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 nine months ended September 30, 1999, are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ending December 31, 1999.  For further information, refer to
the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the
year ended December 31, 1998, included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K (file number 0-9341).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles 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
adequate.

2. Comprehensive Income
   --------------------
For the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, total
comprehensive income amounted to $142,000 and $579,000,
respectively.

For the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, total
comprehensive income (loss) amounted to $224,000 and $(91,000),
respectively.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis
         ------------------------------------
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 interest sensitive
products; (ii) emphasis on cemetery and mortuary business; and (iii)
capitalizing on the strong economy in the western United States by
originating and refinancing mortgage loans.

On December 17, 1998, the Company purchased all of the outstanding
shares of common stock of Consolidare Enterprises, Inc.,
("Consolidare") for a total cost of $12,248,194.  As of September
30, 1999, Consolidare owns approximately 60.9% of the outstanding
shares of common stock of Southern Security Life Insurance Company
and all of the outstanding shares of stock of Insuradyne Corp.

The purchase of Consolidare, including its subsidiaries was
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.  Thus the
results of operations of the Company for the nine and three months
ended September 30, 1998 do not include the results of Consolidare.
In the Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Results of
Operations, the results of Consolidare for the nine and three months
ended September 30, 1999 have been excluded.  See table
"Consolidated Statements of Earnings without Consolidare and
Subsidiaries" at the end of Management's Discussion and Analysis
which shows the effect of excluding the results of Consolidare for
the nine and three months ended September 30, 1999.

Including Consolidare, total revenues increased by $13,159,000, or
55.0%, to $37,077,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999,
from $23,918,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and
total benefits and expenses increased by $13,020,000 or 56.7%, to
$35,966,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, from
$22,946,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998.  Total
revenues increased by $4,391,000, or 54.9%, to $12,389,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1999, from $7,998,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1998 and total benefits and expenses
increased by $3,914,000, or 49.8% to $11,780,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1999, from $7,866,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1998.  The results for Consolidare for
the nine and three months ended September 30, 1999 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ending December 31, 1999, since the Company has not yet
realized many of the reduced costs of consolidation of
administrative functions and the implementation of new computer
systems.

Results of Operations

Third Quarter of 1999 Compared to Third Quarter of 1998

Total revenues increased by $1,798,000, or 22.5%, to $9,796,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 1999, from $7,998,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1998.  Contributing to this
increase in total revenues was a $1,259,000 increase in mortgage fee
income, a $285,000 increase in net mortuary and cemetery sales, a
$93,000 increase in insurance premiums and other considerations and
a $164,000 increase in net investment income.

Insurance premiums and other considerations increased by $93,000, or
6.1%, to $1,600,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999,
from $1,507,000 for the comparable period in 1998.  This increase
was primarily due to an increase in new business.

<PAGE>

Net investment income increased by $164,000, or 8.8%, to $2,039,000
for the three months ended September 30, 1999, from $1,875,000 for
the comparable period in 1998.  This increase was attributable to a
higher yield on the Company's investments.

Net mortuary and cemetery sales increased by $285,000, or 13.6%, to
$2,379,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999, from
$2,094,000 for the comparable period in 1998.  This increase was the
result of additional pre-need and at-need sales.

Mortgage fee income increased by $1,259,000, or 50.3%, to $3,763,000
for the three months ended September 30, 1999, from $2,504,000 for
the comparable period in 1998.  This increase was primarily
attributable to more loan originations during the third quarter of
1999 due to the expansion of business activities in new geographic
markets.

Total benefits and expenses were $9,417,000, or 96.1% of total
revenues for the three months ended September 30 1999, as compared
to $7,866,000, or 98.3% of total revenues for the comparable period
in 1998.

Death benefits, surrenders and other policy benefits, and increase
in future policy benefits increased by an aggregate of $36,000, or
2.2%, to $1,706,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999,
from $1,670,000 for the comparable period in 1998.  This increase
was primarily the result of additional policies in force.

Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and cost of
insurance acquired decreased by $54,000, or 13.4%, to $347,000, for
the three months ended September 30, 1999, from $401,000 for the
comparable period in 1998.  This decrease was in line with actuarial
assumptions.

General and administrative expenses increased by $1,458,000, or
30.3%, to $6,268,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999,
from $4,810,000 for the comparable period in 1998.  This increase
primarily resulted from an increase in commissions and other
expenses due to additional mortgage loan originations having been
made by the Company's mortgage subsidiary during the third quarter
of 1999 on account of the expansion of its business activities in
new geographic markets.

Interest expense increased by $42,000, or 16.0%, to $305,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1999, from $263,000 for the
comparable period in 1998.  This increase was primarily due to
additional bank borrowings required for the acquisition of
Consolidare.

Cost of mortuaries and cemeteries goods and services sold increased
by $69,000, or 9.6%, to $790,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1999, from $721,000 for the comparable period in 1998.
This increase was primarily related to an increase in pre-need and
at-need sales.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 as Compared to Nine Months
Ended September 30, 1998

Total revenues increased by $4,925,000, or 20.6%, to $28,843,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999, from $23,918,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998.  Contributing to this increase
in total revenues was a $3,796,000 increase in mortgage fee income,
a $126,000 increase in realized gains on investments, a $261,000
increase in insurance premiums and other considerations, a $671,000
increase in net mortuary and cemetery sales, and a $55,000 increase
in net investment income.

<PAGE>

Insurance premiums and other considerations increased by $261,000,
or 5.8%, to $4,784,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999,
from $4,522,000 for the comparable period in 1998.  This increase
was primarily due to an increase in new business.

Net investment income increased by $55,000, or 1.0%, to $5,642,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, from $5,587,000 for
the comparable period in 1998.  This increase was attributable to a
higher yield on the Company's investments.

Net mortuary and cemetery sales increased by $671,000, or 9.6%, to
$7,637,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, from
$6,966,000 for the comparable period in 1998.  This increase was the
result of additional pre-need and at-need sales.

Mortgage fee income increased by $3,796,000, or 56.8%, to
$10,483,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, from
$6,687,000 for the comparable period in 1998.  This increase was
primarily attributable to more loan originations during 1999 due to
the expansion of business activities in new geographic markets.

Total benefits and expenses were $28,120,000, or 97.5% of total
revenues for the nine months ended September 30 1999, as compared to
$22,946,000, or 95.9% of total revenues for the comparable period in
1998.

Death benefits, surrenders and other policy benefits, and increase
in future policy benefits increased by an aggregate of $242,000, or
4.8%, to $5,300,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999,
from $5,058,000 for the comparable period in 1998.  This increase
was primarily the result of accumulative interest on policyholder
funds and an increase in death claims.

Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and cost of
insurance acquired increased by $38,000, or 3.8%, to $1,032,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999, from $994,000 for the
comparable period in 1998.  This increase was in line with the
increase in revenues.

General and administrative expenses increased by $4,531,000 or
32.5%, to $18,477,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999,
from $13,946,000 for the comparable period in 1998.  This increase
primarily resulted from an increase in commissions and other
expenses due to additional mortgage loan originations having been
made by the Company's mortgage subsidiary during 1999 on account of
the expansion of its business activities in new geographic markets.

Interest expense increased by $113,000, or 16.5%, to $795,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999, from $682,000 for the
comparable period in 1998.  This increase was primarily due to the
additional bank borrowings required for the acquisition of
Consolidare.

Cost of mortuaries and cemeteries goods and services sold increased
by $251,000, or 11.1%, to $2,515,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, from $2,264,000 for the comparable period in
1998.  This increase was primarily related to an increase in pre-
need and at-need sales.

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

<PAGE>

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 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 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 subsidiaries.  Bonds owned by the life insurance
subsidiaries amounted to $65,174,000 as of September 30, 1999,
compared to $73,660,000 as of December 31, 1998. This represents
60.3% and 60.3% of the total insurance-related investments as of
September 30, 1999, and December 31, 1998, 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, 1999, .4% ($460,000) and at December 31, 1998, .4%
($460,000) of the Company's total investment in bonds were invested
in bonds in rating categories three through six, which are
considered non-investment grade.

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, 1999, and December 31, 1998, the
life insurance subsidiary exceeded the regulatory criteria.

The Company's total capitalization of stockholders' equity and bank
debt and notes payable was $36,394,000 as of September 30, 1999, as
compared to $41,990,000 as of December 31, 1998.  Stockholders'
equity as a percent of capitalization increased to 73% as of
September 30, 1999, from 64% as of December 31, 1998.

Lapse rates measure the amount of insurance terminated during a
particular period.  The Company's lapse rate for life insurance in
1998 was 6.0% as compared to a rate of 11.7% for 1998.  The 1999
lapse rate is approximately the same as 1998.

<PAGE>

At September 30, 1999, $20,883,000 of the Company's consolidated
stockholders' equity represents the statutory stockholders' equity
of the Company's life insurance subsidiaries.  The life insurance
subsidiary cannot pay a dividend to its parent company without the
approval of insurance regulatory authorities.

Year 2000 Issues

The Company is aware of the issues associated with the programming
code in existing computer systems as the millennium (Year 2000)
approaches.  The Year 2000 problem is pervasive and complex as
virtually every computer operation will be affected in some way by
the rollover of the two digit year value to 00.  The issue is whether
computer systems will properly recognize date sensitive information
when the year changes to 2000.  Systems that do not properly
recognize such information could generate erroneous data or cause a
system to fail.

The Company's insurance operations have two different administrative
systems for its insurance operations.  The system used for Security
National Life Insurance Company was converted to a Year 2000
compliant version in the fourth quarter of 1998.  The Company
expended approximately $52,000 for the conversion to this latest
version.  As part of the acquisition of Southern Security Life
Insurance Company ("Southern Security"), the Company purchased a new
system which is Year 2000 compliant.  The Company successfully
converted Southern Security's existing system to the new system on
January 1, 1999.  The Company paid approximately $1.0 million for
this new system in 1998.

The Company's mortgage subsidiary uses a Year 2000 compliant system.
The Company's mortuary and cemetery operations converted to the
latest version for Year 2000 software during March 1999.  The
Company's general accounting and payroll systems were converted to
Year 2000 versions during March 1999.  The cost for these conversions
were not significant to consolidated net income.

The anticipated future costs of addressing potential Year 2000
problems are not currently expected to have a material adverse impact
on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash
flows in future periods.  However, if the Company, its customers or
vendors are unable to resolve such processing issues in a timely
manner, it could result in a material financial risk.  Management
believes that manual policy and claims administration could be
performed in the unlikely event that one or more of its systems did
not function.

The Company has tested each personal computer being used for Year
2000 compliance and has installed or replaced the necessary software
to meet compliance.  The Company is monitoring the progress of third
party vendors which the Company relies upon, such as software
suppliers, telephone equipment and communication suppliers,
electricity suppliers, natural gas suppliers, banks, brokers, U.S.
Postal Service and express mail services.  The Company is not aware
of any of its suppliers that will not be Year 2000 compliant and will
continue to monitor and make the necessary contingency plans where
needed.  The Company is aware of the risks associated with any of its
internal systems or those of its suppliers that are not Year 2000
compliant.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure of Market Risk

There have been no significant changes since the annual report Form
10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 1998.

                Part II  Other Information:

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

          The Company has been named as a party in connection with
          pending litigation brought by Garry Eckard & Co., Inc.
          ("Eckard") in the Federal District Court for the Southern
          District of Indiana.  The complaint was filed on October
          14, 1996 and alleges breach of contract and civil
          conversion pertaining to a finder's fee and seeks an
          unspecified amount of damages plus costs and attorneys'
          fees.  In a prior letter to the Company from Eckard, it
          appears that the amount of the fee being sought is
          $152,000 (excluding interest and attorney's fees).  The
          complaint, pursuant to the civil conversion claim, seeks
          treble damages under Indiana's civil conversion statute.

          The complaint was initially filed in the Indiana Hamilton
          County Superior Court, but was subsequently removed by the
          Company to the Federal District Court for the Southern
          District of Indiana.  The Company filed a motion to
          dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction and Eckard filed
          a motion to amend its complaint and to add Security
          National Life Insurance Company, a subsidiary of the
          Company, as a party defendant.  On March 18, 1997, the
          Company's motion was granted to dismiss the complaint
          against the Company for lack of personal jurisdiction and
          Eckard's motion was granted to amend the complaint by
          adding Security National Life Insurance Company as a party
          defendant.  The Company's motion to dismiss the complaint
          against the Company was granted without prejudice, which
          allows the complaint to be refiled in an appropriate
          jurisdiction.

          Security National Life Insurance Company also filed a
          motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction.  On
          October 10, 1997, this motion to dismiss the complaint for
          lack of personal jurisdiction was granted thereby also
          dismissing the case against Security National Life
          Insurance Company.  Thus, the case in Indiana was
          dismissed without prejudice against both the Company and
          Security National Life Insurance Company for lack of
          personal jurisdiction.

          On March 13, 1998, a letter was sent by Eckard's counsel
          relative to a settlement proposal together with a draft
          complaint against the Company and Security National Life
          Insurance Company for filing in the United States District
          Court for the District of Utah.  There was no material
          difference  between  the  complaint  prepared for filing
          in Utah and the amended complaint which had been filed in
          Indiana.  The complaint was filed in Utah on August 13,
          1998. Since its filing (the claims being the same as in
          the Indiana action), the treble damage claim (conversion)
          has been dismissed with prejudice.  The contract claim is
          the remaining claim.  Eckard claims a fee of $151,000 plus
          interest through July 31, 1999 of $168,729 (and claims
          interest continues to accrue), plus attorney's fees.  The
          formal discovery period has ended.  Eckard and the Company
          have both filed motions for summary judgment which have
          been argued and are pending decisions by the court.
          Although no prediction of outcome is given, management
          intends to vigorously defend the action.

          The Company has been named as a party in a lawsuit brought
          by Robert L. Anderson ("Anderson") in the Superior Court
          of San Diego, North County Judicial District, State of
          California.  The complaint was filed on January 28, 1999

<PAGE>

          and pertains to the creation of the San Diego Memorial
          Park Partnership and the development of Singing Hills
          Memorial Park Cemetery.  Anderson was denominated as a
          partner in the 1989 partnership agreement.  He asserts
          that the Company did not carry out the partnership
          agreement in developing the property as a cemetery and
          residential lots and that instead the property was later
          acquired by California Memorial Estates, Inc., a
          subsidiary of the Company, and developed.  Anderson
          asserts a claim for lost profits because of alleged breach
          of the partnership agreement and further asserts breach
          of fiduciary duty, actual fraud, constructive fraud, asks
          for an accounting, and alleges conspiracy and declaratory
          relief.  He seeks punitive damages, legal fees and costs.
          Formal discovery is in process.  At this juncture, with
          discovery in process, no complete evaluation has been
          made.  Management, however, intends to vigorously defend
          the matter and believes that Anderson did not perform as
          required and that he has no bona fide basis to complain.

          The Company is not a party to any other legal proceedings
          outside the ordinary course of the Company's business or
          to any other legal proceedings which, adversely
          determined, would have a material adverse effect on the
          Company or its business.
