BUSINESS -------- Security Federal Corporation ---------------------------- Security Federal Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in July 1987 by authorization of the Board of Directors of Security Federal Savings Bank of South Carolina ("Security Federal" or the "Bank") for the purpose of becoming a savings and loan holding company that acquired all of the outstanding stock of Security Federal issued upon the conversion of Security Federal from the mutual to the stock form (the "Conversion"). Effective August 17, 1998, the Company changed its state of incorporation from Delaware to South Carolina. As a South Carolina corporation, the Company is authorized to engage in any activity permitted by South Carolina General Corporation Law. The Company is a unitary savings and loan holding company. Through the unitary holding company structure, it is possible to expand the size and scope of the financial services offered beyond those currently offered by the Bank. The holding company structure also provides the Company with greater flexibility than the Bank would have to diversify its business activities, through existing or newly formed subsidiaries, or through acquisitions or mergers of stock thrift institutions as well as other companies. There are no current arrangements, understandings or agreements regarding any such acquisition. Future activities of the Company, other than the continuing operations of Security Federal, will be funded through dividends from Security Federal and through borrowings from third parties. See "Regulation -- Savings and Loan Holding Company Regulation" and "Taxation." Activities of the Company may also be funded through sales of additional securities or income generated by other activities of the Company. At this time, there are no plans regarding such sales of additional securities or such activities. At March 31, 2001, the Company had assets of approximately $330.6 million, deposits of approximately $257.4 million and shareholders' equity of approximately $23.5 million. The executive office of the Company is located at 1705 Whiskey Road South, Aiken, South Carolina 29803, telephone (803) 641-3000. Security Federal Bank --------------------- General. Security Federal, a federally chartered stock savings bank, is headquartered in Aiken, South Carolina. Security Federal, which has ten branch offices in Aiken and Bamberg Counties, was originally chartered under the name Aiken Building and Loan Association on March 27, 1922. The association received its federal charter and changed its name to Security Federal Savings and Loan Association of Aiken on March 7, 1962, and later changed its name to Security Federal Savings Bank of South Carolina, on November 11, 1986. Effective April 8, 1996, the Bank changed its name to Security Federal Bank. The Bank converted from the mutual to the stock form of organization on October 30, 1987. Security Federal increased its branch network to nine in October 1993 with the completion of its acquisition of four former NationsBank of South Carolina, N.A. branches located in Aiken County. In February 1996, Security Federal opened a new branch office in the Aiken Walmart Superstore, which became the Bank's tenth location. The Bank opened a branch in West Columbia in December 2001, which provides the Bank with the opportunity to expand its market area. The principal business of Security Federal is the acceptance of savings deposits from the general public and the origination of mortgage loans to enable borrowers to purchase or refinance one- to four-family residential real estate. The Bank also makes loans secured by multi-family residential and commercial real estate and consumer and commercial loans. In addition, the Bank originates construction loans on single family residences, multi-family dwellings and projects, commercial real estate, and loans for the acquisition, development and construction of residential subdivisions and commercial projects. 1 Security Federal's income is derived primarily from interest and fees earned in connection with its lending activities, and its principal expenses are interest paid on savings deposits and borrowings and operating expenses. Through a real estate partnership and Willow Woods Associates, the Company was involved in real estate development. The partnership sold its remaining lots in March, 2001, and was completely liquidated by March 31, 2001. Selected Consolidated Financial Information ------------------------------------------- This information is incorporated by reference to page 3 of the 2001 Annual Report to Stockholders ("Annual Report"). Yields Earned and Rates Paid ---------------------------- This information is incorporated by reference to page 10 of the Annual Report. Rate/Volume Analysis -------------------- This information is incorporated by reference to page 9 of the Annual Report. Lending Activities ------------------ General. The primary source of revenue for the Bank is interest and fee income from lending activities. The principal lending activity of the Bank is making conventional first mortgage real estate loans to enable borrowers to purchase or refinance one- to four-family residential real property. The Bank also makes loans secured by multi-family residential and commercial real estate and consumer and commercial loans. The Bank continues to emphasize the origination of adjustable rate residential mortgage loans, subject to market conditions, for retention in its portfolio. In addition, the Bank originates construction loans on single family residences, multi-family dwellings and projects, commercial real estate, and loans for the acquisition, development and construction of residential subdivisions and commercial projects. Adjustable rate mortgage loans ("ARMs") constituted approximately 36.7% of the Bank's total outstanding loan portfolio at March 31, 2001. The loan-to-value ratio, maturity and other provisions of loans made by the Bank reflect its policy of making the maximum loan permissible consistent with applicable regulations, established lending policies and market conditions. The Bank requires title insurance (or acceptable legal opinions on smaller loans secured by real estate) and fire insurance, and flood insurance where applicable, on loans secured by improved real estate. 2 Loan Portfolio Composition.

(2) Includes securitizations of fixed rate residential loans in the amount of $2.8 million for the fiscal year ended 1997. In addition to interest earned on loans, the Bank receives loan origination fees or "points" for originating loans. Loan points are a percentage of the principal amount of the mortgage loan which are charged to the borrower for the creation of the loan. The Bank's loan origination fees generally range from 1% to 2% on conventional residential mortgages, commercial real estate loans and commercial business loans. The total fee income (including amounts amortized to income as yield adjustments) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001 was $579,000. Loan origination and commitment fees are volatile sources of income. Such fees vary with the volume and type of loans and commitments made and purchased and with competitive conditions in mortgage markets, which in turn are governed by the demand for and availability of money. The following table shows deferred loan origination fees recognized as income by the Bank expressed as a percentage of the dollar amount of total mortgage loans originated (and retained in the Bank's portfolio) and purchased during the periods indicated and the dollar amount of deferred loan origination fees at the end of each respective period.

Does not include fees earned on loans sold. 6 The Bank also receives other fees and charges related to existing loans, conversion fees, assumption fees, late charges, and other fees collected in connection with a change in borrower or other loan modifications. Security Federal currently sells substantially all conforming fixed-rate loans with terms of 15 years or greater in the secondary mortgage market. These loans are sold in order to provide a source of funds and as one of the strategies available to close the gap between the maturities of its interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Currently, most fixed-rate, long-term mortgage loans are being originated based on Fannie Mae ("FNMA") and Freddie Mac ("FHLMC") underwriting standards. Secondary market sales have been made primarily to Freddie Mac, or other banks or investors. Freddie Mac is a quasi-governmental agency that purchases residential mortgage loans from federally insured financial institutions and certain other lenders. All loans sold to Freddie Mac are without recourse to Security Federal and essentially all other loans sold to other investors are without recourse. For the past few years, substantially all loans have been sold on a service released basis. Previous to that, some loans sold to Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, and one other investor, had been sold service retained, whereby Security Federal would collect a .25% to .375% servicing fee on the principal balance of the loan serviced. However, the pricing on loans sold service released is more favorable to the borrower. Because of that, Security Federal's loan serviced for others portfolio was ever shrinking. Due to the fixed costs of servicing that portfolio, Security Federal sold its loan serviced for others portfolio for a before tax, net gain of approximately $400,000 in the last quarter of fiscal 2001. At March 31, 2001, Security Federal was sub-servicing this portfolio of approximately $47.0 million for the buyer, with the transfer to take place in April 2001. In fiscal 2001, Security Federal sold $29.5 million on a service released basis on the secondary market. Loans closed but not yet settled with Freddie Mac or other investors, are carried in the Bank's "loans held for sale" portfolio. At March 31, 2001, the Bank held $2.3 million of loans held for sale. All of such loans were originated for investors based upon prior commitments to purchase the loans at a set price. As a result, these loans present no market risk to Security Federal. These loans are normally delivered and paid for within 30 days after the date of closing. The Bank also originates and holds fixed rate construction loans or fixed rate lot loans. The construction loans are for one year terms. Lot loans are financed on a two, three, or five year balloon term. At March 31, 2001, the Bank held $34.1 million or 13.9% of the total loan portfolio in these fixed rate loans in its residential portfolio. Loan Solicitation and Processing. The Bank actively solicits mortgage loan applications from existing customers, real estate agents, builders, real estate developers and others. The Bank also receives mortgage loan applications as a result of customer referrals and from walk-in customers. Detailed loan applications are obtained to determine the borrower's creditworthiness and ability to repay, and the more significant items on these applications are verified through the use of credit reports, financial statements and confirmations. After analysis of the loan application and property or collateral involved, including an appraisal of the property (residential appraisals are obtained through independent fee appraisers), the lending decision is made in accordance with the underwriting guidelines of the Bank. These guidelines are generally consistent with FHLMC and FNMA guidelines for residential real estate loans. With respect to commercial real estate loans, the Bank also reviews the capital adequacy of the business, the income potential of the property, the ability of the borrower to repay the loan and honor its other obligations, and general economic and industry conditions. Upon receipt of a loan application and all required related information from a prospective borrower, the loan application is submitted for approval or rejection. The residential mortgage loan underwriters approve loans which meet FHLMC and FNMA underwriting requirements, not to exceed $275,000 per loan, and the government loan direct endorser approves Federal Housing Administration ("FHA") loans not to exceed $132,000 and Veterans' Administration ("VA") loans not to exceed $203,000. The Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Senior Mortgage Officer, Senior Consumer/Commercial Loan Officer or Regional President approve loans of $250,000 or less, except as set forth above. Loans in excess of $250,000 require approval of any two of the above and any loan in an amount in excess of $350,000 7 must be approved by the Bank's Executive Committee, which operates as the Bank's Loan Committee. The loan approval limits shown are the aggregate of all loans to any one borrower or entity. The general policy of Security Federal is to issue loan commitments to qualified borrowers for a specified time period. These commitments are generally for a period of 45 days or less. With management approval, commitments may be extended for a longer period. The total outstanding amount of mortgage loan commitments issued by Security Federal as of March 31, 2001, was approximately $422,000 (excluding undisbursed portions of construction loans in process). Security Federal also had outstanding commitments available on retail lines of credit (including home equity and other consumer loans) totaling $21.5 million as of March 31, 2001. See Note 13 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Annual Report. Permanent Residential Mortgage Lending. Residential real estate mortgage loans constituted approximately 50.6% of the Bank's total outstanding loan portfolio at March 31, 2001. Security Federal offers a variety of ARMs which offer adjustable rates of interest, payments, loan balances or terms to maturity which vary according to specified indices. The Bank's ARMs generally have a loan term of 15 to 30 years with rate adjustments every one to three years during the term of the loan. Most of the Bank's ARMs contain a 100 or 200 basis point limit as to the maximum amount of change in the interest rate at any adjustment period and a 500 or 600 basis point limit over the life of the loan. The Bank generally originates ARMs to hold in its portfolio. Such loans are generally made consistent with FHLMC and FNMA guidelines. At March 31, 2001, residential ARMs totaled $89.9 million, or 36.7% of the Bank's loan portfolio. For the year ended March 31, 2001, the Bank originated $43.3 million in residential real estate loans, 85.4% of which had adjustable rates of interest. There are unquantifiable risks resulting from possible increased costs to the borrower as a result of periodic repricing. Despite the benefits of ARMs to the Bank's asset/liability management program, such loans also pose potential additional risks, primarily because as interest rates rise, the underlying payment by the borrower rises, increasing the potential for default. At the same time, marketability of the underlying property may be adversely affected by higher interest rates. When making a one- to four-family residential mortgage loan, the Bank evaluates both the borrower's creditworthiness and his or her general ability to make principal and interest payments and the value of the property that will secure the loan. The Bank generally makes loans on one- to four-family residential properties in amounts of 95% or less of the appraised value thereof. Where loans are made in amounts which exceed 80% of the appraised value of the underlying real estate, the Bank's general policy is to require private mortgage insurance on a portion of the loan. In general, the Bank restricts its residential lending to South Carolina and the nearby Augusta, Georgia market. The Bank also provides construction financing for single family dwellings both to owner-occupants and to builders for resale. Construction loans are generally made for periods of six months to one year. Typically, interest rates on interim construction loans are made on a fixed-rate basis. At March 31, 2001, residential construction loans on one- to four-family dwellings totaled $19.2 million, or 7.8% of the Bank's loan portfolio. In addition to the factors mentioned above concerning the creditworthiness of the borrower, on loans of this type the Bank seeks to evaluate the financial condition and prior performance of the builder. Commercial Business and Commercial Real Estate Loans. The commercial business and commercial real estate loans originated by the Bank are primarily secured by business properties, churches, income property developments, undeveloped land, business equipment, furniture and fixtures, inventory, and receivables. At March 31, 2001, the Bank had approximately $74.5 million or 30.5% of the Bank's total loan portfolio, in commercial business and commercial real estate loans. Approximately $46.5 million or 62.4% of commercial business and commercial real estate loans were secured primarily by real estate at March 31, 2001. Loans secured by commercial real estate are typically written for terms of 10 to 20 years. Commercial loans not secured by real estate are typically based on terms 8 of three to 60 months. Fixed rate loans typically balloon at the end of three to seven years. Adjustable rate loans are usually tied to the prime interest rate as quoted in the Wall Street Journal and adjust monthly or annually. Commercial business and commercial real estate lending entails significant additional credit risk when compared to residential lending. Commercial loans typically involve large loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. The payment experience of such loans is typically dependent upon the successful operation of the business or real estate project. These risks can be significantly affected by supply and demand conditions in the market for office and retail space and for condominiums and apartments and to adverse conditions in the local economy. Although commercial loans generally involve more risk than residential loans, they also typically earn more yield and are more sensitive to changes in interest rates. The underwriting standards employed by the Bank for commercial business and commercial real estate lending include a determination of the borrower's current financial condition, ability to pay, past earnings and payment history. In addition, the current financial condition and payment history of all principals are reviewed. Normally, the Bank requires the principal or owners of a business to guarantee all loans made to their business by the Bank. Although the creditworthiness of the business and its principals is of primary consideration, the underwriting process also includes a comparison of the value of the security, if any, in relation to the proposed loan amount. Properties securing commercial loans originated by the Bank are appraised at the time of the loan by appraisers designated by the Bank. Although the Bank is permitted to invest in loans up to 100% of the appraised value of a property on a commercial loan, the Bank currently seeks to invest in loans with a loan to value ratio of 75% to 80%. At March 31, 2001, the Bank did not have any commercial business or commercial real estate loans to one borrower in excess of $3.5 million. Federal law restricts the Bank's permissible lending limits to one borrower to the greater of $500,000 or 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus. The Bank has only infrequently made loans to one borrower equal to the amount federal law allows or approximately $3.8 million as calculated at March 31, 2001. Consumer Loans. The Bank originates consumer loans for any personal, family or household purpose, including but not limited to the financing of home improvements, automobiles, boats, mobile homes, recreational vehicles and education. In addition, the Bank has expanded its home equity lending program. Home equity loans are secured by mortgage lines on the borrower's principal or second residence. At March 31, 2001, the Bank had $10.7 million of home equity lines of credit outstanding and $17.3 million of additional commitments of such lines of credit. The Bank also makes secured and unsecured lines of credit available. Although consumer loans involve a higher level of risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans, they generally carry higher yields and have shorter terms to maturity than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. The Bank has increased its origination of consumer loans during the past several years and at March 31, 2001, the Bank had total consumer loans of $46.3 million, or 18.9% of the Bank's loan portfolio. The underwriting standards employed by the Bank for consumer loans include a determination of the applicant's payment history on other debts and an assessment of ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan. The stability of the applicant's monthly income is determined by verification of gross monthly income from primary employment, and additionally from any verifiable secondary income. Although credit- worthiness of the applicant is of primary consideration, the underwriting process also includes a comparison of the value of the security, if any, in relation to the proposed loan amount. The Bank also has a credit card program. As of March 31, 2001, 2,534 Visa credit cards had been issued by the Bank with total approved credit lines of $2.7 million, of which $707,000 was outstanding. 9 Loan Delinquencies and Defaults General. The Bank's collection procedures provide that when a real estate loan is approximately 20 days past due, the borrower is contacted by mail and payment is requested. If the delinquency continues, subsequent efforts are made to contact the delinquent borrower and establish a program to bring the loan current. In certain instances, the Bank may modify the loan or grant a limited moratorium on loan payments to enable the borrower to reorganize his financial affairs. If the loan continues in a delinquent status for 60 days or more, the Bank generally initiates foreclosure proceedings after the customer has been notified by certified mail. At March 31, 2001, the Bank had property acquired as the result of foreclosures, in-substance foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure and classified as real estate acquired in settlement of loans ("REO") valued at $94,000. Delinquent Loans. The following table sets forth information concerning delinquent mortgage and other loans at March 31, 2001. The amounts presented represent the total remaining principal balances of the related loans (before specific reserves for losses), rather than the actual payment amounts which are overdue.

Federal regulations provide for the classification of loans and other assets such as debt and equity securities considered to be of lesser quality as "substandard," "doubtful" or "loss" assets. The regulation requires savings associations to classify their own assets and to establish prudent general allowances for loan losses for assets classified "substandard" or "doubtful." For the portion of assets classified as "loss", an institution is required to either establish specific allowances of 100% of the amount classified or charge off such amount. In addition, the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") may require the establishment of a general allowance for losses based on assets classified as "substandard" and "doubtful" or based on the general quality of the asset portfolio of an association. Assets which do not currently expose the savings association to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories but possess potential weaknesses are designated "special mention" by management. At March 31, 2001, approximately $1.7 million of the Bank's assets were classified "substandard". The Bank had no loans classified as "special mention," "doubtful" or "loss" at March 31, 2001. As of March 31, 2001, there were loans totaling $587,000 which were troubled debt restructurings within the meaning of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 15 of which $587,000 was classified substandard. The Bank's policy is to classify all troubled debt restructurings as substandard. The Bank's classification of assets is consistent with OTS regulatory classifications. For additional information regarding the treatment of impaired loans, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Accounting and Reporting Changes" contained in the Annual Report. Non-performing Assets. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when the collection of principal and/or interest becomes doubtful. In addition, all loans are placed on non-accrual status when the loan becomes 90 days or more contractually delinquent. All consumer loans more than 90 days delinquent are charged against the consumer loan allowance for loan losses unless there is adequate collateral which is in the process of being repossessed or foreclosed on. The Bank has had no troubled debt restructurings which involve forgiving a portion of interest or principal on any 10 loans or making loans at a rate materially less than that of market rates. Other loans of concern are those loans (not delinquent more than 60 days) that management has determined need to be closely monitored as the potential exists for increased risk on these loans in the future. Nonperforming loans are reviewed monthly on a loan by loan basis. Specific reserves associated with these loans will vary based on estimates of recovery for each loan. The following table sets forth the amounts and categories of risk elements in the Bank's loan portfolio.

(2) $86,000 of troubled debt restructurings are included in non-accruing loans. (3) $155,000 of troubled debt restructurings are included in non-accruing loans. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001, the interest income which would have been recognized with respect to non-accruing loans, had such loans been current in accordance with their original terms and with respect to troubled debt restructurings, had such loans been current in accordance with their original terms, totaled $13,000, compared to $52,000 for the year ended March 31, 2000. At March 31, 2001, non-accrual loans totaled $183,000 compared to $890,000 and $1.2 million at March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Until March 31, 1998, the Bank had classified all loans as non-accrual when they were 60 days or more delinquent. Beginning March 31, 1998, the Bank has classified all loans as non-accrual when they are 90 days or more delinquent as is more common industry practice. Included in non-accruing loans at March 31, 2001 was one commercial loan totaling $11,000 and 16 consumer loans totaling $172,000. Of the 16 consumer loans on non- accrual status at fiscal year end, no loan exceeded $35,000 at fiscal year end. The Bank had six loans totaling $587,000 at fiscal year end which were troubled debt restructurings compared to three loans of $784,000 at March 31, 2000. None of the six troubled debt restructurings were 90 days or more delinquent or on a non-accrual status. One loan, consisting of a $16,000 unsecured commercial loan, was 60 days delinquent. The other five troubled debt restructurings consisted of a $4,000 unsecured consumer loan, a $6,000 automobile loan, a $19,000 loan secured by a certificate of deposit, a $53,000 commercial loan secured by two rental properties, and a $489,000 commercial loan secured by commercial real estate. 11 At March 31, 2001, real estate acquired through foreclosure had an outstanding carrying value of $94,000 and consisted of two properties. Provision for Losses on Loans and Real Estate Owned. Security Federal recognizes that credit losses will be experienced during the course of making loans and that the risk of loss will vary with, among other things, the type of loan being made, the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan and, in the case of a secured loan, the quality of the underlying security for the loan. The Bank seeks to establish and maintain sufficient reserves for estimated losses on specifically identified loans and real estate where such losses can be estimated. Additionally, general reserves for estimated possible losses are established on specified portions of the Bank's portfolio such as consumer loans and higher risk residential construction mortgage loans based on management's estimate of the potential loss for loans which normally can be classified as higher risk. Specific and general reserves are based on, among other criteria (1) the risk characteristics on the loan portfolio, (2) current economic conditions on a local as well as a statewide basis, (3) actual losses experienced historically, and (4) the level of reserves for possible losses in the future. Additionally, a reserve is maintained for uncollected interest on loans 90 days or more past due. At March 31, 2001, total reserves relating to loans were $2.8 million. In determining the adequacy of the reserve for loan losses, management reviews past experience of loan charge-offs, the level of past due and non-accrual loans, the size and mix of the portfolio, general economic conditions in the market area, and individual loans to identify potential credit problems. Commercial business, commercial real estate and consumer loans have increased to $120.8 million, or 49.4% of the Bank's total loan portfolio at March 31, 2001, and it is anticipated there will be a continued emphasis on this type of credit. Although commercial business and consumer loans carry a higher level of credit risk than conventional residential mortgage loans, the level of reserves reflects management's continuing evaluation of this risk based on upon the Bank's past loss experience. At fiscal year end, the Bank's ratio of loans delinquent more than 60 days to total assets was .24%. These delinquent loans are considered to be well secured and are in the process of collection. Management believes that reserves for loan losses are at a level adequate to provide for inherent loan losses. Although management believes that it has considered all relevant factors in its estimation of future losses, future adjustments to reserves may be necessary if conditions change substantially from the assumptions used in making the original estimations. Regulators will from time to time evaluate the allowance for loan losses which are subject to adjustments based upon the information available to the regulators at the time of their examinations. Management believes the Bank has no undue concentration of loans in any one particular industry. At March 31, 2001, the Bank had no allowance for losses on real estate owned. 12 The following table sets forth an analysis of the Bank's allowance for loan losses.

14 Service Corporation ------------------- As a federally chartered savings bank, Security Federal is permitted by OTS regulations to invest up to 2% of its assets in the stock of, or loans to, service corporation subsidiaries, and may invest an additional 1% of its assets in service corporations where such additional funds are used for inner-city or community development purposes. At March 31, 2001, Security Federal's net investment in its service corporations (including loans to service corporations) totaled $303,000. In addition to investments in service corporations, federal institutions are permitted to invest an unlimited amount in operating subsidiaries engaged solely in activities which a federal savings bank may engage in directly. Security Financial Services Corporation ("SFSC"). SFSC was incorporated in 1975 as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank. Its primary activity is investment brokerage services. Real Estate Partnership. The Company also develops real estate through two real estate partnerships which it purchased from SFSC at market value in December 1995. Each project was designed primarily to develop and sell residential lots in and around the Bank's primary lending area. One project was completed during fiscal 1998. The Company had no investment in the remaining project at March 31, 2001. The Company has no plans for additional real estate ventures. During fiscal 1990, SFSC entered into a joint venture agreement, known as Willow Woods, to develop 97.2 acres of land in Aiken County into approximately 150 single family residential lots. SFSC is a 50% partner in the joint venture. The first phase of this development containing 51 lots was completed in May of 1991, and as of March 31, 2000, all of the lots had been sold. Construction on the second phase of Willow Woods was completed in May 1994 and contains 40 single family residential lots, and as of March 31, 2000, all of the lots had been sold. Phase three was completed in October 1999 and consists of 11 single family residential lots of which all had been sold as of March 31, 2001. The Company intends to establish a trust company to be called Security Federal Trust, Inc. to engage in asset management and trust activities. Additionally, the Company intends to establish a subsidiary to be called Security Federal Investments, Inc. to engage in investment activities. The Company also intends to provide a full range of insurance services to its customers. The Company will apply to the OTS for the requisite approvals for Security Federal Trust, Inc. and Security Federal Investments, Inc. prior to the time these companies engage in any business activities or operations. Investment Activities --------------------- Investment securities. The Bank has authority to invest in various types of liquid assets, including U.S. Treasury obligations and securities of various federal agencies, certificates of deposit at insured institutions, bankers' acceptances and federal funds. The Bank may also invest a portion of its assets in certain commercial paper and corporate debt securities. The Bank is also authorized to invest in mutual funds whose assets conform to the investments that a federal thrift institution is authorized to make directly. There are various restrictions on the foregoing investments. For example, the commercial paper must be appropriately rated by at least two nationally recognized investment rating services and the corporate debt securities must be appropriately rated by at least one such service. In addition, the average maturity of an institution's portfolio of corporate debt securities may not, at any one time, exceed six years, and the commercial paper must mature within nine months of issuance. Moreover, an institution's total investment in the commercial paper and corporate debt securities of any one issuer may not exceed 1% of the institution's assets except that an institution may invest 5% of its assets in the shares of any appropriate mutual fund. See "Regulation -- Federal Regulation of Savings Associations." As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") System, Security Federal must maintain minimum levels of investments that are liquid assets as defined in Federal regulations. See "Regulation -- Federal Regulation of 15 Savings Associations -- Federal Home Loan Bank System." Liquidity may increase or decrease depending upon the availability of funds and comparative yields on investments in relation to the return on loans. Historically, the Bank has maintained its liquid assets above the minimum requirements imposed by the OTS regulations and at a level believed adequate to meet requirements of normal daily activities, repayment of maturing debt and potential deposit outflows. Cash flow projections are regularly reviewed and updated to assure that adequate liquidity is provided. As of March 31, 2001, the Bank's liquidity ratio (liquid assets as a percentage of net withdrawable savings and current borrowings) was approximately 17%. The following table sets forth the composition of the Company's portfolio of securities and other investments, not including mortgage-backed securities.

The Bank has sold securities under an agreement to repurchase when it is a cost effective method to acquire funds. The Bank did not engage in such transactions during fiscal 2001. See "-- Borrowings." Mortgage-backed securities. Security Federal has a portfolio of mortgage-backed securities which it holds in both an available for sale and a held to maturity portfolio. Such mortgage-backed securities can serve as collateral for borrowings and, through repayments, as a source of liquidity. Under the Bank's risk-based capital requirement, mortgage-backed securities have a risk weight of 20% (or 0% in the case of Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") securities) in contrast to the 50% risk weight carried by residential loans. See "Regulation." The Bank had $8.2 million, $10.7 million, $9.4 million and $4.4 million of mortgage-backed securities issued by FHLMC at March 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Bank had $12.0 million in mortgage-backed securities issued by FNMA and $16.6 million issued by GNMA at March 31, 2001, compared to $14.1 million in mortgage-backed securities issued by FNMA and $12.2 million issued by GNMA at March 31, 2000, and $8.7 million in mortgage-backed securities issued by FNMA and $9.8 million issued by GNMA at March 31, 1999.

Sources of Funds ---------------- Deposit accounts have traditionally been a principal source of the Bank's funds for use in lending and for other general business purposes. In addition to deposits, the Bank derives funds from loan repayments, cash flows generated from operations (including interest credited to deposit accounts), FHLB of Atlanta advances, the sale of securities under agreements to repurchase, and loan sales. Scheduled loan payments are a relatively stable source of funds while deposit inflows and outflows and the related cost of such funds have varied widely. FHLB of Atlanta advances and the sale of securities under agreements to repurchase may be used on a short-term basis to compensate for seasonal reductions in deposits or deposit inflows at less than projected levels and may be used on a longer term basis in support of expanded lending activities. The availability of funds from loan sales is influenced by general interest rates. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contained in the Annual Report. In addition, the Bank originates loans for other financial institutions and Freddie Mac with their prior commitment to purchase the loan at a set price. The amount of these loans originated and sold depends primarily on loan demand. During fiscal 2001, the Bank originated $29.5 million of such loans for other financial institutions. See "-- Loan Originations, Purchases and Sales." Deposits. The Bank attracts both short-term and long-term deposits from the general public by offering a wide assortment of accounts and rates. In recent years, market conditions have required the Bank to rely increasingly on short-term accounts and other deposit alternatives that are more responsive to market interest rates than the passbook accounts and regulated fixed interest rate, fixed-term certificates that were the Bank's primary source of deposits before 1978. The Bank offers regular passbook accounts, checking accounts, various money market accounts, fixed interest 18 rate certificates with varying maturities, negotiated rate $100,000 or above jumbo certificates of deposit ("Jumbo CDs") and individual retirement accounts. At March 31, 2001, the Bank had no brokered deposits. In addition, the Bank believes that, based on its experience over the past several years, its passbook and transaction accounts are stable sources of deposits. The following table sets forth the dollar amount of savings deposits in the various types of deposit programs for the periods indicated.

At March 31, 2001, Jumbo CDs constituted 13.9% of the Bank's total deposits. Security Federal has not relied heavily on Jumbo CDs to manage interest rate sensitivity.

Each FHLB credit program has its own interest rate, which may be fixed or variable, and range of maturities. The FHLB of Atlanta may prescribe the acceptable uses to which these advances may be put, as well as limitations on the size of the advances and repayment provisions. See Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Annual Report for disclosure regarding the maturities and rate structure of the Bank's FHLB advances. Federal law contains certain collateral requirements for FHLB advances. See "Regulation -- Federal Regulation of Savings Associations -- Federal Home Loan Bank System." Occasionally, the Bank has used the sale of securities under agreements to repurchase as a source of funds. The securities sold pursuant to these agreements consist of mortgage loans which have been convened to FHLMC participation certificates. The Bank has sold securities under agreements to repurchase to both FHLMC and Wachovia 20 Bank and Trust Company. These funds are used whenever its costs are favorable compared to alternative sources of funds. At March 31, 2001, the Bank had no wholesale repurchase agreements outstanding. At March 31, 2001, the Bank had $3.4 million in retail repurchase agreements with an average rate of 4.88%. The following table sets forth the maximum month-end balance and average balance of FHLB advances at the dates indicated.

On October 21, 1993 the Bank expanded its market area through the acquisition of four branch offices of NationsBank of South Carolina, N.A. The branches are located in Langley, Graniteville, Clearwater and Wagener, Aiken County, South Carolina. Security Federal faces strong competition both in originating loans and in attracting deposits. Competition in originating loans comes primarily from other thrift institutions, commercial banks, mortgage bankers and credit unions who also make loans in the Bank's market area. The Bank competes for loans principally on the basis of the interest rates and loan fees it charges, the types of loans it makes and the quality of services it provides to borrowers. The Bank faces substantial competition in attracting deposits from other thrift institutions, commercial banks, money market and mutual funds, credit unions and other investment vehicles. The ability of the Bank to attract and retain deposits depends on its ability to provide an investment opportunity that satisfies the requirements of investors as to rate of return, liquidity, risk and other factors. The Bank attracts a significant amount of deposits through its branch offices primarily from the communities in which those branch offices are located. Therefore, competition for those deposits is principally from other thrift institutions and commercial banks located in the same communities. The Bank competes for these deposits by offering a variety of deposit accounts at competitive rates, convenient business hours, and convenient branch locations with interbranch deposit and withdrawal privileges at each. The authority to offer money market deposits, and expanded lending and other powers authorized for thrift institutions by federal law, have resulted in increased competition for both deposits and loans between thrift institutions and other financial institutions such as commercial banks and credit unions. 22 REGULATION General ------- The Bank is subject to extensive regulation, examination and supervision by the OTS as its chartering agency, and the FDIC, as the insurer of its deposits. The activities of federal savings institutions are governed by the Home Owners' Loan Act ("HOLA") and, in certain respects, the Federal Deposit Insurance Act ("FDIA"), and the regulations issued by the OTS and the FDIC to implement these statutes. These laws and regulations delineate the nature and extent of the activities in which federal savings associations may engage. Lending activities and other investments must comply with various statutory and regulatory capital requirements. In addition, the Bank's relationship with its depositors and borrowers is also regulated to a great extent, especially in such matters as the ownership of deposit accounts and the form and content of the Bank's mortgage documents. The Bank must file reports with the OTS and the FDIC concerning its activities and financial condition in addition to obtaining regulatory approvals prior to entering into certain transactions such as mergers with, or acquisitions of, other financial institutions. There are periodic examinations by the OTS to review the Bank's compliance with various regulatory requirements. The regulatory structure also gives the regulatory authorities extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities and examination policies, including policies with respect to the classification of assets and the establishment of adequate loan loss reserves for regulatory purposes. Any change in such policies, whether by the OTS, the FDIC or Congress, could have a material adverse impact on the Company, the Bank and their operations. The Company, as a savings and loan holding company, is also required to file certain report with, and otherwise comply with the rules and regulations of, the OTS. Federal Regulation of Savings Associations ------------------------------------------ Office of Thrift Supervision. The OTS is an office in the Department of the Treasury subject to the general oversight of the Secretary of the Treasury. The OTS has extensive authority over the operations of savings associations. Among other functions, the OTS issues and enforces regulations affecting federally insured savings associations and regularly examines these institutions. All savings associations are required to pay assessments to the OTS to fund the agency's operations. The general assessments, paid on a semi-annual basis, are determined based on the savings association's total assets, including consolidated subsidiaries. The Bank's OTS assessment for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001 was $68,000. Federal Home Loan Bank System. The FHLB System, consisting of 12 FHLBs, is under the jurisdiction of the Federal Housing Finance Board ("FHFB"). The designated duties of the FHFB are to supervise the FHLBs, to ensure that the FHLBs carry out their housing finance mission, to ensure that the FHLBs remain adequately capitalized and able to raise funds in the capital markets, and to ensure that the FHLBs operate in a safe and sound manner. 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 (i.e., borrowings) from the FHLB of Atlanta. The Bank is in compliance with this requirement with an investment in FHLB of Atlanta stock of $3.4 million at March 31, 2001. Among other benefits, the FHLB provides a central credit facility primarily for member institutions. It is funded primarily from proceeds derived from the sale of consolidated obligations of the FHLB System. It makes advances to members in accordance with policies and procedures established by the FHFB and the Board of Directors of the FHLB of Atlanta. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The FDIC is an independent federal agency established originally to insure the deposits, up to prescribed statutory limits, of federally insured banks and to preserve the safety and soundness of the banking industry. The FDIC maintains two separate insurance funds: the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") and the 23 SAIF. The Bank's deposit accounts are insured by the FDIC under the SAIF to the maximum extent permitted by law. As insurer of the Bank's deposits, the FDIC has examination, supervisory and enforcement authority over all savings associations. Under applicable regulations, the FDIC assigns an institution to one of three capital categories based on the institution's financial information, as of the reporting period ending seven months before the assessment period. The capital categories are: (i) well-capitalized, (ii) adequately capitalized, or (iii) undercapitalized. An institution is also placed in one of three supervisory subcategories within each capital group. The supervisory subgroup to which an institution is assigned is based on a supervisory evaluation provided to the FDIC by the institution's primary federal regulator and information that the FDIC determines to be relevant to the institution's financial condition and the risk posed to the deposit insurance funds. An institution's assessment rate depends on the capital category and supervisory category to which it is assigned with the most well-capitalized, healthy institutions receiving the lowest rates. Effective January 1, 1997, the premium schedule for BIF and SAIF insured institutions ranged from 0 to 27 basis points. However, SAIF insured institutions and BIF insured institutions are required to pay a Financing Corporation assessment in order to fund the interest on bonds issued to resolve thrift failures in the 1980s. This amount is currently equal to about 2.1 basis points for each $100 in domestic deposits for both BIF and SAIF members. These assessments, which are revised quarterly based upon the level of BIF and SAIF deposits, will continue until the bonds mature in the year 2015. The FDIC is authorized to raise the assessment rates in certain circumstances. The FDIC has exercised this authority several times in the past and may raise insurance premiums in the future. If such action is taken by the FDIC, it could have an adverse effect on the earnings of the Bank. Under the FDIA, insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC or the OTS. Management of the Bank does not know of any practice, condition or violation that might lead to termination of deposit insurance. Liquidity Requirements. Under OTS regulations, each savings institution is required to maintain an average daily balance of specified liquid assets equal to a monthly average of not less than a specified percentage of its net withdrawable deposit accounts plus short-term borrowings. This liquidity requirement is currently 4%, but may be changed from time to time by the OTS to any amount within the range of 4% to 10%. Monetary penalties may be imposed for failure to meet liquidity requirements. The Bank has never been subject to monetary penalties for failure to meet its liquidity requirements. Prompt Corrective Action. The OTS is required to take certain supervisory actions against undercapitalized savings associations, the severity of which depends upon the institution's degree of undercapitalization. Generally, an institution that has a ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of less than 8%, a ratio of Tier I (core) capital to risk- weighted assets of less than 4%, or a ratio of core capital to total assets of less than 4% (3% or less for institutions with the highest examination rating) is considered to be "undercapitalized." An institution that has a total risk-based capital ratio less than 6%, a Tier I capital ratio of less than 3% or a leverage ratio that is less than 3% is considered to be "significantly undercapitalized" and an institution that has a tangible capital to assets ratio equal to or less than 2% is deemed to be "critically undercapitalized." Subject to a narrow exception, the OTS is required to appoint a receiver or conservator for a savings institution that is "critically undercapitalized." OTS regulations also require that a capital restoration plan be filed with the OTS within 45 days of the date a savings institution receives notice that it is "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized" or "critically undercapitalized." Compliance with the plan must be guaranteed by any parent holding company in an amount of up to the lesser of 5% of the institution's assets or the amount which would bring the institution into compliance with all capital standards. In addition, numerous mandatory supervisory actions become immediately applicable to an undercapitalized institution, including, but not limited to, increased monitoring by regulators and restrictions on growth, capital distributions and expansion. The OTS also could 24 take any one of a number of discretionary supervisory actions, including the issuance of a capital directive and the replacement of senior executive officers and directors. At March 31, 2001, the Bank was categorized as "well capitalized" under the prompt corrective action regulations of the OTS. Standards for Safety and Soundness. The federal banking regulatory agencies have prescribed, by regulation, standards for all insured depository institutions relating to: (i) internal controls, information systems and internal audit systems; (ii) loan documentation; (iii) credit underwriting; (iv) interest rate risk exposure; (v) asset growth; (vi) asset quality; (vii) earnings; and (viii) compensation, fees and benefits ("Guidelines"). The Guidelines set forth the safety and soundness standards that the federal banking agencies use to identify and address problems at insured depository institutions before capital becomes impaired. If the OTS determines that the Bank fails to meet any standard prescribed by the Guidelines, the agency may require the Bank to submit to the agency an acceptable plan to achieve compliance with the standard. Management is aware of no conditions relating to these safety and soundness standards which would require submission of a plan of compliance. Qualified Thrift Lender Test. All savings associations, including the Bank, are required to meet a qualified thrift lender ("QTL") test to avoid certain restrictions on their operations. This test requires a savings association to have at least 65% of its portfolio asset (as defined by regulation) in qualified thrift investments on a monthly average for nine out of every 12 months on a rolling basis. As an alternative, the savings association may maintain 60% of its assets in those assets specified in Section 7701(a)(19) of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code"). Under either test, such assets primarily consist of residential housing related loans and investments. At March 31, 2001, the Bank met the test and its QTL percentage was 85%. Any savings association that fails to meet the QTL test must convert to a national bank charter, unless it requalifies as a QTL and thereafter remains a QTL. If an association does not requalify and converts to a national bank charter, it must remain SAIF-insured until the FDIC permits it to transfer to the BIF. If such an association has not yet requalified or converted to a national bank, its new investments and activities are limited to those permissible for both a savings association and a national bank, and it is limited to national bank branching rights in its home state. In addition, the association is subject to national bank limits for payment of dividends. If such association has not requalified or converted to a national bank within three years after the failure, it must divest of all investments and cease all activities not permissible for a national bank. In addition, it must repay promptly any outstanding FHLB borrowings, which may result in prepayment penalties. If any association that fails the QTL test is controlled by a holding company, then within one year after the failure, the holding company must register as a bank holding company and become subject to all restrictions on bank holding companies. See "-- Savings and Loan Holding Company Regulations." Capital Requirements. Federally insured savings associations, such as the Bank, are required to maintain a minimum level of regulatory capital. The OTS has established capital standards, including a tangible capital requirement, a leverage ratio (or core capital) requirement and a risk-based capital requirement applicable to such savings associations. The capital regulations require tangible capital of at least 1.5% of adjusted total assets (as defined by regulation). At March 31, 2001, the Bank had tangible capital of $22.5 million, or 6.8% of adjusted total assets, which is approximately $15.9 million above the minimum requirement of 2.0% of adjusted total assets in effect on that date. The capital standards also require core capital equal to at least 4% of adjusted total assets, depending on an institution's supervisory rating. Core capital generally consists of tangible capital. At March 31, 2001, the Bank had core capital equal to $23.0 million, or 6.9% of adjusted total assets, which is $9.7 million above the minimum leverage ratio requirement of 4% as in effect on that date. 25 The OTS risk-based requirement requires savings associations to have total capital of at least 8% of risk-weighted assets. Total capital consists of core capital, as defined above, and supplementary capital. Supplementary capital consists of certain permanent and maturing capital instruments that do not qualify as core capital and general valuation loan and lease loss allowances up to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. Supplementary capital may be used to satisfy the risk-based requirement only to the extent of core capital. In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, including certain off-balance sheet items, are multiplied by a risk weight, ranging from 0% to 100%, based on the risk inherent in the type of asset. For example, the OTS has assigned a risk weight of 50% for prudently underwritten permanent one- to- four family first lien mortgage loans not more than 90 days delinquent and having a loan-to-value ratio of not more than 80% at origination unless insured to such ratio by an insurer approved by FNMA or FHLMC. On March 31, 2001, the Bank had total risk-based capital of approximately $25.3 million, including $22.7 million in core capital and $2.6 million in qualifying supplementary capital, and risk-weighted assets of $206.6 million, or total capital of 12.2% of risk-weighted assets. This amount was $8.8 million above the 8% requirement in effect on that date. The OTS is authorized to impose capital requirements in excess of these standards on individual associations on a case-by-case basis. The OTS and the FDIC are authorized and, under certain circumstances required, to take certain actions against savings associations that fail to meet their capital requirements. The OTS is generally required to take action to restrict the activities of an "undercapitalized association" (generally defined to be one with less than either a 4% core capital ratio, a 4% Tier 1 risked-based capital ratio or an 8% risk-based capital ratio). Any such association must submit a capital restoration plan and until such plan is approved by the OTS may not increase its assets, acquire another institution, establish a branch or engage in any new activities, and generally may not make capital distributions. The OTS is authorized to impose the additional restrictions that are applicable to significantly undercapitalized associations. The OTS is also generally authorized to reclassify an association into a lower capital category and impose the restrictions applicable to such category if the institution is engaged in unsafe or unsound practices or is in an unsafe or unsound condition. The imposition by the OTS or the FDIC of any of these measures on the Company or the Bank may have a substantial adverse effect on their operations and profitability. Limitations on Capital Distributions. The OTS imposes various restrictions on savings associations with respect to their ability to make distributions of capital, which include dividends, stock redemptions or repurchases, cash-out mergers and other transactions charged to the capital account. The OTS also prohibits a savings association from declaring or paying any dividends or from repurchasing any of its stock if, as a result of such action, the regulatory capital of the association would be reduced below the amount required to be maintained for the liquidation account established in connection with the association's mutual to stock conversion. The Bank may make a capital distribution without OTS approval provided that the Bank notify the OTS 30 days before it declares the capital distribution and that the following requirements are met: (i) the Bank has a regulatory rating in one of the two top examination categories, (ii) the Bank is not of supervisory concern, and will remain adequately or well capitalized, as defined in the OTS prompt corrective action regulations, following the proposed distribution, and (iii) the distribution does not exceed the Bank's net income for the calendar year-to-date plus retained net income for the previous two calendar years (less any dividends previously paid). If the Bank does not meet these stated requirements, it must obtain the prior approval of the OTS before declaring any proposed distributions. In the event the Bank's capital falls below its regulatory requirements or the OTS notifies it that it is in need of more than normal supervision, the Bank's ability to make capital distributions will be restricted. In addition, no 26 distribution will be made if the Bank is notified by the OTS that a proposed capital distribution would constitute an unsafe and unsound practice, which would otherwise be permitted by the regulation. Loans to One Borrower. Federal law provides that savings institutions are generally subject to the national bank limit on loans to one borrower. A savings institution may not make a loan or extend credit to a single or related group of borrowers in excess of 15% of its unimpaired capital and surplus. An additional amount may be lent, equal to 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus, if secured by specified readily-marketable collateral. At March 31, 2001, the Bank's limit on loans to one borrower was $3.8 million. At March 31, 2001, the Bank's largest single loan to one borrower was $3.5 million, which was performing according to its original terms. Activities of Associations and Their Subsidiaries. When a savings association establishes or acquires a subsidiary or elects to conduct any new activity through a subsidiary that the association controls, the savings association must notify the FDIC and the OTS 30 days in advance and provide the information each agency may, by regulation, require. Savings associations also must conduct the activities of subsidiaries in accordance with existing regulations and orders. The OTS may determine that the continuation by a savings association of its ownership control of, or its relationship to, the subsidiary constitutes a serious risk to the safety, soundness or stability of the association or is inconsistent with sound banking practices or with the purposes of the FDIA. Based upon that determination, the FDIC or the OTS has the authority to order the savings association to divest itself of control of the subsidiary. The FDIC also may determine by regulation or order that any specific activity poses a serious threat to the SAIF. If so, it may require that no SAIF member engage in that activity directly. Transactions with Affiliates. Savings associations must comply with Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act relative to transactions with affiliates in the same manner and to the same extent as if the savings association were a Federal Reserve member bank. Generally, transactions between a savings association or its subsidiaries and its affiliates are required to be on terms as favorable to the association as transactions with non-affiliates. In addition, certain of these transactions, such as loans to an affiliate, are restricted to a percentage of the association's capital. Affiliates of the Bank include the Company and any company which is under common control with the Bank. In addition, a savings association may not lend to any affiliate engaged in activities not permissible for a bank holding company or acquire the securities of most affiliates. The OTS has the discretion to treat subsidiaries of savings associations as affiliates on a case by case basis. Certain transactions with directors, officers or controlling persons are also subject to conflict of interest regulations enforced by the OTS. These conflict of interest regulations and other statutes also impose restrictions on loans to such persons and their related interests. Among other things, such loans must be made on terms substantially the same as for loans to unaffiliated individuals. Community Reinvestment Act. Under the federal Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA"), all federally-insured financial institutions have a continuing and affirmative obligation consistent with safe and sound operations to help meet all the credit needs of its delineated community. The CRA does not establish specific lending requirements or programs nor does it limit an institution's discretion to develop the types of products and services that it believes are best suited to meet all the credit needs of its delineated community. The CRA requires the federal banking agencies, in connection with regulatory examinations, to assess an institution's record of meeting the credit needs of its delineated community and to take such record into account in evaluating regulatory applications to establish a new branch office that will accept deposits, relocate an existing office, or merge or consolidate with, or acquire the assets or assume the liabilities of, a federally regulated financial institution, among others. The CRA requires public disclosure of an institution's CRA rating. The Bank received an "outstanding" rating as a result of its latest evaluation. Regulatory and Criminal Enforcement Provisions. The OTS has primary enforcement responsibility over savings institutions and has the authority to bring action against all "institution-affiliated parties," including stockholders, 27 and any attorneys, appraisers and accountants who knowingly or recklessly participate in wrongful action likely to have an adverse effect on an insured institution. Formal enforcement action may range from the issuance of a capital directive or cease and desist order to removal of officers or directors, receivership, conservatorship or termination of deposit insurance. Civil penalties cover a wide range of violations and can amount to $27,500 per day, or $1.1 million per day in especially egregious cases. Under the FDIA, the FDIC has the authority to recommend to the Director of the OTS that enforcement action be taken with respect to a particular savings institution. If action is not taken by the Director, the FDIC has authority to take such action under certain circumstances. Federal law also establishes criminal penalties for certain violations. Savings and Loan Holding Company Regulations -------------------------------------------- The Company is a unitary savings and loan holding company subject to regulatory oversight of the OTS. Accordingly, the Company is required to file reports with the OTS and is subject to regulation and examination by the OTS. In addition, the OTS has enforcement authority over the Company and its non-savings association subsidiaries which also permits the OTS to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to present a serious risk to the subsidiary savings association. Acquisitions. Federal law and OTS regulations issued thereunder generally prohibit a savings and loan holding company, without prior OTS approval, from acquiring more than 5% of the voting stock of any other savings association or savings and loan holding company or controlling the assets thereof. They also prohibit, among other things, any director or officer of a savings and loan holding company, or any individual who owns or controls more than 25% of the voting shares of such holding company, from acquiring control of any savings association not a subsidiary of such savings and loan holding company, unless the acquisition is approved by the OTS. Activities. As a unitary savings and loan holding company, the Company generally is not subject to activity restrictions. If the Company acquires control of another savings association as a separate subsidiary other than in a supervisory acquisition, it would become a multiple savings and loan holding company and the activities of the Bank and any other subsidiaries (other than the Bank or any other SAIF insured savings association) would generally become subject to additional restrictions. There generally are more restrictions on the activities of a multiple savings and loan holding company than on those of a unitary savings and loan holding company. Federal law provides that, among other things, no multiple savings and loan holding company or subsidiary thereof which is not an insured association shall commence or continue for more than two years after becoming a multiple savings and loan association holding company or subsidiary thereof, any business activity other than: (i) furnishing or performing management services for a subsidiary insured institution, (ii) conducting an insurance agency or escrow business, (iii) holding, managing, or liquidating assets owned by or acquired from a subsidiary insured institution, (iv) holding or managing properties used or occupied by a subsidiary insured institution, (v) acting as trustee under deeds of trust, (vi) those activities previously directly authorized by regulation as of March 5, 1987 to be engaged in by multiple holding companies or (vii) those activities authorized by the Federal Reserve Board as permissible for bank holding companies, unless the OTS by regulation, prohibits or limits such activities for savings and loan holding companies. Those activities described in (vii) above also must be approved by the OTS prior to being engaged in by a multiple savings and loan holding company. Qualified Thrift Lender Test. If the Bank fails the qualified thrift lender test, within one year the Company must register as, and will become subject to, the significant activity restrictions applicable to bank holding companies. See "-- Federal Regulation of Savings Associations -- Qualified Thrift Lender Test" for information regarding the Bank's qualified thrift lender test. 28 TAXATION Federal Taxation ---------------- General. The Company and the Bank report their income on a fiscal year basis using the accrual method of accounting and are subject to federal income taxation in the same manner as other corporations with some exceptions, including particularly the Bank's reserve for bad debts discussed below. The following discussion of tax matters is intended only as a summary and does not purport to be a comprehensive description of the tax rules applicable to the Bank or the Company. Bad Debt Reserve. Historically, savings institutions such as the Bank which met certain definitional tests primarily related to their assets and the nature of their business ("qualifying thrift") were permitted to establish a reserve for bad debts and to make annual additions thereto, which may have been deducted in arriving at their taxable income. The Bank's deductions with respect to "qualifying real property loans," which are generally loans secured by certain interest in real property, were computed using an amount based on the Bank's actual loss experience, or a percentage equal to 8% of the Bank's taxable income, computed with certain modifications and reduced by the amount of any permitted additions to the non-qualifying reserve. Due to the Bank's loss experience, the Bank generally recognized a bad debt deduction equal to 8% of taxable income. The thrift bad debt rules were revised by Congress in 1996. The new rules eliminated the 8% of taxable income method for deducting additions to the tax bad debt reserves for all thrifts for tax years beginning after December 31, 1995. These rules also required that all institutions recapture all or a portion of their bad debt reserves added since the base year (last taxable year beginning before January 1, 1988). The Bank has no post-1987 reserves subject to recapture. For taxable years beginning after December 31, 1995, the Bank's bad debt deduction will be determined under the experience method using a formula based on actual bad debt experience over a period of years. The unrecaptured base year reserves will not be subject to recapture as long as the institution continues to carry on the business of banking. In addition, the balance of the pre-1988 bad debt reserves continue to be subject to provisions of present law referred to below that require recapture in the case of certain excess distributions to shareholders. Distributions. To the extent that the Bank makes "nondividend distributions" to the Company, such distributions will be considered to result in distributions from the balance of its bad debt reserve as of December 31, 1987 (or a lesser amount if the Bank's loan portfolio decreased since December 31, 1987) and then from the supplemental reserve for losses on loans ("Excess Distributions"), and an amount based on the Excess Distributions will be included in the Bank's taxable income. Nondividend distributions include distributions in excess of the Bank's current and accumulated earnings and profits, distributions in redemption of stock and distributions in partial or complete liquidation. However, dividends paid out of the Bank's current or accumulated earnings and profits, as calculated for federal income tax purposes, will not be considered to result in a distribution from the Bank's bad debt reserve. The amount of additional taxable income created from an Excess Distribution is an amount that, when reduced by the tax attributable to the income, is equal to the amount of the distribution. Thus, if, after the Conversion, the Bank makes a "nondividend distribution," then approximately one and one-half times the Excess Distribution would be includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes, assuming a 34% corporate income tax rate (exclusive of state and local taxes). See "Regulation" for limits on the payment of dividends by the Bank. The Bank does not intend to pay dividends that would result in a recapture of any portion of its tax bad debt reserve. Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax. The Code imposes a tax on alternative minimum taxable income ("AMTI") at a rate of 20%. The excess of the tax bad debt reserve deduction using the percentage of taxable income method over the deduction that would have been allowable under the experience method is treated as a preference item for purposes of computing the AMTI. In addition, only 90% of AMTI can be offset by net operating loss carryovers. AMTI is increased by an amount equal to 75% of the amount by which the Bank's adjusted current earnings exceeds its AMTI (determined without regard to this preference and prior to reduction for net operating losses). For taxable years beginning after December 31, 1986, and before January 1, 1996, an environmental tax of 0.12% of the excess of 29 AMTI (with certain modification) over $2.0 million is imposed on corporations, including the Bank, whether or not an Alternative Minimum Tax is paid. Dividends-Received Deduction. The Company may exclude from its income 100% of dividends received from the Bank as a member of the same affiliated group of corporations. The corporate dividends-received deduction is generally 70% in the case of dividends received from unaffiliated corporations with which the Company and the Bank will not file a consolidated tax return, except that if the Company or the Bank owns more than 20% of the stock of a corporation distributing a dividend, then 80% of any dividends received may be deducted. Audits. The Company, the Bank and its consolidated subsidiary have been audited or their books closed without audit by the IRS with respect to consolidated federal income tax returns through March 31, 1994. See Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Annual Report for additional information regarding income taxes of the Bank. State Taxation -------------- South Carolina has adopted the Code as it relates to savings banks, effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 1986. The Bank is subject to South Carolina income tax at the rate of 6%. The Bank has not been audited by the State of South Carolina during the past five years. The Corporation's income tax returns have not been audited by federal or state authorities within the last five years. For additional information regarding income taxes, see Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Annual Report. ITEM 2.

Net income for our most recent fiscal year ending March 31, 2001 increased 5.3% to $2.1 million or $1.27 per share compared to $2.0 million or $1.20 per share, on a split adjusted basis, for our fiscal year ending March 31, 2000. In addition, as of March 31, 2001, total assets reached a record high of over $330 million and total loans reached a record high of over $230 million. Recent regulatory reports show Security Federal Bank to be the home financing leader in our market area. Small business lending also continues to be one of our strengths. Our asset growth during the year was primarily funded by deposits which increased 12.5% to over $257 million. In view of our record earnings, your Board of Directors approved a dividend of $.02 per share which was paid on June 15, 2001 to shareholders of record as of May 31, 2001. This represented the 42nd consecutive quarterly dividend paid since the Bank's conversion to a stock form of ownership in 1987. The highlight of our year was the opening of our West Columbia branch office in December 2000. This branch offers all banking services including mortgage lending, financial counseling, investment and insurance products. Under the leadership of Regional President Steve Nivens, this office has gotten off to a fantastic start with excellent growth in both loans and deposits. West Columbia became our eleventh full service branch. We recently began offering on-line banking and automatic bill payment services. These services allow our customers to bank from the convenience of their home 24 hours per day, seven days per week. Our web site address is WWW.SECURITYFEDERALBANK.COM. We feel this site is informative, graphically pleasing, and very easy to navigate. Please check us out on the web. During the year, we expanded our line of financial services by offering financial planning, plus additional investment and insurance products. We intend to continue to expand these financial products plus add trust services during the next year which will round us out as a one-stop financial services provider. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our many fine and dedicated employees. They are the ones who truly make Security Federal a community bank. Thanks also to all of you for your continued support. We appreciate you banking with us. Be sure to mention us to your friends and relatives as we all benefit from your referrals.

The investment and other activities of the parent company, Security Federal Corporation (the Company), have had no significant impact on the results of operations for the periods presented in the financial statements. The information presented in the following discussion of financial results is indicative of the activities of Security Federal Bank (the Bank), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Bank is a federally chartered thrift that was founded in 1922. The principal business of the Bank is accepting deposits from the general public and originating consumer and commercial business loans as well as mortgage loans that enable borrowers to purchase or refinance one-to-four family residential real estate. The Bank also originates construction loans on single-family residences; multi-family dwellings and projects; commercial real estate; and loans for the acquisition, development and construction of residential subdivisions and commercial projects. The Bank's net income is dependent on its interest rate spread which is the difference between the average yield earned on its loan and investment portfolios and the average rate paid on its deposits and borrowings. The Bank's interest spread is impacted by interest rates, deposit flows, and loan demands. Levels of non-interest income and operating expense are also significant factors in earnings. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This document, including information included or incorporated by reference, contents, and future filings by the Company on Form 10-K, Form 10Q, and Form 8-K, and future oral and written statements by the Company and its management may contain forward-looking statements about Security Federal Corporation and its subsidiaries which we believe are within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements with respect to anticipated future operating and financial performance; growth opportunities; interest rates; acquisition and divestiture opportunities; and synergies, efficiencies, cost-savings, and funding advantages expected to be realized from prior acquisitions. Words such as "may," "could," "should," "would," "believe," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "plan," and similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements by the Company and its management are based on beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, estimates, and intentions of Management and are not guarantees of future performance. The Company disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements based on the occurrence of future events, the receipt of new information, or otherwise. The important factors we discuss below and elsewhere in this document, identified in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and presented by our Management from time to time could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements made in this document. ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT The Bank's program of asset and liability management seeks to limit the Bank's vulnerability to material and prolonged increases or decreases in interest rates, or "interest rate risk." The principal determinant of the exposure of the Bank's earnings to interest rate risk is the timing difference (gap) between the repricing or maturity of the Bank's interest-earning assets and the repricing or maturity of its interest-bearing liabilities. If the maturities of the Bank's assets and liabilities were perfectly matched and the interest rates borne by its assets and liabilities were equally flexible and moved concurrently (neither of which is the case), the impact on net interest income of any material and prolonged changes in interest rates would be minimal. The Bank's asset and liability policies are directed toward the objectives of increasing the interest rate sensitivity of the Bank's assets by shortening their maturities or periods to reprice while reducing the interest rate sensitivity of the Bank's interest-bearing liabilities by extending their maturities. The success of Management's strategy is evidenced by the composition of the loan portfolio that includes $135.4 million of adjustable rate consumer loans, commercial loans, and mortgage loans or approximately 55.3% of total gross loans at March 31, 2001. At March 31, 2001, the negative mismatch of interest-earning assets repricing or maturing within one year with interest-bearing liabilities repricing or maturing within one year was $107.2 million or 32.4% of total assets compared to $96.8 million or 31.8% at March 31, 2000. The increase in the negative gap is due to an increase in interest-bearing demand deposit accounts that are catagorized as repricing in the less than 3-month category and the popularity of the Bank's nine month certificate of deposit. 4 SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT, CONTINUED During the past year, the Bank originated approximately $37.0 million in adjustable rate residential real estate loans, which are generally held for investment and not sold. Also, as part of the Bank's asset liability program, the Bank originated a total of $51.9 million in consumer and commercial loans, which are usually short term in nature. During fiscal 2001, 93.4% of total loan originations were comprised of consumer, commercial, and adjustable rate mortgage loans compared to 94.5% of total originations in fiscal 2000. The Bank's portfolio of consumer and commercial loans was $120.8 million at March 31, 2001, $103.8 million at March 31, 2000, and $94.0 million at March 31, 1999. Consumer and commercial loans combined were 49.3% of total loans at March 31, 2001; 51.5% at March 31, 2000; and 58.4% at March 31, 1999. The Bank originated $6.3 million, $6.2 million, and $6.0 million in fixed rate residential loans of which most were short-term construction loans with terms of one year or less, and residential lot loans with terms of two to five years, in fiscal 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. At March 31, 2001, these fixed rate residential loans amounted to $34.1 million or 13.9% of the total loan portfolio compared to $13.4 million or 6.6% at the end of the previous fiscal year. The Bank sells virtually all its 15 year and 30 year fixed rate mortgage loans at origination. In fiscal 2001, the Bank decided to no longer service loans for Freddie Mac or other investors, because of the fixed cost of servicing those loans, while its portfolio of loans serviced for others was shrinking. Thus, during fiscal 2001, the Bank sold all of its new fixed originations exclusively on a service-released basis. The Bank sold $631,000 in fixed rate residential loans to secondary market agencies on a service-retained basis in fiscal 2000, $5.6 million in fiscal 1999, and $3.4 million in fiscal 1998. Fixed rate residential loans passed directly on to institutional investors including Freddie Mac, on a service-released basis, totaled $29.5 million in fiscal 2001, $16.0 million in fiscal 2000, $28.1 million in fiscal 1999, and $7.9 million in fiscal 1998. Certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more (Jumbo Certificates) are normally considered to be interest rate sensitive because of their relatively short maturities. Many financial institutions have used Jumbo Certificates to manage interest rate sensitivity and liquidity. The Bank has not relied on Jumbo Certificates for liquidity or asset liability management. As of March 31, 2001, the Bank had $35.7 million outstanding in Jumbo Certificates compared to $19.1 million at March 31, 2000. The Bank was more aggressive on bidding for municipalities' and individual's Jumbo Certificates this past year. The following table sets forth the maturity schedule of certificates of deposit with balances of $100,000 or greater at March 31, 2001. Within 3 Months $ 5,737,000 AFTER 3, WITHIN 6 MONTHS 9,435,000 AFTER 6, WITHIN 12 MONTHS 16,529,000 AFTER 12 MONTHS 4,019,000 -------------- $ 35,720,000 ============== A negative gap position is expected to have an adverse effect on net interest income during periods of rising interest rates. A negative one-year gap position occurs when the dollar amount of rate sensitive liabilities maturing or repricing within one year exceeds the dollar amount of rate sensitive assets maturing or repricing during that same period. As a result, during periods of rising interest rates, the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities will increase faster than interest received from earning assets, thus reducing net interest income. The reverse is true in periods of declining interest rates resulting in an expected increase in net interest income. The table on the following page sets forth the Bank's interest-bearing liabilities and interest-earning assets being repriced or maturing within one year. The table on Page 7 presents the Bank's entire interest-bearing liabilities and interest-earning assets into repricing or maturity time periods. Both tables present adjustable rate loans in the periods they are scheduled to reprice, not mature. Both tables also assume investments reprice at the earlier of maturity; the likely call date, if any, based on current interest rates; or the next scheduled interest rate change, if any. NOW accounts, money market accounts, and regular savings accounts are assumed to reprice in the less than three-month category. 5 SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT, CONTINUED The following table sets forth the Bank's interest-bearing liabilities and interest-earning assets repricing or maturing within one year.

In evaluating the Bank's exposure to interest rate risk, certain shortcomings inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing tables must be considered. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods of repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Additionally, the interest rates of certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates. Loan repayment rates and withdrawals of deposits will likely differ substantially from the assumed rates previously set forth in the event of significant changes in interest rates due to the option of borrowers to prepay their loans and the ability of depositors to withdraw funds prior to maturity. Further, certain assets, such as adjustable rate mortgages, have features that restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis as well as over the life of the asset. 7 SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations FINANCIAL CONDITION Total assets at March 31, 2001 were $330.6 million, an increase of $25.8 million or 8.5% from March 31, 2000. This increase was the result of an increase in net loans receivable, offset, in part, by a decrease in investment securities. Total net loans receivable were $231.0 million at March 31, 2001; an increase of $38.0 million or 19.7% from the prior year. Residential real estate loans increased $23.4 million to $121.5 million at March 31, 2001 due primarily to an increase in residential construction and lot loans. Security Federal sells virtually all its long-term fixed rate mortgages, while retaining its adjustable rate mortgages originated. Consumer loans increased $4.6 million while commercial business and commercial real estate loans increased to $74.5 million at fiscal year end from $62.1 million at March 31, 2000; an increase of $12.4 million or 20.1%. Loans held for sale increased $950,000 at March 31, 2001 from the previous fiscal year end. Real estate acquired in settlement of loans (REO) decreased $238,000 to $94,000 at March 31, 2001 from $332,000 at fiscal year end 2000. REO at March 31, 2001 consisted primarily of single-family homes. Real estate acquired for development was liquidated as the remaining lots on the Company's real estate partnership were completely sold by March 31, 2001. Non-accrual loans totaled $183,000 at March 31, 2001 compared to $890,000 a year earlier. The Bank classifies all loans as non-accrual when they become 90 days or more delinquent. The Bank had six loans totaling $587,000 at March 31, 2001 that were troubled debt restructurings compared to 3 loans of $784,000 at March 31, 2000. None of the trouble debt restructurings at March 31, 2001 were more than 90 days delinquent. One $16,000 unsecured commercial loan was sixty days delinquent. The other five troubled debt restructurings consisted of a $4,000 unsecured consumer loan, a $6,000 automobile loan, a $19,000 loan secured by a certificate of deposit, a $53,000 commercial loan secured by two rental properties, and a $489,000 commercial loan secured by commercial real estate. All troubled debt restructurings are also considered impaired. At March 31, 2001, the Bank held $789,000 in impaired loans compared to $897,000 at March 31, 2000. The Bank reviews its loan portfolio and loan loss allowance on a monthly basis. Future additions to the Bank's allowance for loan losses are dependent on, among other things, 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 constantly monitors its loan portfolio for the impact of local economic changes. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.19% at March 31, 2001 compared to 1.09% at March 31, 2000. Deposits at the Bank increased $28.6 million or 12.5% to $257.4 million at March 31, 2001 from $228.8 million at March 31, 2000. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) decreased to $42.7 million at March 31, 2001; down from $50.6 million a year earlier, a decrease of $7.9 million. The Bank was able to pay off advances due to the magnitude of growth in deposits. Other borrowed money increased $1.2 million to $3.4 million during the year compared to $2.2 million at March 31, 2000. Total shareholders' equity was $23.5 million at March 31, 2001; an increase of $3.7 million or 18.9% compared to $19.8 million a year earlier. The increase was attributable to net income of $2.1 million and an increase of $2.0 in unrealized net gain on securities available for sale, offset partially by an increase in the indirect guarantee of the ESOP debt of $228,000, and $135,000 in dividends paid. 8 SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. It distinguishes between the changes related to higher or lower outstanding balances and the changes due to the volatility of interest rates. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest- bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to: 1) changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by old volume); 2) changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by old rate); and 3) net change (the sum of the prior columns). For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

10 SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Comparison of the Years Ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 GENERAL The Company earned record net income of $2.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2001, an increase of $106,000 or 5.3% over earnings of $2.0 million for the year ended March 31, 2000. This marked the fourth consecutive year of record earnings. The primary reason for the increased earnings was an increase in net interest income and other income offset in part by increases in the provision for loan losses and general and administrative expenses. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income increased $854,000 to $10.3 million in fiscal 2001 compared to $9.4 million in fiscal 2000 despite a 16 basis point decline in the net yield on interest-earning assets. The increase in income was accomplished by increasing the average of total loans by $43.1 million in fiscal 2001. The Bank has also been successful in attracting demand, money market, and certificate of deposit accounts. Interest income on loans increased $4.3 million as residential real estate loans and commercial loans both increased during the year. The yield of the loan portfolio during fiscal 2001 increased 35 basis points. Interest income on investment securities, mortgage-backed securities, and other securities increased $32,000 during fiscal 2001. The yield during the year increased 37 basis points as lower yielding investments matured and adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities rolled into higher rates, but the average balance of the investment portfolio decreased $5.1 million. Interest expense on deposits increased $1.4 million during the year ended March 31, 2001 compared to the year ended March 31, 2000. Average interest bearing deposits increased $8.7 million and the average cost of those deposits increased fifty basis points during the year due to increases in market interest rates during the first 9 months of the year. Interest expense on FHLB advances and other borrowings increased $2.0 during fiscal 2001 due to the average amount of borrowings increasing $28.0 million. The average cost of borrowings increased 76 basis points comparing fiscal 2001 to fiscal 2000. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The Company's provision for loan losses increased $175,000 to $925,000 during the year ended March 31, 2001. The amount of the provision is determined by Management's on-going monthly analysis of the loan portfolio. Non-accrual loans, which are loans delinquent 90 days or more, were $183,000 at March 31, 2001 compared to $890,000 at March 31, 2000. Net charge-offs were $262,000 in fiscal 2001 compared to $344,000 in fiscal 2000. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans at March 31, 2001 was 1.19% compared to 1.09% at March 31, 2000. Management felt it prudent to increase the provision due to the predicted general slowing of the national economy, the cyclical nature of economic business cycles, and the entrance into a new loan market for the Bank. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate based on Management's estimates of the losses inherent in the loan portfolio, although there can be no guarantee as to these estimates. In addition, bank regulatory agencies may require additions to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments and estimates as part of their examination process. OTHER INCOME Other income increased $444,000 or 19.3% from $2.3 million during fiscal 2000 to $2.7 million during fiscal 2001. Gain on sale of loans increased $239,000 to $496,000 during fiscal 2001 compared to $257,000 during fiscal 2000 due to a $13.3 million or 80.2% increase in originations of loans held for sale and a concerted effort to better manage the Bank's secondary market sales. The origination trend changed due to the decrease in mortgage rates during the year. Loan servicing fees increased $12,000. The Bank sold its remaining portfolio of loans serviced for others in January 2001 for a profit on sale of approximately $400,000. Service fees on deposit accounts decreased $42,000 due to the interest credit rate used by commercial accounts to offset service fees increasing the first nine months of the year. Income from real estate operations decreased $24,000 as the Company sold its remaining lots held for development in March 2001. Other miscellaneous income decreased $106,000 or 24.1% during fiscal 2001 due primarily to a decrease in the commissions earned on annuity and investment products. 11 SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES General and administrative expenses increased $1.0 million or 12.8% to $8.9 million during the year ended March 31, 2001 compared to $7.9 million during the same period one year earlier. Salaries and employee benefits increased $602,000 or 14.4% due to the opening of the West Columbia branch office and normal annual salary adjustments. Occupancy expense increased $170,000 or 32.4% also due to the new branch office. Advertising expense increased $35,000 during fiscal 2001 due to the "Loan on Us" campaign. Depreciation and maintenance of equipment expense increased $126,000 or 14.1% as the Bank added on-line banking and bill payment software and software and hardware purchased for the year 2000 was depreciated for a full year. Other miscellaneous expenses encompassing REO expense, legal, professional, and consulting expenses, stationery and office supplies, and other sundry expenses increased $106,000 or 7.0% during fiscal 2001 due primarily to slight increases in most of the above mentioned expenses and the opening of a new branch office. INCOME TAXES Income taxes increased $11,000 during the year ended March 31, 2001 compared to the year ended March 31, 2000 due to an increase in taxable income. The effective tax rate was 34% for fiscal 2001 and 35% for fiscal 2000. 12 SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Comparison of the Years Ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 GENERAL The Company earned record net income of $2.0 million for the year ended March 31, 2000, an increase of $215,000 or 11.9% over earnings of $1.8 million for the year ended March 31, 1999. This marked the third consecutive year of record earnings and the fourth consecutive year for record operating earnings. The primary reason for the increased earnings was an increase in net interest income and a decrease in general and administrative expenses, offset partially by a decrease in other income. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income increased $753,000 to $9.4 million in fiscal 2000 compared to $8.7 million in fiscal 1999 despite a 42 basis point decline in the net yield on interest-earning assets. The increase was accomplished by increasing the average of total loans by $28.6 million in fiscal 2000. The Bank has also been successful in attracting demand, money market, and savings accounts. Interest income on loans increased $1.5 million as residential real estate loans and commercial loans both increased during the year. The yield of the loan portfolio during fiscal 2000 decreased 61 basis points as residential real estate loans, which are generally the lowest yielding loans in the portfolio, grew faster than commercial and consumer loans. Interest income on investment securities, mortgage-backed securities, and other securities increased $1.0 million during fiscal 2000. The yield during the year decreased 12 basis points, but the average balance of the investment portfolio increased $18.4 million. Interest expense on deposits increased $881,000 during the year ended March 31, 2000 compared to the year ended March 31, 1999. The average of interest bearing deposits increased $30.1 million as the average cost of those deposits decreased four basis points during the year. Interest expense on FHLB advances and other borrowings increased $860,000 during fiscal 2000 due to the average amount of borrowings increasing $16.1 million. The average cost of borrowings decreased 26 basis points comparing fiscal 2000 to fiscal 1999. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The Company's provision for loan losses increased $150,000 to $750,000 during the year ended March 31, 2000. The amount of the provision is determined by Management's on-going monthly analysis of the loan portfolio. Non-accrual loans, which are loans delinquent 90 days or more, were $890,000 at March 31, 2000 compared to $1.2 million at March 31, 1999. Net charge-offs were $344,000 in fiscal 2000 compared to $397,000 in fiscal 1999. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans at March 31, 2000 was 1.09% compared to 1.12% at March 31, 1999. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate based on Management's estimates of the losses inherent in the loan portfolio, although there can be no guarantee as to these estimates. In addition, bank regulatory agencies may require additions to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments and estimates as part of their examination process. OTHER INCOME Other income decreased $345,000 or 13.1% from $2.6 million during fiscal 1999 to $2.3 million during fiscal 2000. Gain on sale of loans decreased $413,000 to $257,044 during fiscal 2000 compared to $669,757 during fiscal 1999 due to the mix of single-family mortgages shifting to adjustable rate loans, which are held in portfolio, from fixed rate mortgages, which are sold to investors. The origination trend changed due to the increase in mortgage rates during the year. Loan servicing fees declined $35,000 as the portfolio of loans serviced for others decreased. Service fees on deposit accounts increased $232,000 due to an increase in the number of demand deposit accounts. Income from real estate operations decreased $38,000. Other miscellaneous income decreased $96,000 or 14.4% during fiscal 2000 due primarily to a decrease in the net gain on sale of REO. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES General and administrative expenses decreased $117,000 or 1.5% to $7.8 million during the year ended March 31, 2000 compared to $7.9 million during the same period one year earlier. Salaries and employee benefits increased $100,000 or 2.5% due to normal annual salary adjustments. Occupancy expense increased $30,000 or 6.0%. Advertising expense decreased $169,000 during fiscal 2000. Depreciation and maintenance of equipment expense increased $88,000 or 11.0% as new ancillary software and personal computers were purchased in preparation for the year 2000. Other miscellaneous expenses encompassing REO expense, legal, professional, and consulting expenses, stationery and office supplies, and other sundry expenses decreased $165,000 or 9.8% during fiscal 2000. 13 SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations INCOME TAXES Income taxes increased $159,000 during the year ended March 31, 2000 compared to the year ended March 31, 1999 due to an increase in taxable income. The effective tax rate was 35% for fiscal 2000 and 34% for fiscal 1999. 14 SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations REGULATORY CAPITAL The following table reconciles the Bank's shareholders' equity to its various regulatory capital positions: March 31, --------------------------------- 2001 2000 --------------- --------------- (In Thousands) Shareholders' Equity (1) (2) $ 23,136 $ 21,043 Reduction For Goodwill And Other Intangibles 650 1,116 --------------- --------------- Tangible Capital 22,486 19,927 --------------- --------------- Qualifying Core Deposit Intangibles 470 559 Core Capital 22,956 20,486 SUPPLEMENTAL CAPITAL 2,582 2,121 LESS ASSETS REQUIRED TO BE DEDUCTED 227 103 =============== =============== TOTAL RISK-BASED CAPITAL $ 25,311 $ 22,504 =============== =============== (1) FOR 2001 AND 2000, EXCLUDES UNREALIZED GAINS OF $348,000 AND INCLUDES UNREALIZED LOSSES OF $1,629,000, RESPECTIVELY ON AVAILABLE FOR SALE SECURITIES.

The Bank's primary sources of funds include loan repayments, loan sales, increased deposits, advances from the FHLB, and cash flow generated from operations. The need for funds varies among periods depending on funding needs as well as the rate of amortization and prepayment on loans. The use of FHLB advances varies depending on their relative costs. The principal use of the Bank's funds is the origination of mortgages and other loans and the purchase of investments and mortgage-backed securities. Loan originations were $95.2 million in fiscal 2001 compared to $102.5 million in fiscal 2000 and $87.7 million in fiscal 1999. Purchases of investments and mortgage-backed securities were $9.5 million in fiscal 2001 compared to $30.4 million in fiscal 2000 and $69.4 million in fiscal 1999. Outstanding loan commitments for which the Bank has not obtained prior commitments to purchase from other institutional investors amounted to $422,000 at March 31, 2001 compared to $1.4 million at March 31, 2000. In addition, unused lines of credit on home equity loans, credit cards, and other loans amounted to $27.4 million at March 31, 2001. Management does not anticipate that the percentage of funds drawn on unused lines of credit will increase substantially over amounts currently utilized. Funding of undisbursed loans-in-process of $10.7 million at March 31, 2001 and commitments to originate loans and future advances on lines of credit are expected to be provided from loan amortizations and prepayments, deposit inflows, and short-term borrowing capacity. 15 SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES, CONTINUED The Bank is required under applicable Federal regulations to maintain a liquidity ratio at specified levels that are subject to change. Currently, a minimum of 4.0% of the combined total of deposits and certain borrowings must be maintained in the form of cash or eligible investments. At March 31, 2001, the Bank's liquidity ratio was approximately 17%. Management believes that liquidity during fiscal 2002 can be met through the Bank's deposit base and borrowing ability and from maturing investments. See "Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows" in the consolidated financial statements. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." All derivatives are to be measured at fair value and recognized in the balance sheet as assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 138 "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities" was issued in June 2000 and amends the accounting and reporting standards of SFAS No. 133 for certain derivative instruments and certain hedging activities. The two statements are to be adopted concurrently and are effective for fiscal years and quarters beginning after June 15, 2000. Adoption of SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 138 did not have a material impact on the presentation of the Company's financial results or financial position. Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. 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 (GAAP) that 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. 16 SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES [GRAPHIC OMITTED] Elliott Davis, LLP Advisors-CPAs-Consutants One 10th Street, Suite 460 P.O.

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 and Nature of Operations ----------------------------------------------- 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 the Bank's wholly owned subsidiary, Security Financial Services Corporation ("SFSC"). The Bank is primarily engaged in the business of accepting savings and demand deposits and originating mortgage loans and other loans to individuals and small businesses for various personal and commercial purposes. SFSC consists primarily of investment brokerage services. Also included in the consolidation is a real estate partnership. The real estate partnership sold its remaining property in fiscal 2001. Thus, at March 31, 2001, the real estate partnership was liquidated. (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 ----------------------------------------- Investment securities, including mortgage-backed securities, are classified in 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 and 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 that are not considered to be held to maturity as available for sale. These type investments are stated at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in a separate component of shareholders' equity (accumulated other comprehensive income). Gains and losses from sales of investment and mortgage-backed securities available for sale are determined using the specific identification method. The Company has no trading securities. The Bank maintained liquid assets in excess of the amount required by regulations. The required amount is 4% of the average daily balances of deposits and certain borrowings. Liquid assets consist primarily of cash, time deposits, and certain investment securities. 23 SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED ------------------------------------------ (d) Allowance for Loan Losses ------------------------- The Company provides for loan losses using 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 fair 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 these 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 at the time of their examinations. The Company values impaired loans at the loan's fair value if it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the terms of the loan agreement at the present value of expected cash flows; the market price of the loan, if available; or the value of the underlying collateral. Expected cash flows are required to be discounted at the loan's effective interest rate. When the ultimate collectibility of an impaired loan's principal is in doubt, wholly or partially, all cash receipts are applied to principal. When this doubt does not exist, cash receipts are applied under the contractual terms of the loan agreement first to interest then to principal. Once the recorded principal balance has been reduced to zero, future cash receipts are applied to interest income to the extent that any interest has been foregone. Further cash receipts are recorded as recoveries of any amounts previously charged off. (e) Loans Held for Sale ------------------- Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair 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 (REO) ------------------------------------------------- REO 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 held 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 held for development and sale are recorded at the time of the 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. Fair values of real estate held 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 the projected cost to complete and dispose of the property from the estimated selling price and the estimated cost to hold the property to an expected date of sale. 24 SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED ------------------------------------------ (h) Premises and Equipment ---------------------- Premises and equipment are carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of premises and equipment is amortized on a straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the related asset. Estimated lives are 7-30 years for buildings and improvements and generally 5-10 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. (i) Income Taxes ------------ 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. Deferred taxes are provided for in differences in financial reporting bases for assets and liabilities compared with their tax bases. Basically, a current tax liability or asset is established for taxes presently payable or refundable and a deferred tax liability 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 in differences between the provision for loan losses for financial statement purposes and those allowed for income tax purposes. (j) Loan Fees and Costs Associated with Originating Loans ----------------------------------------------------- Loan fees received, net of 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 included in the balance sheet as "Other Assets" and 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 90 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 that are 90 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. 25 SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED ------------------------------------------ (m) Fair Value of Financial Instruments ----------------------------------- The Company discloses the fair value of on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments when it is practicable to do so. Fair values are based on quoted market prices, where available; on estimates of present value; or on other valuation techniques. These estimates are made at a specific point in time, are subjective in nature, and involve uncertainties and significant judgment. In addition, the Company does not disclose the fair value of non-financial instruments. Accordingly, the aggregate fair values presented do not represent the underlying fair value of the Company. Fair values for consolidated financial statement reporting purposes are estimated for loans with similar financial characteristics. These loans are segregated by the type of loan and consider credit risk, interest rate, and prepayment 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 Company'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 common shares outstanding during the period. The treasury stock method is used to compute the dilutive effect of stock options in the diluted weighted average number of common shares. All per share data has been restated to reflect the 2-for-1 stock splits issued during the years ended March 31, 2001 and March 31, 1999. (o) Use of Estimates ---------------- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (p) Recently Issued Accounting Standards ------------------------------------ In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." All derivatives are to be measured at fair value and recognized in the balance sheet as assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities" was issued in June 2000 and amends the accounting and reporting standards of SFAS No. 133 for certain derivative instruments and hedging activities. The two statements are to be adopted concurrently and are effective for fiscal years and quarters beginning after June 15, 2000. Adoption of SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 138 did not have a material impact on the presentation of the Company's financial results or financial position. Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. (q) Reclassifications ----------------- Certain amounts in prior years' consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current year classifications. 26 SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (2) INVESTMENT AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES, AVAILABLE FOR SALE ------------------------------------------------------------- The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses, and fair values of investment and mortgage-backed securities available for sale are as follows: March 31, 2001 ----------------------------------------------- Gross Gross Amortized Unrealized Unrealized Cost Gains Losses Fair value --------- ---------- ---------- ---------- GNMA Bond $1,975,022 -- -- 1,975,022 FHLB Securities 26,102,565 167,703 17,345 26,252,923 Federal Farm Credit Securities 4,971,771 50,839 -- 5,022,610 FHLMC Bonds 2,052,253 -- 13,368 2,038,885 Mortgage-Backed Securities 36,473,062 380,794 32,056 36,821,800 $71,574,673 599,336 62,769 72,111,240 ========== ======= ====== ========== March 31, 2000 ----------------------------------------------- Gross Gross Amortized Unrealized Unrealized Cost Gains Losses Fair value --------- ---------- ---------- ---------- U.S. Treasury Notes $ 999,613 $ 1,017 $ -- $1,000,630 FHLB Securities 42,776,873 -- 1,292,682 41,484,191 Federal Farm Credit Securities 9,957,106 -- 240,856 9,716,250 FHLMC Bond 2,049,882 -- 85,196 1,964,686 Mortgage-Backed Securities 35,662,761 1,293 1,009,160 34,654,894 --------- ---------- ---------- ---------- $91,446,235 $ 2,310 $2,627,894 $88,820,651 ========== ======= ========= ========== The amortized cost and fair value of investment and mortgage-backed securities available for sale at March 31, 2001 are shown below by contractual maturity.

(6) FHLB STOCK ---------- By law, every federally insured savings institution is required to invest in FHLB stock. No ready market exists for this stock and it has no quoted fair 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: 1) 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, 2) 1/20th 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 $3,431,000 as of March 31, 2001. 30 SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (7) REAL ESTATE OPERATIONS ---------------------- The Company participated in a real estate joint venture near Aiken; Willow Woods.

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 March 31, 2001 and 2000. 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 the net deferred tax asset can be supported based upon these criteria. 33 SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (10) INCOME TAXES, CONTINUED ----------------------- Retained earnings at March 31, 2001 include 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 bank, then these amounts may be subject to federal income tax at the then prevailing corporate tax rate. (11) REGULATORY MATTERS ------------------ The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements that are administered by Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and discretionary actions by regulators that could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgements by regulators with regard to components, risk weightings, and other factors. As of March 31, 2001 and 2000, the Bank was categorized as "well capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank had to maintain total risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital, and Tier 1 leverage ratios at 10%, 6%, and 5%, respectively. There are no conditions or events that Management believes have changed the Bank's classification. The Bank's regulatory capital amounts and ratios are as follows as of the dates indicated: To Be Well Capitalized Under Prompt For Corrective Action Actual Capital Adequacy Provisions ------------- ------------- ------------- Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio ------ ----- ------ ----- ------ ----- (Dollars in Thousands) MARCH 31, 2001 Tier 1 Risk-Based Core Capital (To Risk Weighted Assets) $22,956 11.1% 8,267 4.0% 12,400 6.0% Total Risk-Based Capital (To Risk Weighted Assets) $25,311 12.2% 16,533 8.0% 20,667 10.0% Tier 1 Leverage (Core) Capital (To Adjusted Tangible Assets) $22,956 6.9% 13,219 4.0% 16,523 5.0% Tangible Capital (To Tangible Assets) $22,486 6.8% 6,600 2.0% 16,500 5.0% MARCH 31, 2000 Tier 1 Risk-Based Core Capital (To Risk Weighted Assets) $20,486 11.3% $7,227 4.0% $10,840 6.0% Total Risk-Based Capital (To Risk Weighted Assets) $22,504 12.5% $14,453 8.0% $18,066 10.0% Tier 1 Leverage (Core) Capital (To Adjusted Tangible Assets) $20,486 6.7% $12,216 4.0% $15,270 5.0% Tangible Capital (To Tangible Assets) $19,927 6.5% $ 6,097 2.0% $15,242 5.0% The payment of dividends by the Company depends primarily on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Company. The payment of dividends by the Bank to the Company is subject to substantial restrictions and would require prior notice to, and approval of, the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS). 34 SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (12) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS ---------------------- The Company is participating in a multiple employer defined contribution employee benefit plan covering substantially all employees with one or more years of service. The Company matches a portion of the employees' contributions and has a discretionary profit sharing provision. The total employer contributions were $143,000, $130,000, and $120,000 for the years ended March 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company has an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) for the exclusive benefit of employee participants. The discretionary contributions for the years ended March 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 were $67,000, $57,000, and $61,000, respectively. The ESOP from time to time borrows funds from financial institutions to purchase the Company's stock. The balance of the loan was $415,000 and $187,000 at March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Company carries the debt as a liability and a reduction in equity, although the Company neither endorses nor guarantees the loan. The loan is repaid by Company contributions to the trustee, who in turn makes the loan payment to the financial institution. Certain officers of the Company participate in an incentive stock option plan. Options are granted at exercise prices not less than the fair value of the Company's common stock on the date of the grant. There were no shares granted in fiscal 1998 or fiscal 1999. Of the outstanding options at March 31, 2001, there were 67,000 shares of options granted during fiscal 2000. 63,000 shares were granted at an option price of $25 per share and 4,000 shares were granted at an option price of $27.50 per share. An additional 4,000 shares of options at $27.50 per share were granted during fiscal 2001. During fiscal 2001, 1,500 option shares at an option price of $25 per share were forfeited. At March 31, 2001, the Company had the following options outstanding: Grant Outstanding Option Earliest Date Expiration Date Options Price Exercisable Date --------- ----------- ------ ------------- ---------- 1/07/97 11,556 $ 8.00 1/1/02 to 12/31/02 to 1/1/06 12/31/06 10/19/99 63,000 $25.00 10/1/04 to 9/30/05 to 10/01/08 9/30/09 10/19/99 4,000 $ 27.50 10/01/03 9/30/04 4/18/00 2,000 $ 27.50 4/1/05 to 3/31/06 to 4/1/09 3/31/10 11/21/00 2,000 $27.50 12/1/05 to 11/30/06 to 12/1/09 11/30/10 The above options vest over ten years with the first vesting earned after five years and 20% vesting earned evenly in years six through ten except for the 4,000 shares granted on 10/19/99 which fully vest on 10/1/03. All options which vest must be exercised within one year of vesting. There were 9,000 options available for granting at March 31, 2001. 35 SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (12) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS, CONTINUED --------------------------------- The Company has elected the disclosure-only provision of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the stock option plan. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option plan been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards in fiscal 1997, consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share amounts as of March 31 would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below. 2001 2000 1999 ------------ ----------- ----------- Net Income, As Reported $ 2,127,434 2,021,213 $ 1,805,749 Net Income, Pro Forma $ 2,070,652 2,005,458 $ 1,802,583 Net Income Per Common Share (Basic), As Reported $ 1.27 2.41 $ 2.14 Net Income Per Common Share (Basic), Pro Forma $ 1.24 2.39 $ 2.14 Net Income Per Common Share (Diluted), As Reported $ 1.25 2.39 $ 2.13 Net Income Per Common Share (Diluted), Pro Forma $ 1.22 2.37 $ 2.13 The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for grants: Dividend yield of $.08 per share for options granted during the years ended 2001 and 2000 and $.055 for shares granted during the year ended 1997, expected volatility of 30% for options granted in 2001 and 2000 and 20% for options granted in1997, risk-free interest rate of 5.9%, and expected lives of 6-10 years. (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 $25.4 million and $22.0 million and letters of credit of $132,000 and $78,000 at March 31, 2001 and 2000, 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 $2.0 million and $1.5 million at March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Outstanding commitments on mortgage loans not yet closed amounted to $422,000 at March 31, 2001. 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, 2001, the Bank had outstanding commitments to sell approximately $2.2 million of loans. (14) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS -------------------------- At March 31, 2001, 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, 1999, was $460,000. There were $32,000 in additional loans to executive officers whose individual indebtedness exceeded $60,000 during fiscal 2001. Repayments on these loans totaled approximately $95,000. Loans to all employees, officers, and directors of the Company, in the aggregate constituted approximately 5.90% of the total shareholders' equity of the Company at March 31, 2001. 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 $28,000, $27,000, and $27,000 for rent for the years ended March 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Management is of the opinion that the transactions with respect to office rent are made on terms that are comparable to those which would be made with unaffiliated persons. 36 (15) SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (PARENT COMPANY ONLY) ------------------------------------------------------------------- The following is condensed financial information of Security Federal Corporation (Parent Company only).

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 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. Because 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. 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 values, loan servicing portfolios, 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. Fair value methods and assumptions are as follows: Cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposit in the FHLB, certificate of deposit in another bank and FHLB stock - the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of the fair value. Investment securities, and mortgage-backed securities - fair value is based on available quoted market prices or quoted market prices for similar securities if a quoted market price is not available. Loans - fair value for fixed and adjustable rate loans is estimated based upon discounted future cash flows using discount rates comparable to rates currently offered for such loans. Deposits - the fair value of time deposits is estimated using rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The fair value of all other deposit account types is the amount payable on demand at year-end. FHLB advances and note payables - fair value is estimated based on the current rates offered for debt with the same remaining maturities. Commitments to extend credit and standby letter of credit -variable rate credit commitments are subject to minimal interest risk exposure since the rates periodically (generally one year or less) adjust to market. Fixed rate loan commitments do not represent significant interest rate risk exposure as these loans are typically sold. 39 SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES SHAREHOLDERS INFORMATION ANNUAL MEETING The annual meeting of shareholders will be held at 2:00 p.m., Tuesday, July 17, 2001 at the University of South Carolina - Aiken, Business and Educational Building, Room 116, 471 University Parkway, Aiken, SC. STOCK LISTING The Company's stock is traded over the counter and trades infrequently. PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK The table below shows the range of high and low bid prices as reported by the Robinson-Humphrey Company, Inc., located in Aiken, SC. These prices represent actual transactions and do not include retail markups, markdowns or commissions. The Robinson-Humphrey Company creates a market for the stock. Quarter Ending High Low ------------------- -------------- -------------- 06-30-99 $ 25.00 $ 22.50 09-30-99 $ 25.75 $ 25.00 12-31-99 $ 30.00 $ 25.00 03-31-00 $ 30.00 $ 30.00 06-30-00 $ 30.00 $ 22.50 09-30-00 $ 27.50 $ 27.50 12-31-00 $ 27.56 $ 27.50 03-31-01 $ 30.00 $ 28.00 As of March 31, 2001, the Company had approximately 274 shareholders and 1,669,901 outstanding shares of common stock. DIVIDENDS The first quarterly dividend on the stock was paid to shareholders on March 15, 1991. Dividends will be paid upon the determination of the Board of Directors that such payment is consistent with the long-term interest of the Company. The factors affecting this determination include the Company's current and projected earnings, operating results, financial condition, regulatory restrictions, future growth plans and other relevant factors. The Company declared and paid dividends of $0.02 per share, on a split-adjusted-basis, for each of the four quarters of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. There was a 2-for-1 stock split in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2001 and 1999. The ability of the Company to pay dividends depends primarily on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Company. The Bank may not declare or pay a cash dividend on its stock or repurchase shares of its stock if the offset thereof would be to cause its regulatory capital to be reduced below the amount required for the liquidation account or to meet applicable regulatory capital requirements. Pursuant to the OTS regulations, Tier 1 Associations (associations that before and after the proposed distribution meet or exceed their fully phased-in capital requirements) may make capital distributions during any calendar year equal to 100% of net income for the year-to-date plus 50% of the amount by which the association's total capital exceeds its fully phased-in capital requirement as measured at the beginning of the capital year. However, a Tier 1 Association deemed to be in need of more than normal supervision by the OTS may be downgraded to a Tier 2 or Tier 3 Association as a result of such a determination. The Bank is also required to give the OTS 30 days notice prior to the declaration of a dividend. Unlike the Bank, there is no regulatory restriction on the payment of dividends by the Company. However, it is subject to the requirements of South Carolina. South Carolina generally prohibits the Company from paying dividends if, after giving effect to a proposed dividend, 1) the Company would be unable to pay its debts as they become due in the normal course of business, or 2) the Company's total assets would be less than its total liabilities plus the sum that would be needed to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of shareholders whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the dividend. The ability of the Company to pay dividends depends primarily on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Company. 40 SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES SHAREHOLDERS INFORMATION ANNUAL AND OTHER REPORTS The Company is required to file an annual report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended March 31, 2001 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
