Fixed Maturity Securities

 

On December 31, 2019, the Company changed the classification of its bond and preferred stock investments from held to maturity to available for sale based on the Company’s need to be able to respond proactively to market risks in managing its portfolio. Such investments are carried at fair value with any unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of other accumulated comprehensive income or loss. At the date of the transfer, the carrying value of the Company’s held to maturity securities was $338,629,810, and net unrealized gains of $17,315,770 were recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income.

 

The following tables summarize unrealized losses on fixed maturities securities that were carried at estimated fair value at December 31, 2019 and carried at amortized cost at December 31, 2018. The unrealized losses were primarily related to interest rate fluctuations. The tables set forth unrealized losses by duration with the fair value of the related fixed maturity securities:

There were 93 securities with fair value of 98.9% of amortized cost at December 31, 2019. There were 361 securities with fair value of 96.2% of amortized cost at December 31, 2018. No credit losses have been recognized for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates its fixed maturity securities classified as available for sale or held to maturity. This evaluation includes a review of current ratings by the National Association of Insurance Commissions (“NAIC”). Securities with a rating of 1 or 2 are considered investment grade and are not reviewed for impairment. Securities with ratings of 3 to 5 are evaluated for impairment. Securities with a rating of 6 are automatically determined to be impaired and are written down. The evaluation involves an analysis of the securities in relation to historical values, interest payment history, projected earnings and revenue growth rates as well as a review of the reason for a downgrade in the NAIC rating. Based on the analysis of a security that is rated 3 to 5, a determination is made whether the security will likely make interest and principal payments in accordance with the terms of the financial instrument. If it is unlikely that the security will meet contractual obligations, the loss is considered to be other than temporary, the security is written down to the new anticipated market value and an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses are treated as credit losses as the Company holds fixed maturity securities to maturity unless the underlying conditions have changed in the financial instrument to require an impairment. 

 

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 amortized cost and estimated fair value of fixed maturity securities at December 31, 2019, 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 Held for Investment and Held for Sale

 

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 segments in the form of acquisition, development and mortgage foreclosures. The Company reports real estate held for investment and held for sale pursuant to the accounting policy discussed in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Commercial Real Estate Held for Investment and Held for Sale

 

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 assets that provide operational efficiencies.

 

The Company currently owns and operates 16 commercial properties in 5 states. These properties include industrial warehouses, office buildings, retail centers, and includes the redevelopment and expansion of its corporate campus (“Center53”) in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Company also holds undeveloped land that may be used for future commercial developments. The Company does use debt in strategic cases to leverage established yields or to acquire a higher quality or different class of asset. See Note 20 regarding commercial real estate held for investment in Louisiana acquired with the acquisition of Kilpatrick Life Insurance Company.

 

The aggregated net ending balance of commercial real estate that serves as collateral for bank borrowings was approximately $87,815,000 and $84,880,000 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The associated bank loan carrying values totaled approximately $54,917,000 and $52,237,000 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded impairment losses on commercial real estate held for investment of $2,768,979 and $-0-, respectively. The impairment loss of $2,768,979 recognized relates to an office building in Kansas held by the life insurance segment for which the Company received an unsolicited bid from a potential buyer that was significantly below the building’s carrying value. Although management did not consider the offer as representative of fair value, the Company evaluated the unsolicited bid as a potential impairment indicator. The Company performed an impairment analysis internally and obtained an independent appraisal from an outside commercial real estate valuation firm, concluding that the fair value of the building was less than its carrying value. This office building was recently listed for sale and is included in commercial real estate held for sale. This impairment loss is included in gains (losses) on investments and other assets on the consolidated statements of earnings.

Residential Real Estate Held for Investment and Held for Sale

 

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. As an orderly and active market for these homes returns, the Company has the option to dispose or to continue and hold them for cash flow and acceptable returns. The Company also invests in residential subdivision developments.

 

The Company established Security National Real Estate Services (“SNRE”) 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, 2019, SNRE manages 38 residential properties in 6 states across the United States.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded impairment losses on residential real estate held for investment of $700,134 and $486,457, respectively. These impairment losses are included in gains (losses) on investments and other assets on the consolidated statements of earnings.

 

The net ending balance of foreclosed residential real estate included in residential real estate held for investment is approximately $12,434,000 and $23,532,000 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Mortgage Loans Held for Investment

 

The Company reports mortgage loans held for investment pursuant to the accounting policy discussed in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

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 nine 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, 2019, the Company had 48%, 16%, 10%, 6%, 6% and 5% of its mortgage loans from borrowers located in the states of Utah, Florida, Texas, California, Nevada and Arizona, 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:

Non-Accrual Mortgage Loans Held for Investment

 

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. Payments received for loans on a non-accrual status are recognized on a cash basis. Interest income recognized from any payments received for loans on a non-accrual status was immaterial. Accrual of interest resumes if a loan is brought current.  Interest not accrued on these loans totals approximately $203,000 and $151,000 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

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