There were 361 securities with fair value of 96.2% of amortized cost at December 31, 2018. No credit losses have been recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates its fixed maturity securities held to maturity. This evaluation includes a review of current ratings by the National Association of Insurance Commissions (“NAIC”). Securities with a rating of 1 or 2 are considered investment grade and are not reviewed for impairment. Securities with ratings of 3 to 5 are evaluated for impairment. Securities with a rating of 6 are automatically determined to be impaired and are written down. The evaluation involves an analysis of the securities in relation to historical values, interest payment history, projected earnings and revenue growth rates as well as a review of the reason for a downgrade in the NAIC rating. Based on the analysis of a security that is rated 3 to 5, a determination is made whether the security will likely make interest and principal payments in accordance with the terms of the financial instrument. If it is unlikely that the security will meet contractual obligations, the loss is considered to be other than temporary, the security is written down to the new anticipated market value and an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses are treated as credit losses as the Company holds fixed maturity securities to maturity unless the underlying conditions have changed in the financial instrument to require an impairment. 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 amortized cost and estimated fair value of fixed maturity securities held to maturity, at September 30, 2019, 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 1 year $ 3,135,187 $ 3,152,560 Due in 2-5 years 85,443,407 87,087,887 Due in 5-10 years 66,438,645 71,147,090 Due in more than 10 years 67,608,634 78,223,031 Mortgage-backed securities 17,020,727 17,710,031 Redeemable preferred stock 103,197 117,236 Total held to maturity $ 239,749,797 $ 257,437,835 The Company is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (“FHLB”). The Company currently has deposited a total of $60,000,000, par value, of United States Treasury fixed maturity securities with FHLB.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company owed $55,000,000 to the FHLB. This amount owed was paid in October 2019. Equity Securities The fair values for equity securities are based on quoted market prices. he Company recognizes the changes (unrealized gains and losses) in the fair value of these equity securities through earnings as part of gains on investments and other assets on the condensed consolidated statements of earnings instead of other comprehensive income on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Investment Related Earnings The Company’s net realized gains and losses from sales, calls, and maturities, unrealized gains and losses on equity securities, and other than temporary impairments are summarized as follows: Three Months Ended September 30 Nine Months Ended September 30 2019 2018 2019 2018 Fixed maturity securities held to maturity: Gross realized gains $ 113,849 $ 109,554 $ 362,475 $ 397,190 Gross realized losses (16,814) (31,670) (121,829) (601,303) Equity securities: Gains (losses) on securities sold 85,998 11,214 138,662 (13,933) Unrealized gains and (losses) on securities held at the end of the period (98,635) 284,192 676,589 71,143 - Other assets: Gross realized gains 472,691 814,471 2,265,914 26,060,598 (1) Gross realized losses (1,076,762) (165,334) (3,060,716) (542,100) Total $ (519,673) $ 1,022,427 $ 261,095 $ 25,371,595 (1) Includes a one-time gain of $22,252,000 from the sale of Dry Creek at East Village Apartments. The net realized gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date, and the cost of the securities sold is determined using the specific identification method. The carrying amount of held to maturity securities sold was $2,724,199 and $4,998,249 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The net realized loss related to these sales was $12,394 and $243,023 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Although the Company has the positive intent and ability to buy and hold a fixed maturity security to maturity, the Company will sell a security prior to maturity if conditions and circumstances have changed within the entity that issued the security to increase the risk of default to an unacceptable level.

Real Estate Held for Investment The Company continues to strategically deploy resources into real estate to match the income and yield durations of its primary obligations. The sources for these real estate assets come through its various business units in the form of acquisition, development and mortgage foreclosures. 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. Geographic locations and asset classes of the investment activity is determined by senior management under the direction of the Board of Directors. The Company employs full-time employees to attend to the day-to-day operations of those assets within the greater Salt Lake area and close surrounding markets. The Company utilizes third party property managers when the geographic boundary does not warrant full-time staff or through strategic lease-up periods. 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 12 commercial properties in 5 states. These properties include industrial warehouses, office buildings, retail centers, a restaurant, and includes the redevelopment and expansion of its corporate campus (“Center53”) in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Company also holds undeveloped land that may be used for future commercial developments. The Company uses bank debt in strategic cases to leverage established yields or to acquire a higher quality or different class of asset. The aggregated net ending balance of commercial real estate that serves as collateral for bank borrowings was approximately $87,696,000 and $84,880,000 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The associated bank loan carrying values totaled approximately $54,037,000 and $52,237,000 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded impairment losses on commercial real estate held for investment of $790,827 and $- 0 -, respectively and during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded impairment losses on commercial real estate held for investment of $2,658,024 and $- 0 -, respectively. The impairment loss of $1,867,197 recognized in the second quarter of 2019 relates to an office building held by the life insurance segment for which the Company received an unsolicited bid in May 2019 from a potential buyer that was significantly below the building’s carrying value. Although management did not consider the offer as representative of fair value, the Company evaluated the unsolicited bid as a potential impairment indicator and performed an additional impairment analysis internally, concluding based on management’s best estimates that the fair value of the building was less than its carrying value. During the third quarter of 2019, the Company obtained an independent appraisal from an outside commercial real estate valuation firm. This appraisal indicated an additional impairment of $790,827 which the Company recognized in the third quarter 2019. These impairment losses are included in gains (losses) on investment and other assets on the condensed consolidated statements of earnings.

Currently, the Company occupies nearly 70,000 square feet, or approximately 10% of the overall commercial real estate holdings. As of September 30, 2019, real estate owned and occupied by the Company is summarized as follows: Location Business Segment Approximate Square Footage Square Footage Occupied by the Company 5300 South 360 West, Salt Lake City, UT (1) Corporate Offices, Life Insurance and Cemetery/Mortuary Operations 36,000 100% 5201 Green Street, Salt Lake City, UT Mortgage Operations 36,899 34% 1044 River Oaks Dr., Flowood, MS Life Insurance Operations 21,521 27% 121 West Election Road, Draper, UT Mortgage Sales 78,978 19% (1) This asset is included in property and equipment on the condensed consolidated balance sheets Mortgage Loans Held for Investment 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 debtors’ 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 , respectively. Mortgage loans held for investment are Mortgage loans are secured by the underlying property and require an appraisal at the time of underwriting and funding. Generally, the Company will fund a loan not to exceed 80% of the loan’s collateral fair market value. Amounts over 80% will require additional collateral or mortgage insurance by an approved third-party insurer. The Company provides for losses on its mortgage loans held for investment through an allowance for loan losses (a contra-asset account). The allowance is comprised of two components. The first component is an allowance for collectively evaluated impairment that is based upon the Company’s historical experience in collecting similar receivables. The second component is based upon individual evaluation of loans that are determined to be impaired. Upon determining impairment, the Company establishes an individual impairment allowance based upon an assessment of the fair value of the underlying collateral. The allowance for losses on mortgage loans held for investment could change based on changes in the value of the underlying collateral, the performance status of the loans, or the Company’s actual collection experience. The actual losses could change, in the near term, from the established allowance, based upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of these events.

Payments received for loans on a non-accrual status are recognized on a cash basis. Interest income recognized from any payments received for loans on a non-accrual status was immaterial. Accrual of interest resumes if a loan is brought current. Interest not accrued on these loans totals approximately $183,000 and $151,000 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
