**PART I**

**Item 1. Business**

Security National Financial Corporation (the "Company") operates in three reportable business segments: life insurance, cemetery and mortuary, and mortgages. The life insurance segment is engaged in the business of selling and servicing selected lines of life insurance, annuity products, and accident and health insurance. These products are marketed in 42 states through a commissioned sales force of independent licensed insurance agents who may also sell insurance products of other companies. The cemetery and mortuary segment consists of eleven mortuaries and five cemeteries in the state of Utah, one cemetery in the state of California, and one cemetery and four mortuaries in the state of New Mexico. The Company also engages in pre-need selling of funeral, cemetery, mortuary, and cremation services through its cemetery and mortuary locations. The mortgage segment originates and underwrites or otherwise purchases residential and commercial loans for new construction, existing homes, and other real estate projects. The mortgage segment operates through 85 retail offices in 25 states and is an approved mortgage lender in several other states.

The Company's design and structure are that each business segment is related to the other business segments and contributes to the profitability of the other segments. The Company's cemetery and mortuary segment provides a level of public awareness that assists in the sales and marketing of insurance and pre-need cemetery and funeral products. The Company's insurance segment invests its assets (including, in part, pre-need funeral products and services) in investments authorized by the respective insurance departments of their states of domicile. The Company also pursues growth through acquisitions. The Company's mortgage segment provides mortgage loans and other real estate investment opportunities.

The Company was organized as a holding company in 1979 when Security National Life Insurance Company ("Security National Life") became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the former stockholders of Security National Life became stockholders of the Company. Security National Life was formed in 1965 and has acquired or purchased significant blocks of business which include Capital Investors Life Insurance Company (1994), Civil Service Employees Life Insurance Company (1995), Southern Security Life Insurance Company (1998), Menlo Life Insurance Company (1999), Acadian Life Insurance Company (2002), Paramount Security Life Insurance Company (2004), Memorial Insurance Company of America (2005 and subsequently sold in 2021 to FOXO Life Insurance Company), Capital Reserve Life Insurance Company (2007), Southern Security Life Insurance Company, Inc. (2008), North America Life Insurance Company (2011, 2015), Trans-Western Life Insurance Company (2012), Mothe Life Insurance Company (2012), DLE Life Insurance Company (2012), American Republic Insurance Company (2015), First Guaranty Insurance Company (2016), Kilpatrick Life Insurance Company (2019), and merger with FOXO Life Insurance Company (2023).

The cemetery and mortuary operations have also grown through the acquisition of other cemetery and mortuary companies. The cemetery and mortuary companies that the Company has acquired are Holladay Memorial Park, Inc. (1991), Cottonwood Mortuary, Inc. (1991), Deseret Memorial, Inc. (1991), Probst Family Funerals and Cremations L.L.C. (2019), Heber Valley Funeral Home, Inc. (2019), Rivera Funerals, Cremations and Memorial Gardens (2021), and Holbrook Mortuary (2021).

In 1993, the Company formed SecurityNational Mortgage Company ("SecurityNational Mortgage") to originate and refinance residential mortgage loans.

See Note 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the business segments of the Company.

**Life Insurance**

*Products*

The Company, through Security National Life, First Guaranty Insurance Company ("First Guaranty"), and Kilpatrick Life Insurance Company ("Kilpatrick"), issues and administers selected lines of life insurance and annuities. The Company's life insurance business includes funeral plans and interest-sensitive life insurance, as well as other traditional life, limited-payment life, accident, and limited health insurance products. The Company places specific marketing emphasis on funeral plans through pre-need planning. The Company's insurance subsidiaries, Kilpatrick, Southern Security Life Insurance Company, Inc. ("Southern Security") and Trans-Western Life Insurance Company ("Trans-Western"), do not actively write policies, but service and maintain policies that were issued prior to their acquisition by Security National Life.

A funeral plan is a small face value life insurance policy that generally has face coverage of up to $30,000. 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 a person's death. On a per thousand-dollar cost of insurance basis, these policies can be more expensive to the policyholder 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.

*Markets and Distribution*

The Company is licensed to sell insurance in 42 states. In marketing its life insurance products, the Company seeks to locate, develop and service specific niche markets. The Company's funeral plan policies are sold primarily to people who range in age from 45 to 85 and have low to moderate income. Most of the Company's funeral plan premiums come from the states of Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah.

The Company sells its life insurance products through direct agents, brokers, and independent licensed agents who may also sell insurance products of other companies. The commissions on life insurance products range from approximately 50% to 150% of first year premiums. In those cases where the Company utilizes its direct agents in selling such policies, those agents customarily receive advances against future commissions.

In some instances, funeral plan insurance is marketed in conjunction with the Company's cemetery and mortuary sales force. When it is marketed by that group, the beneficiary is usually the Company's cemeteries and mortuaries. Thus, death benefits that become payable under the policy are paid to the Company's cemetery and mortuary subsidiaries to the extent of services performed and products purchased.

In marketing funeral plan insurance, the Company also seeks and obtains third-party endorsements from other cemeteries and mortuaries within its marketing areas. Typically, these cemeteries and mortuaries will provide letters of endorsement and may share in mailing and other lead-generating costs since these businesses are usually made the beneficiary of the policy. The following table summarizes the life insurance business for the five years ended December 31, 2025:

---

| | | | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | 2022 |  | 2021 |  |

| Policy/Certificate Count as of December 31 | 629476 | 635791 | 640970 | 646296 |  | 653450 |  |
| Insurance in force as of December 31 (in thousands) | $3933254 | $3947671 | $3552554 | $3446836 | (1) | $3415368 | (1) |
| Premiums Collected (in thousands) | $118519 | $118151 | $113584 | $103304 |  | $99006 |  |

(1) Prior years have been adjusted to include accidental death benefit insurance in force that was inadvertently excluded.

 

Underwriting

The factors considered in evaluating an application for ordinary life insurance coverage can include the applicant's age, occupation, general health condition, and medical history. Upon receipt of a satisfactory (non-funeral plan insurance) application, which contains pertinent medical questions, the Company issues insurance based upon its medical limits and requirements subject to the following general non-medical limits:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Age Nearest | Non-Medical |
| Birthday | Limits |
| 0-50 | $100000 |
| 51-up | Medical information |
|  | required (APS or exam) |

---

When underwriting life insurance, the Company will sometimes issue policies with higher premium rates for substandard risks.

The Company's funeral plan insurance is written on a simplified medical application with underwriting requirements being a completed application, a phone interview of the applicant, and an intelliscript prescription history inquiry. There are several underwriting classes in which an applicant can be placed.

**Annuities**

Products

The Company's annuity business includes single premium deferred annuities, flexible premium deferred annuities, and immediate annuities. A single premium deferred annuity is a contract where the individual remits a sum of money to the Company, which is retained on deposit until such time as the individual may wish to annuitize or surrender the contract for cash. A flexible premium deferred annuity gives the contract holder the right to make premium payments of varying amounts or to make no further premium payments after his initial payment. These single and flexible premium deferred annuities can have initial surrender charges. The surrender charges act as a deterrent to individuals who may wish to prematurely surrender their annuity contracts. An immediate annuity is a contract in which the individual remits a sum of money to the Company in return for the Company's obligation to pay a series of payments on a periodic basis over a designated period, such as an individual's life, or for such other period as may be designated.

Annuities have guaranteed interest rates that range from 1% to 6.5% per annum. Rates above the guaranteed interest rate credited are periodically modified by the Company's Board of Directors at its discretion. For the Company to make a profit on an annuity product, the Company must maintain an interest rate spread between its investment income and the interest rates credited to the annuities. Commissions, issuance expenses, and general and administrative expenses are deducted from this interest rate spread.

Markets and Distribution

The general market for the Company's annuities is middle to older age individuals. A major source of annuity sales comes from direct agents and are sold in conjunction with other insurance sales. If an individual does not qualify for a funeral plan, the agent will often sell that individual an annuity to fund final expenses.

The following table summarizes the annuity business for the five years ended December 31, 2025:

| | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | 2021 |
| Annuities Policy/Certificate Count as of December 31 | 23864 | 24296 | 24924 | 24225 | 24901 |
| Deposits Collected (in thousands) | $10564 | $11740 | $10946 | $9972 | $9719 |

---

**Accident and Health**

*Products*

Through its various acquisitions, the Company occasionally acquires small blocks of accident and health insurance policies, which it continues to service. The Company offered a low-cost comprehensive diver's accident insurance policy that provided worldwide coverage for medical expense reimbursement in the event of a diving accident. This product was discontinued in March 2024.

*Markets and Distribution*

The Company marketed its diver's accident insurance policies through the internet.

The following table summarizes the accident and health insurance business for the five years ended December 31, 2025:

---

| | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | 2021 |
| Accident and Health Policy/Certificate Count as of December 31 | 6886 | 7592 | 9379 | 11132 | 12494 |
| Premiums Collected (in thousands) | $171 | $188 | $216 | $543 | $353 |

---

**Reinsurance**

The primary purpose of reinsurance is to enable an insurance company to issue an insurance policy in an amount larger than the risk the insurance company is willing to assume for itself. The insurance company remains obligated for the amounts reinsured (ceded) in the event the reinsurers do not meet their obligations.

The Company currently cedes and assumes certain risks with various authorized unaffiliated reinsurers pursuant to reinsurance treaties, which are generally renewed annually. The premiums paid by the Company are based on several factors, primarily including the age of the insured and the risk ceded to the reinsurer.

It is the Company's policy to retain no more than $100,000 of ordinary insurance per life insured, with the excess risk being reinsured. The total policy amount of life insurance reinsured by other companies as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, was $316,251,000 and $325,189,000, which represented approximately 8.0% and 8.2% of the Company's total life insurance policy amount in force on that date, respectively.

See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition" and "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional disclosure and discussion regarding reinsurance.

**Investments**

The investments that support the Company's life insurance and annuity obligations are determined by the investment committees of the Company's subsidiaries and ratified by the full boards of directors of the respective subsidiaries. A significant portion of the Company's investments must meet statutory requirements governing the nature and quality of permitted investments by its insurance subsidiaries. The Company maintains a diversified investment portfolio consisting of common stocks, preferred stocks, municipal bonds, corporate bonds, mortgage loans, real estate, and other securities and investments.

See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition" and "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional disclosure and discussion regarding investments.

**Cemetery and Mortuary**

*Products*

Through its cemetery and mortuary segment, the Company markets a variety of products and services both on a pre-need basis (prior to death) and an at-need basis (at the time of death). The products include plots, interment vaults, mausoleum crypts, markers, caskets, urns, and other death care related products. These services include professional services of funeral directors, opening and closing of graves, use of chapels and viewing rooms, and use of automobiles and clothing. The Company has a mortuary at each of its cemeteries, other than Holladay Memorial Park and Singing Hills Memorial Park, and has ten separate stand-alone mortuary facilities.

*Markets and Distribution*

The Company's pre-need cemetery and mortuary sales are marketed to persons of all ages but are generally purchased by persons 45 years of age and older. The Company is limited in its geographic distribution of these products to areas lying within an approximate 20-mile radius of its mortuaries and cemeteries. The Company's at-need sales are similarly limited in the geographic area.

The Company actively seeks to sell its cemetery and funeral products to customers on a pre-need basis. The Company employs cemetery sales representatives on a commission basis to sell these products. Many of these pre-need cemetery and mortuary sales representatives are also licensed insurance salesmen and sell funeral plan insurance. In some instances, the Company's cemetery and mortuary facilities are the named beneficiaries of the funeral plan policies.

Potential customers are located via telephone sales prospecting, responses to letters mailed by the pre-planning consultants, billboards and other outside advertising, referrals, and door-to-door canvassing. The Company trains its sales representatives and helps generate leads for them.

**Mortgage Loans**

*Products*

The Company, through SecurityNational Mortgage, is active in the residential real estate market. SecurityNational Mortgage is approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), and other secondary market investors, to originate a variety of residential mortgage loan products, which are subsequently sold to investors. The Company uses internal and external funding sources to fund mortgage loans.

Security National Life originates and funds commercial real estate loans, residential construction loans, and land development loans for internal investment.

*Markets and Distribution*

The Company's residential mortgage lending services are marketed primarily to real estate brokers, builders and directly to consumers. The Company has a strong retail origination presence in the Utah, Florida, Texas, Nevada and Arizona markets and many other states across the country. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition" and "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional disclosure and discussion regarding mortgage loans.

**Recent Acquisitions and Other Business Activities**

*Real Estate Development*

The Company is capitalizing on the opportunity to develop commercial and residential assets on its existing and recently acquired properties. The cost to acquire existing for-sale assets currently exceeds the replacement costs, thus creating the opportunity for development and redevelopment of the land that the Company currently owns. The Company has developed, or is in the process of developing, assets that have an initial development cost exceeding $100,000,000, primarily relating to the Center53 Development and multiple single family residential development projects. The Company plans to continue its development endeavors based upon its assessment of the market demand.

*<u>Center53 Development</u>*

Center53 Development is an office development project comprising nearly 20 acres of land that is currently owned by the Company in the central valley of Salt Lake City. At final completion, the multi-year phased development is expected to create a campus atmosphere and include nearly one million square-feet of office space in five buildings, ranging from four to eleven stories, and will be serviced by three parking structures with approximately 4,000 stalls. In 2015, the Company broke ground and commenced development on the first phase which included a six-story building of nearly 200,000 square feet and a parking garage with 748 parking stalls. The first phase of the project was completed in July 2017 and is currently 93% leased. The second phase of the project began in March 2020 and includes a second six-story building of nearly 221,000 square feet and a parking garage with approximately 870 stalls. The Company began its occupancy of a portion of the building in October 2021 and the remainder of the building is currently 100% leased. The Company plans to initiate future phases of the Center53 Development for additional Class A office space in the central valley of Salt Lake City.

**Regulation**

The Company's insurance subsidiaries are subject to comprehensive regulations in the jurisdictions in which they do business under statutes and regulations administered by state insurance commissioners. Such regulation relates to, among other things, prior approval of the acquisition of a controlling interest in an insurance company; standards of solvency which must be met and maintained; licensing of insurers and their agents; nature of and limitations on investments; deposits of securities for the benefit of policyholders; approval of policy forms and premium rates; periodic examinations of the affairs of insurance companies; annual and other reports required to be filed on the financial condition of insurers or for other purposes; and requirements regarding aggregate reserves for life policies and annuity contracts, policy claims, unearned premiums, and other matters. The Company's insurance subsidiaries are subject to this type of regulation in any state in which they conduct relevant business. Such regulations may cause unforeseen costs and operational restrictions, and delay implementation of the Company's business plans.

The Company's life insurance subsidiaries are currently subject to regulations in Utah, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas under insurance holding company legislation, and other states where applicable. Generally, intercompany transfers of assets and dividend payments from insurance subsidiaries are subject to prior notice of approval from the relevant state insurance department when they are deemed "extraordinary" under relevant state law. The insurance subsidiaries are required, under state insurance laws, to file detailed annual reports with the supervisory agencies in each of the states in which they do business. Their business and accounts are also subject to examination by these agencies every three to five years. The Company's life insurance subsidiaries completed their last examinations in 2021 and 2022 for the period ending December 31, 2020 and the resulting final examination reports were approved by the insurance departments and are public records. Security National Life, First Guaranty, Kilpatrick, Southern Security, and Trans-Western are currently under examination by the insurance departments for the years 2021-2024.

The Texas Department of Banking also audits pre-need insurance policies that are issued in the state of Texas. Pre-need policies include the life and annuity products sold as the funding mechanism for funeral plans through funeral homes by Security National agents. The Company is required to send the Texas Department of Banking an annual report that summarizes the number of policies in force and the face amount or death benefit for each policy. This annual report is also required to indicate the number of new policies issued for that year, all death claims paid that year, and all premiums received.

The Company's cemetery and mortuary subsidiaries are subject to the Federal Trade Commission's comprehensive funeral industry rules and to state regulations in the various states where such operations are domiciled. The morticians must be licensed by the respective state in which they provide their services. Similarly, the mortuaries and cemeteries are governed and licensed by state statutes and city ordinances in Utah, California, and New Mexico. The subsidiaries are required to keep annual reports on file including financial information concerning the number of spaces sold and, where applicable, funds provided to the Endowment Care Trust Fund. Licenses are issued annually based on such reports. The cemeteries maintain city or county licenses where they conduct business.

The Company's mortgage subsidiaries are subject to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and to various state licensing acts and regulations and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). These regulations, among other things, specify minimum capital requirements; procedures for loan origination and underwriting, licensing of brokers and loan officers and quality review audits and specify the fees that can be charged to borrowers. Each year, the Company is required to have an audit completed for its mortgage subsidiary by an independent registered public accounting firm to verify compliance with the relevant regulations. In addition to the government regulations, the Company must meet loan requirements, and underwriting guidelines of various investors who purchase the loans.

**Income Taxes**

The Company's insurance subsidiaries, Security National Life, First Guaranty and Kilpatrick are taxed under the Life Insurance Company Tax Act of 1984. Under the act, life insurance companies are taxed at standard corporate rates on life insurance company taxable income. Life insurance company taxable income is gross income less general business deductions and reserves for future policyholder benefits (with modifications). Under The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"), December 31, 2017 policyholder surplus account balances result in taxable income over a period of eight years.

Security National Life, First Guaranty and Kilpatrick calculate their life insurance taxable income after establishing a provision representing a portion of the costs of acquisition of such life insurance business. The effect of the provision is that a certain percentage of the Company's premium income is characterized as deferred expenses and recognized over a five or ten-year period. The Tax Act changed this recognition period for amounts deferred after December 31, 2017 to a five or fifteen-year period.

The Company's non-life insurance company subsidiaries are taxed in general under the regular corporate tax provisions. The Company's subsidiaries Southern Security and Trans-Western are regulated as life insurance companies but do not meet the Internal Revenue Code definition of a life insurance company, so they are taxed as insurance companies other than life insurance companies.

**Competition**

The life insurance industry is highly competitive. There are approximately 700 legal reserve life insurance companies in business in the United States. These insurance companies differentiate themselves through marketing techniques, product features, pricing, and customer service. The Company's insurance subsidiaries compete with many insurance companies, many of which have greater financial resources, longer business histories, and more diversified lines of insurance products than the Company. In addition, such companies generally have larger sales forces. Further, the Company competes with mutual insurance companies which may have a competitive advantage because all profits accrue to policyholders. Because the Company is smaller by industry standards and lacks broad diversification of risk, it may be more vulnerable to losses than larger, better-established companies. The Company believes that its policies and rates for the markets it serves are generally competitive.

The cemetery and mortuary industry are highly competitive. In the Utah, California, and New Mexico markets where the Company competes, there are several cemeteries and mortuaries which have longer business histories, more established positions in the community, and stronger financial positions than the Company. In addition, some of the cemeteries with which the Company must compete for sales are owned by municipalities and, as a result, can offer lower prices than can the Company. The Company bears the cost of a pre-need sales program that is not incurred by those competitors which do not have a pre-need sales force. The Company believes that its products and prices are generally competitive with those in the industry.

The mortgage industry is highly competitive with many mortgage companies and banks in the same geographic area in which the Company is operating. The mortgage industry in general is sensitive to changes in interest rates and the refinancing market is particularly vulnerable to changes in interest rates.

**Seasonality**

The Company's business is generally not subject to seasonal fluctuations.

**Human Capital Management**

As of December 31, 2025, the Company employed 1,035 full-time and 208 part-time employees. Of the full-time employees, 652 were employed by the mortgage segment, 386 by the life insurance segment, and 205 by the cemetery and mortuary segment. The Company requires monthly acknowledgement of its anti-discrimination and anti-harassment policies and communicates to its employees how to report concerns that relate to their employment experience.

*Employee Benefits*

All eligible employees may elect coverage under the Company's group health (including health savings and flexible spending), retirement, supplemental life and voluntary benefit programs. As of December 31, 2025, 677 employees had elected to participate in the Company's group health insurance plans.

The Company sponsors a 401(k) retirement plan for each business segment. These retirement plans qualify under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code and, if approved by the Company's Board of Directors, the Company makes a matching contribution in Company stock based on the employee's contribution amount.

The Company provides other time off benefits such as paid sick time and paid vacation time. The Company provides discounts on certain services provided by the Company to its employees. Additionally, the Company offers an employee assistance program that provides 24/7 counseling services for employees who may be facing challenges outside of the workplace.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors**

As a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to provide information typically disclosed under this item.

**Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments**

None. As a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to provide information typically disclosed under this item.

**Item 1C. Cybersecurity**

The Company maintains a strong information security program and systems ("Cybersecurity System") to guard against unauthorized access, malicious software, corruption of data, disruption of its networks and systems and unauthorized release of confidential information. The Company's Cybersecurity System is comprised of multiple layers of controls to reduce the risk of cybersecurity incidents.

*Risk Management and Strategy* 

The Company's Cybersecurity System includes administrative, technical, and physical safeguards and is designed to provide an appropriate level of protection to maintain the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the Company's and its customers' information. This includes protecting against known and evolving threats to the security of the Company's systems and information, and against unauthorized access, compromise, or loss of data. The Cybersecurity System is managed centrally, so the same security controls, policies and procedures are implemented across the organization. The Company maintains cybersecurity policies including an Acceptable Use Policy that all system users sign to acknowledge that they understand their security responsibilities. All system users receive security awareness training which includes phishing attack simulation testing.

A key element of the Company's Cybersecurity System is to mature the program to align with the Center for Internet Security (CIS) Critical Security Controls security framework. CIS controls are designed based on real-world data about cyber-attacks, to ensure that the measures are effective against current threats. The framework provides a prioritized set of actions, which enables the Company to focus its efforts on the most effective defensive measures first. This prioritization helps in optimizing the use of resources for maximum impact on security. This strategy provides a structured and effective approach to cybersecurity, helping the Company to protect its assets, comply with regulations, manage risks, and improve its overall security posture.

The Company maintains cyber insurance coverage that may, subject to policy terms, conditions, and limitations, cover certain aspects of cybersecurity risks; however, such insurance coverage may be unavailable or insufficient to cover all losses or all types of claims that may arise in the continually evolving area of cyber risk.

*Governance* 

 

The Company has established controls and procedures to escalate enterprise-level issues, including cybersecurity matters, to the appropriate management levels within its organization and to its Board of Directors, or members or committees thereof, as appropriate. The Company's Board of Directors has oversight for enterprise risk management, including its approach to managing cybersecurity risk, and has delegated oversight responsibility of information security risks to its Audit Committee. Matters determined to present potential material impacts to the Company's financial results, operations, and/or reputation are reported by management to the Company's Board of Directors or its Audit Committee, as appropriate, in accordance with its escalation framework.

In addition, the Company has established procedures to ensure that management personnel are informed in a timely manner of known cybersecurity risks and incidents that may materially impact the Company's operations and that timely public disclosure is made as appropriate. The Company's Cybersecurity System is led by the Chief Information Officer ("CIO") in collaboration with a third-party virtual Chief Information Security Officer ("vCISO") and other third-party cybersecurity service providers which in turn assist in monitoring the Company's exposure from significant information technology suppliers, significant software as service providers and major vendors with access to the Company's information technology systems. The Company's CIO has 10+ years of cybersecurity industry experience. Further, team members who support the Company's cybersecurity program have relevant educational and industry experience through various roles involving information technology, security, auditing, compliance, systems, and programming, as well as cybersecurity certifications such as a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) and Certified Information Security Manager (CISM). During the last three years, the Company has not experienced a material security breach and, as a result, the Company has not incurred any material expenses from such a breach. Furthermore, during such time, the Company has not been penalized or paid any amount under any information security breach settlement.

**PART II**

**Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Stock, Related Stockholder Matters, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities**

The Company's Class A Common Stock trades on The Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol "SNFCA." As of March 12, 2026, the closing stock price of the Class A Common Stock was $8.67 per share.

**Mortgage Operations**

The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, SecurityNational Mortgage, is a mortgage lender 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), which originates mortgage loans that qualify for government insurance in the event of default by the borrower, in addition to various conventional mortgage loan products. SecurityNational Mortgage originates and refinances mortgage loans on a retail basis. Mortgage loans originated or refinanced by SecurityNational Mortgage are funded through loan purchase agreements with the Company, Security National Life, Kilpatrick Life, and unaffiliated financial institutions.

SecurityNational Mortgage receives fees from borrowers that are involved in mortgage loan originations and refinancings, and secondary fees earned from third party investors that purchase the mortgage loans. Mortgage loans are generally sold with mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") released to third-party investors or retained by SecurityNational Mortgage. SecurityNational Mortgage currently retains the MSRs on approximately 0.85% of its loan origination volume. These mortgage loans are serviced by either SecurityNational Mortgage or an approved third-party sub-servicer.

Mortgage rates have followed the US Treasury yields in response to inflation and slowing new home sales. As expected, the lack of mortgage rate reductions has resulted in a decrease in loan originations classified as 'refinance.' Higher than anticipated mortgage rates have also had a negative effect on loan originations classified as 'purchases' although not as significant as those in the refinance classification.

For 2025, and 2024, SecurityNational Mortgage originated 6,844 loans ($2,296,055,000 total volume) and 7,269 loans ($2,295,830,000 total volume), respectively.

The following table shows the condensed financial results for the Company's mortgage operations for 2025, and 2024. See Note 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

**Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates**

The Company's significant accounting policies are fundamental to understanding its results of operations and financial condition as they require that the Company use estimates and assumptions that may affect the value of its assets or liabilities and financial results. See Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Two of these policies, discussed below, relate to critical estimates because they require management to make difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because it is likely that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company's Management and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors have reviewed and approved the accounting policies associated with these critical estimates.

Future Policy Benefits

A liability for future policy benefits is accrued as premium revenue is recognized, which is the present value of expected future policy benefits to be paid to or on behalf of policyholders less the present value of expected future net premiums to be collected from policyholders. This liability is calculated using a discount rate assumption that is an upper-medium grade fixed-income instrument yield as provided by Bloomberg's Evaluated Pricing ("BVAL") methodology. This discount rate for a particular cohort is locked-in when that cohort is closed to new contracts and is used for purposes of interest accretion for the future policy benefits liability and is reflected in policyholder benefits and claims on the consolidated statements of earnings. The current rate as of each reporting date is used to calculate an adjusted future policy benefit liability and is recognized through accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"). Other assumptions include best-estimate mortality and lapse rates that are based on the company's historical experience, industry data, and other factors; also estimates of expected non-level costs, such as termination or settlement costs. Routine policy maintenance costs are not included. These assumptions are reviewed at least annually. Any changes to these assumptions will be reflected in policyholder benefits and claims on the consolidated statements of earnings. The DPL equals accumulated deferrals (prior to and including the valuation date) minus accumulated amortization, where "deferrals" equals the difference between gross and net premium, and "amortization" equals the product of the measure of in force policies (units in force) and an amortization ratio which is updated at the same time as the net premium ratio.

Deferred Acquisition Costs and Value of Business Acquired

Commissions and other acquisition costs, net of commission and expense allowances for reinsurance ceded, that vary with and are primarily related to the production of new insurance business that have been incurred are deferred. For traditional long-duration life insurance products, deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC") are amortized on a constant-level basis established on a cohort-grouped contract basis over the expected term of the related contracts, with the amortization basis being units in force using assumptions consistent with those used in computing the liability for future policy benefits. For policyholder account balance insurance products, DAC is amortized using the policy counts for annuities and units in-force for interest sensitive life products. Deferred acquisition costs are written off when policies terminate.

Value of business acquired ("VOBA") is the present value of estimated future profits of the acquired business and is amortized the same way as DAC.

**Results of Consolidated Operations** 

**2025 Compared to 2024**

Total revenues increased by $10,065,000, or 3.0%, to $344,588,000 for 2025 from $334,523,000 for 2024. Contributing to this increase in total revenues was primarily a $7,613,000 increase in net investment income, a $2,695,000 increase in gains on investments and other assets, a $651,000 increase in mortgage fee income, and a $101,000 increase in insurance premiums and other considerations. This increase in total revenues was offset by a $662,000 decrease in other revenues and a $333,000 decrease in net cemetery and mortuary sales.

Mortgage fee income increased by $651,000, or 0.6%, to $108,209,000 for 2025, from $107,558,000 for 2024. This increase was primarily due to a $5,462,000 increase in secondary gains from mortgage loans sold to third-party investors into the secondary market. This increase in mortgage fee income was partially offset by a $3,817,000 decrease in the fair value of loans held for sale and loan commitments and a $994,000 decrease in loan fees and interest income net of the provision for loan loss reserve.

Insurance premiums and other considerations increased by $101,000, or 0.1%, to $119,757,000 for 2025, from $119,656,000 for 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $2,564,000 in renewal premiums due to the growth of the Company in recent years, particularly in whole life products, which resulted in more premium paying policies in force. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of $2,463,000 in first year premiums because of decreased preneed insurance sales.

Net investment income increased by $7,613,000, or 10.6%, to $79,338,000 for 2025, from $71,725,000 for 2024. This increase was primarily attributable to a $9,875,000 increase in mortgage loan interest, a $1,603,000 increase in fixed maturity securities income, a $928,000 increase in insurance assignment income, $258,000 increase in rental income from real estate held for investment, a $189,000 increase in income in other investments, a $156,000 increase in equity securities income, and a $12,000 increase in policy loan income. This increase was partially offset by a $2,773,000 increase in investment expenses and a $2,635,000 decrease in interest on cash and cash equivalents.

Net mortuary and cemetery sales decreased by $333,000, or 1.1%, to $28,704,000 for 2025, from $29,037,000 for 2024. This decrease was primarily due to an $888,000 decrease in cemetery pre-need sales. This decrease was partially offset by a $526,000 increase in mortuary at-need sales and a $29,000 increase in cemetery at-need sales.

Gains on investments and other assets increased by $2,695,000, or 138.8%, to $4,636,000 for 2025, from $1,942,000 for 2024. This increase in gains on investments and other assets was primarily due to a $1,167,000 increase in gains on mortgage loans held for investment, an $864,000 increase in gains on real estate held for investment and sale, and an $856,000 increase in gains on equity securities mostly attributable to increases in the fair value of these equity securities. This increase was partially offset by a $101,000 decrease in gains on fixed maturity securities and a $91,000 decrease in gains on other investments and assets.

Other revenues decreased by $662,000, or 14.4%, to $3,942,000 for 2025 from $4,604,000 for 2024. This decrease was primarily attributable to a $1,350,000 legal settlement that was received in 2024, which was partially offset by an increase in other miscellaneous revenues in 2025.

Total benefits and expenses were $303,178,000, or 88.0% of total revenues for 2025, as compared to $297,149,000, or 88.8% of total revenues for 2024.

Policyholder benefits and claims increased by an aggregate of $205,000, or 0.2%, to $100,818,000 for 2025, from $100,613,000 for 2024. This increase was primarily the result of a $2,306,000 increase in death benefits and a $485,000 increase in surrender and other policy benefits. This increase was partially offset by a $2,586,000 decrease in future policy benefits.

Amortization of deferred policy and pre-need acquisition costs and value of business acquired increased by $648,000, or 5.9%, to $11,661,000 for 2025, from $11,013,000 for 2024. This increase is due to a $689,000 increase in the amortization of deferred policy and pre-need acquisition costs due to an increase in the average outstanding balance. This increase was partially offset by a $41,000 decrease in the amortization of value of business acquired due to no new deferrals and a decreasing average outstanding balance.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by an aggregate of $5,055,000, or 2.9%, to $181,520,000 for 2025, from $176,465,000 for 2024. This increase was primarily the result of a $3,370,000 increase in other expenses, a $2,067,000 increase in personnel expenses, a $488,000 increase in costs related to funding mortgage loans, a $400,000 increase in advertising expenses, a $76,000 increase in commissions, and a $42,000 increase in depreciation on property and equipment. This increase was partially offset by a $1,386,000 decrease in rent and rent related expenses.

Interest expense increased by $265,000, or 6.2%, to $4,519,000 for 2025, from $4,254,000 for 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $256,000 in interest expense on mortgage warehouse lines of credit for loans held for sale and an increase of $9,000 in interest expense on bank loans.

Income tax expense increased by $1,002,000, or 12.1%, to $9,257,000 for 2025, from $8,255,000 for 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in earnings before income taxes for 2025 compared to 2024. The Company's overall effective tax rate increased from 22.1% for 2024 to 22.4% in 2025, a 0.3% increase in the effective tax rate or a 1.4% change. This increase was partially due to an increase in non-deductible items.

**Risks**

The following is a description of the material risks facing the Company and how it mitigates those risks:

<u>Legal and Regulatory Risks</u>. Changes in the legal or regulatory environment in which the Company operates may create additional expenses and risks not anticipated by the Company in developing and pricing its products. Regulatory initiatives designed to reduce insurer profits, new legal theories or insurance company insolvencies through guaranty fund assessments may create costs for the insurer beyond those recorded in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, changes in tax law with respect to mortgage interest deductions or other public policy or legislative changes may affect the Company's mortgage sales. Also, the Company may be subject to further regulations in the cemetery and mortuary business. The Company aims to mitigate these risks by offering a wide range of products and by diversifying its operations, thus reducing its exposure to any single product or jurisdiction, and by employing underwriting practices that identify and minimize the adverse impact of such risks.

<u>Mortgage Industry Risks</u>. Developments in the mortgage industry and credit markets can adversely affect the Company's ability to sell its mortgage loans to investors, which can impact the Company's financial results by requiring it to assume the risk of holding and servicing any unsold loans.

The mortgage loan loss reserve is an estimate of probable losses at the balance sheet date that the Company could realize in the future on mortgage loans sold to third-party investors. The Company's mortgage subsidiary may be required to reimburse third-party investors for costs associated with early payoff of loans within the first six months of such loans and to repurchase loans where there is a default in any of the first four monthly payments to the investors or, in lieu of repurchase, to pay a negotiated fee to the investors. The Company's estimates are based upon historical loss experience and the best estimate of the probable loan loss liabilities.

During 2025 and 2024 the Company decreased its loan loss reserve by $312,000 and increased its loan loss reserve by $150,000, respectively, for loan originations, and the charges have been included in mortgage fee income. The estimated liability for indemnification losses is included in other liabilities and accrued expenses and, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the balances were $384,000 and $697,000, respectively. The Company believes the loan loss reserve represents probable loan losses incurred as of December 31, 2025. There is a risk, however, that future loan losses may exceed the loan loss reserve.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company's mortgage loans held for investment portfolio consisted of mortgage loans in an aggregate principal amount of $6,516,000 with delinquencies exceeding 90 days. Of this amount, loans with an aggregate principal amount of $1,204,000 were in foreclosure proceedings. The Company has not received or recognized any interest income on the $6,516,000 in mortgage loans with delinquencies exceeding 90 days. During 2025 and 2024, the Company increased its allowance for credit losses by $704,000 and decreased it by $1,934,000, respectively, which was charged to bad debt expense and included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the period. The main reasons for the increase in 2025 when compared to 2024 were due to an increase in the commercial loan held for investment portfolio and in the residential construction loan held for investment portfolio. The allowances for credit losses on the Company's mortgage loans held for investment portfolio as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $2,589,000 and $1,885,000, respectively.

<u>Interest Rate Risk</u>. Fluctuations in interest rates may cause a decrease in the value of the Company's investments or impair the ability of the Company to market its mortgage and cemetery and mortuary products. This change in rates may cause certain interest-sensitive products to become uncompetitive or may cause disintermediation. The Company aims to mitigate this risk by charging fees for non-conformance with certain policy provisions, by offering products that transfer this risk to the purchaser, and by attempting to match the maturity schedule of its assets with the expected payouts of its liabilities. To the extent that liabilities come due more quickly than assets mature, the Company might have to borrow funds or sell assets prior to maturity and potentially recognize a loss on the sale.

<u>Mortality and Morbidity Risks</u>. The Company's actuarial assumptions differing from actual mortality and morbidity experienced may mean that the Company's relevant products sold were underpriced, may require the Company to liquidate insurance or make other claims earlier than planned, and have other potentially adverse consequences to the business. The Company aims to minimize this risk through sound underwriting practices, asset and liability duration matching, and sound actuarial practices.

<u>Estimates</u>. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near term are those used in determining the value of derivative assets and liabilities; those used in determining deferred acquisition costs and the value of business acquired; those used in determining the liability for future policy benefits; those used in determining the value of loans held for sale; and those used in determining loan loss reserve. Although some variability is inherent in these estimates, management believes the amounts provided are fairly stated in all material respects.

**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 sale or maturity of investments. The mortgage subsidiaries realize cash flow from fees generated by originating and refinancing mortgage loans and fees on mortgage loans held for sale that are sold to investors into the secondary market. It should be noted that current conditions in the financial markets and economy may affect the realization of these expected cash flows. 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.

As of December 31, 2025, SecurityNational Mortgage was not in compliance with the net income covenant of the US Bank, Western Alliance Bank and JP Morgan Chase Bank warehouse lines of credit. SecurityNational Mortgage has since received waivers from each of these lenders with respect to this covenant. In the unlikely event the Company is required to repay the outstanding advances of approximately $4,173,449 on the warehouse lines of credit, the Company has sufficient cash to do so. The Company has also performed an analysis of its funding capacities from both internal and external sources and has determined that there are sufficient funds to continue its current business model. The Company continues to negotiate other warehouse lines of credit with other lenders.

During 2025 and 2024, the Company's operations provided cash of $45,540,000 and of $57,320,000, respectively. The decrease in cash provided by operations was due primarily to a decrease in proceeds from loans held for sale.

The Company expects to pay out liabilities under its funeral plans over the long term given the nature of those plans. Funeral plans are small face value life insurance policies that payout upon a person's death to cover funeral burial costs; policyholders generally keep these policies in force until, and do not surrender prior to, death. Because of the long-term nature of these liabilities, the Company can hold to maturity or for the targeted investment period its corresponding bond, real estate, and mortgage loan investments, thus reducing the risk of liquidating these long-term investments because of any sudden changes in their 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 matching. The Company purchases short-term investments on a temporary basis to meet the expected short-term requirements of the Company's insurance products. The Company's investment philosophy is intended to provide a rate of return for the expected duration of its cemetery and mortuary policies that will exceed the accruing of liabilities under those policies regardless of future interest rate movements.

The Company's investment policy is also to invest predominantly in fixed maturity securities, real estate, mortgage loans, and warehousing of mortgage loans held for sale. The warehoused mortgage loans are typically held for sale on a short-term basis before selling the loans to investors in accordance with the requirements and laws governing the Company's life insurance subsidiaries. Bonds owned by the insurance subsidiaries amounted to $365,986,000 (at estimated fair value) and $348,774,000 (at estimated fair value) as of December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. This represented 35.2% and 38.0% of the total investments of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Generally, all bonds owned by the life insurance subsidiaries are rated by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. Under this rating system, there are six categories used for the rating of bonds. As of December 31, 2025, 1.6% (or $5,825,000) and as of December 31, 2024, 2.4% (or $8,431,000) of the insurance subsidiaries' total bond investments were invested in bonds in rating categories three through six, which are considered non-investment grade.

See Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the schedule of the maturity of fixed maturity securities available for sale and for the schedule of principal payments for mortgage loans held for investment.

See Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the Company's sources of liquidity.

If market conditions were to cause interest rates to change, the fair value of the Company's fixed income portfolio (of approximately $705,213,000), which includes bonds, preferred stocks and mortgage loans held for investment, could change by the following amounts based on the respective basis point swing (the change in the fair values were calculated using a modeling technique):

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | -200 bps | -100 bps | +100 bps | +200 bps |
| Change in Fair Value | $50112 | $22837 | $(23334) | $(47001) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(in thousands) |  |  |  |  |

The Company's life insurance subsidiaries are 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. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the life insurance subsidiaries were in compliance with the regulatory criteria.

The Company's total capitalization of stockholders' equity, and bank loans and other loans payable were $508,757,000 and $488,639,000 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This increase was primarily due to a $28,470,000 increase in stockholders' equity, which was partially offset by a decrease of $8,352,000 in bank loans and other loans payable. Stockholders' equity as a percentage of total capitalization was 80.7% and 78.2% as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Lapse rates measure the amount of insurance terminated during a particular period. The Company's lapse rate for life insurance was 7.2% for 2025 as compared to a rate of 7.0% for 2024.

The combined statutory capital and surplus of the Company's life insurance subsidiaries was $139,068,000 and $120,216,000 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The life insurance subsidiaries cannot pay dividends to their parent company without the approval of state insurance regulatory authorities.

**Forward-Looking Statements**

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their businesses without fear of litigation so long as those statements are identified as forward-looking and are accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in such statements. The Company desires to take advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions of the act.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements, together with related data and projections, about the Company's projected financial results and its plans and strategies. However, the actual results and needs of the Company may vary materially from forward-looking statements and projections made from time to time by the Company based on management's then-current expectations. The business in which the Company is engaged involves changing and competitive markets, which may involve a high degree of risk, and there can be no assurance that forward-looking statements and projections will prove accurate.

Factors that may cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those contemplated or projected, forecast, estimated or budgeted in such forward looking statements include among others, the following possibilities: (i) heightened competition, including the intensification of price competition, the entry of new competitors, and the introduction of new products by new and existing competitors; (ii) adverse state and federal legislation or regulation, including decreases in rates, limitations on premium levels, increases in minimum capital and reserve requirements, benefit mandates and tax treatment of insurance products; (iii) fluctuations in interest rates causing a reduction of investment income or increase in interest expense and in the market value of interest rate sensitive investment; (iv) failure to obtain new customers, retain existing customers or reductions in policies in force by existing customers; (v) higher service, administrative, or general expenses due to the need for additional advertising, marketing, administrative or management information systems expenditures; (vi) loss or retirement of key executives or employees; (vii) increases in medical costs; (viii) changes in the Company's liquidity due to changes in asset and liability matching; (ix) restrictions on insurance underwriting based on genetic testing and other criteria; (x) adverse changes in the ratings obtained by independent rating agencies; (xi) failure to maintain adequate reinsurance; (xii) possible claims relating to sales practices for insurance products and claim denials; (xiii) adverse trends in mortality and morbidity; (xiv) deterioration of real estate markets; and (xv) lawsuits in the ordinary course of business.

**Off-Balance Sheet Agreements**

The Company has commitments to fund existing construction and land development loans pursuant to the various loan agreements. As of December 31, 2025, the Company's commitments were approximately $201,220,000 for these loans, of which $158,908,000 had been drawn. The Company advances funds in accordance with the loan agreements 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 and interest for these loans and the interest rate is generally fixed at 5.25% to 8.50% per annum. Maturities range between six and eighteen months.

**Contractual Obligations**

In the ordinary course of the Company's operations, the Company enters certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include operating leases for office space, agreements with respect to borrowed funds and future policy benefits. See Notes 15, 16, and 24 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about these obligations.

**Captive Insurance Participation**

The Company has a limited equity interest in a captive insurance entity (the "Captive') that provides workers compensation, general liability and automobile insurance . This program permits the Company to pool insurance risks and resources with like-minded companies in order to obtain more competitive pricing for claims administration, stop loss insurance premiums and to limit its risk of loss in any particular year. The Captive also provides access to a wide array of safety-related services and regular safety training to help the Company control claims. The maximum exposure to a loss related to the Company's involvement in the Captive is limited to approximately $443,758, which is collateralized under a standby letter of credit issued on the insurance entity's behalf. See Note 24 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of commitments associated with the insurance program. The Company has been a member of the Captive since 2006 and does not expect any material losses to result from the issuance of the standby letter of credit given the Company's past performance.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the stockholders and the Board of Directors of Security National Financial Corporation

**Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Security National Financial Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows, for each of the two years ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 16, 2026, expressed an adverse opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting because of a material weakness.

**Change in Accounting Principle**

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting, measurement, and disclosure of long-duration contracts effective December 31, 2025, using the modified retrospective method applied as of the transition date of January 1, 2024, due to adoption of ASU 2018-12, *Financial Services - Insurance (Topic 944): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts* ("ASU 2018-12"). The adoption is also communicated as a critical audit matter below.

**Basis for Opinion**

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Critical Audit Matters**

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

***Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements - Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts - Refer to Note 1 to the Financial Statements***

 

*Critical Audit Matter Description*

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-12, Financial Services—Insurance (Topic 944): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts ("ASU 2018-12") on December 31, 2025 using the modified retrospective application as of the transition date of January 1, 2024.

The adoption of ASU 2018-12 significantly modified the Company's accounting for and disclosure of long-duration life insurance contracts. We identified the adoption of ASU 2018-12 as a critical audit matter because of the need to involve actuarial specialists to evaluate assumptions and valuation models, the extent of audit effort required, and the inherent complexity involved in the selection and application of new accounting policies.

 

*How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit*

Our audit procedures related to the adoption of ASU 2018-12 included the following, among others:

● We
 tested the effectiveness of controls over the application of new accounting policies and
 disclosure of the impact of adoption discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, including
 controls over the valuation models and mortality and lapse assumptions used to estimate the liability for future
 policy benefits and amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs.

● We
 evaluated the appropriateness of the Company's selection and application of accounting
 policies in connection with the adoption of the ASU 2018-12.

● With
 the assistance of our actuarial specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the valuation
 models and assumptions used to estimate the liability for future policy benefits and amortization
 of deferred policy acquisition costs.

*F**uture Policy Benefits for Life Insurance Contracts and Amortization of Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs for Insurance Contracts – Certain Underlying Assumptions for Certain Products- Refer to Notes 1, 9, and 12 to the financial statements***

 

*Critical Audit Matter Description*

The Company's management sets assumptions in (1) estimating a liability for life insurance policy benefit payments that will be made in the future (future policy benefits for life insurance contracts) and (2) determining amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs for insurance contracts. The most significant assumptions include mortality and lapse. Assumptions are determined based on the company's historical experience, industry data, and other factors. Given the inherent uncertainty of these assumptions, auditing the development of such assumptions involved especially subjective judgment.

 

*How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit*

Our audit procedures related to management's judgments regarding the mortality and lapse assumptions used in the development of future policy benefits for life insurance contracts and the amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs for insurance contracts, included the following, among others:

◌ Evaluated management's methods, calculations and judgments regarding the development of these assumptions including evaluating the results of experience studies used as the basis for setting those assumptions.

◌ Evaluated on a sample basis, through independent calculation of future policy benefits and amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs, the mathematical accuracy of management's calculations, the appropriateness of valuation models, and whether these assumptions were properly applied.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

1) Significant Accounting Policies

**General Overview of Business**

Security National Financial Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the "Company") operate in three reportable business segments: life insurance, cemetery and mortuary, and mortgages. The life insurance segment is engaged in the business of selling and servicing selected lines of life insurance and annuity products marketed primarily in the states located in western, mid-western and southern regions of the United States. The cemetery and mortuary segment of the Company consists of eleven mortuaries and five cemeteries in Utah, one cemetery in California, and four mortuaries and one cemetery in New Mexico. The mortgage segment is an approved government and conventional lender that originates and underwrites residential and commercial loans for new construction, existing homes, and real estate projects primarily in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Utah.

**Basis of Presentation**

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP").

**Principles of Consolidation**

These consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

**Use of Estimates**

Management of the Company has made several estimates and assumptions related to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, reported amounts of revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near term are those used in determining the value of derivative assets and liabilities; those used in determining deferred acquisition costs and the value of business acquired; those used in determining the liability for future policy benefits; those used in determining the value of loans held for sale; and those used in determining loan loss reserve. Although some variability is inherent in these estimates, management believes the amounts provided are fairly stated in all material respects.

**Reclassifications**

Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-period presentation.

**Investments**

The Company's management determines the appropriate classifications of investments in fixed maturity securities and equity securities at the acquisition date and re-evaluates the classifications at each balance sheet date.

<u>Fixed maturity securities available for sale</u> are carried at estimated fair value. Changes in fair values are reported as unrealized gains or losses and are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

<u>Equity securities</u> are carried at estimated fair value. Changes in fair values are reported as unrealized gains or losses and are recorded through net earnings as a component of gains (losses) on investments and other assets.

AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

1) <u>Significant Accounting Policies</u> (Continued)

<u>Mortgage loans held for investment</u> are carried at their unpaid principal balances adjusted for net deferred fees, charge-offs, premiums, discounts, and the related allowance for credit losses. Interest income is included in net investment income on the consolidated statements of earnings and is recognized when earned. The Company defers related material loan origination fees, net of related direct loan origination costs, and amortizes the net fees over the term of the loans. Origination fees are included in net investment income on the consolidated statements of earnings. Mortgage loans are secured by the underlying property and require an appraisal at the time of underwriting and funding. Generally, the Company requires that loans not exceed 80% of the fair market value of the respective loan collateral. For loans of more than 80% of the fair market value of the respective loan collateral, additional collateral or mortgage insurance by an approved third-party insurer is required.

<u>Real estate held for investment</u> is carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the properties or is adjusted to a new basis for impairment in value, if any. Included, if any, are foreclosed properties. These properties are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value upon foreclosure. Also, included is residential subdivision land development which is carried at cost.

<u>Real estate held for sale</u> is carried at lower of cost or fair value, less estimated costs to sell. Included, if any, are foreclosed properties. These properties are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value upon foreclosure. Depreciation is not recognized on real estate classified as held for sale.

<u>Other investments and policy loans</u> are carried at the aggregate unpaid balances, less allowances for credit losses.

<u>Accrued investment income</u> refers to the income earned from investments that has not yet been received by the Company.

<u>Gains (losses) on investments (except for equity securities carried at fair value through net earnings)</u> arise when investments are sold and are recorded on the trade date and the cost of the securities sold is determined using the specific identification method. The provision (release) for credit losses for fixed maturity securities available for sale are also included in gains (losses) on investments. See Note 2 for more information regarding the Company's evaluation of credit losses.

**Cash and Cash Equivalents**

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

**Loans Held for Sale**

Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") No. 825, "Financial Instruments", allows for the option to report certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value initially and at subsequent measurement dates with changes in fair value included in earnings. The option may be applied instrument by instrument, but it is irrevocable. The Company elected the fair value option for loans held for sale. The Company believes the fair value option most closely aligns the timing of the recognition of gains and costs. These loans are intended for sale and the Company believes that fair value is the best indicator of the resolution of these loans. Electing fair value also reduces certain timing differences and better matches changes in the fair value of these assets with changes in the fair value of the related derivatives used for these assets.

1) <u>Significant Accounting Policies</u> (Continued)

The Company, through its mortgage subsidiary, sells mortgage loans to third-party investors without recourse unless defects are identified in the representations and warranties made at loan sale. It may be required, however, to repurchase a loan or pay a fee instead of repurchasing under certain events, which include the following:

● Failure to deliver original documents specified by the investor,

● The existence of misrepresentation or fraud in the origination of the loan,

● The loan becomes delinquent due to nonpayment during the first several months after it is sold,

● Early pay-off of a loan, as defined by the agreements,

● Excessive time to settle a loan,

● Investor declines purchase, and

● Discontinued product and expired commitment.

Loan purchase commitments generally specify a date 30 to 45 days after delivery upon which the underlying loans should be settled. Depending on market conditions, these commitment settlement dates can be extended at a cost to the Company.

It is the Company's policy to cure any documentation problems regarding such loans at a minimal cost for up to a six-month period and to pursue efforts to enforce loan purchase commitments from third-party investors concerning the loans. The Company believes that six months allows adequate time to remedy any documentation issues, to enforce purchase commitments, and to exhaust other alternatives. Remedial methods include the following:

● Research reasons for rejection,

● Provide additional documents,

● Request investor exceptions,

● Appeal rejection decision to purchase committee, and

● Commit to secondary investors.

Once purchase commitments have expired and other alternatives to remedy are exhausted, which could be earlier than the six-month period, the loans are referred to as scratch and dent, within the loans held for sale portfolio. Any previously recognized gain-on-sale or mortgage fee income related to the loan is reversed through earnings. Scratch and dent loans are recorded at fair value. The Company may reclassify a scratch and dent loan to mortgage loans held for investment. At that time, the Company establishes an allowance for credit losses in accordance with the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model over the contractual term of the loan. The allowance is updated each reporting period based on changes in credit quality, including delinquency status.

Determining Fair Value

The cost for loans held for sale is equal to the amount paid to the warehouse bank and the amount originally funded by the Company. Fair value is often difficult to determine and may contain significant unobservable inputs, but is based on the following guidelines:

● For loans that are committed, the Company uses the commitment price.

● For loans that are non-committed that have an active market, the Company uses the market price.

● For loans that are non-committed where there is no market but there is a similar product, the Company uses the fair value for the similar product.

● For loans that are non-committed where no active market exists, the Company determines that the unpaid principal balance best approximates the fair value, after considering the fair value of the underlying real estate collateral, estimated future cash flows, and the loan interest rate.

1) <u>Significant Accounting Policies</u> (Continued)

The appraised value of the real estate underlying the original mortgage loan adds support to the Company's determination of fair value because if the loan becomes delinquent the Company has sufficient value to collect the unpaid principal balance or the carrying value of the loan, thus minimizing credit losses. Most loans originated are sold to third-party investors. The amounts expected to be sold to investors are shown on the consolidated balance sheets as loans held for sale.

Mortgage Fee Income

Mortgage fee income consists of origination fees, processing fees, interest income and other income related to the origination and sale of mortgage loans held for sale. All revenues and costs are recognized when the mortgage loan is funded and any changes in fair value are shown as a component of mortgage fee income.

See Note 3 and Note 21 for additional disclosures regarding loans held for sale and mortgage fee income.

**Loan Loss Reserve**

The loan loss reserve, included in other liabilities and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets, is an estimate of probable losses at the balance sheet date that the Company will realize in the future on loans sold to third-party investors classified as loans held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company may be required to reimburse third-party investors for costs associated with early payoff of loans within six months of origination of such loans and to repurchase loans where there is a default, in any, of the first four monthly payments to the investors or, in lieu of repurchase, to pay a negotiated fee to the investors. The Company's estimates are based upon historical loss experience and the best estimate of the probable loan loss liabilities.

Upon completion of a transfer that satisfies the conditions to be accounted for as a sale, the Company initially measures at fair value liabilities incurred in a sale relating to any guarantee or recourse provisions in the event of defects in the representation and warranties made at loan sale. The Company accrues a monthly allowance for indemnification losses to investors based on total production. This estimate is based on the Company's historical experience and is included as a component of mortgage fee income. Subsequent updates to the recorded liability from changes in assumptions are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses as a component of provision for loan loss reserve. The estimated liability for indemnification losses is included in other liabilities and accrued expenses.

The loan loss reserve analysis involves mortgage loans that have been sold to third-party investors, which were believed to have met investor underwriting guidelines at the time of sale, where the Company has received a demand from the investor. There are generally three types of demands: make whole, repurchase, or indemnification. These types of demands are further described as follows:

*Make whole demand* — A make whole demand occurs when an investor forecloses on a property and then sells the property. The make whole amount is calculated as the difference between the original unpaid principal balance, payments received, accrued interest and fees, less the sale proceeds.

*Repurchase demand* — A repurchase demand usually occurs when there is a significant payment default, error in underwriting or detected loan fraud.

*Indemnification demand* — On certain loans the Company has negotiated a set fee that is to be paid in lieu of repurchase. The fee varies by investor and by loan product type.

The Company believes the loan loss reserve represents probable loan losses incurred as of the balance sheet date.

Additional information related to the Loan Loss Reserve is included in Note 3.

**Restricted Assets**

Restricted assets are assets held in a trust account for future mortuary services and merchandise. Restricted assets also include escrows held for borrowers and investors under servicing and appraisal agreements relating to mortgage loans, funds held by warehouse banks in accordance with loan purchase agreements and funds held in escrow for certain real estate construction development projects. Additionally, the Company funded its medical benefit safe-harbor limit based on the qualified direct costs and has included this amount as a component of restricted cash. Additional information related to restricted assets is included in Notes 2 and 5.

**Cemetery Perpetual Care Trust Investments**

Cemetery endowment care trusts have been set up for five of the seven cemeteries owned by the Company. Under endowment care arrangements a portion of the price for each lot sold is withheld and invested in a portfolio of investments like those described in the prior paragraph. The earnings stream from the investments is designed to fund future maintenance and upkeep of the cemetery. Additional information related to cemetery perpetual care trust investments is included in Notes 2 and 6.

The development of a cemetery involves not only the initial acquisition of raw land but also the installation of roads, water lines, landscaping, and other costs to establish a marketable cemetery lot. The costs of developing the cemetery are shown as an asset on the balance sheet. The amount on the balance sheet is reduced by the total cost assigned to the development of a particular lot when the criterion for recognizing a sale of that lot is met.

**Mortgage Servicing Rights**

Mortgage Servicing Rights ("MSR") arise from contractual agreements between the Company and third-party investors (or their agents) when mortgage loans are sold. Under these contracts, the Company retains and provides loan servicing functions on loans sold, in exchange for fees and other remuneration. The servicing functions typically performed include, among other responsibilities, collecting and remitting loan payments; responding to borrower inquiries; accounting for principal and interest, holding custodial (impound) funds for payment of property taxes and insurance premiums; counseling delinquent mortgagors; and supervising the acquisition of real estate owned and property dispositions.

The total residential mortgage loans serviced for others consist primarily of agency conforming fixed-rate mortgage loans. The value of MSRs is derived from the net cash flows associated with the servicing contracts. The Company receives a servicing fee of generally about 0.25% annually on the remaining outstanding principal balances of the loans. Based on the result of the cash flow analysis, an asset or liability is recorded for mortgage servicing rights. The servicing fees are collected from the monthly payments made by the mortgagors. The Company generally receives other remuneration including rights to various mortgagor-contracted fees such as late charges, and collateral reconveyance charges and the Company is generally entitled to retain the interest earned on funds held pending remittance of mortgagor principal, interest, tax, and insurance payments. Contractual servicing fees and late fees are included in other revenues on the consolidated statements of 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 an initial term of 30 years and MSRs backed by mortgage loans with an 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 the market. After being initially recorded at fair value, MSRs backed by mortgage loans are accounted for using the amortization method. Amortization expense is included in other expenses on the consolidated statements of earnings. MSR amortization is determined by amortizing the MSR balance in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying financial assets.

1) <u>Significant Accounting Policies</u> (Continued)

Interest rate risk, prepayment risk, and default risk are inherent risks in MSR valuation. Interest rate changes largely drive prepayment rates. Refinance activity generally increases as rates decline. A significant decrease in rates beyond expectation could cause a decline in the value of the MSR. On the contrary, if rates increase borrowers are less likely to refinance or prepay their mortgage, which extends the duration of the loan and MSR values are likely to rise. Because of these risks, discount rates and prepayment speeds are used to estimate the fair value.

The Company periodically assesses MSRs for impairment. Impairment occurs when the current fair value of the MSR falls below the 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.

The Company periodically reviews the various loan strata to determine whether the value of the MSRs in each 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.

Additional information related to MSRs is included in Note 7.

**Property and Equipment**

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from three to forty years. Leasehold improvements paid for by the Company as a lessee are amortized over the lesser of the useful life or remaining lease terms. Additional information related to property and equipment is included in Note 8.

**Long-lived Assets**

Long-lived assets to be held and used, including property and equipment and real estate held for investment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset, and long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Additional information related to long-lived assets is included in Notes 2 and 8.

**Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs and Value of Business Acquired**

Commissions and other acquisition costs, net of commission and expense allowances for reinsurance ceded, that vary with and are primarily related to the production of new insurance business that have been incurred are deferred. For traditional long-duration life insurance products, deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC") are amortized on a constant-level basis established on a cohort-grouped contract basis over the expected term of the related contracts, with the amortization basis being units in force using assumptions consistent with those used in computing the liability for future policy benefits. For policyholder account balance insurance products, DAC is amortized using the policy counts for annuities and units in-force for interest sensitive life products. Deferred acquisition costs are written off when policies terminate.

1) <u>Significant Accounting Policies</u> (Continued)

When accounting for DAC, the Company considers internal replacements of insurance and investment contracts. An internal replacement is a modification in product benefits, features, rights, or coverage that occurs by the exchange of a contract for a new contract, or by amendment, endorsement, or rider to contract, or by the election of a feature or coverage within a contract. Modifications that result in a replacement contract that is substantially changed from the replaced contract are accounted for as an extinguishment of the replaced contract. Unamortized DAC and unearned revenue liabilities from the replaced contract are written-off. Modifications that result in a contract that is substantially unchanged from the replaced contract are accounted for as a continuation of the replaced contract.

Value of business acquired ("VOBA") is the present value of estimated future profits of the acquired business and is amortized in the same way as DAC.

Additional information related to DAC and VOBA is included in Note 9.

**Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets**

Previous acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases under which assets acquired, and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair values with the excess purchase price recognized as goodwill. The Company evaluates annually or when changes in circumstances warrant the recoverability of goodwill and if there is a decrease in value, the related impairment is recognized as a charge against income.

Other intangibles are recognized apart from goodwill whenever an acquired intangible asset arises from contractual or other legal rights, or whenever it is capable of being separated or divided from the acquired entity and sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged, either individually or in combination with a related contract, asset, or liability. The Company engages a third-party valuation firm to analyze the value of the intangible assets that result from significant acquisitions. The value of the intangible assets that result from these acquisitions are included in Other Assets and are determined using the income approach, relying on a relief from the royalty method.

Additional information related to goodwill and other intangible assets is included in Note 10.

**Derivative Instruments**

Mortgage Banking Derivatives

Loan Commitments

The Company is exposed to price risk due to the potential impact of changes in interest rates on the values of loan commitments from the time a 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 loan commitments that will be exercised (i.e., the number of loans that will be funded) fluctuates. The probability that a loan will not be funded, or the loan application is denied or withdrawn within the terms of the commitment is driven by several factors, particularly the change, if any, in mortgage rates following the issuance of the loan commitment.

1) <u>Significant Accounting Policies</u> (Continued)

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, broker, or correspondent 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 consider all 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 loan commitments and are updated periodically to reflect the most current data.

The Company estimates the fair value of a loan commitment based on the change in estimated fair value of the underlying mortgage loan, quoted mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") prices, estimates of the fair value of mortgage servicing rights, and an estimate of the probability that the mortgage loan will fund within the terms of the commitment net of estimated commission expense. The change in fair value of the underlying mortgage loan is measured from the date the loan commitment is issued and is shown net of related expenses. Following issuance, the value of a loan commitment can be either positive or negative depending upon the change in value of the underlying mortgage loans. Fallout rates and other factors from the Company's recent historical data are used to estimate the quantity and value of mortgage loans that will fund within the terms of the commitments.

Forward Sale Commitments

The Company utilizes forward commitments to economically hedge the price risk associated with its outstanding mortgage loan commitments. A forward commitment protects the Company from losses on sales of the loans arising from the exercise of the loan commitments. Management expects these types of commitments will experience changes in fair value in contrast to changes in fair value of the loan commitments, thereby reducing earnings volatility related to the recognition in earnings of changes in the values of the commitments.

The net changes in fair value of loan commitments and forward sale commitments are shown in current earnings as a component of mortgage fee income on the consolidated statements of earnings. Mortgage banking derivatives are shown in other assets and other liabilities and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets.

Additional information related to derivative instruments is included in Note 11.

**Allowances for Credit Losses**

The Company records allowances for current expected credit losses from fixed maturity securities available for sale, mortgage loans held for investment, other investments, and receivables in accordance with GAAP. The allowances for credit losses are valuation accounts that are reported as a reduction of the financial asset's cost basis and are measured on a pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The Company estimates allowances for credit losses using relevant available information from both internal and external sources. The Company considers its historical loss experience, analyzes current market conditions and forecasts and uses third-party assistance to arrive at current expected credit losses. Amounts are written off against the allowance for credit losses when determined to be uncollectible. See Notes 2 and 4 regarding the Company's evaluation of allowances for credit losses.

**Future Policy Benefits and Unpaid Claims**

A liability for future policy benefits is accrued as premium revenue is recognized, which is the present value of expected future policy benefits to be paid to or on behalf of policyholders less the present value of expected future net premiums to be collected from policyholders. This liability is calculated using a discount rate assumption that is an upper-medium grade fixed-income instrument yield as provided by Bloomberg's Evaluated Pricing ("BVAL") methodology. This discount rate for a particular cohort is locked-in when that cohort is closed to new contracts and is used for purposes of interest accretion for the future policy benefits liability and is reflected in policyholder benefits and claims on the consolidated statements of earnings. The current rate as of each reporting date is used to calculate an adjusted future policy benefit liability and is recognized through accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"). Other assumptions include best-estimate mortality and lapse rates that are based on the company's historical experience, industry data, and other factors; also estimates of expected non-level costs, such as termination or settlement costs. Routine policy maintenance costs are not included. These assumptions are reviewed at least annually. Any changes to these assumptions will be reflected in policyholder benefits and claims on the consolidated statements of earnings. Cohorts are established based on differences in Company (Acquisition), Direct Business v. Acquired, Market (Final Expense v. Pre-need v. Ordinary), Limited-Payment v. Whole Life v. Term, issue year, and significant reinsurance. A deferred profit liability ("DPL") is also held. The DPL equals accumulated deferrals (prior to and including the valuation date) minus accumulated amortization, where "deferrals" equals the difference between gross and net premium, and "amortization" equals the product of the measure of in force policies (units in force) and an amortization ratio which is updated at the same time as the net premium ratio.

The Company records an unpaid claims liability for claims in the course of settlement equal to the death benefit amount and records a reinsurance recoverable receivable amount, if any, for claims reported. There is also an unpaid claims liability for claims incurred but not reported. This liability is based on the historical experience of the net amount of claims that were reported in reporting periods subsequent to the reporting period when claims were incurred.

Additional information related to future policy benefits and unpaid claims is included in Note 1 for the adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-12 and in Note 12.

**Policyholder Account Balances**

Policyholder account balances 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 more than related policy account balances. Interest credit rates for interest-sensitive insurance products ranged from 3% to 6.5%. Additional information related to policyholder account balances is included in Note 13.

**Unearned Premium Reserve**

Policy initiation fees (front end loads) assessed on universal life–type contracts that are not related to future services are deferred as an unearned revenue liability. The deferred amount is amortized into earnings analogous to the amortization of the deferred acquisition costs of this block of business. Additional information related to the unearned premium reserve is included in Note 9.

**Participating Insurance**

Participating business constituted less than 1% of insurance in force for the years ended 2025 and 2024. The provision for policyholders' dividends included in policyholder obligations is based on dividend scales anticipated by management. The amounts to be paid are determined by the Company's Board of Directors. The expense recognized for policyholder dividends is included in policyholder benefits and claims on the consolidated statements of earnings and is immaterial.

**Insurance Premiums and Other Considerations**

Premiums and other considerations for traditional life insurance products (which include those products with fixed and guaranteed premiums and benefits and consist principally of whole life insurance policies, limited-payment life insurance policies, and certain annuities with life contingencies) are recognized as revenues when due from policyholders. Premiums and other consideration for interest-sensitive insurance policies (which include universal life policies, interest-sensitive life policies, deferred annuities, and annuities without life contingencies) are reflected as increases in liabilities for policyholder account balances and not as revenues. Revenues reported for these products consist of policy charges for the cost of insurance, administration charges, amortization of policy initiation fees and surrender charges assessed against policyholder account balances. Surrender benefits paid relating to these products are reflected as decreases in liabilities for policyholder account balances and not as expenses. The Company receives investment income earned from the funds deposited into account balances, a portion of which is passed through to the policyholders in the form of interest credited. Interest credited to policyholder account balances and benefit claims more than policyholder account balances are reported as expenses, included in policyholder benefits and claims, in the consolidated financial statements.

**Reinsurance**

The Company follows the procedure of reinsuring risks of more than $100,000 to provide for greater diversification of business to allow management to control exposure to potential losses arising from large risks and provide additional capacity for growth. The Company remains liable for amounts ceded in the event the reinsurers are unable to meet their obligations.

The Company entered into coinsurance agreements with unaffiliated insurance companies under which the Company assumed 100% of the risk for certain life insurance policies and certain other policy-related liabilities of the insurance company.

Reinsurance premiums, commissions, expense reimbursements, and reserves related to reinsured business are accounted for on a basis consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. Expense allowances received in connection with reinsurance ceded are accounted for as a reduction of the related policy acquisition costs and are deferred and amortized accordingly. Additional information related to reinsurance is included in Note 14.

**Pre-need Sales and Costs**

<u>Pre-need contract sales of funeral services and caskets</u> - revenue and costs associated with the sales of pre-need funeral services and caskets are deferred until the performance obligations are fulfilled (services are performed or the caskets are delivered).

<u>Sales of cemetery interment rights (cemetery burial property)</u> - revenue and costs associated with the sale of cemetery interment rights are deferred until 10% of the sales price has been collected.

<u>Pre-need contract sales of cemetery merchandise (primarily markers and vaults)</u> - revenue and costs associated with the sale of pre-need cemetery merchandise is deferred until the merchandise is delivered to the Company.

<u>Pre-need contract sales of cemetery services (primarily merchandise delivery, installation fees and burial opening and closing fees)</u> - revenue and costs associated with the sales of pre-need cemetery services are deferred until the services are performed.

<u>Prearranged funeral and pre-need cemetery customer acquisition costs</u> - costs incurred related to obtaining new pre-need contract cemetery and prearranged funeral services, which include only costs that vary with and are primarily related to the acquisition of new pre-need cemetery and prearranged funeral services, are deferred until the merchandise is delivered or services are performed.

Revenues and costs for at-need sales are recorded when a valid contract exists, the services are performed, collection is reasonably assured and there are no significant performance obligations remaining.

The Company, through its cemetery and mortuary operations, provides guaranteed funeral arrangements wherein a prospective customer can receive future goods and services at guaranteed prices. To accomplish this, the Company, through its life insurance operations, sells to the customer an increasing benefit life insurance policy that is assigned to the mortuaries. If, at the time of need, the policyholder/potential mortuary customer utilizes one of the Company's facilities, the guaranteed funeral arrangement contract that has been assigned will provide the funeral goods and services at the contracted price. The increasing life insurance policy will cover the difference between the original contract prices and current prices. Risks may arise if the difference cannot be fully met by the life insurance policy. However, management believes that given current inflation rates and related price increases of goods and services, the risk of exposure is minimal.

Additional information related to pre-need sales and costs is included in Note 4.

**Income Taxes**

Income taxes include taxes currently payable plus deferred taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to the temporary differences in the financial reporting basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities and operating loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Liabilities are established for uncertain tax positions expected to be taken in income tax returns when such positions are judged to meet the "more-likely-than-not" threshold based on the technical merits of the positions. Deferred tax assets and liabilities require various estimates and judgments and may be affected favorably or unfavorably by various internal and external factors. Factors affecting the deferred tax assets and liabilities include, but are not limited to, changes in tax laws, regulations and/or rates, changing interpretations of existing tax laws or regulations, and changes to overall levels of pre-tax earnings. Changes in these estimates, judgments or factors may result in an increase or decrease to the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities with a related increase or decrease in the Company's provision for income taxes. Estimated interest and penalties related to uncertain tax penalties are included as a component of income tax expense. Additional information related to income taxes is included in Note 1 for the adoption of ASU 2023-09 and Note 17.

**Earnings Per Share**

The Company computes earnings per share, which requires a presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per equivalent Class A common share are computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted-average number of Class A common shares outstanding during each year presented, after the effect of the assumed conversion of Class C Common Stock to Class A Common Stock. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year used to compute basic earnings per share plus dilutive potential incremental shares by application of the treasury stock method. Basic and diluted earnings per share amounts have been adjusted retroactively for the effect of annual stock dividends. Additional information related to earnings per share is included in Note 19.

**Stock Based Compensation**

The cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments is recognized in the financial statements and is measured based on the fair value on the grant date of the award. The fair value of stock options is calculated using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model. Stock option compensation expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award and is included in personnel expenses on the consolidated statements of earnings. Additional information related to stock-based compensation is included in Note 22.

**Concentration of Credit Risk**

For a description of the concentration risk regarding available for sale debt securities, mortgage loans held for investment and real estate held for investment, refer to Note 2, and for receivables from reinsurers, refer to Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

**Recent Accounting Pronouncements**

**Accounting Standards Adopted in 2025**

<u>ASU No. 2018-12: "Financial Services – Insurance (Topic 944): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts"</u> — Issued in August 2018, ASU 2018-12 is intended to improve the timeliness of recognizing changes in the liability for future policy benefits on traditional long-duration contracts by requiring that assumptions be updated after contract inception and by modifying the rate used to discount future cash flows. The standard is aimed at improving the accounting for certain market-based options or guarantees associated with deposit or account balance contracts, simplifying amortization of deferred acquisition costs while improving and expanding required disclosures. In November 2020, ASU No. 2020-11: "Financial Services – Insurance (Topic 944): Effective Date and Early Application," was issued. This ASU was issued to provide additional time for the implementation of ASU No. 2018-12 by deferring the effective date by one year. For smaller reporting companies, this update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025. On December 31, 2025, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-12, using the modified retrospective approach, for changes to the liability for future policy benefits and deferred policy acquisition costs. The Company applied the guidance as of a transition date of January 1, 2024, and retrospectively adjusted prior period amounts to reflect the new guidance. The Company's consolidated financial statements are presented under the new guidance for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2024.

After adoption, cash flow assumptions, such as mortality, lapse, and expense, will be reviewed at least annually and, if necessary, they will be updated to reflect actual experience and current expectations in the calculation of the Company's future policy benefits. Historically, cash flow assumptions were locked in at policy issuance and remained in place for the life of the business—even when material variances emerged between assumptions and actual experience—except in the case of a premium deficiency. Under the new guidance, net premiums are capped at 100 percent of gross premiums at the cohort level. Adoption of this standard also requires changes in the future treatment of the Company's Deferred Acquisition Cost ("DAC") asset.

Historically, the interest rate used to calculate the Company's future policy benefits was set at policy issuance and remained in effect for the life of the policy. The Company used an expected investment portfolio rate of return based on a conservative experience assumption. The new guidance seeks to improve reporting on the financial impact associated with interest rate sensitivity. To accomplish this, future policy benefits are calculated using a discount rate based on an upper-medium-grade (A-rated) fixed income instrument.

The initial future policy benefit for each cohort is calculated using the original discount rate and then remeasured using the current discount rate curve. The original rate is used to determine interest accretion on the liability—which is included in net earnings—as well as to calculate the net premiums in both scenarios. The impact of remeasurement, from the original locked-in discount rate to the current rate, is reported as a component of the Company's AOCI. This original discount rate is locked in at the cohort's inception or at the Transition Date and will continue to be used in determining the impact on future net earnings associated with that contract.

DAC is used by insurance companies to defer costs related to acquiring insurance policies. Under the new guidance, amortization methods are simplified, and DAC for all insurance contracts will be subject to constant-level basis amortization over the lifetime of the policy. Historically, traditional life contracts were amortized in proportion to premiums over the expected premium-paying period. Additionally, shadow DAC is no longer reported.

The requirements of the new guidance did not impact capital and surplus or net income under statutory accounting practices, cash flows on the Company's policies, or the underlying economics of the Company's business.

The transition date impacts associated with the adoption of ASU No. 2018-12 were applied as follows:

Future Policy Benefits ("FPB") (See Note 12)

● Contracts in-force as of the transition date were grouped into cohorts; a revised NPR was calculated for each cohort using the existing transition date balance, best estimate cash flow assumptions without a provision for adverse deviation, and the historical discount rates used for the contracts within the cohort prior to the adoption of ASU No. 2018-12 (the "locked-in" discount rate). For any cohorts where the net premiums exceeded gross premiums (NPR exceeded 100%), the FPB was increased by $10,214 for the excess of net premiums over gross premiums, with a corresponding adjustment recorded to opening retained earnings as of the transition date;

● The difference between the FPB calculated at the current upper-medium grade discount rate and the FPB calculated at the locked-in discount rate was recorded as an adjustment to opening accumulated other comprehensive income as of the transition date; and

● Corresponding adjustments were made to ceded reinsurance balances.

Limited-payment long-duration products transition follows a similar approach to traditional non-participating products, except that these product cohorts may have a deferred profit liability ("DPL") which is adjusted at the transition date. If an increase to FPB depleted the DPL, the remaining adjustment was recorded to opening retained earnings as of the transition date.

Deferred Acquisition Costs ("DAC") and Value of Business Acquired ("VOBA") (See Note 9)

The opening balances of these accounts were adjusted for the removal of the related amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income, as these balances are no longer amortized using expected future gross premiums, margins, profits or earned premiums.

<u>ASU No. 2023-09: "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures"</u> — Issued in December 2023, ASU 2023-09 requires that public business entities, on an annual basis: (i) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (ii) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. In addition, the amendments in this update require that all entities disclose on an annual basis the following information about income taxes paid: (i) the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign taxes and (ii) the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid (net of refunds received) is equal to or greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 retrospectively for the annual period beginning January 1, 2025. The adoption of this standard did not affect the Company's financial position or results of operations. Refer to Note 16 for the disclosures regarding income taxes.

**Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted**

<u>ASU No. 2024-03: "Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income- Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses"</u> — Issued in November 2024, ASU 2024-03 requires public business entities to disclose, in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, specified information about certain expenses at each interim and annual reporting period. ASU 2024-03 requires disclosures about specific types of expenses (i.e., (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation and (d) intangible asset amortization) included in the expense captions presented on the face of the statement of earnings as well as disclosures about selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 does not change the requirements for the presentation of expenses on the statement of earnings. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Accordingly, the Company will adopt the standard commencing with its annual reporting period ending December 31, 2027. The Company is in the process of estimating the potential impact of this new standard on the consolidated financial statements.

<u>ASU No. 2025-11: "Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements"</u> — Issued in December 2025, ASU 2025-11 clarifies the form, content, and disclosure requirements for interim financial statements and the application of Topic 270. The update differentiates requirements by entity type: SEC registrants must continue to follow SEC rules for condensed financial statements; non-SEC registrants may present either full or condensed statements, using either the ASU's guidance or SEC-style condensed guidance; and not-for-profit entities follow the non-SEC model with additional presentation considerations specific to NFP reporting. The ASU also compiles a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures for condensed statements from across the Codification, supported by conforming edits, to improve usability (while not replacing underlying guidance). In addition, the ASU reinforces a disclosure principle requiring entities to provide interim disclosures for significant events or transactions that have had a material effect since the most recent year-end, such as changes in accounting principles, key estimates, financing arrangements, long-term contracts, or the reporting entity. The amendments are effective for public business entities for interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The guidance may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is in the process of estimating the potential impact of this new standard on the consolidated financial statements.

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.

There were no investments in fixed maturity or equity securities, aggregated by issuer, of more than 10% of shareholders' equity (before net unrealized gains and losses on equity securities and fixed maturity securities) as of December 31, 2025, other than investments issued or guaranteed by the United States Government.

**Fixed Maturity Securities**

The table below summarizes unrealized losses on fixed maturities securities available for sale that were carried at estimated fair value as of December 31, 2025, and 2024. The fair values of fixed maturity securities that are actively traded are based on quoted market prices. 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 tables set forth unrealized losses by duration with the fair value of the related fixed maturity securities.

Relevant holdings were comprised of 338 securities with fair values aggregating 93.6% of the aggregated amortized cost as of December 31, 2025 compared to 706 securities with fair values aggregating 94.9% of the aggregated amortized cost as of December 31, 2024. A credit loss provision of $342,957 and $106,444 have been recognized for 2025, and 2024, respectively. Credit losses are included in gains (losses) on investments and other assets on the consolidated statements of earnings. Other unrealized losses for which no credit loss was recognized are primarily the result of increases in interest rates.

*Evaluation of Allowance for Credit Losses*

The Company evaluates its fixed maturity securities classified as available for sale on a quarterly basis to identify any potential credit losses. This evaluation includes a review of current ratings by the National Association of Insurance Commissions ("NAIC") and other industry rating agencies. Securities with a NAIC rating of 1 or 2 are considered investment grade and are only reviewed for credit loss if current market data or recent company news could lead to a credit downgrade. Securities with NAIC ratings of 3 to 5 are considered non-investment grade and are evaluated for credit loss. The evaluation involves assessing all facts and circumstances surrounding each security including, but not limited to, historical values, interest payment history, projected earnings, and revenue growth rates as well as a review of the reason for a downgrade in the NAIC rating. Based on the analysis of a security that is rated 3 to 5, a determination is made whether the security will likely make payments in accordance with the terms of the financial instrument. Securities with a rating of 6 are automatically determined to be impaired, and a credit loss is recognized in earnings.

Where the decline in fair value of fixed maturity securities is attributable to changes in market interest rates or to factors such as market volatility, liquidity and spread widening, and the Company anticipates recovery of all contractual or expected cash flows, the Company does not consider these securities to have credit loss because the Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell these securities before a recovery of amortized cost, which may be at maturity.

If the Company intends to sell a fixed maturity security or if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell a security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, a credit loss has occurred and the difference between the amortized cost and the fair value that relates to the expected credit loss is recognized as a loss in earnings, included in gains (losses) on investments and other assets on the consolidated statements of earnings.

If the Company does not intend to sell a fixed maturity security and it is less likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security but the Company also does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security, a credit loss is recognized in earnings for the amount of the expected credit loss with a corresponding allowance for credit losses as a contra-asset account. The credit loss is included in gains (losses) on investments and other assets on the consolidated statements of earnings. The recognized credit loss is limited to the total unrealized loss on the security due to a change in credit.

Amounts due on available for sale fixed maturities that are deemed to be uncollectible are written off and removed from the allowance for credit loss. A write-off may also occur if the Company intends to sell a security or when it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost.

The Company does not calculate a credit loss allowance on accrued interest income, included in accrued investment income on the consolidated balance sheets, as the Company writes off any accrued interest income to net investment income if the accrued but unpaid amount exceeds 90 days.

**Mortgage Loans Held for Investment**

The Company reports mortgage loans held for investment pursuant to the accounting policy discussed in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Mortgage loans held for investment consist of first and second mortgages and are generally classified into three distinct groups: Commercial, Residential, and Residential Construction. These mortgage loans bear interest at rates ranging from 2.0% to 10.5%; maturity dates range from nine months to 30 years and the loans are secured by real estate have amortization periods of 0 to 30 years.

Concentrations of credit risk arise when several 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 the relevant debtors' ability to honor obligations is dependent upon the economic stability of the geographic region in which the debtors do business or are employed. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had 57%, 7%, 7%, 7%, and 6% of its mortgage loans from borrowers located in the states of Utah, Florida, California, Texas, and Arizona, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had 56%, 8%, 9%, and 6% of its mortgage loans from borrowers located in the states of Utah, Florida, Arizona, and Texas, respectively.

 

*Evaluation of Allowance for Credit Losses*

The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the Company's mortgage loans held for investment to present the net amount expected to be collected. The Company reports in net earnings, as a credit loss expense, the amount necessary to adjust the allowance for credit losses for the Company's current estimate of expected credit losses on mortgage loans held for investment. This credit loss expense is included in other expenses on the consolidated statements of earnings.

Once a mortgage loan is past due 90 days, it is the policy of the Company to end the accrual of interest income on the loan and reverse any interest income that had been accrued. Given this policy, the Company does not measure a credit loss allowance on accrued interest receivable. Accrued interest receivable is included in accrued investment income on the consolidated balance sheets. Payments received for mortgage loans on a non-accrual status are recognized when received. The interest income recognized from payments received for mortgage loans on a non-accrual status was immaterial. Accrual of interest resumes if a mortgage loan is brought current. Interest not accrued on these loans totaled approximately $1,042,325 and $244,000 as of December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

2) <u>Investments</u> (Continued)

The Company measures expected credit losses based on the fair value of the collateral when the Company determines that foreclosure is probable. When a mortgage loan becomes delinquent, the Company proceeds to foreclose. Once foreclosed, the property is classified as real estate held for investment or held for sale.

To determine the allowance for credit losses, the Company has segmented its mortgage loans held for investment by loan type. The Company's loan types are commercial, residential, and residential construction. The inherent risks within the portfolio vary depending upon the loan type as follows:

<u>Commercial</u> - Underwritten in accordance with the Company's policies to determine the borrower's ability to repay the obligation as agreed. Commercial loans are made primarily based on the underlying collateral supporting the loan. Accordingly, the repayment of a commercial loan depends primarily on the collateral and its ability to generate income and secondarily on the borrower's (or guarantor's) ability to repay.

Commercial loans are evaluated for credit loss by analyzing common metrics that are predictors for future credit losses such as debt service coverage ratio ("DSCR"), loan to value ("LTV"), local market conditions, borrower quality, and underlying collateral. The fair value of the underlying collateral is based on a third-party appraisal of the property at origination of the loan. The fair value is assessed if the loan becomes 90 days delinquent. The Company uses these metrics to pool similar loans. The allowance for credit losses is based on estimates, historical experience, probability of loss, value of the underlying collateral, and other factors that affect the collectability of the loan. The Company applies a future loss factor to the outstanding balance of each group to arrive at the allowance for credit losses.

<u>Residential</u> — These loans are secured by first and second mortgages on single-family dwellings. The borrower's ability to repay is sensitive to life events and the general economic condition of the region. Where LTV exceeds 80%, the loan is generally guaranteed by private mortgage insurance, the FHA, or VA.

Residential loans are evaluated for credit loss by using relevant available information from both internal and external sources. Among other things, the Company uses its historical delinquency information and considers current and forecasted economic conditions. External sources include a monthly analysis of its residential portfolio by a third party. The third party uses the Company's current loan data and runs it through various models to project cash flows and provide a projected life of loan loss. The models consider loan features such as loan type, LTV, payment status, age, and current property values. Analyzing the information from various sources allows the Company to arrive at an allowance for credit losses.

<u>Residential construction (including land acquisition and development loans)</u> – These loans are underwritten in accordance with the Company's underwriting policies, which include a financial analysis of the builders, borrowers (guarantors), construction cost estimates, and independent appraisal valuations, and factor in estimates of the value of construction projects upon completion. Construction loans generally involve the disbursement of substantial funds over a short period of time with repayment substantially dependent upon the success of the completed project and the ability of the borrower to secure long-term financing.

Additionally, land acquisition and development loans are underwritten in accordance with the Company's underwriting policies, which include independent appraisal valuations as well as the estimated value associated with the land upon completion of development into finished lots. These loans are of a higher risk than other mortgage loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to general economic conditions, availability of long-term or construction financing, and interest rate sensitivity.

The Company has commitments to fund existing construction and land development loans pursuant to the various loan agreements. As of December 31, 2025, the Company's commitments were approximately $201,220,000 for these loans, of which $158,908,000 had been funded. The Company advances funds in accordance with the loan agreements once the work has been completed, and an independent inspection is made. The maximum loan commitment ranges between 50% and 80% of the appraised value. The Company receives fees and interest for these loans and the interest rate is generally fixed at 5.25% to 8.50% per annum. Maturities range between six and eighteen months.

Residential construction mortgage loans are evaluated for credit loss by considering historical activity and current housing market trends to arrive at a per loan basis point allowance that is recognized at loan origination and subsequent draws. The per loan basis point is reviewed at least annually or as loan losses or market trends require.

The following table presents a roll forward of the allowance for credit losses as of the dates indicated:

**Variable Interest Entities ("VIE")**

The Company has a 50% ownership interest in three VIEs: HHH Real Estate LLC ("HHH"), SN Oquirrh LLC ("Oquirrh"), and SN Towns LLC ("Towns"). These entities hold and develop single family lots for residential construction. In accordance with the operating agreements for these entities, net profits or losses are allocated to the members in accordance with their ownership interests. The investments in HHH, Oquirrh and Towns are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The carrying value of the equity investment in HHH was $10,530,515 and nil at December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively, which is included in other investments and policy loans on the consolidated balance sheets. The carrying value of the equity investment in Oquirrh was $887,532 and $1,500,000 at December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively, which is included in other investments and policy loans on the consolidated balance sheets. The carrying value of the equity investment in Towns was $2,656,616 and $4,063,537 at December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. $1,467,058 and $1,939,269 of which at December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively, is included in restricted assets and $1,189,558 and $2,124,268 of which at December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively, is included in cemetery perpetual care trust investments on the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company has determined that HHH, Oquirrh and Towns are VIEs for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary for the following reasons: (1) the at-risk equity holders, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, (2) the General Manager directs the activities and legal operations that most significantly affect the entity's economic performance and (3) the Company does not have majority voting rights and no power to unilaterally direct the activities of the entity, and therefore, is not the primary beneficiary. The Company's exposure to loss because of its involvement with the equity method investees is limited to the carrying value of the Company's investments.

**Loan Loss Reserve**

Repurchase demands ("demand(s)") from third party investors for mortgage loans previously held for sale and sold are reviewed, and relevant data is captured so that an estimated future loss can be calculated. The key factors that are used in the estimated future 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 demand. In many instances, the Company can resolve the issues relating to the demand by the third-party investor without having to make any payments to the investor.

The loan loss reserve, which is included in other liabilities and accrued expenses, is summarized as follows:

**Contracts with Customers**

The Company reports revenues from contracts with customers pursuant to ASC No. 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

Information about Performance Obligations and Contract Balances

The Company's cemetery and mortuary segment sells a variety of goods and services to customers in both at-need and pre-need situations. Due to the timing of the fulfillment of the obligation, revenue is deferred until that obligation is fulfilled. The total contract liability for future obligations is included in deferred pre-need cemetery and mortuary contract revenues on the consolidated balance sheets and, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the balances were $22,991,603 and $20,168,405, respectively.

The Company's two types of future obligations are as follows:

*<u>Pre-need Merchandise and Service Revenue</u>*: All pre-need merchandise and service revenue are deferred, and the funds are placed in trust until the need arises; the merchandise is received, or the service is performed. The trust is then relieved, and the revenue and commissions are recognized. Pre-need contracts are required to be paid in full prior to a customer using a good or service from a pre-need contract. Goods and services from pre-need contracts can be transferred when paid in full from one owner to another. In such cases, the Company will act as an agent in transferring the requested goods and services. The transfer of goods and services does not fulfill the contract and revenue remains deferred. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the balances were $22,177,345 and $19,511,868, respectively.

*<u>At-need Specialty Merchandise Revenue</u>*: At-need specialty merchandise revenue consists of customizable merchandise ordered from manufacturers such as markers and bases. When specialty merchandise is ordered, it can take time to manufacture and deliver the product. Revenue is deferred until the at-need merchandise is received. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the balances were $814,258 and $656,537, respectively. Deferred revenue for at-need specialty revenue is not placed in trust.

Complete payment does not constitute fulfillment of the contract. Goods or services are deferred until such a time the service is performed, or merchandise is received.

14) Reinsurance

The Company followed the procedure of reinsuring risks of more than a specified limit, which ranged from $25,000 to $100,000 on newly issued policies. Currently, the Company does not reinsure risks on newly issued policies. The Company has also assumed various reinsurance agreements through acquisition of various life companies and has assets held in trust related to certain agreements. The Company is ultimately liable for these reinsured amounts in the event such reinsurers are unable to pay their portion of the claims. The Company evaluates the financial condition of reinsurers and monitors the concentration of credit risk. The Company had a significant concentration of credit risk with a single reinsurer of 94.6% and 94.4% of ceded life insurance in force as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This represented approximately 7.6% and 7.8% of the Company's total life insurance in force as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

15) <u>Bank and Other Loans Payable</u> (Continued)

Debt Covenants for Mortgage Warehouse Lines of Credit

The Company, through its subsidiary SecurityNational Mortgage, has three lines of credit for the purpose of funding mortgage loans-one through U.S. Bank, a second through Western Alliance Bank and a third through JPMorgan Chase Bank.

The U.S. Bank warehouse line of credit agreement allows SecurityNational Mortgage to borrow up to $15,000,000. The relevant agreement contemplates interest at 2.10% plus the greater of (i) 0%, and (ii) the one-month forward-looking term rate based on SOFR on drawn amounts and matures on July 17, 2026. The Company is required to comply with covenants for adjusted tangible net worth, unrestricted cash balance, and a minimum net income of $1 for the quarter.

The Western Alliance Bank warehouse line of credit agreement allows SecurityNational Mortgage to borrow up to $25,000,000. The relevant agreement contemplates interest at the 1-Month SOFR rate plus 2.0% on drawn amounts and matures on August 15, 2026. The Company is required to comply with covenants for adjusted tangible net worth, unrestricted cash balance, and a minimum pre-tax income of $1 for the year.

The JPMorgan Chase Bank warehouse line of credit agreement allows SecurityNational Mortgage to borrow up to $35,000,000. The relevant agreement contemplates interest at the 1-Month SOFR rate plus 1.95% on drawn amounts and matures on August 15, 2026. The Company is required to comply with covenants for adjusted tangible net worth, unrestricted cash balance, and a minimum pre-tax income of $1 for the year.

The agreements for US Bank and JP Morgan Chase Bank warehouse lines of credit include a cross-default provision where certain events of default under other of SecurityNational Mortgage's obligations constitute events of default under the warehouse lines of credit. As of December 31, 2025, SecurityNational Mortgage was not in compliance with the net income covenant of the US Bank, Western Alliance Bank and JP Morgan Chase Bank warehouse lines of credit. SecurityNational Mortgage has since received waivers from each of these lenders with respect to this covenant. In the unlikely event the Company is required to repay the outstanding advances of approximately $4,173,449 on the warehouse lines of credit, the Company has sufficient cash to do so. The Company has also performed an analysis of its funding capacities of both internal and external sources and has determined that there are sufficient funds to continue its current business model. The Company continues to negotiate other warehouse lines of credit with other lenders.

Debt Covenants for Revolving Lines of Credit and Bank Loans

The Company's revolving line of credit agreements contain debt covenants requiring the Company to maintain minimum operating cash flow ratios and minimum net worth requirements for each of its business segments. The Company is also subject to debt covenants under one of its real estate loans which require maintenance of a minimum consolidated operating cash flow ratio, minimum liquidity amounts, and minimum consolidated net worth value. In addition to these financial debt covenants, the Company is required to provide segment specific financial statements and building specific financial statements under the agreements for each of its bank loans. As of December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all these debt covenants.

16) Leases

A lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment (an identified asset) for a period in exchange for consideration. The Company determines if a contract is a lease at the inception of the contract. At the commencement date of a lease, the Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments over the lease term, discounted using the discount rate for the lease. The Company uses the rate implicit in the lease, if available, otherwise the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate. Also, at the commencement date of a lease, the Company measures the cost of the related right-of-use asset which consists of the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date, minus any lease incentives received and any initial direct costs incurred by the Company.

**Information about the Nature of Leases and Subleases**

The Company leases office space and equipment from third parties under various non-cancelable agreements. The Company has operating leases for office space for its segments in areas where it conducts business. The Company subleases some of this office space. The Company also has finance leases for certain equipment, such as copy machines and postage machines. The Company does not have any lease agreements with variable lease payments. The Company has not included any options to extend or terminate leases in the recognition of the right-of-use assets or lease liabilities because of the uncertainty that they will be exercised. No residual value guarantees have been provided to the Company. The Company does not have any restrictions or covenants imposed by leases.

**Leases that have not Commenced**

The Company does not have any leases that have not commenced that create significant rights or obligations for the Company.

**Related Party Lease Transactions**

The Company does not have any related party lease transactions that require disclosure as of December 31, 2025.

**Short-term Leases**

The Company made an accounting policy election not to apply the recognition requirements of ASC 842 to short-term leases, which are leases that, at the commencement date, have a lease term of 12 months or less and do not include an option to purchase the underlying assets that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise.

**Significant Judgments and Assumptions**

The Company does not use any significant judgments or assumptions regarding the determination of whether a contract contains a lease; the allocation of the consideration in a contract between lease and non-lease components; or the determination of the discount rates for the leases. The following table presents the Company's total lease cost recognized in earnings, amounts capitalized as right-of-use assets and cash flows from lease transactions.

(1) State taxes in Texas and Utah made up the majority (greater
than 50%) of the tax effect in this category.

The Company's overall effective tax rate for 2025 and 2024 was 22.4% and 22.1% respectively. The Company's effective tax rates differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% partially due to its provision for state income taxes. The increase in the effective tax rate when compared to the prior year was partially due to an increase in non-deductible items.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had no significant unrecognized tax benefits. As of December 31, 2025, the Company does not expect any material changes to the estimated amount of unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months.

20) Business Segment Information

**Description of Products and Services by Segment**

The Company has identified three operating and reportable business segments: life insurance, cemetery and mortuary, and mortgage. The Company's life insurance segment revenue consists of life insurance premiums; fees earned on insurance assignment funding and net investment income derived from investing policyholder and surplus funds. Its expenses include operating expenses to collect insurance premiums and insurance policy receivables, and administer claims, and commissions payable related to the sale of insurance products sold by the Company's independent agency force. The Company's cemetery and mortuary segment revenue consists of fees from the sale of at-need cemetery and mortuary merchandise, services at its mortuaries and cemeteries, pre-need sales of cemetery spaces and the net investment income from investing surplus cash. Its expenses include operating expenses to maintain mortuary and cemetery operations and commissions related to the sale of insurance products sold by the Company's agents. The Company's mortgage segment revenue consists of residential mortgage origination fee income and mortgage interest income. Its expenses include normal operating expenses related to the origination and sale of residential mortgage loans, loan servicing, and warehouse interest and fee expenses.

**Services and Cost Sharing Policies**

The accounting policies of the Company's operating and reportable segments are the same as those described in the Significant Accounting Principles. Intersegment revenues are recorded at cost plus an agreed upon intercompany profit and are eliminated upon consolidation. In addition to revenues, the reportable segments share in business services and costs including personnel expenses, rent, information technology, software, interest expense, and other similar operating costs. These shared services and costs are allocated between the segments using prevailing market rates and other agreed upon allocation methods.

**Factors Management Used to Identify the Company's Operating and Reportable Segments**

The Company's operating and 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.

**Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM")**

The Company's CODM is the Chief Executive Officer. The following table summarizes significant segment expenses. The significant expenses are based on the information that the CODM is regularly provided to assess segment performance. The CODM reviews the regularly provided information for each segment monthly and gives added emphasis on month-over-month and year-over-year comparative results. The CODM considers these comparative results when making decisions about the allocation of the Company's resources to each segment. The measure of segment profit or loss for the Company's three operating and reportable business segments is net earnings.

21) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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 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 presented in its disclosures related to significant financial instruments:

The items shown under Level 1 and Level 2 are valued as follows:

 

*<u>Fixed Maturity Securities Available for Sale</u>:* 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 (considered Level 3 financial assets), are estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using a current market value applicable to the coupon rate, credit, and maturity of the investments.

*<u>Equity Securities</u>:* The fair values for equity securities are based on quoted market prices.

 

*<u>Restricted Assets</u>:* A portion of these assets include equity securities and fixed maturity securities available for sale that have quoted market prices that are used to determine fair value. Also included are cash and cash equivalents and participations in mortgage loans. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for these financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

*<u>Cemetery Perpetual Care Trust Investments</u>:* A portion of these assets include equity securities and fixed maturity securities available for sale that have quoted market prices that are used to determine fair value. Also included are cash and cash equivalents. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for these financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature

Additionally, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

21) <u>Fair Value of Financial Instruments</u> (Continued)

The items shown under Level 3 are valued as follows:

*<u>Loans Held for Sale</u>:* The Company elected the fair value option for loans held for sale. The fair value is based on quoted market prices (when available). When a quoted market price is not readily available, the Company uses the market price from its last sale of similar assets. Fair value is often difficult to determine and may contain significant unobservable inputs.

*<u>Loan Commitments and Forward Sale Commitments</u>*: The Company's mortgage segment enters into loan commitments with potential borrowers and forward sale commitments to sell loans to third-party investors. The Company also uses a hedging strategy for these transactions. A loan commitment binds the Company to lend funds to a qualified borrower at a specified interest rate and within a specified period, generally up to 30 days after issuance of the loan commitment. Loan commitments are defined to be derivatives under GAAP and are recognized at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets with changes in their fair values recorded in current earnings.

The Company estimates the fair value of a loan commitment based on the change in estimated fair value of the underlying mortgage loan, quoted MBS prices, estimates of the fair value of mortgage servicing rights, and an estimate of 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 loan commitment is issued. 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 and other factors from the Company's recent historical data are used to estimate the quantity and value of mortgage loans that will fund within the terms of the commitments.

*<u>Impaired Mortgage Loans Held for Investment</u>:* The Company believes that the fair value of these nonperforming loans will approximate the unpaid principal balance expected to be recovered based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. For residential and commercial properties, the collateral value is estimated by obtaining an independent appraisal. The appraisal typically considers area comparable properties and property condition as well as potential rental income that could be generated (particularly for commercial properties). For residential construction loans, the collateral is typically incomplete, so fair value is estimated as the replacement cost using data from a provider of building cost information to the real estate construction.

*<u>Impaired Real Estate Held for Investment</u>*: Fair value is generally determined by obtaining an independent appraisal, which typically considers area comparable properties and property conditions. The Company believes that in an orderly market, fair value approximates the replacement cost of a home and will list for sale any foreclosed properties. In a disorderly market, the Company believes the highest and best use of the properties is as income producing assets and will hold the properties as rental properties, matching the income from the investment in rental properties with the funds required for estimated future policy benefits. Accordingly, in addition to an appraisal, the determination of the fair value will generally be weighed more heavily toward the rental analysis.

It should be noted that for replacement cost, when determining the fair value of real estate held for investment, the Company uses a provider of building cost information to the real estate construction industry. For the investment analysis, the Company uses market data based upon its real estate operation experience and projected the present value of net rental income over seven years. The Company also considers comparable properties int the area and property conditions when determining fair value.

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.

The Company did not have any financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of December 31, 2025, or 2024, respectively.

**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.

The Company 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 as of December 31, 2025, and 2024.

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 December 31, 2025:

The methods, assumptions and significant valuation techniques and inputs used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are summarized as follows:

*<u>Mortgage Loans Held for Investment</u>*: The estimated fair value of the Company's mortgage loans held for investment 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 is determined by estimating expected future cash flows of payments and discounting them using current interest rates for single family mortgages and considering pricing of similar loans that were sold recently.

Residential Construction — These loans primarily have short term maturities. Accordingly, the estimated fair value is determined to be the carrying value.

Commercial — The estimated fair value is determined by estimating expected future cash flows of payments and discounting them using current interest rates for commercial mortgages.

*<u>Policy Loans</u>*: These loans are fully collateralized by the cash surrender value of the underlying insurance policy. Accordingly, the carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets approximate their fair values.

*<u>Insurance Assignments, Net</u>*: These investments primarily have short term maturities. Accordingly, the carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets approximate their fair values.

*<u>Bank and Other Loans Payable</u>*: The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet for warehouse lines of credit approximate their fair values due to their relatively short-term maturities and variable interest rates. The estimated fair value for bank loans collateralized by real estate is determined by estimating future cash flows of payments and discounting them using current market rates.

*<u>Policyholder Account Balances</u>*: Policyholder account balances 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 more than related policy account balances. Interest credit rates for interest-sensitive insurance products ranged from 1.5% to 6.5%. The fair values for these investment-type insurance policies are estimated based on the present value of liability cash flows. The fair values for the Company's insurance policies other than investment-type policies are not required to be disclosed. However, the fair values of liabilities under all insurance policies 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 policies.

22) Stock Compensation Plans and Retirement Plans

**Stock Compensation Plans**

The Company has three active equity incentive plans (the "2013 Plan", the "2014 Director Plan" and the "2022 Plan" or "the Plans").

Stock Options

Stock based compensation expense for stock options issued of $1,281,569 and $794,654 has been recognized under these Plans for 2025 and 2024, respectively, and is included in personnel expenses on the consolidated statements of earnings. As of December 31, 2025, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to the stock options issued was $1,681,944, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining vesting period.

The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model. The Company estimates the expected life of the options using the simplified method. Future volatility is estimated based upon the weighted historical volatility of the Company's Class A Common Stock over a period equal to the expected life of the options. The risk-free interest rate for the expected life of the options is based upon the Federal Reserve Board's daily interest rates in effect at the time of the grant.

The following table summarizes the assumptions used in estimating the fair value of each stock option granted along with the weighted-average fair value of the stock options granted.

In June 2024, the Board members approved a motion to extend the Chief Executive Officer's employment agreement, dated December 4, 2012, for an additional six-year term ending December 31, 2030. In the event of disability, the Chief Executive Officer's salary would be continued for up to five years at 75% of its current level of compensation. In the event of a sale or merger of the Company and the Chief Executive Officer is not retained in his current position, the Company would be obligated to continue paying the Chief Executive Officer's current compensation and benefits for seven years following the merger or sale. The agreement further provides that the Chief Executive Officer is entitled to receive annual retirement benefits beginning (i) one month from the date of his retirement (to commence no sooner than age 65), (ii) five years following complete disability, or (iii) upon termination of his employment without cause. These retirement benefits are to be paid for a period of twenty years in annual installments in the amount equal to 75% of his then current level of compensation. If the Chief Executive Officer dies prior to receiving all retirement benefits thereunder, the remaining benefits are to be paid to his heirs. The Company adjusted the accrual by $1,479,348 and $340,557 during 2025 and 2024, respectively, to cover the present value of anticipated retirement benefits under the employment agreement. The liability accrued was $8,695,154 and $7,215,806 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Company also has an employment agreement with its former Vice President of Mortgage Operations and President of SecurityNational Mortgage, who retired from the Company on December 31, 2015. Under the terms of the employment agreement, this individual is entitled to receive retirement benefits from the Company for a period of ten years in an amount equal to 50% of his rate of compensation at the time of his retirement, which was $267,685 for the year ended December 31, 2015. If this individual dies prior to receiving all his retirement benefits under his employment agreement, the remaining benefits will be made to his heirs. The company has paid monthly installments that equal an annual payment of $133,843 to this individual each year since 2016. The liability accrued was nil and $133,843 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively and is included in other liabilities and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets.

23) Statutory Financial Information and Dividend Limitations

The Company's insurance subsidiaries are also required to prepare statutory-basis financial statements in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the insurance department of the applicable state of domicile. The prescribed statutory accounting practices include the Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual of the NAIC, a variety of publications of the NAIC, as well as state laws, regulations, and general administrative rules. Statutory accounting practices differ from GAAP primarily since they require expensing policy acquisition and certain sales inducement costs as incurred, establishing life insurance reserves based on different actuarial assumptions, applying different valuing methods for certain investments and accounting for deferred taxes on a different basis.

The statutory net income and capital and surplus of the Company's insurance subsidiaries, determined in accordance with statutory accounting practices prescribed by insurance regulatory authorities are as follows:

State Insurance Departments impose minimum risk-based capital ("RBC") requirements that were developed by the NAIC on insurance enterprises. The formulas for determining the RBC specify various factors that are applied to financial balances or various levels of activity based on the perceived degree of risk. Regulatory compliance is determined by a ratio (the Ratio) of the enterprise's regulatory total adjusted capital, as defined by the NAIC, to its authorized control level, as defined by the NAIC. Enterprises below specific trigger points or ratios are classified within certain levels, each of which requires specified corrective action. The life insurance subsidiaries each have a ratio that is greater than the first level of regulatory action as of December 31, 2025. The Company does not have any guarantees to maintain the capital and surplus of any affiliates except for the Company's agreement to provide additional capital to Security National Life Insurance Company in the event risk-based capital drops below 350% of the authorized control level.

Generally, the net assets of the life insurance subsidiaries available for transfer to the Company are limited to the amounts of the life insurance subsidiaries net assets, as determined in accordance with statutory accounting practices, that exceed minimum statutory capital requirements. Additional requirements must be met depending on the state, and payments of such amounts as dividends are subject to approval by regulatory authorities.

23) <u>Statutory Financial Information and Dividend Limitations</u> (Continued)

Under the Utah Insurance Code, Security National Life Insurance Company is permitted to pay stockholder dividends, or otherwise make distributions, to the Company subject to certain limitations. Security National Life Insurance Company must ensure that its surplus held for policyholders is reasonable in relation to its outstanding liabilities and adequate to its financial needs after payment of any such dividend or distribution. Furthermore, where any dividend or distribution, together with all other dividends and distributions made within the preceding 12 months, exceeds the lesser of (i) 10% of its surplus held for policyholders as of the next preceding December 31; or (ii) its net gain from operations, not including realized capital gains, for the 12-month period ending the next preceding December 31, such dividend or distribution constitutes "extraordinary" under Utah law and Security National Life Insurance Company would be required to file notice of its intention to declare such a dividend or make such a distribution with the Utah Commissioner and the Utah Commissioner must either approve the distribution or dividend or not disapprove the dividend or distribution within 30 days' of the notice filing. Based on Security National Life Insurance Company's surplus held for policyholders and net gain from operations as of December 31, 2025, the maximum aggregate amount of dividends and distributions that it could pay or make in 2025 and which would not constitute an "extraordinary" dividend or distribution under Utah law and would therefore not require notice and approval or lack of disproval from the Utah Commissioner, would be approximately $8,500,000.

Under the Louisiana Insurance Code, First Guaranty Insurance Company and Kilpatrick Life Insurance Company are permitted to pay stockholder dividends, or otherwise make distributions, to the Company subject to certain limitations. First Guaranty Insurance Company and Kilpatrick Life Insurance Company must ensure that its surplus held for policyholders is reasonable in relation to its outstanding liabilities and adequate to its financial needs after payment of any such dividend or distribution. Furthermore, where any dividend or distribution, together with all other dividends and distributions made within the preceding 12 months, exceeds the lesser of (i) 10% of its surplus held for policyholders as of the next preceding December 31; or (ii) its net gain from operations, not including realized capital gains, for the 12-month period ending the next preceding December 31, such dividend or distribution constitutes "extraordinary" under Louisiana law and First Guaranty Insurance Company and Kilpatrick Life Insurance Company would be required to file notice of its intention to declare such a dividend or make such a distribution with the Louisiana Commissioner and the Louisiana Commissioner must either approve the distribution or dividend or not disapprove the dividend or distribution within 30 days' of the notice filing. Based on First Guaranty Insurance Company's and Kilpatrick Life Insurance Company's surplus held for policyholders and net gain from operations as of December 31, 2025, the maximum aggregate amount of dividends and distributions that it could pay or make in 2025 and which would not constitute an "extraordinary" dividend or distribution under Louisiana law and would therefore not require notice and approval or lack of disproval from the Louisiana Commissioner, would be approximately $814,000 for First Guaranty Insurance Company and $2,062,000 for Kilpatrick Life Insurance Company.

24) Commitments and Contingencies

**Mortgage Loan Loss Settlements**

Future loan losses can be extremely difficult to estimate. However, the Company believes that the Company's reserve methodology and its current practice of property preservation allow it to estimate potential losses on loans sold. See Note 3 for additional information about the Company's loan loss reserve.

**Non-Cancelable Leases**

The Company leases office space and equipment under various non-cancelable agreements. See Note 15 regarding leases.

**Other Contingencies and Commitments**

See Note 2 regarding the Company's commitments to fund existing construction and land development mortgage loans held for investment.

The Company belongs to a captive insurance group ("the captive group") for certain casualty insurance, worker compensation and general liability programs. The captive group maintains insurance reserves 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 group considers several 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 from the Company and its subsidiaries. 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.

The Company is a defendant in various legal actions arising from the normal conduct of business. The Company believes that none of the actions, if adversely determined, 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.

**Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure**

None

**Item 9A. Controls and Procedures**

*Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures*

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. The Company has designed these controls and procedures to ensure that information the Company is required to disclose in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to Company management, including the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2025, because of the material weakness in the Company's internal control over financial reporting as described below.

*Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting*

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process that is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP, and includes those policies and procedures that:

● Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets of the Company,

● Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the Company's Board of Directors, and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

Management performed an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 based on the criteria in the *Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The objective of this assessment was to determine whether the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025. Based on that assessment management believes that as of December 31, 2025, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective.

The Company identified a material weakness related to information technology general controls ("ITGCs") because the Company did not design and maintain effective ITGCs for information systems that are relevant to the preparation of the financial statements. Specifically, deficiencies were identified related to user access controls and program change management controls for financial systems. These deficiencies resulted in related control deficiencies with respect to information generated from the impacted systems and used in the performance of controls relevant to the preparation of the financial statements. The material weakness related to the ITGCs did not result in adjustments to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The Company's registered public accounting firm has issued its report on its audit of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, which is included herein and set forth below.

*Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting*

The Company is taking actions to remediate the material weakness relating to its internal control over financial reporting. Other than the changes to the Company's internal control over financial reporting described in "Remediation Plan and Status" below, there were no changes to the Company's internal control over financial reporting as defined by Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act during the quarter ended December 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

*Remediation Plan and Status*

The Company is committed to remediating its material weaknesses as promptly as possible. Management is in the process of implementing its remediation plan. Management will test the ongoing operating effectiveness of the new and existing controls in future periods. The material weaknesses cannot be considered completely remediated until the applicable controls have operated for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. Management cannot assure you that the measures taken to date, and are continuing to implement, will be sufficient to remediate the material weakness identified or avoid potential future material weaknesses.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Security National Financial Corporation

**Opinions on Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Security National Financial Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness identified below on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in *Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, of the Company and our report dated March 16, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and included an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company's adoption of a new accounting standard.

**Basis for Opinion**

The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

**Material Weakness**

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weakness has been identified and included in management's assessment:

● The
 Company did not design and maintain effective information technology general controls ("ITGCs") for information systems
 that are relevant to the preparation of the financial statements. Specifically, deficiencies were identified related to user access
 controls and program change management controls for financial systems. These deficiencies resulted in related control deficiencies
 with respect to information generated from the impacted systems and used in the performance of controls relevant to the preparation
 of the financial statements.

This material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, of the Company, and this report does not affect our report on such financial statements.

**Item 9B. Other Information**

A portion of the Company's directors' and officers' compensation is in the form of equity awards and, from time to time, they may engage in open-market transactions with respect to their Company securities for diversification or other personal reasons. All such transactions in Company securities by directors and officers must comply with the Company's Insider Trading Policy, which requires that transactions be in accordance with applicable U.S. federal securities laws that prohibit trading while in possession of material nonpublic information. Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act provides an affirmative defense that enables directors and officers to prearrange transactions in the Company's securities in a manner that avoids concerns about initiating transactions while in possession of material nonpublic information. During the three months ended December 31, 2025, no directors or officers adopted or terminated a "Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" or a "non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement", as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.

## Exhibit 4.4

**Exhibit 4.4**

**DESCRIPTION OF THE REGISTRANT'S SECURITIES REGISTERED PURSUANT TO**

**SECTION 12 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934**

Security National Financial Corporation (the "Company," "we," "us," or "our") has one class of securities, our Class A common stock, registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The general terms and provisions of our capital stock are summarized below. The below is a general summary, does not purport to be complete, and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, reference to our Articles of Amendment and Restatement to the Articles of Incorporation, referred to herein as our "Articles," and our Amended Bylaws, referred to herein as our "Bylaws," each of which have been filed as an exhibit to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, of which this exhibit is a part, and the applicable provisions of the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act (the "Act"). We encourage you to review complete copies of our Articles and Bylaws and the applicable provisions of the Act for additional information.

**Authorized Capital Stock**

We are authorized to issue 56,000,000 shares of capital stock, divided into the following classes:

● 40,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, $2.00 par value per share;

● 5,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, $1.00 par value per share;

● 6,000,000 shares of Class C common stock, $2.00 par value per share; and

● 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $1.00 par value per share.

**Description of Common Stock**

<u>Voting Rights.</u>

*Class A Common Stock*. For the election of directors and for all other proper corporate matters, each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote. The holders of Class A common stock, voting separately as a class, are entitled to elect one-third of the directors of the Company at shareholder meetings called for the election of directors (or, if one-third is not a whole number, the next higher whole number of directors).

*Class C Common Stock*. In the election of directors not reserved for Class A shareholders and for all other proper corporate matters, each share of Class C common stock is entitled to ten votes.

*Class B Common Stock*. Class B common stock is non-voting stock save for certain matters affecting the rights, preferences and terms of Class B stock as outlined in the Act and the Articles.

Cumulative voting is not permitted in elections of directors or for any other purpose.

<u>Dividend Rights.</u>

All outstanding shares of common stock share equally in dividends declared by the Board of Directors, subject to the following limitations:

 

*Cash Dividends*: Class C common shares are limited to receiving 90% of the per share cash dividends paid on the Class A and/or Class B common shares.

*Liquidating Dividends and Distributions*: Class C common shares are limited to receiving 90% of the per share liquidating distributions paid on the Class A and/or Class B common shares.

*All Other Distributions*: With respect to all other distributions on common stock (excluding cash dividends and liquidating dividends and distributions), Class C common shares are limited to receiving per share distributions of no more than the per share distributions paid on the Class A and/or Class B common shares.

*Stock Dividends*. The classes of common stock share equally in stock dividends declared and payable in common stock, with each class of shareholders being entitled to receive equivalent distributions to those declared on the other classes of common stock.

Dividends are payable at the discretion of the Board of Directors at such times and in such amounts as it deems advisable, subject to the provisions of applicable law.

<u>Transfer Restrictions on Class C Common Stock</u>

Shares of Class C common stock may only be transferred to a Permitted Transferee of the transferring holder. Permitted Transferees include, among others, spouses, trusts, charitable organizations and certain entities. Any purported transfer of Class C common stock to a person who is not a Permitted Transferee will automatically result in the conversion of the transferred shares into Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis.

Notwithstanding the foregoing transfer restrictions, a Class C holder may pledge shares of Class C common stock as collateral security for indebtedness, provided that such shares shall not be transferred to or registered in the name of the pledgee. In the event of foreclosure or other similar action by the pledgee, the pledged shares may only be transferred to a Permitted Transferee of the pledgor or converted into shares of Class A common stock, at the pledgee's election.

<u>Conversion Rights</u>

*Class C to Class A*.** Each share of Class C common stock may at any time be converted into one fully paid and non-assessable share of Class A common stock, except that following a shareholder vote approving a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the conversion ratio shall be 1.111 shares of Class C common stock for one share of Class A common stock (provided that upon abandonment of a plan of liquidation or dissolution, the conversion ratio reverts to one-for-one).

<u>Other Rights</u>

The holders of our common stock do not have preemptive or subscription rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable thereto.

**Listing**

Our Class A common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol "SNFCA."

**Description of Preferred Stock**

We are authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $1.00 par value per share, in one or more series, from time to time, with such rights and preferences as determined by our Board of Directors with respect to such series.

**Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of Utah Law and Our Charter Documents**

<u>Director Liability</u>*.*

Our Articles limit the personal liability of our directors to the Company and our shareholders to the fullest extent permitted by the Act or any other applicable law. The inclusion of this provision in our Articles may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and may discourage or deter shareholders or management from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their duty of care.

<u>Indemnification</u>

The Company is required to indemnify all officers and directors against monetary damages for any action taken or any failure to take action to the fullest extent permitted by the Act.

<u>Supermajority Voting Requirements for Certain Business Combinations</u>

*Requirements under our Articles*

Our Articles require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the "Voting Stock"), voting together as a single class, to approve certain Business Combinations involving an Interested Stockholder. Business Combinations subject to this requirement include:

● Any merger or consolidation of the Company or any subsidiary with (i) any Interested Stockholder or (ii) any other corporation that is, or after such merger or consolidation would be, an affiliate of an Interested Stockholder;

● Any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer, or other disposition of all or a "Substantial Part" (more than 25% of the fair market value of the total assets of the Company) of the Company's property and assets to or with any Interested Stockholder or any affiliate of an Interested Stockholder;

● The adoption of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company proposed by or on behalf of an Interested Stockholder or any affiliate of an Interested Stockholder; and

● Any reclassification of securities (including any reverse stock split), recapitalization, or other transaction that has the effect, directly or indirectly, of increasing the proportionate share of the outstanding shares of any class of equity or convertible securities of the Company or any subsidiary owned by any Interested Stockholder or any affiliate of an Interested Stockholder.

An "Interested Stockholder" for purposes of the Articles is generally defined as any person (other than the Company or any subsidiary) who: (i) is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 5% of the outstanding Voting Stock or more than 5% of the voting power of the outstanding Voting Stock; (ii) is an affiliate of the Company and at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question was the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding Voting Stock; or (iii) is an assignee of or has otherwise succeeded to any shares of Voting Stock that were at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question beneficially owned by any Interested Stockholder, if such assignment or succession occurred in a transaction not involving a public offering.

The supermajority voting requirement of the Articles does not apply to a Business Combination that has been approved by a majority of the "Nonpartisan Directors" (i.e., members of the Board of Directors who are unaffiliated with the Interested Stockholder and were members of the Board prior to the time the Interested Stockholder became an Interested Stockholder, and their qualifying successors).

Any amendment or repeal of, or adoption of any provision inconsistent with, the Business Combinations article of the Articles requires the affirmative vote of the holders of 75% or more of the voting power of the then-outstanding Voting Stock, voting together as a single class, unless such amendment has been approved by a majority of the Nonpartisan Directors.

*Requirements under the Act*

 

Furthermore, under Sections 16-10a-1801 to 16-10a-1804 of the Utah Code and certain amendments to Section 16-10a-840 of the Utah Code, we are prohibited from entering into a business combination, such as a merger, consolidation, recapitalization, asset sale, or disposition of stock, with any person that meets the definition of "interested shareholder" (discussed further below), including any entity that is, or after the business combination would be, an affiliate or associate of an interested shareholder, for a period of five years after the date such person became an interested shareholder, unless one of the of the following conditions is met:

● the business combination, or the acquisition of stock that resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder, was approved by our Board of Directors prior to the person becoming an interested shareholder;

● the business combination is approved by a majority of our non-interested shareholders at a meeting called no earlier than five years after the date the person first became an interested shareholder; or

● the cash and other consideration to be delivered to the holder of each share of our common stock meets certain minimum value criteria.

For purposes of the business combination provisions, an "interested shareholder" includes any person who owns (or, in the case of affiliates and associates, did own within the last five years) 20% or more of that corporation's voting stock. These provisions may have an anti-takeover effect with respect to such business combinations.

*Requirements under the Utah Control Shares Acquisitions Act*

We are subject to the Control Shares Acquisitions Act, or Control Shares Act, as set forth in Sections 61-6-1 to 61-6-12 of the Utah Code. The Control Shares Acquisition Act provides that any person or entity that acquires control shares of an issuing public corporation in a control share acquisition is denied voting rights with respect to the acquired shares, unless a majority of the disinterested shareholders of the issuing public corporation elects to restore such voting rights.

Our Bylaws provide that if a person proposes to make or has made a control share acquisition and no acquiring person statement has been delivered to the Company, or if the acquiring person has filed the acquiring person statement but the control shares have not been accorded full voting rights by the shareholders, the Company shall have the right to redeem, at fair market value, the control shares of the acquiring person within 60 days after the last acquisition of control shares by the acquiring person. In the event control shares acquired in a control share acquisition are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired control shares with a majority or more of the voting power, the shareholders of the Company shall not have dissenter's rights as provided in the Control Shares Act.

We expect the Control Shares Acquisitions Act to have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by our Board of Directors. The Control Shares Acquisition Act may also discourage takeover attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of Class A common stock held by our shareholders.

<u>Forum for Adjudication of Disputes</u>

Unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company's shareholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Act, or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, shall be a state or federal court located within the State of Utah. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Company shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to this forum selection provision.

1. I have reviewed this report on Form 10-K of Security National Financial Corporation;

2. Based on my knowledge, this annual report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this annual report;
