1) Basis of Presentation | 1) Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10 Q and Articles 8 and 10 of Regulation S X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2014, included in the CompanyÂ’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (file number 000-09341). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The estimates susceptible to significant change are those used in determining the liability for future policy benefits and claims, those used in determining valuation allowances for mortgage loans on real estate and construction loans held for investment, those used in determining loan loss reserve, and those used in determining the estimated future costs for pre-need sales. Although some variability is inherent in these estimates, management believes the amounts provided are fairly stated in all material respects. |

2) Recent Accounting Pronouncements | 2) Recent Accounting Pronouncements Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-11: "Transfers and Servicing - Repurchase to Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures (Topic 860)" – Issued in June 2014, ASU 2014-11 aligns the accounting for repurchase to maturity transactions and repurchase agreements executed as a repurchase financing with the accounting for other typical repurchase agreements. Going forward, these transactions would all be accounted for as secured borrowings. The new authoritative guidance is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014. In addition the disclosure of certain transactions accounted for as a sale is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and the disclosure for transactions accounted for as secured borrowings is required for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods beginning after March 15, 2015. This new guidance has not and will not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. ASU No. 2014-09: “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” - Issued in May 2014, ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, and requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Insurance contracts are excluded from the scope of this new guidance. The new authoritative guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is in the process of evaluating the potential impact of this standard, which is not expected to be material to the Company’s results of operations or financial position. The Company has reviewed other recent accounting pronouncements and has determined that they will not significantly impact the Company’s results of operations or financial position. |

The unrealized losses were primarily related to interest rate fluctuations. The tables set forth unrealized losses by duration and number of investment positions, together with the fair value of the related fixed maturity securities: Unrealized Losses for Less than Twelve Months No. of Investment Positions Unrealized Losses for More than Twelve Months No. of Investment Positions Total Unrealized Loss At June 30, 2015 Obligations of states and political subdivisions $ - 0 $ 2,624 1 $ 2,624 Corporate securities including public utilities 2,798,201 74 707,012 12 3,505,213 Mortgage-backed securities 6,855 2 - 0 6,855 Total unrealized losses $ 2,805,056 76 $ 709,636 13 $ 3,514,692 Fair Value $ 23,917,114 $ 2,327,984 $ 26,245,098 At December 31, 2014 Obligations of states and political subdivisions $ - 0 $ 5,278 1 $ 5,278 Corporate securities including public utilities 548,310 21 432,047 11 980,357 Mortgage-backed securities 3,966 1 7,928 1 11,894 Total unrealized losses $ 552,276 22 $ 445,253 13 $ 997,529 Fair Value $ 7,081,352 $ 2,777,587 $ 9,858,939 As of September 30, 2015, the average market value of the related fixed maturities was 88.2% of amortized cost and the average market value was 90.8% of amortized cost as of December 31, 2014. During the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 an other than temporary decline in fair value resulted in the recognition of credit losses on fixed maturity securities of $30,000 and $30,000, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 an other than temporary decline in fair value resulted in the recognition of credit losses on fixed maturity securities of $90,000 and $90,000, respectively. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews its fixed maturity investment securities related to corporate securities and other public utilities, consisting of bonds and preferred stocks that are in a loss position. The review involves an analysis of the securities in relation to historical values, and projected earnings and revenue growth rates. Based on the analysis, a determination is made whether a security will likely recover from the loss position within a reasonable period of time. If it is unlikely that the investment will recover from the loss position, the loss is considered to be other than temporary, the security is written down to the impaired value and an impairment loss is recognized. Equity Securities The following tables summarize unrealized losses on equity securities that were carried at estimated fair value based on quoted trading prices at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The unrealized losses were primarily the result of decreases in fair value due to overall equity market declines. The tables set forth unrealized losses by duration and number of investment positions, together with the fair value of the related equity securities available-for-sale in a loss position: Unrealized Losses for Less than Twelve Months No. of Investment Positions Unrealized Losses for More than Twelve Months No. of Investment Positions Total Unrealized Losses At September 30, 2015 Industrial, miscellaneous and all other $ 973,583 273 $ 918,800 66 $ 1,892,383 Total unrealized losses $ 973,583 273 $ 918,800 66 $ 1,892,383 Fair Value $ 4,723,167 $ 802,547 $ 5,525,714 At December 31, 2014 Industrial, miscellaneous and all other $ 327,389 138 $ 492,744 27 $ 820,133 Total unrealized losses $ 327,389 138 $ 492,744 27 $ 820,133 Fair Value $ 2,162,425 $ 676,706 $ 2,839,131 As of September 30, 2015, the average market value of the equity securities available for sale was 74.5% of the original investment and the average market value was 77.6% of the original investment as of December 31, 2014. The intent of the Company is to retain equity securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for the recovery in fair value. However, the Company may sell equity securities during a period in which the fair value has declined below the amount of the original investment. In certain situations new factors, including changes in the business environment, can change the CompanyÂ’s previous intent to continue holding a security. During the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, an other than temporary decline in the fair value resulted in the recognition of an impairment loss on equity securities of $26,290 and $-0-, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, an other than temporary decline in the fair value resulted in the recognition of an impairment loss on equity securities of $77,497 and $-0-, respectively. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews its investment in industrial, miscellaneous and all other equity securities that are in a loss position. The review involves an analysis of the securities in relation to historical values, price earnings ratios, projected earnings and revenue growth rates. Based on the analysis a determination is made whether a security will likely recover from the loss position within a reasonable period of time. If it is unlikely that the investment will recover from the loss position, the loss is considered to be other than temporary, the security is written down to the impaired value and an impairment loss is recognized. The fair values of fixed maturity securities are based on quoted market prices, when available. For fixed maturity securities not actively traded, fair values are estimated using values obtained from independent pricing services, or in the case of private placements, are estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using a current market value applicable to the coupon rate, credit and maturity of the investments. The fair values for equity securities are based on quoted market prices. The amortized cost and estimated fair value of fixed maturity securities at September 30, 2015, 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 net realized gain related to these sales was $330,373 and $18,051 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. There were no investments, aggregated by issuer, in excess of 10% of shareholdersÂ’ equity (before net unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities) at September 30, 2015, other than investments issued or guaranteed by the United States Government. Major categories of net investment income are as follows: Three Months Ended September 30 Nine Months Ended September 30 2015 2014 2015 2014 Fixed maturity securities $ 2,014,014 $ 2,036,407 $ 6,139,698 $ 6,212,852 Equity securities 61,238 73,110 175,954 163,109 Mortgage loans on real estate 1,754,852 2,216,711 5,396,016 5,605,882 Real estate 2,320,242 2,125,374 6,674,594 6,416,939 Policy loans 219,916 195,138 597,101 574,393 Short-term investments, principally gains on sale of mortgage loans and other 4,777,404 3,831,378 13,741,796 8,512,479 Gross investment income 11,147,666 10,478,118 32,725,159 27,485,654 Investment expenses (2,715,252) (2,286,156) (7,879,228) (6,943,905) Net investment income $ 8,432,414 $ 8,191,962 $ 24,845,931 $ 20,541,749 Net investment income includes income earned by the restricted assets of the cemeteries and mortuaries of $119,963 and $96,370 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $306,449 and $268,729 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Net investment income on real estate consists primarily of rental revenue. Investment expenses consist primarily of depreciation, property taxes, operating expenses of real estate and an estimated portion of administrative expenses relating to investment activities. Securities on deposit for regulatory authorities as required by law amounted to $9,065,847 at September 30, 2015 and $8,886,001 at December 31, 2014. The restricted securities are included in various assets under investments on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Mortgage Loans Mortgage loans consist of first and second mortgages. The mortgage loans bear interest at rates ranging from 2.0% to 10.5%, maturity dates range from nine 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 debtorsÂ’ ability to honor obligations is reliant on the economic stability of the geographic region in which the debtors do business. At , the Company had , of its mortgage loans from borrowers located in the states of Utah, California Florida respectively. The mortgage loans on real estate balances on the consolidated balance sheet are reflected net of an allowance for loan losses of and $ at and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Impaired Mortgage Loans Impaired mortgage loans include loans with a related specific valuation allowance or loans whose carrying amount has been reduced to the expected collectible amount because the impairment has been considered other than temporary. The recorded investment in and unpaid principal balance of impaired loans along with the related loan specific allowance for losses, if any, for each reporting period and the average recorded investment and interest income recognized during the time the loans were impaired were as follows: Impaired Loans Recorded Investment Unpaid Principal Balance Related Allowance Average Recorded Investment Interest Income Recognized September 30, 2015 With no related allowance recorded: Commercial $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - Residential - - - - - Residential construction - - - - - With an allowance recorded: Commercial $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - Residential 2,989,318 2,989,318 198,818 2,989,318 - Residential construction - - - - - Total: Commercial $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - Residential 2,989,318 2,989,318 198,818 2,989,318 - Residential construction - - - - - December 31, 2014 With no related allowance recorded: Commercial $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - Residential - - - - - Residential construction 414,499 414,499 - 414,499 - With an allowance recorded: Commercial $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - Residential 1,556,182 1,556,182 153,446 1,556,182 - Residential construction - - - - - Total: Commercial $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - Residential 1,556,182 1,556,182 153,446 1,556,182 - Residential construction 414,499 414,499 - 414,499 - Credit Risk Profile Based on Performance Status The CompanyÂ’s mortgage loan portfolio is monitored based on performance of the loans. Monitoring a mortgage loan increases when the loan is delinquent or earlier if there is an indication of impairment. The Company defines non-performing mortgage loans as loans 90 days past due or on non-accrual status. The CompanyÂ’s performing and non-performing mortgage loans were as follows: Mortgage Loan Credit Exposure Credit Risk Profile Based on Payment Activity Commercial Residential Residential Construction Total September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Performing $ 36,601,043 $ 35,388,756 $ 42,879,244 $ 46,571,350 $ 28,797,765 $ 32,592,544 $ 108,278,052 $ 114,552,650 Nonperforming - - 5,197,001 7,021,083 64,895 479,394 5,261,896 7,500,477 Total $ 36,601,043 $ 35,388,756 $ 48,076,245 $ 53,592,433 $ 28,862,660 $ 33,071,938 $ 113,539,948 $ 122,053,127 Non-Accrual Mortgage Loans Once a loan is past due 90 days, it is the CompanyÂ’s policy to end the accrual of interest income on the loan and write off any income that had been accrued. Interest not accrued on these loans totals $571,000 and $535,000 as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The following is a summary of mortgage loans on a nonaccrual status for the periods presented. Mortgage Loans on Nonaccrual Status As of September 30 2015 As of December 31 2014 Residential $ 5,197,001 $ 7,021,083 Residential construction 64,895 479,394 Total $ 5,261,896 $ 7,500,477 Loan Loss Reserve The mortgage loan loss reserve is an estimate of probable losses at the balance sheet date that the Company will realize in the future on mortgage loans sold to third party investors. The loan loss reserve analysis involves mortgage loans that have been sold to third party investors where the Company has received a demand from the investor. There are generally three types of demands: make whole, repurchase, or indemnification. These types of demands are more particularly described as follows: Make whole demand Repurchase demand Indemnification demand When a repurchase demand is received from a third party investor, the relevant data is reviewed and captured so that an estimated future loss can be calculated. The key factors that are used in the estimated loss calculation are as follows: (i) lien position, (ii) payment status, (iii) claim type, (iv) unpaid principal balance, (v) interest rate, and (vi) validity of the demand. Other data is captured and is useful for management purposes; the actual estimated loss is generally based on these key factors. The Company conducts its own review upon the receipt of a repurchase demand. In many instances, the Company is able to resolve the issues relating to the repurchase demand by the third party investor without having to make any payments to the investor. The following is a summary of the loan loss reserve that is included in other liabilities and accrued expenses: As of September 30 2015 As of December 31 2014 Balance, beginning of period $ 1,718,150 $ 5,506,532 Provisions for losses 4,673,991 3,053,403 Charge-offs (640,990) (6,841,785) Balance, end of period $ 5,751,151 $ 1,718,150 The Company believes the loan loss reserve represents probable loan losses incurred as of the balance sheet date. Actual loan loss experience could change, in the near-term, from the established reserve based upon claims that could be asserted by third party investors.

4) Stock-based Compensation | 4) Stock-Based Compensation The Company has four fixed option plans (the “2003 Plan”, the “2006 Director Plan”, the “2013 Plan” and the “2014 Director Plan”). Compensation expense for options issued of $88,510 and $108,872 has been recognized for these plans for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $299,986 and $237,398 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of September 30, 2015, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to the options issued in December 2014 was $61,645 , which is expected to be recognized over the vesting period of one year. At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company, held on July 1, 2015, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s “2013 Plan” to authorize an additional 450,000 shares of Class A common stock to be available for issuance under the plan, of which up to 200,000 shares of Class A common shares may be issued as up to 200,000 shares of Class C common stock. The Company generally estimates the expected life of the options based upon the contractual term of the options adjusted for actual experience. Future volatility is estimated based upon the a weighted historical volatility of the Company’s Class A common stock and three peer company stocks over a period equal to the estimated life of the options. Common stock issued upon exercise of stock options are generally new share issuances rather than from treasury shares. A summary of the status of the Company’s stock incentive plans as of September 30, 2015, and the changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, are presented below: Number of Class A Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Number of Class C Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Outstanding at December 31, 2014 512,795 $ 3.20 691,591 $ 2.00 Granted - - Exercised (23,820) 1.85 (114,023) 2.14 Cancelled (8,846) 2.31 - Outstanding at September 30, 2015 480,129 $ 3.28 577,568 $ 2.62 As of September 30, 2015: Options exercisable 447,571 $ 3.17 550,693 $ 2.51 As of September 30, 2015: Available options for future grant 561,649 155,000 Weighted average contractual term of options outstanding at September 30, 2015 7.15 years 2.41 years Weighted average contractual term of options exercisable at September 30, 2015 7.00 years 2.35 years Aggregated intrinsic value of options outstanding at September 30, 2015 (1) $1,646,768 $2,363,921 Aggregated intrinsic value of options exercisable at September 30, 2015 (1) $1,583,605 $2,312,190 (1) The Company used a stock price of $6.71 as of September 30, 2015 to derive intrinsic value.

6) Business Segments | 6) Business Segments Description of Products and Services by Segment The Company has three reportable business segments: life insurance, cemetery and mortuary, and mortgage. The CompanyÂ’s life insurance segment consists of life insurance premiums and operating expenses from the sale of insurance products sold by the CompanyÂ’s independent agency force and net investment income derived from investing policyholder and segment surplus funds. The CompanyÂ’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 CompanyÂ’s mortgage segment consists of loan fee income and expenses from the originations of residential and commercial mortgage loans and interest earned and interest expenses from warehousing pre-sold loans before the funds are received from financial institutional investors. Measurement of Segment Profit or Loss and Segment Assets The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the Significant Accounting Principles of the form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Intersegment revenues are recorded at cost plus an agreed upon intercompany profit, and are eliminated upon consolidation. Factors Management Used to Identify the EnterpriseÂ’s Reportable Segments The CompanyÂ’s reportable segments are business units that offer different products and are managed separately due to the different products and the need to report to the various regulatory jurisdictions.

7): Fair Value of Financial Instruments | 9 Months Ended |

Notes | |
7): Fair Value of Financial Instruments | 7) Fair Value of Financial Instruments Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. GAAP also specifies a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions. Fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy: Level 1: Level 2: a) Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; b) Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets; or c) Valuation models whose inputs are observable, directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3: The Company utilizes a combination of third party valuation service providers, brokers, and internal valuation models to determine fair value. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value disclosures related to other significant financial instruments: The items shown under Level 1 and Level 2 are valued as follows: Securities Available for Sale and Held to Maturity : The fair values of investments in fixed maturity and equity securities along with methods used to estimate such values are disclosed in Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Statements. Restricted Assets : A portion of these assets include mutual funds and equity securities that have quoted market prices. Also included are cash and cash equivalents and participations in mortgage loans. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet for these financial instruments approximate their fair values. Cemetery Perpetual Care Trust Investments : A portion of these assets include equity securities that have quoted market prices. Also included are cash and cash equivalents. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet for these financial instruments approximate their fair values. Call and Put Options : The Company uses quoted market prices to value its call and put options. The items shown under Level 3 are valued as follows: Policyholder Account Balances and Future Policy Benefits-Annuities Future policy benefit reserves for interest-sensitive insurance products are computed under a retrospective deposit method and represent policy account balances before applicable surrender charges. Policy benefits and claims that are charged to expense include benefit claims incurred in the period in excess of related policy account balances. Interest crediting rates for interest-sensitive insurance products ranged from 4% to 6.5%. The fair values for the Company’s liabilities under investment-type insurance contracts (disclosed as policyholder account balances and future policy benefits – annuities) are estimated based on the contracts’ cash surrender values. The fair values for the Company’s insurance contracts other than investment-type contracts are not required to be disclosed. However, the fair values of liabilities under all insurance contracts are taken into consideration in the Company’s overall management of interest rate risk, such that the Company’s exposure to changing interest rates is minimized through the matching of investment maturities with amounts due under insurance contracts. Interest Rate Lock Commitments The Company 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. Bank Loan Interest Rate Swaps Mortgage Loans on Real Estate : The fair values are estimated using interest rates currently being offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings. Loans with similar characteristics are aggregated for purposes of the calculations. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet for these financial instruments approximate their fair values. Real Estate Held for Investment : It should be noted that for replacement cost, when determining the fair value of mortgage properties, the Company uses Marshall and Swift, a provider of building cost information to the real estate construction industry. For the investment analysis, the Company used market data based upon its real estate operation experience and projected the present value of the net rental income over seven years. The Company used 60% of the projected cash flow analysis and 40% of the replacement cost to approximate fair value of the collateral. In addition to this analysis performed by the Company, the Company depreciates Other Real Estate Held for Investment. This depreciation reduces the book value of these properties and lessens the exposure to the Company from further deterioration in real estate values. Mortgage Servicing Rights The Company’s subsequent accounting for MSRs is based on the class of MSRs. The Company has identified two classes of MSRs: MSRs backed by mortgage loans with initial term of 30 years and MSRs backed by mortgage loans with initial term of 15 years. The Company distinguishes between these classes of MSRs due to their differing sensitivities to change in value as the result of changes in market. After being initially recorded at fair value, MSRs backed by mortgage loans are accounted for using the amortization method. MSR amortization is determined by amortizing the balance straight-line over an estimated nine year life. The Company periodically assesses MSRs for impairment. Impairment occurs when the current fair value of the MSR falls below the asset’s carrying value (carrying value is the amortized cost reduced by any related valuation allowance). If MSRs are impaired, the impairment is recognized in current-period earnings and the carrying value of the MSRs is adjusted through a valuation allowance. Management periodically reviews the various loan strata to determine whether the value of the MSRs in a given stratum is impaired and likely to recover. When management deems recovery of the value to be unlikely in the foreseeable future, a write-down of the cost of the MSRs for that stratum to its estimated recoverable value is charged to the valuation allowance. The following tables summarize Level 1, 2 and 3 financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by their classification in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2015.

The Company’s mortgage loans are grouped into three categories: Residential, Residential Construction and Commercial. When estimating the expected future cash flows, it is assumed that all loans will be held to maturity, and any loans that are non-performing are evaluated individually for impairment. Residential – The estimated fair value of mortgage loans originated prior to 2013 is determined by estimating expected future cash flows of interest payments and discounting them using current interest rates from single family mortgages. The estimated fair value of mortgage loans originated in 2013, 2014 and 2015 is determined from pricing of similar loans that were sold in 2013 and 2014. Residential Construction – These loans are primarily short in maturity (4-6 months) accordingly, the estimated fair value is determined to be the net book value. Commercial – The estimated fair value is determined by estimating expected future cash flows of interest payments and discounting them using current interest rates for commercial mortgages. Policy and Other Loans : The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet for these financial instruments approximate their fair values. Short-Term Investments : The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet for these financial instruments approximate their fair values. Bank and Other Loans Payable The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet for these financial instruments approximate their fair values. |

8) Allowance For Doubtful Accounts and Loan Losses and Impaired Loans | 8) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, Allowance for Loan Losses and Impaired Loans The Company records an allowance and recognizes an expense for potential losses from mortgage loans, other loans and receivables in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Receivables are the result of cemetery and mortuary operations, mortgage loan operations and life insurance operations. The allowance is based upon the CompanyÂ’s historical experience for collectively evaluated impairment. Other allowances are based upon receivables individually evaluated for impairment. Collectability of the cemetery and mortuary receivables is significantly influenced by current economic conditions. The critical issues that impact recovery of mortgage loan operations are interest rate risk, loan underwriting, new regulations and the overall economy. The Company provides allowances for losses on its mortgage loans held for investment through an allowance for loan losses. The allowance is comprised of two components. The first component is an allowance for collectively evaluated impairment that is based upon the CompanyÂ’s historical experience in collecting similar receivables. The second component is based upon individual evaluation of loans that are determined to be impaired. Upon determining impairment the Company establishes an individual impairment allowance based upon an assessment of the fair value of the underlying collateral. See the schedules in Note 3 for additional information. The allowance for losses on mortgage loans held for investment could change based on changes in the value of the underlying collateral, the performance status of the loans, or the CompanyÂ’s actual collection experience. The actual losses could change, in the near term, from the established allowance, based upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of these events. |

9) Derivative Commitments | 9) Derivative Commitments The Company is exposed to price risk due to the potential impact of changes in interest rates on the values of mortgage loan commitments from the time a derivative loan commitment is made to an applicant to the time the loan that would result from the exercise of that loan commitment is funded. Managing price risk is complicated by the fact that the ultimate percentage of derivative loan commitments that will be exercised (i.e., the number of loan commitments that will be funded) fluctuates. The probability that a loan will not be funded within the terms of the commitment is driven by a number of factors, particularly the change, if any, in mortgage rates following the inception of the interest rate lock. However, many borrowers continue to exercise derivative loan commitments even when interest rates have fallen. In general, the probability of funding increases if mortgage rates rise and decreases if mortgage rates fall. This is due primarily to the relative attractiveness of current mortgage rates compared to the applicant’s committed rate. The probability that a loan will not be funded within the terms of the mortgage loan commitment also is influenced by the source of the applications (retail, broker or correspondent channels), proximity to rate lock expiration, purpose for the loan (purchase or refinance) product type and the application approval status. The Company has developed fallout estimates using historical data that take into account all of the variables, as well as renegotiations of rate and point commitments that tend to occur when mortgage rates fall. These fallout estimates are used to estimate the number of loans that the Company expects to be funded within the terms of the mortgage loan commitments and are updated periodically to reflect the most current data. The Company estimates the fair value of a mortgage loan commitment based on the change in estimated fair value of the underlying mortgage loan and the probability that the mortgage loan will fund within the terms of the commitment. The change in fair value of the underlying mortgage loan is measured from the date the mortgage loan commitment is issued. Therefore, at the time of issuance, the estimated fair value is zero. Following issuance, the value of a mortgage loan commitment can be either positive or negative depending upon the change in value of the underlying mortgage loans. Fallout rates derived from the Company’s recent historical empirical data are used to estimate the quantity of mortgage loans that will fund within the terms of the commitments. The Company utilizes forward loan sales commitments to economically hedge the price risk associated with its outstanding mortgage loan commitments. A forward loan sales commitment protects the Company from losses on sales of the loans arising from exercise of the loan commitments by securing the ultimate sales price and delivery date of the loans. Management expects these derivatives will experience changes in fair value opposite to changes in fair value of the derivative loan commitments, thereby reducing earnings volatility related to the recognition in earnings of changes in the values of the commitments. The Company has adopted a strategy of selling “out of the money” call options on its available for sale equity securities as a source of revenue. The options give the purchaser the right to buy from the Company specified equity securities at a set price up to a pre-determined date in the future. The Company has adopted the selling of put options as a means of generating cash or purchasing equity securities at lower than current market prices. The Company receives an immediate payment of cash for the value of the option and establishes a liability for the fair value of the option. The liability for call and put options is adjusted to fair value at each reporting date. The fair value of outstanding call and put options as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $110,399 and $127,903, respectively. In the event an option is exercised, the Company recognizes a gain on the sale of the equity security and a gain from the sale of the option. If the option expires unexercised, the Company recognizes a gain from the sale of the option. The following table shows the fair value of derivatives as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

10) Reinsurance, Commitments and Contingencies | 10) Reinsurance, Commitments and Contingencies Reinsurance Reinsurance Agreement with North America Life Insurance Company On May 8, 2015, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Security National Life, signed a paid-up business offer under the coinsurance agreement effective December 1, 2010 to reinsure certain life insurance policies from North America Life Insurance Company (“North America Life”). Pursuant to the paid-up business offer, North America Life ceded and transferred to Security National Life all contractual obligations and risks under the coinsured policies. Security National Life paid a ceding commission to North America Life in the amount of $281,908. As a result of the ceding commission, North America Life transferred $8,900,282 of cash and $9,182,190 in statutory reserves, or liabilities, to Security National Life. Reinsurance Agreement with American Republic Insurance Company On February 11, 2015, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Security National Life, signed a coinsurance agreement to reinsure certain life insurance policies from American Republic Insurance Company (“American Republic”). The policies were previously reinsured by North America Life under a coinsurance agreement between World Insurance Company (“World Insurance”) and North America Life entered into on July 22, 2009 which was commuted. World Insurance was subsequently purchased by and merged into American Republic. The current coinsurance agreement is between Security National Life and American Republic and became effective on January 1, 2015. As part of the coinsurance agreement, American Republic transferred all contractual obligations and risks to Security National Life and Security National Life took control of $15,004,771 of assets in a trust account held by Texas Capital Bank as the trustee. Mortgage Loan Loss Settlements The mortgage industry has seen potential loan losses increase. Future loan losses are extremely difficult to estimate, especially in the current market. However, management believes that the Company’s reserve methodology and its current practice of property preservation allow it to estimate its losses on loans sold. The amounts accrued for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $1,755,000 and $1,063,000 , respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $4,674,000 and $2,007,000 , respectively. The estimated liability for indemnification losses is included in other liabilities and accrued expenses and, as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the balances were $5,751,000 and $1,718,000 , respectively. Mortgage Loan Loss Demands Third Party Investors There have been assertions in third party investor correspondence that SecurityNational Mortgage sold mortgage loans that allegedly contained borrower misrepresentations or experienced early payment defaults, or that were otherwise allegedly defective or not in compliance with agreements between SecurityNational Mortgage and the third party investors consisting principally of financial institutions. As a result of these claims, third party investors have made demands that SecurityNational Mortgage repurchase certain alleged defective mortgage loans that were sold to such investors or indemnify them against any losses related to such loans. The total amount of potential claims by third party investors is difficult to determine. The Company has reserved and accrued $5,751,000 as of September 30, 2015 to settle all such investor related claims. The Company believes that the reserve for mortgage loan loss, which includes provisions for probable losses and indemnification on mortgage loans sold to investors, is reasonable based on available information. Moreover, the Company has successfully negotiated acceptable settlement terms with other third party investors that asserted claims for mortgage loan losses against SecurityNational Mortgage. SecurityNational Mortgage disagrees with the repurchase demands and notices of potential claims from third party investors. Furthermore, SecurityNational Mortgage believes there is potential to resolve the alleged claims by the third party investors on acceptable terms. If SecurityNational Mortgage is unable to resolve such claims on acceptable terms, legal action may ensue. In the event of legal action by any third party investor, SecurityNational Mortgage believes it has significant defenses to any such action and intends to vigorously defend itself against such action. JP Morgan Chase Indemnification Demand The Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, SecurityNational Mortgage, received a notice of claim for indemnification dated December 21, 2011, from JP Morgan Chase & Co. (“JP Morgan Chase”) on behalf of EMC Mortgage, LLC (“EMC Mortgage”), relating to 21 mortgage loans that EMC Mortgage allegedly purchased as a third party investor from SecurityNational Mortgage. The notice also referenced a guaranty agreement, dated February 23, 2006, by the Company for the benefit of EMC Mortgage. The indemnification notice additionally stated that EMC Mortgage had been named in a lawsuit by the Bear Stearns Mortgage Funding Trust 2007-AR2 (the “Trust”), which was filed on September 13, 2011 in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The lawsuit the Trust brought against EMC Mortgage contends that more than 800 residential mortgage loans that EMC Mortgage sold to the Trust (including the 21 loans allegedly originated by SecurityNational Mortgage) contained breaches of representations and warranties with respect to the mortgage loans, as well as defaults and foreclosures in many of such loans. As a result of the alleged breaches of representations and warranties by EMC Mortgage, the complaint requests that EMC Mortgage be ordered to repurchase from the Trust any loans for which it breached its representations and warranties, in the amount of the mortgage loans’ outstanding principal balance and all accrued but unpaid interest. The indemnification notice from JP Morgan Chase further alleged that the Company and SecurityNational Mortgage are required to indemnify EMC Mortgage for any of its losses arising from the lawsuit that the Trust brought against EMC based upon allegedly untrue statements of material fact related to information that was provided by SecurityNational Mortgage. To the extent the claims in the complaint relate to the 21 mortgage loans that SecurityNational Mortgage allegedly sold to EMC Mortgage, the Company believes it has significant defenses to such claims. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself and SecurityNational Mortgage in the event that JP Morgan Chase were to bring any legal action to require the Company or SecurityNational Mortgage to indemnify it for any loss, liability or expense in connection with the lawsuit that the Trust brought against EMC Mortgage. Inquiry Regarding FHA Insured Loans SecurityNational Mortgage has been cooperating with the U.S. Department of Justice and the Office of the Inspector General for the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in a civil investigation regarding compliance with requirements relating to certain loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). No demand has been made and SecurityNational Mortgage has not established a liability for this matter absent a specific demand because it is not able to estimate a range of reasonably potential loss due to significant uncertainties regarding: the absence of any specific demand, the potential remedies, including possible defenses, and the lack of information concerning the performance of its FHA insured originations, the majority of which SecurityNational Mortgage does not service. The investigation has focused on loans originated by SecurityNational Mortgage on or after January 1, 2006. The FHA mortgage loans that SecurityNational Mortgage originated between January 1, 2006 and May 21, 2013 total approximately 45,900 loans with an original principal balance of approximately $7.9 billion. Mortgage Loan Loss Litigation For a description of the litigation involving SecurityNational Mortgage and Lehman Brothers and Aurora Loan Services, reference is to Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings. Other Contingencies and Commitments The Company has entered into commitments to fund new residential construction loans. As of September 30, 2015, the Company’s commitments were $48,354,000 for these loans of which $28,863,000 had been funded. The Company will advance funds once the work has been completed and an independent inspection is made. The maximum loan commitment ranges between 50% and 80% of appraised value. The Company receives fees from the borrowers and the interest rate is generally 2% to 6.75% over the bank prime rate (3.25% as of September 30, 2015). Maturities range between six and twelve months. The Company is not a party to any other material legal proceedings outside the ordinary course of business or to any other legal proceedings, which, if adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. |

Use of Estimates Policy | The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The estimates susceptible to significant change are those used in determining the liability for future policy benefits and claims, those used in determining valuation allowances for mortgage loans on real estate and construction loans held for investment, those used in determining loan loss reserve, and those used in determining the estimated future costs for pre-need sales. Although some variability is inherent in these estimates, management believes the amounts provided are fairly stated in all material respects. |

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy | Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-11: "Transfers and Servicing - Repurchase to Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures (Topic 860)" – Issued in June 2014, ASU 2014-11 aligns the accounting for repurchase to maturity transactions and repurchase agreements executed as a repurchase financing with the accounting for other typical repurchase agreements. Going forward, these transactions would all be accounted for as secured borrowings. The new authoritative guidance is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014. In addition the disclosure of certain transactions accounted for as a sale is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and the disclosure for transactions accounted for as secured borrowings is required for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods beginning after March 15, 2015. This new guidance has not and will not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. ASU No. 2014-09: “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” - Issued in May 2014, ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, and requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Insurance contracts are excluded from the scope of this new guidance. The new authoritative guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is in the process of evaluating the potential impact of this standard, which is not expected to be material to the Company’s results of operations or financial position. The Company has reviewed other recent accounting pronouncements and has determined that they will not significantly impact the Company’s results of operations or financial position. |
