                                      (Unaudited)

1.    Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in
accordance with instructions for Form 10-QSB and therefore do not include all
disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows in conformity with general accepted
accounting principles.  Such statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of
management, reflect all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring
nature, necessary for a fair presentation of results for the selected interim
periods.  Users of financial information produced for interim periods are
encouraged to refer to the footnotes contained in The Annual Report to
Stockholders when reviewing interim financial statements.  The results of
operations for the three month period ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily
indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year.

2.    Principles of Consolidation

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

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

Changes in Financial Condition

Total assets of the Company increased $1.8 million or 0.9%  during the three
months ended June 30, 1997, primarily due to an increase of  $4.0 million in
investments offset partially by an $818,000 decrease cash and cash equivalents
and a $1.5 million or 1.0% decrease in total net loans receivable.

Real estate acquired in settlement of loans (REO) increased slightly by $45,000
while real estate acquired for development decreased $96,000 during the three-
month period due to sales of real estate.

Deposits decreased $2.9 million or 1.7% during the three months ended of June
1997 as Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances grew $3.9 million to replace
those funds and fund the Company's 0.9% growth in assets.

The Board of Directors declared the twenty-sixth consecutive quarterly dividend
of $.06 per share in May 1997 which totaled $25,000.  This represents a 20%
increase in dividends over the prior year.  Unrealized net losses on securities
available for sale decreased by $120,000 during the three months ended June 30,
1997.  Net income for the quarter was $421,000 for the Company.  These items
combined to increase the Company's stockholders' equity by $516,000 or 3.2%
during the three months ended June 30, 1997 and raised book value per share to
$40.03 compared to $38.79 at March 31, 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In accordance with Office of Thrift Supervision regulations, the Bank is
required to maintain a liquidity ratio at specified levels which are subject to
change.  Currently, a minimum of 5.0% of the combined total of deposits and
certain borrowings must be maintained in the form of cash or eligible
investments.  For both the June 1996 and 1997 quarters, the Bank maintained an
average liquidity level of approximately 22%.  This level of liquidity is
deemed adequate to meet 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 three months ended June 30, 1997, loan repayments exceeded loan
disbursements resulting in a $1.5 million or 1.0% decrease in total net-loans
receivable.

                 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)

Deposits and other borrowings are also an important source of funds for the
Bank.  During the three months ended June 30, 1997, deposits decreased $2.9
million while FHLB advances increased $3.9 million.  At June 30, 1997, Security
Federal had $80.6 million of certificates of deposit maturing within one year. 
Based on previous experience, a major portion of these certificates will be re-
deposited.  

Capital resources at June 30, 1997 are sufficient to meet outstanding mortgage
loan commitments of $319,000 and unused lines of credit of $20.8 million.  
Management believes that the Bank's short-term and long-term liquidity needs
will continue to be supported by the Bank's deposit base and borrowing
capacity.

Accounting and Reporting Changes 

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

NET INCOME

Security Federal Corporation's net income increased $142,000 or 51%, to
$421,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997, compared to the same period
in 1996 primarily due to an increase in net interest income and other income,
combined with a slight decrease in general and administrative expenses.  
Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased by $250,000 or 12.9% during the three months
ended June 30, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996 due primarily to a
decreases in interest expense on deposits and advances and an increase in
investment interest income offset partially by a decrease in interest income on
loans receivable.

Interest income on loans decreased $67,000 or 2.0% during the quarter due to
lower average total outstanding loan balances.  Investment, mortgage-backed,
and other securities interest income increased $26,000 or 4.1% during the three
months ended June 30, 1997, compared to the same period one year ago due to
higher average investment balances and a higher yield on the overall investment
portfolio.  Total interest income increased $41,000 or 1.0% during the quarter.

Total interest expense decreased $291,000 or 14.0% during the three-month
period.  Interest expense on deposits decreased $198,000 or 11.5% due to a
lower cost of funds on deposits and a lower overall deposit balance during the
quarter ended June 30, 1997.  Advances and other borrowings' interest expense
decreased $93,000 during the three months ended June 30, 1997, compared to the
same period in 1996 due to a lower total average outstanding borrowings.  The
cost of advances and other borrowings has been relatively stable during the
past twelve months.

Provision for Loan Losses

Security Federal's provision for loan losses increased $75,000 to $150,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 1997, compared to the 1996 period due to
managements analysis of the loan portfolio and the increasing percentage of
commercial loans in the Bank's portfolio.  Commercial loans are inherently
riskier than residential mortgage loans  During the three months ended June 30,
1997, net charge-offs were $29,420 compared to $60,055 for the three months
ended June 30, 1996.  The Bank ceases to accrue interest on any loan 60 days or
more delinquent.  Non-accrual loans at June 30, 1997 were $2.1 million compared
to $1.4 million at March 31, 1997.  The allowance for loan losses as a
percentage of total loans was 1.28% at June 30, 1997 and 1.19% at March 31,
1997.  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.  A major employer in
the Aiken area, the Savannah River Site, has experienced several major
downsizings of personnel the past few years.  More layoffs at the site are
expected in the coming year, which will have some impact on the local economy. 
Management continues to monitor its loan portfolio for the impact of local
economic changes.

                   Managements Discussion and Analysis of
                Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Other Income

Total other income increased $59,000 or 16.4% during the three months ended
June 30, 1997 compared to the same period one-year earlier. Gain on sale of
loans and loan servicing fees, which were $30,000 and $83,000 respectively in
the June 1997 quarter, were virtually the same amounts in the 1996 three-month
period.  Service fees on deposit accounts increased $11,000 or 5.7%.  Income
from real estate operations increased $4,000 due to increased sales of real
estate during the three months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the 1996 period.
Also contributing to higher other income levels were reduced expenses due to
the sale of the remaining lots in one of the two partnership's subdivisions,
Currytowne in Edgefield County, in February 1997.  Other income, which consists
of credit life insurance commissions, safe deposit box rental income, annuity
and stock brokerage commissions through Security Financial Services and other
miscellaneous fees, increased $44,000 due to increased activity in Security
Financial during the June 1997 three month period.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased $10,000 or 0.5% due mainly to
decreases in FDIC insurance premiums and other expenses offset in part by
increases in compensation, benefits, and advertising expense.

Compensation and employee benefits increased $74,000 or 9.0% due to normal
annual salary increases and overtime paid in working through a major computer
conversion that occurred late in the prior fiscal year.  The computer
conversion also changed the Bank from an outsourcing of data processing
services arrangement to an in-house processing system which has the effect of
increasing compensation and equipment expenses slightly, but is more than
offset by a decrease in other expense.  Occupancy increased $16,000 during the
June 1997 quarter due to an increase in building maintenance and repairs
expense.  Advertising increased $44,000 to $79,000 during the three months
ended June 30, 1997 due to increased media advertising and billboards to
promote the Bank's 75th anniversary and the Bank's new logo and corporate
colors.  Depreciation and maintenance of equipment expense decreased $2,800
during the quarter even as the Bank added approximately $600,000 in software
and equipment to its fixed assets, several other items of equipment became
fully depreciated.  FDIC insurance premiums dropped $73,000 due to the decrease
in premium rates which occurred late in fiscal 1997 due to congressional
legislation to recapitalize the SAIF fund.  Amortization of intangibles arising
due to branch acquisitions in October 1993, were $116,000 in both the June 1996
and 1997 quarters.  Other expenses, encompassing legal, professional and
consulting expense, stationary and office supplies, and in the June 1996
quarter only, data processing outsourcing expense, decreased $68,000 or 14.2%
during the three months ended June 30, 1997.  The primary reason for the
decrease is the above mentioned data processing conversion which brought the
Bank's data servicing back in-house for which the Bank was paying approximately
$30,000 per month to an outside provider.
