Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2000
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. 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, 2000,
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2000. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1999,
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K (file number 0-9341).
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles 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 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.
2. Comprehensive Income
For the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, total comprehensive
income amounted to $700,326 and $141,687, respectively. For the three months
ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, total comprehensive income amounted to
$534,953 and $224,330 respectively.
3. Capital Stock
In accordance with SFAS 128, the basic and diluted earnings per share amounts
were calculated as follows:

5. Acquisition of Southern Security Life Insurance Company
-------------------------------------------------------
On December 17, 1998, the Company purchased all of the outstanding shares of
common stock of Consolidare Enterprises, Inc. ("Consolidare") which owned 57.4%
of the outstanding shares of common stock of Southern Security Life Insurance
Company ("Southern Security"). Since then the Company has purchased 265,770 of
additional shares of Southern Security and owns 71% of the outstanding shares.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis
------------------------------------
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
interest sensitive products; (ii) emphasis on cemetery and mortuary business;
and (iii) capitalizing on the strong economy in the United States by originating
and refinancing mortgage loans.
Results of Operations
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30,
1999
Total revenues increased by $6,770,000, or 18.4%, to $43,618,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000, from $36,849,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999. Contributing to this increase in total revenues was a
$6,612,000 increase in mortgage fee income and a $1,282,000 increase in net
investment income.
Insurance premiums and other considerations decreased by $87,000, or .9%, to
$9,921,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, from $10,008,000 for
the comparable period in 1999. This decrease was primarily the result of a
reduction in universal life policyholder income.
Net investment income increased by $1,282,000, or 16.7%, to $8,946,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000, from $7,664,000 for the comparable period
in 1999. This increase was primarily attributable to a greater number of loan
originations during the nine months of 2000 due to the expansion of business
activities in new geographic markets.
Net mortuary and cemetery sales decreased by $105,000, or 1.4%, to $7,532,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, from $7,637,000 for the comparable
period in 1999. This decrease was primarily due to fewer pre-need cemetery
sales.
Mortgage fee income increased by $6,612,000, or 63.1%, to $17,095,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000, from $10,483,000 for the comparable period
in 1999. This increase was primarily attributable to a greater number of loan
originations during the nine months of 2000 due to the expansion of business
activities in new geographic markets.
Total benefits and expenses were $42,850,000, or 98.2% of total revenues for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000, as compared to $35,737,000, or 97.0% of
total revenues for the comparable period in 1999.
Death benefits, surrenders and other policy benefits, and increase in future
policy benefits increased by an aggregate of $117,000, or 1.3%, to $8,865,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, from $8,748,000 for the comparable
period in 1999. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in
interest crediting for policyholder account balances.
Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and cost of insurance acquired
decreased by $212,000, or 5.6%, to $3,560,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, from $3,772,000 for the comparable period in 1999. This
decrease was in line with actuarial assumptions.
10
General and administrative expenses increased by $6,627,000, or 33.3%, to
$26,533,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, from $19,906,000 for
the comparable period in 1999. This increase primarily resulted from an increase
in commissions and other expenses due to additional mortgage loan originations
having been made by the Company's mortgage subsidiary during the nine months of
2000 due to the expansion of its business activities in new geographic markets.
Interest expense increased by $692,000, or 87.0%, to $1,487,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000, from $795,000 for the comparable period in
1999. This increase was primarily due to additional warehouse lines of credit
required for the additional mortgage loan originations by the Company's mortgage
subsidiary.
Cost of goods and services sold of the mortuaries and cemeteries decreased by
$112,000, or 4.4%, to $2,404,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000,
from $2,515,000 for the comparable period in 1999. This decrease was primarily
due to fewer pre-need cemetery sales.
Third Quarter of 2000 Compared to Third Quarter of 1999
Total revenues increased by $2,571,000, or 21.1%, to $14,731,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2000, from $12,160,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1999. Contributing to this increase in total revenues was a
$2,224,000 increase in mortgage fee income and a $735,000 increase in net
investment income.
Insurance premiums and other considerations decreased by $327,000, or 9.0%, to
$3,321,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000, from $3,648,000 for
the comparable period in 1999. This decrease was primarily the result of a
reduction in universal life policyholder income.
Net investment income increased by $735,000, or 31.7%, to $3,052,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 2000, from $2,317,000 for the comparable period
in 1999. This increase was primarily attributable to a greater number of loan
originations during the third quarter of 2000, due to the expansion of business
activities in new geographic markets.
Net mortuary and cemetery sales decreased by $33,000, or 1.4%, to $2,346,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 2000, from $2,379,000 for the comparable
period in 1999. This decrease was primarily due to fewer pre-need cemetery
sales.
Mortgage fee income increased by $2,224,000, or 59.1%, to $5,987,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 2000, from $3,763,000 for the comparable period
in 1999. This increase was primarily attributable to a greater number of loan
originations during the third quarter of 2000 due to the expansion of business
activities in new geographic markets.
Total benefits and expenses were $14,410,000, or 97.8% of total revenues for the
three months ended September 30 2000, as compared to $11,552,000, or 95.0% of
total revenues for the comparable period in 1999.
Death benefits, surrenders and other policy benefits, and increase in future
policy benefits increased by an aggregate of $423,000, or 17.7%, to $2,808,000
for the three months ended September 30, 2000, from $2,385,000 for the
comparable period in 1999. This increase was primarily the result of an increase
in interest crediting for policyholder account balances.
Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and cost of insurance acquired
decreased by $4,000, or .3%, to $1,242,000, for the three months ended September
30, 2000, from $1,246,000 for the comparable period in 1999. This decrease was
in line with actuarial assumptions.
General and administrative expenses increased by $2,198,000 or 32.2%, to
$9,023,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000, from $6,825,000 for
the comparable period in 1999. This increase primarily resulted from an increase
in commissions and other expenses due to additional mortgage loan originations
having been made by the Company's mortgage subsidiary during the third quarter
of 2000 as a result of the expansion of its business activities in new
geographic markets.
11
Interest expense increased by $288,000, or 94.5%, to $593,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2000, from $305,000 for the comparable period in
1999. This increase was primarily due to additional warehouse lines of credit
required for the additional mortgage loan originations by the Company's mortgage
subsidiary.
Cost of goods and services sold of the mortuaries and cemeteries decreased by
$48,000, or 6.0%, to $743,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000,
from $791,000 for the comparable period in 1999. This decrease was primarily due
to fewer pre-need cemetery sales.
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 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 warehouse 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 life
insurance subsidiaries amounted to $63,631,000 as of September 30, 2000,
compared to $63,749,000 as of December 31, 1999. This represents 59.4% and 58.5%
of the total insurance-related investments as of September 30, 2000, and
December 31, 1999, respectively. Generally, all bonds owned by the life
insurance subsidiaries are rated by the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners. Under this rating system, there are six categories used for
rating bonds. At September 30, 2000, 1.6% ($994,000) and at December 31, 1999,
1.6% ($994,000) of the Company's total investment in bonds were invested in
bonds in rating categories three through six, which are considered
non-investment grade.
The Company has classified certain of its fixed income securities, including
high-yield securities, in its portfolio as available for sale, with the
remainder classified as held to maturity. However, in accordance with Company
policy, any such securities purchased in the future will be classified as held
to maturity. Business conditions, however, may develop in the future which may
indicate a need for a higher level of liquidity in the investment portfolio. In
that event the Company believes it could sell short-term investment grade
securities before liquidating higher-yielding longer term securities.
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 September 30,
2000, and December 31, 1999, the life insurance subsidiary exceeded the
regulatory criteria.
The Company's total capitalization of stockholders' equity and bank debt and
notes payable was $39,355,000 as of September 30, 2000, as compared to
$41,144,000 as of December 31, 1999. Stockholders' equity as a percent of
capitalization increased to 67.0% as of September 30, 2000, from 64.4% as of
December 31, 1999.
12
Lapse rates measure the amount of insurance terminated during a particular
period. The Company's lapse rate for life insurance in 1999 was 13.2% as
compared to a rate of 6.0% for 1998. The 2000 lapse rate is approximately the
same as 1999.
At September 30, 2000, $20,819,000 of the Company's consolidated stockholders'
equity represents the statutory stockholders' equity of the Company's life
insurance subsidiaries. The life insurance subsidiaries cannot pay a dividend to
its parent company without the approval of insurance regulatory authorities.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure of Market Risk
There have been no significant changes since the annual report Form 10-K filed
for the year ended December 31, 1999.
Part II Other Information:
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Security National Mortgage Company ("Security National
Mortgage"), a wholly- owned subsidiary of the Company, has been
notified that it may be subject to an administrative action by
the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"). By
way of letter from HUD to Security National Mortgage dated
February 15, 2000 and received on February 25, 2000, Security
National Mortgage was advised "that the Mortgagee Review Board"
of HUD "is considering an administrative action against Security
National Mortgage ... pursuant to 24 CFR Part 25 ... and a civil
money penalty pursuant to 24 CFR part 30 ...." In the letter, HUD
set forth alleged violations of HUD/Federal Housing
Administration ("FHA") requirements which included among such
violations: (1) failure to comply with Security National
Mortgage's own policy and procedures outlined in a July 17, 1997
letter to HUD; (2) acceptance of loans originated by personnel
not employed by or not exclusively employed by Security National
Mortgage; (3) acceptance of loans originated by non-HUD approved
entities; (4) payment of fees and compensation to unauthorized
entities or individuals in connection with FHA insured mortgages;
and (5) certification of inaccurate HUD-1s.
Concerning the administrative action by HUD relating to the above
allegations, dependent upon the facts and circumstances, HUD
asserts it has alternatives such as settlement, issuing a letter
of reprimand, placing Security National Mortgage on probation or
even suspending or withdrawing Security National Mortgage's
approval function as a HUD/FHA lender. The letter indicates that
the Mortgagee Review Board intends to seek a civil money penalty.
With respect to any civil money penalty, which would be in
addition to the foregoing, the letter from HUD states that the
"amount of the civil money penalty shall not exceed $5,500 for
each such listed or described violation" and that a "continuing
violation may constitute a separate violation for each day that
violation continues."
A settlement was entered into between HUD and the Company.
Included in the settlement is an indemnification of HUD relative
to 18 identified loans including the providing of an irrevocable
letter of credit in the amount of $30,000 as additional security
for the indemnification, and payment of $75,000 as a civil money
penalty.
On or about March 6, 2000, Kelly Darrow ("Darrow") filed a Charge
of Discrimination with the Labor Commission of Utah,
Anti-Discrimination Division against Security National Mortgage
Company. It is asserted that Security National Mortgage violated
the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ("ADA") as amended,
and the Utah Anti-Discrimination Act of 1965 ("UAD") as amended,
for the alleged reasons of "demoted, denied promotion,
13
received less pay than others, denied reasonable accommodation
for ... disability, forced to go on contract vendor status, and
when ... complained of the treatment ... was fired." Darrow
withdrew the charge in favor of a "right to sue letter" so as to
be able to file a suit in federal court. Remedies which may be
sought include back pay and benefits, attorneys' fees,
reinstatement and punitive damages. This matter has been settled.
The Company is not a party to any other legal proceedings outside
the ordinary course of the Company's business or to any other
legal proceedings which, adversely determined, would have a
material adverse effect on the Company or its business.
