Now when Sanballat and Tobiah and Geshem the Arab and the rest of our enemies heard that I had built the wall and that there was no breach left in it, Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, ‘Come and let us meet together at Hakkephirim in the plain of Ono.’ But they intended to do me harm. And I sent messengers to them, saying, ‘I am doing a great work and I cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to you?’ And they sent to me four times in this way, and I answered them in the same manner.

Executive Overview

Directors Investment Group, Inc. (DIG), a Nevada corporation, is the parent company for a diverse group of companies with a focus on two strategic industries – life insurance and financial services. The combined financial statements of Directors Investment Group, Inc. include all accounts of DIG and its subsidiaries (the Company) accounted for on a Generally Accepted Accounting Principles basis with the exception of the insurance subsidiaries that are accounted for on a Statutory Accounting Principles basis. As of December 31, 2021, the subsidiaries of DIG include Directors Capital Ventures, Inc. (DCVI), Directors Holding Corporation (DHC), Parkway Advisors Group, Inc. (PAGI), Parkway Advisors Holdings, Inc. (PAHI), and Funeral Agency, Inc. (FAI). Additionally, the limited partnerships owned by the subsidiaries are included in the combined statement. The limited partnerships are Parkway Advisors LP (PALP) and Directors Agency LP (DALP). Two affiliates – Directors Air Corporation (DAC) and Directors Real Estate Management, LP (DREMLP) – were dissolved at the end of 2021. Effective January 1, 2020, Passare, Inc. was merged into DIG, and as a legal entity, ceased to exist. Passare operations continue to be reported separately but as a division of DIG. The insurance company subsidiaries include Funeral Directors Life Insurance Company (FDLIC), Kentucky Funeral Directors Life Insurance Company (KFDLIC), and Funeral Directors Life of Louisiana (FDLA). The value of the insurance company subsidiaries is recorded on the books of the Company at book value in accordance with the methods set forth by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). The sections that follow provide information about the important aspects of our operations and investments, both at the combined and subsidiary levels, and includes discussion of our results of operations. The accounting periods for all of the entities end on December 31.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing net income by the average number of common shares issued and outstanding for the current and previous years. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the average number of common shares issued and outstanding plus stock options issued and outstanding for the current and previous years. For the purpose of these calculations, shares issued and outstanding do not include treasury shares purchased by the Company. For 2021, the average number of common shares issued and outstanding, basic and diluted, was 2,549,253 and 2,814,901,

7

A NNUA L RE POR T 2 0 2 1

respectively. For 2020, the average number of common shares issued and outstanding, basic and diluted, was 2,532,212 and 2,742,984, respectively. The exercise of 19,412 common stock options by employees and directors and the net purchase of 1,514 treasury shares by the Company are reflected in the change in average common shares outstanding. Basic EPS was $7.57 and diluted EPS was $6.86 for 2021. For 2020, basic and diluted EPS was $3.50 and $3.23 respectively. Increased earnings in FDLIC were largely responsible for the year-over-year increase in earnings per share.

Computation of Share Value

DIG’s Share Value was $80.36 for 2021 and $72.85 for 2020, based on the modified book value calculation. This was an 10.31% increase over 2020. For 2021 and 2020, Share Value is calculated using the modified book value approach that was approved by the shareholders at the April 1996 annual shareholders’ meeting. The calculation is the 1996 book value method plus an additional amount added for the value of FDLIC’s insurance business and interest maintenance reserve (IMR). For 2021, the equity component was $177,404,169 and the value of FDLIC’s business and IMR was $28,171,013. Total actual shares issued and outstanding at the end of 2021 were 2,558,202. For 2020, the equity component was $161,180,854, and the value of FDLIC’s business and IMR was $23,883,567. Total actual shares issued and outstanding at the end of 2020 were 2,540,304.

Income Taxes

Directors Investment Group, Inc. and its non-insurance subsidiaries file a consolidated U.S. income tax return. All taxes are booked and paid at the DIG level. In 2020, the Company paid no federal income tax as all available loss carryforwards were utilized to offset taxable income. For 2021, DIG recorded $778.1 thousand in federal income tax. Additional net operating loss carryforwards of $4.4 million can be used once Passare’s net income exceeds the operating expenses of DIG. These remaining carryforwards expire in 2034. The insurance subsidiaries – FDLIC, KFDLIC, and FDLA – file a separate consolidated U.S. income tax return. The method of allocation between the companies is based upon separate return calculations with current credit for net losses. Intercompany tax balances are settled annually after the federal income tax return is completed and filed. DALP and FDLIC are also subject to filing state income tax returns for various states in which they are licensed to conduct business.


The corporate federal income tax rate for DIG and the insurance subsidiaries was 21%.

Liquidity and Cash Flows

Management has set forth strategic objectives to help ensure that we keep a focus toward growing our core business and increasing shareholder value and that we are in a position to take advantage of opportunities when they arise. Those objectives include internal investment in our business (e.g., capital expenditures), share repurchases, shareholder dividends, debt reduction and management, and acquisition of businesses that will complement our core operations. The Company believes that cash generated from operations, together with the Company’s existing financial resources, will adequately finance the Company’s planned 2022 cash requirements. SUMMARY OF CASH ACTIVITIES Principal sources of cash were commissions earned at DALP and FAI, investment advisory and consulting fees earned at PALP, subscription and activations fees earned at Passare, principal and interest payments received on business loans, and proceeds for issuance of common stock options. Our primary uses of cash were for operational expenses, reduction of debt, repurchase of stock, and payment of shareholder dividends. Net increase in cash for 2021 was $781.0 thousand. INVESTING ACTIVITIES Business loans outstanding at year-end 2021 were $2.3 million compared to $2.8 million at the end of 2020. DIG received principal payments of $469.9 thousand. Remaining loans to funeral home customers earned interest at an average rate of 8.08%. No substantial new loans were extended in 2021. DIG collected interest payments of $200.3 thousand. In 2016, DIG initiated a short-term investment strategy with Parkway Advisors as a means to earn investment income on excess cash accumulated from net operating earnings, repayment of business loans, or proceeds from the sale of treasury stock. Previously, investments were short term in nature and laddered to throw off approximately $500.0 thousand in cash at the end of each month. In mid-2021, in order to achieve a higher return, DIG revised its investment plan to invest approximately 40% in short-laddered bonds and the remainder invested with a growth and income focus. Total interest collected on investments was $69.6 thousand. At year-end 2021, total invested funds were $9.5 million.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES DIG’s combined debt was comprised of borrowings from FDLIC. These loans originated in 2007 and were used to facilitate the funding of the funeral home financing program mentioned in “Investing Activities.” The loans pay interest at the rate of 9.25% and mature in April 2022. DIG paid FDLIC $486.5 thousand in principal and $351.3 thousand in interest in 2021. At year-end 2021, outstanding borrowings on the loans from FDLIC were $3.5 million. In April 2020, several of the DIG non-insurance companies applied for and received Paycheck Protection Program loans for a total of $1.2 million. A portion of the loans were forgiven in November and December of 2020, leaving a balance of $862.7 thousand that was forgiven in the first half of 2021. During 2021, the Company offered options on 258,550 shares of common stock at a price range of $52.54 to $80.14. Options on 19,412 shares were exercised at a price range of $52.54 to $72.85, providing $1.1 million in cash resources. 23,334 shares at a price of $52.54 were not exercised and forfeited, leaving 215,804 shares exercisable in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 at a price range of $57.05 to $80.14. During the year, DIG also repurchased 23,325 shares of common stock for $1.8 million. In July 2010, the Board of Directors approved the annual sale of a limited number of treasury shares. In 2020, DIG sold 25,010 shares of treasury stock for $1.8 million, and in 2021, DIG sold 21,811 shares for $1.7 million. The Board of Directors approved the payment of quarterly dividends averaging $0.205 per share during 2021 for a total of $2.1 million. DIG paid $1.75 million in dividends in 2020. SHAREHOLDER LIST & BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP The table beginning on page 40 sets forth certain information as of March 1, 2022, with respect to each person who owns the Company’s common stock, each director of the Company, and all directors and officers of the Company as a group. Except as otherwise indicated, the persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of common stock shown. Each common share is entitled to one vote per share. The Company does have authorized preferred stock; however, none of the preferred stock was issued or outstanding as of December 31, 2021.

FUNERAL DIRECTORS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

FDLIC is the primary investment and income source for DIG. FDLIC is in the business of funding prepaid funerals with life insurance and annuities. A simplified financial statement is included herein. In 2021, FDLIC’s assets grew to $1.72 billion, up $135.5 million or 8.56% over 2020 assets of $1.58 billion. Invested assets are the largest component of assets for an insurance company. FDLIC’s investments were $1.69 billion for 2021, an increase of 9.20% over 2020 investments of $1.55 billion. The primary investment held by FDLIC was bonds - government, agency, and corporate representing 84.78% of invested assets or $1.4 billion. There was $1.0 million in preferred stocks at year-end 2021. FDLIC’s total common stock portfolio was $15.7 million, comprised of $11.8 million for investment in KFDLIC and FDLA and $3.9 million invested in the Monteagle Select Value Fund managed by PALP. Investment in real estate includes $15.7 million for the Home Office building. During 2021, FDLIC’s mortgage loan portfolio increased by $5.6 million for the financing of funeral home locations for a total of $206.0 million. Other invested assets consist of loans to parent of $3.5 million, surplus debentures of $2.2 million, and cash and short-term investments of $6.6 million. Other assets remained consistent with the previous year with the exception of a $7.5 million decrease in premiums deferred and uncollected. Effective January 1, 2021, FDLIC elected to change its method of calculating life reserves, resulting in a decrease in premiums deferred and uncollected. The impact of the election was a decrease in total assets of $7.5 million, a decrease in total liabilities of $8.1 million, with an offsetting increase to surplus of $637.1 thousand. FDLIC’s primary liability is its reserves for policyholders. For 2021, reserves were $1.5 billion, an increase of 8.45% over reserves of $1.4 billion in 2020. Asset valuation reserve (AVR) increased $2.9

million or 23.33% compared to a $608.4 thousand decrease from year-end 2019 to year-end 2020. The year-over-year increase came largely in the month of December due to the NAIC’s changes to the designations for mortgage-backed securities. The $15.3 million in this account represents a loss reserve mandated by the NAIC to offset potential defaults of any of the company’s invested assets. The interest maintenance reserve of $10.6 million decreased slightly from year-end 2020 for net realized capital gains of $300.0 thousand less amortization of $411.7 thousand. Statutory reporting requirements mandate that gains from the sale of bonds with a future maturity date must be held as a liability and amortized into income over the remaining life of disposed bonds. In April 2020, FDLIC received a $2.6 million loan from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) provided through the Small Business Administration (SBA) and established by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act. The loan was used to support our commitment of no layoffs and no reductions in pay during 2020. In June 2021, the PPP loan and any accrued interest was forgiven and recorded as a net capital gain in the summary of operations. The remaining $1.0 million in borrowed funds represents a grant from the Development Corporation of Abilene that was based upon the company’s expansion of the Home Office and its commitment to create 70 new jobs over a 5-year period. Other liabilities of FDLIC included accrued claims, policyholder dividends, premiums received in advance, amounts due to affiliates, general expenses payable, commissions to agents’ payable, premium taxes and fees, and other miscellaneous liabilities for a total of $5.4 million. Total capital and surplus increased $14.5 million for 2021 as compared to the increase of $6.5 million in 2020. The increase in 2021 consisted of net income of $14.9 million, $1.6 million increase in net deferred income tax, unrealized gains of $1.2 million, and a $637.1 thousand increase for change in reserve valuation basis, offset by a $2.9 million increase in asset valuation reserve and a

$988.2 thousand increase in non-admitted assets. The ratio of capital and surplus to total assets was 9.03% at year-end 2021 compared to 8.89% at year-end 2020. Revenues for FDLIC were primarily premium collections and investment income totaling $416.7 million. When compared to the previous year, 2021 revenues increased 28.18% or $91.6 million. New business issued for 2021 was approximately 45.3% higher than 2020 production, coming in at $374.0 million. Net investment income reflects a $1.2 million decrease due entirely to a $3.4 million decrease in prepayment income from calls and tenders. Income from bond investments actually increased by $2.2 million despite the continued low interest rate environment. Policyholder benefits increased significantly due to the increase in new business sales. Death and annuity benefits paid during the year exceeded 2020 by $67.8 million and were $34.5 million above expected. Monthly claims expense averaged $16.3 million in 2021 compared to $16.8 million in 2020. With the year-over-year increase in new business sales, aggregate reserves from year to year were up $74.3 million or 143.13%. General insurance expenses exceeded 2020 by $22.6 million and included commissions paid to agents of $43.7 million, general operating expenses of $30.3 million, and taxes licenses and fees of $4.2 million.

Net gain from operations was $15.5 million compared to $14.2 million for 2020. Policyholder dividends were consistent between years. Federal income taxes incurred were $4.0 million compared to $3.2 million in 2020 due to increased taxable income. FDLIC realized net capital gains of $4.7 million compared to capital losses of $4.4 million in 2020. For 2021, the company posted net income of $14.9 million compared to $5.1 million 2020.

In December 2020, the aircraft was sold, and the vast majority of DAC’s assets were distributed to DIG. With no viable purpose to continue its existence, DAC was dissolved effective December 21, 2021.

A DIVISION OF DIG Originally a Delaware corporation created on November 26, 2012, Passare was merged into DIG, effective January 1, 2020. Passare is a software-as-a-service company providing an online administrative platform specifically designed for funeral homes. DIG initially invested in Passare in 2013 and also provided an operating line of credit to sustain Passare’s operations. In April of 2015, DIG negotiated an exchange of all outstanding debt with Passare in return for additional shares of stock, resulting in majority ownership. In 2019, DIG gained 100% ownership in Passare after an exchange of cash or stock for remaining minority interests in Passare. Gaining 100% control of Passare paved the way to substantial expense reduction and sharing of resources between Passare and other DIG affiliates as reflected in the 2021 financial results. While Passare’s assets and liabilities were combined with DIG’s due to the merger, the operations of Passare are monitored and recorded as a separate division within DIG.

During 2021, Passare increased revenues by 40.23%, ending the year with approximately 851 customers, representing a year-end base of 183,000 subscription calls. Passare continued to improve features to the software in line with the company’s vision to “make Passare the system through which a funeral home can run its entire business.” Passare also expanded on its consulting services, such as premium support and client services. Revenues were $3.3 million compared to $2.4 million in 2020. Total expenses in 2021 were $3.6 million compared to $3.2 million in 2020 – a $348.0 thousand increase. The increase in expenses was due largely to an increase in contract labor expense. Labor-related expenses account for approximately 89% of total operating expenses with the majority of those expenses dedicated to further development of the software. Operating losses decreased by $602.1 thousand from 2020. Net income was $12.4 thousand after reporting $288.2 thousand in gain from forgiveness of the PPP loan received in April 2020.
