                                    (UNAUDITED)

1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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 financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows in conformity with general accepted
accounting principles. Such statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of
management, reflect all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring
nature, necessary for a fair presentation of results for the selected interim
periods. Users of financial information produced for interim periods are
encouraged to refer to the footnotes contained in The Annual Report to
Stockholders when reviewing interim financial statements. The results of
operations for the three month period ended September 30, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results, which may be expected for the entire
fiscal year.

2.    PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying unaudited 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 owned subsidiary
Security Financial Services Corporation ("SFSC"). SFSC engages primarily in
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.

                   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets of the Company increased $15.7 million or 7.8% during the six
months ended September 30, 1997, primarily due to an increase of $19.1 million
in investment securities offset partially by an $2.3 million decrease in total
net loans receivable. Commercial business loans increased $ 4.5 million since
the beginning of the fiscal year, while residential real estate loans decreased
$ 4.0 million. The decrease in residential loans is due to the relatively low
interest rate environment, where most borrowers elect a fixed rate loan, which
the Bank immediately sells on the secondary market, as opposed to an adjustable
rate loan, which the Bank retains in its portfolio. The increase in commercial
business loans is part management's strategy of increasing small business loans.
Commercial business loans generally improve the Bank's yield in its portfolio
and reprice typically in one year or less, but also inherently carry more credit
risk than typical residential real estate loans. The increase in investment
during the period is part of the Bank's asset liability strategy to use leverage
and earn a spread of investments yields over cost of borrowings and deposits.

Deposits increased $5.4 million or 3.2% during the six months ended of September
30, 1997, while Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $8.5 million to fund
the Bank's growth in assets. Money market deposit accounts increased $12.0
million since March 31, 1997 due to the Bank's more aggressive pricing and
marketing strategy to attract those deposits. Certificates of deposit decreased
$5.8 million as many accounts transferred to the money market account.

The Board of Directors declared the twenty-sixth and twenty-seventh consecutive
quarterly dividend of $.06 per share in May and August 1997, which totaled
$50,000. Unrealized net losses on securities available for sale decreased by
$199,000 to a net gain of $32,000 during the six months ended September 30,
1997. Net income for the six-month period was $855,064. These items combined to
increase the Company's stockholders' equity by $1.0 million or 6.2% during the
six months ended September 30, 1997. Book value per share stood at $41.20 at
September 30, 1997 compared to $38.79 at March 31, 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In accordance with Office of Thrift Supervision regulations, the Bank is
required to maintain a liquidity ratio at specified levels, which are subject to
change. Currently, a minimum of 5.0% of the combined total of deposits and
certain borrowings must be maintained in the form of cash or eligible
investments. During the six months ended September 30, 1997, the Bank maintained
an average liquidity of 27.34% compared to 20.83% for the same period in 1996.
The Bank's current liquidity level is in line with management's objectives and
deemed adequate to meet requirements of normal operations, potential deposits
outflows and loan demand while still allowing for optimal investment of funds
and return on assets.

Loan repayments and maturities of investments are a significant source of funds
to the Bank, whereas loan disbursements are a primary use of the Bank's funds.
During the six months ended September 30, 1997, loan repayments and
securitizations exceeded loan disbursements resulting in a $2.3 million of 1.6%
decrease in total net loan receivable.

Deposits and other borrowings are also an important source of funds for the
Bank. During the six month period ended September 30, 1997, deposits increased
$5.4 million while FHLB advances increased $8.5 million. At September 30, 1997,
Security Federal had $82.2 million of certificates of deposit coming due within
one year. Based on previous experience, a major portion of these certificates
will be re-deposited.

Capital resources at September 30, 1997 are sufficient to meet outstanding
mortgage loan commitments of $171,000 and unused lines of credit of $20.7
million. Management believes that the Bank's short-term and long-term liquidity
needs will continue to be supported by the Bank's deposit base and borrowing
capacity.

                   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING CHANGES

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings per Share,
which is effective for both interim and annual periods ending after December 15,
1997. This statement supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15,
Earnings per Share. The purpose of this statement is to simplify current
reporting and make U.S. reporting comparable to international standards. The
statement requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS by entities with
complex capital structures (as defined by the statement). The Company
anticipates that adoption of this standard will not have a material affect on
EPS.

Also, in February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 129, Disclosure of Information
about Capital Structure, which is effective for financial statements for periods
ending after December 15, 1997. This statement applies to both public and
nonpublic entities. The new statement requires no change for entities subject to
the existing requirements. The Company anticipates that adoption of the standard
will not have a material affect on the Company.

In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. This
statement establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
income and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements.
Enterprises are required to classify items of "other comprehensive income" by
their nature in the financial statement and display the balance of other
comprehensive income separately in the equity section of a statement of
financial position. Statement 130 is effective for both interim and annual
periods beginning after December 15, 1997. Earlier application is permitted.
Comparative financial statements provided for earlier periods are required to be
reclassified to reflect the provisions of this statement. The Company will adopt
Statement 130 effective March 31, 1998, and will provide the required
disclosures in the Company's Form 10QSB and Annual Report.

In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information. This statement establishes standards for the
way public business companies are to report information about operating segments
in annual financial statements and requires those companies to report selected
information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to
shareholders. Statement 131 is effective for financial statements for periods
beginning after December 15, 1997. Earlier application is encouraged. In the
initial year of application, comparative information for earlier years is to be
restated, unless it is impractical to do so. Statement 131 need not be applied
to interim financial statements in the initial year of its application, but
comparative information for interim periods in the initial year of application
shall be reported in financial statements for interim periods in the second year
of application. It is not anticipated that this standard will materially effect
the Company's current method of financial reporting.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

The consolidated financial statements, related notes, and other financial
information presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial
position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without
considering changes in relative purchasing power over time due to inflation.
Unlike most industrial companies, substantially all of the assets and
liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result,
interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a financial
institution's performance than does the effect of inflation

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

YEAR 2000 CONSIDERATIONS

The Bank has begun to take steps to ensure that its core operating software and
hardware along with ancillary software packages are year 2000 compliant. Letters
have been sent to several vendors to ensure they are ready for the year 2000.
The Bank's main processing software and hardware vendors have replied that they
are year 2000 compliance in all materials respects. Other vendors are either
compliant or say they will be complaint by the year 2000. The Bank will continue
to study this issue to ensure that all software will be complaint in a timely
manner. The Bank does not anticipate any expenditures on the year 2000 issue
will be material.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

NET INCOME

Security Federal Corporation's net income was $434,000 and $855,000 or $1.04 and
$2.05 per share for the three and six months ended September 30, 1997,
respectively. These earnings are increases of $611,000 and $754,000 for the
three and six months ended September 30, 1997, compared to the same periods in
1996 due primarily to a one-time charge taken in the September 1996 quarter of $
705,000 pre-tax, as a result of legislation enacting a special assessment to
recapitalize the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's Savings Association
Insurance Fund (SAIF). Without the one-time charge, net income would have risen
by $ 173,000 or 67% and $316,000 or 59% for the three months ended September 30,
1997. These increases are attributable to increases in net interest income and
other income.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income increased by $160,000 or 7.9% and $410,000 or 10.4% for the
three and six months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the same periods in
1996 due mainly to decreases in interest expense on both deposits and borrowings
and increases in investment interest income offset partially by decreases in
interest income on loans receivable.

Interest income on loans decreased $51,000 or 1.5% and $118,000 or 1.7% for the
three and six month periods due to lower average total outstanding loan balances
in the 1997 periods compared to 1996. Investment, mortgage-backed, and other
securities interest income increased $121,000 or 19.2% and $146,407 or 11.6% for
the three and six months ended September 30, 1997 in comparison to the same
periods one year earlier due to the larger average investment balances and a
higher average yield in the overall investment portfolio in the 1997 periods.
Total interest income increased $69,000 or 1.7% and $29,000 or 0.4% during the
three and six month ended September 30, 1997, respectively.

Total interest expense decreased $90,000 or 4.5% and $381,000 or 9.3% during the
three and six month periods due to lower average balances in both deposit
balances and advances and other borrowings and a slightly lower average cost of
funds. Interest expense on deposits decreased $48,000 or 2.8% and $245,081 or
7.2% during the three and six months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the
1996 periods. Interest expense on advances and other borrowings decreased
$43,000 or 13.4% and $136,000 or 20.4% during those periods.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

Security Federal's provision for loan losses increased $165,000 to $240,000 for
the quarter ended September 30, 1997, compared to the September 1996 quarter.
For the six months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the same period one year
ago, the provision for loan losses increased $240,000 to $390,000. The increases
in the provision expense are a result of management's continual analysis of the
loan portfolio and the Bank's increasing percentage of commercial loans, which
are inherently riskier than single family mortgage loans, in the Bank's loan
portfolio. During the six months ended September 30, 1997, net charge-offs were
$123,000 compared to $160,000 for the six months ended September 30, 1996.
Non-accrual loans at September 30, 1997 were $3.6 million compared to $1.4
million at March 31, 1997.

                    SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITIONS

The growth in non-accrual loans occurred due to one $600,000 commercial loan
secured by real estate and several smaller consumer and commercial loans
becoming 60 days or more past due. The Bank designates all loans 60 or more days
past due as non-accrual, while most institutions only consider loans of 90 days
or more delinquent as non-accrual. The allowances for loan losses as a
percentage of total loans were 1.40% at September 30, 1997 and 1.19% at March
31, 1997. Further additions to the Bank's allowance for loan losses are
dependent on, among other things, the performance of the Bank's loan portfolio,
changes in real estate values, interest rates, and the economy. A major employer
in the Aiken area, the Savannah River Site, has experienced several major
downsizings of personnel the past few years. More layoffs at the site are
possible in the coming year, which could have some impact on the local economy.
Bridgestone-Firestone has begun construction of a tire manufacturing plant in
the Aiken area, which is projected to generate approximately 800 jobs in the
next few years. Management continues to monitor its loan portfolio for the
impact of local economic changes.

OTHER INCOME

Total other income increased $289,000 and $348,000 for the three and six months
ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the same periods one year ago. Gain on
sale of loans increased $ 27,000 in both the three and six month periods. Loan
servicing fees increased $5,000 in both periods. Service fees on deposit
accounts increased $34,000 in the three months and $46,000 in the six months
ended September 30, 1997. Income from real estate operations increased $86,000
and $91,000 respectively. The increases in the 1997 periods are attributable to
a $100,000 provision expense on the value of real estate acquired for
development booked in the September 1996 quarter. Other income, which
encompasses credit life insurance commissions, safe deposit rental income, gain
on sale of repossessed assets, annuity and stock brokerage commissions through
Security Financial Services and other miscellaneous fees, increased $137,000
during the three months and $140,000 during the six months ended September 30,
1997. These increases in income are attributable primarily to an increase in
customer's usage of Security Financial Services and gains on the sale of
repossessed real estate.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses decreased $674,000 and $ 683,000 during the
three and six months ended September 30, 1997 due to the $ 705,000 one-time
pre-tax charge of $ 705,000 for the FDIC SAIF special assessment in September
1996. Without this charge, general and administrative expenses would have
increased $32,000 or 1.8% during the three month period and $22,000 or 0.6%
during the six month period.

Compensation and employee benefits increased $26,000 or 3.2% and $100,000 or
6.1% during the three and six months ended September 30, 1997, due to normal
annual salary increases and addition of a few additional employees to operate
the bank's in-house computer system which was installed in late January 1997.
The Bank previously outsourced its data processing to a contract provider, which
charged approximately $ 30,000 per month. Data processing expense was
categorized in other expenses, which decreased $72,000 in the three months, and
$140,000 during the six months ended September 30, 1997 due mainly to bringing
data processing in-house. Other expenses in the other expense category consist
of legal expense, professional and consulting expense, stationary and office
supplies, real estate owned expenses, and other miscellaneous expenses.
Occupancy expense increased $21,000 and $27,000 respectively in both periods due
to some building remodeling which occurred in October 1996. Depreciation and
maintenance of equipment increased $52,000 and $49,000 respectively due to the
above mentioned computer conversion, the addition of a wide area computer
network in November 1996, and the purchase of newer personal computers for back
office utilization in fiscal 1998. FDIC insurance premiums dropped $46,000 and
$120,000 during the three and six month periods ended September 30, 1997
compared to the same periods in 1996, due to the previously mentioned FDIC SAIF
recapitalization. Amortization of intangible expense remained constant at $
116,000 for the three months and $233, 000 for the six months ended in September
1997 and 1996.
