrender charges and investment, mortality and expense margins. The same issues that impact deferred acquisition costs would apply to unearned revenue.

Deferred Pre-need Cemetery and Funeral Contracts Revenues and Estimated Future Cost of Pre-need Sales

The revenue and cost associated with the sales of pre-need cemetery merchandise and funeral services are deferred until the merchandise is delivered or the service is performed.

The Company, through its cemetery and mortuary operations, provides a guaranteed funeral arrangement wherein a prospective customer can receive future goods and services at guaranteed prices. To accomplish this, the Company, through its life insurance operations, sells to the customer an increasing benefit life insurance policy that is assigned to the mortuaries. If, at the time of need, the policyholder/potential mortuary customer utilizes one of the Company’s facilities, the guaranteed funeral arrangement contract that has been assigned will provide the funeral goods and services at the contracted price. The increasing life insurance policy will cover the difference between the original contract prices and current prices. Risks may arise if the difference cannot be fully met by the life insurance policy.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

Mortgage Service Rights (MSR) arise from contractual agreements between the Company and third-party investors (or their agents) when mortgage loans are sold. Under these contracts, the Company is obligated to retain and provide loan servicing functions on the loans sold, in exchange for fees and other remuneration. The servicing functions typically performed include, among other responsibilities, collecting and remitting loan payments; responding to borrower inquiries; accounting for principal and interest, holding custodial (impound) funds for payment of property taxes and insurance premiums; counseling delinquent mortgagors; and supervising the acquisition of REO and property dispositions. The Company initially accounts for MSRs at fair value and subsequently accounts for them using the amortization method. MSR amortization is determined by amortizing the balance straight-line over an estimated nine year life. The Company periodically assesses MSRs accounted for using the amortization method for impairment.

Mortgage Allowance for Loan Loss 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 is an allowance for losses on the Company’s mortgage loans held for investment. The allowance is comprised of two components. The first component is an allowance for collectively evaluated impairment that is based upon the Company’s historical experience in collecting similar receivables. The second component is based upon individual evaluation of loans that are determined to be impaired. Upon determining impairment the Company establishes an individual impairment allowance based upon an assessment of the fair value of the underlying collateral.

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 owned. The Company carries the foreclosed property in Security National Life, Memorial Estates and SecurityNational Mortgage, its life, cemeteries and mortuaries and mortgage subsidiaries, and will rent the properties until it is deemed desirable to sell them. The Company is currently able to rent properties at a 2% to 6% gross return.

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 based on total production. This estimate is based on the Company’s historical experience. The amount accrued for and the charge to expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The estimated liability for indemnification losses is included in other liabilities and accrued expenses. The Company believes the allowance for loan losses and the loan loss reserve represent probable loan losses incurred as of the balance sheet date.

Deferred Compensation

The Company has deferred compensation agreements with several of its current and past executive officers. The deferred compensation is payable upon retirement or death of these individuals either in annual installments (ten years) or lump sum settlement, if approved by the Board of Directors. The Company has accrued the present value of these benefits based upon their future retirement dates and other factors, on its consolidated financial statements.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated principally on the straight-line-method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 40 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the useful life or remaining lease terms.

Self-Insurance

The Company is self-insured for certain casualty insurance, workers compensation and liability programs. Self–Insurance reserves are maintained relative to these programs. The level of exposure from catastrophic events is limited by the purchase of stop-loss and aggregate liability reinsurance coverage. When estimating the self-insurance liabilities and related reserves, management considers a number of factors, which include historical claims experience, demographic factors, severity factors and valuations provided independent third-party actuaries. Management reviews its assumptions with its independent third-party administrators and actuaries to evaluate whether the self-insurance reserves are adequate. If actual claims or adverse development of loss reserves occurs and exceed these estimates, additional reserves may be required. The estimation process contains uncertainty since management must use judgment to estimate the ultimate cost that will be incurred to settle reported claims and unreported claims for incidents incurred but not reported as of the balance sheet date.

Results of Consolidated Operations

2012 Compared to 2011

Total revenues increased by $74,693,000, or 46.8%, to $234,260,000 for fiscal year 2012 from $159,567,000 for the fiscal year 2011. Contributing to this increase in total revenues was a $72,948,000 increase in mortgage fee income, a $3,239,000 increase in net investment income, a $103,000 increase in net cemetery and mortuary sales, and a $50,000 increase in other revenue. This increase in total revenues was partially offset by a $1,039,000 decrease in realized gains on investments and other assets, a $367,000 increase in other than temporary impairments, and a $241,000 decrease in insurance premiums and other considerations.

Insurance premiums and other consideration decreased by $241,000, or 0.5%, to $48,216,000 for 2012, from $48,457,000 for the comparable period in 2011. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in renewal premiums due to the decline of older blocks of business, which was offset by an increase in first year premiums due to increased insurance sales.

Net investment income increased by $3,239,000, or 16.2%, to $23,250,000 for 2012, from $20,011,000 for the comparable period in 2011. This increase was primarily attributable to a $2,461,000 increase in income from short-term investments, a $1,186,000 increase in income from real estate, a $378,000 decrease in investment expenses, and a $15,000 increase in interest on mortgage loans on real estate. This increase was partially offset by a $32,000 decrease in fixed maturity securities income, an $8,000 decrease in equity securities income, and a $5,000 decrease in policy loans income.

Net cemetery and mortuary sales increased by $103,000, or 1.0%, to $10,864,000 for 2012, from $10,761,000 for the comparable period in 2011. This increase was primarily due to a $400,000 increase in cemetery pre-need and at-need sales, which was offset by a $297,000 decrease in mortuary at-need sales.

Realized gains on investments and other assets decreased by $1,039,000, or 42.2%, to $1,425,000 in realized gains for 2012, from $2,464,000 in realized gains for the comparable period in 2011. This decrease in realized gains and losses on investments and other assets is primarily due to the one-time gain of $887,000 on the sale of Greer-Wilson Funeral Home and Crystal Rose Funeral Home that occurred in 2011, a $310,000 decrease in gains and losses on fixed maturity securities held to maturity, and an $85,000 decrease in gains and losses on securities available for sale.

Other than temporary impairments on investments increased by $367,000, or 43.6%, to $1,208,000 for 2012 from $841,000 for the comparable period in 2011. This increase was due a $195,000 increase in impairments on securities available for sale, a $95,000 increase in impairments on mortgage loans on real estate, a $40,000 increase in impairments on fixed maturity securities held to maturity, and a $37,000 increase in impairments on other real estate owned held for investment.

Mortgage fee income increased by $72,948,000, or 94.0%, to $150,553,000 for 2012, from $77,605,000 for the comparable period in 2011. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in secondary gains on mortgage loans sold to investors and an increase in loan volume due to the expansion of the retail loan operations of SecurityNational Mortgage.

Other revenues increased by $50,000, or 4.5%, to $1,159,000 for 2012 from $1,109,000 for the comparable period in 2011. This increase was due to an increase in miscellaneous revenues throughout the Company's operations.

Total benefits and expenses were $212,909,000, or 90.9% of total revenues, for 2012, as compared to $158,331,000, or 99.2% of total revenues, for the comparable period in 2011.

Death benefits, surrenders and other policy benefits, and future policy benefits decreased by an aggregate of $523,000 or 1.1%, to $45,681,000 for 2012, from $46,204,000 for the comparable period in 2011. This increase was primarily the result of a $93,000 increase in death benefits, a $207,000 increase in surrender and other policy benefits offset by a $823,000 decrease in future policy benefits.

Amortization of deferred policy and pre-need acquisition costs and value of business acquired decreased by $320,000, or 5.5%, to $5,449,000 for 2012, from $5,769,000 for the comparable period in 2011. This decrease was primarily due to improved persistency in the traditional life and universal life lines of business.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by an aggregate of $53,796,000, or 52.5%, to $156,310,000 for 2012, from $102,514,000 for the comparable period in 2011. This increase was the result of an increase in commission expenses of $36,325,000, from $47,515,000 in 2011 to $83,840,000 in 2012, due to an increase in sales in the mortgage operations, life operations and the cemetery operations. Other expenses increased by $7,253,000 from $25,157,000 in 2011 to $32,410,000 in 2012 primarily due to an increase in loan volume by the mortgage operations. Salaries increased by $5,358,000 from $23,531,000 in 2011 to $28,889,000 in 2012, primarily due to an increase in the number of employees. Costs related to funding mortgage loans increased by $2,691,000 from $4,240,000 in 2011 to $6,931,000 in 2012 due primarily to more loans funded as a result of increased demand in the housing sector. Provision for loan losses increased by $2,169,000 from $2,070,000 in 2011 to $4,239,000 in 2012, primarily due to an increase in monthly loan origination volume.

Interest expense increased by $1,783,000, or 90.9%, to $3,744,000 for 2012, from $1,961,000 for the comparable period in 2011. This increase was primarily due to increased outstanding balances on warehouse lines.

Cost of goods and services sold of the cemeteries and mortuaries decreased by $159,000, or 8.4%, to $1,724,000 for 2012, from $1,883,000 for the comparable period in 2011. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in mortuary at-need sales, which was offset by an increase in cemetery pre-need and at-need sales.

Other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 amounted to gains of $1,280,000 and a loss of $534,000, respectively. This increase of $1,814,000 in 2012 was primarily the result a $1,503,000 increase in unrealized gains in securities available for sale, and a gain of $311,000 in derivatives related to mortgage loans.

2011 Compared to 2010

Total revenues decreased by $8,943,000, or 5.3%, to $159,567,000 for fiscal year 2011 from $168,510,000 for the fiscal year 2010. Contributing to this decrease in total revenues was a $19,737,000 decrease in mortgage fee income, a $759,000 decrease in net cemetery and mortuary sales, a $472,000 decrease in other revenue, and a $167,000 increase in other than temporary impairments. This decrease in total revenues was partially offset by a $9,948,000 increase in insurance premiums and other considerations, a $1,395,000 increase in net investment income, and an $849,000 increase in realized gains on investments and other assets.

Insurance premiums and other consideration increased by $9,948,000, or 25.8%, to $48,457,000 for 2011, from $38,509,000 for the comparable period in 2010. This increase was primarily due to the reinsurance transaction with North America Life that was completed in March 2011, an increase in renewal premiums, and an increase in first year premiums due to increased insurance sales.

Net investment income increased by $1,395,000, or 7.5%, to $20,011,000 for 2011, from $18,616,000 for the comparable period in 2010. This increase was primarily attributable to a $1,002,000 increase in fixed maturity securities income, a $708,000 increase in interest on mortgage loans on real estate, a $700,000 increase in income from real estate, a $33,000 increase in income in equity securities, and a $26,000 decrease in investment expenses. This increase was partially offset by a $960,000 decrease in income from short-term investments, and by a $62,000 decrease in policy loan income.

Net cemetery and mortuary sales decreased by $759,000, or 6.6%, to $10,761,000 for 2011, from $11,520,000 for the comparable period in 2010. This reduction was primarily due to a decline in at-need sales of mortuary operations as a result of the sale of two Arizona funeral homes in 2011.

Realized gains on investments and other assets increased by $849,000, or 52.6%, to $2,464,000 in realized gains for 2011, from $1,615,000 in realized gains for the comparable period in 2010. This increase in realized gains on investments and other assets was primarily due to an $887,000 gain on the sale of Greer-Wilson Funeral Home and Crystal Rose Funeral Home in 2011, which was partially offset by a decrease in realized gains on fixed maturity securities.

Other than temporary impairments on investments increased by $167,000, or 24.7%, to $841,000 for 2011 from $674,000 for the comparable period in 2010. This increase is due to impairments on other real estate owned held for investment offset by a decrease in impairments on fixed maturity securities held to maturity.

Mortgage fee income decreased by $19,737,000, or 20.3%, to $77,605,000 for 2011, from $97,342,000 for the comparable period in 2010. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in secondary gains on mortgage loans sold to investors and a decrease in loan volume due to a reduced demand in the housing sector caused by the slow growth of the economy.

Other revenues decreased by $472,000, or 29.9%, to $1,109,000 for 2011 from $1,581,000 for the comparable period in 2010. This decrease was due to a reduction in miscellaneous revenues throughout the Company's operations.

Total benefits and expenses were $158,331,000, or 99.2% of total revenues, for 2011, as compared to $169,600,000, or 100.6% of total revenues, for the comparable period in 2010.

Death benefits, surrenders and other policy benefits, and increase in future policy benefits increased by an aggregate of $8,258,000 or 21.8%, to $46,204,000 for 2011, from $37,946,000 for the comparable period in 2010. This increase was primarily the result of increased future policy benefits, increased death benefits, and increased surrender and other policy benefits primarily due to the reinsurance transaction with North America Life Insurance Company.

Amortization of deferred policy and pre-need acquisition costs and value of business acquired increased by $1,338,000, or 30.2%, to $5,769,000 for 2011, from $4,431,000 for the comparable period in 2010. This increase was primarily due to the reinsurance transaction with North America Life Insurance Company and an increase in business in force.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by an aggregate of $19,704,000, or 16.1%, to $102,514,000 for 2011, from $122,218,000 for the comparable period in 2010. This decrease was the result of a reduction in commission expenses of $10,925,000, from $58,440,000 in 2010 to $47,515,000 in 2011, due to a decrease in sales in the mortgage operations and the cemetery operations, which was partially offset by an increase in life insurance first year and renewal commissions during 2011. Salaries decreased by $2,875,000 from $26,406,000 in 2010 to $23,531,000 in 2011, primarily due to a reduction in the number of employee equivalents. Provision for loan losses decreased by $3,334,000 from $5,404,000 in 2010 to $2,070,000 in 2011, primarily due to a decrease in monthly loan origination volume and a reduction in investor demands due to previous settlements. Costs related to funding mortgage loans decreased by $1,804,000 from $6,044,000 in 2010 to $4,240,000 in 2011 due primarily to fewer loans funded as a result of reduced demand in the housing sector. Other expenses decreased by $766,000 from $25,923,000 in 2010 to $25,157,000 in 2011.

Interest expense decreased by $818,000, or 29.4%, to $1,961,000 for 2011, from $2,779,000 for the comparable period in 2010. This reduction was primarily due to decreased outstanding balances on warehouse lines.

Cost of goods and services sold of the cemeteries and mortuaries decreased by $343,000, or 15.4%, to $1,883,000 for 2011, from $2,226,000 for the comparable period in 2010. This decrease was primarily due to decreased at-need cemetery sales and mortuary sales.

Other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 amounted to losses of $534,000 and $405,000, respectively. This decrease of $129,000 in 2011 was primarily the result of a $1,123,000 decrease in unrealized gains in securities available for sale, and a gain of $994,000 in derivatives related to mortgage loans.

Risks

The following is a description of the most significant risks facing the Company and how it mitigates those risks:

Legal and Regulatory Risks - 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.

Mortgage Industry Risks - Developments in the mortgage industry and credit markets adversely affected the Company’s ability to sell certain of its mortgage loans to investors, which impacted the Company’s financial results by requiring it to assume the risk of holding and servicing many of these loans.

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. SecurityNational Mortgage 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. SecurityNational Mortgage’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, SecurityNational Mortgage initially measures at fair value liabilities incurred in a sale relating to any guarantee or recourse provisions. SecurityNational Mortgage accrues a monthly allowance for indemnification losses to investors based on SecurityNational Mortgage’s historical experience. The amounts accrued for loan losses in years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 were $4,053,000, $1,668,000 and $4,534,000, 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 December 31, 2012 and 2011, the balances were $6,035,000 and $2,338,000, respectively. The Company believes the allowance for loan losses and the loan loss reserve represent probable loan losses incurred as of December 31, 2012. However, there is a risk that future loan losses may exceed the loan loss reserves and allowances.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company’s long term mortgage loan portfolio consisted of $11,679,000 in mortgage loans with delinquencies more than 90 days. Of this amount, $6,039,000 of the loans were in foreclosure proceedings. The Company has not received or recognized any interest income on the $11,679,000 in mortgage loans with delinquencies more than 90 days. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, SecurityNational Mortgage increased its allowance for mortgage losses by $434,000 and $1,236,000, respectively, which was charged to loan loss expense and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the period. The allowances for mortgage loan losses as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $4,240,000 and $4,881,000, respectively.

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, estimate of probable loan loss reserve, 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.

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 twelve months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company's operations provided cash of $22,416,000 and $6,866,000, respectively. This was due primarily to an $18,808,000 increase in 2012 and an increase of $15,145,000 in 2011 in the balance of mortgage loans sold to investors and a $12,086,000 increase in 2012 and an $830,000 decrease in 2011 in other liabilities.

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, real estate 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. 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 $127,939,000 as of December 31, 2012 compared to $126,068,000 as of December 31, 2011. This represents 36.9% and 37.9% of the total investments as of December 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011, 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 December 31, 2012, 3.4% (or $4,392,000) and at December 31, 2011, 4.1% (or $5,182,000) 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.

See Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the schedule of the maturity of fixed maturity securities and for the schedule of principal payments for mortgage loans on real estate and construction loans held for investment.

If market conditions were to cause interest rates to change, the market value of the fixed income portfolio (of approximately $234,919,000) could change by the following amounts based on the respective basis point swing (the change in the market values were calculated using a modeling technique):

		-200 bps				-100 bps			+100 bps		+200 bps
Change in Market Value (in thousands)		$	18,360			$	9,617				$	(12,945	)		$	(23,179	)

The Company is subject to risk based capital guidelines established by statutory regulators requiring minimum capital levels based on the perceived risk of assets, liabilities, disintermediation, and business risk. At December 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011, the life insurance subsidiaries exceeded the regulatory criteria.

The Company’s total capitalization of stockholders’ equity, and bank debt and notes payable were $91,722,000 as of December 31, 2012, as compared to $86,250,000 as of December 31, 2011. Stockholders’ equity as a percent of total capitalization was 87.0% and 71.0% as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Bank debt and notes payable decreased $13,109,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 when compared to December 31, 2011, thus increasing 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 2012 was 6.0% as compared to a rate of 6.5% for 2011.

At December 31, 2012, $32,992,000 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.

Forward-Looking Statements

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their businesses without fear of litigation so long as those statements are identified as forward-looking and are accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in such statements. The Company desires to take advantage of the “safe harbor” provisions of the act.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements, together with related data and projections, about the Company’s projected financial results and its future plans and strategies. However, actual results and needs of the Company may vary materially from forward-looking statements and projections made from time to time by the Company on the basis of management’s then-current expectations. The business in which the Company is engaged involves changing and competitive markets, which may involve a high degree of risk, and there can be no assurance that forward-looking statements and projections will prove accurate.

Factors that may cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those contemplated or projected, forecast, estimated or budgeted in such forward looking statements include among others, the following possibilities: (i) heightened competition, including the intensification of price competition, the entry of new competitors, and the introduction of new products by new and existing competitors; (ii) adverse state and federal legislation or regulation, including decreases in rates, limitations on premium levels, increases in minimum capital and reserve requirements, benefit mandates and tax treatment of insurance products; (iii) fluctuations in interest rates causing a reduction of investment income or increase in interest expense and in the market value of interest rate sensitive investment; (iv) failure to obtain new customers, retain existing customers or reductions in policies in force by existing customers; (v) higher service, administrative, or general expense due to the need for additional advertising, marketing, administrative or management information systems expenditures; (vi) loss or retirement of key executives or employees; (vii) increases in medical costs; (viii) changes in the Company’s liquidity due to changes in asset and liability matching; (ix) restrictions on insurance underwriting based on genetic testing and other criteria; (x) adverse changes in the ratings obtained by independent rating agencies; (xi) failure to maintain adequate reinsurance; (xii) possible claims relating to sales practices for insurance products and claim denials and (xiii) adverse trends in mortality and morbidity; (xiv) deterioration of real estate markets and (xv) lawsuits in the ordinary course of business.

Off-Balance Sheet Agreements

At December 31, 2012, the Company was contingently liable under a standby letter of credit aggregating $458,224, to be used as collateral to cover any contingency related to additional risk assessments pertaining to the Company's self-insurance casualty program. The Company does not expect any material losses to result from the issuance of the standby letter of credit because claims are not expected to exceed premiums paid. Accordingly, the estimated fair value of these instruments is zero.

At December 31, 2012, SecurityNational Mortgage was contingently liable under a standby letter of credit aggregating $1,250,000, to be used as collateral to cover any contingency related to claims filed in states where SecurityNational Mortgage is licensed. SecurityNational Mortgage does not expect any material losses to result from the issuance of the standby letter of credit. Accordingly, the estimated fair value of these instruments is zero.

As of December 31, 2012, there was $201,681,000 in mortgage loans in which settlements with third party investors were still pending.

The total of the Company unfunded residential construction loan commitments as of December 31, 2012 was $431,000.

Contractual Obligations

The Company’s contractual obligations as of December 31, 2012 and the payments due by period are shown in the following table:

	Less than 1 year		1-3 years		4-5 years		over 5 years		Total
Non-cancelable operating leases	$	2,242,899	$	4,013,867	$	957,931	$	13,797	$	7,228,494
Notes and contracts payable		6,266,765		5,435,939		161,704		45,935		11,910,343
	$	8,509,664	$	9,449,806	$	1,119,635	$	59,732	$	19,138,837

Variable Interest Entities

In conjunction with the Company’s casualty insurance program, limited equity interests are held in a captive insurance entity. This program permits the Company to self-insure a portion of losses, to gain access to a wide array of safety-related services, to pool insurance risks and resources in order to obtain more competitive pricing for administration and reinsurance and to limit its risk of loss in any particular year. This entity meets the definition of a variable interest entity (VIE); however, under generally accepted accounting principles, “there is not a requirement to include this entity in the consolidated financial statements.” The maximum exposure to loss related to the Company’s involvement with this entity is limited to approximately $458,224, a majority of which is collateralized under a standby letter of credit issued on the insurance entity’s behalf. See Note 9, “Reinsurance, Commitments and Contingencies,” for additional discussion of commitments associated with the insurance program and Note 1, “Significant Accounting Policies”, for further information on a standby letter of credit. As of December 31, 2012, there are no other entities that met the definition of a variable interest entity.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company has no activities in derivative financial or commodity instruments other than those recorded and disclosed in the financial statements. See Note 18 of the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. The Company’s exposure to market risks (i.e., interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk and equity price risk) through other financial instruments, including cash equivalents, accounts receivable and lines of credit, is not material.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and the Shareholders

Security National Financial Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Security National Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2012. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Security National Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. Supplemental Schedules II, IV and V, are presented for purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

1) Significant Accounting Policies

General Overview of Business

Security National Financial Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Company”) operate in three main business segments: life insurance, cemetery and mortuary, and mortgage loans. The life insurance segment is engaged in the business of selling and servicing selected lines of life insurance, annuity products and accident and health insurance marketed primarily in the intermountain west, California and eleven southern states. The cemetery and mortuary segment of the Company consists of five cemeteries in Utah, one cemetery in California, seven mortuaries in Utah and one mortuary in Arizona. The mortgage loan segment is an approved government and conventional lender that originates and underwrites residential and commercial loans for new construction, existing homes and real estate projects primarily in California, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Texas, and Utah.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The presentation of certain amounts in prior years has been reclassified to conform to the 2012 presentation.

Principles of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Investments

The Company’s management determines the appropriate classifications of investments in fixed maturity securities and equity securities at the acquisition date and re-evaluates the classifications at each balance sheet date.

Fixed maturity securities held to maturity are carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Although the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments to maturity, infrequent and unusual conditions could occur under which it would sell certain of these securities. Those conditions include unforeseen changes in asset quality, significant changes in tax laws, and changes in regulatory capital requirements or permissible investments.

Fixed maturity and equity securities available for sale are carried at estimated fair value. Changes in fair values net of income taxes are reported as unrealized appreciation or depreciation and recorded as an adjustment directly to stockholders’ equity and, accordingly, have no effect on net income.

Mortgage loans on real estate, and construction loans are carried at their principal balances adjusted for charge-offs, the related allowance for loan losses, and net deferred fees or costs on originated loans. The Company defers related material loan origination fees, net of related direct loan origination costs, and amortizes the net fees over the term of the loans.

Mortgage loans are collateral dependent and require an appraisal at the time of underwriting and funding. Generally the Company will fund a loan not to exceed 80% of the loan’s collateral fair market value. Amounts over 80% will require mortgage insurance by an approved third party insurer. Once a loan is deemed to be impaired the Company will review the market value of the collateral and provide an allowance for any impairment.

Mortgage loans sold to investors are carried at the amount due from third party investors, which is the estimated fair value at the balance sheet date since these amounts are generally collected within a short period of time.

Real estate held for investment is carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the properties, or is adjusted to a new basis for impairment in value, if any.

Years Ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010

1) Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Other real estate owned held for investment are foreclosed properties which the Company intends to hold for investment purposes. These properties are recorded at the lower of cost or market value upon foreclosure. Deprecation is provided on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the properties. These properties are analyzed for impairment periodically in accordance with our policy for long-lived assets.

Other real estate owned held for sale are foreclosed properties which the Company intends to sell. These properties are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, less cost to sell.

Policy and other loans are carried at the aggregate unpaid balances, less allowances for possible losses.

Short-term investments are carried at cost and consist of certificates of deposit and commercial paper with maturities of up to one year.

Restricted assets of cemeteries and mortuaries are assets held in a trust account for future mortuary services and merchandise and consist of cash; participations in mortgage loans with Security National Life; mutual funds carried at cost; equity securities carried at fair market value; and a surplus note with Security National Life.

Cemetery and mortuary perpetual care trust business segment contains six wholly owned cemeteries. Of the six cemeteries owned by the Company, four cemeteries are endowment care properties. Under endowment care arrangements a portion of the price for each lot sold is withheld and invested in a portfolio of investments similar to those described in the prior paragraph. The earnings stream from the investments is designed to fund future maintenance and upkeep of the cemetery.

Realized gains and losses on investments arise when investments are sold (as determined on a specific identification basis) or are other-than-temporarily impaired. If in management’s judgment a decline in the value of an investment below cost is other-than-temporary, the cost of the investment is written down to fair value with a corresponding charge to earnings. Factors considered in judging whether an impairment is other-than-temporary include: the financial condition, business prospects and credit worthiness of the issuer, the length of time that fair value has been less than cost, the relative amount of the decline, and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment until the fair value recovers, which is not assured.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Cemetery Land and Improvements

The development of a cemetery involves not only the initial acquisition of raw land but the installation of roads, water lines, landscaping and other costs to establish a marketable cemetery lot. The costs of developing the cemetery are shown as an asset on the balance sheet. The amount on the balance sheet is reduced by the total cost assigned to the development of a particular lot when the criterion for recognizing a sale of that lot is met.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from three to forty years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the useful life or remaining lease terms.

Recognition of Insurance Premiums and Other Considerations

Premiums for traditional life insurance products (which include those products with fixed and guaranteed premiums and benefits and consist principally of whole life insurance policies, limited payment life insurance policies, and certain annuities with life contingencies) are recognized as revenues when due from policyholders. Revenues for interest-sensitive insurance policies (which include universal life policies, interest-sensitive life policies, deferred annuities, and annuities without life contingencies) are recognized when earned and consist of amounts assessed against policyholder account balances during the period for policy administration charges and surrender charges.

1) Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs and Value of Business Acquired

Commissions and other costs, net of commission and expense allowances for reinsurance ceded, that vary with and are primarily related to the production of new insurance business have been deferred. Deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”) for traditional life insurance are amortized over the premium paying period of the related policies using assumptions consistent with those used in computing policy benefit reserves. For interest-sensitive insurance products, deferred policy acquisition costs are amortized generally in proportion to the present value of expected gross profits from surrender charges, investment, mortality and expense margins. This amortization is adjusted when estimates of current or future gross profits to be realized from a group of products are reevaluated. Deferred acquisition costs are written off when policies lapse or are surrendered.

The Company follows accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America when accounting for DAC on internal replacements of insurance and investment contracts. An internal replacement is a modification in product benefits, features, rights or coverage that occurs by the exchange of a contract for a new contract, or by amendment, endorsement, or rider to contract, or by the election of a feature or coverage within a contract. Modifications that result in a replacement contract that is substantially changed from the replaced contract are accounted for as an extinguishment of the replaced contract. Unamortized DAC, unearned revenue liabilities and deferred sales inducements from the replaced contract are written-off. Modifications that result in a contract that is substantially unchanged from the replaced contract are accounted for as a continuation of the replaced contract.

Value of business acquired is the present value of estimated future profits of the acquired business and is amortized similar to deferred policy acquisition costs.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

The total residential mortgage loans serviced for others consist primarily of agency conforming fixed-rate mortgage loans. The value of MSRs is derived from the net cash flows associated with the servicing contracts. The Company receives a servicing fee of generally about 0.250% annually on the remaining outstanding principal balances of the loans. Based on the result of the cash flow analysis, an asset or liability is recorded for mortgage servicing rights. The servicing fees are collected from the monthly payments made by the mortgagors. The Company generally receives other remuneration including rights to various mortgagor-contracted fees such as late charges, and collateral reconveyance charges and the Company is generally entitled to retain the interest earned on funds held pending remittance of mortgagor principal, interest, tax and insurance payments.

The Company’s subsequent accounting for MSRs is based on the class of MSRs. The Company has identified two classes of MSRs: MSRs backed by mortgage loans with initial term of 30 years and MSRs backed by mortgage loans with initial term of 15 years. The Company distinguishes between these classes of MSRs due to their differing sensitivities to change in value as the result of changes in market. After being initially recorded at fair value, MSRs backed by mortgage loans are accounted for using the amortization method. MSR amortization is determined by amortizing the balance straight-line over an estimated nine year life.

The Company periodically assesses MSRs for impairment. Impairment occurs when the current fair value of the MSR falls below the asset’s carrying value (carrying value is the amortized cost reduced by any related valuation allowance). If MSRs are impaired, the impairment is recognized in current-period earnings and the carrying value of the MSRs is adjusted through a valuation allowance.

1) Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Management periodically reviews the various loan strata to determine whether the value of the MSRs in a given stratum is impaired and likely to recover. When management deems recovery of the value to be unlikely in the foreseeable future, a write-down of the cost of the MSRs for that stratum to its estimated recoverable value is charged to the valuation allowance.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Loan Losses and Impaired Loans

The Company records an allowance and recognizes an expense for potential losses from mortgage loans, other loans and receivables in accordance with FASB Codification Topic 450.

Receivables are the result of cemetery and mortuary operations, mortgage loan operations and life insurance operations. The allowance is based upon the Company’s historical experience for collectively evaluated impairment. Other allowances are based upon receivables individually evaluated for impairment. Collectability of the cemetery and mortuary receivables is significantly influenced by current economic conditions. The critical issues that impact recovery of mortgage loan operations are interest rate risk, loan underwriting, new regulations and the overall economy.

The Company provides allowances for losses on its mortgage loans held for investment through an allowance for loan losses. The allowance is comprised of two components. The first component is an allowance for collectively evaluated impairment that is based upon the Company’s historical experience in collecting similar receivables. The second component is based upon individual evaluation of loans that are determined to be impaired. Upon determining impairment the Company establishes an individual impairment allowance based upon an assessment of the fair value of the underlying collateral. See the schedules in Note 2 for additional information. In addition, when a mortgage 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, an adjustment for the lower of cost or fair value is made, if necessary, and the amount is classified as other real estate owned held for investment or sale. The Company will rent the properties until it is deemed desirable to sell them.

The allowance for losses on mortgage loans held for investment could change based on changes in the value of the underlying collateral, the performance status of the loans, or the Company’s actual collection experience. The actual losses could change, in the near term, from the established allowance, based upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of these events.

Loan Loss Reserve

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 loan loss reserve analysis involves mortgage loans that have been sold to third party investors where the Company has received a demand from the investor. There are generally three types of demands: make whole, repurchase, or indemnification. These types of demands are more particularly described as follows:

Make whole demand – A make whole demand occurs when an investor forecloses on a property and then sells the property. The make whole amount is calculated as the difference between the original unpaid principal balance, accrued interest and fees, less the sale proceeds.

Repurchase demand – A repurchase demand usually occurs when there is a significant payment default, error in underwriting or detected loan fraud.

Indemnification demand – On certain loans the Company has negotiated a set fee that is to be paid in lieu of repurchase. The fee varies by investor and by loan product type.

Additional information related to the Loan Loss Reserve is included in Note 2.

Future Life, Annuity and Other Policy Benefits

Future policy benefit reserves for traditional life insurance are computed using a net level method, including assumptions as to investment yields, mortality, morbidity, withdrawals, and other assumptions based on the life insurance subsidiaries’ experience, modified as necessary to give effect to anticipated trends and to include provisions for possible unfavorable deviations. Such liabilities are, for some plans, graded to equal statutory values or cash values at or prior to maturity. The range of assumed interest rates for all traditional life insurance policy reserves was 4.5% to 10%. Benefit reserves for traditional limited-payment life insurance policies include the deferred portion of the premiums received during the premium-paying period. Deferred premiums are recognized as income over the life of the policies. Policy benefit claims are charged to expense in the period the claims are incurred. Increases in future policy benefits are charged to expense.

Future policy benefit reserves for interest-sensitive insurance products are computed under a retrospective deposit method and represent policy account balances before applicable surrender charges. Policy benefits and claims that are charged to expense include benefit claims incurred in the period in excess of related policy account balances. Interest crediting rates for interest-sensitive insurance products ranged from 3% to 6.5%.

Participating Insurance

Participating business constituted 2%, 2%, and 2% of insurance in force for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The provision for policyholders’ dividends included in policyholder obligations is based on dividend scales anticipated by management. Amounts to be paid are determined by the Board of Directors.

Reinsurance

The Company follows the procedure of reinsuring risks in excess of $100,000 to provide for greater diversification of business to allow management to control exposure to potential losses arising from large risks, and provide additional capacity for growth. The Company remains liable for amounts ceded in the event the reinsurers are unable to meet their obligations.

The Company entered into coinsurance agreements with unaffiliated insurance companies under which the Company assumed 100% of the risk for certain life insurance policies and certain other policy-related liabilities of the insurance company.

Reinsurance premiums, commissions, expense reimbursements, and reserves related to reinsured business are accounted for on a basis consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. Expense allowances received in connection with reinsurance ceded are accounted for as a reduction of the related policy acquisition costs and are deferred and amortized accordingly.

Cemetery and Mortuary Operations

Pre-need contract sales of funeral services and caskets - revenue and costs associated with the sales of pre-need funeral services and caskets are deferred until the services are performed or the caskets are delivered.

Sales of cemetery interment rights (cemetery burial property) - revenue and costs associated with the sale of cemetery interment rights are recognized in accordance with the retail land sales provisions based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, recognition of revenue and associated costs from constructed cemetery property must be deferred until a minimum percentage of the sales price has been collected.

Pre-need contract sales of cemetery merchandise (primarily markers and vaults) - revenue and costs associated with the sale of pre-need cemetery merchandise is deferred until the merchandise is delivered. Pre-need contract sales of cemetery services (primarily merchandise delivery, installation fees and burial opening and closing fees) - revenue and costs associated with the sales of pre-need cemetery services are deferred until the services are performed.

Prearranged funeral and pre-need cemetery customer acquisition costs - costs incurred related to obtaining new pre-need contract cemetery and prearranged funeral services are accounted for under the guidance of the provisions based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Obtaining costs, which include only costs that vary with and are primarily related to the acquisition of new pre-need cemetery and prearranged funeral services, are deferred until the merchandise is delivered or services are performed.

Revenues and costs for at-need sales are recorded when a valid contract exists, the services are performed, collection is reasonably assured and there are no significant obligations remaining.

The Company, through its cemetery and mortuary operations, provides guaranteed funeral arrangements wherein a prospective customer can receive future goods and services at guaranteed prices. To accomplish this, the Company, through its life insurance operations, sells to the customer an increasing benefit life insurance policy that is assigned to the mortuaries. If, at the time of need, the policyholder/potential mortuary customer utilizes one of the Company’s facilities, the guaranteed funeral arrangement contract that has been assigned will provide the funeral goods and services at the contracted price. The increasing life insurance policy will cover the difference between the original contract prices and current prices. Risks may arise if the difference cannot be fully met by the life insurance policy. However, management believes that given current inflation rates and related price increases of goods and services, the risk of exposure is minimal.

Mortgage Fee Income

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 generally accepted accounting principles at the time the sales of mortgage loans comply with the sales criteria for the transfer of financial assets, which are: (i) the transferred assets have been isolated from the Company and its creditors, (ii) the transferee has the right to pledge or exchange the mortgage, and (iii) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred mortgage. The Company must determine that all three criteria are met at the time a loan is funded. All rights and title to the mortgage loans are assigned to unrelated financial institution investors, including investor commitments for the loans, prior to warehouse banks purchasing the loans under the purchase commitments.

The Company, through SecurityNational Mortgage, sells all mortgage loans to third party investors without recourse. However, it may be required to repurchase a loan or pay a fee instead of repurchase under certain events, which include 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.

Loan 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 SecurityNational Mortgage are generally settled by the investors as agreed within 20 days after delivery. There are situations, however, 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 its best interest to repurchase those loans from the warehouse banks. It is the Company's policy to cure any documentation problems regarding such loans at a minimal cost for up to a six-month time period and to pursue efforts to enforce loan purchase commitments from third-party investors concerning the loans. The Company believes that six months allows adequate time to remedy any documentation issues, to enforce purchase commitments, and to exhaust other alternatives. Remedial methods include the following:

SECURITY NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION

AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010

1) Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

·	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 later becomes delinquent is evaluated by the Company at that time and any impairment is 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 the Company uses the market price on the repurchased date.
·	For loans where there is no market but there is a similar product, the Company uses the market value for the similar product on the repurchased date.
·	For loans where no active market exists on the repurchased date, the Company determines 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 mortgage loan adds significance to the Company’s determination of fair value because 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 of the loans because 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 Company’s current policy is to not lend more than 80% of the appraised market value at the time of funding unless third party mortgage insurance is obtained to insure the amount in excess of the 80% limitation. New appraisals are not obtained on mortgages in a current payment status.

The Company provides an allowance for loan losses on its mortgage loans held for investment. The allowance is comprised of two components. The first component is an allowance for collectively evaluated impairment that is based upon the Company’s historical experience in collecting similar receivables. The second component is based upon individual evaluation of loans that are determined to be impaired.

Commercial Loans

Each quarter, management reviews the current commercial loans and determines if an allowance is required based on the Company’s actual experience of losses on impaired commercial loans. To date, the Company has not incurred any significant losses. As a result, management has determined that no allowance is required on current commercial loans in its portfolio. The carrying value of all commercial loans is supported by appraisals and cash flow analysis of revenue received. Also, the Company has not accrued any interest income or capitalized any of the foreclosure costs on the impaired commercial loans.

Residential and Construction Loans

The Company believes that in an orderly market fair value will approximate the replacement cost of a home and the rental income provides a cash flow stream for investment analysis. The Company believes the highest and best use of the properties are as income producing assets since it is the Company’s intent to hold the properties as rental properties, matching the income from the investment in rental properties with the funds required for future estimated policy claims. Accordingly, the fair value determination will be weighted more heavily toward the rental analysis.

1) Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

It should be noted that for replacement cost, when determining the fair value of mortgage properties, the Company uses Marshall and Swift, a provider of building cost information to the real estate construction industry. For the investment analysis, the Company used market data based upon its real estate operation experience and projected the present value of the net rental income over seven years. The Company used 60% of the projected cash flow analysis and 40% of the replacement cost to approximate fair value of the collateral.

Each quarter the Company also analyzes its current loan portfolio and determines the level of allowance needed for loans that are listed as current in the portfolio. The basis of the analysis places a higher weight on loans with high loan to value ratios, those that lack mortgage insurance, and certain loan types that have a higher percentage of default based on the Company’s experience.

Each quarter the Company makes further analysis of the foreclosed properties to determine if any additional allowances are necessary by comparing national indexes of loan to value ratios by region to the Company’s loan to value ratios. Based upon the above procedures, the Company’s management believes that residential and construction loans are reflected in the Company’s financial statements at the lower of cost or market in accordance with GAAP requirements.

Self-Insurance

The Company is self-insured for certain casualty insurance, workers compensation and liability programs. Self-Insurance reserves are maintained relative to these programs. The level of exposure from catastrophic events is limited by the purchase of stop-loss and aggregate liability reinsurance coverage. When estimating the self-insurance liabilities and related reserves, management considers a number of factors, which include historical claims experience, demographic factors, severity factors and valuations provided by independent third-party actuaries. Management reviews its assumptions with its independent third-party administrators and actuaries to evaluate whether the self-insurance reserves are adequate. If actual claims or adverse development of loss reserves occurs and exceed these estimates, additional reserves may be required. The estimation process contains uncertainty since management must use judgment to estimate the ultimate cost that will be incurred to settle reported claims and unreported claims for incidents incurred but not reported as of the balance sheet date.

Goodwill

Previous acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases under which assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair values with the excess purchase price recognized as goodwill. The Company evaluates annually or when changes in circumstances warrant the recoverability of goodwill and if there is a decrease in value, the related impairment is recognized as a charge against income. No impairment of goodwill has been recognized in the accompanying financial statements.

Long-lived Assets

Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset, and long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. No impairment of long-lived assets has been recognized in the accompanying financial statements.

Income Taxes

Income taxes include taxes currently payable plus deferred taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to the temporary differences in the financial reporting basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities and operating loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Liabilities are established for uncertain tax positions expected to be taken in income tax returns when such positions are judged to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold based on the technical merits of the positions. Estimated interest and penalties related to uncertain tax penalties are included as a component of other expenses.

Earnings Per Common Share

The Company computes earnings per share in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per equivalent Class A common share are computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted-average number of Class A common shares outstanding during each year presented, after the effect of the assumed conversion of Class C common stock to Class A common stock. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year used to compute basic earnings per share plus dilutive potential incremental shares. Basic and diluted earnings per share amounts have been adjusted retroactively for the effect of annual stock dividends.

Stock Based Compensation

The cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments is recognized in the financial statements and is measured based on the fair value on the grant date of the award. The fair value of stock options is calculated using the Black Scholes method. Stock option compensation expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

Advertising Expense

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. The total amount charged to advertising expense for 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $4,065,000, $2,237,000 and $2,122,000, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities – In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued authoritative guidance related to balance sheet offsetting. The new guidance requires disclosures about assets and liabilities that are offset or have the potential to be offset. These disclosures are intended to address differences in the asset and liability offsetting requirements under U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). This new guidance will be effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2013, with retrospective application required. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

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.

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.

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

Securities on deposit for regulatory authorities as required by law amounted to $9,190,012 at December 31, 2012 and $9,593,318 at December 31, 2011. The restricted securities are included in various assets under investments on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Mortgage Loans

Mortgage loans consist of first and second mortgages. The mortgage loans bear interest at rates ranging from 2.0 % to 10.5%, maturity dates range from three months to 30 years and are secured by real estate. Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of mortgage loan debtors have similar economic characteristics that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. Although the Company has a diversified mortgage loan portfolio consisting of residential mortgages, commercial loans and residential construction loans and requires collateral on all real estate exposures, a substantial portion of its debtors’ ability to honor obligations is reliant on the economic stability of the geographic region in which the debtors do business. At December 31, 2012, the Company has 26%, 19%, 12% and 12% of its mortgage loans from borrowers located in the states of Utah, California, Florida and Texas, respectively. The mortgage loans on real estate balances on the consolidated balance sheet are reflected net of an allowance for loan losses of $4,239,861 and $4,881,173 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Company establishes a valuation allowance for credit losses in its portfolio.

Credit Risk Profile Based on Performance Status

The Company’s mortgage loan portfolio is monitored based on performance of the loans. Monitoring a mortgage loan increases when the loan is delinquent or earlier if there is an indication of impairment. The Company defines non-performing mortgage loans as loans 90 days or greater delinquent or on non-accrual status.

The Company’s performing and non-performing mortgage loans were as follows:

Non-Accrual Mortgage Loans

Once a loan is past due 90 days, it is the policy of the Company to end the accrual of interest income on the loan and write off any income that had been accrued. Interest not accrued on these loans totals $1,925,000 and $2,023,000 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The following is a summary of mortgage loans on a nonaccrual status for the periods presented.

Loan Loss Reserve

When a repurchase demand is received from a third party investor, the relevant data is reviewed and captured so that an estimated future loss can be calculated. The key factors that are used in the estimated loss calculation are as follows: (i) lien position, (ii) payment status, (iii) claim type, (iv) unpaid principal balance, (v) interest rate, and (vi) validity of the demand. Other data is captured and is useful for management purposes; the actual estimated loss is generally based on these key factors. The Company conducts its own review upon the receipt of a repurchase demand. In many instances, the Company is able to resolve the issues relating to the repurchase demand by the third party investor without having to make any payments to the investor.

The following is a summary of the loan loss reserve which is included in other liabilities and accrued expenses:

	Years Ended December 31

Charge-offs		(355,631	)		(5,228,955	)
Balance, at December 31	$	6,035,295		$	2,337,875

The Company believes the loan loss reserve represents probable loan losses incurred as of the balance sheet date. The loan loss reserve may not be adequate, however, for claims asserted by third party investors. Actual loan loss experience could change, in the near-term, from the established reserve based upon claims asserted by third party investors. If SecurityNational Mortgage is unable to negotiate acceptable terms with the third party investors, legal action may ensue in an effort to obtain amounts that the third party investors claim are allegedly due. In the event of legal action, if SecurityNational Mortgage is not successful in its defenses against claims asserted by these third party investors to the extent that a substantial judgment is entered against SecurityNational Mortgage which is beyond its capacity to pay, SecurityNational Mortgage may be required to curtail or cease operations.

6) Bank and Other Loans Payable (Continued)

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 of the hedged bank loan, any realized or unrealized gain or loss from the hedging swap would be recognized in income coincident with the extinguishment.

At December 31, 2012, the fair value of the interest rate swap was an unrealized loss of $93,572 and was computed based on the underlying variable Libor rate plus 1.65%, or 2.65% per annum. The unrealized loss resulted in a derivative liability of $93,572 and has been reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income. The change in accumulated other comprehensive income from the interest rate swap in 2012 was $24,240. The fair value of the interest rate swap was derived from a proprietary model of the bank from whom the interest rate swap was purchased and to whom the note is payable.

At December 31, 2011, the fair value of the interest rate swap was an unrealized loss of $117,812 and was computed based on the underlying variable Libor rate plus 1.65%, or 2.65% per annum. The unrealized loss resulted in a derivative liability of $117,812 and has been reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income. The change in accumulated other comprehensive income from the interest rate swap in 2011 was $1,279. The fair value of the interest rate swap was derived from a proprietary model of the bank from whom the interest rate swap was purchased and to whom the note is payable.

The Company has a $6,000,000 revolving line-of-credit with a bank with interest payable at the prime rate minus .75% (2.50% at December 31, 2012), secured by the capital stock of Security National Life and maturing June 15, 2013, renewable annually. As of December 31, 2012, there was $4,608,204 outstanding under the revolving line-of-credit. As of December 31, 2012, $652,572 was available and $514,224 was reserved for two outstanding letters of credit. $1,500,000 was carved out for a loan in September 2008 that as of December 31, 2012 has a balance of $225,000. As the principal payments on the loan are made the line of credit amount increases in availability.

The Company has a $15,000,000 revolving line-of-credit with a bank with interest payable at the variable overnight Libor rate plus 2% (2.1875% at December 31, 2012), secured by bond investments of the Company and maturing June 30, 2013. As of December 31, 2012 there was $15,000,000 available under the revolving line-of-credit.

The Company has a $2,000,000 revolving line-of-credit with a bank with interest payable at the prime rate plus 1.25% (4.5% at December 31, 2012), secured by the capital stock of Security National Life and maturing June 30, 2013. As of December 31, 2012 $1,250,000 was reserved for an outstanding letter of credit. As of December 31, 2012 there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving line-of-credit.

7) Cemetery and Mortuary Endowment Care and Pre-need Merchandise Funds

The Company is required by state law to pay into perpetual care trusts a portion of the proceeds from the sale of cemetery property interment rights. The related cemetery perpetual care trusts are defined as variable interest entities pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles. Also, management has determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of these trusts, as it absorbs both a majority of the losses and returns associated with the trusts. The Company has consolidated cemetery perpetual care trust investments with a corresponding amount recorded as Cemetery Perpetual Care Obligation in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The components of the cemetery perpetual care obligation are as follows:

	December 31

Life insurance companies with combined total assets less than $500 million receive a special deduction that lowers their effective tax rate. The Company’s combined tax assets exceed $500 million at December 31, 2012. Therefore, the Company’s valuation allowance related to the small life insurance company deduction has decreased. The remaining valuation allowance relates to differences between recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities and ultimate anticipated realization.

The valuation allowance increased $2,688,604 during 2012 and decreased $2,464,848 during 2011.

The Company paid $1,900,000, $174,811, and $108,522 in income taxes for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

At December 31, 2012, the Company had $376,799 of unrecognized tax benefits principally relating to tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. At December 31, 2012, the Company had $22,006 in interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits. The Company accounts for interest expense and penalties for unrecognized tax benefits as part of its income tax provision. Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, other than interest and penalties, the disallowance of the shorter deductibility period would not affect the annual effective tax rate but would accelerate the payment of cash to the taxing authority to an earlier period. As of December 31, 2012, the Company does not expect any material changes to the estimated amount of unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months. Federal and state income tax returns for 2009 through 2012 are subject to examination by taxing authorities.

9) Reinsurance, Commitments and Contingencies

Reinsurance

The Company follows the procedure of reinsuring risks in excess of a specified limit, which ranged from $25,000 to $100,000 during the years 2012 and 2011. The Company is liable for these amounts in the event such reinsurers are unable to pay their portion of the claims. The Company has also assumed insurance from other companies having insurance in force amounting to approximately $1,665,573,000 (unaudited) at December 31, 2012 and approximately $1,732,120,000 (unaudited) at December 31, 2011.

The effective date of the Coinsurance Agreement was November 1, 2012. Under the terms of the Coinsurance Agreement, Security National Life agreed to reinsure certain insurance policies of Mothe Life in exchange for the settlement amount of $34,485,000. In addition, the Coinsurance Agreement provides that effective November 1, 2012, Mothe Life ceded and transferred to Security National Life, and Security National Life accepted and coinsured all of Mothe Life’s contractual liabilities under the coinsured policies by means of indemnity reinsurance. On December 18, 2012, the Louisiana Department of Insurance approved the Coinsurance Agreement.

The Coinsurance Agreement further provides that on and after the effective date of November 1, 2012, Security National Life is entitled to exercise all contractual rights of Mothe Life under the coinsured policies in accordance with the terms and provisions of such policies. Moreover, after the closing date of December 19, 2012, the Company agreed to be responsible for all the contractual liabilities under the coinsured policies, including the administration of the coinsured policies at its sole expense in accordance with the terms and conditions of a Service Agreement between Security National Life and Mothe Life. Pursuant to the terms of the Coinsurance Agreement, Security National Life paid a ceding commission to Mothe Life in the amount of $4,684,000. As a result of the ceding commission, Mothe Life transferred $34,485,000 in assets and $39,169,000 in statutory reserves, or liabilities, to Security National Life.

Reinsurance with North America Life Insurance Company

On September 1, 2011 Security National Life with the approval of the Texas Department of Insurance assumed all of the policies that were issued by North America Life previously assumed and coinsured pursuant to the terms of the Coinsurance Agreement. Security National Life has assumed the same terms and conditions as set forth in each policy and certificates of assumptions were sent to all policyholders.

JP Morgan Chase Indemnification Demand

The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, SecurityNational Mortgage, received a notice of claim for indemnification dated December 21, 2011 relating to mortgage loans that EMC Mortgage, LLC (“EMC Mortgage”) allegedly purchased as a third party investor from SecurityNational Mortgage. The notice was from JP Morgan Chase & Co. (“JP Morgan Chase”) on behalf of EMC Mortgage. According to the notice, the alleged indemnification claim relates to mortgage loans that SecurityNational Mortgage sold to EMC Mortgage under a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated December 5, 2005, between SecurityNational Mortgage and EMC. The notice also referenced an Agreement of Guaranty, dated February 23, 2006, by the Company relative to EMC Mortgage. The notice states that EMC Mortgage allegedly purchased mortgage loans from SecurityNational Mortgage, which were later securitized by means of mortgage pass-through certificates.

The notice from JP Morgan Chase further states that the Company and SecurityNational Mortgage are required to indemnify EMC Mortgage for any losses arising from the lawsuit against EMC based upon alleged untrue statements of material fact related to information that was provided by SecurityNational Mortgage. The amended complaint includes the loan numbers of the alleged non-complying mortgage loans that EMC Mortgage sold to the Trust. In a letter dated February 7, 2012 from JP Morgan Chase that accompanied a copy of the amended complaint, JP Morgan Chase asserted that 21 mortgage loans originated by SecurityNational Mortgage were included in the lawsuit as part of the alleged non-complying mortgage loans that EMC allegedly sold to the Trust. Thus, it appears that only a very small percentage of the alleged non-complying mortgage loans that EMC Mortgage sold to the Trust were mortgage loans that SecurityNational Mortgage had sold to EMC.

Mortgage Loan Loss Litigation

Lehman Brothers - Aurora Loan Services Litigation

On April 15, 2005, SecurityNational Mortgage entered into a loan purchase agreement with Lehman Brothers Bank, FSB (“Lehman Bank”). Under the terms of the loan purchase agreement, Lehman Bank agreed to purchase mortgage loans from time to time from SecurityNational Mortgage. During 2007, Lehman Bank and its wholly owned subsidiary, Aurora Loan Services LLC (“Aurora Loan Services”), purchased a total of 1,490 mortgage loans in the aggregate amount of $352,774,000 from SecurityNational Mortgage. Lehman Bank asserted that certain of the mortgage loans that it purchased from SecurityNational Mortgage during 2007 contained alleged misrepresentations and early payment defaults. As a result of these alleged breaches in the mortgage loans, Lehman Bank contended it had the right to require SecurityNational Mortgage to repurchase certain loans or be liable for losses related to such loans under the loan purchase agreement. SecurityNational Mortgage disagrees with these claims.

Other Contingencies and Commitments

The Company has entered into commitments to fund new residential construction loans. As of December 31, 2012, the Company’s commitments were $3,592,513 for these loans of which $3,161,112 had been funded. The Company will advance funds once the work has been completed and an independent inspection is made. The maximum loan commitment ranges between 50% and 80% of appraised value. The Company receives fees from the borrowers and the interest rate is generally 2% to 6.75% over the bank prime rate (3.25% as of December 31, 2012). Maturities range between six and twelve months.

At December 31, 2012, SecurityNational Mortgage was contingently liable under a standby letter of credit aggregating $1,250,000, to be used as collateral to cover any contingency relating to claims filed in states where SecurityNational Mortgage is licensed. SecurityNational Mortgage does not expect any material losses to result from the issuance of the standby letter of credit. Accordingly, the estimated fair value of these instruments is zero.

The Company is self-insured for certain casualty insurance, worker compensation and liability programs. Self-Insurance reserves are maintained relative to these programs. The level of exposure from catastrophic events is limited by the purchase of stop-loss and aggregate liability reinsurance coverage. When estimating the self-insurance liabilities and related reserves, management considers a number of factors, which include historical claims experience, demographic factors, severity factors and valuations provided by independent third-party actuaries. Management reviews its assumptions with its independent third-party administrators and actuaries to evaluate whether the self-insurance reserves are adequate. If actual claims or adverse development of loss reserves occurs and exceed these estimates, additional reserves may be required. The estimation process contains uncertainty since management must use judgment to estimate the ultimate cost that will be incurred to settle reported claims and unreported claims for incidents incurred but not reported as of the balance sheet date. At December 31, 2012, $589,661 of reserves was established related to such insurance programs versus $623,135 at December 31, 2011.

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.

10) Retirement Plans

The Company and its subsidiaries have a noncontributory Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) for all eligible employees. Eligible employees are primarily those with more than one year of service, who work in excess of 1,000 hours per year. Contributions, which may be in cash or stock of the Company, are determined annually by the Board of Directors.

The Company’s contributions are allocated to eligible employees based on the ratio of each eligible employee’s compensation to total compensation for all eligible employees during each year. The Company did not make any contributions for 2012, 2011 and 2010. At December 31, 2012 the ESOP held 599,250 shares of Class A and 2,294,549 shares of Class C common stock of the Company. All shares held by the ESOP have been allocated to the participating employees and all shares held by the ESOP are considered outstanding for purposes of computing earnings per share.

The Company has three 401(k) savings plans covering all eligible employees, as defined above, which includes employer participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The plans allow participants to make pretax contributions up to a maximum of $17,000, $16,500 and $16,500 for the years 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively or the statutory limits.

Beginning January 1, 2008, the Company elected to be a “Safe Harbor” Plan for its matching 401(k) contributions. The Company matched 100% of up to 3% of an employee’s total annual compensation and matched 50% of 4% to 5% of an employee’s annual compensation. The match was in Company Stock. The Company’s contribution for 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $222,719, $208,206 and $344,772, respectively under the “Safe Harbor” plan.

In 2001, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan. Under the terms of the Plan, the Company will provide deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees, within the meaning of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. The Board has appointed a Committee of the Company to be the Plan Administrator and to determine the employees who are eligible to participate in the plan. The employees who participate may elect to defer a portion of their compensation into the plan. The Company may contribute into the plan at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company did not make any contributions for 2012, 2011 and 2010.

The Company has a deferred compensation agreement with its past Chief Executive Officer. The deferred compensation is payable on the retirement or death of this individual either in annual installments over 10 years or in a lump sum settlement, if approved by the Board of Directors. The amount payable is $60,000 per year with cost of living adjustments each anniversary. The compensation agreement also provides that any remaining balance will be payable to his heirs in the event of his death. In addition, the agreement provides that the Company will pay the Group Health coverage for this individual and/or his spouse.

11) Capital Stock

The Company has two classes of common stock with shares outstanding, Class A and Class C. Class C shares vote share for share with the Class A shares on all matters except election of one third of the directors who are elected solely by the Class A shares, but generally are entitled to a lower dividend participation rate. Class C shares are convertible into Class A shares at any time on a ten to one ratio. The decrease in treasury stock was the result of treasury stock being used to fund the company’s 401-K and Deferred Compensation Plans.

Stockholders of both classes of common stock have received 5% stock dividends in the years 1990 through 2012, as authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors.

12) Stock Compensation Plans

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 $251,031, $253,934 and $520,457 has been recognized under these plans for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The weighted-average fair value of each option granted in 2012 under the 2006 Plan, is estimated at $3.18 for the December 7, 2012 options as of the grant date using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following weighted-average assumptions: dividend yield of 5%, volatility of 73.89%, risk-free interest rate of 0.70%, and an expected term of 5.31 years.

The weighted-average fair value of each option granted in 2012 under the 2003 Plan and the 2006 Plan, is estimated at $0.64 and $0.66, respectively for the April 13, 2012 options as of the grant date using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following weighted-average assumptions: dividend yield of 5% and 5%, volatility of 70.26% and 72.58%, risk-free interest rate of 0.84% and 1.04%, and an expected term of 4.53 to 5.32 years, respectively.

The weighted-average fair value of each option granted in 2011 under the 2003 Plan and the 2006 Plan, is estimated at $0.52 and $0.71 for the December 2, 2011 options as of the grant date using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 5%, volatility of 59%, risk-free interest rate of 3.4%, and an expected life of five to ten years.

The weighted-average fair value of each option granted during 2010 under the 2003 Plan and the 2006 Plan, is estimated at $0.77 and $0.71 for the December 3, 2010 options as of the grant date using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 5%, volatility of 65%, risk-free interest rate 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 adjusted for actual experience. Future volatility is estimated based upon the weighted historical volatility of the Company’s Class A common stock and three peer company stocks 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.

Description and activity for each Plan is summarized as follows:

1993 Stock Incentive Plan

On June 21, 1993, the Company adopted the Security National Financial Corporation 1993 Stock Incentive Plan (the “1993 Plan”), which reserved 300,000 shares of Class A Common Stock for issuance there under. The 1993 Plan allows the Company to grant options and issue shares as a means of providing equity incentives to key personnel, giving them a proprietary interest in the Company and its success and progress.

The 1993 Plan provides for the grant of options and the award or sale of stock to officers, directors, and employees of the Company. Both “incentive stock options,” as defined under Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), and “non-qualified options” may be granted pursuant to the 1993 Plan. Options intended as incentive stock options may be issued only to employees, and must meet certain conditions imposed by the Code, including a requirement that the option exercise price be not less than the fair market value of the option shares on the date of grant. The 1993 Plan provides that the exercise price for non-qualified options will be not less than at least 50% of the fair market value of the stock subject to such option as of the date of grant of such options, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors.

The options were granted to reward certain officers and key employees who have been employed by the Company for a number of years and to help the Company retain these officers and key employees by providing them with an additional incentive to contribute to the success of the Company.

The 1993 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors or by a committee designated by the Board. The options shall be either fully exercisable on the grant date or shall become exercisable thereafter in such installments as the Board or the committee may specify. The 1993 Plan provides that if the shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares or if the Company shall issue any shares of Common Stock as a stock dividend on its outstanding Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the exercise of options shall be increased or decreased proportionately, and appropriate adjustments shall be made in the purchase price per share to reflect such subdivision, combination or stock dividend. No options may be exercised for a term of more than ten years from the date of grant.

The 2000 Plan terminated in 2006 and options granted are non-transferable.

13) Statutory Financial Information and Dividend Limitations

The Company’s insurance subsidiaries prepare their statutory-basis financial statements in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the insurance department of the applicable state of domicile. Prescribed statutory accounting practices include a variety of publications of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”), as well as state laws, regulations and general administrative rules. Permitted statutory accounting practices encompass all accounting practices not so prescribed.

All states require domiciled insurance companies to prepare statutory-basis financial statements in conformity with the NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual, subject to any deviations prescribed or permitted by the applicable insurance commissioner and/or director. Statutory accounting practices differ from GAAP primarily since they require charging policy acquisition and certain sales inducement costs to expense as incurred, establishing life insurance reserves based on different actuarial assumptions, and valuing certain investments and establishing deferred taxes on a different basis.

Statutory net income and capital and surplus of the Company’s insurance subsidiaries, determined in accordance with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by insurance regulatory authorities are as follows:

	Net Income							Capital and Surplus
	2012		2011			2010		2012		2011
Amounts by insurance subsidiary:
Security National Life Insurance Company	$	391,533	$	(34,795	)	$	1,050,328	$	29,828,732	$	24,257,274

Total	$	393,989	$	(35,818	)	$	1,075,269	$	32,992,295	$	26,923,108

The Utah, Arkansas, Mississippi and Texas Insurance Departments impose minimum risk-based capital requirements (“RBC”) that were developed by the NAIC on insurance enterprises. The formulas for determining the RBC specify various factors that are applied to financial balances or various levels of activity based on the perceived degree of risk. Regulatory compliance is determined by a ratio (the “Ratio”) of the enterprise’s regulatory total adjusted capital, as defined by the NAIC, to its authorized control level, as defined by the NAIC. Enterprises below specific trigger points or ratios are classified within certain levels, each of which requires specified corrective action. The life insurance subsidiaries have a combined weighted Ratio that is greater than the first level of regulatory action as of December 31, 2012.

Generally, the net assets of the life insurance subsidiaries available for transfer to the Company are limited to the amounts of the life insurance subsidiaries net assets, as determined in accordance with statutory accounting practices, which were $32,992,295 at December 31, 2012, exceed minimum statutory capital requirements; however, payments of such amounts as dividends are subject to approval by regulatory authorities.

The Company’s life insurance segment consists of life insurance premiums and operating expenses from the sale of insurance products sold by the Company’s independent agency force and net investment income derived from investing policyholder and segment surplus funds. The Company’s cemetery and mortuary segment consists of revenues and operating expenses from the sale of at-need cemetery and mortuary merchandise and services at its mortuaries and cemeteries, pre-need sales of cemetery spaces after collection of 10% or more of the purchase price and the net investment income from investing segment surplus funds. The Company’s mortgage loan segment consists of loan originations fee income and expenses from the originations of residential and commercial mortgage loans and interest earned and interest expenses from warehousing pre-sold loans before the funds are received from financial institutional investors.

Measurement of Segment Profit or Loss and Segment Assets

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the Significant Accounting Principles. Intersegment revenues are recorded at cost plus an agreed upon intercompany profit, and are eliminated upon consolidation.

Factors Management Used to Identify the Enterprise’s Reportable Segments

The Company’s reportable segments are business units that offer different products and are managed separately due to the different products and the need to report to the various regulatory jurisdictions.

15) Related Party Transactions

The Company’s Board of Directors has a written procedure, which requires disclosure to the Board of any material interest or any affiliation on the part of any of its officers, directors or employees that is in conflict or may be in conflict with the interests of the Company.

16) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. GAAP also specifies a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions. Fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:

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:

a)	Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
b)	Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets; or
c)	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.

The Company utilizes a combination of third party valuation service providers, brokers, and internal valuation models to determine fair value.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value disclosures related to other significant financial instruments:

The items shown under Level 1 and Level 2 are valued as follows:

Securities Available for Sale and Held to Maturity: The fair values of investments in fixed maturity and equity securities along with methods used to estimate such values are disclosed in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Statements.

Restricted Assets of the Cemeteries and Mortuaries: A portion of these assets include mutual funds and equity securities that have quoted market prices. Also included are cash and cash equivalents and participations in mortgage loans. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet for these financial instruments approximate their fair values.

Cemetery Perpetual Care Trust Investments: A portion of these assets include equity securities that have quoted market prices. Also included are cash and cash equivalents. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet for these financial instruments approximate their fair values.

Call Options: The fair values along with methods used to estimate such values are disclosed in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Statements.

16) Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)

The items shown under Level 3 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 crediting rates for interest-sensitive insurance products ranged from 4% to 6.5%. The fair values for the Company’s liabilities under investment-type insurance contracts (disclosed as policyholder account balances and future policy benefits – annuities) are estimated based on the contracts’ cash surrender values.

The fair values for the Company’s insurance contracts other than investment-type contracts are not required to be disclosed. However, the fair values of liabilities under all insurance contracts are taken into consideration in the Company’s overall management of interest rate risk, such that the Company’s exposure to changing interest rates is minimized through the matching of investment maturities with amounts due under insurance contracts.

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 defined to be derivatives under generally accepted accounting principles 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 swap mirrors the term of the note payable and expires on the maturity date of the bank loan it hedges. The interest rate swaps are a derivative financial instruments carried at its fair value. The fair value of the interest rate swap was derived from a proprietary model of the bank from whom the interest rate swap was purchased and to whom the note is payable.

Mortgage Loans on Real Estate: The fair values are estimated using interest rates currently being offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings. Loans with similar characteristics are aggregated for purposes of the calculations. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet for these financial instruments approximate their fair values.

Other Real Estate Owned Held for Investment and Held for Sale: The Company believes that in an orderly market fair value will approximate the replacement cost of a home and the rental income provides a cash flow stream for investment analysis. The Company believes the highest and best use of the properties are as income producing assets since it is the Company’s intent to hold the properties as rental properties, matching the income from the investment in rental properties with the funds required for future estimated policy claims. Accordingly, the fair value determination will be weighted more heavily toward the rental analysis.

In addition to this analysis performed by the Company, the Company depreciates Other Real Estate Owned Held for Investment. This depreciation reduces the book value of these properties and lessens the exposure to the Company from further deterioration in real estate values.

Mortgage Servicing Rights: The Company initially recognizes MSRs at their estimated fair values derived from the net cash flows associated with the servicing contracts, where the Company assumes the obligation to service the loan in the sale transaction. The precise fair value of MSRs cannot be readily determined because MSRs are not actively traded in stand-alone markets. Considerable judgment is required to estimate the fair values of these assets and the exercise of such judgment can significantly affect the Company’s earnings.

18) Derivative Commitments

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 issuance, the estimated fair value is zero. Following 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 forward loan sales commitments to economically hedge the price risk associated with its outstanding mortgage loan 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. 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.

The Company has adopted a strategy of selling “out of the money” call options on its available for sale equity securities as a source of revenue. The options give the purchaser the right to buy from the Company specified equity securities at a set price up to a pre-determined date in the future. The Company receives an immediate payment of cash for the value of the option and establishes a liability for the market value of the option. The liability for call options is adjusted to market value at each reporting date. The market value of outstanding call options as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $126,215 and $80,102, respectively. In the event an option is exercised, the Company recognizes a gain on the sale of the equity security and a gain from the sale of the option. If the option expires unexercised, the Company recognizes a gain from the sale of the option and retains the underlying equity security.

19) Acquisitions

On August 31, 2011 the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with North America Life to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Trans-Western Life Insurance Company (“Trans-Western”), a Texas domiciled insurance company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of North America Life. The Company completed the Stock Purchase Agreement on May 2, 2012. Purchase consideration paid was $494,207 which was the capital and surplus of Trans-Western at May 2, 2012. The Stock Purchase Agreement was approved by the Texas Insurance Department on March 20, 2012. All of Trans-Western’s insurance business had been ceded to North America Life, of which approximately 47% of the insurance in force had been assumed by the Company under the Coinsurance Agreement explained in Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Statements. As part of the stock purchase transaction, the Company recaptured the 47% of insurance in force.

The estimated fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition were as follows:

Cash	$	313,616
Receivables, net		186,487
Receivable from reinsurers		7,422,999

Mortgage servicing rights, net	$	2,797,470

Estimated fair value of MSRs at year end	$	2,797,470

Amortization for 2012 was immaterial, and has not been recorded. The following table summarizes the Company’s estimate of future amortization of its existing MSRs carried at amortized cost. This projection was developed using the assumptions made by management in its December 31, 2012 valuation of MSRs. The assumptions underlying the following estimate will change as market conditions and portfolio composition and behavior change, causing both actual and projected amortization levels to change over time. Therefore, the following estimates will change in a manner and amount not presently determinable by management.

	Estimated MSR Amortization
2013	$	310,830
2014		310,830
2015		310,830
2016		310,830
2017		310,830
Thereafter	$	1,243,320
Total	$	2,797,470

The Company began to retain MSRs in the second quarter of 2012. Since the retained MSRs were relatively small, they were determined to be immaterial. However, the Company substantially increased its MSR retention in the fourth quarter and began to report these MSRs pursuant to the accounting policy discussed in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

(a) Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting.

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process that is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and includes those policies and procedures that:

·	Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets of the Company,

·	Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the board of directors of the Company, and

·	Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

Management performed an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The objective of this assessment was to determine whether the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2012. Based on that assessment the Company believes that, at December 31, 2012, its internal control over financial reporting was effective.

This annual report on internal control over financial reporting does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On September 14, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors appointed Scott M. Quist to serve as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Scott Quist replaces George R. Quist, who served as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer from 1979 until his death on September 6, 2012. Scott Quist will also continue to serve as the Company’s President, a position he has held since 2002.

The following is a description of the business experience of each of the Company’s directors.

Scott M. Quist has served as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company since September 14, 2012. Mr. Quist will also continue to serve as the Company’s President, a position he has held since 2002. He has also served as a director of the Company since 1986. Mr. Quist served as First Vice President of the Company from 1986 to 2002. From 1980 to 1982, Mr. Quist was a tax specialist with Peat, Marwick, Mitchell, & Co., in Dallas, Texas. From 1986 to 1991, he was Treasurer and a director of The National Association of Life Companies, a trade association of 642 insurance companies until its merger with the American Council of Life Companies.

He has also served as a regional director of Key Bank of Utah since November 1993. Mr. Quist is currently a director and a past president of the National Alliance of Life Companies, a trade association of over 200 life companies. Mr. Quist holds a B.S. degree in Accounting from Brigham Young University and received his law degree also from Brigham Young University. Mr. Quist’s significant expertise and deep understanding of the technical, organizational and strategic business aspects of the insurance industry, his management expertise, his ten year tenure as President of the Company and twenty-six year tenure as a director, and his years of business and leadership experience led the Board of Directors to conclude that he should be appointed as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

J. Lynn Beckstead, Jr. has served as Vice President of Mortgage Operations and a director of the Company since 2002. In addition, Mr. Beckstead is President of SecurityNational Mortgage Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, having served in this position since 1993. From 1990 to 1993, Mr. Beckstead was Vice President and a director of Republic Mortgage Corporation. From 1983 to 1990, Mr. Beckstead was Vice President and a director of Richards Woodbury Mortgage Corporation. From 1980 to 1983, he was a principal broker for Boardwalk Properties. From 1978 to 1980, Mr. Beckstead was a residential loan officer for Medallion Mortgage Company. From 1977 to 1978, he was a residential construction loan manager of Citizens Bank. Mr. Beckstead’s expertise in real estate, his nineteen year tenure serving as President of SecurityNational Mortgage Company, and his business and leadership experience led the Board of Directors to conclude that he should serve as a director.

107

Charles L. Crittenden has served as a director of the Company since 1979. Mr. Crittenden has been sole stockholder of Crittenden Paint & Glass Company since 1958. He is also an owner of Crittenden Enterprises, a real estate development company, and Chairman of the Board of Linco, Inc. Mr. Crittenden’s status as one of the Company’s founders, his thirty-three year long tenure on the Company’s Board of Directors, and his years of business experience led the Board of Directors to conclude that he should serve as a director.

Gilbert A. Fuller has served as a director of the Company since December 7, 2012. From 2006 until his retirement in 2008, Mr. Fuller served as Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of USANA Health Sciences, Inc., a multinational manufacturer and direct seller of nutritional supplements. Mr. Fuller joined USANA in 1996 as the Vice President of Finance and served in that role until 1999 when he was appointed as its Senior Vice President. Mr. Fuller has served as a member of the Board of Directors of USANA since 2008. Before joining USANA, Mr. Fuller served in various executive positions for several different companies. Mr. Fuller served as Chief Administrative Officer and Treasurer of Melaleuca, Inc., a manufacturer and direct seller of personal care products. He was also the Vice President and Treasurer of Norton Company, a multinational manufacturer of ceramics and abrasives. Mr. Fuller obtained his certified public accountant license in 1970 and kept it current until his career path developed into corporate finance. Mr. Fuller received a B.S. degree in Accounting and an M.B.A. degree from the University of Utah. Mr. Fuller’s accounting, finance and corporate strategy expertise and his years of financial, accounting and business experience in public and private companies, including USANA Health Sciences, Inc., which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, where he served as an executive officer and continues to serve as a director, led the Board of Directors to conclude that he should serve as a director.

Robert G. Hunter, M.D. has served as a director of the Company since 1998. Dr. Hunter is currently a practicing physician in private practice. Dr. Hunter created the statewide E.N.T. Organization (Rocky Mountain E.N.T., Inc.) where he is currently a member of the Executive Committee. Dr. Hunter is Department Head of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery at Intermountain Medical Center and a past President of the medical staff of the Intermountain Medical Center. He is also a delegate to the Utah Medical Association and has served as a delegate representing the State of Utah to the American Medical Association, and a member of several medical advisory boards. Dr. Hunter holds a B.S. degree in Microbiology from the University of Utah and received his medical degree from the University of Utah College of Medicine. Dr. Hunter’s medical expertise and experience, and his administrative and leadership experience from serving in a number of administrative positions in the medical profession led the Board of Directors to conclude that he should serve as a director.

H. Craig Moody has served as a director of the Company since 1995. Mr. Moody is owner of Moody & Associates, a political consulting and real estate company. He is a former Speaker and House Majority Leader of the House of Representatives of the State of Utah. Mr. Moody holds a B.S. degree in Political Science from the University of Utah. Mr. Moody’s real estate and governmental affairs expertise and years of business and leadership experience led the Board of Directors to conclude he should serve as a director.

His final position was Manager of Planning and Reporting for J.C. Penny's stores. After 36 years with J.C. Penny's, Mr. Wilbur opted for early retirement in 1997. Mr. Wilbur holds a B.S. degree in Accounting from the University of Utah. Mr. Wilbur is a past executive director of the Dallas area for Habitat for Humanity. Mr. Wilbur’s financial expertise and business experience from a successful career at JC Penny’s led the Board of Directors to conclude he should serve as a director. In addition, the Board of Directors’ determination that Mr. Wilbur is the Audit Committee “financial expert” lends further support to his financial acumen and qualification for serving as a director.

108

The Board of Directors, Board Committees and Meetings

The Company's Bylaws provide that the Board of Directors shall consist of not less than three or more than eleven members. The term of office of each director is for a period of one year or until the election and qualification of his successor. A director is not required to be a resident of the State of Utah but must be a stockholder of the Company. The Board of Directors held a total of four meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. No directors attended fewer than 75% of all meetings of the Board of Directors during the 2012 fiscal year.

The size of the Board of Directors of the Company for the coming year is seven members. A majority of the Board of Directors must qualify as "independent" as that term is defined in Rule 4200 of the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that five of the seven members of the Board of Directors, Messrs. Charles L. Crittenden, Gilbert A. Fuller, Robert G. Hunter, M.D., H. Craig Moody and Norman G. Wilbur, are independent under the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market.

There are four committees of the Board of Directors, which meet periodically during the year: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Executive Committee, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

The Audit Committee directs the auditing activities of the Company's internal auditors and outside public accounting firm and approves the services of the outside public accounting firm.

Retirement Plans

On December 8, 1988, the Company entered into a deferred compensation plan with George R. Quist, the former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The plan was later amended on three occasions with the third amendment effective February 1, 2001. Under the terms of the plan as amended, upon the retirement of Mr. Quist, the Company is required to pay him ten annual installments in the amount of $60,000. The $60,000 annual payments are to be adjusted for inflation in accordance with the United States Consumer Price Index each year.

The plan also provided that the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, pay the amounts due under the plan in a single, lump-sum payment. The Company accrued $12,000 and $18,000 in fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively, to cover the present value of anticipated retirement benefits under the employment agreement of $598,426 as of December 31, 2012. Mr. Quist passed away on September 6, 2012, pursuant to the plan, the unpaid installments will be paid to his designated beneficiaries.

Employment Agreements

In the event of a sale or merger of the Company and Mr. Quist is not retained in his current position, the Company would be obligated to continue paying Mr. Quist’s current compensation and benefits for seven years following the merger or sale. The agreement further provides that Mr. Quist is entitled to receive annual retirement benefits beginning (i) one month from the date of his retirement (to commence no sooner than age 65), (ii) five years following complete disability, or (iii) upon termination of his employment without cause. These retirement benefits are to be paid for a period of twenty years in annual installments in the amount equal to 75% of his then current rate of compensation. However, in the event that Mr. Quist dies prior to receiving all retirement benefits there under, the remaining benefits are to be paid to his heirs. The Company expensed $87,467 and $145,036 in fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively, to cover the present value of anticipated retirement benefits under the employment agreement. The liability accrued is $1,173,242 and $1,121,162 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

In the event of a sale or merger of the Company, and Mr. Beckstead was not retained in his current position, the Company would be obligated to continue paying Mr. Beckstead’s current compensation and benefits for five years following the merger or sale. The agreement further provides that Mr. Beckstead is entitled to receive annual retirement benefits beginning (i) one month from the date of his retirement (to commence no sooner than age 62½) (ii) five years following complete disability, or (iii) upon termination of his employment without cause. These retirement benefits are to be paid for a period of ten years in annual installments in the amount equal to one-half of his then current annual salary. However, in the event that Mr. Beckstead dies prior to receiving all retirement benefits there under, the remaining benefits are to be paid to his heirs. The Company expensed $44,533 and $58,964 in fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively, to cover the present value of the retirement benefit of the agreement. The liability accrued is $613,403 and $533,483, as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Director Compensation

Directors of the Company (but not including directors who are employees) are currently paid a director’s fee of $16,800 per year by the Company for their services and are reimbursed for their expenses in attending board and committee meetings. An additional fee of $750 is paid to each audit committee member for each audit committee meeting attended. Each director is provided with an annual grant of stock options to purchase 1,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, which occurred under the 2000 Director Stock Option Plan for years 2000 to 2005 and under the 2006 Director Stock Option Plan for years 2006 to 2012. During 2012 and 2011 each director was granted an additional 5,000 and 5,000, respectively, stock options to purchase Class A Common Stock.

Employee 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan

In 1995, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan. Under the terms of the 401(k) plan, effective as of January 1, 1995, the Company made discretionary employer matching contributions to its employees who choose to participate in the plan. The plan allowed the board to determine the amount of the contribution at the end of each year. During the period from January 1, 1995 to December 31, 2007 the Board had adopted a contribution formula specifying that such discretionary employer matching contributions would equal 50% of the participating employee’s contribution to the plan to purchase Company’s stock up to a maximum discretionary employee contribution of 1/2 of 1% of participating employees’ compensation, as defined by the plan.

All persons who have completed at least one year’s service with the Company and satisfy other plan requirements are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan. All Company matching contributions are invested in the Company’s Class A common stock. Also, the Company may contribute at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors an Employer Profit Sharing Contribution to the 401(k) plan. The Employer Profit Sharing Contribution is to be divided among three different classes of participants in the plan based upon the participant’s title in the Company. All amounts contributed to the plan are deposited into a trust fund administered by an independent trustee.

Beginning January 1, 2008, the Company elected to be a “Safe Harbor” Plan for its matching 401(k) contributions. The Company will match 100% of up to 3% of an employee’s total annual compensation and 50% of 4% to 5% of an employee’s annual compensation. The match is in shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. The Company’s contribution for 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $222,719, $208,206 and $344,772, respectively under the “Safe Harbor” plan.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

Effective January 1, 1980, the Company adopted an employee stock ownership plan (the “ESOP Plan”) for the benefit of career employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The following is a description of the ESOP Plan, and is qualified in its entirety by the ESOP Plan, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company’s offices.

Under the ESOP Plan, the Company has discretionary power to make contributions on behalf of all eligible employees into a trust created under the ESOP Plan. Employees become eligible to participate in the ESOP Plan when they have attained the age of 19 and have completed one year of service (a twelve-month period in which the Employee completes at least 1,040 hours of service). The Company’s contributions under the ESOP Plan are allocated to eligible employees on the same ratio that each eligible employee’s compensation bears to total compensation for all eligible employees during each year. To date, the ESOP Plan has approximately 338 participants and had $-0- contributions payable to the Plan in 2012. Benefits under the ESOP Plan vest as follows: 20% after the third year of eligible service by an employee, an additional 20% in the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh years of eligible service by an employee.

118

Benefits under the ESOP Plan will be paid out in one lump sum or in installments in the event the employee becomes disabled, reaches the age of 65, or is terminated by the Company and demonstrates financial hardship. The ESOP Plan Committee, however, retains discretion to determine the final method of payment. Finally, the Company reserves the right to amend or terminate the ESOP Plan at any time. The trustees of the trust fund under the ESOP Plan are Scott M. Quist (Chairman) and Robert G. Hunter, who each serve a director of the Company, and S. Andrew Quist who does not serve as a director of the Company.

Deferred Compensation Plan

In 2001, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan. Under the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan, the Company will provide deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees, within the meaning of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. The board has appointed a committee of the Company to be the plan administrator and to determine the employees who are eligible to participate in the plan. The employees who participate may elect to defer a portion of their compensation into the plan. The Company may contribute into the plan at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company did not make any contributions for 2012, 2011 and 2010.

2003 Stock Option Plan

On July 11, 2003, the Company adopted the Security National Financial Corporation 2003 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2003 Plan”), which reserved 500,000 shares of Class A common stock and 1,000,000 shares of Class C common stock for issuance there under. The 2003 Plan was approved by the Board of Directors on May 9, 2003, and by the stockholders at the annual meeting of the stockholders held on July 11, 2003. The 2003 Plan allows the Company to grant options and issue shares as a means of providing equity incentives to key personnel, giving them a proprietary interest in the Company and its success and progress. On July 13, 2007, the stockholders approved an amendment to the 2003 Plan to increase the number of shares of Class A and Class C common stock reserved for issuance there under to 978,528 shares of Class A common stock and 2,110,775 shares of Class C common stock. On July 10, 2010, the stockholders approved an amendment to the 2003 plan to increase the number of shares of Class A and Class C common stock reserved for issuance there under to 1,478,528 shares of Class A common stock and 3,110,775 shares of Class C common stock.

The 2003 Plan provides for the grant of options and the award or sale of stock to officers, directors, and employees of the Company. Both “incentive stock options”, as defined under Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) and “non-qualified options” may be granted under the 2003 Plan. The exercise prices for the options granted are equal to or greater than the fair market value of the stock subject to such options as of the date of grant, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. The options granted under the 2003 Plan are to reward certain officers and key employees who have been employed by the Company for a number of years and to help the Company retain these officers by providing them with an additional incentive to contribute to the success of the Company.

119

The 2003 Plan is to be administered by the Board of Directors or by a committee designated by the board. The terms of options granted or stock awards or sales affected under the 2003 Plan are to be determined by the Board of Directors or its committee. The options shall be either fully exercisable on the date of grant or shall become exercisable thereafter in such installments as the board of the committee may specify. The Plan provides that if the shares of common stock shall be subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares or if the Company shall issue any shares of common stock as a stock dividend on its outstanding common stock, the number of shares of common stock deliverable upon the exercise of options shall be increased or decreased proportionately, and appropriate adjustments shall be made in the purchase price to reflect such subdivision, combination or stock dividend. In addition, the number of shares of common stock reserved for purposes of the plan shall be adjusted by the same proportion. No options may be exercised for a term of more than ten years from the date of grant.

Options intended as incentive stock options may be issued only to employees, and must meet certain conditions imposed by the code, including a requirement that the option exercise price be no less than then fair market value of the option shares on the date of grant. The 2003 Plan provides that the exercise price for non-qualified options will not be less than at least 50% of the fair market value of the stock subject to such option as of the date of grant of such options, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors.

The 2003 Plan has a term of ten years. The Board of Directors may amend or terminate the 2003 Plan at any time, subject to approval of certain modifications to the 2003 Plan by the shareholders of the Company as may be required by law or the 2003 Plan.

2006 Director Stock Option Plan

On December 7, 2006, the Company adopted the 2006 Director Stock Option Plan (the “Director Plan”) effective December 7, 2006. The Director Plan provides for the grant by the Company of options to purchase up to an aggregate of 100,000 shares of Class A common stock for issuance there under. The Director Plan provides that each member of the Company’s Board of Directors who is not an employee or paid consultant of the Company is automatically eligible to receive options to purchase the Company’s Class A common stock under the Director Plan.

Effective as of December 7, 2006, and on each anniversary date thereof during the term of the Director Plan, each outside director shall automatically receive an option to purchase 1,000 shares of Class A common stock. In addition, each new outside director who shall first join the Board after the effective date shall be granted an option to purchase 1,000 shares upon the date which such person first becomes an outside director and an annual grant of an option to purchase 1,000 shares on each anniversary date thereof during the term of the Director Plan. The options granted to outside directors shall vest in four equal quarterly installments over a one year period from the date of grant, until such shares are fully vested. The primary purposes of the Director Plan are to enhance the Company’s ability to attract and retain well-qualified persons for service as directors and to provide incentives to such directors to continue their association with the Company.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Company’s executive officers, directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file reports of ownership and periodic changes in ownership of the Company’s common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such persons are also required to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.

Based solely on its review of the copies of stock reports received by it with respect to fiscal 2012, or written representations from certain reporting persons, the Company believes that its directors, executive officers and greater than 10% beneficial owners complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to them, except that each of the Company’s officers and directors (with the exception of Gilbert Fuller), through an oversight, filed one late Form 4 report disclosing the granting of stock options in April 2012.

120

In addition, Scott Quist, through an oversight, filed two late Form 4 reports disclosing the exercise of stock options in August 2012 and December 2012; and Lynn Beckstead, through an oversight, filed two late Form 4 reports disclosing the exercise of stock options in October 2012 and November 2012, and one late Form 4 disclosing one transaction involving the sale of shares of Class A common stock in December 2012.

Moreover, Stephen Sill, through an oversight, filed two late Form 4 reports disclosing the exercise of stock options in August 2012 and November 2012; Jeffrey Stephens, through an oversight, filed one late Form 4 report disclosing the exercise of stock options in December 2012 and one late Form 4 report disclosing one transaction involving the sale of shares of Class A common stock in December 2012; and Christie Overbaugh, through an oversight, filed two late Form 4 reports disclosing the exercise of stock options in November 2012 and December 2012.
