There were 250 securities with unrealized losses of 93.9% of amortized cost at December 31, 2016. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 an other than temporary decline in fair value resulted in the recognition of credit losses on fixed maturity securities of $52,139 and $30,000, respectively. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews its available for sale and held to maturity fixed investment securities related to corporate securities and other public utilities, consisting of bonds and preferred stocks that are in a loss position. The review involves an analysis of the securities in relation to historical values, and projected earnings and revenue growth rates. Based on the analysis, a determination is made whether a security will likely recover from the loss position within a reasonable period of time. If it is unlikely that the investment will recover from the loss position, the loss is considered to be other than temporary, the security is written down to the impaired value and an impairment loss is recognized. Equity Securities The following tables summarize unrealized losses on equity securities that were carried at estimated fair value based on quoted trading prices at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. 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 March 31, 2017 Industrial, miscellaneous and all other $178,006 149 $638,772 105 $816,778 Total unrealized losses $178,006 149 $638,772 105 $816,778 Fair Value $3,955,133 $1,154,812 $5,109,945 At December 31, 2016 Industrial, miscellaneous and all other $215,563 124 $643,529 104 $859,092 Total unrealized losses $215,563 124 $643,529 104 $859,092 Fair Value $2,063,144 $1,685,874 $3,749,018 The average market value of the equity securities available for sale was 86.2% and 81.4% of the original investment as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. 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 Company’s previous intent to continue holding a security. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, an other than temporary decline in the fair value resulted in the recognition of an impairment loss on equity securities of $-0- and $43,630, 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 March 31, 2017, 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. Amortized Cost Estimated Fair Value Held to Maturity: Due in 2017 $5,625,049 $5,677,028 Due in 2018 through 2021 42,733,718 44,794,103 Due in 2022 through 2026 43,263,792 45,020,917 Due after 2026 84,446,098 90,098,945 Mortgage-backed securities 9,753,206 9,765,624 Redeemable preferred stock 623,635 629,962 Total held to maturity $186,445,498 $195,986,579 The cost and estimated fair value of available for sale securities at March 31, 2017, by contractual maturity, are shown below.

Commercial Real Estate Held for Investment The Company owns and manages commercial real estate assets as a means of generating investment income. These assets are acquired in accordance with the Company’s goals and objectives for risk-adjusted returns. Due diligence is conducted on each asset using internal and third party reports.

The Company generally looks to acquire assets in regions that are high growth regions for employment and population and in assets that provide operational efficiencies. The Company currently owns and operates 13 commercial properties in 7 states. These properties include industrial warehouses, office buildings, retail centers, undeveloped land and includes the redevelopment and expansion of its corporate campus in Salt Lake City Utah.

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 March 31 2017 (As Restated) (Unaudited) As of December 31 2016 (As Restated) Balance, beginning of period $ 627,733 $ 2,805,900 Provision for current loan originations (1) 426,634 2,988,754 Additional provision for loan loss reserve - 1,700,000 Charge-offs, net of recaptured amounts 10,708 (6,866,921) Balance, end of period $ 1,065,075 $ 627,733 (1) Included in Mortgage fee income 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. SecurityNational Mortgage believes there is potential to resolve any alleged claims by 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. |
