                              Independent Auditors' Report


The Board of Directors
Security Federal Corporation:

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Security Federal
Corporation and Subsidiary (the "Company") as of March 31, 1996 and 1995 and
the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 1996. 
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.  

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
Company at March 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 1996
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company
adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes," on April 1, 1993 and adopted the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" on March 31, 1994.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(1)    Significant Accounting Policies
       -------------------------------

       The following is a description of the more significant accounting and
reporting policies used in the  preparation  and presentation of the 
accompanying consolidated financial statements.  All significant 
intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
       
       (a)  Basis of Consolidation
            ----------------------
            The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Security Federal Corporation (the "Company") and its wholly owned
subsidiary, Security Federal Bank (the "Bank") and its wholly subsidiary,
Security Financial Services Corporation ("SFSC").  SFSC consists primarily of
investment brokerage services.  Also included in consolidation are two real
estate partnerships, which the Company purchased from SFSC in December 1995 at
fair market value.

       (b)  Cash and Cash Equivalents
            -------------------------
            For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents
include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing balances in other banks, and
federal funds sold.  Cash equivalents have maturities of three months or less.
       
       (c)  Investment and Mortgage-Backed Securities
            -----------------------------------------
            In May 1993 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 115 (Statement 115), "Accounting 
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities".  Under Statement 115 
investment securities, including mortgage-backed securities, are classified into
one of three categories, held to maturity, available for sale or trading.  
Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the 
time of purchase.  
       
            Investment securities are classified as held to maturity when the
Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. 
These securities are recorded at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and
accretion of discounts over the estimated life of the security using a method
that approximates a level yield.  Prepayment assumptions on mortgage-backed
securities are anticipated.
       
            Management classifies investment securities not considered as held
to maturity as available for sale, which are stated at fair value, with
unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in a separate component of
shareholders' equity.  Gains and losses from sales of investments and
mortgage-backed securities available for sale are determined using the specific
identification method.  The Company has no trading securities.  As permitted by
Statement 115, the Company initially adopted the statement as of March 31, 1994,
the effect of which was to decrease shareholders' equity by $44,116.
       
            In November 1995, the FASB issued a guide to implementation of SFAS
No. 115 on accounting for certain investments in debt and equity securities 
which allows for the one-time transfer of certain investments classified as held
to maturity to available for sale.  The Bank transferred $27.9 million of
investments to available for sale.

            At March 31, 1995, the Bank maintained liquid assets in excess of 
the amount required by regulations.  The required amount is 5% of the average 
daily balances of deposits and short-term borrowings.  Liquid assets consist 
primarily of cash, including time deposits and investment securities with 
remaining maturities of less than five years.

       (d)  Allowance for Loan Losses
            -------------------------
            The Company provides for loan losses on the allowance method. 
Accordingly, all loan losses are charged to the related allowance and all
recoveries are credited to the allowance for loan losses.  Additions to the
allowance for loan losses are provided by charges to operations based on various
factors which, in management's judgment deserve current recognition in 
estimating possible losses.  Such factors considered by management include the 
market value of the underlying collateral, stated guarantees by the borrower if 
applicable, the borrower's ability to repay from other economic resources, 
growth and composition of the loan portfolios, the relationship of the allowance
for loan losses to outstanding loans, loss experience, delinquency trends, and 
general economic conditions.  Management evaluates the carrying value of the 
loans periodically and the allowance is adjusted accordingly.  While management 
uses the best information available to make evaluations, future adjustment to 
the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from 
the assumptions used in making the evaluations.  Allowances for loan losses are
subject to periodic evaluations by various regulatory authorities and may be
subject to adjustments based upon the information that is available to them at
the time of their examinations.

            On April 1, 1995, the Bank adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 114
Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,  and SFAS No. 118 Accounting
by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures. SFAS
No. 114 requires creditors to evaluate loans for impairment and value those 
loans for which it is probable that the creditor will be unable to collect all 
amounts due according to the terms of the loan agreement at the present value of
expected cash flows, market price of the loan, if available, or value of the 
underlying collateral.  Expected cash flows are required to be discounted at the
loan's effective interest rate.  SFAS No. 118 amends SFAS No. 114 to allow a 
creditor to use existing methods for recognizing interest income on an impaired 
loan, and requires disclosure of income recognition methods used.  The adoption 
of this standard required no increase to the allowance for loan losses and had 
no impact on net income for fiscal year 1996.

       (e)  Loans Held for Sale
            -------------------
            Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are
carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value in the aggregate.  Net
unrealized losses are provided for in a valuation allowance by charges to
operations.  
       
       (f)  Real Estate Acquired in Settlement of Loans
            -------------------------------------------
            Real estate acquired in settlement of loans represents real estate
acquired through foreclosure and is initially recorded at the lower of cost
(principal balance of the former mortgage loan less any specific valuation
allowances) or estimated fair value less costs to sell.  Subsequent improvements
are capitalized.  Costs of holding real estate, such as property taxes,
insurance, general maintenance and interest expense, are expensed as a period
cost.  Fair values are reviewed regularly and allowances for possible losses are
established when the carrying value of the real estate owned exceeds the fair
value less estimated costs to sell.  Fair values are generally determined by
reference to an outside appraisal.
       
       (g)  Real Estate Held for Development and Sale
            -----------------------------------------
            Real estate purchased for development and sale and investments in
real estate partnerships are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net
realizable value.  Costs directly related to such real estate are capitalized
until construction required to bring these properties to a saleable condition is
completed.  Capitalized costs include direct costs incurred during the
improvement period.

       ------------------------------------------
       
       Gains on the sale of real estate purchased for development and sale are
recorded at the time of sale provided certain criteria relating to property 
type, cash down payment, loan terms, and other factors are met.  If these 
criteria are not met at the date of sale, the gain is deferred and recognized 
using the installment or cost recovery method until they are satisfied, at which
time the remaining deferred gain is recorded as income.
       
       Market values of real estate purchased for development and sale are
reviewed regularly and allowances for losses are established when the carrying
value exceeds the estimated net realizable value.  In determining the estimated
net realizable value, the Company deducts from the estimated selling price the
projected cost to complete and dispose of the property and the estimated cost to
hold the property to an expected date of sale.
       
       (h)  Premises and Equipment
            ----------------------
            Premises and equipment are carried at cost, net of accumulated
depreciation.  Depreciation of premises and equipment is provided principally on
a straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the related asset. 
Estimated lives are seven to thirty years for buildings and improvements and
generally five to ten years for furniture, fixtures and equipment.

       (i)  Income Taxes
            ------------
            The Bank adopted SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes effective
April 1, 1993." Under SFAS No. 109 deferred tax expense or benefit is recognized
for the net change during the year in the deferred tax liability or asset.  That
amount together with income taxes currently payable is the total amount of 
income tax expense or benefit for the year.  Upon adoption of SFAS No. 109 the 
Bank realized an addition to net income of $30,000.  Deferred taxes are provided
for differences in financial reporting bases for assets and liabilities as 
compared with their tax bases.  Basically, a current tax liability or asset is 
established for taxes presently payable or refundable and a deferred tax liabil-
ity or asset is established for future tax items.  A valuation allowance, if 
applicable, is established for deferred tax assets that may not be realized.  
Tax bad debt reserves in excess of the base year amount (established as taxable 
years ending March 31, 1988 or later), would create a deferred tax liability.  
Deferred income taxes are provided for differences between the provision for 
loan losses for financial statement purposes and those allowed for income tax 
purposes.
       
            Effective April 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement 109 and has
reported the cumulative effect of that change in the method of accounting for
income taxes in the 1994 consolidated statement of income.
       
       (j)  Loan Fees and Costs Associated with Originating Loans
            -----------------------------------------------------
            The net of loan fees received and direct incremental costs of
originating loans are deferred and amortized over the contractual life of the
related loan.  The net fees are recognized as yield adjustments by applying the
interest method.  Prepayments are not anticipated.

       (k)  Intangible Assets
            -----------------
            Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over fair
value of net assets acquired, is amortized on a straight-line basis over the
expected periods to be benefited.  The Company assesses the recoverability of
this intangible asset by determining whether the amortization of the goodwill
balance over its remaining life can be recovered through projected undiscounted
future results.  The amount of goodwill impairment, if any, is measured based on
projected discounted future results using a discount rate reflecting the
Company's average cost of funds.
       
            Deposit based premiums, representing the cost of acquiring deposits
from other financial institutions, are being amortized by charges to operations
over the expected periods to be benefited.  The effective amortization period 
for intangible assets is approximately 10 years. 
       
       (l)  Interest Income
            ---------------
            Interest on loans is accrued and credited to income monthly based on
the principal balance outstanding and the contractual rate on the loan.  The
Company places loans on non-accrual status when they become greater than sixty
days delinquent or when in the opinion of management, full collection of
principal or interest is unlikely.  The Company provides an allowance for
uncollectible accrued interest on loans which are sixty days delinquent for all
interest accrued prior to the loan being placed on non-accrual status. The loans
are returned to an accrual status when full collection of principal and interest
appears likely.

       (m)  Fair Value of Financial Instruments
            -----------------------------------
            SFAS No. 107 "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments"
requires disclosure in the financial statements regarding the fair value of on
and off-balance sheet financial instruments for which it is practicable to do 
so. Fair values are based on quoted market prices where available and on esti-
mates of present value or other valuation techniques.  These estimates are made 
at a specific point in time and are subjective in nature involving uncertainties
and significant judgment.  In addition, SFAS No. 107 excludes all non-financial
instruments and certain financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. 
Accordingly, the aggregate fair values presented do not represent the underlying
fair value of the Bank.

            Fair values for consolidated financial statement reporting purposes
are estimated for loans with similar financial characteristics. These loans are
segregated by type of loan, considering credit risk, interest rate and pre-
payment characteristics.  Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and
adjustable rate categories.

            The fair value of performing loans is calculated by discounting
scheduled cash flows through estimated maturity dates.  Expected cash flows are
discounted using the Bank's current rates that reflect the credit and interest
rate risks inherent in each category of loans.  A prepayment assumption is used
as an estimate of the portion of loans that will be repaid prior to their
scheduled maturity.

       (n)  Earnings Per Share
            ------------------
            Net income per share is computed by dividing consolidated net income
by the weighted average number of shares of common stock equivalents outstanding
during the period.  Common share equivalents include, if applicable, dilutive
stock option share equivalents determined by using the treasury stock method.

            Certain amounts in prior years' consolidated financial statements
have been reclassified to conform with current year classifications.

(2)    Branch Acquisition
       ------------------

       On October 21, 1993 the Bank acquired certain assets and certain deposits
and other liabilities of four branch offices of NationsBank of South Carolina,
N.A. (the "branches").  In connection with the purchase, the Bank paid a deposit
premium of approximately $4.4 million. The Company accounted for the acquisition
under the purchase method of accounting.  The application of the purchase method
of accounting resulted in the adjustment of the assets and liabilities acquired
based upon their fair market values on the date of acquisition.  The Company's
consolidated statements of income include the operating results of the acquired
branches after October 21, 1993.

       The assets acquired and liabilities assumed (after purchase accounting
adjustments) of the branches at the acquisition date are summarized as follows:
       
Assets acquired:
     Loans receivable, net                       $ 15,969,139
     Building and equipment                           916,155
     Premium on deposits and goodwill               3,926,792
     Other assets                                   1,203,799

     Other liabilities                                  9,931
                                                 ------------
          Total liabilities                        61,133,755

          Cash received                          $ 39,117,870
                                                 ============

       
       At March 31, 1996, the Bank's remaining balances in goodwill and core
deposit intangible were $1,693,074 and $1,119,641, respectively.

       The following table sets forth the amount of the Company's non-accrual
loans and the status of the related interest income at March 31:

                                                    1996              1995

       Interest income which would have
         been recognized under original terms        82,670           55,308
       Interest income actually recognized           54,200           10,303
           
       Loans serviced for others at March 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994, were
$93,309,923, $97,636,672, and $100,284,182 respectively.
       
       At March 31, 1996, impaired loans amounted to $2,572,000. These loans are
well secured and no loss is estimated at this time. For the year ended March 31,
1996, the average recorded investment in impaired loans was $1,879,000 and
$54,200 of interest income was recognized on loans while they were impaired. 
All of this income was recognized using the accrual method of accounting.
       
       The Bank originates residential and commercial real estate loans
throughout its primary market area located in the south and central regions of
South Carolina.  Although this region has a diverse economy, much of the area is
dependent on the nearby Savannah River Site.   Employment at the Savannah River
Site is expected to decline in the future.  The future impact on the local
economy and real estate market could affect the financial status of the Bank's
customers.  The degree of impact will be affected by the timing and terms
associated with the Savannah River Site employment reduction, growth of other
sectors of the local economy, etc.  Future additions to the Bank's allowance for
loan losses are dependent on the performance of the Bank's loan portfolio, the
economy, changes in real estate values, and interest rates.  There can be no
assurance that additions to the allowance will not be required in future 
periods. Management continues to monitor its loan portfolio for the impact of 
local economic changes.

(7)    FHLB Stock
       ----------
        
       Investment in the stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank is required by law
for every Federally insured savings institution. No ready market exists for this
stock and it has no quoted market value.   However, because redemption of this
stock has been at par it is carried at cost.
       
       The Bank, as a member of the FHLB of Atlanta, is required to acquire and
hold shares of capital stock in the FHLB of Atlanta in an amount equal to the
greater of (i) 1.0% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of residential
mortgage loans, home purchase contracts and similar obligations at the beginning
of each year, or (ii) 1/20 of its advances (borrowings) from the FHLB of 
Atlanta. The Bank is in compliance with this requirement with an investment in 
FHLB of Atlanta stock of $1,233,200 as of March 31, 1996.

       A portion of the change in the net deferred tax asset relates to
unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale.  The related
current period deferred tax benefit of $12,737 has been recorded directly to
shareholder's equity.  The balance of the change in the net deferred tax asset 
results from the current period deferred tax benefit of $33,113.  The net
deferred tax asset is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets.
       
       No valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was required at April 1,
1995, and for the years ended March 31, 1995 and 1996.  The realization of net
deferred tax assets may be based on utilization of carrybacks to prior taxable
periods, anticipation of future taxable income in certain periods, and the
utilization of tax planning strategies.  Management has determined that it is
more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset can be supported based upon
these criteria.

(11)   Income Taxes, Continued
       -----------------------
   
       Retained earnings at March 31, 1996 includes tax bad debt reserves of
approximately $2.2 million, for which no provision for federal income tax has
been made.  If, in the future, these amounts are used for any purpose other than
to absorb bad debt losses, including dividends, stock redemptions, or
distributions in liquidation, or the Company ceases to be qualified as a savings
and loan, they may be subject to federal income tax at the then prevailing
corporate tax rate.
           
(12)   Employee Benefit Plans
       ----------------------
       
       The Company participates in a multi-employer defined benefit plan.  The
plan provides defined benefits to substantially all full-time employees of the
Company with one or more years of service. Separate actuarial valuations are not
available for each participating employer, nor are plan assets segregated. There
were no contributions to the plan required for the years ended March 31, 1996,
1995 and 1994. Plan assets exceed the present value of accumulated plan benefits
at June 30, 1995, the latest actuarial valuation date.
       
       The Company participates in a multiple employer defined contribution em-
ployee benefit plan covering substantially all employees with one or more years
of service.  The Company matches a portion of employees contributions, and the
related expenses were $47,116, $96,905, and $77,666 for the years ended March 
31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The annual contribution is determined at 
the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors.
       
       The Company established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") to
acquire shares of the Company's common stock for the exclusive benefit of the
employee participants.  The ESOP borrowed $196,880 from a savings institution 
and purchased 19,688 shares of the Company's common stock. These shares were 
pledged as collateral for the ESOP debt which was paid in full in fiscal 1994.  
For the years ended March 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 the Company recorded expenses 
related to the ESOP trust of $70,931, $51,291 and $68,472, respectively; of 
these amounts $518 and $3,190, was for interest on the ESOP note in 1994 and 
1993, respectively.  During the years ended March 31, 1994 and 1993 the plan 
repaid $15,779 and $91,138, respectively, of the note payable.   

       Since the plan currently has no unallocated stock, there was no
contribution for the year ended March 31, 1996.

(12)   Employee Benefit Plans, Continued
       ---------------------------------         

       Certain officers of the Company participate in an incentive stock option
plan. Options are granted at exercise prices not less than the fair market value
of the Company's common stock on the date of grant.  No new options were granted
during 1996.  A total of 39,377 shares have been granted, exercisable over a
period from one to ten years from the date of grant at $10.00 per share.  During
fiscal 1996, 3,938 options were exercised at $10.00 per share.  There were 3,938
options granted but unexercisable at March 31,1996.         

(13)   Commitments
       -----------
       
       In conjunction with its lending activities, the Bank enters into various
commitments to extend credit and issue letters of credit.  Loan commitments
(unfunded loans and unused lines of credit) and letters of credit are issued to
accommodate the financing needs of the Bank's customers.  Loan commitments are
agreements by the Bank to lend at a future date, so long as there are no
violations of any conditions established in the agreement.  Letters of credit
commit the Bank to make payments on behalf of customers when certain specified
events occur.
       
       Financial instruments where the contract amount represents the Bank's
credit risk include commitments under pre-approved but unused lines of credit of
$16,700,000, and $23,129,798 and letters of credit of $129,000 and $124,000 at
March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
       
      These loan and letter of credit commitments are subject to the same credit
policies and reviews as loans on the balance sheet.  Collateral, both the amount
and nature, is obtained based upon management's assessment of the credit risk. 
Since many of the extensions of credit are expected to expire without being
drawn, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash
requirements.  In addition to these loan commitments noted above, the Bank had
unused credit card loan commitments of $885,000 and $963,497 at March 31, 1996
and 1995, respectively.
       
       Outstanding commitments on mortgage loans not yet closed amounted to
$603,745 at March 31, 1996.  Such commitments, which are funded subject to
certain limitations, extend over varying periods of time with the majority being
funded within 90 days.  At March 31, 1996, the Bank had outstanding commitments
to sell approximately $613,000 of loans.

(14)   Regulatory Matters
       ------------------
       
       Federal regulations require savings institutions to have a minimum 
regulatory tangible capital equal to 1.5% of adjusted total assets, a minimum 
core capital ratio equal to 3.0% of adjusted total assets, and risk-based 
capital equal to 8.0% of risk-weighted assets.  As of March 31, 1996, the 
Bank had regulatory tangible capital equal to 5.82% of total adjusted assets, 
regulatory core capital equal to 6.32% of total adjusted assets, and risk-based 
capital equal to 10.57% of risk-weighted assets.  As a result, the Bank meets 
all three of the aforementioned capital requirements. OTS regulations impose 
various restrictions or requirements on institutions with respect to their 
ability to pay dividends or make other distributions of capital.

(15)   Related Party Transactions
       --------------------------

       At March 31, 1996, the total aggregate indebtedness to the Bank by
executive officers and directors of the Bank whose individual indebtedness
exceeded $60,000 at any time over the period since April 1, 1994 was $440,017. 
There were no additions to loans to executive officers over $60,000 during 
fiscal 1996.  Repayments on these loans totaled approximately $11,600.  Loans
to allemployees, officers and directors of the Bank, in the aggregate, 
constituted approximately 8.2% of the total shareholders' equity of the Bank at 
March 31, 1996.
       
       The Company paid insurance premiums to an insurance agency in which three
directors of the Company are also officers, directors and shareholders.  The
Company incurred expense in the amount of $79,208, and $90,877 for the years
ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, which represented insurance and 
bond premiums for insurance coverage written for the Company. Of these amounts,
$8,062, and $10,874 were the actual commissions earned by the agency.  Also, the
Bank paid $875, and $1,412 during these years to the agency out of escrow
accounts maintained for customers of the Bank.  The Company paid approximately
$2,000 in premiums in fiscal 1996.
       
       The Company rents office space from a company in which a director and an
officer of the Company and the Bank have an ownership interest.  The Bank
incurred expenses of $23,625, $22,995 and $25,511 respectively, for rent and
taxes for the years ended March 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994.

       Management is of the opinion that the transactions with respect to
insurance coverage and office rent are made on terms that are comparable to 
those which would be made with unaffiliated persons.

      Financial Liabilities
        Deposits:
          Checking, Savings, and MMDA 
           accounts                          $ 69,637            69,637

           Loan Bank                           22,864            21,082
          Other borrowed money                    350               350

       The Bank had, at March 31, 1996 $18.2 million of off-balance sheet
financial commitments.  These commitments are to originate loans and unused
consumer lines of credit and credit card lines.  Since these obligations are
based on current market rates, if funded, the original principal is considered
to be a reasonable estimate of fair market value.

       Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on
relevant market data and information about the financial instrument.  These
estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering
for sale the Bank's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Be-
cause no active market exists for a significant portion of the Bank's financial
instruments fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future 
expected loss experience, current economic conditions, current interest rates 
and prepayment trends, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, 
and other factors.  These estimates are subjective in nature and involve
uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be
determined with precision.  Changes in any of these assumptions used in
calculating fair value would also significantly affect the estimates.  Further,
the fair value estimates were calculated as of March 31, 1996.

       Fair value estimates are based on existing on and off-balance sheet
financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated
future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered
financial instruments.  For example, the Bank has significant assets and
liabilities that are not considered financial assets or liabilities including
deposit franchise value, loan servicing portfolio, deferred tax liabilities, and
premises and equipment.  In addition, the tax ramifications related to the
realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on
fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of these estimates.

(18)   Contingencies
       -------------
       
       The United States Congress is currently proposing a plan under which the
Bank Insurance Fund (BIF), hich is the primary deposit insurance fund for
commercial banks, would be merged with the Savings Association Insurance Fund
("SAIF"), which is the primary insurance fund for thrifts and savings banks.  In
connection with this merger, all members of the SAIF fund would be required to
pay a one-time assessment of between 80 and 90 basis points per every $100 of
SAIF insured deposit balances as of March 31, 1995.  Based on the Bank's deposit
balances as of March 31, 1995, the one-time assessment would be approximately
$950,000 before tax and approximately $600,000 after tax, if that expense would
be tax deductible.  In exchange for this one-time assessment, qualifying members
of the SAIF fund would receive a reduction in their annual premiums. The measure
has not yet passed Congress, and the final provisions and payment date are as 
yet unknown.

       In the normal course of business, the Company and subsidiary are
periodically involved in litigation.  In the opinion of the Company's management
none of these cases should have a material adverse effect on the consolidated
financial statements.
