Note 13: Statutory Financial Information and Dividend Limitations | 13) Statutory Financial Information and Dividend Limitations The Company’s insurance subsidiaries prepare their statutory-basis financial statements in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the insurance department of the applicable state of domicile. Prescribed statutory accounting practices include a variety of publications of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”), as well as state laws, regulations and general administrative rules. Permitted statutory accounting practices encompass all accounting practices not so prescribed. All states require domiciled insurance companies to prepare statutory-basis financial statements in conformity with the NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual, subject to any deviations prescribed or permitted by the applicable insurance commissioner and/or director. Statutory accounting practices differ from GAAP primarily since they require charging policy acquisition and certain sales inducement costs to expense as incurred, establishing life insurance reserves based on different actuarial assumptions, and valuing certain investments and establishing deferred taxes on a different basis. Statutory net income and capital and surplus of the Company’s insurance subsidiaries, determined in accordance with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by insurance regulatory authorities are as follows:
| Net Income |  | Capital and Surplus
| 2015 |  | 2014 |  | 2013 |  | 2015 |  | 2014
Amounts by insurance subsidiary: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Security National Life Insurance Company | $ 3,478,338 |  | $ 5,137,208 |  | $ 1,283,311 |  | $ 32,771,066 |  | $ 34,356,157
Memorial Insurance Company of America | 49 |  | 415 |  | 237 |  | 1,082,059 |  | 1,082,587
Southern Security Life Insurance Company, Inc. | 491 |  | 467 |  | 1,288 |  | 1,590,605 |  | 1,590,424
Trans-Western Life Insurance Company | (52) |  | 1,304 |  | 1,906 |  | 499,130 |  | 499,182
Total | $ 3,478,826 |  | $ 5,139,394 |  | $ 1,286,742 |  | $ 35,942,860 |  | $ 37,528,350
The Utah, Arkansas, Mississippi and Texas Insurance Departments impose minimum risk-based capital requirements (“RBC”) that were developed by the NAIC on insurance enterprises. The formulas for determining the RBC specify various factors that are applied to financial balances or various levels of activity based on the perceived degree of risk. Regulatory compliance is determined by a ratio (the “Ratio”) of the enterprise’s regulatory total adjusted capital, as defined by the NAIC, to its authorized control level, as defined by the NAIC. Enterprises below specific trigger points or ratios are classified within certain levels, each of which requires specified corrective action. The life insurance subsidiaries have a combined weighted Ratio that is greater than the first level of regulatory action as of December 31, 2015. Generally, the net assets of the life insurance subsidiaries available for transfer to the Company are limited to the amounts of the life insurance subsidiaries net assets, as determined in accordance with statutory accounting practices, which were $35,942,860 at December 31, 2015, exceed minimum statutory capital requirements; however, payments of such amounts as dividends are subject to approval by regulatory authorities.

- Definition Tabular disclosure of how the entity's reporting under GAAP as of the balance sheet date differs from the results based on prescribed and permitted accounting practices of the state or country of domicile in which a relevant statutory filing is made, or differences in results based on the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) prescribed practices, or a combination thereof. Describes the accounting practices used and the related monetary effect on statutory surplus, net income, and risk-based capital. If an insurance enterprise's risk-based capital would have triggered a regulatory event had it not used a permitted practice, that fact is disclosed in the financial statements. Permitted statutory accounting practices include practices not prescribed but allowed by the domiciliary state insurance department regulatory authority. + References Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 944 -SubTopic 505 -Section 50 -Paragraph 3 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6486098&loc=d3e24746-158529 Reference 2: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 944 -SubTopic 210 -Section S99 -Paragraph 1 -Subparagraph (SX 210.7-03.23(c)) -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6879938&loc=d3e572229-122910 Reference 3: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 944 -SubTopic 505 -Section 50 -Paragraph 6 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6486098&loc=d3e24790-158529 Reference 4: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 944 -SubTopic 505 -Section 55 -Paragraph 1 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6588579&loc=d3e24938-158530 Reference 5: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 944 -SubTopic 505 -Section 50 -Paragraph 1 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6486098&loc=d3e24708-158529 Reference 6: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 944 -SubTopic 505 -Section 55 -Paragraph 2 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6588579&loc=d3e24959-158530 + Details
