                                 AND SUBSIDIARY

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)

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  statements  of income  for the three and six month
     periods ending June 30, 1999 are not necessarily  indicative of the results
     which may be expected for the entire year or any other interim period.

     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  ("EPS")  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 June 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.

As discussed  herein,  on July 29, 1999, the Bank opened its third branch office
in nearby Mountain City, Tennessee.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ending June 30,
1998 and 1999

Net Income.  Net income for the three  months  ending June 30,  1999,  increased
$62,000,  or 76.5%,  from  $81,000  in 1998,  to  $143,000  in 1999.  Net income
increased  $44,000,  or 18.3%,  to $285,000  for the six months  ending June 30,
1999,  from  $241,000 in 1998.  The increase for the three and six months ending
June 30,  1999,  was  primarily  the result of an decrease in  compensation  and
employee benefits.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased $5,000, from $507,000 for the
three months  ending June 30, 1998, to $502,000 for the three months ending June
30, 1999. Net interest income decreased $22,000, from approximately $1.0 million
for the six months  ending June 30, 1998,  to $991,000 for the six months ending
June 30, 1999. The decrease in net interest income for the three month period in
1999, primarily reflects a net decrease in average  interest-earning assets over
average interest-bearing liabilities of $1.5 million for the three months ending
June 30, 1999, as compared to the same period in 1998.  The overall  decrease in
net interest income for the six months ending June 30, 1999,  primarily reflects
a $1.4  million net  decrease in average  interest-earning  assets over  average
interest-bearing  liabilities,  as compared  to the same  period in 1998.  These
decreases  were offset by a 24 basis point  increase in the interest rate spread
from 2.82% for three months  ending June 30, 1998, to 3.06% for the three months
ending June 30,  1999,  and an  increase  of 15 basis  points from 2.83% for six
months  ending June 30, 1998,  to 2.98% for the six

                                       9
<PAGE>

months ending June 30, 1999. The net interest margin increased 2 basis points to
3.95% for the three months ending June 30, 1999, and decreased 4 basis points to
3.89% for the six months ending June 30, 1999.

Interest Income.  Interest income decreased $40,000, from $994,000 for the three
months  ending June 30, 1998,  to $954,000 for the three months  ending June 30,
1999. The decrease was  attributable  to a decrease in average  interest-earning
assets of approximately  $722,000, from $51.6 million at June 30, 1998, to $50.9
million  at  June  30,   1999,   and  a  decrease  in  the   average   yield  on
interest-earning  assets of 20 basis  points,  from  7.70% for the three  months
ending  June 30,  1998,  to 7.50% for the same period in 1999.  Interest  income
decreased  $72,000,  or 3.6%, from approximately $2.0 million for the six months
ending June 30, 1998,  to  approximately  $1.9 million for the six months ending
June  30,  1999.  The  decrease  was  attributable  to  a  decrease  in  average
interest-earning  assets of approximately  $593,000,  from $51.6 million at June
30, 1998, to $51.0 million at June 30, 1999, and a decrease in the average yield
on  interest-earning  assets of 19 basis  points,  from 7.68% for the six months
ending June 30, 1998, to 7.49% for the same period in 1999.

Interest on loans  decreased  $20,000 for the three months ending June 30, 1999,
as compared to the same  period in 1998,  and $34,000 for the six months  ending
June 30, 1999, as compared to the same period in 1998. These decreases primarily
reflect a 23 basis point  decrease  in the average  yield on loans for the three
months ending June 30, 1999,  from 8.34% in 1998,  and for the six months ending
June 30,  1999,  a decrease of 17 basis  points from 8.30% in 1998.  Interest on
investment  securities  increased  $9,000 for the three  months  ending June 30,
1999,  as compared  to the same  period in 1998,  and $33,000 for the six months
ending June 30,  1999,  as compared to the same period in 1998.  The increase in
interest on  investments  for the three months  ending June 30, 1999,  primarily
reflects an increase of approximately $311,000 in the average investment balance
for 1999,  compared to 1998,  and a 54 basis point increase in the average yield
on investments from 4.88% in 1998, to 5.42% in 1999. The increase in interest on
investments  for the six months  ending  June 30,  1999,  primarily  reflects an
increase of  approximately  $1.1 million in the average  investment  balance for
1999,  compared to 1998,  and an increase in the average yield on investments of
26 basis points from 5.03% in 1998, to 5.29% in 1999.

Interest on  interest-earning  deposits  decreased  $4,000 for the three  months
ending June 30,  1999,  as compared to the same period in 1998,  and $20,000 for
the six months  ending  June 30,  1999,  as compared to the same period in 1998.
These  decreases   primarily   reflect  a  decrease  in  the  average  yield  on
interest-earning deposits for both the three and six months periods in 1999. The
yield on interest-earning deposits declined to 4.28% for the three months ending
June  30,1999,  and 4.27% for the six months  ending June 30, 1999.  Interest on
mortgage-backed  securities  decreased  $25,000 for the three months ending June
30, 1999, as compared to the same period in 1998, and $51,000 for the six months
ending June 30, 1999,  as compared to the same period in 1998,  as the portfolio
continued to pay down  principal  and those funds were invested in other earning
assets.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $35,000 from $487,000 for the three
months  ending June 30, 1998,  to $452,000 for the three months  ending June 30,
1999. Interest expense decreased $50,000 from $968,000 for the six months ending
June 30, 1998, to $918,000 for the six months ending June 30, 1999. The decrease
for the three months  ending June 30,  1999,  was  primarily  the

                                       10
<PAGE>

result of a 45 basis point  decrease in the average cost of funds,  offset by an
approximately $746,000 increase in the average balance of deposits for the three
months ending June 30, 1999,  compared to 1998.  The decrease for the six months
ending June 30, 1999,  was primarily the result of a 34 basis point  decrease in
the average cost of funds,  offset by an approximately  $844,000 increase in the
average balance of deposits for the six months ending June 30, 1999, compared to
1998.

Provision  for Loan Losses.  The provision for loan losses was $7,000 and $9,000
for the three .month  period  ending June 30, 1998 and 1999,  respectively.  The
provision  for loan losses was  $15,000  and  $18,000  for the six month  period
ending June 30, 1998 and 1999, respectively.  The Company's management routinely
performs an analysis to quantify the inherent risk of loss in its portfolio.  At
June 30, 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 June 30, 1999, was 112%, and
nonperforming   assets   represented   0.74%  of  total   consolidated   assets.
Nonperforming  assets were  $385,000 at June 30,  1999,  compared to $386,000 at
June 30, 1998.  Management is not aware of any trends or events  inherent to its
loan  portfolio  that have not been  provided  for in its loan  loss  allowance.
However,  there can be no assurance that future losses will not exceed estimated
amounts or that  additional  provisions  for loan losses will not be required in
future periods.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income continues to be an additional 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
amounted to $45,000  and  $90,000  for the three and six months  ending June 30,
1999, respectively,  and $40,000 and $80,000 for the three and six months ending
June 30, 1998, respectively.

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense decreased $101,000, from $410,000 for
the three months  ending June 30, 1998,  to $309,000 for 1999.  The decrease for
the three  month  period  was  primarily  the result of  decreased  compensation
expenses of $92,000.  Non-interest expense decreased $88,000,  from $694,000 for
the six months  ending June 30,  1998,  to $606,000  for 1999.  The decrease was
primarily the result of decreased compensation expense of $69,000 and $25,000 of
other expenses during the period.  The decrease in compensation  expense for the
three and six months  periods  ending June 30,  1999,  as compared to 1998,  was
primarily  attributable to the compensation  expense  associated with the Bank's
Restricted Stock Plan ("RSP"),  which was approved by the Company's shareholders
on June 1, 1998.  The RSP vests over a four year  period with 20% vesting on the
date of grant and 20% annually thereafter.  Accordingly, the Company immediately
expensed  20% of the value of the  awards on the  grant  date and the  remaining
value is being  amortized to  compensation  expense on a monthly  basis over the
remaining four year vesting term.  Compensation expense recognized for the three
and six month  pe-riods  ending  June 30, 1998 for the RSP awards was  $114,000.
Compensation  expense for the RSP for the three  months  ended June 30, 1999 was
$31,000 and $65,000 for the six months  ending June 30,  1999.  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. Net occupancy,  deposit insurance premiums,  and data processing
expenses remained relatively stable during both three and six month periods.

As  previously  discussed,  on July 29,  1999,  the Bank opened its third branch
office in nearby Mountain City, Tennessee. 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 ending June 30, 1999, was
$86,000, compared to $49,000 for the same period in 1998. Income tax expense for
the six months ending June 30, 1999, was $172,000,  compared to $143,000 for the
same  period in 1998.  The  increase  for the three  and six month  periods  was
principally the result of higher pre-tax income. The effective tax rate for both
the three and six months in 1997 and 1998 was approximately 38%.

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. Obligations
to fund  outstanding  loan  commitments  at June  30,  1999  were  approximately
$430,000.

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  June  30,  1999,  the  Bank  had  capitalized
approximately  $177,000  of the  estimated  $200,000  of costs  associated  with
equipping this branch facility. The branch office was opened on July 29, 1999.

At  June  30,  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.  Furthermore,
at June 30, 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 June 30, 1999. The Bank had
the following capital ratios at June 30, 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.

The Bank has  formulated a Year 2000  Compliance  Plan, a Year 2000  Contingency
Plan and a Year 2000 Testing 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.  The Company is in the  implementation
phase of the plan. 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
Bank's Year 2000 Testing Plan is designed to outline the  methodology to be used
in testing and  certifying  Year 2000  compliance  of the Bank's  vital  mission
critical systems and applications.

The Company has contacted  other material  vendors and supplier  regarding their
Year 2000 state of readiness.  The Company has requested  written assurance from
these third party vendors  indicating that they expect to be Year 2000 compliant
prior to the Year 2000.  Substantially  all third party  vendors  have  provided
written  assurance.  Follow up  requests  are sent to any vendor  not  providing
assurance or a replacement vendor is contacted.

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  with each  application  of the
system  renovated to run on the new platform and date fields  expanded to a four
digit year. The service  bureau during  October 1998,  conducted Year 2000 proxy
testing on this new platform.  The Bank  conducted Year 2000 testing during June
1999. The test involved all aspects of the on-line account  processing  platform
utilizing its new teller  operating  system (as discussed  further below).  This
system and other internal  systems used by the Company were tested in accordance
with   Company's   Year  2000  Testing  Plan.  The  results  of  the  test  were
satisfactory.

The Bank upgraded its teller  operating system during the first quarter of 1999.
The upgrade will further ensure Year 2000 readiness by using Year 2000 certified
software and hardware.  The costs  incidental to the upgrade  totaled  $100,000.
Substantially  all of such costs  associated with the upgrade were  capitalized.
These costs should not be material to the Company in any single year.

No assurance can be given that the Year 2000  Compliance  Plan will be completed
successfully  by  the  Year  2000,  in  which  event  the  Company  could  incur
significant  cots.  However,  if the  third  party  service  bureau is unable to
resolve the  potential  problem in time,  the Company  would  likely  experience
significant data processing delays, mistakes or failures. These delays, mistakes
or failures could have a significant adverse impact on the financial  statements
of the Company.

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.
