                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  June 30, 2002
                                   (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 Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of
the  information  and  footnotes  required by  accounting  principles  generally
accepted in the United States of America for complete financial  statements.  In
the opinion of  management,  all  adjustments  (consisting  of normal  recurring
accruals)  considered  necessary  for a fair  presentation  have been  included.
Operating  results for the three months ended June 30, 2002, are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending  December 31,
2002. For further  information,  refer to the consolidated  financial statements
and  footnotes  thereto for the year ended  December 31,  2001,  included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K (file number 0-9341).

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 liability for future policy  benefits and claims,  those used in determining
valuation  allowances  for  mortgage  loans on real  estate,  and those  used in
determining  the  estimated  future  costs for  pre-need  sales.  Although  some
variability  is inherent in these  estimates,  management  believes  the amounts
provided are adequate.

2.   Comprehensive Income

For the six months  ended June 30,  2002 and 2001,  total  comprehensive  income
amounted to $1,550,514 and $1,189,256, respectively.

For the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001,  total  comprehensive  income
amounted to $242,703 and $526,238, respectively.

The basic and diluted earnings per share amounts were calculated as follows:

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis

Overview

The Company's  operations  over the last several years  generally  reflect three
trends or events which the Company expects to continue:  (i) increased attention
to "niche" insurance  products,  such as the Company's funeral plan policies and
interest  sensitive  products;  (ii) emphasis on cemetery and mortuary business;
and (iii)  capitalizing  on lower interest rates by originating  and refinancing
mortgage loans.

During the six months ended June 30, 2002,  Security  National  Mortgage Company
("SNMC")  experienced  increases  in revenue and expenses due to the increase in
loan volume of its operations.  SNMC is a mortgage lender incorporated under the
laws of the State of Utah. SNMC is 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.  SNMC obtains loans primarily
from independent brokers and correspondents.  SNMC funds the loans from internal
cash flows and lines of credit from financial  institutions.  SNMC receives fees
from  origination  points paid by the borrowers and service and release premiums
received from third party investors who purchase the loans from SNMC. SNMC sells
all of its loans to third party investors and does not retain servicing to these
loans. SNMC pays the brokers and  correspondents a commission for loans that are
brokered through SNMC. SNMC originated and sold 4,132  ($587,497,000)  and 3,806
($553,489,000)  loans  respectively  for the six months  ended June 30, 2002 and
2001.

Results of Operations

Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2001

Total  revenues  increased by $1,851,000,  or 5.2%, to  $37,551,000  for the six
months ended June 30, 2002,  from  $35,700,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2001.  Contributing to this increase in total revenues was a $1,650,000 increase
in mortgage fee income, a $231,000  increase in net mortuary and cemetery sales,
a $109,000  increase  in  insurance  premiums  and other  considerations,  and a
$715,000 increase in realized gains on investments and other assets.

Insurance premiums and other considerations  increased by $109,000,  or 1.7%, to
$6,692,000  for the six months  ended June 30,  2002,  from  $6,583,000  for the
comparable period in 2001. This increase was primarily the result of an increase
in the  amortization  of  unearned  premium  reserve  to the  Company's  current
actuarial assumptions.

Net investment  income  decreased by $1,108,000 or 16.9%,  to $5,452,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 2002,  from  $6,560,000 for the  comparable  period in
2001. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower yields on investments.

Net mortuary and cemetery  sales  increased by $231,000,  or 4.4%, to $5,539,000
for the six months  ended June 30,  2002,  from  $5,308,000  for the  comparable
period in 2001. This increase was primarily due to additional  at-need  cemetery
and mortuary sales.

Realized  gains on  investments  and other  assets  increased  by  $715,000,  to
$719,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002,  from $4,000 for the comparable
period in 2001.  This increase was the result of the sale of  approximately  3.5
acres at Lakehills Cemetery in Sandy, Utah to the Utah Transit Authority.

Mortgage fee income increased by $1,650,000, or 9.6%, to $18,840,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2002, from $17,190,000 for the comparable  period in 2001.
This  increase  was  primarily   attributable   to  a  greater  number  of  loan
originations  during  the six  months of 2002 due to the  opening  of new branch
offices in Mesa, Arizona and Houston, Texas.

Total benefits and expenses were  $35,388,000,  or 94.2%,  of total revenues for
the six months ended June 30, 2002,  as compared to  $34,406,000,  or 96.4%,  of
total revenues for the comparable period in 2001.

Death  benefits,  surrenders  and other  policy  benefits and increase in future
policy benefits decreased by an aggregate of $69,000, or 1.1%, to $6,102,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 2002, from $6,171,000 for the comparable period in
2001.  This  decrease  was  primarily  the result of a reduction in reserves for
policyholders.

Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and cost of insurance acquired
decreased by $180,000, or 9.2 %, to $1,769,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2002,  from  $1,949,000  for the  comparable  period in 2001.  This decrease was
primarily  due to the  adjustment  of the  amortization  rate  to the  Company's
current actuarial assumptions.

General and  administrative  expenses  increased  by  $2,425,000,  or 10.4%,  to
$25,711,000  for the six months ended June 30, 2002,  from  $23,286,000  for the
comparable period in 2001. This increase  primarily resulted from an increase in
commissions,  salaries  and  other  expenses  due to  additional  mortgage  loan
originations  having been made by the Company's  mortgage  subsidiary during the
six months of 2002.

Interest  expense  decreased  by  $1,095,000  or 67.7%,  to $523,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2002, from  $1,618,000 for the comparable  period in 2001.
This  decrease was primarily due to lower  interest  rates and fewer  borrowings
under  the  Company's  warehouse  lines of credit  required  for  mortgage  loan
originations by the Company's mortgage subsidiary.

Cost of goods and services sold of the mortuaries  and  cemeteries  decreased by
$98,000,  or 7.1%,  to $1,283,000  for the six months ended June 30, 2002,  from
$1,381,000 for the comparable period in 2001. This decrease was primarily due to
greater sales of cemetery burial property sales in 2002, which have a lower cost
of goods sold than other funeral products.

Second Quarter of 2002 Compared to Second Quarter of 2001

Total revenues  decreased by $4,000,  to $17,949,000  for the three months ended
June 30,  2002,  from  $17,953,000  for the three  months  ended June 30,  2001.
Contributing to this decrease in total revenues was an $883,000  decrease in net
investment income and a $37,000 decrease in net mortuary and cemetery sales.

Insurance premiums and other considerations  increased by $267,000,  or 8.6%, to
$3,369,000  for the three months ended June 30, 2002,  from  $3,102,000  for the
comparable  period in 2001. This increase was primarily due to the adjustment of
the  amortization  rate of unearned  premium  reserve to the  Company's  current
actuarial assumptions.

Net investment  income  decreased by $883,000,  or 25.7%,  to $2,528,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2002, from  $3,411,000 for the comparable  period in
2001. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower yields on investments.

Net mortuary and cemetery sales decreased by $37,000, or 1.3%, to $2,811,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 2002, from $2,848,000 for the comparable  period
in 2001. This decrease is primarily due to fewer at-need mortuary sales.

Mortgage fee income increased by $405,000,  or 4.7%, to $8,974,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2002, from  $8,569,000 for the comparable  period in 2001.
This  increase  was  primarily   attributable   to  a  greater  number  of  loan
originations during the second quarter of 2002, due to the opening of new branch
offices in Mesa, Arizona and Houston, Texas.

Total benefits and expenses were  $17,634,000,  or 98.3%,  of total revenues for
the three months ended June 30 2002, as compared to  $17,370,000,  or 96.8%,  of
total revenues for the comparable period in 2001.

Death  benefits,  surrenders and other policy  benefits,  and increase in future
policy benefits decreased by an aggregate of $18,000,  or .6%, to $3,057,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 2002, from $3,075,000 for the comparable  period
in 2001.  This  decrease  was  primarily  the result of a reduction  in interest
credited on policyholder account balances.

Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and cost of insurance acquired
increased by $63,000, or 7.2%, to $934,000,  for the three months ended June 30,
2002, from $871,000 for the comparable period in 2001. This increase was in line
with actuarial assumptions.

General  and   administrative   expenses  increased  by  $995,000  or  8.5%,  to
$12,760,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002,  from  $11,765,000 for the
comparable period in 2001. This increase  primarily resulted from an increase in
commissions  and other  expenses due to additional  mortgage  loan  originations
having been made by the Company's mortgage  subsidiary during the second quarter
of 2002.

Interest  expense  decreased  by $711,000,  or 78.0%,  to $200,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2002,  from  $911,000 for the  comparable  period in 2001.
This  decrease was primarily due to lower  interest  rates and fewer  borrowings
under  the  Company's  warehouse  lines of credit  required  for  mortgage  loan
originations by the Company's mortgage subsidiary.

Cost of mortuaries and cemeteries  goods and services sold decreased by $66,000,
or 8.7%, to $682,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002, from $748,000 for
the comparable  period in 2001. This decrease was primarily due to greater sales
of cemetery burial property sales in 2002, which have a lower cost of goods sold
than other funeral products.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's life insurance subsidiaries and cemetery and mortuary subsidiaries
realize  cash flow  from  premiums,  contract  payments  and  sales on  personal
services  rendered  for  cemetery  and  mortuary  business,  from  interest  and
dividends  on  invested  assets,  and from the  proceeds  from the  maturity  of
held-to-maturity  investments,  or  sale  of  other  investments.  The  mortgage
subsidiary realizes cash flow from fees generated by originating and refinancing
mortgage loans and interest  earned on mortgages sold to investors.  The Company
considers these sources of cash flow to be adequate to fund future  policyholder
and  cemetery and mortuary  liabilities,  which  generally  are  long-term,  and
adequate to pay current policyholder claims,  annuity payments,  expenses on the
issuance of new policies,  the maintenance of existing  policies,  debt service,
and operating expenses.

The  Company  attempts  to  match  the  duration  of  invested  assets  with its
policyholder  and  cemetery  and  mortuary  liabilities.  The  Company  may sell
investments other than those  held-to-maturity  in the portfolio to help in this
timing;  however,  to date, that has not been necessary.  The Company  purchases
short-term  investments  on a  temporary  basis  to  meet  the  expectations  of
short-term  requirements  of the Company's  products.  The Company's  investment
philosophy is intended to provide a rate of return which will persist during the
expected  duration  of  policyholder  and  cemetery  and  mortuary   liabilities
regardless of future interest rate movements.

The Company's  investment  policy is to invest  predominantly  in fixed maturity
securities,  mortgage loans, and warehouse  mortgage loans on a short-term basis
before selling the loans to investors in accordance  with the  requirements  and
laws  governing  the  life  insurance  subsidiaries.  Bonds  owned  by the  life
insurance  subsidiaries amounted to $48,072,000 as of June 30, 2002, compared to
$49,271,000 as of December 31,

                                       12

<PAGE>





2001. This represents 55% of the total insurance-related  investments as of June
30,  2002,  and  December  31,  2001.  Generally,  all  bonds  owned by the life
insurance  subsidiaries  are  rated by the  National  Association  of  Insurance
Commissioners.  Under this  rating  system,  there are six  categories  used for
rating  bonds.  At June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, 5%  ($2,438,000)  of the
Company's total investment in bonds were invested in bonds in rating  categories
three through six, which are considered non-investment grade.

The Company has  classified  certain of its fixed income  securities,  including
high-yield  securities,  in its  portfolio  as  available  for  sale,  with  the
remainder  classified as held to maturity.  However,  in accordance with Company
policy,  any such securities  purchased in the future will be classified as held
to maturity.  Business conditions,  however, may develop in the future which may
indicate a need for a higher level of liquidity in the investment portfolio.  In
that event the  Company  believes  it could  sell  short-term  investment  grade
securities before liquidating higher-yielding longer term securities.

The Company is subject to risk based capital guidelines established by statutory
regulators  requiring  minimum  capital  levels based on the  perceived  risk of
assets, liabilities,  disintermediation, and business risk. At June 30, 2002 and
December  31,  2001,  the life  insurance  subsidiary  exceeded  the  regulatory
criteria.

The Company's total  capitalization  of  stockholders'  equity and bank debt and
notes payable was $43,033,000 as of June 30, 2002, as compared to $42,067,000 as
of  December  31,  2001.  Stockholders'  equity as a percent  of  capitalization
increased to 73% as of June 30, 2002, from 71% as of December 31, 2001.

Lapse  rates  measure the amount of  insurance  terminated  during a  particular
period.  The  Company's  lapse  rate for  life  insurance  in 2001 was  13.2% as
compared to a rate of 15.0% for 2000. The 2002 lapse rate is  approximately  the
same as 2001.

At June 30, 2002, $23,889,000 of the Company's consolidated stockholders' equity
represents  the statutory  stockholders'  equity of the Company's life insurance
subsidiaries.  The life  insurance  subsidiaries  cannot pay a  dividend  to its
parent company without the approval of insurance regulatory authorities.

                           Part II Other Information:

Item 1.        Legal Proceedings

               An action was brought  against  Southern  Security Life Insurance
               Company  in July 1999 by Dorothy  Ruth  Campbell  in the  Circuit
               Court of Escambia  County,  Alabama.  The action  arises out of a
               denial of coverage under a $10,000 insurance  policy.  The claims
               are  for   breach  of   contract,   bad   faith  and   fraudulent
               misrepresentation. In the action, Campbell seeks compensatory and
               punitive  damages  plus  interest.  The  Company  has  filed  its
               response to the complaint and certain  discovery has taken place.
               A motion for summary  judgment filed on behalf of the Company was
               denied.  A trial date has yet to be set as the Company  continues
               to vigorously defend the matter.

               An action was brought  against the Company in May 2001, by Glenna
               Brown Thomas  individually and as personal  representative of the
               Estate of Lynn W. Brown in the Third  Judicial  Court,  Salt Lake
               County,  Utah. The action asserts that Memorial Estates delivered
               to Lynn W. Brown six stock certificates representing 2,000 shares
               in 1970 and 1971.  Mr. Brown died in 1972. It is asserted that at
               the time the 2,000  shares  were  issued  and  outstanding,  such
               represented a 2% ownership of Memorial Estates. It is alleged Mr.
               Brown  was  entitled  to  preemptive  rights  and that  after the
               issuance of the stock to Mr. Brown there were  further  issuances
               of stock  without  providing  written  notice to Mr. Brown or his
               estate with respect to

                                       13

<PAGE>



               an opportunity to purchase more stock. It is asserted among other
               things that the plaintiff "has the right to a transfer of Brown's
               shares to Thomas on defendants' (which includes Security National
               Financial  Corporation as well as Memorial  Estates,  Inc.) books
               and to  restoration of Brown's  proportion of share  ownership in
               Memorial  at the time of his death by  issuance  and  delivery to
               Thomas of sufficient  shares of defendant's  publicly  traded and
               unrestricted  stock in exchange  for the 2,000 shares of Memorial
               stock and  payment  of all  dividends  from the date of  Thomas's
               demand,   as   required   by  Article  XV  of  the   Articles  of
               Incorporation." Based on present information, the Company intends
               to vigorously defend the matter,  including an assertion that the
               statute of limitations bars the claims.

               An action was brought  against  Southern  Security Life Insurance
               Company by National  Group  Underwriters,  Inc.  ("NGU") in state
               court in the State of Texas.  The case was removed by the Company
               to the United States District Court for the Northern  District of
               Texas,  Fort Worth  Division,  with Civil No.  4:01-CV-403-E.  An
               Amended  Complaint  was  filed on or about  July  18,  2001.  The
               Amended  Complaint  asserts  that  NGU had a  contract  with  the
               Company  wherein  NGU  would  submit   applications  for  certain
               policies of insurance to be issued by the Company.  It is alleged
               that disputes have arisen between NGU and the Company with regard
               to the calculation and payment of certain advanced commissions as
               well as certain production bonuses.

               NGU  alleges  that it "has  been  damaged  far in  excess  of the
               $75,000  minimum  jurisdictional  limits of this Court." NGU also
               seeks  attorney's  fees  and  costs  as well as  prejudgment  and
               postjudgment  interest.  A second  amended  complaint and a third
               amended  complaint,  which included a fraud claim,  were filed. A
               motion  was filed by the  Company to  dismiss  the third  amended
               complaint,  including  the  fraud  claim.  The court  denied  the
               motion. The Company has counterclaimed for what it claims to be a
               debit  balance owing to it pursuant to the  relationship  between
               the parties with said counterclaim  seeking a substantial  amount
               from  NGU  (said  amount  potentially  subject  to  reduction  as
               premiums  are  received).  The Company is also seeking to recover
               attorney's fees and costs,  as well punitive  damages on three of
               its  causes of action.  A response  has not yet been filed to the
               amended  counterclaim.  The change of venue motion of the Company
               was  denied.  Certain  discovery  has  taken  place  and  further
               discovery is anticipated, e.g., dispositions. The Company intends
               to  vigorously  defend  the  matter  as  well  as  prosecute  its
               counterclaim.

               An  action  was  brought  by  Bernice  Johnson  against  Southern
               Security Life Insurance Company in May, 2002 in the Circuit Court
               of Jefferson  County,  Alabama,  Civil Action No. CV02 2963.  The
               face amount of coverage under the policy is $15,000.  The insured
               died in July 2001. Claims are made for non- payment of the policy
               amount. The claims for relief include  misrepresentation,  mental
               anguish and emotional distress, fraud, intentional and bad faith,
               non-payment of the benefit,  intentional and bad faith failure to
               investigate  the claim for  benefits,  reckless and negligent and
               wanton action relative to misrepresentation and/or concealment of
               facts, negligence and the wanton hiring, training and supervision
               of agent. Compensatory and punitive damages are sought along with
               interest  and costs.  An answer has been filed by the Company and
               discovery is in process.

               The Company is not a party to any other legal proceedings outside
               the  ordinary  course of the  Company's  business or to any other
               legal proceedings  which, if adversely  determined,  would have a
               material adverse effect on the Company or its business.
