                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.   Basis of Preparation
     --------------------
     The accompanying  unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared
     in  accordance  with  instructions  for Form 10-QSB and  therefore,  do not
     include  all  disclosures  necessary  for a  complete  presentation  of the
     consolidated   balance   sheets,   consolidated   statements   of   income,
     consolidated   statements  of   stockholders'   equity,   and  consolidated
     statements of cash flows in conformity with generally  accepted  accounting
     principles.   However,  all  adjustments  which  are,  in  the  opinion  of
     management,  necessary for the fair  presentation of the interim  financial
     statements  have  been  included.  All  such  adjustments  are of a  normal
     recurring nature.  The statement of income for the three month period ended
     March 31, 1999 is not  necessarily  indicative  of the results which may be
     expected for the entire year.

     It is suggested  that these  consolidated  financial  statements be read in
     conjunction with the audited  consolidated  financial  statements and notes
     thereto  for the  Company  for the year ended  December  31, 1998 which are
     included in the Form 10-KSB by reference (file no. 0-22587).

2.   Earnings Per Share
     ------------------
     Basic  earnings per common  share for all periods  presented is computed by
     dividing  net  income  by the  weighted  average  number  of  common  share
     outstanding.  Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net
     income  available to common  stockholders by the weighted average number of
     common shares  outstanding  and dilutive  potential  common  shares,  which
     include stock  options.  Dilutive  potential  common shares are  calculated
     using the treasury stock method.  Options to purchase  73,630 shares of the
     Company's common stock were outstanding during the March 1999 quarter,  but
     were not included in the  computation  of diluted EPS because  their effect
     would be anti-dilutive.

Item 2.
         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

The  Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform Act to 1995  contains  safe  harbor
provisions regarding forward-looking  statements.  When used in this discussion,
the words  "believes",  "anticipates",  "contemplates"  "expects",  and  similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements
are subject to certain risks and uncertainties  which could cause actual results
to differ materially from those projected. Those risks and uncertainties include
changes in  interest  rates,  risk  associated  with the effect of opening a new
branch,  the  ability  to  control  costs and  expenses,  and  general  economic
conditions. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results
of any  revisions  to those  forward  looking  statements  which  may be made to
reflect  events  or  circumstances  after  the date  hereof  or to  reflect  the
occurrence of unanticipated events.

The following discussion and analysis is intended to assist in understanding the
financial condition and the results of operations of the Company.  References to
the  "Company"  include  SFB  Bancorp,  Inc.  and/or  Security  Federal  Bank as
appropriate.

Comparison  of Results of  Operations  for the Three Months Ended March 31, 1998
and 1999

Net Income.  Net income  decreased  $18,000 or 11.3% for the three  months ended
March 31, 1999 to  $142,000,  compared to $160,000  for the three  months  ended
March 31,  1998.  The decrease  was  primarily  the result of an decrease in net
interest income of $17,000. The return on average equity was 4.42% for the three
months ended March 31, 1999,  compared to 4.81% for the three months ended March
31,  1998.  The return on average  assets was 1.07% for the three  months  ended
March 31, 1999, compared to 1.21% for the three months ended March 31, 1998.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased approximately $17,000 or 3.4%
from  $506,000  for the three  months  ended March 31, 1998 to $489,000  for the
three months ended March 31, 1999. The decrease in net interest income primarily
reflects  a  decrease  in  average   interest-earning  assets  of  approximately
$465,000,   combined  with  an  approximately   $891,000   increase  in  average
interest-bearing  liabilities. The interest rate spread, however, increased from
2.85% for three  months  ending  March  31,  1998 to 2.91% for the three  months
ending March 31, 1999,  while the net interest margin  decreased 10 basis points
to 3.83% for the three months ended March 31, 1999.

Interest Income.  Total interest income decreased  $32,000 from $987,000 for the
three  months  ended March 31, 1998 to $955,000 for the three months ended March
31,   1999.   The   decrease   was   attributable   to  a  decrease  in  average
interest-earning  assets of  approximately  $465,000 from $51.5 million at March
31, 1998 to $51.0  million at March 31, 1999,  and a 18 basis point  decrease in
the  average  yield  on  average  interest-earning  assets.  Interest  on  loans
decreased $14,000 and interest on  interest-earning  deposits decreased $16,000,
while interest on  investments  increased  $24,000.  

                                       9
<PAGE>

The  increase  in  interest  on  investments  primarily  reflects an increase of
approximately $2.0 in the average investment balance for 1999, compared to 1998.
Average  interest-earning  deposits  decreased  $600,000  as funds  were used to
purchase investment securities. Interest on mortgage-backed securities decreased
$26,000  as the  portfolio  continues  to  mature  and  principal  payments  are
received. The Company has utilized the principal payment to fund loan demand, to
purchase investment securities and to fund deposit withdrawals.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $15,000 from $481,000 for the three
months  ended March 31, 1998 to $466,000  for the three  months  ended March 31,
1999.  The decrease for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was  primarily the
result of a decrease of 24 basis points in the average cost of funds,  offset by
an  increase  of  approximately  $891,000  in the  average  balance of  deposits
outstanding  for the three month period in 1999,  compared to the same period in
1998.

Provision for Loan Losses.  The provision for loan losses for three month period
ended March 31, 1999 was $9,000 and $8,000 for the period  ended March 31, 1998.
Management  regularly performs an analysis to quantify the inherent risk of loss
in its portfolio. At March 31, 1999 the ratio of the allowance for loan loss was
at a level  deemed  adequate  by  management  to provide  for losses in the loan
portfolio. The ratio of allowance for loan loss to non-performing loans at March
31,  1999  was .98%  and  nonperforming  loans  represented  only  .65% of total
consolidated assets.

Non-Interest  Income.  Non-interest  income remains an  insignificant  source of
income for the  Company.  The income is produced by fees on new loan  production
and service fees on other products and services.  Total non-interest  income was
$45,000 for the three months  ended March 31, 1999,  compared to $40,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1998.

Non-Interest   Expense.   Non-interest   expense   increased   by  $13,000  from
approximately  $284,000  for the three  month  period  ended  March 31,  1998 to
approximately  $297,000  for the three month  period in 1999.  The  increase was
primarily the result of increased  compensation  expense of $23,000,  a combined
$9,000  increase in net  occupancy  and data  processing  expenses,  offset by a
$19,000 reduction in other expenses incurred during the period.  The increase in
compensation  expense for the three months ended March 31, 1999,  was  primarily
attributable  to the recognition of $34,000 in additional  compensation  expense
associated  with the  stockholder  approved  Restricted  Stock  Plan  (RSP).  No
compensation  expense was recognized in the first quarter of 1998,  since it was
prior to the plan approval, which occurred on June 1, 1998. The increase in data
processing  expense was mainly  attributable  to increased costs of ATM service.
The  decrease  in  other  non-interest   expense  was  mainly   attributable  to
management's  attempt to control general  operating  expenses and those expenses
associated with being a public company.

As previously  discussed,  the Bank plans to open an additional branch office in
nearby  Mountain  City,  Tennessee,  during the first half of 1999.  The Company
expects that  non-interest  expense will  increase  during 1999 due to the costs
associated with opening and maintaining  this  additional  branch office.  It is
anticipated  that  ultimately the new branch will produce  sufficient  income to
cover these additional operating expense. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources".

Income  Taxes.  Income tax expense for the three  months  ended March 31,  1999,
decreased  $8,000 to $86,000,  compared to the same period in 1998. The decrease
was primarily the result of lower pre-tax income. The effective tax rate for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, was approximately 37%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.  The Company's primary sources of funds are new
deposits, proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans, and repayments
on mortgage-backed  securities.  While maturities and scheduled  amortization of
loans are a predictable source of funds,  deposit flows and mortgage prepayments
are greatly  influenced  by general  interest  rates,  economic  conditions  and
competition. The Company's primary investing activity is loan originations.  The
Company maintains liquidity levels adequate to fund loan commitments, investment
opportunities, deposit withdrawals and other financial commitments. At March 31,
1999 there were no material commitments for capital expenditures. Obligations to
fund outstanding loan commitments at March 31, 1999 were approximately $263,000.

The Bank  purchased  for $135,000  land and an existing  building for the branch
office which is to be located in nearby  Mountain  City,  Tennessee.  Management
estimates  that costs  incidental to renovating and equipping the building to be
approximately  $200,000.  As  of  March  31,  1999,  the  Bank  had  capitalized
approximately  $168,000  of the  estimated  $200,000  of costs  associated  with
equipping this branch facility.  As of March 31, 1999, the branch had not opened
for business.

At  March  31,  1999  management  had no  knowledge  of any  trends,  events  or
uncertainties  that will have or are reasonably  likely to have material effects
on the  liquidity,  capital  resources or operations of the Company.  Further at
March 31, 1999,  management was not aware of any current  recommendations by the
regulatory authorities which, if implemented, would have such an effect.

The Bank exceeded all of its capital  requirements  at March 31, 1999.  The Bank
had the following capital ratios at March 31, 1999:

Year 2000 Compliance.  A great deal of information has been  disseminated  about
the Year 2000 as it relates to computer systems. Many computer programs that can
only distinguish the final two digits of the year entered (a common  programming
practice in earlier years) are expected to read entries for the Year 2000 as the
Year 1900 and compute payment,  interest or delinquency  based on the wrong date
or are expected to be unable to compute payment, interest or delinquency.  Rapid
and  accurate  data  processing  is  essential  to the Bank's  operations.  Data
processing is also essential to most other financial institutions and many other
companies.  Substantially  all of the Bank's material data processing that could
be affected by this  problem is provided by a third party  service  bureau.  The
service  bureau  has  informed  the Bank that it will not be  assessing  special
charges  for  the  renovation  and  testing  of its  hardware  and  software  in
preparation for Year 2000.  However,  if the service bureau is unable to resolve
this  potential  problem in time, the Bank would likely  experience  significant
data processing delays, mistakes or failures. These delays, mistakes or failures
could have a significant  adverse impact on our financial  condition and results
of operation.

The Bank has formulated a Year 2000 Compliance Plan and a Year 2000  Contingency
Plan. The Year 2000  Compliance Plan is structured in accordance with the Office
of Thrift Supervision's Year 2000 Examination Checklist, Version 2. It addresses
the identified  phases of:  Awareness,  Assessment,  Renovation,  Validation and
Implementation.  The purpose of the plan is to outline the procedures  necessary
for  assuring  that  the  Bank is in  readiness  for the  century  date  change.
Execution of the plan is currently on target.  The Bank's Year 2000  Contingency
Plan is designed to prepare the  institution  for  returning to operation in the
event that systems do not perform as planned  either before or after the century
date change.  The plan addresses vital mission critical  applications and states
both the plans in the event of noncompliance and dates for when the plan will be
put into effect.

The Company has contacted  other material  vendors and supplier  regarding their
Year 2000 state of readiness.  The Company has obtained  written  assurance from
these third party vendors  indicating that they expect to be Year 2000 compliant
prior to the Year 2000.

                                       12
<PAGE>


The Bank's third party service bureau during October 1998, converted the Bank to
its new state of the art core account processing  platform.  This new technology
was built  with Year 2000  compatible  components.  The  service  bureau  during
October 1998,  conducted Year 2000 proxy testing on this new platform.  The Bank
expects to commence  testing in May 1999. In addition,  each  application of the
system has been renovated to run on the new platform and date fields expanded to
a four digit year.  Other service bureau  products and services  utilized by the
Bank are expected to be brought Year 2000 compliant by June 1999.

The Bank upgraded its teller  operating system during the first quarter of 1999.
This  upgrade  will  further  ensure  Year  2000  readiness  by using  Year 2000
certified  software and  hardware.  The  Company's  management  estimates  costs
incidental to the upgrade to be approximately $100,000. The Company's management
anticipates  that  substantially  all of such costs will be  capitalized.  These
costs should not be material to the Company in any single year.  As of March 31,
1999, the Company had capitalized approximately $35,000 in regard to the upgrade
of its software and hardware for Year 2000 compliance.

The Company's successful and timely completion of the Year 2000 project is based
on estimates  derived by management on assumptions  of future events,  which are
inherently uncertain,  including the progress and results of the Company's third
party service provider,  testing plans, and all vendors,  suppliers and customer
readiness.
