(803) 641-3000


ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
July 19, 2007

        The Board of Directors of Security Federal Corporation is using this proxy statement to solicit proxies from our shareholders for use at the annual meeting of shareholders. We are first mailing this proxy statement and the enclosed form of proxy to our shareholders on or about June 21, 2007.

        The information provided in this proxy statement relates to Security Federal Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Security Federal Bank. Security Federal Corporation may also be referred to as "Security Federal" and Security Federal Bank may also be referred to as the "Bank." References to "we," "us" and "our" refer to Security Federal and, as the context requires, Security Federal Bank.


INFORMATION ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING

        Our annual meeting will be held as follows:

        Date:        Thursday, July 19, 2007
        Time:       2:00 p.m., Eastern time
        Place:      City of Aiken Municipal Conference Center, 215 The Alley, Aiken, South Carolina

Matters to Be Considered at the Annual Meeting

        At the meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote upon the following proposal:

        Proposal 1.        Election of three directors of Security Federal Corporation for three-year terms.

We also will transact any other business that may properly come before the annual meeting. As of the date of this proxy statement, we are not aware of any other business to be presented for consideration at the annual meeting other than the matters described in this proxy statement.

Who is Entitled to Vote?

        We have fixed the close of business on June 12, 2007 as the record date for shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at our annual meeting. Only holders of record of Security Federal's common stock on that date are entitled to notice of and to vote at the annual meeting. You are entitled to one vote for each share of Security Federal common stock you own. On the record date, there were 2,609,474 shares of Security Federal common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the annual meeting.

How Do I Vote at the Annual Meeting?

        Proxies are solicited to provide all shareholders of record on the voting record date an opportunity to vote on matters scheduled for the annual meeting and described in these materials. You are a shareholder of record if your shares of Security Federal common stock are held in your name. If you are a beneficial owner of Security Federal common stock held by a broker, bank or other nominee (i.e., in "street name"), please see the instructions in the following question.

<PAGE>

        Shares of Security Federal common stock can only be voted if the shareholder is present in person or by proxy at the annual meeting. To ensure your representation at the annual meeting, we recommend you vote by proxy even if you plan to attend the annual meeting. You can always change your vote at the meeting if you are a shareholder of record.

        Voting instructions are included on your proxy card. Shares of Security Federal common stock represented by properly executed proxies will be voted by the individuals named on the proxy card in accordance with the shareholder's instructions. Where properly executed proxies are returned to us with no specific instruction as how to vote at the annual meeting, the persons named in the proxy will vote the shares "FOR" the election of each of our director nominees. If any other matters are properly presented at the annual meeting for action, the persons named in the enclosed proxy and acting thereunder will have the discretion to vote on these matters in accordance with their best judgment. We do not currently expect that any other matters will be properly presented for action at the annual meeting.

        You may receive more than one proxy card depending on how your shares are held. For example, you may hold some of your shares individually, some jointly with your spouse and some in trust for your children. In this case, you will receive three separate proxy cards to vote.

What if My Shares Are Held in Street Name?

        If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in street name by a broker, your broker, as the record holder of the shares, is required to vote the shares in accordance with your instructions. If your common stock is held in street name, you will receive instructions from your broker that you must follow in order to have your shares voted. Your broker may allow you to deliver your voting instructions via the telephone or the Internet. Please see the instruction form that accompanies this proxy statement. If you do not give instructions to your broker, your broker may nevertheless vote the shares with respect to discretionary items, but will not be permitted to vote your shares with respect to non-discretionary items, pursuant to current industry practice. In the case of non-discretionary items, shares not voted are treated as "broker non-votes."

        If your shares are held in street name and you wish to change your voting instructions after you have returned your voting instruction form to your broker, you must contact your broker. If your shares are held in street name, you will need proof of ownership to be admitted to the annual meeting. A recent brokerage statement or letter from the record holder of your shares are examples of proof of ownership. If you want to vote your shares of common stock held in street name in person at the annual meeting, you will have to get a written proxy in your name from the broker, bank or other nominee who holds your shares.

How Will My Shares of Common Stock Held in the Employee Stock Ownership Plan Be Voted?

        We maintain an employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP") for the benefit of our employees. Each ESOP participant may instruct the ESOP trustee how to vote the shares of Security Federal common stock allocated to his or her account under the ESOP by completing the proxy card, which represents a voting instruction to the ESOP trustee. If an ESOP participant properly executes the voting instruction card, the ESOP trustee will vote the participant's shares in accordance with the participant's instructions. Shares allocated to participants' accounts for which no voting instructions are received will be voted by the trustee in the same proportion as shares for which the trustee has received voting instructions. As of the close of business on the voting record date, 88,776 shares have been allocated to participants' accounts and there are no unallocated shares remaining.

How Many Shares Must Be Present to Hold the Meeting?

        A quorum must be present at the meeting for any business to be conducted. The presence at the meeting, in person or by proxy, of at least a majority of the shares of Security Federal common stock entitled to vote at the annual meeting as of the record date will constitute a quorum. Proxies received but marked as abstentions or broker non-votes will be included in the calculation of the number of shares considered to be present at the meeting.

2

<PAGE>

What if a Quorum Is Not Present at the Meeting?

        If a quorum is not present at the scheduled time of the meeting, a majority of the shareholders present or represented by proxy may adjourn the meeting until a quorum is present. The time and place of the adjourned meeting will be announced at the time the adjournment is taken, and no other notice will be given unless the meeting is adjourned for more than 30 days or a new record date is set. An adjournment will have no effect on the business that may be conducted at the meeting.

Vote Required to Approve Proposal 1: Election of Directors

        Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast, in person or by proxy, at the annual meeting by holders of Security Federal common stock. Accordingly, the three nominees for election as directors who receive the highest number of votes actually cast will be elected. Pursuant to our articles of incorporation, shareholders are not permitted to cumulate their votes for the election of directors. Votes may be cast for or withheld from each nominee. Votes that are withheld and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the election because the nominee receiving the greatest number of votes will be elected. Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" the election of each of its director nominees.

May I Revoke My Proxy?

        You may revoke your proxy before it is voted by:

  • submitting a new proxy with a later date;


  • notifying the Secretary of Security Federal in writing before the annual meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or


  • voting in person at the annual meeting.

Any written notice revoking a proxy should be delivered to Robert E. Alexander, Secretary, Security Federal Corporation, 238 Richland Avenue, NW, Aiken, South Carolina 29801.

        If you plan to attend the annual meeting and wish to vote in person, we will give you a ballot at the annual meeting. However, if your shares are held in street name, you must bring a validly executed proxy from the nominee indicating that you have the right to vote your shares.


SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

        The following table sets forth, as of June 12, 2007, the voting record date, information regarding share ownership of:

  • those persons or entities (or groups of affiliated persons or entities) known by management to beneficially own more than five percent of Security Federal's common stock other than directors and executive officers;


  • each director and director nominee of Security Federal;


  • each executive officer of Security Federal or Security Federal Bank named in the Summary Compensation Table appearing under "Executive Compensation" below (known as "named executive officers"); and


  • all current directors and executive officers of Security Federal and Security Federal Bank as a group.

3

<PAGE>

        Persons and groups who beneficially own in excess of five percent of Security Federal's common stock are required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and provide a copy to us, reports disclosing their ownership pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. To our knowledge, no other person or entity, other than those set forth below, beneficially owned more than five percent of the outstanding shares of Security Federal's common stock as of the close of business on the voting record date.

        Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. In accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, a person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of any shares of common stock if he or she has voting and/or investment power with respect to those shares. Therefore, the table below includes shares owned by spouses, other immediate family members in trust, shares held in retirement accounts or funds for the benefit of the named individuals, and other forms of ownership, over which shares the persons named in the table may possess voting and/or investment power. In addition, in computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of common stock subject to outstanding options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days after the voting record date are included in the number of shares beneficially owned by the person and are deemed outstanding for the purpose of calculating the person's percentage ownership. These shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

One-third of the directors are elected annually to serve for a three-year period or until their respective successors are elected and qualified.

If a nominee is unable to stand for election, the Board of Directors may either reduce the number of directors to be elected or select a substitute nominee. If a substitute nominee is selected, the proxy holders will vote your shares for the substitute nominee, unless you have withheld authority. At this time, we are not aware of any reason why a nominee might be unable to serve if elected.

MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MATTERS

Board of Directors

        The Boards of Directors of Security Federal and Security Federal Bank conduct their business through Board and committee meetings. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, the Security Federal Board of Directors held 12 regular meetings. The Board of Directors of the Bank generally meets on a monthly basis and during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, met 12 times. No director attended fewer than 75% of the total meetings of the Boards and committees on which he served during this period.

Committees and Committee Charters

        Security Federal's Board of Directors has standing Executive, Audit, Compensation, Proxy and Nominating Committees. Security Federal Bank's Board of Directors has standing Executive, Audit, Compensation, Loan and Review Committees. Security Federal's Audit and Nominating Committees have adopted written charters and although copies of these charters are not available on our website, they must be attached to the annual meeting proxy statement at least once every three years or when materially amended. The Nominating Committee charter is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix A. The Audit Committee charter was attached to last year's proxy statement.

Committees of the Security Federal Board of Directors

        The Executive Committee, comprised of Directors T. Clifton Weeks (Chairman), Toole, Alexander, Simmons, Verenes and Lindburg meets on an as needed basis to handle matters arising between Board meetings. This Committee met four times during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.

        The Audit Committee, comprised of Directors Moore (Chairman), Harry O. Weeks, Jr. and Clyburn, assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities. This Committee is responsible for reviewing our annual audited financial statements and any financial statements submitted to the public, appointment of the independent auditor and monitoring the independence and performance of our independent auditor and internal auditing department. The Board of Directors has determined that there is no "audit committee financial expert," as defined by the SEC; however, the Board believes that the current members of the Audit Committee are qualified to serve based on their collective experience and background. Each member of the Audit Committee is "independent," as defined under the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq"). Although Security Federal's common stock is not listed on Nasdaq, it has chosen to apply Nasdaq's definition of independence, as permitted by the SEC. This Committee met 7 times during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.

        The Compensation Committee, which also serves as the Stock Option Committee, is comprised of Directors T. Clifton Weeks (Chairman), Toole and Alexander. This Committee meets on an as needed basis and makes recommendations to the Board regarding annual contributions to certain benefit plans and salaries for officers and employees. Each member of the Committee is "independent," as defined by Nasdaq, with the exception of Mr. Weeks. This Committee also determines certain minor administrative matters related to certain employee benefit plans. This Committee met four times during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.

        The Proxy Committee, which is composed of the entire Board of Directors, is responsible for voting the proxies of Security Federal's shareholders. The Committee met once during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.

        The Nominating Committee, consisting of Directors Alexander (Chairman), Toole and T. Clifton Weeks, was formed to ensure that we maintain the highest standards and best practices in all critical areas relating to the management of our business. This Committee also selects nominees for the election of directors and develops a list of nominees for board vacancies. Each member of the Committee is "independent," as defined by Nasdaq, with the exception of Mr. Weeks. The Committee met once during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.

        The Nominating Committee met on April 19, 2007 to nominate directors for election at the meeting. Only those nominations made by the Committee or properly presented by shareholders will be voted upon at the meeting. In its deliberations for selecting candidates for nominees as director, the Nominating Committee considers the candidate's knowledge of the banking business and involvement in community, business and civic affairs, and also considers whether the candidate would provide for adequate representation of Security Federal Bank's market area. Any nominee for director made by the Committee must be highly qualified with regard to some or all these attributes. In searching for qualified director candidates to fill vacancies in the Board, the Committee solicits its current Board of Directors for names of potentially qualified candidates. Additionally, the Committee may request that members of the Board of Directors pursue their own business contacts for the names of potentially qualified candidates. The Committee would then consider the potential pool of director candidates, select the candidate the Committee believes best meets the then-current needs of the Board, and conduct a thorough investigation of the proposed candidate's background to ensure there is no past history that would cause the candidate not to be qualified to serve as a director of Security Federal. The Committee will consider director candidates recommended by Security Federal's shareholders. If a shareholder submits a proposed nominee, the Committee would consider the proposed nominee, along with any other proposed nominees recommended by members of Security Federal's Board of Directors, in the same manner in which the Committee would evaluate its nominees for director. For a description of the proper procedure for shareholder nominations, see "Shareholder Proposals and Nominations" in this proxy statement.

All actions of this Committee are reviewed and ratified by the entire Board. The Executive Committee met 13 times during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.

        The Loan Committee is composed of Directors Simmons (Chairman), T. Clifton Weeks, Toole, Alexander, Verenes and Lindburg.

is comprised of Directors T. Clifton Weeks (Chairman), Toole and Alexander. This Committee met twice during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.

        The Trust/Investments Committee consists of Directors Toole (Chairman), T. Clifton Weeks, Alexander, Simmons, Verenes and Lindburg. This Committee reviews and approves activities of Security Federal Trust, Inc. and Security Federal Investments, Inc., which are subsidiaries of Security Federal Bank. This Committee met 23 times during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.

Corporate Governance

        We are committed to establishing and maintaining high standards of corporate governance. The Board of Directors is cognizant of its responsibility to comply with the provisions contained in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the rules and regulations of the SEC adopted thereunder. The Board and its committees will continue to evaluate and improve our corporate governance principles and policies as necessary and as required.

        Code of Ethics. The Board of Directors has adopted a written Code of Ethics for Principal Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officers, and requires individuals to maintain the highest standards of professional conduct. You may obtain a copy of the Code of Ethics free of charge by writing to: Secretary, Security Federal Corporation, P.O. Box 810, Aiken, South Carolina 29802. In addition, the Code of Ethics was filed with the SEC as Exhibit 14 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.

        Communication with the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors maintains a process for shareholders to communicate with the Board of Directors. Shareholders wishing to communicate with the Board of Directors should send any communication to the Secretary, Security Federal Corporation, P.O. Box 810, Aiken, South Carolina 29802. Any communication must state the number of shares beneficially owned by the shareholder making the communication. The Secretary will forward such communication to the full Board of Directors or to any individual director or directors to whom the communication is directed unless the communication is unduly hostile, threatening, illegal or similarly inappropriate, in which case the Secretary has the authority to discard the communication or take appropriate legal action.

        Annual Meeting Attendance by Directors. We do not have a policy regarding Board member attendance at annual meetings of shareholders. Eight of the nine members of the Board of Directors attended the 2006 annual meeting of shareholders.

        Director Independence. Although our common stock is not listed on Nasdaq, we have chosen to apply Nasdaq's definition of "independence," as permitted by the SEC. Gasper L. Toole, III, Thomas L. Moore, Harry O. Weeks, Jr., Robert E. Alexander and William Clyburn are all independent. Timothy W. Simmons, J. Chris Verenes and Roy G. Lindburg are executive officers of Security Federal and accordingly, are not independent. T. Clifton Weeks is the father-in-law of Timothy W. Simmons and is therefore not independent.

        Related Party Transactions. Applicable law and regulations require that all loans or extensions of credit to executive officers and directors must be made in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons (unless the loan or extension of credit is made under a benefit program generally available to all employees and does not give preference to any insider over any other employee) and must not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features. Security Federal Bank has adopted a policy to this effect. At March 31, 2007, loans to all employees, officers and directors of the Bank totalled approximately $3.6 million, or 8.52% of Security Federal's total shareholders' equity. These loans (1) were made in the ordinary course of business, (2) were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with the Bank's other customers and (3) did not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features when made. All loans to directors and executive officers are required to be reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer and the Loan Committee and reported to the Board. Loans and aggregate loans of $500,000 or greater are reviewed and approved by the Bank's Board of Directors, pursuant to Regulation O of the Federal Reserve Board. All loan approval and review procedures are governed by written policies.

        Security Federal Bank also offers an employee loan program to all employees to assist employees with loans for a variety of personal, family or household credit needs, or for the purchase, construction or refinancing of a home which is the employee's primary residence. All loans offered to employees are closed on the same terms as those available to members of the general public. Following closing, the terms of employee loans are modified to reflect the preferential interest rate. Existing loans may be modified to conform to the terms of the employee loan program. The employee loan rates are modified on January 1 of each year to reflect the Bank's cost of funds. If an employee terminates employment at Security Federal Bank, the interest rate on the loan reverts to the original rate for the general public.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

        Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee of the Security Federal Board of Directors is responsible for establishing and monitoring our compensation policies and for reviewing and ratifying the actions of the Compensation Committee of the Security Federal Bank Board of Directors. Security Federal has not paid any compensation to its executive officers since its formation; all compensation is paid by Security Federal Bank. The Bank's Compensation Committee recommends and administers policies that govern executive compensation. The Committee evaluates individual executive performance, compensation policies and salaries. The Committee is

10

<PAGE>

responsible for evaluating the performance of the Chief Executive Officer of the Bank while the Chief Executive Officer of the Bank evaluates the performance of other senior officers of the Bank and makes recommendations to the Committee regarding compensation levels.

        Compensation Policies. Our executive compensation policies are designed to establish an appropriate relationship between executive pay and our annual performance, to reflect the attainment of short- and long-term financial performance goals and to enhance our ability to attract and retain qualified executive officers. The principles underlying the executive compensation policies include the following:

  • To attract and retain key executives who are vital to our long-term success and are of the highest caliber;


  • To provide levels of compensation competitive with those offered throughout the financial industry and consistent with our level of performance;


  • To motivate executives to enhance long-term shareholder value by building their equity interest in Security Federal; and


  • To integrate the compensation program with our annual and long-term strategic planning and performance measurement processes.

        The Compensation Committee considers a variety of subjective and objective factors in determining the compensation package for individual executives, including: (1) our performance, with emphasis on annual performance factors and long-term objectives; (2) the responsibilities assigned to each executive; and (3) the performance of each executive of assigned responsibilities as measured by our progress during the year.

        Compensation Program Elements. The compensation program for executive officers was designed by the Compensation Committee, and involves a combination of salary, retirement plans and equity compensation. The Committee has broad discretion in setting compensation and instead of weighing each element of compensation against the others, views them as a total package. The Committee has no specific policy for allocating between cash and non-cash compensation, but bases its decisions on what it deems to be the most effective form of compensation at the time, reviewing everything annually. The Compensation Committee also takes into account the cost of various elements of compensation to Security Federal Bank.

        Base Salary. The salary levels of executive officers are designed to be competitive within the banking and financial services industries. In setting competitive salary levels, the Compensation Committee continually evaluates current salary levels by surveying similar institutions in the Southeast and the United States. The Committee's peer group analysis focuses on asset size, nature of ownership, type of operation and other common factors. Specifically, the Compensation Committee annually reviews the South Carolina Banker's Association Compensation and Benefits Survey, the Bank Administration Institute Cash Compensation Survey and the America's Community Banker's Survey of Salaries which covers over 500 financial institutions nationwide. The Committee also reviews salary information of publicly-traded financial institutions in South Carolina and Georgia to ensure that the salary paid by Security Federal Bank is competitive. Base salary is designed to award the executives' day-to-day contributions to the success of Security Federal and Security Federal Bank.

        Retirement Plans. We also provide a 401(k) plan for all eligible employees and recently adopted a salary continuation plan for certain executive officers. These plans are designed to encourage retention of our executives. The benefit provided by the salary continuation plan begins on the last day of the year in which the executive attains age 65 or upon the executive's separation from service, if later.

        Equity Compensation. Security Federal, with shareholder approval, adopted stock option plans in 1987, 1999, 2002 and 2006. Under the plans, non-employee directors, emeritus directors, executive officers and other employees may receive grants and awards. We believe that stock ownership by our executives is a significant factor in aligning the interests of the executives with those of shareholders. Stock options and awards under these plans are allocated based upon regulatory practices and policies, and the practices of other publicly traded financial institutions as verified by

11

<PAGE>

external surveys and were based upon the executive officers' level of responsibility and contributions to Security Federal and Security Federal Bank.

        We entered into salary continuation agreements with Messrs. Simmons, Lindburg and Verenes, effective May 16, 2006. The agreements provide an annual supplemental retirement benefit which begins on the last day of the year in which the executive attains age 65, or upon executive's separation from service, if later. These agreements are described in greater detail below, under "Potential Payments Upon Termination."

13

<PAGE>

Potential Payments Upon Termination

        We have entered into agreements with the named executive officers that provide for potential payments upon disability, termination and death. In addition, our stock option plans also provide for potential payments upon termination. The following discussion addresses the potential payments that the named executive officers could receive under a variety of scenarios.

        Change in Control Agreements. We have entered into agreements that could provide for payments to Messrs. Simmons, Lindburg and Verenes following a change in control. If (1) a change in control, followed by a change in duties or salary, occurs during the term of the agreement, but before the executive reaches age 65 (age 72 for Mr. Simmons), and the executive resigns, or (2) the executive's employment is terminated, other than for cause, at any time following a change in control but before the executive reaches age 65 (age 72 for Mr. Simmons), then payments are due. Following either of these occurrences, the executive shall be paid in monthly installments for 36 consecutive months, or such lesser period until the executive reaches age 65 (age 72 for Mr. Simmons), an amount equal to 120% of the executive's base salary at the time of the change in control. A change in duties or salary is defined as having occurred if: (a) the executive's duties and responsibilities following a change in control change in a way that results in the assignment of duties and responsibilities inferior to those at the time of the change in control; (b) the executive's rate of annual salary is reduced from the rate in effect at the time of the change in control; or (c) the executive's office is moved to a place more than 25 miles from Security Federal's principal office in Aiken, South Carolina.

        Each agreement has a term of one year, and may be extended for an additional year upon approval by the Board of Directors following a formal performance evaluation of the executive by the disinterested members of the Board of Directors. The agreements contain a provision requiring reduction of any payments that would be deemed to constitute an excess parachute payment under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. Assuming the employment of Messrs. Simmons, Lindburg and Verenes had been terminated as of March 31, 2007 in connection with a change in control, the aggregate amount due and payable to each executive would have been $797,040, $184,200 and $269,189, respectively.

        Salary Continuation Agreements. We entered into salary continuation agreements with Messrs. Simmons, Lindburg and Verenes, effective May 16, 2006. The agreements provide an annual supplemental retirement benefit which begins on the last day of the year in which the executive attains age 65, or upon executive's separation from service, if later. The benefit equals 20% percent of the executive's final pay, payable in monthly installments over 15 years. An executive's final pay is the highest of his annual base salary over the five year period ending with the year he separates from service.

        The agreements also provide an early termination benefit if the executive terminates employment with Security Federal Bank prior to his attaining age 65. The early termination benefit is an annual benefit based on the executive's vested accrued balance under the agreement, determined when he separates from service from the Bank, adjusted monthly by an interest factor until the executive's attainment of age 65. The rate at which the executive vests in his early termination benefit is set forth in his agreement, with the vesting rate ranging from between 10 percent per year to 25 percent per year, depending on the executive. The early termination benefit is payable in monthly installments over 15 years, commencing on the first day of the month after the executive attains age 65. During the payout period, the remaining accrued balance will be credited monthly by an interest factor. The agreements also provide a disability termination benefit if the executive terminates employment with Security Federal Bank on account of disability prior to his attaining age 65. The disability termination benefit is the same as the early termination benefit, except that the executive becomes 100 percent vested in his benefit upon his disability while actively employed.

        In the event of a change in control, followed by a separation from service, the executive will receive an annual change in control benefit equal to 20 percent of the executive's projected final pay. An executive's projected final pay is his final pay, as defined above, adjusted at a rate of 4 percent per year until the executive attains age 65. The annual change in control benefit will be paid in monthly installments over 15 years, commencing on the first day of the month after the executive attains age 65.

        Nondistributed benefits will be forfeited if within 24 months of the executive's termination of employment the executive violates the noncompetition, nondisclosure or nonsolicitation provisions described in the agreement. This forfeiture provision does not apply if there is a change in control.

14

<PAGE>

        If the executive dies while in the active service of Security Federal Bank but before he attains age 65, his beneficiary will receive a lump sum benefit based on the executive's accrued balance that is paid within 60 days of his death. If the executive dies after his benefit has commenced, the remaining benefits will be paid to the executive's beneficiaries at the same time and the same amounts they would have been paid to the executive. If the executive dies after he has become entitled to a benefit, but before the benefit commences, the benefit will commence to be paid to his beneficiaries within 30 days following the date the Bank or its successor receives a copy of the executive's death certificate. In addition to the death benefit described above, the executive will receive under a split dollar agreement an additional death benefit, equal to 50 percent of the "net death proceeds." The net death proceeds is the death benefit received by the Bank under a life insurance policy taken out on the life of the executive, reduced by the greater of the cash surrender value of the policy or the aggregate premiums paid by the Bank on the policy.

        The following table shows the present value of the amounts that would be payable to the named executive officers if their employment had been terminated effective as of March 31, 2007 under each of the scenarios described above:

Name
Normal
Retirement ($)(1)

Early
Retirement
($)(2)

Disability ($)(3)
Change in
Control ($)(4)

Death ($)(5)
           
Timothy W. Simmons $72,137 $12,023 $72,137 $404,653 $289,447
Roy G. Lindburg $ 7,461 $ 746 $ 7,461 $205,885 $286,688
J. Chris Verenes $12,940 $ 1,294 $12,940 $269,189 $317,074
_______________
(1) The value shown for each named executive's Normal Retirement Benefit is his March 31, 2007 accrued account balance. The account balance is the sum of all past accruals plus interest earning on the accruals. The accrued account balance is based on the present value of the targeted retirement benefit, 20% of final annual salary, payable for 15 years after retiring at age 65 or later. In other words, it is the amount that needs to be set aside today in order to provide an eventual benefit upon retirement as specified in the agreement. In calculating present value, we assume each executive's compensation will increase 4% annually until retirement and annual accruals will continue between now and retirement.
(2) In the event of early retirement, which is retirement before reaching the age of 65, the named executive is entitled to his vested portion of his accrued benefit. The amounts shown are the vested accrued benefit as of March 31, 2007. Mr. Simmons was 16.7% vested, while Messrs. Lindburg and Verenes were 10% vested at March 31, 2007. The executive who retires early will receive his vested balance plus interest earned until age 65, upon reaching age 65 over a 15-year period.
(3) In the event an executive becomes disabled, the executive is entitled to his accrued account balance. That amount, plus interest until age 65, would be paid to the executive upon reaching age 65 over a 15-year period.
(4) In the event of a change in control, each named executive will be entitled to their final account value as if they had retired at age 65. That amount, plus interest until age 65, would be paid to the executive at age 65 over 15 years.
(5) In the event a named executive dies while employed, his heirs would receive the accrued account balance as of the previous March 31st payable within 60 days of receiving the death certificate. In addition, the heirs would be entitled to the split dollar benefit. The split dollar benefit is 50% of the net death proceeds. The net death benefit is the death benefit received by the bank taken out on the named executive, reduced by the greater of the cash surrender value or the aggregate premiums paid by the Bank on the policy. The amounts shown are the actual amounts that would have been paid to the heirs on March 31, 2007.

        Stock Option Plans. Our stock option plans provide for accelerated vesting of awards in the event of a change in control. Currently, all outstanding options held by the named executive officers are fully vested.
