          Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1.    Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in
accordance with instructions for Form 10-QSB and therefore do not include all
disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows in conformity with general accepted
accounting principles.  Such statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of
management, reflect all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring
nature, necessary for a fair presentation of results for the selected interim
periods.  Users of financial information produced for interim periods are
encouraged to refer to the footnotes contained in the Annual Report to
Stockholders when reviewing interim financial statements.  The results of
operations for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 1998 are
not necessarily indicative of the results, which may be expected for the
entire fiscal year.  This Form 10-QSB contains certain forward-looking
statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations, and
business.  These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and
uncertainties.  Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially
from those anticipated by such forward-looking statements include, but are not
limited to changes in interest rates, changes in the regulatory environment,
changes in general economic conditions and inflation, changes in the
securities market and Year 2000 if not effectively corrected.  Management
cautions readers of Form 10-QSB not to place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements contained therein.

2.    Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Security Federal Corporation (the "Company") and its wholly owned
subsidiary, Security Federal Bank  (the "Bank"), and its wholly owned
subsidiary Security Financial Services Corporation ("SFSC").  SFSC engages
primarily in investment brokerage services.  Also included in consolidation is
a real estate partnership, which the Company purchased from SFSC in December
1995 at fair market value.

            Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of
                   Operations and Financial Condition

Changes in Financial Condition

Total assets of the Company increased $29.0 million during the nine months
ended December 31, 1998, primarily due to increases of  $9.3 million in total
net loans receivable,  $17.2 million in investment securities, and $2.3
million in cash and cash equivalents.

Funded residential real estate loans increased $8.8 million during the period
while other loans increased only $600,000.  Combined with higher coupon loans
prepaying, this led to a decrease in the overall yield in the loan portfolio.

Real estate acquired in settlement of loans (REO) increased  $193,000 while
real estate acquired for development increased $6,000 during the nine-month
period.

Deposits increased $19.0 million or 10.5% during the nine months ended
December 31, 1998 as Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances grew $6.9 million
to fund the Company's 13.4% growth in assets.

The Board of Directors declared the thirtieth, thirty-first, and thirty-second
consecutive quarterly dividend of $.03, $.03, and $.04 per share in May,
August, and November 1998, respectively, which totaled $84,000.   Unrealized
net gains on securities available for sale increased $60,000 during the nine
months ended December 31, 1998.  Net income for the nine months was $1.3
million for the Company.  These items combined to increase the stockholders'
equity by $1.3 million or 7.1% during the nine months ended December 31, 1998
and raised book value per share to  $22.99 compared to $21.46 at March 31,
1998.

At its October 1998 Board of Directors meeting, the board of the Company
declared a 2-for-1 stock split of the Company's common stock.  The stock split
was accomplished through a 100 percent stock dividend that was issued on or
about December 15, 1998 to shareholders of record as of November 30, 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In accordance with Office of Thrift Supervision regulations, the Bank is
required to maintain a liquidity ratio at specified levels, which are subject
to change.  Currently, a minimum of 4.0% of the combined total of deposits and
certain borrowings must be maintained in the form of cash or eligible
investments.  The Bank's average liquidity during the nine months ended
December 31, 1998 was approximately 34%.  The Bank's current liquidity level
is deemed adequate to meet the requirements of normal operations, potential
deposit outflows, and loan demand while still allowing for optimal investment
of funds and return on assets.

Loan repayments and maturities of investments are a significant source of
funds, whereas loan disbursements are a primary use of the Bank's funds. 
During the nine months ended December 31, 1998, loan disbursements exceeded
loan repayments resulting in a $9.3 million or 6.7% increase in total net loan
receivable.

Deposits and other borrowings are also an important source of funds for the
Bank.  During the nine months ended December 31, 1998, deposits increased
$19.0 million while FHLB advances increased $6.9 million.  At December 31,
1998, Security Federal had $74.0 million of certificates of deposit maturing
within one year. Based on previous experience, a major portion of these
certificates is anticipated to be renewed.

Liquidity resources at December 31, 1998 are sufficient to meet outstanding
mortgage loan commitments of $875,000 and unused lines of credit of $22.2
million.  Management believes that the Bank's liquidity needs will continue to
be supported by the Bank's deposit base and borrowing capacity.

Accounting and Reporting Changes 

In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income.
This statement establishes standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose
financial statements.  Enterprises are required to classify items of "other
comprehensive income" by their nature in the financial statement and display
the balance of other comprehensive income separately in the equity section of
a statement of financial position.  Statement 130 is effective for both
interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 1997.  Earlier
application is permitted.  Comparative financial statements provided for
earlier periods are required to be reclassified to reflect the provisions of
this statement.  The Company adopted Statement 130 effective June 30, 1998.

            Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of
                   Operations and Financial Condition

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

In April 1998, the FASB issued SFAS 132, Employers' Disclosures about Pensions
and Other Postretirement Benefits.  The new Statement revises the required
disclosures for employee benefit plans, but it does not change the measurement
or recognition of such plans.  While the new standard requires some additional
information about benefit plans, it helps preparers of financial statements by
eliminating certain disclosures and by standardizing the disclosures for
pensions and other postretirement benefits to the extent practicable.  SFAS
132 supercedes the disclosure requirements in SFAS 87, Employers' Accounting
for Pensions, SFAS 88, Employers' Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments
of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits, and SFAS 106,
Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions.  The
new disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1997.  The adoption of SFAS 132 did not have an impact on the financial
statements of the Company due to the disclosure only requirements.

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instrument
and Hedging Activities. All derivatives are to be measured at fair value and
recognized in the statement of financial position as assets or liabilities. 
The statement is effective for fiscal years and quarters beginning after June
15, 1999.  Because the Company has limited use of derivative transactions at
this time, management does not expect that this standard would have a
significant effect on the Company.

In March 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the AICPA
issued Statement of Position 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use (SOP 98-1), which provided
guidance as to when it is or is not appropriate to capitalize the cost of
software developed or obtained for internal uses.  SOP 98-1 is effective for
financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998 with
early adoption encouraged.  The Company does not anticipate that adoption of
SOP 98-1 will have a material effect on its financial statements.

In October 1998, the FASB issued SFAS 134, Accounting for Mortgage-Backed
Securities Retained after the Securitization of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise.  The new statement establishes accounting
and reporting standards for certain activities of mortgage banking
enterprises.  The statement is effective for the first quarter beginning after
December 15, 1998.  The statement will have no effect on the financial
statements of the Bank.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

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

Year 2000 Considerations

The Bank recognizes that there is a business risk in computerized systems as
the calendar rolls over into the next century.  If the computer systems
misinterpret the date, items such as interest calculations on loans and
deposits will be incorrect.  This problem is commonly called the "Year 2000
Problem."  A number of computer systems used by the Company in its day-to-day
operations will be affected by this problem.  Management has established a
committee (the "Y2K Project Team") which has identified all affected systems
and is currently working to ensure that this event will not disrupt
operations.  The Y2K Project Team reports regularly to the Bank's Board of
Directors.  The Bank is also working closely with outside computer vendors to
ensure that all software corrections and warranty commitments are obtained and
to arrange mock conversion testing.  Testing of the Bank's core processing
systems occurred in December 1998.  The test is currently being evaluated but
is thought to have been successful.  The Bank's contingency plan has been
completed and is in the process of being tested and evaluated.  The Bank's
Year 2000 project costs are not expected to have a material impact on its
results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.  The impact of Year
2000 noncompliance by all outside parties with whom the corporation may
transact business cannot be gauged fully at this time.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998
------------------------------------------------------------------

NET INCOME

Net income was $479,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1998, which
represents an increase in earnings of $11,000 or 2.2% compared to the same
period in 1997.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income decreased $70,000 or 3.2% during the three months ended
December 31, 1998 due to a decrease in total interest income and a slight
increase in interest expense.

Interest income on loans decreased $155,000 or 4.7% during the quarter as the
overall yield in the loan portfolio decreased from the previous year's
quarter.  Investment, mortgage-backed, and other securities interest income
increased $106,000 or 10.5% during the three months ended December 31, 1998
due to an increase in the average balance in the investment portfolio despite
a nine basis points decline in the average yield in the portfolio.  Total
interest income fell $49,000 or 1.1% during the three months ended December
31, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997.

Total interest expense increased $21,000 or 13.0% during the three months
ended December 31, 1998 compared to the same period one-year earlier. 
Interest expense on deposits increased $172,000 or 9.6% during the period as
deposits grew significantly compared to the average balance in 1997 despite
the overall cost of deposits declining nine basis points in the 1998 quarter. 
Interest expense on advances and other borrowings decreased $151,000 during
the three-months ended December 31, 1998 as the average amount of debt
outstanding decreased in the 1998 period compared to 1997 as the overall cost
of debt also decreased during the period.

            Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of
                   Operations and Financial Condition

Provision for Loan Losses

Security Federal's provision for loan losses decreased $90,000 during the
three months ended December 31, 1998 compared to the three months ended
December 31,1997 due to management's continual analysis of the loan portfolio. 
Non-accrual loans, which are loans delinquent 90 days or more, were $1.2
million at December 31, 1998 compared to $2.0 million at March 31, 1998.  The
ratio of allowance for loan losses to the Bank's total loans was 1.14% at
December 31, 1998 compared to 1.09% at March 31, 1998.

Other Income

Total other income increased $220,000 during the three months ended December
31, 1998 compared to the same period one year earlier.  Gain on sale of loans
increased $180,000 during the period as the origination and sale of fixed rate
mortgages increased dramatically due to the relatively low interest rate
environment and an increase in the emphasis on the origination of mortgage
loans.  The net gain on sale of investments decreased $15,000 during the
period while loan-servicing fees decreased $6,000 or 6.6% as the portfolio of
loans serviced for others decreased.  Service fees on deposit accounts grew
$2,000 and income from real estate operations stemming from the Willow Woods
partnership increased $7,000.  Other miscellaneous income including credit
life insurance commissions, gain on sale of repossessed assets, safe deposit
rental income, annuity and stock brokerage commissions through Security
Financial Services, and other miscellaneous fees increased $52,000 during the
three months ended December 31, 1998.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $222,000 or 13.1% during the
three months ended December 31, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997 due
mainly to an increase in salaries and employee benefits.

Salaries and employee benefits expense grew $136,000 or 15.6% due to an
increase in staff in customer service positions and an increase in staffing to
handle the increase in volume of mortgage loans.  Occupancy expense increased
$11,000 or 9.6% during the period.  Advertising decreased $24,000 while the
depreciation and maintenance of equipment expense increased $38,000 during the
quarterly period.  FDIC insurance premiums were virtually constant at $19,000
during both years as were the amortization of intangible expense of $116,000
during the three months December 31 in both 1998 and 1997.  Other
miscellaneous expense, consisting of legal, professional, and consulting
expense, stationery and office supplies, and other sundry expenses, increased
$61,000 during the period due mainly to an increase in repossessed assets
expense.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Net Income

Net income was $1,310,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 1998 that was
a $14,000 or 1.1% decrease in earnings compared to the same period in 1997. 
The decrease was due to an increase in general and administrative expenses and
a decrease in net interest income, offset in part by an increase in other
income and a decrease in the provision for loan losses.

            Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of
                   Operations and Financial Condition

Net Interest Income

Net interest income decreased $102,000 or 1.6% during the nine months ended
December 31, 1998 due primarily to a decrease in interest income on loans and
an increase in interest expense offset partially by an increase in interest
income on investments, mortgage-backed, and other securities during the
period.

Interest income on loans decreased $509,000 or 5.1% as the average balance and
the average yield of the loan portfolio both decreased.  Investment,
mortgage-backed, and other investment securities interest income increased
$921,000 as the size of the investment portfolio increased as the average
overall yield in the portfolio was practically identical in both periods.

Total interest expense increased $515,000 or 8.7% during the nine months ended
December 31, 1998 compared to the same nine months in 1997.  Interest expense
on deposits increased $651,000 or 13.1% due to significant deposit growth. 
Interest expense on advances and other borrowings decreased $135,000 during
the period due to a decrease in borrowings and a slight decrease in the cost
of debt.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses decreased $180,000 during the nine months ended
December 31, 1998 due to management's analysis of the Bank's total loan
portfolio.  Net charge-offs were $266,000 for the nine months ended December
31, 1998 compared to $476,000 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. 
Future additions to the Bank's allowance for loan losses are dependent on,
among other things, the performance of the Bank's loan portfolio, changes in
real estate values, interest rates, and the economy.

Other Income

Total other income increased $438,000 or 29.7% during the nine months ended
December 31, 1998 due primarily to an increase in the gain on sale of loans.

Gain on sale of loans increased $366,000 during the period due to an increase
in the origination and sale of fixed rate mortgage loans.  The net gain on
sale of investments decreased $15,000 while loan servicing fees decreased
$17,000 due to the shrinkage in loans serviced for others.  The majority of
fixed rate loans sold during the period were sold with servicing released. 
Service fees on deposit accounts dropped $19,000 or 3.0% while income from
real estate operations in the Willow Woods partnership increased $32,000 as
the number of lots sold increased during the period.  Other miscellaneous
income increased $51,000 or 4.4% during the nine months ended  December 31,
1998 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 1997.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $556,000 or 10.4% primarily due
to an increase in salaries and employee benefits expense during the nine
months ended December 31, 1998.

Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $398,000 or 15.3% over the
same period in the previous fiscal year due to normal annual increases and an
increase in the number of customer contact associates and an increase in staff
in mortgage loans to handle the increase in loan volume.  Occupancy expense
increased $19,000 or 5.4% while advertising expense increased $30,000 or
11.0%.  Depreciation and maintenance of equipment increased $57,000 or 10.5%
during the period.  FDIC insurance premiums increased $1,000 or 2.2% while the
amortization of intangibles expense was the same in both periods at $349,000. 
Other miscellaneous expense increased $51,000 or 4.4% during the nine months
ended December 31, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997.
