Salaries increased by $391,000 from $6,638,000 in 2008 to $7,029 000 in 2009, primarily due to merit increases in salaries of existing employees. Other expenses increased by $1,043,000 from $7,911,000 in 2008 to $8,954,000 in 2009 due to increased processing fees, loan costs, and foreclosure expenses. Provision for loan losses increased by $1,232,000 from $2,258,000 in 2008 to $3,490,000 in 2009 due primarily to increased loan loss reserve and loan allowance balances at SecurityNational Mortgage Company. Commission expenses decreased by $6,893,000, from $24,595,000 in the third quarter of 2008 to $17,702,000 in the third quarter of 2009, due to a reduction in mortgage loan origination costs made by SecurityNational Mortgage, a decrease in sales at the cemetery operations, and a decrease in life insurance renewal commissions during the third quarter of 2009.

This decrease was partially offset by an increase in salaries of $1,103,000 from $19,553,000 in 2008 to $20,656,000 in 2009, primarily due to merit increases in salaries of existing employees. Other expenses increased by $3,385,000 from $24,161,000 in 2008 to $27,546,000 in 2009 due to increased processing fees, loan costs and foreclosure expenses.
