Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2006 (Unaudited)


1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements of the Company and notes thereto for the year ended
December 31, 2005, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K (file
number 0-9341). 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 and nine months ended September
30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ending December 31, 2006.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

The estimates susceptible to significant change are those used in determining
the liability for future policy benefits and claims, those used in determining
valuation allowances for mortgage loans on real estate, and those used in
determining the estimated future costs for pre-need sales. Although some
variability is inherent in these estimates, management believes the amounts
provided are fairly stated in all material respects.

Certain 2005 amounts have been reclassified to bring them into conformity with
the 2006 presentation.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2005, the AICPA issued Statement of Position 05-1, Accounting by
Insurance Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs ("DAC") in Connection with
Modifications or Exchanges of Insurance Contracts, ("SOP 05-1"). SOP 05-1
provides guidance on accounting by insurance enterprises for DAC on internal
replacements of insurance and investment contracts. An internal replacement is a
modification in product benefits, features, rights or coverages that occurs by
the exchange of a contract for a new contract, or by amendment, endorsement, or
rider to a 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 should be accounted for as an
extinguishment of the replaced contract. Unamortized DAC, unearned revenue
liabilities and deferred sales inducements from the replaced contract must be
written-off. Modifications that result in a contract that is substantially
unchanged from the replaced contract should be accounted for as a continuation
of the replaced contract. SOP 05-1 is effective for internal replacements
occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with earlier
adoption encouraged. Initial application of SOP 05-1 should be as of the
beginning of the entity's fiscal year. The Company is expected to adopt SOP 05-1
effective January 1, 2007. Adoption of this statement is not expected to have an
impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements; however, the impact
has not yet been determined.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid
Financial Instruments -- an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140 (SFAS
155). SFAS 155 amends SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities and SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities and related interpretations.
SFAS 155 permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument
that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation
and clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not
subject to recognition as liabilities. SFAS 155 eliminates the prohibition on a
qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument
that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial
instrument. SFAS 155 is effective for the Company for all financial instruments
acquired or issued beginning January 1, 2007. The impact of adoption of this
statement on the Company's consolidated financial statements, if any, has not
yet been determined.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of
Financial Assets - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (SFAS 156). SFAS 156
amends SFAS 140 Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities and related interpretations. SFAS 156 requires an
entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it
undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset. It also requires all
separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially
measured at fair value, if practicable. SFAS 156 permits an entity to use either
the amortization method or the fair value measurement method for each class of
separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS 156 is
effective for the Company as of January 1, 2007. The impact of adoption of this
statement on the Company's consolidated financial statements, if any, has not
yet been determined.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 prescribes a
recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement
recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a
tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition classification,
interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and
transition. The interpretation is effective for the fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2006. The impact of adoption of this interpretation on the
Company's consolidated financial statements, if any, has not yet been
determined.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers' Accounting for
Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB
Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R) ("SFAS 158"). Under SFAS 158, companies
must recognize a net liability or asset to report the funded status of their
defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans on their balance
sheets. The effective date of the recognition and disclosure provisions for
calendar-year public companies is for calendar years ending after December 15,
2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard but it
is not expected to have a significant effect on the consolidated financial
statements for the year ending December 31, 2006.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS
157"). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 will be
applied prospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November
15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. SFAS 157 is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 108 ("SAB 108"). SAB 108 was issued to provide
interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior
year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year
misstatement. The provisions of SAB 108 are effective for the Company for its
December 31, 2006 year-end. The adoption of SAB 108 is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

3. Comprehensive Income

For the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, total comprehensive
income amounted to $1,254,000 and $2,587,000, respectively. This decrease of
$1,332,000 was primarily the result of an increase in net income of $215,000, a
decrease in derivatives of $465,000, and a $1,082,000 decrease in unrealized
gains and losses in securities available for sale.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, total comprehensive
income amounted to $3,915,000 and $3,292,000 respectively. This increase of
$623,000 was primarily the result of an increase in net income of $1,121,000, a
decrease in derivatives of $848,000, and an increase of $350,000 in unrealized
gains and losses in securities available for sale.

4. Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment" ("FAS 123R") for
its stock-based compensation plans. The Company previously accounted for these
plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") and
related interpretations and disclosure requirements established by SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") as amended by SFAS No.
148, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure."

Under APB 25, no compensation expense was recorded in earnings for the Company's
stock-based options granted under its compensation plans. The pro forma effects
on net income and earnings per share for the options and awards granted under
the plans were instead disclosed in a note to the consolidated financial
statements. Under SFAS 123R, all stock-based compensation is measured at the
grant date, based on the fair value of the option or award, and is recognized as
an expense in earnings over the requisite service, which is typically through
the date the options vest.

The Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective method. Under this
method, for all stock-based options and awards granted prior to January 1, 2006
that remain outstanding as of that date, compensation cost is recognized for the
unvested portion over the remaining requisite service period, using the
grant-date fair value measured under the original provisions of SFAS 123 for pro
forma and disclosure purposes. Furthermore, compensation costs will also be
recognized for any awards issued, modified, repurchased or cancelled after
January 1, 2006.

The Company utilized the Black-Scholes-Merton model for calculating the fair
value pro forma disclosures under SFAS 123 and will continue to use this model,
which is an acceptable valuation approach under SFAS 123R. The following table
summarizes the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model assumptions used to
compute the weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during the
periods below:

Nine Months Ended
September 30,
2006 2005
----- ----
Dividend yield N/A* 5%
Expected volatility N/A* 39%
Risk-free interest rate N/A* 3.4%
Expected holding period (in years) N/A* 7.5
Weighted-average fair value of options granted N/A* $1.92
- ----------------
* Not applicable as there were no options granted during the period.

No options were granted for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Total
compensation costs relating to stock-based compensation was not material during
the nine months ended September 30, 2006, including the effects from adoption of
SFAS 123R, which would have previously been presented in a pro forma disclosure,
as discussed above.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share
as if the Company had applied the fair-value recognition provisions of SFAS 123

8. Other Business Activity

The City of Phoenix (in Arizona) began condemnation proceedings during 2004 on
the property where the Camelback Funeral Home was located for purposes of
constructing a light rail facility. The city placed $1,200,000 in escrow to pay
the Company for the property that was condemned. The carrying amount on the
Company's financial statements for the land and building of the Camelback
Funeral Home at December 31, 2005 was $678,889. The Company has had an
independent appraisal and negotiated a higher sales price with the city. In July
2006, the Company settled with the City of Phoenix for a sales price of
$1,440,000. As a result of the sale, the Company recognized a gain of $760,231
during the third quarter of 2006. The first payment of $1,200,000 was made by
the City of Phoenix in August 2006 with the remaining amount to be received
within 30 days of the city council's approval of the sales price.

The Company received a letter dated November 29, 2004 on behalf of Roger
Gornichec, who the Company recognizes as having been an independent contractor.
Gornichec had concluded his services as an agent selling insurance in the spring
of 2003 and his license to sell cemetery plots was not renewed in the summer of
2004. Gornichec asserted that he was an employee contrary to the Company's
position.

The claims made in the letter on behalf of Gornichec included but were not
limited to, wrongful termination in violation of public policy,
misrepresentation, age discrimination, whistle-blower retaliation, interference
with economic advantage, breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good
faith and fair dealing, and infliction of emotional distress. Gornichec also
claimed he was owed a certain amount from a retirement plan. The letter from
Gornichec's attorney proposed a settlement in the amount of $420,000. Based on
its investigation, the Company believes Gornichec was an independent contractor
rather than an employee, and there was no justification for the claims and the
settlement amount sought. The Company reached a settlement with Gornichec, which
resulted in the Company paying $27,000 to Gornichec during the second quarter of
2006.

The Company received a letter dated November 9, 2004 on behalf of Charles Hood,
who worked at Singing Hills Memorial Park in El Cajon, California. Hood was
hired in early 2003 as a groundskeeper with his work concluding on October 30,
2003. Hood claims he wrote a letter to the Company expressing his concerns
regarding the operation of the cemetery, and that the next day he was
terminated, even though he recognizes his relationship was as an at-will
employee. Hood's claims against the Company also include, but are not limited
to, violation of labor laws, whistleblower retaliation and infliction of
emotional distress. The letter proposed a settlement in the amount of $275,000.

On November 23, 2005, Hood filed a complaint in the Superior Court of the State
of California for the County for San Diego (Case No. GIE 028978) against Singing
Hills Memorial Park and California Memorial Estates, Inc, wholly owned
subsidiaries of the Company. The claims in the complaint include wrongful
termination in violation of public policy, retaliation in violation of public
policy, race discrimination in violation of the California Fair Employment and
Housing Act, retaliation in violation of the California Fair Employment and
Housing Act, intentional infliction of emotional distress, plus punitive
damages, attorney's fees and costs of the lawsuit. There are no specific amounts
requested in the complaint, but damages are in an amount to be proven at a jury
trial. The Company contends that Hood voluntarily quit and was not terminated.
The trial was set for November 2006. The Company reached a settlement with Hood,
which resulted in the Company paying $30, 000 to Hood, during the third quarter
of 2006.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overview

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

During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, SecurityNational Mortgage
Company ("SNMC") experienced an increase in revenue and expenses due to the
increase in loan volume of its operations. SNMC is a mortgage lender
incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah. SNMC is approved and regulated
by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), a department of the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), to originate mortgage loans that qualify
for government insurance in the event of default by the borrower. SNMC obtains
loans primarily from independent brokers and correspondents. SNMC funds the
loans from internal cash flows and lines of credit from financial institutions.
SNMC receives fees from the borrowers and other secondary fees from third party
investors who purchase the loans from SNMC. SNMC primarily sells all of its
loans to third party investors and does not retain servicing to these loans.
SNMC pays the brokers and correspondents a commission for loans that are
brokered through SNMC. SNMC originated and sold 9,665 ($1,607,842,000) and 9,421
(1,516,694,000) loans, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30,
2006 and 2005.

Results of Operations

Third Quarter of 2006 Compared to Third Quarter of 2005

Total revenues increased by $3,014,000, or 8.5%, to $38,575,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2006, from $35,561,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2005. Contributing to this increase in total revenues was an
$546,000 increase in mortgage fee income, a $1,100,000 increase in insurance
premiums and other considerations, a $267,000 increase in net investment income,
a $393,000 increase in net mortuary and cemetery sales, and a $716,000 increase
in realized gains on investments and other assets.

Insurance premiums and other considerations increased by $1,100,000, or 17.1%,
to $7,537,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from $6,437,000 for
the comparable period in 2005. This increase was primarily due to additional
premiums realized from new insurance sales and from the acquisition of Memorial
Insurance Company on December 29, 2005.

Net investment income increased by $267,000, or 4.9%, to $5,742,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 2006, from $5,475,000 for the comparable period
in 2005. This increase was primarily attributable to additional interest income
from increased long-term bond and mortgage purchases over the comparable period
in 2005 and additional investment income from the assets received from the
acquisition of Memorial Insurance Company.

Net mortuary and cemetery sales increased by $393,000, or 15.9%, to $2,865,000
for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from $2,472,000 for the
comparable period in 2005. This increase was due to increased at-need sales in
cemetery and mortuary operations and increased pre-need land sales in cemetery
operations.

Realized gains on investments and other assets increased by $716,000 to $731,000
for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $15,000 for the comparable
period in 2005. This was due primarily to a gain of $760,000 from the sale of
the Camelback Funeral Home to the city of Phoenix pursuant to condemnation
proceedings to construct a light rail facility.
Mortgage fee income increased by $546,000, or 2.6%, to $21,602,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2006, from $21,056,000 for the comparable period in
2005. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of
loan originations during the third quarter of 2006 due to the opening of
additional mortgage offices and increased production in existing mortgage
offices, which resulted in financing a greater number of mortgage loans.

Total benefits and expenses were $36,441,000, or 94.5% of total revenues, for
the three months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to $33,605,000, or 94.5%
of total revenues, for the comparable period in 2005. This increase primarily
resulted from increased loan costs at SecurityNational Mortgage Company due to a
greater number of loan originations and additional expenses from the operations
of Memorial Insurance Company, which the Company acquired on December 29, 2005.

Death benefits, surrenders and other policy benefits, and increase in future
policy benefits increased by an aggregate of $860,000, or 14.7%, to $6,705,000
for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from $5,845,000 for the
comparable period in 2005. This increase was primarily the result of an increase
in death benefits and surrenders and other policy benefits.

Amortization of deferred policy and pre-need acquisition costs and costs of
insurance acquired increased by $642,000, or 86.6%, to $1,383,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2006, from $741,000 for the comparable period in
2005. This increase was primarily due to increased business and to adjustments
in actuarial assumptions.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1,427,000, or 5.7%,
to $26,464,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from $25,037,000
for the comparable period in 2005. This increase primarily resulted from an
increase in commissions due to a greater number of mortgage loan originations
made by SecurityNational Mortgage Company during the third quarter of 2006,
additional expenses from the operations of Memorial Insurance Company, which the
Company purchased on December 29, 2005, and increased salaries of existing
employees and an increase in the number of employees.

Interest expense decreased by $171,000, or 11.4%, to $1,331,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2006, from $1,502,000 for the comparable period in
2005. This decrease was primarily due to a reduction in warehouse lines of
credit required for a fewer number of warehoused mortgage loans made by
SecurityNational Mortgage Company.

Cost of goods and services sold of the mortuaries and cemeteries increased by
$78,000, or 16.3%, to $558,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006,
from $480,000 for the comparable period in 2005. This increase was primarily due
to increased pre-need cemetery land sales.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30,
2005

Total revenues increased by $9,898,000, or 10.4%, to $105,125,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006, from $95,227,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005. Contributing to this increase in total revenues was a
$4,840,000 increase in mortgage fee income, a $2,165,000 increase in insurance
premiums and other considerations, a $1,403,000 increase in net investment
income, a $870,000 increase in net mortuary and cemetery sales and a $750,000
increase in realized gains on investments and other assets. This increase was
partially offset by a $131,000 decrease in other revenues.

Insurance premiums and other considerations increased by $2,165,000, or 10.6%,
to $22,495,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $20,330,000
for the comparable period in 2005. This increase was primarily due to additional
premiums realized from new insurance sales and from the acquisition of Memorial
Insurance Company on December 29, 2005.
Net investment  income increased by $1,403,000,  or 9.4%, to $16,321,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $14,918,000 for the comparable period
in 2005. This increase was primarily attributable to additional interest income
from increased long-term bond and mortgage purchases over the comparable period
in 2005 and additional investment income from the assets received as a result of
the acquisition of Memorial Insurance Company.

Net mortuary and cemetery sales increased by $870,000, or 10.6% to $9,074,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $8,204,000 for the comparable
period in 2005. This increase was due to increased at-need sales at the cemetery
and mortuary operations and increased pre-need land sales in cemetery
operations.

Realized gains on investments and other assets increased by $750,000 to $789,000
for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $39,000 for the comparable
period in 2005. This was primarily due to a gain of $760,000 from the sale of
the Camelback Funeral Home to the city of Phoenix pursuant to condemnation
proceedings to construct a light rail facility.

Mortgage fee income increased by $4,840,000, or 9.4%, to $56,162,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $51,322,000 for the comparable period
in 2005. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the number
of loan originations during the first nine months of 2006 due to the opening of
additional mortgage offices and increased production in existing mortgage
offices, which resulted in financing a greater number of mortgage loans.

Other revenues decreased by $131,000, or 31.6%, to $284,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2006 from $415,000 for the comparable period in 2005. This
decrease was due to a reduction in other revenues from the Company's mortuary
operations.

Total benefits and expenses were $100,796,000, or 95.9% of total revenues, for
the nine months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to $92,307,000, or 96.9%
of total revenues, for the comparable period in 2005. This increase primarily
resulted from increased loan costs at SecurityNational Mortgage Company due to a
greater number of loan originations and additional expenses from the operations
of Memorial Insurance Company, which the Company acquired on December 29, 2005.

Death benefits, surrenders and other policy benefits, and increase in future
policy benefits increased by an aggregate of $2,276,000, or 12.5%, to
$20,440,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $18,164,000 for
the comparable period in 2005. This increase was primarily due to increased
business and to adjustments in actuarial assumptions.

Amortization of deferred policy and pre-need acquisition costs and costs of
insurance acquired increased by $488,000, or 19.8%, to $2,949,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006, from $2,461,000 for the comparable period in
2005. This increase was primarily due to the realization of improvements in
persistency and to expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $5,286,000, or 7.9%,
to $72,202,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $66,916,000
for the comparable period in 2005. This increase primarily resulted from an
increase in commissions due to a greater number of mortgage loan originations
made by SecurityNational Mortgage Company during the first nine months of 2006,
additional expenses from the operations of Memorial Insurance Company, which the
Company purchased on December 29, 2005, and increased salaries of existing
employees and an increase in the number of employees.
Interest  expense  increased by $268,000,  or 8.4%, to  $3,440,000  for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006, from $3,172,000 for the comparable period in
2005. This increase was primarily due to increased warehouse lines of credit
required for a greater number of warehoused mortgage loans made by
SecurityNational Mortgage Company.

Cost of goods and services sold of the mortuaries and cemeteries increased by
$171,000, or 10.7%, to $1,766,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006,
from $1,595,000 for the comparable period in 2005. This increase was primarily
due to increased cemetery and mortuary sales.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's life insurance subsidiaries and cemetery and mortuary subsidiaries
realize cash flow from premiums, contract payments and sales on personal
services rendered for cemetery and mortuary business, from interest and
dividends on invested assets, and from the proceeds from the maturity of
held-to-maturity investments or sale of other investments. The mortgage
subsidiary realizes cash flow from fees generated by originating and refinancing
mortgage loans and interest earned on mortgages sold to investors. The Company
considers these sources of cash flow to be adequate to fund future policyholder
and cemetery and mortuary liabilities, which generally are long-term, and
adequate to pay current policyholder claims, annuity payments, expenses on the
issuance of new policies, the maintenance of existing policies, debt service,
and 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 predominantly in fixed maturity
securities, mortgage loans, and warehousing of mortgage loans on a short-term
basis before selling the loans to investors in accordance with the requirements
and laws governing the life insurance subsidiaries. Bonds owned by the life
insurance subsidiaries amounted to $99,900,000 as of September 30, 2006,
compared to $96,378,000 as of December 31, 2005. This represents 45.3% and 46.0%
of the total insurance-related investments as of September 30, 2006, and
December 31, 2005, 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
rating bonds. At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, 2% ($1,575,000) and
4% ($3,431,000) of the Company's total bond investments were invested in bonds
in rating categories three through six, which are considered non-investment
grade.

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

The Company is subject to risk based capital guidelines established by statutory
regulators requiring minimum capital levels based on the perceived risk of
assets, liabilities, disintermediation, and business risk. At September 30, 2006
and December 31, 2005, the capital levels of the life insurance subsidiary
exceeded the regulatory criteria.
The Company's total  capitalization  of  stockholders'  equity and bank debt and
notes payable was $58,574,000 as of September 30, 2006, as compared to
$55,971,000 as of December 31, 2005. Stockholders' equity as a percent of total
capitalization was 85% and 82% as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005,

Lapse rates measure the amount of insurance terminated during a particular
period. The Company's lapse rate for life insurance in 2005 was 7.9% as compared
to a rate of 9.0% for 2004. The 2006 lapse rate to date has been approximately
the same as 2005.

At September 30, 2006, $16,884,000 of the Company's consolidated stockholders'
equity represents the statutory stockholders' equity of the Company's life
insurance subsidiaries. The life insurance subsidiaries cannot pay a dividend to
its parent company without the approval of insurance regulatory authorities.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

principal executive officer and principal financial officer have reviewed and
evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the "Exchange Act") as of September 30, 2006. Based on that evaluation,
the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer have
concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective,
providing them with material information relating to the Company as required to
be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act
on a timely basis.

(b) Changes in internal controls - There were no significant changes in the
Company's internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that
could significantly affect the Company's internal controls and procedures
subsequent to the date of their most recent evaluation, nor were there any
significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the Company's internal
controls. As a result, no corrective actions were required or undertaken.

Part II - Other Information:

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company received a letter dated November 9, 2004 on behalf of Charles Hood,
who worked at Singing Hills Memorial Park in El Cajon, California. Hood was
hired in early 2003 as a groundskeeper with his work concluding on October 30,
2003. Hood claims he wrote a letter to the Company expressing his concerns
regarding the operation of the cemetery, and that the next day he was
terminated, even though he recognizes his relationship was as an at-will
employee. Hood's claims against the Company also include, but are not limited
to, violation of labor laws, whistleblower retaliation and infliction of
emotional distress. The letter proposed a settlement in the amount of $275,000.

On November 23, 2005, Hood filed a complaint in the Superior Court of the State
of California for the County for San Diego (Case No. GIE 028978) against Singing
Hills Memorial Park and California Memorial Estates, Inc, wholly owned
subsidiaries of the Company. The claims in the complaint include wrongful
termination in
violation of public  policy,  retaliation  in violation of public  policy,  race
discrimination in violation of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act,
retaliation in violation of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act,
intentional infliction of emotional distress, plus punitive damages, attorney's
fees and costs of the lawsuit. There are no specific amounts requested in the
complaint, but damages are in an amount to be proven at a jury trial. The
Company contends that Hood voluntarily quit and was not terminated. The trial
was set for November 2006. The Company reached a settlement with Hood, which
resulted in payment of $30,000 to Hood.

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.
