<div style="TEXT-INDENT: 36pt; DISPLAY: block; MARGIN-LEFT: 0pt; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0pt" align="justify"><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">The complaint alleges, among other claims, material breach of the Indemnification Agreement, including a claim that neither Lehman Bank nor Aurora Loan Services owned the mortgage loans that SecurityNational Mortgage sold so as to justify the amount of payments demanded from, and made by, SecurityNational Mortgage. As a result, SecurityNational Mortgage claims it is entitled to judgment of approximately $4,000,000 against Lehman Bank, as well as Aurora Loan Services to the extent of its involvement and complicity with Lehman Bank. The complaint also alleges a second claim for material breach of a section of the Indemnification Agreement that contains an alleged &#8220;sunset&#8221; provision and that the amount of the requested payments made was not justified under the &#8220;sunset&#8221; provision.</font></div>

<div style="TEXT-INDENT: 36pt; DISPLAY: block; MARGIN-LEFT: 0pt; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0pt" align="justify"><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">On June 8, 2011, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (&#8220;Lehman Holdings&#8221;) which had filed for bankruptcy in September 2008, filed a complaint against SecurityNational Mortgage in the United States District Court for the District of Utah. A subsidiary of Lehman Holdings owns Lehman Bank. The complaint alleges that SecurityNational Mortgage sold loans to Lehman Bank, which were then sold to Lehman Holdings. The complaint additionally alleges that Lehman Bank and Aurora Loan Services assigned their rights and remedies under the loan purchase agreement, as well as the Indemnification Agreement, to Lehman Holdings, which latter assignment purportedly took place on March 28, 2011. Lehman Holdings declared in a letter dated June 2, 2011 that the Indemnification Agreement was null and void except as to losses previously released and discharged, which is disputed by SecurityNational Mortgage.</font></div>

<div style="TEXT-INDENT: 36pt; DISPLAY: block; MARGIN-LEFT: 0pt; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0pt" align="justify"><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Lehman Holdings&#8217; alleged claims are for damages for breach of contract and breach of warranty pursuant to a loan purchase agreement and Seller&#8217;s Guide. Based on claiming that the Indemnification Agreement is null and void pursuant to its lawsuit, Lehman Holdings has initially claimed damages in excess of $5,000,000. Prior to declaring the Indemnification Agreement null and void, Lehman Holdings claimed in a then recent billing statement under the terms of the Indemnification Agreement, that SecurityNational Mortgage owed approximately $3,745,000 for mortgage loan losses under the Indemnification Agreement. SecurityNational Mortgage strongly disagrees with the position of Lehman Holdings and, as set forth in its May 11, 2011 complaint, seeks affirmative relief of approximately $4,000,000 from Lehman Bank and Aurora Loan Services, which are affiliates of Lehman Holdings.</font></div>

<div style="TEXT-INDENT: 36pt; DISPLAY: block; MARGIN-LEFT: 0pt; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0pt" align="justify"><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">On September 4, 2012, SecurityNational Mortgage filed a motion for summary judgment in its action against Lehman Bank and Aurora Loan Services on certain material issues, as well as against Lehman Holdings regarding its claims against SecurityNational Mortgage. Lehman Bank and Aurora Loan Services filed a cross motion for summary judgment as to the issues in SecurityNational Mortgage&#8217;s motion and, in the Lehman Holdings case, Lehman Holdings has requested that the Court allow a cross motion on the issues which are the subject of SecurityNational Mortgage&#8217;s September 4, 2012 motion. The cases are before two different federal judges.</font></div>

After an extensive hearing, Judge Nuffer requested that the parties prepare findings of fact in accordance with the Court&#8217;s earlier promulgated findings as modified at the haring, and that each party submit proposed conclusions of law related to the motions. The motion and cross motion were taken under advisement. SecurityNational Mortgage&#8217;s motion in the Lehman Holdings case was heard on April 22, 2014 before Judge Ted Stewart of the United States District Court for the District of Utah, and is under advisement.</font></div>

On May 27, 2014, Lehman Bank and Aurora Loan Services filed a motion to reconsider Judge Nuffer&#8217;s summary judgment ruling. On June 2, 2014, a hearing was held before Judge Nuffer to determine the amount owing to SecurityNational Mortgage pursuant to the summary judgment ruling. On December 23, 2014, Judge Nuffer issued an order denying Lehman Bank&#8217;s and Aurora Loan Services&#8217;s motion for reconsideration of his summary judgment ruling in favor of SecurityNational Mortgage.</font></div>

The amended order provided that the amount of monies previously paid by SecurityNational Mortgage that were applied by Lehman Bank to losses on loans actually owed by Lehman Holdings, as established at the June 2, 2014 hearing, was $3,892,974. The amended order also provided for prejudgment interest at 9% per annum to SecurityNational Mortgage. The total amount of prejudgement interest awarded is $1,674,240 through May 31, 2014, with a per diem of $960 for each day after May 31, 2014 until judgment. The court also commented that further replenishment of the indemnification fund under the Indemnification Agreement appears to be barred by language in the assignment effecting a waiver, but that this issue had not been briefed before the June 2, 2014 hearing. In addition, the court stated that the offset that Lehman Bank and Aurora Loan Services pled as an affirmative defense had not yet been adjudicated by the court. Finally, the court ordered the parties to meet and confer by January 16, 2015, and to file a motion to schedule the disposition of the remaining issues in the case. The motion is to clarify whether any issues other than the offset remain to be resolved.</font></div>

The supplemental briefing is due by January 16, 2015. Judge Stewart also granted leave for SecurityNational Mortgage to file an additional motion for summary judgment in the Lehman Holdings case on the basis that the claims of Lehman Holdings are barred by the statute of limitations. The motion is also to be filed by January 16, 2015. The August 11, 2014 trial setting before Judge Stewart in the Lehman Holdings case was stricken without providing a new trial date.</font></div>
