The average market value of the related fixed maturities was 87.2% and 90.8% of amortized cost as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. During 2015, 2014 and 2013, an other than temporary decline in market value resulted in the recognition of credit losses on fixed maturity securities of $120,000, $120,000 and $120,000, respectively.

 

On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews its available for sale and held to maturity fixed investment securities related to corporate securities and other public utilities, consisting of bonds and preferred stocks that are in a loss position. The review involves an analysis of the securities in relation to historical values, and projected earnings and revenue growth rates. Based on the analysis, a determination is made whether a security will likely recover from the loss position within a reasonable period of time. If it is unlikely that the investment will recover from the loss position, the loss is considered to be other-than-temporary, the security is written down to the impaired value and an impairment loss is recognized.

 

Equity Securities

 

The following tables summarize unrealized losses on equity securities that were carried at estimated fair value based on quoted trading prices at December 31, 2015 and 2014. The unrealized losses were primarily the result of decreases in market value due to overall equity market declines. The tables set forth unrealized losses by duration and number of investment positions, together with the fair value of the related equity securities available for sale in a loss position:

The average market value of the equity securities available for sale was 74.7% and 77.6% of the original investment as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The intent of the Company is to retain equity securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for the recovery in fair value. However, the Company may sell equity securities during a period in which the fair value has declined below the amount of the original investment. In certain situations, new factors, including changes in the business environment, can change the Company’s previous intent to continue holding a security. During 2015, 2014, and 2013, an other than temporary decline in the market value resulted in the recognition of an impairment loss on equity securities of $293,714, $44,240, and $100,304, respectively.

 

On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews its investment in industrial, miscellaneous and all other equity securities that are in a loss position. The review involves an analysis of the securities in relation to historical values, price earnings ratios, projected earnings and revenue growth rates. Based on the analysis a determination is made whether a security will likely recover from the loss position within a reasonable period of time. If it is unlikely that the investment will recover from the loss position, the loss is considered to be other than temporary, the security is written down to the impaired value and an impairment loss is recognized.

 

The fair values of fixed maturity securities are based on quoted market prices, when available. For fixed maturity securities not actively traded, fair values are estimated using values obtained from independent pricing services, or in the case of private placements, are estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using a current market value applicable to the coupon rate, credit and maturity of the investments. The fair values for equity securities are based on quoted market prices.

 

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of fixed maturity securities at December 31, 2015, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because certain borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Real Estate

 

The Company continues to strategically deploy resources into real estate to match the income and yield durations of its primary obligations. The sources for these real estate assets come through its various business units in the form of acquisition, development and lending foreclosures. The Company reports real estate held for investment pursuant to the accounting policy discussed in Note 1 and Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Commercial Real Estate Held for Investment

 

The Company owns and manages commercial real estate assets as a means of generating investment income. These assets are acquired in accordance with the Company’s goals and objectives for risk-adjusted returns. Due diligence is conducted on each asset using internal and third party reports. Geographic locations and asset classes of the investment activity is determined by senior management under the direction of the Board of Directors.

 

The Company employs full-time employees to attend to the day-to-day operations of those assets within the greater Salt Lake area and close surrounding markets.  The Company utilizes third party property managers when the geographic boundary does not warrant full-time staff or through strategic lease-up periods. The Company generally looks to acquire assets in regions that are high growth regions for employment and population and in assets that provide operational efficiencies.

 

The Company currently owns and operates 9 commercial properties in 5 states. These properties include industrial warehouses, office building and retail centers. The assets are primarily held without debt; however, the Company does use debt in strategic cases to leverage established yields or to acquire higher quality, or class, of asset.

Residential Real Estate Held for Investment

 

The Company owns a portfolio of residential homes primarily as a result of loan foreclosures.  The strategy has been to lease these homes to produce cash flow, and allow time for the economic fundamentals to return to the various markets. Once the market for these homes return, the Company engages in the disposition of these assets at prices above the book value or at a discount far less than what would have been realized at the time of foreclosure.

 

The Company established Security National Real Estate Services (“SNRE”) in 2013 to manage the residential portfolio. SNRE cultivates and maintains the preferred vendor relationships necessary to manage costs and quality of work performed on the portfolio of homes across the country.

 

As of December 31, 2015, SNRE manages 142 residential properties in 11 states across the United States which includes a newly constructed apartment complex, Dry Creek at East Village, in Sandy Utah.

Mortgage Loans

 

Mortgage loans consist of first and second mortgages. The mortgage loans bear interest at rates ranging from 2.0 % to 10.5%, maturity dates range from three months to 30 years and are secured by real estate. Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of mortgage loan debtors have similar economic characteristics that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. Although the Company has a diversified mortgage loan portfolio consisting of residential mortgages, commercial loans and residential construction loans and requires collateral on all real estate exposures, a substantial portion of its debtors’ ability to honor obligations is reliant on the economic stability of the geographic region in which the debtors do business. At December 31, 2015, the Company has 51%, 14%, 10% and 8% of its mortgage loans from borrowers located in the states of Utah, California, Texas and Florida, respectively. The mortgage loans on real estate balances on the consolidated balance sheet are reflected net of an allowance for loan losses of $1,848,120 and $2,003,055 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

The Company establishes a valuation allowance for credit losses in its portfolio. The following is a summary of the allowance for loan losses as a contra-asset account for the periods presented:

Credit Risk Profile Based on Performance Status

 

The Company’s mortgage loan portfolio is monitored based on performance of the loans. Monitoring a mortgage loan increases when the loan is delinquent or earlier if there is an indication of impairment. The Company defines non-performing mortgage loans as loans 90 days or greater delinquent or on non-accrual status.

 

The Company’s performing and non-performing mortgage loans were as follows:

Non-Accrual Mortgage Loans

Once a loan is past due 90 days, it is the policy of the Company to end the accrual of interest income on the loan and write off any income that had been accrued. Interest not accrued on these loans totals $268,000 and $535,000 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

The following is a summary of mortgage loans on a non-accrual status for the periods presented.

Loan Loss Reserve

 

When a repurchase demand is received from a third party investor, the relevant data is reviewed and captured so that an estimated future loss can be calculated. The key factors that are used in the estimated loss calculation are as follows: (i) lien position, (ii) payment status, (iii) claim type, (iv) unpaid principal balance, (v) interest rate, and (vi) validity of the demand. Other data is captured and is useful for management purposes; the actual estimated loss is generally based on these key factors. The Company conducts its own review upon the receipt of a repurchase demand. In many instances, the Company is able to resolve the issues relating to the repurchase demand by the third party investor without having to make any payments to the investor.

 

The following is a summary of the loan loss reserve which is included in other liabilities and accrued expenses:

 $          2,805,900

 $          1,718,150

 

The Company believes the loan loss reserve represents probable loan losses incurred as of the balance sheet date. Actual loan loss experience could change, in the near-term, from the established reserve based upon claims that could be asserted by third party investors. SecurityNational Mortgage believes there is potential to resolve any alleged claims by third party investors on acceptable terms. If SecurityNational Mortgage is unable to resolve such claims on acceptable terms, legal action may ensue. In the event of legal action by any third party investor, SecurityNational Mortgage believes it has significant defenses to any such action and intends to vigorously defend itself against such action.
