payments do not exceed 10 years.  However, in the event Mr. Quist's employment

                                    Employee Stock Ownership Plan

Ownership Plan, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company's

Under the Ownership Plan, the Company has discretionary power to make
contributions on behalf of all eligible employees into a trust created under
the Ownership Plan.  Employees become eligible to participate in the Ownership
Plan when they have attained the age of 19 and have completed one year of
service (a twelve-month period in which the Employee completes at least 1,040
hours of service).  The Company's contributions under the Ownership Plan are
allocated to eligible employees on the same ratio that each eligible
employee's compensation bears to total compensation for all eligible
employees during each year.  To date, the Ownership Plan has approximately
95 participants and had contributions payable to the Plan in 1995 of $21,914.

Benefits under the Ownership Plan vest as follows: 20% after the third year of
eligible service by an employee, an additional 20% in the fourth, fifth, sixth
and seventh years of eligible service by an employee.  Benefits under the
Ownership Plan will be paid out in one lump sum or in installments in the
event the employee becomes disabled, reaches the age of 65, or is terminated
by the Company and demonstrates financial hardship.  The Ownership Plan
Committee, however, retains discretion to determine the final method of
payment.  Finally, the Company reserves the right to amend or terminate the
Ownership Plan at any time.  The trustees of the trust fund under the
Ownership Plan are Messrs. R.A.F. McCormick, George R. Quist, and William C.
Sargent, all directors of the Company.

                                  1987 Incentive Stock Option Plan

In 1987, the Company adopted the 1987 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the 1987
Plan).  The 1987 Plan provides that shares of the Class A Common Stock of the
Company may be optioned to certain officers and key employees of the Company. 
The Plan establishes a Stock Option Plan Committee which selects the employees
to whom the options will be granted and determines the price of the stock.  The
Plan establishes the minimum purchase price of the stock at an amount which is
not less than 100% of the fair market value of the stock (110% for employees
owning more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of
stock).  The Plan provides that if additional shares of Class A Common Stock
are issued pursuant to a stock split or a stock dividend, the number of 
shares of Class A Common Stock then covered by each outstanding option
granted hereunder shall be increased proportionately with no increase in the
total purchase price of the shares then so covered, and the number of shares
of Class A Common Stock reserved for the purpose of the Plan shall be
increased by the same proportion.  In the event that the shares of Class A 

<PAGE>

Common Stock of the Company from time to time issued and outstanding are
reduced by a combination of shares, the number of shares of Class A Common
Stock then covered by each outstanding option granted hereunder shall be
reduced proportionately with no reduction in the total price of the shares
then so covered, and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock reserved 
for the purposes of the Plan shall be reduced by the same proportion.
The Plan terminates ten years from its effective date and options granted
are non-transferable.  The Plan also includes a Stock Appreciation Right
which permits the holder of the option to elect to receive cash, amounting
to the difference between the option price and the fair market value of the
stock at the time of the exercise, or a lesser amount of stock without
payment, upon exercise of the option.

                                       1993 Stock Option Plan

On June 21, 1993, the Company adopted the Security National Financial
Corporation 1993 Stock Incentive Plan (the "1993 Plan"), which reserves 300,000
shares of Class A Common Stock for issuance thereunder.  The 1993 Plan was
approved at the annual meeting of the stockholders held on June 21, 1993.  The
1993 Plan allows the Company to grant options and issue shares as a means of
providing equity incentives to key personnel, giving them a proprietary
interest in the Company and its success and progress.

The 1993 Plan provides for the grant of options and the award or sale of stock
to officers, directors, and employees of the Company.  Both "incentive stock 
options," as defined under Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986
(the "Code"), and "non-qualified options" may be granted pursuant to the 1993
Plan.  The exercise prices for the options granted are equal to or greater
than the fair market value of the stock subject to such options as of the
date of grant, as determined by the Company's Board of Directors.

The options granted on April 29, 1993 were to reward certain officers and key
employees who have been employed by the Company for a number of years and
to help the Company retain these officers by providing them with an additional
incentive to contribute to the success of the Company.

The 1993 Plan is to be administered by the Board of Directors or by a committee
designated by the Board.  The terms of options granted or stock awards or sales
effected under the 1993 Plan are to be determined by the Board of Directors or
its committee.  The Plan provides that if the shares of Class A Common Stock
shall be subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares or
if the Company shall issue any shares of Class A Common Stock as a stock
dividend on its outstanding Class A Common Stock the number of shares of
Class A Common Stock deliverable upon the exercise of Options shall be 
increased or decreased proportionately, and appropriate adjustments shall be
made in the purchase price per share to reflect such subdivision,
combination or stock dividend.  No options may be exercised for a term of
more than ten years from the date of grant.  Options intended as incentive
stock options may be issued only to employees, and must meet certain
<PAGE>

conditions imposed by the code, including a requirement that the option
exercise price be no less than the fair market value of the option shares on
the date of grant.  The 1993 Plan provides that the exercise price for non-
qualified options will be not less than at least 50% of the fair market
value of the stock subject to such option as of the date of grant of such
options, as determined by the Company's Board of Directors.

The 1993 Plan has a term of ten years.  The Board of Directors may amend or
terminate the 1993 Plan at any time, subject to approval of certain
modifications to the 1993 Plan by the shareholders of the Company as may be
required by law or the 1993 Plan.
