1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the
three months ended March 31, 1996, are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 1996. For further information, refer to
the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto
for the year ended December 31, 1995, included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K (file number 0-9341).
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
Overview
The Company's operations over the last three years generally
reflect four trends or events which the Company expects to
continue: (i) increased attention to "niche" insurance
products, such as the Company's funeral plan policies,
annuities, and limited pay accident policies; (ii) decreased
general and administrative costs as a percentage of revenue
through efforts to reduce operating costs and through
eliminating unnecessary duplication of costs at acquired
companies; (iii) emphasis on high margin cemetery and mortuary
business; and (iv) capitalizing on the strong economy in the
intermountain west by originating and refinancing mortgage
loans.
First Quarter 1996 Compared to First Quarter 1995
Total revenues increased by $3,001,000 (58%), from $5,147,000
for the three months ended March 31 1995, to $8,148,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1996. Contributing to this
increase in total revenues was a $34,000 increase in insurance
premiums and other considerations, a $243,000 increase in net
investment income, a $592,000 increase in net mortuary and
cemetery sales, and a $2,203,000 increase in mortgage fee
income.
Net investment income increased by $243,000, from $1,680,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1995, to $1,923,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1996. This increase was
attributable to the Company's emphasis on investing its cash
and short-term investments in higher-yielding long term
investments.
Mortuary and cemetery sales increased by $592,000, from
$1,549,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 to
$2,141,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996. This
increase was primarily related to the acquisition of Greer-
Wilson Funeral Home in April 1995.
Mortgage fee income increased $2,203,000, from $316,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1995, to $2,519,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1996. This increase was the
result of a strong economy, and an increased demand for
housing in the intermountain area which has created activity
for loan originations.
Total benefits and expenses were $4,792,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1995, which is 93% of total revenue of
the Company, as compared to $7,743,000, or 95% of total
revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1996. Death
benefits, surrenders and other policy benefits and increase in
future policy benefits increased by $291,000, from $1,557,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1995, to $1,848,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1996. This increase is
primarily due to the maturing of the policies in force and the
acquisition of Civil Service Employees Life Insurance Company
in December 1995.
Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs has
increased by $14,000, from $230,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1995, to $244,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1996. This increase was also due to the maturing of the
policies in force.
The increase in general and administrative expenses resulted
from an increase in operations at Security National Mortgage,
the acquisitions of Greer-Wilson Funeral Home in April 1995
and Civil Service Employees Life Insurance Company in December
1995.
Interest expense increased by $185,000, from $220,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1995, to $405,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1996. This increase was primarily due
to the acquisitions of Greer-Wilson Funeral Home in April 1995
and Civil Service Employees Life Insurance Company in December
1995.
Cost of goods and services sold of the mortuaries and
cemeteries increased by $128,000, from $461,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1995, to $589,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996. This increase of goods and services
sold is consistent with the increase in sales at the
cemeteries and mortuaries.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's life insurance subsidiary and cemetery and
mortuary subsidiaries realize cash flow from premiums,
contract payments and sales on personal services rendered for
cemetery and mortuary business from interest and dividends on
invested assets, and from the proceeds from the maturity of
held-to-maturity investments, or sale of other investments.
The mortgage subsidiary realizes cash flow from fees generated
by originating and refinancing mortgage loans and interest
earned on mortgages sold to investors. The Company considers
these sources of cash flow to be adequate to fund future
policyholder and cemetery and mortuary liabilities which
generally are long-term and adequate to pay current
policyholder claims, annuity payments, expenses on the
issuance of new policies, the maintenance of existing
policies, debt service, and to meet operating expenses.
The Company attempts to match the duration of invested assets
with its policyholder and cemetery and mortuary liabilities.
The Company may sell investments other than those held to
maturity in the portfolio to help in this timing; however, to
date, that has not been necessary. The Company purchases
short-term investments on a temporary basis to meet the
expectations of short-term requirements of the Company's
products. The Company's investment philosophy is intended to
provide a rate of return which will persist during the
expected duration of policyholder and cemetery and mortuary
liabilities regardless of future interest rate movements.
The Company's investment policy is to invest predominately in
fixed maturity securities and warehouse mortgage loans on a
short-term basis before selling the loans to investors in
accordance with the requirements and laws governing the life
insurance subsidiary. Bonds owned by the insurance subsidiary
amounted to $50,277,000, at amortized cost as of March 31,
1996 compared to $51,143,000 at amortized cost as of December
31, 1995. This represents 65% of the total insurance related
investments in 1996 as compared to 66% in 1995. Generally all
bonds owned by the life insurance subsidiary are rated by the
National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). Under
this rating system, there are six categories used for rating
bonds. At March 31, 1996, 3.67% ($1,845,000) and at December
31, 1995, 3.61 ($1,851,000) of the Company's total investment
in bonds were invested in bonds in rating categories three
through six which are considered non-investment grade.
Based on preliminary information, the Company plans to hold
its fixed income securities, including high-yield securities,
in its portfolio to maturity. Business conditions, however,
may develop in the future which may indicate a need for a
higher level of liquidity in the investment portfolio. In
that event the Company believes it could sell short-term
investment grade securities before liquidating high-yielding
longer term securities.
The Company is subject to risk based capital guidelines
established by statutory regulators requiring minimum capital
levels based on the perceived risk of assets, liabilities,
disintermediation, and business risk. At December 31, 1995
and 1994, the life subsidiary exceeded the regulatory
criteria.
Stockholders' equity as a percent of assets is one measure of
capital strength. At March 31, 1996 the Company's ratio
increased to 17% up from 16% at December 31, 1995. This
increase is primarily due to the mortgage company utilizing
less of the warehouse line of credit, by financing the
mortgage loans through bank debt, and then selling them to
investors within 45 days, and repaying the debt. This
transaction results in a receivable for mortgage loans sold to
investors which are offset by a bank loan payable.
Computation of the ratio without this transaction results in
the Company's debt to total assets at 11% as of March 31, 1996
and 11% at December 31, 1995 and the Company's equity to total
assets to 20% as of March 31, 1996 and 18% at December 31,
1995.
Lapse rates measure the amount of insurance terminated during
a particular period. The Company's lapse rate for life
insurance in 1995 was 10.5%, as compared to a rate of 8% in
1994.
In February 1995, the Company purchased approximately 100
acres of real property (the "property") located in San Diego,
California; approximately 35 acres of which will be used for
the development of a cemetery. The purchase price of the
property was $1,162,000, $100,000 of which was paid in cash
and the balance of $1,062,000, together with interest thereon
at the rate of nine percent per annum, to be paid in 12
monthly payments of $5,000, thereafter in equal monthly
payments of $10,000; however, interest does not accrue on any
part of the principal balance until February 3, 1996. A
principal payment of $100,000 was made in December 1995. The
Company has obtained approval from the federal government and
the California Cemetery Board to operate a cemetery on the
property. The development of the cemetery will be financed
internally. Initial development of 35 acres to operate as a
cemetery is estimated to cost approximately $560,000.
In November 1995, the Company entered into a purchase sale
agreement with Myers Mortuary for the sale of the Company's
65% interest in Evergreen Memorial Partnership and the
Company's 50% interest in Evergreen Management Corporation.
As consideration for the sale of these entities, Myers
Mortuary paid $746,123 in satisfaction of the indebtedness
that Evergreen Memorial Partnership owes to the Company.
Myers Mortuary has also agreed to pay $200,000 to the Company
in four equal annual installments of $50,000, beginning as of
October 31, 1996. In addition, Myers Mortuary will pay a
$10.00 royalty to the Company for each adult space sold in
Evergreen Memorial Park over the next ten years, beginning as
of January 1, 1996.
In December 1995, the Company purchased all of the outstanding
shares of common stock of Civil Service Employees Life
Insurance Company from Civil Service Employees Insurance
Company for a total cost of $5,200,000, which included a
promissory note in the amount of $1,063,000. Interest on the
promissory note accrues at 7% per annum. Principal payments
are to be made in seven equal annual installments of $151,857,
beginning on December 29, 1996. Accrued interest will be
payable annually beginning on December 29, 1996.
In March 1995, the Company purchased 97,800 shares of common
stock of Greer-Wilson Funeral Home, Inc., ("Greer-Wilson")
representing 97.8% of the total issued and outstanding shares
of common stock of Greer-Wilson for a total consideration of
$1,218,000, which included a note to the former owners for
$588,000.
At March 31, 1996, $9,513,000 of the Company's consolidated
stockholders' equity represents the statutory stockholders'
equity of the Company's insurance subsidiary. The life
insurance subsidiary cannot pay a dividend to its parent
company without the approval of insurance regulatory
authorities.
