ITEM 1.01. Entry into Stock Purchase Agreement to Acquire Capital Reserve Life
           Insurance Company.

     On October 9, 2007,  Security National Financial  Corporation,  through its
wholly owned subsidiary,  Security National Life Insurance Company, entered into
a stock purchase agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") with Capital Reserve
Life  Insurance  Company,  a  Missouri  domiciled  insurance  company  ("Capital
Reserve"),  and its  shareholders to purchase all of the  outstanding  shares of
common stock of Capital  Reserve from its  shareholders.  Under the terms of the
transaction,  Security  National  Life  Insurance  Company  agrees to pay to the
shareholders of Capital Reserve purchase  consideration equal to the capital and
surplus of Capital Reserve as of September 30, 2007 in the amount of $1,274,000,
plus the  interest  maintenance  reserve in the amount of $31,000  and the asset
valuation  reserve in the amount of  $209,000 as of  September  30,  2007,  plus
$1,037,967,  less certain  adjustments.  The  adjustments  consist of any losses
related to two litigation  matters  involving Capital Reserve and the difference
in the amount of Capital  Reserve's  capital and surplus at closing  compared to
the amount of its capital and surplus on September 30, 2007.

     As of December 31, 2006,  Capital  Reserve had 10,851 policies in force and
approximately 30 agents.  For the year ended December 31, 2006,  Capital Reserve
had revenues of $5,663,000 and a net loss of $244,000.  As of December 31, 2006,
the  statutory  assets and the  capital  and  surplus of  Capital  Reserve  were
$24,084,000 and $1,960,000, respectively.

     Security  National  Life  Insurance  Company  anticipates   completing  the
transaction  on or before  November 30, 2007, or within seven days from the date
the required  regulatory  approvals are obtained.  The  obligations  of Security
National Life Insurance  Company and Capital Reserve to complete the transaction
are contingent upon satisfaction of the following conditions:

     A complete and  satisfactory  review by Security  National  Life  Insurance
Company of the books, records and business of Capital Reserve;

     Approval  and  adoption  of the Stock  Purchase  Agreement  by the Board of
Directors of Security National Life Insurance Company and Capital Reserve; and

     Approval  of  the   transaction  by  any  regulatory   authorities   having
jurisdiction  over Security National Life Insurance Company and Capital Reserve,
including the insurance departments of the states of Missouri and Utah.

     At the closing of the transaction, Security National Life Insurance Company
and Capital Reserve intend to enter into a reinsurance agreement to reinsure the
majority  of the in force  business of Capital  Reserve,  as  reinsurer,  to the
extent permitted by the Missouri Department of Insurance. Under the terms of the
reinsurance  agreement,  Security  National Life  Insurance  Company would pay a
ceding  commission to Capital Reserve in the amount of $1,738,000.  In addition,
following  the  payment of the ceding  commission,  Capital  Reserve  intends to
declare a dividend to Security  National Life Insurance Company in the amount of
$1,738,000.  The reinsurance  agreement and the dividend  payment are subject to
approval by the Missouri  Department of Insurance.  Capital  Reserve  intends to
submit a Form D to the Missouri  Department of Insurance in connection  with its
request for approval of the dividend payment.

     As a result of the reinsurance  agreement,  certain insurance  business and
operations of Capital  Reserve would be  transferred  to Security  National Life
Insurance  Company,  including  all policies in force as of the  effective  date
thereof.  Any  future  business  by  Capital  Reserve  would be  covered by this
reinsurance  agreement.  Thus,  except for capital  and  surplus of  $1,253,000,
$23,569,000 in assets and liabilities  would be transferred from Capital Reserve
to  Security  National  Life  Insurance  Company  pursuant  to  the  reinsurance
agreement.  Following  the  closing of the  transaction,  Capital  Reserve  will
continue to sell and service  life  insurance,  annuity  products,  accident and
health insurance, and funeral plan insurance.
