Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2016 (Unaudited)
1) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10‑Q and Articles 8 and 10 of Regulation S‑X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2015, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K (file number 000-09341). 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, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 value of interest rate locks and commitments, those used in determining deferred acquisition costs and the value of business acquired, those used in determining the value of mortgage loans foreclosed to real estate held for investment, those used in determining the liability for future policy benefits and unearned revenue, those used in determining the estimated future costs for pre-need sales, those used in determining the value of mortgage servicing rights, those used in determining valuation allowances for mortgage loans on real estate, those used in determining loan loss reserve, and those used in determining deferred tax assets and liabilities. Although some variability is inherent in these estimates, management believes the amounts provided are fairly stated in all material respects.
2) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
ASU No. 2016-13: "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326)" – Issued in June 2016, ASU 2016-13 amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities. For assets held at amortized cost basis, Topic 326 eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and, instead, requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial assets to present the net amount expected to be collected. For available for sale debt securities, credit losses should be measured in a manner similar to current GAAP, however Topic 326 will require that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down. The new authoritative guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is in the process of evaluating the potential impact of this standard.
ASU No. 2016-02: "Leases (Topic 842)" - Issued in February 2016, ASU 2016-02 supersedes the leases requirements in ASC Topic 840, "Leases", and was issued to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The new authoritative guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is in the process of evaluating the potential impact of this standard.
ASU No. 2016-01: "Financial Instruments – Overall (Topic 825-10)" – Issued in January 2016, ASU 2016-01 changes the accounting for non-consolidated equity investments that are not accounted for under the equity method of accounting by requiring changes in fair value to be recognized in income. Under current guidance, changes in fair value for investments of this nature are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of stockholders' equity. Additionally, ASU 2016-01 simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values; requires entities to use the exit price when estimating the fair value of financial instruments; and modifies various presentation disclosure requirements for financial instruments. The new authoritative guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is in the process of evaluating the potential impact of this standard.

2) Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
ASU No. 2014-09: "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)" - Issued in May 2014, ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition", and requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Insurance contracts are excluded from the scope of this new guidance. The new authoritative guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is in the process of evaluating the potential impact of this standard, which is not expected to be material to the Company's results of operations or financial position.
The Company has reviewed other recent accounting pronouncements and has determined that they will not significantly impact the Company's results of operations or financial position.

The average market value of the related fixed maturities was 93.3% and 87.2% of amortized cost as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 an other than temporary decline in fair value resulted in the recognition of credit losses on fixed maturity securities of $30,000 for each reporting period, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 an other than temporary decline in fair value resulted in the recognition of credit losses on fixed maturity securities of $90,000 for each reporting period.
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.

The average market value of the equity securities available for sale was 78.4% and 74.7% of the original investment as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 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 September 30, 2016 and 2015, an other than temporary decline in the fair value resulted in the recognition of an impairment loss on equity securities of $-0- and $26,290, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, an other than temporary decline in the fair value resulted in the recognition of an impairment loss on equity securities of $43,630 and $77,497, 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.

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 14 commercial properties in 8 states. These properties include industrial warehouses, office buildings, and retail centers and includes the redevelopment and expansion of its corporate campus at 53rd South which broke ground in December 2015 with a net ending balance of $15,913,913. The assets are primarily held without debt; however, the Company does use debt in strategic cases to leverage established yields or to acquire higher quality, or class, of asset.

Residential Real Estate Held for Investment
The Company owns a portfolio of residential homes primarily as a result of loan foreclosures. The strategy has been to lease these homes to produce cash flow, and allow time for the economic fundamentals to return to the various markets. As an orderly and active market for these homes returns, the Company has the option to dispose or to continue and hold them for cash flow and acceptable returns.
The Company established Security National Real Estate Services ("SNRE") in 2013 to manage the residential portfolio. SNRE cultivates and maintains the preferred vendor relationships necessary to manage costs and quality of work performed on the portfolio of homes across the country.
As of September 30, 2016, SNRE manages 132 residential properties in 8 states across the United States which includes a newly constructed apartment complex, Dry Creek at East Village, in Sandy, Utah with a net ending balance of $36,082,825.

Real Estate Owned and Occupied by the Company
The primary business units of the Company occupy a portion of the real estate owned by the Company. Currently, the Company occupies nearly 80,000 square feet, or 10% of the overall commercial real estate holdings.
As of September 30, 2016, 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 | %

(1) This asset is included in property and equipment on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet |  |  |  |  |

Mortgage Loans
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 three 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 September 30, 2016, the Company had 48%, 14%, 9%, 8%, and 5% of its mortgage loans from borrowers located in the states of Utah, California, Texas, Florida, and Oregon, respectively. The mortgage loans on real estate balances on the consolidated balance sheet are reflected net of an allowance for loan losses of $2,231,362 and $1,848,120 at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Credit Risk Profile Based on Performance Status
The Company's mortgage loan portfolio is monitored based on performance of the loans. Monitoring a mortgage loan increases when the loan is delinquent or earlier if there is an indication of impairment. The Company defines non-performing mortgage loans as loans 90 days or greater delinquent or on non-accrual status.
The Company's performing and non-performing mortgage loans were as follows:

Mortgage Loan Credit Exposure |
Credit Risk Profile Based on Payment Activity |
|  | Commercial |  |  | Residential |  |  | Residential Construction |  |  | Total |
|  | September 30, 2016 |  |  | December 31, 2015 |  |  | September 30, 2016 |  |  | December 31, 2015 |  |  | September 30, 2016 |  |  | December 31, 2015 |  |  | September 30, 2016 |  |  | December 31, 2015 |

Total |  | $ | 39,747,671 |  |  | $ | 33,522,978 |  |  | $ | 50,346,379 |  |  | $ | 46,020,490 |  |  | $ | 42,011,069 |  |  | $ | 34,851,557 |  |  | $ | 132,105,119 |  |  | $ | 114,395,025 |

Non-Accrual Mortgage Loans
Once a loan is past due 90 days, it is the policy of the Company to end the accrual of interest income on the loan and write off any income that had been accrued. Interest not accrued on these loans totals $188,000 and $268,000 as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.
The following is a summary of mortgage loans on a nonaccrual status for the periods presented.

|  | Mortgage Loans on Nonaccrual Status |
|  | As of September 30 2016 |  |  | As of December 31 2015 |
Commercial |  | $ | 202,721 |  |  | $ | - |
Residential |  |  | 4,351,343 |  |  |  | 5,300,154 |
Residential construction |  |  | 467,895 |  |  |  | 158,164 |
Total |  | $ | 5,021,959 |  |  | $ | 5,458,318 |

Loan Loss Reserve
When a repurchase demand is received from a third party investor, the relevant data is reviewed and captured so that an estimated future loss can be calculated. 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 September 30 2016 |  |  | As of December 31 2015 |
Balance, beginning of period |  | $ | 2,805,900 |  |  | $ | 1,718,150 |
Provisions for losses |  |  | 2,853,690 |  |  |  | 6,295,043 |
Charge-offs |  |  | (333,288 | ) |  |  | (5,207,293 | )
Balance, end of period |  | $ | 5,326,302 |  |  | $ | 2,805,900 |

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.

4) Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has four fixed option plans (the "2003 Plan", the "2006 Director Plan", the "2013 Plan" and the "2014 Director Plan"). Compensation expense for options issued of $84,949 and $88,510 has been recognized for these plans for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $253,427 and $299,986 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As of September 30, 2016, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to the options issued in December 2015 was $59,161, which is expected to be recognized over the vesting period of one year.
The Company generally estimates the expected life of the options based upon the contractual term of the options adjusted for actual experience. Future volatility is estimated based upon the a weighted historical volatility of the Company's Class A common stock and three peer company stocks over a period equal to the estimated life of the options. Common stock issued upon exercise of stock options are generally new share issuances rather than from treasury shares.
A summary of the status of the Company's stock incentive plans as of September 30, 2016, and the changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, are presented below:

6) Business Segments
Description of Products and Services by Segment
The Company has three reportable business segments: life insurance, cemetery and mortuary, and mortgage. The Company's life insurance segment consists of life insurance premiums and operating expenses from the sale of insurance products sold by the Company's independent agency force and net investment income derived from investing policyholder and segment surplus funds. The Company's cemetery and mortuary segment consists of revenues and operating expenses from the sale of at-need cemetery and mortuary merchandise and services at its mortuaries and cemeteries, pre-need sales of cemetery spaces after collection of 10% or more of the purchase price and the net investment income from investing segment surplus funds. The Company's mortgage segment consists of fee income and expenses from the originations of residential mortgage loans and interest earned and interest expenses from warehousing pre-sold loans before the funds are received from financial institutional investors.
Measurement of Segment Profit or Loss and Segment Assets
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the Significant Accounting Principles of the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Intersegment revenues are recorded at cost plus an agreed upon intercompany profit, and are eliminated upon consolidation.
Factors Management Used to Identify the Enterprise's Reportable Segments
The Company's reportable segments are business units that are managed separately due to the different products provided and the need to report separately to the various regulatory jurisdictions. The Company regularly reviews the quantitative thresholds and other criteria to determine when other business segments may need to be reported.

7) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. GAAP also specifies a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions. Fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:
Level 1: Financial assets and financial liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the Company can access.
Level 2: Financial assets and financial liabilities whose values are based on the following:
a) Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
b) Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets; or
c) Valuation models whose inputs are observable, directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3: Financial assets and financial liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs may reflect the Company's estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the financial assets and financial liabilities.
The Company utilizes a combination of third party valuation service providers, brokers, and internal valuation models to determine fair value.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value disclosures related to other significant financial instruments:
The items shown under Level 1 and Level 2 are valued as follows:
Securities Available for Sale and Held to Maturity: The fair values of investments in fixed maturity and equity securities along with methods used to estimate such values are disclosed in Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Statements.
Restricted Assets: A portion of these assets include mutual funds and equity securities that have quoted market prices. Also included are cash and cash equivalents and participations in mortgage loans. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet for these financial instruments approximate their fair values.
Cemetery Perpetual Care Trust Investments: A portion of these assets include equity securities that have quoted market prices. Also included are cash and cash equivalents. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet for these financial instruments approximate their fair values.
Call and Put Options: The Company uses quoted market prices to value its call and put options.
The items shown under Level 3 are valued as follows:
Policyholder Account Balances and Future Policy Benefits-Annuities: Future policy benefit reserves for interest-sensitive insurance products are computed under a retrospective deposit method and represent policy account balances before applicable surrender charges. Policy benefits and claims that are charged to expense include benefit claims incurred in the period in excess of related policy account balances. Interest crediting rates for interest-sensitive insurance products ranged from 4% to 6.5%. The fair values for the Company's liabilities under investment-type insurance contracts (disclosed as policyholder account balances and future policy benefits – annuities) are estimated based on the contracts' cash surrender values.

7) Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)
The fair values for the Company's insurance contracts other than investment-type contracts are not required to be disclosed. However, the fair values of liabilities under all insurance contracts are taken into consideration in the Company's overall management of interest rate risk, such that the Company's exposure to changing interest rates is minimized through the matching of investment maturities with amounts due under insurance contracts.
Interest Rate Lock Commitments: The Company's mortgage banking activities enters into interest rate lock commitments with potential borrowers and forward commitments to sell loans to third-party investors. The Company also implements a hedging strategy for these transactions. A mortgage loan commitment binds the Company to lend funds to a qualified borrower at a specified interest rate and within a specified period of time, generally up to 30 days after inception of the mortgage loan commitment. Mortgage loan commitments are defined to be derivatives under generally accepted accounting principles and are recognized at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet with changes in their fair values recorded as part of other comprehensive income from mortgage banking operations.
The Company estimates the fair value of a mortgage loan commitment based on the change in estimated fair value of the underlying mortgage loan and the probability that the mortgage loan will fund within the terms of the commitment. The change in fair value of the underlying mortgage loan is measured from the date the mortgage loan commitment is issued. Therefore, at the time of issuance, the estimated fair value is zero. Following issuance, the value of a mortgage loan commitment can be either positive or negative depending upon the change in value of the underlying mortgage loans. Fallout rates derived from the Company's recent historical empirical data are used to estimate the quantity of mortgage loans that will fund within the terms of the commitments.
Bank Loan Interest Rate Swaps: Management considers the interest rate swap instruments to be an effective cash flow hedge against the variable interest rate on bank borrowings since the interest rate swap mirrors the term of the note payable and expires on the maturity date of the bank loan it hedges. The interest rate swaps are derivative financial instruments carried at their fair value. The fair value of the interest rate swap was derived from a proprietary model of the bank from whom the interest rate swap was purchased and to whom the note is payable.
Other Investments: The fair values are estimated using one or more valuation techniques for which sufficient and reliable data is available. Factors considered when estimating the fair value include the original transaction price, recent transactions in the same or similar properties, historical lease rates, comparable lease rates of similar properties, discount rates, market capitalization rates, expected vacancy rates, and changes in financial ratios or cash flow.
Mortgage Loans on Real Estate: The fair values are estimated using interest rates currently being offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings. Loans with similar characteristics are aggregated for purposes of the calculations. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet for these financial instruments approximate their fair values.
Real Estate Held for Investment: The Company believes that in an orderly market, fair value will approximate the replacement cost of a home and the rental income provides a cash flow stream for investment analysis. The Company believes the highest and best use of the properties are as income producing assets since it is the Company's intent to hold the properties as rental properties, matching the income from the investment in rental properties with the funds required for future estimated policy claims.
It should be noted that for replacement cost, when determining the fair value of mortgage properties, the Company uses Marshall and Swift, a provider of building cost information to the real estate construction industry. For the investment analysis, the Company used market data based upon its real estate operation experience and projected the present value of the net rental income over seven years. The Company used 20% of the projected cash flow analysis and 80% of the replacement cost to approximate fair value of the collateral.
In addition to this analysis performed by the Company, the Company depreciates Real Estate Held for Investment. This depreciation reduces the book value of these properties and lessens the exposure to the Company from further deterioration in real estate values.

7) Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)
Mortgage Servicing Rights: The Company initially recognizes Mortgage Servicing Rights ("MSRs") at their estimated fair values derived from the net cash flows associated with the servicing contracts, where the Company assumes the obligation to service the loan in the sale transaction. The precise fair value of MSRs cannot be readily determined because MSRs are not actively traded in stand-alone markets. Considerable judgment is required to estimate the fair values of these assets and the exercise of such judgment can significantly affect the Company's earnings.
The Company's subsequent accounting for MSRs is based on the class of MSRs. The Company has identified two classes of MSRs: MSRs backed by mortgage loans with initial term of 30 years and MSRs backed by mortgage loans with initial term of 15 years. The Company distinguishes between these classes of MSRs due to their differing sensitivities to change in value as the result of changes in market. After being initially recorded at fair value, MSRs backed by mortgage loans are accounted for using the amortization method. MSR amortization is determined by amortizing the balance straight-line over an estimated seven and nine year life.
The Company periodically assesses MSRs for impairment. Impairment occurs when the current fair value of the MSR falls below the asset's carrying value (carrying value is the amortized cost reduced by any related valuation allowance). If MSRs are impaired, the impairment is recognized in current-period earnings and the carrying value of the MSRs is adjusted through a valuation allowance.
Management periodically reviews the various loan strata to determine whether the value of the MSRs in a given stratum is impaired and likely to recover. When management deems recovery of the value to be unlikely in the foreseeable future, a write-down of the cost of the MSRs for that stratum to its estimated recoverable value is charged to the valuation allowance.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Carried at Other Than Fair Value
ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value.
Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Company's financial instruments; however, there are inherent limitations in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in a sales transaction at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The estimated fair value amounts for September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 have been measured as of period-end, and have not been reevaluated or updated for purposes of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements subsequent to those dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the reporting date may be different than the amounts reported at period-end.
The carrying values and estimated fair values for such financial instruments, and their corresponding placement in the fair value hierarchy, are summarized as follows as of September 30, 2016:

|  | Carrying Value |  |  | Level 1 |  |  | Level 2 |  |  | Level 3 |  |  | Total Estimated Fair Value |

The methods, assumptions and significant valuation techniques and inputs used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are summarized as follows:
Mortgage Loans on Real Estate: The estimated fair value of the Company's mortgage loans is determined using various methods. The Company's mortgage loans are grouped into three categories: Residential, Residential Construction and Commercial. When estimating the expected future cash flows, it is assumed that all loans will be held to maturity, and any loans that are non-performing are evaluated individually for impairment.
Residential – The estimated fair value of mortgage loans originated prior to 2013 is determined by estimating expected future cash flows of interest payments and discounting them using current interest rates from single family mortgages. The estimated fair value of mortgage loans originated in 2013 thru 2016 is determined from pricing of similar loans that were sold in 2014 and 2015
Residential Construction – These loans are primarily short in maturity (4-6 months) accordingly, the estimated fair value is determined to be the net book value.
Commercial – The estimated fair value is determined by estimating expected future cash flows of interest payments and discounting them using current interest rates for commercial mortgages.
Policy Loans and Other Investments: The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet for these financial instruments approximate their fair values.
Short-Term Investments: The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet for these financial instruments approximate their fair values.
Bank and Other Loans Payable: The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet for these financial instruments approximate their fair values.

8) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, Allowance for Loan Losses and Impaired Loans
The Company records an allowance and recognizes an expense for potential losses from mortgage loans, other loans and receivables in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Receivables are the result of cemetery and mortuary operations, mortgage loan operations and life insurance operations. The allowance is based upon the Company's historical experience for collectively evaluated impairment. Other allowances are based upon receivables individually evaluated for impairment. Collectability of the cemetery and mortuary receivables is significantly influenced by current economic conditions. The critical issues that impact recovery of mortgage loan operations are interest rate risk, loan underwriting, new regulations and the overall economy.
The Company provides allowances for losses on its mortgage loans held for investment through an allowance for loan losses. 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. See the schedules in Note 3 for additional information. In addition, when a mortgage loan is past due more than 90 days, the Company does not accrue any interest income. When a loan becomes delinquent, the Company proceeds to foreclose on the real estate and all expenses for foreclosure are expensed as incurred. Once foreclosed, an adjustment for the lower of cost or fair value is made, if necessary, and the amount is classified as real estate held for investment. The Company will rent the properties until it is deemed desirable to sell them.
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.
9) Derivative Commitments
Interest Rate Locks and Commitments
The Company is exposed to price risk due to the potential impact of changes in interest rates on the values of mortgage loan commitments from the time a derivative loan commitment is made to an applicant to the time the loan that would result from the exercise of that loan commitment is funded. Managing price risk is complicated by the fact that the ultimate percentage of derivative loan commitments that will be exercised (i.e., the number of loan commitments that will be funded) fluctuates. The probability that a loan will not be funded within the terms of the commitment is driven by a number of factors, particularly the change, if any, in mortgage rates following the inception of the interest rate lock. However, many borrowers continue to exercise derivative loan commitments even when interest rates have fallen.
In general, the probability of funding increases if mortgage rates rise and decreases if mortgage rates fall. This is due primarily to the relative attractiveness of current mortgage rates compared to the applicant's committed rate. The probability that a loan will not be funded within the terms of the mortgage loan commitment also is influenced by the source of the applications (retail or broker channels), proximity to rate lock expiration, purpose for the loan (purchase or refinance) product type and the application approval status. The Company has developed fallout estimates using historical data that take into account all of the variables, as well as renegotiations of rate and point commitments that tend to occur when mortgage rates fall. These fallout estimates are used to estimate the number of loans that the Company expects to be funded within the terms of the mortgage loan commitments and are updated periodically to reflect the most current data.
The Company estimates the fair value of a mortgage loan commitment based on the change in estimated fair value of the underlying mortgage loan and the probability that the mortgage loan will fund within the terms of the commitment. The change in fair value of the underlying mortgage loan is measured from the date the mortgage loan commitment is issued. Therefore, at the time of issuance, the estimated fair value is zero. Following issuance, the value of a mortgage loan commitment can be either positive or negative depending upon the change in value of the underlying mortgage loans. Fallout rates derived from the Company's recent historical empirical data are used to estimate the quantity of mortgage loans that will fund within the terms of the commitments. The Company utilizes forward loan sales commitments to economically hedge the price risk associated with its outstanding mortgage loan commitments. A forward loan sales commitment protects the Company from losses on sales of the loans arising from exercise of the loan commitments by securing the ultimate sales price and delivery date of the loans. Management expects these derivatives will experience changes in fair value opposite to changes in fair value of the derivative loan commitments, thereby reducing earnings volatility related to the recognition in earnings of changes in the values of the commitments.

9) Derivative Commitments (Continued)
Call and Put Options
The Company uses a strategy of selling "out of the money" call options on its available for sale equity securities as a source of revenue. The options give the purchaser the right to buy from the Company specified equity securities at a set price up to a pre-determined date in the future. The Company uses the strategy of selling put options as a means of generating cash or purchasing equity securities at lower than current market prices. The Company receives an immediate payment of cash for the value of the option and establishes a liability for the fair value of the option. In the event an option is exercised, the Company recognizes a gain on the sale of the equity security and a gain from the sale of the option. If the option expires unexercised, the Company recognizes a gain from the sale of the option.
The following table shows the fair value of derivatives as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

10) Reinsurance, Commitments and Contingencies
Reinsurance
Reinsurance Agreement with North America Life Insurance Company
On May 8, 2015, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Security National Life, signed a paid-up business offer under the coinsurance agreement effective December 1, 2010 to reinsure certain life insurance policies from North America Life Insurance Company ("North America Life"). Pursuant to the paid-up business offer, North America Life ceded and transferred to Security National Life all contractual obligations and risks under the coinsured policies. Security National Life paid a ceding commission to North America Life in the amount of $281,908. As a result of the ceding commission, North America Life transferred $8,900,282 of cash and $9,182,190 in statutory reserves, or liabilities, to Security National Life.
Reinsurance Agreement with American Republic Insurance Company
On February 11, 2015, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Security National Life, signed a coinsurance agreement to reinsure certain life insurance policies from American Republic Insurance Company ("American Republic"). The policies were previously reinsured by North America Life under a coinsurance agreement between World Insurance Company ("World Insurance") and North America Life entered into on July 22, 2009 which was commuted. World Insurance was subsequently purchased by and merged into American Republic. The current coinsurance agreement is between Security National Life and American Republic and became effective on January 1, 2015. As part of the coinsurance agreement, American Republic transferred all contractual obligations and risks to Security National Life and Security National Life took control of $15,004,771 of assets in a trust account held by Texas Capital Bank as the trustee. The assets have subsequently been moved to a trust account held by Zions Bank as the trustee.
Mortgage Loan Loss Settlements
Future loan losses can be extremely difficult to estimate. However, management believes that the Company's reserve methodology and its current practice of property preservation allow it to estimate its potential losses on loans sold. The amounts expensed for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were $1,438,000 and $1,755,000 respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were $2,853,000 and $4,674,000, respectively. The estimated liability for indemnification losses is included in other liabilities and accrued expenses and, as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the balances were $5,326,000 and $2,806,000, respectively.
Settlement of Investigation by U.S. Department of Justice and the Office of the Inspector General for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) of Certain FHA-Insured Mortgage Loans Originated
On September 30, 2016, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, SecurityNational Mortgage Company ("SecurityNational Mortgage") announced the execution of a settlement agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") and the United States Attorney's Office in connection with the origination and underwriting by SecurityNational Mortgage of certain Federal Housing Administration (FHA) insured loans. Pursuant to the agreement, SecurityNational Mortgage is required to make a payment in the amount of $4,250,000 to the DOJ within ten days from the effective date of the settlement agreement. Payment was made to the DOJ on October 4, 2016.
SecurityNational Mortgage made no admission of liability or fault, but chose to resolve the matter through a settlement agreement rather than engage in protracted and costly litigation. SecurityNational Mortgage continues to be able to participate fully in all Federal Housing Administration (FHA) programs as this settlement agreement does not affect SecurityNational Mortgage's status with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). In addition, this settlement does not include any allegations or findings against any particular individuals, such as officers, directors, employees or agents of SecurityNational Mortgage.

10) Reinsurance, Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)
Prior to executing the settlement agreement, SecurityNational Mortgage, like many other high volume FHA- approved lenders, was being reviewed by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Office of the Inspector General of HUD for loan origination activities that occurred as long as nine years ago. Without any admission of liability and in order to avoid the extended distractions and expenses associated with protracted litigation, SecurityNational Mortgage made a business decision to resolve this matter. This settlement in no way affects SecurityNational Mortgage's ability to originate FHA-insured mortgage loans in the future.
Mortgage Loan Loss Litigation
For a description of the litigation involving SecurityNational Mortgage and Lehman Brothers and Aurora Loan Services, reference is to Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
Other Contingencies and Commitments
The Company has entered into commitments to fund new residential construction loans. As of September 30, 2016, the Company's commitments were $60,623,000 for these loans of which $42,011,000 had been funded. The Company will advance funds once the work has been completed and an independent inspection is made. The maximum loan commitment ranges between 50% and 80% of appraised value. The Company receives fees from the borrowers and the interest rate is generally 2% to 6.75% over the bank prime rate (3.50% as of September 30, 2016). Maturities range between six and twelve months.
The Company belongs to a captive insurance group for certain casualty insurance, worker compensation and liability programs. Insurance reserves are maintained relative to these programs. The level of exposure from catastrophic events is limited by the purchase of stop-loss and aggregate liability reinsurance coverage. When estimating the insurance liabilities and related reserves, the captive insurance management considers a number of factors, which include historical claims experience, demographic factors, severity factors and valuations provided by independent third-party actuaries. If actual claims or adverse development of loss reserves occurs and exceed these estimates, additional reserves may be required. The estimation process contains uncertainty since captive insurance management must use judgment to estimate the ultimate cost that will be incurred to settle reported claims and unreported claims for incidents incurred but not reported as of the balance sheet date. At September 30, 2016, $795,183 of reserves was established related to such insurance programs versus $834,855 at December 31, 2015.
The Company is a defendant in various other legal actions arising from the normal conduct of business. Management believes that none of the actions will have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. Based on management's assessment and legal counsel's representations concerning the likelihood of unfavorable outcomes, no amounts have been accrued for the above claims in the consolidated financial statements.
The Company is not a party to any other material legal proceedings outside the ordinary course of business or to any other legal proceedings, which, if adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

12) Acquisitions
Acquisition of First Guaranty Insurance Company
On July 11, 2016, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Security National Life completed the stock purchase transaction with the shareholders of Reppond Holding Corporation, an Arkansas corporation ("Reppond Holding") and sole shareholder of First Guaranty Insurance Company, a Louisiana domestic stock legal reserve life insurance company ("First Guaranty"), to purchase all the outstanding shares of common stock of Reppond Holding. Under the terms of the stock purchase agreement, dated February 17, 2016, between Security National Life and Reppond Holding, which was later amended on March 4 and 17, 2016, Security National Life paid a total of $6,753,000 at the closing in consideration for the purchase of all the outstanding shares of stock of Reppond Holding from its shareholders. Reppond Holding holds all of the outstanding shares of common stock of First Guaranty.
The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to adjustment during the first twelve months after the acquisition date if additional information becomes available to indicate a more accurate or appropriate value for an asset or liability. As the acquisition was completed at quarter end, the fair values of substantially all of the net assets are considered preliminary.

Total liabilities assumed |  |  | (52,721,777 | )
Fair value of net assets acquired/consideration paid |  | $ | 6,753,000 |

The estimated fair value of the fixed maturity securities and the equity securities is based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in an active market. These types of financial assets are considered Level 1 under the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value of future life, annuity, and other benefits is based on assumptions of the future value of the business acquired. Based on the unobservable nature of certain of these assumptions, the valuation for these financial liabilities is considered to be Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy. The Company determined that the estimated fair value of the remaining assets and liabilities acquired approximated their book values.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
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 traditional whole life products; (ii) emphasis on cemetery and mortuary business; and (iii) capitalizing on relatively low interest rates and an improved housing market by originating mortgage loans.
Insurance Operations
The Company's insurance business includes funeral plans, interest sensitive life insurance, as well as other traditional life and accident insurance, and health insurance products. The Company places specific marketing emphasis on funeral plans through pre-need planning.
A funeral plan is a small face value life insurance policy that generally has face coverage of up to $25,000. The Company believes that funeral plans represent a marketing niche that has less competition because most insurance companies do not offer similar coverage. The purpose of the funeral plan policy is to pay the costs and expenses incurred at the time of the person's death. On a per thousand dollar cost of insurance basis, these policies can be more expensive to the policy holder than many types of non-burial insurance due to their low face amount, requiring the fixed cost of the policy administration to be distributed over a smaller policy size, and the simplified underwriting practices that result in higher mortality costs.
The following table shows the condensed financial results of the insurance operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. See Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Intersegment revenues are primarily interest income from the warehouse line provided to SecurityNational Mortgage Company ("SecurityNational Mortgage"). Profitability in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 has decreased due to a decrease in realized gains on investments and other assets, which was partially offset by an increase in net investment income and an increase in insurance premiums.
Cemetery and Mortuary Operations
The Company sells mortuary services and products through its seven mortuaries in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Company also sells cemetery products and services through its five cemeteries in Salt Lake City, Utah and one cemetery in San Diego County, California. Cemetery land sales and at-need product sales and services are recognized as revenue at the time of sale or when the services are performed. Pre-need cemetery product sales are deferred until the merchandise is delivered and services performed.

Mortgage Operations
Overview
The Company's wholly owned subsidiaries, SecurityNational Mortgage and EverLEND Mortgage Company (formerly known as Green Street Mortgage Services, Inc.), are mortgage lenders incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah and approved and regulated by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), a department of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), to originate mortgage loans that qualify for government insurance in the event of default by the borrower. SecurityNational Mortgage and EverLEND Mortgage obtain mortgage loans originated in retail offices and through independent brokers. Mortgage loans originated by the Company's mortgage subsidiaries are funded through loan purchase agreements from Security National Life and unaffiliated financial institutions.
The Company's mortgage subsidiaries receive fees from the borrowers and secondary fees from third party investors that purchase their loans. Loans originated by SecurityNational Mortgage are generally sold with mortgage servicing rights released to third party investors or retained by SecurityNational Mortgage. SecurityNational Mortgage currently retains the mortgage servicing rights on approximately 30% of its loan origination volume. These loans are serviced by an approved third party sub-servicer.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, SecurityNational Mortgage originated and sold 11,720 loans ($2,252,108,000 total volume) and 11,689 loans ($2,192,849,000 total volume), respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, EverLEND Mortgage originated and sold 1 loan ($256,000 total volume) and 79 loans ($17,949,000 total volume), respectively.
The following table shows the condensed financial results of the mortgage operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. See Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The increase in earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was due to higher service release premiums received on mortgage loans sold to investors and an increase in loan origination fee income.

Mortgage Loan Loss Settlements
Future loan losses can be extremely difficult to estimate. However, management believes that the Company's reserve methodology and its current practice of property preservation allow it to estimate its potential losses on loans sold. The amounts expensed for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were $1,438,000 and $1,755,000, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were $2,853,000 and $4,674,000, respectively. The estimated liability for indemnification losses was included in other liabilities and accrued expenses and, as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the balances were $5,326,000 and $2,806,000, respectively.
Settlement of Investigation by U.S. Department of Justice and the Office of the Inspector General for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) of Certain FHA-Insured Mortgage Loans Originated
On September 30, 2016, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, SecurityNational Mortgage, announced the execution of a settlement agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") and the United States Attorney's Office in connection with the origination and underwriting by SecurityNational Mortgage of certain Federal Housing Administration (FHA) insured loans. Pursuant to the agreement, SecurityNational Mortgage is required to make a payment in the amount of $4,250,000 to the DOJ within ten days from the effective date of the settlement agreement. Payment was made to the DOJ on October 4, 2016.
SecurityNational Mortgage made no admission of liability or fault, but chose to resolve the matter through a settlement agreement rather than engage in protracted and costly litigation. SecurityNational Mortgage continues to be able to participate fully in all Federal Housing Administration (FHA) programs as this settlement agreement does not affect SecurityNational Mortgage's status with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). In addition, this settlement does not include any allegations or findings against any particular individuals, such as officers, directors, employees or agents of SecurityNational Mortgage.
Prior to executing the settlement agreement, SecurityNational Mortgage, like many other high volume FHA- approved lenders, was being reviewed by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Office of the Inspector General of HUD for loan origination activities that occurred as long as nine years ago. Without any admission of liability and in order to avoid the extended distractions and expenses associated with protracted litigation, SecurityNational Mortgage made a business decision to resolve this matter. This settlement in no way affects SecurityNational Mortgage's ability to originate FHA-insured mortgage loans in the future.

Consolidation
Three Months Ended September 30, 2016 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2015
Total revenues increased by $9,745,000, or 12.9%, to $85,240,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, from $75,495,000 for the comparable period in 2015. Contributing to this increase in total revenues was a $6,921,000 increase in mortgage fee income, a $2,594,000 increase in insurance premiums and other considerations, a $1,300,000 increase in net investment income, a $331,000 increase in other revenues, and a $26,000 decrease in other than temporary impairments on investments. This increase in total revenues was partially offset by a $1,392,000 decrease in realized gains on investments and other assets, and a $35,000 decrease in net mortuary and cemetery sales.
Insurance premiums and other considerations increased by $2,594,000, or 17.8%, to $17,157,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, from $14,564,000 for the comparable period in 2015. This increase was primarily due to an increase in renewal premiums and an increase in first year premiums as a result of increased insurance sales.
Net investment income increased by $1,300,000, or 15.4%, to $9,732,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, from $8,432,000 for the comparable period in 2015. This increase was primarily attributable to a $503,000 increase in mortgage loan interest, a $416,000 increase in rental income from real estate owned, a $412,000 increase in insurance assignment income, a $396,000 increase in fixed maturity securities income, and a $17,000 increase in equity securities income. This increase was partially offset by a $430,000 increase in investment expenses and a $14,000 decrease in policy loan income.
41

Net mortuary and cemetery sales decreased by $35,000, or 1.3%, to $2,776,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, from $2,811,000 for the comparable period in 2015. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in pre-need sales in both the cemetery and mortuary operations.
Realized gains on investments and other assets decreased by $1,392,000, or 102.9%, to $39,000 in realized losses for the three months ended September 30, 2016, from $1,353,000 in realized gains for the comparable period in 2015. This decrease in realized gains on investments and other assets was primarily attributable to a $1,540,000 decrease in realized gains on other assets due to the sale of an office building in 2015 which resulted in a realized gain of $1,436,000. This decrease was partially offset by a $68,000 increase in realized gains on fixed maturity securities.
Mortgage fee income increased $6,921,000, or 14.7%, to $53,844,000, for the three months ended September 30, 2016, from $46,923,000 for the comparable period in 2015. This increase was primarily due to increased mortgage loan originations.
Other revenues increased by $331,000, or 22.6%, to $1,799,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, from $1,468,000 for the comparable period in 2015. This increase was due to an increase in mortgage servicing fees.
Total benefits and expenses were $77,428,000, or 90.8% of total revenues, for the three months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to $67,700,000, or 89.7% of total revenues, for the comparable period in 2015.
Death benefits, surrenders and other policy benefits, and future policy benefits increased by an aggregate of $1,382,000 or 10.7%, to $14,302,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, from $12,920,000 for the comparable period in 2015. This increase was primarily the result of a $1,801,000 increase in future policy benefits. This increase was partially offset by a $334,000 decrease in death benefits, and an $85,000 decrease in surrender and other policy benefits.
Amortization of deferred policy and pre-need acquisition costs and value of business acquired increased by $963,000, or 72.0%, to $2,301,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, from $1,338,000 for the comparable period in 2015. This increase was primarily due to an increase in insurance sales expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $7,079,000, or 13.7%, to $58,862,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, from $51,783,000 for the comparable period in 2015. This increase was primarily the result of a $3,293,000 increase in commissions resulting from an increase in sales, a $1,986,000 increase in personnel expenses resulting from increased salaries for existing employees and the hiring of new employees, a $1,551,000 increase in other expenses, a $503,000 increase in advertising, a $61,000 increase in rent and rent related expenses, and a $27,000 increase in costs related to funding mortgage loans. This increase was partially offset by a $317,000 decrease in provision for loan loss reserve, and a $25,000 decrease in depreciation on property and equipment.
Interest expense increased by $284,000, or 23.9%, to $1,476,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, from $1,192,000 for the comparable period in 2015. This increase was primarily due to an increase in interest expense on mortgage warehouse lines and an increase in interest expense due to the completion of the Dry Creek at East Village Apartments development in December 2015, resulting from interest from the bank loan that had been capitalized during the construction phase of each building and now being expensed.
Comprehensive income for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 amounted to gains of $4,913,000 and $3,410,000, respectively. This $1,503,000 increase in comprehensive income was primarily the result of a $758,000 increase in unrealized gains in securities available for sale, a $402,000 increase in net income, and a $343,000 increase in unrealized gains from derivatives related to mortgage loans.

Contributing to this increase in total revenues was a $9,617,000 increase in mortgage fee income, a $5,176,000 increase in insurance premiums and other considerations, a $3,015,000 increase in net investment income, an $841,000 increase in net mortuary and cemetery sales, an $820,000 increase in other revenues, and a $34,000 decrease in other than temporary impairments on investments. This increase in total revenues was partially offset by a $2,094,000 decrease in realized gains on investments and other assets.
Insurance premiums and other considerations increased by $5,176,000, or 12.2%, to $47,508,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, from $42,332,000 for the comparable period in 2015.

This increase was primarily attributable to a $1,488,000 increase in rental income from real estate owned, a $1,179,000 increase in insurance assignment income, a $1,168,000 increase in mortgage loan interest, a $333,000 increase in fixed maturity securities income, a $112,000 increase in short-term investment income, a $33,000 increase in equity securities income, and a $14,000 increase in other investment income.

Net mortuary and cemetery sales increased by $841,000, or 9.7%, to $9,542,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, from $8,701,000 for the comparable period in 2015.

This decrease in realized gains on investments and other assets was primarily attributable to a $2,032,000 decrease in realized gains on other assets due to the sale of an office building in 2015, which resulted in a realized gain of $1,436,000, a $40,000 decrease in realized gains on fixed maturity securities, and a $22,000 decrease in realized gains on securities available for sale.
Mortgage fee income increased $9,617,000 or 7.2%, to $143,092,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, from $133,475,000 for the comparable period in 2015. This increase was primarily due to increased mortgage loan originations.

This increase was partially offset by a $1,218,000 decrease in death benefits and a $179,000 decrease in surrender and other policy benefits.
Amortization of deferred policy and pre-need acquisition costs and value of business acquired increased by $2,538,000, or 68.9%, to $6,221,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, from $3,683,000 for the comparable period in 2015.

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 subsidiaries realize 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 related to the issuance of new policies, the maintenance of existing policies, debt service, and to meet current operating expenses.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company's operations provided cash of $41,533,000. This was due primarily to an increase in cash collected on mortgage loans sold to investors. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company's operations used cash of $3,677,000. This was due primarily to an increase in cash paid on mortgage loans sold to investors.
The Company's liability for future life, annuity and other benefits is expected to be paid out over the long-term due to the Company's market niche of selling funeral plans. Funeral plans are small face value life insurance that will pay the costs and expenses incurred at the time of a person's death. A person generally will keep these policies in force and will not surrender them prior to a person's death. Because of the long-term nature of these liabilities, the Company is able to hold to maturity its bonds, real estate and mortgage loans, thus reducing the risk of liquidating these long-term investments as a result of any sudden changes in fair values.
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. 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 that 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, real estate, mortgage loans, and warehousing of 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 insurance subsidiaries amounted to $185,056,000 and $144,946,000 as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. This represents 35.0% and 32.9% of the total investments as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Generally, all bonds owned by the life insurance subsidiaries are rated by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). Under this rating system, there are six categories used for rating bonds. At September 30, 2016, 9.3% (or $17,255,000) and at December 31, 2015, 8.3% (or $11,990,000) of the Company's total bond investments were invested in bonds in rating categories three through six, which were 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. In accordance with Company policy, however, any such securities purchased in the future will be classified as held to maturity. Notwithstanding, business conditions 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, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the life insurance subsidiaries were in compliance with the regulatory criteria.
The Company's total capitalization of stockholders' equity, bank debt and notes payable was $169,283,000 as of September 30, 2016, as compared to $152,154,000 as of December 31, 2015. Stockholders' equity as a percent of total capitalization was 74.2% and 73.1% as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.
Lapse rates measure the amount of insurance terminated during a particular period. The Company's lapse rate for life insurance in 2015 was 7.4% as compared to a rate of 7.0% for 2014. The 2016 lapse rate to date has been approximately the same as 2015.
At September 30, 2016, $44,281,000 of the Company's consolidated stockholders' equity represented the statutory stockholders' equity of the Company's life insurance subsidiaries. The life insurance subsidiaries cannot pay a dividend to the Company, its parent company, without approval of state insurance regulatory authorities.

As of September 30, 2016, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")). The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified by the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company's CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The officers have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2016, and that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Part II - Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
Lehman Brothers and Aurora Loan Services Litigation - Utah
On April 15, 2005, SecurityNational Mortgage entered into a Loan Purchase Agreement with Lehman Bank, which agreement incorporated a Seller's Guide. Pursuant to the Loan Purchase Agreement, Lehman Bank purchased mortgage loans from time to time from SecurityNational Mortgage. Lehman Bank asserted that certain of the mortgage loans that it purchased several years ago from SecurityNational Mortgage contained alleged misrepresentations and early payment defaults. As a result, Lehman Bank contended it had the right to require SecurityNational Mortgage to repurchase certain loans or be liable for losses related to such Loans under the Loan Purchase Agreement. SecurityNational Mortgage disagreed with these claims.
On December 17, 2007, SecurityNational Mortgage entered into an Indemnification Agreement with Lehman Bank and Aurora Loan Services. Under the terms of the Indemnification Agreement, SecurityNational Mortgage agreed to indemnify Lehman Bank and Aurora Loan Services for 75% of actual losses, as defined, that Lehman Bank and Aurora Loan Services may incur on account of the alleged breaches pertaining to certain identified loans. The Indemnification Agreement also required SecurityNational Mortgage to indemnify Lehman Bank and Aurora Loan Services for 100% of any future actual losses incurred on mortgage loans with breaches not covered by the 75% provision. A reserve account was set up for covering said losses.
In addition to initial payments into the reserve account, SecurityNational Mortgage was to pay to Aurora Loan Services each calendar month the difference between the reserve account balance and $645,000, but in no event would SecurityNational Mortgage be required to make payments into the reserve account in excess of $125,000 for any calendar month. Since the time the reserve account was established, approximately $4,300,000 was taken from the reserve account to indemnify Lehman Bank and Aurora Loan Services for alleged losses. On March 28, 2011, Lehman Bank and Aurora Loan Services assigned certain rights and remedies under the Indemnification Agreement to Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. ("Lehman Holdings").
On May 11, 2011, SecurityNational Mortgage filed a complaint against Aurora Bank FSB (formerly known as Lehman Bank) and Aurora Loan Services in the United States District Court, Utah, which was assigned to Judge Nuffer. The allegations in the complaint include breach of the Indemnification Agreement. SecurityNational Mortgage claimed it was entitled to a judgment of approximately $4,000,000 against Lehman Bank, as well as Aurora Loan Services to the extent of its involvement, for payments which should not have been taken from the reserve account.
45

On June 8, 2011, Lehman Holdings, which had filed for bankruptcy in September 2008, filed a complaint in the United States District Court, Utah against SecurityNational Mortgage. The case was assigned to Judge Ted Stewart. The complaint alleged claims for damages for breach of contract and breach of warranty pursuant to the Loan Purchase Agreement, and initially claimed damages in excess of $5,000,000. Lehman Holdings further alleged that Lehman Bank sold mortgage loans to it and assigned contractual rights and remedies. SecurityNational Mortgage strongly disagreed with the claims in Lehman Holdings' complaint.
On December 24, 2014, Judge Nuffer issued an amended order granting SecurityNational Mortgage's motion for summary judgment against Lehman Bank and Aurora Loan Services for $3,892,974, plus prejudgment interest at 9% per annum. The total amount of prejudgment interest awarded was $1,674,240 through May 31, 2014, with a per diem of $960 for each day after May 31, 2014 until final judgment. The court also indicated that further replenishment of the reserve account under the Indemnification Agreement appeared to be barred by a waiver, but that this issue had not been briefed.
Additionally, 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. SecurityNational Mortgage asserted that Lehman Bank and Aurora Loan Services had no rights to a replenishment of the Indemnification Agreement reserve account, or for any offset. On March 30, 2015, SecurityNational Mortgage filed a response in opposition to the partial summary judgment motion of Lehman Bank and Aurora Loan Services concerning the reserve account replenishment and offset; SecurityNational Mortgage also filed its own partial summary judgment motion against Lehman Bank and Aurora Loan Services on the same issues.
On October 24, 2016, Judge Nuffer issued a memorandum decision and order denying Lehman Bank's and Aurora Loan Service's motion for partial summary judgment on the affirmative defense of offset and replenishment against the prior order in favor of SecurityNational Mortgage that Judge Nuffer issued on December 24, 2014, and granting SecurityNational Mortgage's motion for partial summary judgment in opposition to Lehman Bank's and Aurora Loan Service's motion for offset and replenishment.
In the related legal action that Lehman Holdings brought against SecurityNational Mortgage, on April 21, 2015, Judge Stewart issued a memorandum decision and order denying SecurityNational Mortgage's motion for summary judgment against Lehman Holdings in the Lehman Holdings case. On January 16, 2015, SecurityNational Mortgage filed a separate motion for summary judgment against Lehman Holdings based on the statute of limitations. Because certain cases that arose in Colorado were pending before the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit concerning statute of limitations issues involving Lehman Holdings, Judge Stewart inquired at a hearing as to whether his ruling on SecurityNational Mortgage's motion should be held in abeyance until a ruling is rendered by the Tenth Circuit. The parties agreed to an abeyance and Judge Stewart issued an order on May 11, 2015 postponing his ruling.
On January 27, 2016, the Tenth Circuit entered its order and judgment concerning the five cases before it upholding rulings of the U.S. District Court, Colorado dismissing the cases filed by Lehman Holdings with prejudice. Pursuant to an order from Judge Stewart, SecurityNational Mortgage and Lehman Holdings filed supplemental briefs on March 3, 2016 pertaining to SecurityNational Mortgage's summary judgment motion in view of the ruling of the Tenth Circuit. On March 23, 2016, the court denied SecurityNational Mortgage's motion based on a certain tolling provision in one of the agreements. The case is presently set for trial commencing on December 12, 2016.
Lehman Brothers Litigation – Delaware and New York
In January 2014, Lehman Holdings entered into a settlement with the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) concerning the mortgage loan claims asserted by Fannie Mae against Lehman Holdings that were allegedly based on breaches of certain representations and warranties by Lehman Holdings. Lehman Holdings had acquired these loans from Lehman Bank, which in turn purchased the loans from residential mortgage loan originators, including SecurityNational Mortgage. A settlement based on similar circumstances was entered into between Lehman Holdings and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) in February 2014. As a result of the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac settlements, Lehman Holdings filed a motion in May 2014 with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court of the Southern District of New York to require the mortgage loan originators, including SecurityNational Mortgage, to engage in mediation, a nonbinding alternative dispute resolution process, as Lehman Holdings asserted alleged indemnification claims against the mortgage loan originators.
46

The mediation was not successful in resolving the potential issues between SecurityNational Mortgage and Lehman Holdings relative to the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac settlements with Lehman Holdings. On January 26, 2016, SecurityNational Mortgage filed a declaratory judgment action against Lehman Holdings in the Superior Court for the State of Delaware. In the Delaware action, SecurityNational Mortgage asserted its right to obtain a declaration of rights in that there is allegedly millions of dollars in dispute with Lehman Holdings pertaining to approximately 136 loans. SecurityNational Mortgage seeks declaratory judgment as to its rights as it contends that it has no liability to Lehman Holdings as a result of Lehman Holdings' settlements with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Lehman Holdings filed a motion in the Lehman Holdings bankruptcy that SecurityNational Mortgage's action in Delaware is contrary to an automatic bankruptcy stay, which SecurityNational Mortgage disputes. The matter was argued on May 5, 2016 before the bankruptcy court and the court has taken the matter under advisement. Lehman Holdings also filed a similar automatic stay motion in the Delaware court, along with other assertions concerning the issues of a stay or dismissal in the Delaware court because of the proceeding in the bankruptcy court. This motion was heard by the Delaware court on July 20, 2016 and the court has taken the matter under advisement.
On February 3, 2016, Lehman Holdings filed an adversary proceeding against approximately 150 parties, including SecurityNational Mortgage, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court of the Southern District of New York seeking a declaration of rights similar in nature to the declaration of rights that SecurityNational Mortgage seeks in its Delaware lawsuit, and for damages relating to the defendants' obligations under indemnification provisions of the alleged agreements in an amount to be determined at trial, including interest, and attorneys' fees and related costs incurred by Lehman Holdings in enforcing the obligations of the defendants.
The complaint filed on February 3, 2016 was not served on SecurityNational Mortgage and an amended complaint materially similar to the original complaint was filed March 7, 2016. Presently, no response has been required and the parties are in the process of attempting to agree on a case management order. As with SecurityNational Mortgage's Delaware action, and although SecurityNational Mortgage has not yet filed a response to the amended complaint, SecurityNational Mortgage denies that it has any liability to Lehman Holdings and intends to vigorously protect and defend such position.
The Company is not a party to any other material legal proceedings outside the ordinary course of business or to any other legal proceedings, which if adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operation.

Completion of Acquisition of First Guaranty Insurance Company
On July 11, 2016, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Security National Life, completed the stock purchase transaction with the shareholders of Reppond Holding Corporation, an Arkansas corporation ("Reppond Holding") and sole shareholder of First Guaranty Insurance Company, a Louisiana domestic stock legal reserve life insurance company ("First Guaranty"), to purchase all the outstanding shares of common stock of Reppond Holding. Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated February 17, 2016, between Security National Life and Reppond Holding, which was later amended on March 4, 2016 and March 17, 2016, Security National Life paid a total of $6,753,000 at the closing in consideration for the purchase of all the outstanding shares of stock of Reppond Holding from its shareholders. Reppond Holding holds all of the outstanding shares of common stock of First Guaranty.
The transaction was completed following the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement. These conditions included obtaining all the required material orders, consents, permits, authorizations, approvals and waivers (including, without limitation, obtaining the approval of the Louisiana Department of Insurance without the material abrogation or diminishment of First Guaranty's or Reppond Holding's authority or license or the imposition of signification restrictions upon the transactions contemplated thereby). This condition was satisfied on July 8, 2016 when the Department issued an order approving the transaction, as required. The closing of the transaction took place soon thereafter on July 11, 2016.
47
