Retirement Plans

On December 8, 1988, the Company entered into a deferred compensation plan with George R. Quist, the 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. Retirement is defined in the plan as the age of 70, or a later retirement age, as specified by the Board of Directors. The $60,000 annual payments are to be adjusted for inflation in accordance with the United States Consumer Price Index for each year after January 1, 2002. If Mr. Quist’s employment is terminated by reason of disability or death before he reaches retirement age, the Company is to make the ten annual payments to Mr. Quist, in the event of disability, or to his designated beneficiary, in the event of death.

The plan also provides that the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, pay the amounts due under the plan in a single, lump-sum payment. In the event that Mr. Quist dies before the ten annual payments are made, the unpaid balance will continue to be paid to his designated beneficiary. The plan further requires the Company to furnish an automobile for Mr. Quist’s use and to pay all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with its use for a ten year period, and to provide Mr. Quist with a hospitalization policy with similar benefits to those provided to him the day before his retirement or disability. However, in the event Mr. Quist’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason other than retirement, death, or disability, the entire amount of deferred compensation payments under the plan shall be forfeited by him. The Company accrued $37,000 and $34,000 in fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively, to cover the present value of anticipated retirement benefits under the employment agreement, which was $419,000 as of December 31, 2006.

Employment Agreements

On July 16, 2004, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Scott M. Quist, its President and Chief Operating Officer. The agreement is effective as of December 4, 2003 and has a five-year term, but the Company has agreed to renew the agreement on December 4, 2008 and 2013 for additional five-year terms, provided Mr. Quist performs his duties with usual and customary care and diligence. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Quist is to devote his full time to the Company serving as its President and Chief Operating Officer at not less than his current salary and benefits. The Company also agrees to maintain a group term life insurance policy of not less than $1,000,000 on Mr. Quist’s life and a whole life insurance policy in the amount of $500,000 on Mr. Quist’s life. In the event of disability, Mr. Quist’s salary would be continued for up to five years at 75% of its current level.

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 ten 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 thereunder, the remaining benefits are to be paid to his heirs. The Company accrued $79,900 and $37,800 in fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively, to cover the present value of anticipated retirement benefits under the employment agreement, which was $486,000 as of December 31, 2006.

On December 4, 2003, the Company, through its subsidiary SecurityNational Mortgage Company, entered into an employment agreement with J. Lynn Beckstead, Jr., Vice President of Mortgage Operations and President of SecurityNational Mortgage Company. The agreement has a five-year term, but the Company has agreed to renew the agreement on December 4, 2008 and 2013 for additional five-year terms, provided Mr. Beckstead performs his duties with usual and customary care and diligence. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Beckstead is to devote his full time to the Company serving as President of SecurityNational Mortgage Company at not less than his current salary and benefits, and to include $350,000 of life insurance protection. In the event of disability, Mr. Beckstead’s salary would be continued for up to five years at 50% of its current level.

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 thereunder, the remaining benefits are to be paid to his heirs. The Company accrued $44,900 and $46,300 in 2006 and 2005, respectively, to cover the present value of the retirement benefits of the employment agreement, which was $273,000 as of December 31, 2006.

Director Compensation

Directors of the Company (but not including directors who are employees) are currently paid a director’s fee of $13,200 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 in 2006. 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 year 2006.

Employee 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan

In 1995, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan. Under the terms of the 401(k) plan, effective as of January 1, 1995, the Company may make discretionary employer matching contributions to its employees who choose to participate in the plan. The plan allows the board to determine the amount of the contribution at the end of each year. The Board adopted a contribution formula specifying that such discretionary employer matching contributions would equal 50% of the participating employee's contribution to the plan to purchase Company stock up to a maximum discretionary employee contribution of ½ of 1% of a participating employee's compensation, as defined by the plan.

All persons who have completed at least one year's service with the Company and satisfy other plan requirements are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan. All Company matching contributions are invested in the Company's Class A common stock. The Company's matching contributions for 2006, 2005 and 2004 were approximately $8,656, $5,142 and $5,746, respectively. Also, the Company may contribute at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors an Employer Profit Sharing Contribution to the 401(k) plan. The Employer Profit Sharing Contribution shall be divided among three different classes of participants in the plan based upon the participant's title in the Company. All amounts contributed to the plan are deposited into a trust fund administered by an independent trustee. The Company's contributions to the plan for 2006, 2005 and 2004, were $162,584, $135,589 and $128,949, respectively.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

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

Under the Ownership Plan, the Company has discretionary power to make contributions on behalf of all eligible employees into a trust created under the Ownership Plan. Employees become eligible to participate in the Ownership Plan when they have attained the age of 19 and have completed one year of service (a twelve-month period in which the Employee completes at least 1,040 hours of service). The Company's contributions under the Ownership Plan are allocated to eligible employees on the same ratio that each eligible employee's compensation bears to total compensation for all eligible employees during each year. To date, the Ownership Plan has approximately 335 participants and had $138,286 contributions payable to the Plan in 2006. Benefits under the Ownership Plan vest as follows: 20% after the third year of eligible service by an employee, an additional 20% in the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh years of eligible service by an employee.

Benefits under the Ownership Plan will be paid out in one lump sum or in installments in the event the employee becomes disabled, reaches the age of 65, or is terminated by the Company and demonstrates financial hardship. The Ownership Plan Committee, however, retains discretion to determine the final method of payment. Finally, the Company reserves the right to amend or terminate the Ownership Plan at any time. The trustees of the trust fund under the Ownership Plan are George R. Quist, Scott M. Quist and Robert G. Hunter, who each 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's contribution for 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $125,558, $141,710 and $123,249, respectively.

2000 Director Stock Option Plan

On October 16, 2000, the Company adopted the 2000 Directors Stock Option Plan (the "Director Plan") effective November 1, 2000. The Director Plan provides for the grant by the Company of options to purchase up to an aggregate of 50,000 shares of Class A common stock for issuance thereunder. The Director Plan provides that each member of the Company's Board of Directors who is not an employee or paid consultant of the Company automatically is eligible to receive options to purchase the Company's Class A common stock under the Director Plan.

Effective as of November 1, 2000, and on each anniversary date thereof during the term of the Director Plan, each outside director shall automatically receive an option to purchase 1,000 shares of Class A common stock. In addition, each new outside director who shall first join the Board after the effective date shall be granted an option to purchase 1,000 shares upon the date which such person first becomes an outside director and an annual grant of an option to purchase 1,000 shares on each anniversary date thereof during the term of the Director Plan. The options granted to outside directors shall vest in their entirety on the first anniversary date of the grant. The primary purposes of the Director Plan are to enhance the Company's ability to attract and retain well-qualified persons for service as directors and to provide incentives to such directors to continue their association with the Company.

In the event of a merger of the Company with or into another company, or a consolidation, acquisition of stock or assets or other change in control transaction involving the Company, each option becomes exercisable in full, unless such option is assumed by the successor corporation. In the event the transaction is not approved by a majority of the continuing directors (as defined in the Director Plan), each option becomes fully vested and exercisable in full immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction, whether or not assumed by the successor corporation. The Director Plan terminated on November 1, 2006 and the 2006 Director Stock Option Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on December 7, 2006.

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 thereunder. 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 2006, or written representations from certain reporting persons, the Company believes that its directors, officers and greater than 10% beneficial owners complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to them, except George R. Quist, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Stephen M. Sill, Vice President, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer, and Robert G. Hunter, H. Craig Moody, and Norman G. Wilbur, directors of the Company, through an oversight, each filed one late Form 4 report disclosing the exercise of stock options.

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

Under rules established by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), the Company is required to provide certain data and information in regard to the compensation and benefits provided to its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and the three other most highly compensated executive officers. In fulfillment of this requirement, the Compensation Committee, at the direction of the Board of Directors, has prepared the following report for inclusion in this Proxy Statement.

Executive Compensation Philosophy. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is composed of four directors, all of whom are independent, outside directors. The Compensation Committee is responsible for setting and administering the policies and programs that govern both annual compensation and stock ownership programs for the executive officers of the Company. The Company’s executive compensation policy is based on principles designed to ensure that an appropriate relationship exists between executive pay and corporate performance, while at the same time motivating and retaining executive officers.

Executive Compensation Components. The key components of the Company’s compensation program are base salary, an annual incentive award, and equity participation. These components are administered with the goal of providing total compensation that is competitive in the marketplace, rewards successful financial performance and aligns executive officers’ interests with those of stockholders. The Compensation Committee reviews each component of executive compensation on an annual basis.

Base Salary . Base salaries for executive officers are set at levels believed by the Compensation Committee to be sufficient to attract and retain qualified executive officers. Base pay increases are provided to executive officers based on an evaluation of each executive’s performance, as well as the performance of the Company as a whole. In establishing base salaries, the Compensation Committee not only considers the financial performance of the Company, but also the success of the executive officers in developing and executing the Company’s strategic plans, developing management employees and exercising leadership. The Compensation Committee believes that executive officer base salaries for 2006 were reasonable as compared to amounts paid by companies of similar size.

Annual Incentive . The Compensation Committee believes that a significant proportion of total cash compensation for executive officers should be subject to attainment of specific Company financial performance. This approach creates a direct incentive for executive officers to achieve desired performance goals and places a significant percentage of each executive officer’s compensation at risk. Consequently, each year the Compensation Committee establishes potential bonuses for executive officers based on the Company’s achievement of certain financial performance. The Compensation Committee believes that executive officer annual bonuses for 2006 were reasonable as compared to amounts paid by companies of similar size.

Stock Options . The Compensation Committee believes that equity participation is a key component of its executive compensation program. Stock options are granted to executive officers primarily based on the officer’s actual and potential contribution to the Company’s growth and profitability and competitive marketplace practices. Option grants are designed to retain executive officers and motivate them to enhance stockholder value by aligning the financial interests of executive officers with those of stockholders. Stock options also provide an effective incentive for management to create stockholder value over the long term since the full benefit of the compensation package cannot be realized unless an appreciation in the price of the Company’s Class A common stock occurs over a number of years.

Compensation of Chief Executive Officer . Consistent with the executive compensation policy and components described above, the Compensation Committee determined the salary, bonus and stock options received by George R. Quist, the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, for services rendered in 2006. Mr. Quist received a base salary of $203,013 for 2006. Under the Compensation Committee’s rules, the Chief Executive Officer may not be present during voting or deliberations related to his compensation.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Company has an Audit Committee consisting of three non-management directors, Charles L. Crittenden, H. Craig Moody, and Norman G. Wilbur. Each member of the Audit Committee is considered independent and qualified in accordance with applicable independent director and audit committee listing standards. The Company's Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee.

During the year 2006 the Audit Committee met three times. The Audit Committee has met with management and discussed the Company's internal controls, the quality of the Company's financial reporting, the results of internal and external audit examinations, and the audited financial statements. In addition, the Audit Committee met with the Company's independent registered public accountants, Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell, P.C. and discussed all matters required to be discussed by the auditors with the Audit Committee under Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (communication with audit committees). The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with the auditors their annual written report on their independence from the Company and its management, which is made under Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (independence discussions with audit committees), and considered with the auditors whether the provision of financial information systems design and implementation and other non-audit services provided by them to the Company during 2006 was compatible with the auditors' independence.

In performing these functions, the Audit Committee acts only in an oversight capacity. In its oversight role, the Audit Committee relies on the work and assurances of the Company's management, which is responsible for the integrity of the Company's internal controls and its financial statements and reports, and the Company's independent auditors, who are responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company's financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and for issuing a report on these financial statements.

Pursuant to the reviews and discussions described above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO THE 2003 STOCK OPTION PLAN

PROPOSAL 2

The Board of Directors adopted on December 7, 2006, subject to the approval by the shareholders, an amendment to the Company's 2003 Stock Option Plan. The amendment increases from 549,182 to 949,182 the number of shares of the Company's Class A common stock available for issuance under the 2003 Stock Option Plan, and from 1,157,811 to 2,157,811 the number of shares of the Company's Class C common stock available for issuance thereunder. The Company has in the past used, and intends in the future to use, stock options as incentive devices to motivate and compensate its salaried officers and other key employees, and believes that equity incentives represented by stock options enhances the Company’s ability in attracting and retaining the best possible persons for positions of significant responsibility by providing its officers and other key employees with additional incentives to contribute to the Company’s success.

Management further believes that the availability of such equity incentives has served, and will continue to serve, an important part in the implementation of the Company’s acquisition strategy. As of March 31, 2007, options to purchase 93,150 shares of Class A common stock and no shares of Class C common stock have been exercised under the 2003 plan; as of such date, options to purchase 434,646 shares of Class A common stock and 1,157,625 shares of Class C common stock were outstanding under the 2003 Stock Option Plan. Accordingly, options to purchase only 72,407 shares of Class A common stock and 57,881 shares of Class C common stock remain available for future grants under the 2003 Stock Option Plan as of such date.

The Board of Directors recommends that the shareholders vote "FOR" approval of the amendment to the 2003 Stock Option Plan

APPROVAL OF 2006 DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION PLAN

PROPOSAL 3

On December 7, 2006, the Board of Directors adopted the 2006 Director Stock Option Plan (the “2006 Director Plan”), effective December 7, 2006. This section, which summarizes the material terms of the 2006 Director Plan, is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2006 Director Plan itself as set forth in Appendix A. The 2006 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 thereunder. The 2006 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 Class A common stock under the 2006 Director Plan.

Effective as of December 7, 2006, and on each anniversary date thereof during the term of the 2006 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 2006 Director Plan. The options granted to outside directors shall vest in their entirety by the first anniversary date of the grant. The primary purposes of the 2006 Director Plan are to enhance the Company’s ability to attract and retain well-qualified persons for service as directors and to provide incentives to such directors to continue their association with the Company.

In the event of a merger of the Company with or into another company, or a consolidation, acquisition of stock or assets or other change in control transaction involving the Company, each option becomes exercisable in full, unless such option is assumed by the successor corporation. In the event the transaction is not approved by a majority of the “Continuing Directors” (as defined in the 2006 Director Plan), each option becomes fully vested and exercisable in full immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction, whether or not assumed by the successor corporation.

The Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote "FOR" adoption of the 2006 Director Stock Option Plan and the reservation of 100,000 shares of Class A common stock for issuance thereunder.

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

PROPOSAL 4

The independent public accounting firm of Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell, P.C. has been the Company's independent registered public accountants since May 20, 2005. The Audit Committee has recommended and the Board of Directors has appointed Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell, P.C. for purposes of auditing the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007. It is anticipated that representatives of Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell, P.C. will be present at the Annual Meeting and will be provided an opportunity to make a statement if they desire, and to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

The Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote "FOR" ratification of the appointment of Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell, P.C. as the Company's independent registered public accountants for fiscal year ending December 31, 2007.

In addition, each new Outside Director who shall first join the Board on or after the Effective Date shall automatically be granted an Option to purchase 1,000 Shares upon the date on which such person first becomes an Outside Director, whether through election by the shareholders of the Company, appointment by the Board to fill a vacancy, or termination of employment by the Company while remaining as a Director (a “One-time Grant”) and an Annual Grant of an option to purchase 1,000 Shares on each anniversary date thereof during the term of this Plan.

(iv) In the event that any Option granted under the Plan would cause the number of Shares subject to outstanding Options plus the number of Shares previously purchased upon exercise of Options to exceed the Pool, then each such automatic grant shall be for that number of shares determined by dividing the total number of Shares remaining available for grant date. No further grants shall be made until such time, if any, as additional Shares become available for grant under the Plan through action of the shareholders to increase the number of Shares which may be issued under the Plan or through cancellation or expiration of Options preciously granted hereunder.

(c) POWERS OF THE BOARD. Subject to the provisions and restrictions of the Plan, the Board shall have the authority, in its discretion: (i) to determine, upon review of relevant information and in accordance with Section 2(i) of the Plan, the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock; (ii) to interpret the Plan; (iii) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan; (iv) to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company and instrument required to effectuate the grant of an Option previously granted hereunder; and (v) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.

5. ELIGIBILITY. Options may be granted only to Outside Directors. All Options shall be automatically granted in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 4(b) hereof.

The Plan shall not confer upon any Optionee any right with respect to continuation of service as a Director or nomination to serve as a Director, nor shall it interfere in any way with any rights which the Director or the Company may have to terminate his or her directorship at any time.

6. TERM OF PLAN. The plan shall become effective as of December 7, 2006 and shall continue in effect until the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date, unless sooner terminated under Section 12 of the plan.

7. CONSIDERATION. The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by the Board and may consist entirely of (i) cash; (ii) check; (iii) promissory note; (iv) other shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said Option shall be exercised and which, in the case of Shares acquired upon exercise of an option, have been owned by the Optionee for more that 12 months on the date of surrender; (v) delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds required to pay the exercise price; (vi) delivery of an irrevocable subscription agreement for the Shares not more than 12 months after the date of delivery of the subscription agreement; (vii) by a combination of the foregoing methods of payment; or (viii) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted under applicable law.

EXERCISE OF OPTION.

(a) PROCEDURE FOR EXERCISE; RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER. Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times as are set forth in Section 4(b) hereof; provided, however, that no Options shall be exercisable until stockholder approval of the Plan in accordance with Section 17 hereof has been obtained.

An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

An Option shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of such exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Option by the person entitled to exercise the Option and full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised has been received by the Company. Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment allocable under Section 7 of the Plan. Until the issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company) of the stock certificate evidencing such Shares, no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. A share certificate for the number of Shares so acquired shall be issued to the Optionee as soon as practicable after exercise of the Option. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 10 of the Plan.

2006 ANNUAL REPORT

My Fellow Shareholders:

I am pleased to report to you on the affairs of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2006 and invite you to attend the annual stockholders meeting to be held on July 13, 2007 in Salt Lake City, Utah.

The year 2006 was marked by significant milestones for our Company. Some selected financial statistics and results are illustrative: Earnings per share increased 45% to $.74 per share. Total revenue increased 17% over 2005 levels to $152,531,000, which was a little below our five year average revenue growth rate of 20%. Stockholders equity as calculated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, moved past the $50,000,000 mark for the first time to $52,971,000 and book value per share, using weighted average outstanding common shares rose 7% to $7.53.

Our Memorial operations performed well under the direction of Robert Quist in his first year as President of that group, realizing a 16% growth in revenue to $14,043,000 which resulted in a 43% growth in profitability (exclusive of realized gains on assets sold) to $602,000.

Our Life Insurance segment used 2006 as the year to improve the quality of life sales which resulted in a profitability increase of 60% to $4,471,000 on a pre-tax basis on a revenue increase of nearly 14% to $49,624,000. The acquisition of Memorial Insurance Company of America, which was accomplished last year, appears to be tracking as expected and contributed to the increased profitability this year.

Our Mortgage Operations saw a 30% decrease in profitability on an 18% increase in revenue. Continuing in 2006 we have expanded our operations in the face of a declining market. The mortgage market has been characterized by great consolidation over the last several years with many capable people losing their positions. While expensive in the short run, by hiring such people in well placed locations, we continue to build our branch organization and believe it will pay good dividends in the future. We now operate in 34 wholesale and retail branches located in 16 states.

Thank you for your confidence in our company. We continue in our efforts to both grow and increase in profitability.

The roots of our Company were planted deep in 1965 with the founding of Security National Life Insurance Company. Starting with only $543,000 in assets, in a small rented house in Salt Lake City, Utah, Security National has grown into a strong industry leader in several fields of service.

Over the past four decades we have grown consistently through new sales and investment opportunities, and through the acquisition of life insurance companies, funeral homes and cemeteries, as well as the formation and growth of our mortgage operations.

Our Company operates three main business segments: life insurance, funeral service and mortgage loans. The design and structure of our Company is that each segment is related to the others, and contributes to the profitability of the whole. For example, our cemetery and mortuary operations enjoy a high level of public awareness that assists in the sales and marketing of our insurance and pre-need cemetery/funeral products. Security National Life Insurance Company in turn invests its assets in high quality mortgage loans. Thus, while each segment is a stand-alone profit center, this horizontal integration is planned to improve profitability. Our Company also actively pursues growth through acquisitions of life insurance companies and mortuaries, and by expanding our mortgage operations.

We offer affordable life insurance with minimal qualifications. Our Preferred Plan is one of America’s newest and best pre-need insurance programs. First day coverage is available for clients ages 0 to 85. Some additional included benefits are the early pay-off option (same as cash), double indemnity for accidental death and accidental common carrier death benefits. Premiums will never increase and your basic death benefit will never decrease. At participating funeral establishments, you can have lifetime protection against funeral inflation cost by answering three simple health questions. Participating funeral homes also may offer complimentary child, grandchild, and great-grandchild protection.

Our single premium and flexible premium annuities offer great savings vehicles and are perfect for funding your funeral pre-need contract, while you earn tax-deferred interest on the monies deposited. Additionally, annuity contracts require no medical or health questions.

Our Basic Life Plans are available for people ages 0-85 years old at the time of application. The Basic Life 1 Plan has first day coverage with a guaranteed death benefit to age 100, and premiums which will never increase. The Basic Life 2 Plan is for people with health conditions that may prevent them from obtaining first day coverage. The Basic Life 3 Plan is for people with high blood pressure and diabetes.

Our Flexible Life Accumulator (FLA) life insurance product is specifically designed to build cash value in addition to offering the protective services of life insurance. Because the FLA product is a 10-year whole life insurance product with an annuity rider the product is portable and can be used in a number of ways. For instance you can use the cash value to help repay your college debt and/or you can keep the policy as a long-term investment, and for the security of life insurance.

As a policyholder you will have access to our Student Service Center which will guide you through the complexities of college finance. Applying for financial aid can be an overwhelming and daunting task. Government rules and regulations are constantly changing and our professional staff is here to advise you throughout the process of obtaining financial aid.

Our Student Service Center can help you and your student fund some or all of their college education through the use of federally guaranteed student loans. As well, we can help with scholarship searches and grant searches that may help fund your student’s education. Security National Life Insurance Company is an authorized lender of the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP). Since 1980, we have loaned over $200-million dollars to students through FFELP. Though you do not need to be a policyholder in order to received federal financial aid, we are proud to be a frontrunner in developing an innovative program which helps families provide for their educational funding needs as well as offering a well thought-out plan for helping you and your student repay the costs of obtaining a higher education.

Home Service Insurance is one of the oldest forms of insurance. It originated in England in 1854. Typically, the insurance was less than $1,000, which provided personal security for low and middle-income families. Today, Home Service Insurance is primarily used as burial insurance designed to pay the funeral and cemetery expenses that could shatter a family of limited means.

Home Service Insurance is a consumer friendly way to arrange and pay for funeral and burial expenses. Our product is sold through either a local funeral home or by a neighborhood agent. The personal approach continues with the payment options. Each month the customer may visit the funeral home or the agent will make a personal visit to the home to collect the premium. This allows the older population we serve to have the peace of mind that their personal choices will be honored.

Today, Security National Life Insurance Company is filling this key need for thousands of families by offering our Home Service Insurance Plans through local funeral homes and agents throughout the southern United States. Each of these funeral homes and agents are a Team Member with Security National Life and has the ability to customize a variety of pre-need funeral plans for the families and communities they serve.

Through Fast Funding, funeral homes assign the insurance policy a customer presents for payment of funeral services to Security National’s Fast Funding Department. The Funeral Home simply completes the “Request for Funding Worksheet” and “Assignment Form” which are then faxed to our Lake Mary office for verification.

As soon as the status of the insurance policy is determined and amount of benefit is verified, payment is made to the funeral home. This is typically a twenty-four hour process from the funding request to receipt of funds.

Funeral Fast Funding Benefits:

	Eliminate cash flow delays - limited paperwork
	Simplifies initial claims paperwork
	Funds are wired, or sent overnight, to funeral home from ONE SOURCE,
	Security National Life Insurance Company
	Certified Death Certificate not required for initial funding to funeral home

SecurityNational Mortgage currently operates 34 branch offices within the United States, and is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah.

We have worked diligently to establish strong relationships with the nation’s leading mortgage servicers, in order to provide a wide range of products to our mortgage brokers and business partners. We offer a full line of first and second mortgage products for residential real estate.

Depending on borrower’s credit and qualifications, financed amounts can be as high as 103% of the property value. We also offer “reduced documentation” alternatives for self-employed borrowers and others. In addition to standard FHA, VA, and conventional mortgages, we provide a full line of mortgage loans on loan sizes up to $1 million. In most cases, our mortgage loans are processed through our “rapid response” underwriting system, receiving same day decisions, saving time and money. In addition, we offer commercial and new construction financing for a variety of needs.

In this day and age, service and information are key . Our support staff and information systems are second to none. Our brokers, branch managers and business partners have confidence in knowing that business is getting done when they work with SecurityNational Mortgage.

Security National Capital complements SecurityNational Mortgage’s residential lending platform and provides an additional investment vehicle for our life insurance company. The company business plan is to successfully compete in the national commercial mortgage market as a direct lender and as a mortgage banker.

Security National Capital is located in our corporate headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah. Commercial mortgage programs are made available to approved residential mortgage brokers through the branch offices of SecurityNational Mortgage, strengthening and enhancing those important relationships. Through active internet marketing, commercial mortgages are also offered in all fifty states. Our target loan size is between $300,000 and $3,000,000.

We provide a full range of term conventional commercial mortgages for apartments, office buildings, retail and industrial properties. We distinguish ourselves in the marketplace through providing short term “bridge” financing on commercial properties that need to close quickly and that will be repaid within six to twelve months. We also offer “stated income” loans for established owner-occupied businesses. For a presentation of the mortgage products offered, please visit our state of the industry website: www.sncloans.com

Security National Capital is a direct lender originating commercial loans through its network of mortgage brokers; for its own portfolio, and for resale in the capital markets. Using relationships with other life insurance companies, commercial banks, and Wall Street investors, we package and sell closed loans, thereby leveraging the company’s capital and enhancing the return to Security National. We are originating and selling term commercial loans that are placed into rated Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities, and Collateralized Debt Obligations sold on Wall Street. Accessing the capital market increases Security National’s ability to provide competitive products and service to its borrowers and the desired returns to its shareholders.

We serve more than two thousand families annually who are faced with the burden of making decisions following the loss of a loved one. Uncertainty, stress and grief may aggravate the process, forcing decisions to be made within hours of the death. Plan today - together so that you do not leave undone what could and should be pre-arranged.

Facts regarding pre-planning:

Fact: Every household has, or will, experience the death of a loved one.

Fact: Most people find themselves poorly prepared to deal with the decisions and cost that a death will force upon them.

Fact: Making pre-arrangements is a precious and wise economic decision.

Togetherness: Loved ones share in the choices and decisions. This reduces heartache, expense and indecision. Inflation protection: Based upon the past five decades, the cost of funeral arrangements will continue to increase. Pre-planning allows these costs to be secured, regardless of inflation. Conserve life insurance: Life insurance you may have purchased to secure your loved ones’ future should not be used to pay for funeral expenses. It is there to compensate for loss of income and to preserve your family’s way of life. Peace of mind: because you have made your own decisions, you are leaving answers and comfort for those you love. This peace of mind provides benefit far beyond the dollars spent.

Contact us today for a complimentary “Gift of Love” Memorial Guide Book which will allow you to record important information that can ease the burden left to those you love.

The consolidated financial statements of Security National Financial Corporation and all information in the annual report are the responsibility of management.

Their role is to render independent professional opinions on Security National Financial Corporation’s financial statements.

Management maintains a system of internal controls designed to meet its responsibilities for reliable financial statements. This system is designed to provide reasonable assurance, at appropriate costs, that assets are safeguarded and that transactions are properly recorded and executed in accordance with management’s authorization.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and the Stockholders

Security National Financial Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Security National Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the related consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes 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, 2006 and 2005 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audit was 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, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Significant Accounting Policies

General Overview of Business

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

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance 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 2006 presentation.

Principles of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the financial statement of Security National Financial Corporation 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.

Held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortized cost, reflecting the Company’s intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Available-for-sale securities are stated at estimated fair value with net unrealized gains or losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

Investment gains and losses 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.

AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004

Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

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, which is based upon quoted trading prices. Changes in fair values net of income taxes are reported as unrealized appreciation or depreciation and recorded as an adjustment directly to stockholders’ equity and, accordingly, have no effect on net income.

Mortgage loans on real estate, construction loans and mortgage loans held for sale are carried at unpaid principal balances, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount, less allowance for possible losses.

Real estate 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 from impairment in value, if any.

Policy, student, 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 Insurance Company; mutual funds carried at cost; fixed maturity securities carried at cost adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount; and equity securities carried at fair market value.

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 and declines in value considered to be other than temporary, are recognized in operations on the specific identification basis.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the 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.

Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Cemetery Land and Improvements Held for Sale

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 criteria for recognizing a sale of that lot is met.

Property and Equipment

Property, plant 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 policy charges for the policy administration charges, and surrender charges assessed against policyholder account balances during the period.

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs and Cost of Insurance Acquired

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

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

Allowance for Loan Losses and Doubtful Accounts

The Company records an estimate of the expense for potential losses from not collecting mortgage loans, other loans and receivables. Mortgage loans held for sale and significant receivables are the result of cemetery and mortuary operations, mortgage loan operations and other receivables. The allowance is based upon the Company’s experience. The critical issues that impact recovery of the cemetery and mortuary receivables is the overall economy. The critical issues that impact recovery of mortgage loan operations are interest rate risk and loan underwriting.

Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

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 4% to 6.5%.

Participating Insurance

Participating business constituted 2%, 3%, and 2% of insurance in force for 2006, 2005 and 2004, 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 $75,000 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 of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 66, Accounting for the Sales of Real Estate (FAS No. 66). Under FAS 66, 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 sale of unconstructed cemetery property is deferred until such property has been constructed and meets the criteria of FAS No. 66 described above.

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 of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 60 Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises (FAS No. 60). 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 reasonably assured and there are no significant obligations remaining.

The Company, through its mortuary and cemetery 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 Operations

Mortgage fee income consists of origination fees, processing fees and certain other income related to the origination of mortgages. For mortgages sold to third party investors, mortgage fee income and related expenses are recognized at the time the loan meets the sales criteria for financial assets which are: (1) the transferred assets have been isolated from the Company and its creditors, (2) the transferee has the right to pledge or exchange the mortgage, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred mortgage. Certain loans funded are transferred to unrelated financial institutions under purchase commitments. All rights and title to the mortgage loans are assigned to the unrelated financial institutions, including any investor commitments for these loans prior to their purchasing these loans under the purchase commitments. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, mortgage loans totaling $190,455,000 and $93,389,000 respectively, have been sold and were outstanding under these commitments.

The Company has commitment agreements from financial institutions whereby the financial institutions have agreed to purchase mortgage loans up to $306,854,000 as of December 31, 2006, until these loans are purchased by third party investors.

The majority of loans originated are sold to third party investors. Receivables for mortgages sold to investors are shown on the balance sheet as mortgage loans sold to investors and are shown on the basis of the amount due from the investors, which includes fees. Any impairment to these receivables are included in a separate allowance for loan losses. The estimates are based upon historical experience and best estimate of future losses.

The Company accrues an estimate of future losses 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 year of duration and to repurchase loans in default within the first year. The estimates are based upon historical experience and best estimate of future liabilities. At December 31, 2006 and 2005 the reserve for future loan losses was $2,712,000 and $2,183,000, respectively.

Self Insurance

The Company is self insured for certain casualty insurance, workers compensation and health benefit 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 coverages. 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.

Earnings Per Common Share

The Company computes earnings per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128, Earnings per share . This Standard requires presentation of 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 Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123 (revised 2004). Share-Based Payment (“SFAS123R”). SFAS 123R requires the recognition of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments in the financial statements and is measured based on the grant date fair value of the award. The fair value of all options was calculated using the

Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Black Scholes method. SFAS 123R also requires the stock option compensation expense to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (the vesting period). Prior to adopting SFAS 123R, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation plans under Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”). Under APB 25, generally no compensation expense is recorded when the terms of the award are fixed and the exercise price of the employee stock option equals or exceeds the fair value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. The Company adopted the disclosure-only provision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS 123”).

The Company also has one variable option plan (the “1987 Plan”). In accordance with SFAS 123R for 2006 and APB Opinion No. 25 for 2005 and 2004, compensation cost related to options granted and outstanding under this plan is estimated and recognized over the period of the award based on changes in the current market price of the Company’s stock over the vesting period. Options granted under the 1987 Plan are exercisable for a period of ten years from the date of grant. No compensation was recognized under SFAS 125R for 2006 or under APB 25 for 2005 and 2004.

The Company has four fixed option plans (the “1987 Plan”, the “1993 Plan,” the “2000 Plan”, the “2003 Plan” and the “2006 Plan”). No compensation cost has been recognized for these plans under SFAS 123R for 2006 or under APB 25 for 2005 and 2004. Had compensation cost for 2005 and 2004 for these plans been determined based upon the fair value at the grant date consistent with the methodology prescribed under SFAS No. 123R, the Company’s net earning and basic and diluted earnings per share would have been reduced as follows:

The weighted-average fair value of each option granted in 2006 under the 2006 Plan, is estimated at $3.11 as of the grant date using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 5%, volatility of 42%, risk-free interest rate of 3.4%, and an expected life of ten years. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company calculated compensation expense of $7,680 related to stock options.

The Company generally estimates the expected life of the options based upon the contractual term of the options. Future volatility is estimated based upon the historical volatility of the Company’s Class A common stock over a period equal to the estimated life of the options. Common stock issued upon exercise of stock options are generally new share issuances rather than from treasury shares. Future compensation relating to non-vested stock options at December 31, 2006 is not material.

The weighted-average fair value of options granted in 2005 under the 2000 Plan and the 2003 Plan is estimated at $1.92 as of the grant date using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 5%, volatility of 39%, risk-free interest rate of 3.4%, and an expected life of five to ten years.

The weighted-average fair value of options granted in 2004 under the 2000 Plan and the 2003 Plan is estimated at $1.71 as of the grant date using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 5%, volatility of 36%, risk-free interest rate of 3.4%, and an expected life of five to ten years.

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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2005, the AICPA issued Statement of Position 05-1, Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs (“DAC”) in Connection with Modifications or Exchanges of Insurance Contracts , (“SOP 05-1”). SOP 05-1 provides guidance on accounting by insurance enterprises for DAC on internal replacements of insurance and investment contracts. An internal replacement is a modification in product benefits, features, rights or coverages that occurs by the exchange of a contract for a new contract, or by amendment, endorsement, or rider to a contract, or by the election of a feature or coverage within a contract. Modifications that result in a replacement contract that is substantially changed from the replaced contract should be accounted for as an extinguishment of the replaced contract. Unamortized DAC, unearned revenue liabilities and deferred sales inducements from the replaced contract must be written-off. Modifications that result in a contract that is substantially unchanged from the replaced contract should be accounted for as a continuation of the replaced contract. SOP 05-1 is effective for internal replacements occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with earlier adoption encouraged. Initial application of SOP 05-1 should be as of the beginning of the entity’s fiscal year. The Company will adopt SOP 05-1 effective January 1, 2007. Adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140 (SFAS 155). SFAS 155 amends SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities and related interpretations. SFAS 155 permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation and clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to recognition as liabilities. SFAS 155 eliminates the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS 155 is effective for the Company for all financial instruments acquired or issued beginning January 1, 2007. The impact of adoption of this statement on the Company’s consolidated financial statements will likely not be material.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (SFAS 156). SFAS 156 amends SFAS 140 Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities and related interpretations. SFAS 156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset. It also requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. SFAS 156 permits an entity to use either the amortization method or the fair value measurement method for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS 156 is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2007. The impact of adoption of this statement on the Company’s consolidated financial statements will likely not be material.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes , which attempts to set out a consistent framework for preparers to use to determine the appropriate level of valuation allowance tax reserves to maintain for deferred tax assets relating to uncertain tax positions. This interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 uses a two-step approach wherein a tax benefit is recognized if a position is more-than-likely-than-not to be sustained. The amount of the benefit is then measured to be the highest tax benefit, which is greater than a fifty percent likelihood of being realized. FIN 48 also sets out disclosure requirements to enhance transparency of an entity’s valuation allowances. The Company will adopt this Interpretation as of January 1, 2007. The impact from adoption has not been determined.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 will be applied prospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans , (“SFAS 158”). Under SFAS 158, the Company must recognize a net liability or asset to report the funded status of its defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans on its balance sheets. The effective date of the recognition and disclosure provisions for the company is as of December 31, 2006. Adoption of SFAS 158 did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2006 or for the year then ended.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 was issued to provide interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. The provisions of SAB 108 are effective for the Company for the year ended December 31, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007 the FASB issued SFAS No 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – including an amendment of FASB Statement No 115 (“SFAS 159”) SFAS 159 allows measurement at fair value of eligible financial assets and liabilities that are not otherwise measured at fair value. If the fair value option for an eligible item is elected, unrealized gains and losses for that item shall be reported in current earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparison between the different measurement attributes the Company elects for similar types of assets and liabilities. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is in the process of evaluating the application of the fair value option and its effect on its financial position and results of operations.

2) Acquisitions

Southern Security Life - Minority Interest Acquisition

As of December 31, 2004, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Security National Life Insurance Company (“Security National Life”), and its wholly owned subsidiary, SSLIC Holding, owned approximately 77% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Southern Security Life.

On January 1, 2005, the Company, through Security National Life, acquired the remaining 490,816 shares of common stock or the remaining 23% of Southern Security Life for $3.84 per share in cash, or an aggregate of $1,884,733, which was primarily paid during 2005.

The Florida Office of Insurance Regulation approved a reinsurance agreement on December 28, 2005. As a result of the reinsurance agreement, all of the insurance business and operations of Southern Security Life, including its assets and liabilities, were transferred to Security National Life, as reinsurer, as of December 31, 2005, the effective date of the agreement, except for the capital and surplus which is required to be maintained under Florida law. Thus, approximately $48,528,000 in assets and liabilities were transferred from Southern Security Life to Security National Life pursuant to the reinsurance agreement.

Southern Security Life - Sale

On December 29, 2006, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Security National Life, entered into an agreement to sell Southern Security Life to American Network Insurance Company ("American Network"), a Pennsylvania corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Penn Treaty America Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation. Under the terms of the agreement, Security National Life is to receive $4,265,884 upon approval of the transaction by the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation, the Florida Department of Financial Services, and the Pennsylvania Department of Insurance.

Until closing, Security National Life was required to pay $503,302 into an escrow account which will be repaid to Security National Life upon receipt of a written notice from American Network that it has deposited its own bonds with the states of Alabama, Michigan and South Carolina

In the event any of the regulatory authorities disapprove or fail to approve the transaction on or before June 30, 2007, the purchase price and payment by Security National Life will be released from escrow to the original parties and the purchase agreement will be terminated and Southern Security Life will be merged into Security National Life.

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

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

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

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

The Company disputes the terms of the proposed consent order. The Company is not aware of specific concerns that the Florida Office has with the New Success Life Program because it has received no administrative complaint from the Florida Office nor is it aware of any recent market conduct examination that the Florida Office has conducted relative to the program. The Company intends to vigorously oppose the proposed consent order. The Company is currently engaged in discussions with the Florida Office in an effort to settle the dispute concerning the proposed order. If the Company is unable to reach a satisfactory resolution with the Florida Office with respect to the terms of the proposed consent order and the Florida Office issues a similar order, the Company intends to take action necessary to protect its rights and interests, including requesting a hearing before an administrative law judge to oppose the order. The Company believes any potential liability would be limited to the assets of Southern Security Life, which are approximately $3,847,000.

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

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of fixed maturity securities at December 31, 2006, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because certain borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

The Company’s realized gains and losses from investments and other assets are summarized as follows:

					2006			2005				2004
Fixed maturity securities held
	to maturity:
		Gross realized gains	$			1,282	$ 2,593			$36,933

Other assets			825,205			15,563		66,907
	Total	$		891,304	$74,246		$74,431

Generally gains and losses from held to maturity securities are a result of early calls and related amortization of premiums or discounts.

Mortgage loans consist of first and second mortgages. The mortgage loans bear interest at rates ranging from 6% to 22.25%, 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, 2006, the Company has 48% of its mortgage loans from borrowers located in the state of Utah. The mortgage loans on real estate balances on the consolidated balance sheet are reflected net of an allowance for loan losses of $1,026,576 and $562,909 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

There were no investments, aggregated by issuer, in excess of 10% of shareholders’ equity (before net unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities) at December 31, 2006, other than investments issued or guaranteed by the United States Government.

The Company has line of credit agreements with a bank for $2,500,000, of which $250,000 and $600,000 were outstanding at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and were included in other collateralized bank loans payable. The lines of credit are for general operating purposes and bear interest at the bank’s prime rate and must be repaid every 30 days.

The Company considers its interest rate swap instruments (swaps) effective cash flow hedges against the variable interest rates of certain bank loans. The swaps expire on the maturity dates of the bank loans they hedge. In the event a 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 a hedged bank loan, any realized or unrealized gain or loss from the hedging swap would be recognized in income coincident with the extinguishment.

Information regarding the swaps is as follows as of December 31, 2006:

Weighted average variable interest rate of
	the hedged bank loans (prime less .5%)		7.75%
Weighted average fixed interest rate of the swaps			6.11%
Market value of the swaps- potential unrealized
	gain position	$133,080

The respective market values of the swaps are derived from proprietary models of the financial institution with whom the Company purchased the swaps and from whom the Company obtained the hedged bank loans.

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

The Company has, historically, presented its perpetual care trusts, associated with its pre-need funeral and cemetery activities, on a net basis in the consolidated financial statements. In accordance with its adoption of FIN 46R, the assets and liabilities of the perpetual care trusts have been presented on a gross basis. Although FIN 46R requires the consolidation of the merchandise and service trusts, it does not change the legal relationships among the trusts, the Company and its customers. The customers are the legal beneficiaries of these merchandise and service trusts, and therefore, their interest in these trusts has been represented as non-controlling interest in perpetual care trusts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The components of the non-controlling interests in perpetual care trusts are as follows:

			December 31
		2006			2005
Trust investments, at market value	$1,306,984			$1,152,493

Other					(187,337 )			(31,221 )
Non-controlling interest			$2,278,510			$2,173,250

The Company has established and maintains certain restricted trust investments to provide for future merchandise and service obligations incurred in connection with its pre-need sales. Such amounts are reported as pre-need funeral and cemetery trust investments of cemeteries and mortuaries in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

10) Income Taxes (Continued)

A portion of the life insurance income earned prior to 1984 was not subject to current taxation but was accumulated for tax purposes, in a “policyholders’ surplus account.” Under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, the policyholders’ surplus account was frozen at its December 31, 1983 balance and will be taxed generally only when distributed. Congress passed changes to the tax code, which exempts distributions from tax if such distributions are made in the years 2005 through 2007. The Company took advantage of these changes and made distributions in 2006 of its policyholders surplus account ($4,152,318).

The Company has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $1,434,000, as of December 31, 2006. These carry forward amounts begin expiring in ten years and range up to 20 years.

11)

Reinsurance, Commitments and Contingencies

The Company follows the procedure of reinsuring risks in excess of a specified limit, which ranged from $30,000 to $75,000 during the years 2006 and 2005. 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 $1,388,552,000 (unaudited) at December 31, 2006 and $1,964,847,00 (unaudited) at December 31, 2005.

Company paid a ceding commission to Guaranty of $3,400,000 and will receive from Guaranty a risk charge of 1% of the outstanding Coinsurance per calendar quarter. Guaranty put into a bank trust investment grade bonds, which equal the outstanding liabilities assumed by the Company. The Company is named as a beneficiary of the trust and the terms of the trust are such that Guaranty will maintain investment grade bonds in the trust to equal the outstanding liabilities assumed by the Company. Under the CoModco Agreement the Coinsurance and the increase in reserves are equal. Under U. S. GAAP the Coinsurance and the reserve increases are netted since these are non-cash items, and the Company expects to recapture the Coinsurance from future profits of the reinsured business. Guaranty has the right to recapture the business at any time after December 31, 2004 upon 90 days advance notice. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the outstanding Coinsurance amount was $-0- and $-0-, respectively. The Company recorded as income the risk charge for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, of $-0- and $10,000, respectively. In the event that the Company believes it will not recover the Coinsurance it will have to record as an expense and a future liability for the amount of such impairment. Effective January 1, 2005, Guaranty recaptured the reinsurance under this agreement and the agreement was cancelled between the Company and Guaranty. The recapture did not result in recognition of a gain or loss in the consolidated financial statements.

The City of Phoenix (in Arizona) began condemnation proceedings during 2004 on the property where the Camelback Funeral Home was located for purposes of constructing a light rail facility. The city placed $1,200,000 in escrow to pay the Company for the property that was condemned. The carrying amount on the Company’s financial statements for the land and building of the Camelback Funeral Home at December 31, 2005 was $678,889. The Company has had an independent appraisal and negotiated a higher sales price with the city. In July 2006, the Company settled with the City of Phoenix for a sales price of $1,440,000. As a result of the sale, the Company recognized a gain of $760,231 during the third quarter of 2006. The first payment of $1,200,000 was made by the City of Phoenix in August 2006 with the remaining amount to be received within 30 days of the city council’s approval of the sales price.

Reinsurance, Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

At December 31, 2006, the Company was contingently liable under a standby letter of credit aggregating $101,520, 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.

The Company is self insured for certain casualty insurance and health benefit 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 coverages. 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 and unreported claims for incidents incurred but not reported as of the balance sheet date. At December 31, 2006, $100,324 of reserves was established related to such insurance programs versus $163,269 at December 31, 2005.

The Company received a letter dated November 29, 2004 on behalf of Roger Gornichec, who the Company recognizes as having been an independent contractor. Gornichec had concluded his services as an agent selling insurance in the spring of 2003 and his license to sell cemetery plots was not renewed in the summer of 2004. Gornichec asserted that he was an employee contrary to the Company’s position.

The claims made in the letter on behalf of Gornichec included but were not limited to, wrongful termination in violation of public policy, misrepresentation, age discrimination, whistle-blower retaliation, interference with economic advantage, breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and infliction of emotional distress. Gornichec also claimed he was owed a certain amount from a retirement plan. The letter from Gornichec’s attorney proposed a settlement in the amount of $420,000. Based on its investigation, the Company believes Gornichec was an independent contractor rather than an employee, and there was no justification for the claims and the settlement amount sought. The Company reached a settlement with Gornichec, which resulted in the Company paying $27,000 to Gornichec during the second quarter of 2006.

The Company received a letter dated November 9, 2004 on behalf of Charles Hood, who worked at Singing Hills Memorial Park in El Cajon, California. Hood was hired in early 2003 as a groundskeeper with his work concluding on October 30, 2003. Hood claims he wrote a letter to the Company expressing his concerns regarding the operation of the cemetery, and that the next day he was terminated, even though he recognizes his relationship was as an at-will employee. Hood’s claims against the Company also include, but are not limited to, violation of labor laws, whistleblower retaliation and infliction of emotional distress. The letter proposed a settlement in the amount of $275,000.

On November 23, 2005, Hood filed a complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County for San Diego (Case No. GIE 028978) against Singing Hills Memorial Park and California Memorial Estates, Inc, wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. The claims in the complaint include wrongful termination in violation of public policy, retaliation in violation of public policy, race discrimination in violation of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, retaliation in violation of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, intentional infliction of emotional distress, plus punitive damages, attorney’s fees and costs of the lawsuit. There are no specific amounts requested in the complaint, but damages are in an amount to be proven at a jury trial. The Company contends that Hood voluntarily quit and was not terminated. The trial was set for November 2006. The Company reached a settlement with Hood, which resulted in the Company paying $30,000 to Hood, during the third quarter of 2006.

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’s contributions for 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $125,558, $141,710, and $123,249, respectively.

Stock Compensation Plans

In 1987, the Company adopted the 1987 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the 1987 Plan). The 1987 Plan provides that shares of the Class A Common Stock of the Company may be optioned to certain officers and key employees of the Company. The 1987 Plan establishes a Stock Option Plan Committee which selects the employees to whom the options will be granted and determines the price of the stock. The 1987 Plan establishes the minimum purchase price of the stock at an amount which is not less than 100% of the fair market value of the stock (110% for employees owning more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock).

The 1987 Plan provides that if additional shares of Class A Common Stock are issued pursuant to a stock split or a stock dividend, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock then covered by each outstanding option granted hereunder shall be increased proportionately with no increase in the total purchase price of the shares then covered, and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock reserved for the purpose of the 1987 Plan shall be increased by the same proportion.

In the event that the shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company from time to time issued and outstanding are reduced by a combination of shares, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock then covered by each outstanding option granted hereunder shall be reduced proportionately with no reduction in the total price of the shares then so covered, and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock reserved for the purposes of the 1987 Plan shall be reduced by the same proportion.

Stock Compensation Plans (Continued)

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

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

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

On November 7, 1996, the Company amended the Plan as follows: (i) to increase the number of shares of Class A Common Stock reserved for issuance under the plan from 300,000 Class A shares to 600,000 Class A shares; and (ii) to provide that the stock subject to options, awards and purchases may include Class C common stock.

On October 14, 1999, the Company amended the 1993 Plan to increase the number of shares of Class A Common Stock reserved for issuance under the plan from 600,000 Class A shares to 1,046,126 Class A shares. The Plan had a term of ten years and was terminated in 2003 and options granted thereunder are non-transferable.

The primary purposes of the 2000 Plan are to enhance the Company’s ability to attract and retain well-qualified persons for service as directors and to provide incentives to such directors to continue their association with the Company.

The 2000 Plan provides that if the shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares or if the Company shall issue any shares of Common Stock as a stock dividend on its outstanding Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the exercise of options shall be increased or decreased proportionately, and appropriate adjustments shall be made in the purchase price per share to reflect such subdivisions, combination or stock dividend.

The 2000 Plan terminated in 2006 and options granted are non-transferable. Options granted and outstanding under the 2000 Plan include Stock Appreciation Rights which permit the holder of the option to elect to receive cash, amounting to the difference between the option price and the fair market value of the stock at the time of the exercise, or a lesser amount of stock without payment, upon exercise of the option.

On July 11, 2003, the Company adopted the Security National Financial Corporation 2003 Stock Option 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 thereunder. On December 7, 2006, the Board of Directors approved, subject to shareholder authorization, 500,000 shares of Class A common stock for issuance under the 2003 Plan. 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.

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. No options may be exercised for a term of more than ten years from the date of the grant. Options intended as incentive stock options may be issued only to employees, and must meet certain conditions imposed by the code, including a requirement that the option exercise price be no less than the fair market value of the option shares on the date of grant. The 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.

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 thereunder and adjusted for stock dividends if any. The Director Plan provides that each member of the Company’s Board of Directors who is not an employee or paid consultant of the Company automatically is eligible to receive options to purchase the Company’s Class A Common Stock under the Director Plan.

Effective as of 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 their entirety on the first anniversary date of the grant. The primary purposes of the Director Plan are to enhance the Company’s ability to attract and retain well-qualified persons for service as directors and to provide incentives to such directors to continue their association with the Company.

In the event of a merger of the Company with or into another company, or a consolidation, acquisition of stock or assets or other change in control transaction involving the Company, each option becomes exercisable in full, unless such option is assumed by the successor corporation. In the event the transaction is not approved by a majority of the “Continuing Directors” (as defined in the Director Plan), each option becomes fully vested and exercisable in full immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction, whether or not assumed by the successor corporation.

15) Statutory Reserves

Generally, the net assets of the life insurance subsidiaries available for transfer to the Company are limited to the amounts that the life insurance subsidiaries net assets, as determined in accordance with statutory accounting practices, which were $19,153,896 at December 31, 2006, exceed minimum statutory capital requirements; however, payments of such amounts as dividends are subject to approval by regulatory authorities.

The Utah, Louisiana and Arkansas Insurance Departments impose minimum risk-based capital requirements, that were developed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, (“NAIC”) on insurance enterprises. The formulas for determining the risk-based capital (“RBC”) specify various factors that are applied to financial balances or various levels of activity based on the perceived degree of risk. Regulatory compliance is determined by a ratio (the “Ratio”) of the enterprise’s regulatory total adjusted capital, as defined by the NAIC, to its authorized control level, as defined by the NAIC. Enterprises below specific trigger points or ratios are classified within certain levels, each of which requires specified corrective action. The life insurance subsidiaries have a combined weighted Ratio that is greater than 418% of the first level of regulatory action.

16) Business Segment Information

Description of Products and Services by Segment

The Company has three reportable business segments: life insurance, cemetery and mortuary, and mortgage loans. The Company’s life insurance segment consists of life insurance premiums and operating expenses from the sale of insurance products sold by the Company’s independent agency force and net investment income derived from investing policyholder and segment surplus funds. The Company’s cemetery and mortuary segment consists of revenues and operating expenses from the sale of 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.

17)	Related Party Transactions

On December 19, 2001, the Parent Company entered into an option agreement with Monument Title, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“Monument Title”), in which the Parent Company made available a $100,000 line of credit to Monument Title at an interest rate of 8% per annum. The line of credit was secured by the assets of Monument Title. From December 28, 2001 to June 14, 2002, the Company, under direction of the Parent Company, advanced Monument Title a total of $77,953 under the line of credit. The Company had the right, under the option agreement, for a period of five years from the date thereof, to acquire 100% of the outstanding common shares of Monument Title for the sum of $10.

On November 2, 2004 the Company entered into an Agreement to Repay Indebtedness and Convey Option with Monument Title and its principal owner. Under the terms of the agreement, Monument Title agreed to pay the Company a total of $94,177, representing the total of $77,953 that the Company advanced to Monument Title under the line of credit, plus interest thereon, within seven days from the date of the agreement. Monument Title paid $94,177 to the Company pursuant to the agreement. In addition, the Company agreed to release an interest to acquire 100% of the outstanding common shares of Monument Title, in consideration for a payment of an additional $94,177. Under the agreement, Monument Title was to pay the additional $94,177 to the Company in minimum payments of $500 per month for the first twelve months following the date of the agreement, with additional payments of $1,000 per month for the second twelve months following the date of the agreement.

Pursuant to this agreement, the Company received payments totaling $7,000 in 2005 and then received payments totaling $87,177 in 2006. Upon receipt of the final payment under the agreement, the Company released all of its interest to Monument Title.

18) Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair values of investments in fixed maturity and equity securities along with methods used to estimate such values are disclosed in Note 3. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the “fair value” disclosures related to other significant financial instruments:

Cash, Receivables, Short-term Investments, and Restricted Assets of the Cemeteries and Mortuaries: The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet for these financial instruments approximate their fair values.

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

Investment Contracts: The fair values for the Company’s liabilities under investment-type insurance contracts are estimated based on the contracts’ cash surrender values.

The 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.

20)	Derivative Loan Commitments

During 2005, the Company’s mortgage banking activities implemented new practices relating to mortgage loan commitments, including interest rate lock commitments and forward commitments to sell loans to third-party investors. The Company also implemented a hedging strategy for these transactions. A mortgage loan commitment binds the Company to lend funds to a qualified borrower at a specified interest rate and within a specified period of time, generally up to 30 days after inception of the rate lock. Mortgage loan commitments are derivatives under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (“SFAS 133”), Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities , as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149 (“SFAS 149”), Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and must be 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.

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 observed 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. Once a loan is closed, it is classified as a loan receivable-sold to investors.

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

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

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

SecurityNational Mortgage Company (“SNMC”) is a mortgage lender incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah. SNMC is approved and regulated by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), a department of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), to originate mortgage loans that qualify for government insurance in the event of default by the borrower. SNMC obtains loans primarily from independent brokers and correspondents. SNMC funds the loans from internal cash flows and lines of credit from financial institutions, including the Company’s insurance subsidiaries. SNMC receives fees from the borrowers and other secondary fees from third party investors who purchased the loans from SNMC. SNMC pays the brokers and correspondents a commission for loans that are brokered through SNMC.

As of December 31, 2006, SNMC had 28 branches in thirteen states. SNMC opened one office in 2004 in Cape Coral, Florida. In 2005, SNMC opened offices in Kailua, Hawaii; Bend, Oregon; Midvale, Utah; and Richmond, Virginia. In 2006, SNMC opened offices in San Jose, California; Shallotte, North Carolina; Irvine, California; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Overland Park, Kansas and Beaverton, Oregon. SNMC originated and sold 14,427 loans ($2,461,000,000 loan amount), 12,786 loans ($2,085,000,000 loan amount), and 11,567 loans ($1,781,000,000 loan amount) in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

On December 17, 1998, the Company purchased all of the outstanding common shares of SSLIC Holding Company, formerly Consolidare Enterprises, Inc., and Insuradyne Corporation for a total cost of $12,248,194. At the time the transaction was completed, Consolidare owned 57.4% of the outstanding shares of Southern Security Life. Following the acquisition of Consolidare, Security National Life and its wholly owned subsidiary, SSLIC Holding Company, increased their ownership of the outstanding shares of Southern Security Life through the purchase of shares traded on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market and stock purchase transactions with then current stockholders of Southern Security Life. As of December 31, 2004, Security National Life and SSLIC Holding Company held 76.7% of the outstanding common shares of Southern Security Life.

On January 1, 2005, Security National Life and SSLIC Holding Company completed a merger transaction with Southern Security Life whereby SSLIC Holding Company was merged with Southern Security Life, which resulted in Southern Security Life becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Security National Life and the unaffiliated stockholders of Southern Security Life becoming entitled to receive an aggregate of $1,884,733 for their shares.

On December 31, 2005, all of the remaining insurance business of Southern Security Life consisting of $48,528,000 in assets and liabilities was transferred to Security National Life by a reinsurance agreement, except for $3,500,000 in capital and surplus required to be maintained under Florida law. Also on December 31, 2005, Southern Security Life paid a $7,181,000 dividend to Security National Life.

On December 29, 2006, Southern Security Life was sold in a stock sales transaction. At the time of the sale, Southern Security Life’s assets consisted of a corporate charter, licenses, and the required capital and surplus. Under the terms of the transaction, Security National Life received purchase consideration consisting of $400,000 plus an amount equal to Southern Security Life’s capital and surplus as of December 31, 2006. The sale is conditioned upon the subsequent approval of the transaction by the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation and, if such approval is not obtained, Southern Security Life will be liquidated.

On December 23, 2002, the Company completed an asset purchase transaction with Acadian Life Insurance Company, a Louisiana domiciled life insurance company, in which it acquired from Acadian $75,000,000 in assets and $75,000,000 in insurance reserves through its wholly owned subsidiary, Security National Life, a Utah domiciled life insurance company. The acquired assets consist primarily of approximately 275,000 funeral insurance policies in force in the state of Mississippi. The assets were originally acquired by Acadian from Gulf National Life Insurance Company on June 6, 2001, consisting of all the insurance policies of Gulf National Life Insurance Company in force and in effect on June 1, 2001.

On March 16, 2004, Security National Life purchased all of the outstanding common shares of Paramount Security Life Insurance Company, now known as Security National Life of Louisiana, a Louisiana domiciled insurance company located in Shreveport, Louisiana. As of December 31, 2003, Security National Life of Louisiana had 9,383 policies in force and 29 agents. There were no material changes in the number of policies in force or the number of agents between December 31, 2003 and March 16, 2004. The purchase consideration was $4,398,000 and the transaction was effective January 26, 2004. Security National Life of Louisiana is licensed in the State of Louisiana where it is permitted to appoint agents who do not have a full life insurance license.

These agents are limited to selling small life insurance policies in the final expense market. The Company believes that with this license it will be able to expand its operations in Louisiana. The Company is servicing Security National Life of Louisiana policyholders out of its Jackson, Mississippi office and has closed its Shreveport office.

On December 29, 2005, Security National Life and Southern Security Life purchased all of the outstanding common shares of Memorial Insurance Company of America, an Arkansas domiciled insurance company located in Blytheville, Arkansas. As of December 31, 2005, Memorial Insurance Company had 116,116 policies in force and approximately 50 agents. The purchase consideration was $13,500,000.

Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a brief summary of our significant accounting policies and a review of our most critical accounting estimates. Please also refer to Note 1 of our 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.

SECURITY NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

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 or 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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 66, “Accounting for the Sales of Real Estate” (SFAS No. 66). Under SFAS 66, 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 SFAS 66 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.

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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 60 “Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises” (FAS No. 60). 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.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Mortgage Operations

Mortgage fee income is generated through the origination and refinancing of mortgage loans and is realized in accordance with SFAS No. 140.

The majority of loans originated are sold to third party investors. The amounts sold to investors are shown on the balance sheet as due from sale of loans, and are shown on the basis of the amount of 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 Available for Sale

Securities available-for-sale are carried at 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.

The Company is required to exercise judgment to determine when a decline in the value of a security is other than temporary. 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, and 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.

Cost of Insurance Acquired

Cost of insurance 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 cost of insurance acquired.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

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 issues 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.

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

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 health benefit 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 coverages. 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 and unreported claims for incidents incurred but not reported as of the balance sheet date.

Results of Operations

2006 Compared to 2005

Total revenues increased by $22,580,000, or 17.4%, from $129,950,000 for fiscal year 2005 to $152,530,000 for fiscal year 2006. Contributing to this increase in total revenues was a $13,254,000 increase in mortgage fee income, a $3,606,000 increase in insurance premium and other considerations, a $3,859,000 increase in net investment income, a $1,284,000 increase in mortuary and cemetery sales, and an $817,000 increase in realized gains on investments and other assets. This increase was partially offset by a $240,000 decrease in other revenues.

Insurance premiums and other considerations increased by $3,606,000, from $27,170,000 in 2005 to $30,776,000 in 2006. This increase was primarily due to the additional insurance premiums that were realized on new insurance sales and from the acquisition of Memorial Insurance Company on December 29, 2005.

Net investment income increased by $3,859,000, from $19,387,000 in 2005 to $23,246,000 in 2006. This increase was primarily attributable to additional interest income from increased long-term bond and mortgage purchases and additional investment income from the assets received as a result of the acquisition of Memorial Insurance Company.

SECURITY NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Net mortuary and cemetery sales increased by $1,284,000, from $10,839,000 in 2005 to $12,123,000 in 2006. This was due to increased at-need sales in the cemetery and mortuary operations and increased pre-need land sales in cemetery operations.

Other revenues decreased by $240,000, from $621,000 in 2005 to $381,000 in 2006. Other revenues decreased in 2006 due to a reduction in other deposit funds and reinsurance risk charges.

Realized gains on investments and other assets increased by $817,000, from $74,000 in 2005 to $891,000 in 2006. This increase was primarily due to a gain of $760,000 from the condemnation of the Camelback Funeral Home by the City of Phoenix to construct a light rail facility.

Mortgage fee income increased by $13,254,000, from $71,859,000 in 2005 to $85,113,000 in 2006. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of loan originations during 2006 due to the opening of additional mortgage offices in Irvine and Los Gatos, California; Overland Park, Kansas; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Shallotte, North Carolina; and Beaverton, Oregon, and increased production in existing mortgage offices, which resulted in financing a greater number of mortgage loans.

Total benefits and expenses were $145,635,000 for 2006, which constituted 95.5% of the Company’s total revenues, as compared to $125,222,000, or 96.4% of the Company’s total revenues for 2005.

Death benefits, surrenders and other policy benefits, and increase in future policy benefits increased by $2,842,000 from $24,477,000 in 2005 to $27,319,000 in 2006. This net increase was primarily due to increased business and to the expected increase in reserves for policyholder benefits and death claims.

Amortization of deferred policy and pre-need acquisition costs and cost of insurance acquired increased by $1,094,000 from $3,031,000 in 2005 to $4,125,000 in 2006. This increase was primarily due to increased business on a slight increase in the lapse rate of 8.4% in 2006 from 7.9% in 2005.

General and administrative expenses increased by $15,038,000, from $90,690,000 in 2005 to $105,728,000 in 2006. Contributing to this increase was a $9,693,000 increase in commission expenses, from $53,807,000 in 2005 to $63,500,000 in 2006 due to a greater number of mortgage loan originations made by SecurityNational Mortgage Company during 2006. Salaries increased by $2,231,000 from $15,717,000 in 2005 to $17,948,000 in 2006, primarily due to merit increases in the salaries of existing employees and an increase in the number of employees necessitated as the result of the Company’s expanding business operations. Other expenses increased by $3,114,000, from $21,166,000 in 2005 to $24,280,000 in 2006. The increase in other expenses primarily resulted from loan costs at SecurityNational Mortgage Company during 2006 due to a greater number of loan originations and additional expenses from the operations of Memorial Insurance Company, which the Company purchased on December 29, 2005.

Interest expense increased by $1,220,000, from $4,921,000 in 2005 to $6,141,000 in 2006. This increase was primarily due to increased warehouse lines of credit required for a greater number of warehoused mortgage loans by SecurityNational Mortgage Company.

Cost of goods and services sold of the mortuaries and cemeteries increased by $219,000, from $2,103,000 in 2005 to $2,322,000 in 2006. This increase was primarily due to increased cemetery and mortuary sales.

2005 Compared to 2004

Total revenues increased by $12,752,000, or 10.9%, from $117,198,000 for fiscal year 2004 to $129,950,000 for fiscal year 2005. Contributing to this increase in total revenues was a $9,169,000 increase in mortgage fee income, a $1,191,000 increase in insurance premium and other considerations, and a $3,448,000 increase in net investment income. This increase was partially offset by an $822,000 decrease in mortuary and cemetery sales, and a $234,000 decrease in other revenues.

Insurance premiums and other considerations increased by $1,191,000, from $25,979,000 in 2004 to $27,170,000 in 2005. This increase was primarily due to the additional insurance premiums that were realized on new insurance sales.

Net investment income increased by $3,448,000, from $15,939,000 in 2004 to $19,387,000 in 2005. This increase was primarily attributable to additional borrower interest income from increased long-term bond purchases and mortgage loans over the comparable period in 2005.

Net mortuary and cemetery sales decreased by $822,000, from $11,661,000 in 2004 to $10,839,000 in 2005. This reduction in mortuary sales was primarily due to a reduction in pre-need property sales and the loss of sales from the Camelback Funeral Home as a result of the City of Phoenix having commenced condemnation proceedings to construct a light rail facility on the funeral home property.

Other revenues decreased by $234,000, from $855,000 in 2004 to $621,000 in 2005. Other revenue decreased in 2005 due in part to a one-time recovery of funds in 2004 from a member of management who made restitution of $111,000 by transferring to the Company shares of the Company’s common stock that the employee owned at the time he was terminated.

Mortgage fee income increased by $9,169,000, from $62,690,000 in 2004 to $71,859,000 in 2005. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of loan originations during 2005 due to the opening of new offices and increased production from existing offices, which resulted in financing a greater number of mortgage loans.

Total benefits and expenses were $125,222,000 for 2005, which constituted 96.4% of the Company’s total revenues, as compared to $114,539,000, or 97.7% of the Company’s total revenues for 2004.

During 2005, there was a net increase of $1,115,000 in death benefits, surrenders and other policy benefits, and increase in future policy benefits from $23,362,000 in 2004 to $24,477,000 in 2005. This net increase was primarily the result of an increase in reserves for policyholders.

Amortization of deferred policy and pre-need acquisition costs and cost of insurance acquired decreased by $1,571,000 from $4,602,000 in 2004 to $3,031,000 in 2005. This decrease was primarily due to recognition of improvements in persistency.

General and administrative expenses increased by $8,593,000, from $82,097,000 in 2004 to $90,690,000 in 2005. Contributing to this increase was a $5,117,000 increase in commission expenses, from $48,690,000 in 2004 to $53,807,000 in 2005 due to higher mortgage loan originations made by SecurityNational Mortgage Company during 2005. Salaries increased by $1,325,000 from $14,392,000 in 2004 to $15,717,000 in 2005, primarily due to merit increases in the salaries of existing employees and an increase in the number of employees. Other expenses increased by $2,151,000, from $19,015,000 in 2004 to $21,166,000 in 2005. The increase in other expenses primarily resulted from loan costs at SecurityNational Mortgage Company during 2005 due to a greater number of loan originations.

Interest expense increased by $2,747,000, from $2,174,000 in 2004 to $4,921,000 in 2005. This increase was primarily due to the increased use of warehouse lines of credit required for the funding of mortgage loans by SecurityNational Mortgage Company during 2005.

Cost of goods and services sold of the mortuaries and cemeteries decreased by $201,000, from $2,304,000 in 2004 to $2,103,000 in 2005. This reduction in the cost of goods and services sold of the mortuaries and cemeteries was due to the reduced costs of at-need merchandise at the Company’s mortuaries and cemeteries and the loss of sales from the Camelback Funeral Home as a result of the City of Phoenix having commenced condemnation proceedings for purposes of constructing a light rail facility on the funeral home property.

Risks

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

Legal/Regulatory Risk - the risk that changes in the legal or regulatory environment in which the Company operates will create additional expenses and/or risks not anticipated by the Company in developing and pricing its products. That is, regulatory initiatives designed to reduce insurer profits, new legal theories or insurance company insolvencies through guaranty fund assessments may create costs for the insurer beyond those recorded in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, changes in tax law with respect to mortgage interest deductions or other public policy or legislative changes may affect the Company’s mortgage sales. Also, the Company may be subject to further regulations in the cemetery/mortuary business. The Company mitigates 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.

Credit Risk - the risk that issuers of securities owned by the Company, mortgagors of mortgage loans on real estate and obligors on construction loans, will default or that other parties, including reinsurers and holders of cemetery/ mortuary contracts which owe the Company money, will not pay. The Company minimizes these risks by adhering to a conservative investment strategy, by maintaining sound reinsurance and credit and collection policies and by providing for any amounts deemed uncollectible.

Interest Rate Risk - the risk that interest rates will change which may cause a decrease in the value of the Company’s investments or impair the ability of the Company to market its mortgage and cemetery/mortuary products. This change in rates may cause certain interest-sensitive products to become uncompetitive or may cause disintermediation. The Company mitigates this risk by charging fees for non-conformance with certain policy provisions, by offering products that transfer this risk to the purchaser, and/or by attempting to match the maturity schedule of its assets with the expected payouts of its liabilities. To the extent that liabilities come due more quickly than assets mature, the Company might have to borrow funds or sell assets prior to maturity and potentially recognize a loss on the sale.

SECURITY NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Mortality/Morbidity Risk - the risk that the Company’s actuarial assumptions may differ from actual mortality/morbidity experience may cause the Company’s products to be underpriced, may cause the Company to liquidate insurance or other claims earlier than anticipated and other potentially adverse consequences to the business. The Company minimizes this risk through sound underwriting practices, asset/liability duration matching, and sound actuarial practices.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The estimates susceptible to significant change are those used in determining the liability for future policy benefits and claims, those used in determining valuation allowances for mortgage loans on real estate, construction loans and other receivables, and those used in determining the estimated future costs for pre-need sales. Although some variability is inherent in these estimates, management believes the amounts provided are adequate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s life insurance subsidiaries and cemetery and mortuary subsidiaries realize cash flow from premiums, contract payments and sales on personal services rendered for cemetery and mortuary business, from interest and dividends on invested assets, and from the proceeds from the maturity of held-to-maturity investments or sale of other investments. The mortgage subsidiary realizes cash flow from fees generated by originating and refinancing mortgage loans and interest earned on mortgages sold to investors. The Company considers these sources of cash flow to be adequate to fund future policyholder and cemetery and mortuary liabilities, which generally are long-term, and adequate to pay current policyholder claims, annuity payments, expenses on the issuance of new policies, the maintenance of existing policies, debt service, and to meet operating expenses.

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

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

The Company’s investment policy is to invest predominantly in fixed maturity securities, mortgage loans, and the 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 $101,735,000 as of December 31, 2006 compared to $96,378,000 as of December 31, 2005. This represents 47% of the total investments in 2006 and 2005. Generally, all bonds owned by the life insurance subsidiaries are rated by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). Under this rating system, there are six categories used for rating bonds. At December 31, 2006, 2.3% (or $2,402,000) and at December 31, 2005, 3.5% (or $3,431,000) of the Company’s total bond investments were invested in bonds in rating categories three through six which are considered non-investment grade.

If market conditions were to cause interest rates to change, the market value of the fixed income portfolio (of approximately $188,002,000) 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):

(in thousands)

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

The Company is subject to risk based capital guidelines established by statutory regulators requiring minimum capital levels based on the perceived risk of assets, liabilities, disintermediation, and business risk. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the life subsidiaries exceeded the regulatory criteria.

The Company’s total capitalization of stockholders’ equity and bank debt and notes payable was $60,641,000 and $55,971,000 as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Stockholders’ equity as a percent of total capitalization was 87% and 82% as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Lapse rates measure the amount of insurance terminated during a particular period. The Company’s lapse rate for life insurance in 2006 was 8.4%, as compared to a rate of 7.9% in 2005.

On December 17, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of SSLIC Holding Company formerly Consolidare Enterprises, Inc., a Florida corporation pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, which the Company entered into on April 17, 1998, with SSLIC Holding Company and certain shareholders of SSLIC Holding Company for the purchase of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of SSLIC Holding Company. Prior to completion of the acquisition, SSLIC Holding Company owned 57.4% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Southern Security Life. The Company also acquired all of the outstanding shares of stock of Insuradyne Corp., a Florida corporation (“Insuradyne”).

As consideration for the purchase of the shares of SSLIC Holding Company, the Company paid to the stockholders of Consolidare at closing an aggregate of $12,248,194. In order to pay the purchase consideration, the Company obtained $6,250,000 from bank financing, with the balance of $5,998,194 obtained from funds then currently held by the Company. In addition to the purchase consideration, the Company caused Southern Security Life to pay, on the closing date, $1,050,000 to George Pihakis, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Southern Security Life prior to closing, as a lump sum settlement of the executive compensation agreement between Southern Security Life and Mr. Pihakis.

In connection with the acquiring of SSLIC Holding Company, the Company entered into an Administrative Services Agreement dated December 17, 1998 with Southern Security Life. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company agreed to provide Southern Security Life with certain defined administrative and financial services, including accounting services, financial reports and statements, actuarial, policyholder services, underwriting, data processing, legal, building management, marketing advisory services and investment services. In consideration for the services to be provided by the Company, Southern Security Life will pay the Company an administrative services fee of $250,000 per month, or $3,000,000 on an annual basis, which may be increased, beginning on January 1, 2001, to reflect increases in the Consumer Price Index over the index amount as of January 1, 2000. However, such fee is to be reduced to zero for so long as the capital and surplus of Southern Security Life is less than or equal to $6,000,000, unless Southern Security Life and the Company otherwise agree in writing and such agreement is approved by the Florida Department of Insurance. The Company has not made any increases in the amount of the Administrative Services Fee to reflect increases in the Consumer Price Index.

The Administrative Services Agreement remained in effect for an initial term expiring on December 16, 2003. The term of the agreement was automatically extended for additional one-year terms expiring December 16, 2004, 2005 and 2006. The agreement is automatically extended for additional one-year terms unless either the Company or Southern Security Life delivers a written notice on or before September 30 of any year stating to the other a desire not to extend the term of the agreement.

On December 31, 2005, all of the remaining insurance business of Southern Security Life was transferred to Security National Life by a reinsurance agreement, except for the capital and surplus required to be maintained under Florida law and, as a result, Security National Life assumed full responsibility for Southern Security Life's obligations under the Administrative Services Agreement. The obligations assumed by Security National Life include payment of the monthly administrative services fee to the Company. Neither the Company nor Security National Life, which assumed Southern Security Life's rights and obligations under the agreement, provided written notice prior to September 30, 2006 stating a desire not to extend the term of the agreement. Consequently, the agreement has been extended for an additional one-year term ending December 31, 2007.

On January 1, 2005, Security National Life and SSLIC Holding Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Security National Life, completed a merger transaction with Southern Security Life. Under the terms of the merger and pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated August 25, 2004, including the amendment thereto dated December 27, 2004, SSLIC Holding Company was merged with and into Southern Security Life, which resulted in (i) Southern Security Life becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Security National Life, and (ii) the unaffiliated stockholders of Southern Security Life, holding an aggregate of 490,816 shares of common stock, becoming entitled to receive $3.84 in cash for each issued and outstanding share of their common stock of Southern Security Life, or an aggregate of $1,884,733.

As a result of the merger, the separate existence of SSLIC Holding Company ceased as Southern Security Life became the surviving corporation of the merger. Southern Security Life continues to be governed by the laws of the State of Florida, and its separate corporate existence continues unaffected by the merger. In addition, as a result of the merger, Security National Life owns all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Southern Security Life. The Company, through its affiliates, Security National Life and SSLIC Holding Company, owned 76.7% of the Company’s outstanding common shares prior to the merger.

The purpose of the merger was to terminate the registration of the common stock of Southern Security Life under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (by reducing the number of its stockholders of record to fewer than 300 stockholders) and the Nasdaq listing of the common stock, reduce expenses associated with such registration and listing, and provide the stockholders an opportunity to sell their shares in an illiquid trading market without incurring brokerage commissions. As a result of becoming a non-reporting company, Southern Security Life is no longer required to file periodic reports with the SEC, including among other things, annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and is no longer subject to the SEC’s proxy rules. In addition, its common stock is no longer eligible for trading on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.

On December 23, 2002, the Company completed an asset purchase transaction through its wholly owned subsidiary, Security National Life with Acadian from which it acquired $75,000,000 in assets and $75,000,000 in insurance reserves. The acquired assets consist primarily of approximately 275,000 funeral insurance policies in force in the state of Mississippi. The assets were originally acquired by Acadian from Gulf National Life Insurance Company on June 6, 2001, which, at that time, consisted of all of the insurance policies of Gulf National Life Insurance Company in force and in effect on June 1, 2001 (the “Reinsured Business”).

As a part of the transaction, Security National Life entered into a coinsurance agreement with Acadian, in which Security National Life agreed to reinsure all the liabilities related to policies held by Mississippi policyholders. The terms included the payment of all legal liabilities, obligations, claims and commissions of the acquired policies. The effective date of the coinsurance agreement was September 30, 2002, following Acadian’s recapture of the insurance in force from its reinsurer Scottish Re (U.S.) Inc. on September 30, 2002.

The coinsurance agreement further provides that Acadian is required to pay Security National Life an initial coinsurance premium in cash or assets acceptable to Security National Life in an amount equal to the full coinsurance reserves, not including the incurred but not reported (IBNR) reserve as of the effective date. The ceding commission to be paid by Security National Life to Acadian for the reinsured policies is to be the recapture amount to be paid by Acadian to Scottish Re (U.S.), Inc., which was approximately $10,000,000. After the initial coinsurance premium, the coinsurance premiums payable by Acadian to Security National Life are to be equal to all of the premiums collected by Acadian on the reinsurance policies subsequent to December 31, 2002.

On January 1, 2003, Security National Life entered into an assumption agreement effective January 1, 2003, with Acadian, in which Security National Life agreed to assume certain of the liabilities related to the reinsurance policies. Under the terms of the assumption agreement, Acadian agreed to cede to Security National Life, and Security National Life agreed to assume the stated insurance risks and contractual obligations of Acadian relating to the Reinsured Business. Security National Life agreed to pay all legal liabilities and obligations, including claims and commissions, of Acadian with respect to the Reinsured Business arising on or after January 1, 2003, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the reinsured policies.

On March 16, 2004, Security National Life purchased all of the outstanding common stock of Paramount Security Life Insurance Company, now known as Security National Life of Louisiana, a Louisiana domiciled insurance company located in Shreveport, Louisiana. As of December 31, 2003, Security National Life of Louisiana had 9,383 policies in force and 29 agents. There were no material changes in the number of policies in force of the number of agents between December 31, 2003 and March 16, 2004. The purchase consideration was $4,398,000 and the transaction was effective January 26, 2004. Security National Life of Louisiana is licensed in the State of Louisiana where it is permitted to appoint agents who do not have a full life insurance license.

On December 31, 2005, all of the remaining insurance business of Southern Security Life consisting of $48,528,000 in assets and liabilities was transferred to Security National Life by a reinsurance agreement, except for $3,500,000 in required capital and surplus. Also on December 31, 2005, Southern Security Life paid a $7,181,000 dividend to Security National Life.

On December 29, 2006, Southern Security Life was sold in a stock sales transaction for $400,000 plus an amount equal to Southern Security Life’s assets consisting of a corporate charter, licenses and required capital and surplus. The sale is conditioned upon the subsequent approval of the transaction by the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation and, if such approval is not obtained, Southern Security Life will be liquidated.

At December 31, 2006, $22,869,000 of the Company’s consolidated stockholders’ equity represents the statutory stockholders’ equity of the Company’s insurance subsidiaries. The life insurance subsidiaries need to comply with applicable state regulations before a dividend can be paid to their parent company.

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.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Annual Report of 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.

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’s), however, based on the criteria set forth in FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “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 $120,000, a majority of which is collateralized under a standby letter of credit issued on the insurance entity’s behalf. See Note 11, “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, 2006, there are no other entities that met the definition of a VIE.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2005, the AICPA issued Statement of Position 05-1, Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs (“DAC”) in Connection with Modifications or Exchanges of Insurance Contracts , (“SOP 05-1”). SOP 05-1 provides guidance on accounting by insurance enterprises for DAC on internal replacements of insurance and investment contracts. An internal replacement is a modification in product benefits, features, rights or coverages that occurs by the exchange of a contract for a new contract, or by amendment, endorsement, or rider to a contract, or by the election of a feature or coverage within a contract. Modifications that result in a replacement contract that is substantially changed from the replaced contract should be accounted for as an extinguishment of the replaced contract. Unamortized DAC, unearned revenue liabilities and deferred sales inducements from the replaced contract must be written-off. Modifications that result in a contract that is substantially unchanged from the replaced contract should be accounted for as a continuation of the replaced contract. SOP 05-1 is effective for internal replacements occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with earlier adoption encouraged. Initial application of SOP 05-1 should be as of the beginning of the entity’s fiscal year. The Company adopted SOP 05-1 effective January 1, 2007. Adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset. It also requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. SFAS 156 permits an entity to use either the amortization method or the fair value measurement method for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS 156 is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2007. The impact of adoption of this statement on the Company’s consolidated financial statements will likely not be material.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes , which attempts to set out a consistent framework for preparers to use to determine the appropriate level of valuation allowance tax reserves to maintain for deferred tax assets relating to uncertain tax positions. This interpretation for FASB Statement No. 109 uses a two-step approach wherein a tax benefit is recognized if a position is more-than-likely-than-not to be sustained. The amount of the benefit is then measured to be the highest tax benefit, which is greater than fifty percent likely to be realized. FIN 48 also sets out disclosure requirements to enhance transparency of an entity’s tax reserves. The Company will adopt this Interpretation as of January 1, 2007. The impact from adoption has not been determined.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, (“SFAS 158”). Under SFAS 158, the company must recognize a net liability or asset to report the funded status of their defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans on their balance sheets. The effective date of the recognition and disclosure provisions for the company is as of December 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 was issued to provide interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. The provisions of SAB 108 are effective for the Company for its December 31, 2006 year-end. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – including an amendment of FASB Statement No 115 (“SFAS 159”) SFAS 159 allows measurement at fair value of eligible financial assets and liabilities that are not otherwise measured at fair value. If the fair value option for an eligible item is elected, unrealized gains and losses for that item shall be reported in current earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparison between the different measurement attributes the Company elects for similar types of assets and liabilities. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is in the process of evaluating the application of the fair value option and its effect on its financial position and results of operations.

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 2006.
