1.     Unaudited Financial Statements:

       The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by management in
       conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles for interim
       financial  statements and with  instructions  to Form 10-Q and Regulation
       S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all the  disclosures  required by
       generally   accepted   accounting   principles  for  complete   financial
       statements.  All adjustments and accruals  considered  necessary for fair
       presentation of financial  information  have been included in the opinion
       of management, and are of a normal recurring nature. Quarterly results of
       operations  are not  necessarily  indicative  of  annual  results.  These
       statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated  financial
       statements and the notes thereto  included in the Southern  Security Life
       Insurance  Company  1997  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
       ended December 31, 1997.

2.     Comprehensive Income:

       The company adopted Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No.130,
       "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income".  This statement establishes standards
       for reporting  and display of  comprehensive  income and its  components.
       Adoption of this  Statement  had no impact on the Company's net income or
       stockholder's equity.  Statement 130 requires unrealized gains and losses
       on the  Company's  available-for-sale  securities to be included in other
       comprehensive  income.  Prior to  adoption,  unrealized  gains and losses
       related to  available-for-sale  securities  were  reported  separately in
       stockholders' equity.

       Total comprehensive income was $19,743  and $(68,936), for the six months
       ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.


 3.    New Accounting Pronouncements

     In June 1998, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
     Financial   Accounting   Standards  No.  133,  "Accounting  for  Derivative
     Instruments  and  Hedging  Activities"   (Statement  133).   Statement  133
     establishes  accounting  and  reporting  standards for  derivative  instru-
     ments,   including  certain  derivative   instruments   embedded  in  other
     contracts,(collectively   referred  to  as  derivatives)  and  for  hedging
     activities.  It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either
     assets or liabilities in the
                                       8

     133 to see what impact, if any it will have on the Company.

  4. Subsequent Event
 
     Consolidare Enterprises,  Inc., a Florida corporation  ("Consolidare") owns
     approximately  57.4%  of the  outstanding  shares  of  common  stock of the
     Company.  Security  National  Financial  Corporation,  a  Utah  Corporation
     ("Security National") has entered into an Acquisition Agreement dated as of
     April 24, 1998 (the "Agreement") with Consolidare and certain  shareholders
     of Consolidare  which  provides for the merger of Consolidare  and Security
     National.  Security  National is a life insurance  holding company which is
     also  engaged in  mortgage  lending  and the  ownership  and  operation  of
     cemeteries,  mortuaries and office buildings.  Security  National's Class A
     common  stock is traded on the  NASDAQ  National  Market  System  under the
     symbol "SNFCA."


     As consideration for the acquisition of Consolidare, Security National will
     pay to  security  holders  of  Consolidare  an  aggregate  of  $11,356,400,
     together with an amount equal to the current  assets of  Consolidare  as of
     the  closing  date,  plus  additional  consideration  as  provided  in  the
     agreement. For purposes of the agreement, current assets of Consolidare are
     defined as cash and cash  equivalents  (with  interest  earned  through the
     closing date) and accrued  commissions  and interest due to Insuradyne  and
     Consolidare  from the Company.  In addition to the purchase  consideration,
     Security  National  is required to cause the company to pay, on the closing
     date,  $1,050,000 to George Pihakis,  who is currently  President and Chief
     Executive Officer of the Company, as a lump sum settlement of the executive
     compensation agreement between the Company and Mr. Pihakis.

     The  closing of the  Agreement  is  contingent  upon  regulator  approvals,
     including the approval of the Florida  Department of Insurance,  compliance
     or waiver of compliance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino  Antitrust Improvements
     Act of 1976, approval of the Agreement  by  the   affirmative   vote of  a

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results 
of Operation.

Overview.

         This analysis of the results of operations  and financial  condition of
Southern  Security  Life  should  be  read in  conjunction  with  the  Condensed
Financial Statements and Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements included in
this report.

         In recent years the Company has primarily  issued one type of insurance
product,  universal  life.  Universal  life  provides  insurance  coverage  with
flexible premiums,  within limits,  which allow policyholders to accumulate cash
values.  These accumulated cash values are credited with tax-deferred  interest,
as  adjusted  by the  Company  on a  periodic  basis.  Deducted  from these cash
accumulations are  administrative  charges and mortality costs.  Should a policy
surrender in its early years, the Company assesses a surrender fee against these
same  cash  accumulations,  based on issue  age of the  insured,  smoker  verses
non-smoker status, sex of the insured and the duration of the policy at the time
of surrender.

         Pursuant to the accounting methods prescribed by Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standards No. 97 (SFAS 97), premiums received from  policyholders on
universal  life  products  are  credited to  policyholder  account  balances,  a
liability,  rather  than  income.  Revenues  on such  products  result  from the
mortality and administrative  fees charged to policyholder  balances in addition
to surrender  charges assessed at the time of surrender as explained above. Such
costs of  insurance,  expense  charges,  and  surrender  fees are  recognized as
revenue as earned. In addition,  the Company has adopted policy designs with the
characteristic  of having higher  expense  charges  during the first policy year
than in renewal  years.  Under SFAS 97, the excess of these charges are reported
as unearned revenue. The unearned revenue is then amortized into income over the
life of the policy  using the same  assumptions  and  factors  used to  amortize
capitalized  acquisition  costs.  Interest credited to policyholder  balances is
shown as a part of benefit expenses.

         In accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles,  certain
costs  directly  associated  with the  issuance of new policies are deferred and
amortized  over the lives of the  policies.  These costs are defined as deferred
policy acquisition costs and are shown in the asset section of the balance sheet
of the Company. Capitalized acquisition costs are amortized over the life of the
business at a constant rate,  based on the present value of the estimated  gross
profits expected to be realized over the life of the business.  SFAS 97 requires
that  estimates of expected  gross profits used as a basis for  amortization  be
evaluated on a regular basis, and the total  amortization to date be adjusted as
a charge or credit to earnings if actual  experience or other evidence  suggests
that earlier estimates be revised.  Thus,  variations in the amortization of the
deferred  policy  acquisition  costs,  from one period to the next, are a normal
aspect of universal life insurance business and are generally  attributed to the
recognition of current and emerging experience in accordance with the principles
of SFAS 97.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operation.

Overview, continued

         Annuity  products,  of which the Company  currently has a minor amount,
are  recorded in similar  fashion to  universal  life  products.  Considerations
received by the Company are credited to the annuity  account  balances which are
shown as a  liability  in the  balance  sheet.  Interest  is  credited  to these
accounts  as well and shown as an  expense  of the  Company.  Income is  derived
primarily from surrender charges on this type product.

         An additional  source of income to the Company is  investment  revenue.
The Company invests those funds deposited by policyholders of universal life and
annuity  products in debt and equity  securities  in order to earn  interest and
dividend  income,  a portion  of which is  credited  back to the  policyholders.
Interest rates and maturities of the Company's  investment portfolio play a part
in determining the interest rates credited to policyholders.

         Product profitability is affected by several different factors, such as
mortality  experience ( actual versus  expected),  interest rate spreads (excess
interest earned over interest credited to policyholders)  and controlling policy
acquisition costs and other costs of operation. The results of any one reporting
period  may be  significantly  affected  by the  level of death  claims or other
policyholder benefits incurred due to the Company's relatively small size.

Results of Operations.

     Total  reveunues  increased by $580,000,  or 10% to $6,163,000  for the six
months ended June 30, 1998,  from  $5,583,000  for the six months ended June 30,
1997.  Contributing  to this  increase was a $68,000  increase in net  insurance
revenues,  a $149,000  increase in net investment income and a $363,000 increase
in realized gain on investments.

     Net incsurance  revenues increased by $68,000, or 2%, to $3,881,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1998,  from  $3,813,000 for the  comparable  period in
1997.  This increase was primarily due to new  policicies  placed in force and a
decrease in policy terminations  (lapses & surrenders) of 14% as compared to the
same period in 1997. New policies placed in force in 1997 and 1998 have a lesser
face  value and are not  required  to be  reinsured.  Conservation  of  in-force
policies has a positive effect to maintain premium  revenues.  These two factors
attributed to the increase in net insurance revenues.

Results of Operations, continued

     Net investment  income  increased by $149,000,  or 9% to $1,868,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1998,  from  $1,719,000 for the  comparable  period of
1997. The increase was  attributable  to the revised  investment  strategies the
Company made in 1997 to increase its earned interest rate.

     Since the  restructuring, and with a favorable  market in the stock  market
mutual funds,  the Company realized gains on investments of $414,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $51,000 for the same period of 1997.

     Annuity,  death, surrender and other benefits and increase in future policy
benefits  increased by $161,000,  or 7% to  $2,545,000  for the six months ended
June 30, 1998, from  $2,384,000 for the comparable  period in 1997. The increase
was due primarily to increased  ordinary benefits and future policy reserves for
new in-force policies.

     Pursuant to GAAP,  the initial  costs  directly  associated  with  selling,
underwriting,   and  processing  traditional  ordinary  insurance  products  are
deferred and amortized over the  premium-paying  period of the related policies.
for interest-sensitive products, these costs are amortized over the lives of the
policies in  relation  to the present  value of  estimated  gross  profits  from
surrender charges and investment,  mortality,  and expense margins.  These costs
increase as the amount of sales and insurance in-force  increase.  The charge to
earnings for  amortization  of deferred policy  acquisitions  costs increased by
$136,500,  or 2% to  $1,727,000  for the six months  ended June 30,  1998,  from
$1,590,000  for the  comparable  period in 1997.  The  increase in  amortization
expenses was primarily due to increased amortization from the growth of business
in-force and the cost of business acquired.

     The  increase  in net  income for the six  months  ended June 30,  1998 was
$228,000.  This  increase  was  attibuted  to an increase  in total  revenues of
$580,000 of which $363,000  represents  realized gains on  investments,  $68,000
increase in net insurance  revenue,  $149,000 increase in net investment income.
The revenue increase is offset by an increase of benefits,  losses, expenses and
taxes of $352,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.

         Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 115 ("SFAS  115"),
"Accounting  for Certain  Investments  in Debt and Equity  Securities"  requires
investments  in all debt  securities  and those equity  securities  with readily
determinable   market  values  be  classified  into  one  of  three  categories:
held-to-maturity,  trading or available-for-sale.  Classification of investments
is based upon management's  current intent. Debt securities which management has

Liquidity and Capital Resources, continued

 
intent  and  ability  to  hold  until  maturity  are  classified  as  securities
held-to-maturity and are carried at amortized cost. Unrealized holding gains and
losses  on  securities  held-to-maturity,  are not  reflected  in the  financial
statements.  Debt and equity securities that are purchased for short-term resale
are classified as trading  securities.  Trading securities are carried at market
value, with unrealized holding gains and losses included in earnings.  All other
debt and  equity  securities  not  included  in the  above  two  categories  are
classified as securities available-for- sale. Securities  available-for-sale are
carried at market value, with unrealized  holding gains and losses reported as a
separate  component of other  comprehensive  income,  net of tax and a valuation
allowance against deferred acquisition costs.

     The Company's  insurance  operations have  historically  provided  adequate
positive cash flow enabling the Company to continue to meet operational needs as
well as increase its investment-grade securities to provide ample protection for
policyholders.  Except as otherwise  provided herin,  management  believes that
cash flow levels in future periods will be such that the Company will be able to
continue its prior growth patterns in writing life  insurance  policies and meet
normal operating expenses.

     The National  Association of Insurance  Commissioners,  in order to enhance
the regulation of insurer solvency,  issued a model law to implement  risk-based
capital (RBC) requirements for life insurance  companies,  which are designed to
assess  capital  adequacy.  Pursuant  to the model  law,  insurers  having  less
statutory  surplus  than  required  by the RBC  calculation  will be  subject to
varying degrees of regulatory  action.  At June 30, 1998, and December 31, 1997,
the  Company  had  statutory  surplus  well in  excess of any RBC  action  level
requirements.

     The Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures throughout
the  balance of the year 1998 as all  rentable  space on the first  floor of its
office building is fully leased.

     The Company is aware of potential  problems all computer  systems face with
respect to the year 2000, and has investigated various solutions.  Present plans
call for the  conversion  to be completed by the end of 1998. It is estimated to
cost  approximately  $200,000,  which  would not have a  material  impact on the
Company.

     Testing for  hardware  problems  will be done during the second  quarter of
1999,  although the Company is not  expecting  any  problems  which could not be
solved before December 31, 1999.
