The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Security Federal Bank, and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Security Federal Insurance, Inc. (“SFINS”) and Security Financial Services Corporation (“SFSC”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. SFINS was formed during fiscal 2002 and began operating during the December 2001 quarter.  SFINS is an insurance agency offering auto, business, health, and home insurance.  SFINS has a wholly owned subsidiary, Collier Jennings Financial Corporation which has as subsidiaries Collier Jennings Inc., The Auto Insurance Store Inc., and Security Federal Premium Pay Plans Inc (the “Collier-Jennings Companies”). SFSC was inactive for several years. During the quarter ended December 31, 2010, it was reactivated and utilitzed to hold and operate a repossessed hotel located in Hardeeville, South Carolina. Subsequently, in fiscal 2012 the hotel was sold and the subsidiary once again returned to inactive status.

 

The Company has a wholly owned subsidiary, Security Federal Statutory Trust (the “Trust”), which issued and sold fixed and floating rate capital securities of the Trust.  However, under current accounting guidance, the Trust is not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements.  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.

 

As previously announced, on December 28, 2011, Security Federal Bank completed a charter conversion from a federally chartered stock savings bank to a South Carolina chartered commercial bank. As a result of this transaction, the Company was reorganized into a bank holding company.
