1.   Basis of Preparation
     --------------------

     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 the
     consolidated   balance   sheets,   consolidated   statements   of   income,
     consolidated   statements  of   stockholders'   equity,   and  consolidated
     statements of cash flows in conformity with generally  accepted  accounting
     principles.   However,  all  adjustments  which  are,  in  the  opinion  of
     management,  necessary for the fair  presentation of the interim  financial
     statements  have  been  included.  All  such  adjustments  are of a  normal
     recurring nature.  The statement of income for the three month period ended
     March 31, 2001 is not  necessarily  indicative  of the results which may be
     expected for the entire year or any other future interim period.

     It is suggested  that these  consolidated  financial  statements be read in
     conjunction with the audited  consolidated  financial  statements and notes
     thereto  for the  Company  for the year ended  December  31, 2000 which are
     included in the Form 10-KSB by reference (file no. 0-22587).

2.   Earnings Per Share
     ------------------

     Basic  earnings  per common  share  ("EPS")  for all periods  presented  is
     computed by dividing  net income by the weighted  average  number of common
     share  outstanding.  Diluted  earnings  per  common  share is  computed  by
     dividing  net  income  available  to common  stockholders  by the  weighted
     average number of common shares  outstanding and dilutive  potential common
     shares,  which include stock options.  Dilutive potential common shares are
     calculated  using the treasury  stock  method.  Options to purchase  73,630
     shares of the Company's common stock were outstanding during the March 2001
     quarter,  but were not included in the  computation  of diluted EPS because
     their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Item 2.
         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

The  Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995  contains  safe  harbor
provisions regarding forward-looking  statements.  When used in this discussion,
the words  "believes",  "anticipates",  "contemplates",  "expects",  and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements
are subject to certain risks and uncertainties  which could cause actual results
to differ materially from those projected. Those risks and uncertainties include
changes in  interest  rates,  the  ability to control  costs and  expenses,  and
general economic  conditions.  The Company  undertakes no obligation to publicly
release the results of any revisions to those forward looking  statements  which
may be made to  reflect  events or  circumstances  after  the date  hereof or to
reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

The following discussion and analysis is intended to assist in understanding the
financial condition and the results of operations of the Company.  References to
the Company  refer  collectively  to the Company and Security  Federal Bank (the
"Bank"), unless the context indicates otherwise.

Comparison  of Results of  Operations  for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2000
and 2001

Net Income. Net income decreased  $19,000,  or 15.1%, for the three months ended
March 31,  2001,  to  $107,000,  compared to $126,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2000.  The decrease was  primarily the result of a decrease in the net
interest margin of $35,000,  offset by a $12,000 decrease in other  non-interest
expenses  and a decrease of $8,000 in income tax expense for three month  period
in 2001, as compared 2000.  Diluted income per share  decreased  $.02, from $.21
for the three month ended March 31,  2000,  to $.19 for the three  months  ended
March 31, 2001.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income decreased  approximately  $35,000,  or
7.0%,  from  $502,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000, to $467,000 for
the three  months ended March 31,  2001.  The  decrease in net  interest  income
primarily   reflects  a  increase  of  approximately  $3.0  million  in  average
interest-bearing liabilities,  offset by an approximate $2.8 million increase in
average  interest-earning  assets. The interest rate spread decreased from 2.83%
for three months  ending March 31,  2000,  to 2.54% for the three months  ending
March 31, 2000, while the net interest margin decreased 29 basis points to 3.52%
for the three months ended March 31, 2001.

Interest Income. Total interest income increased $76,000, or 7.9%, from $965,000
for the three months ended March 31, 2000, to approximately $1.0 million for the
three months ended March 31,  2001.  The increase in 2001,  as compared to 2000,
was  attributable  to the $2.8  million  increase  in  interest-earning  assets,
combined  with an 18 basis  point  increase  in the  average  yield  on  average
interest-earning  assets.  Interest  on loans  increased  $73,000,  interest  on
interest-earning  deposits

                                       9


increased  $22,000,  interest on investments  decreased  $14,000 and interest on
mortgage-backed securities decreased $5,000.

The   increase  in  interest  on  loans   primarily   reflects  an  increase  of
approximately $2.7 million in the average loans outstanding balance for 2001, as
compared to 2000.  The average yield on loans  increased 17 basis  points,  from
7.96% in 2000,  to 8.13% in 2001.  The increase in interest on  interest-earning
deposits   primarily   reflects  a  $1.7   million   increase   in  the  average
interest-earning deposits balance for 2001, as compared to 2000. The increase in
the average  interest-earning deposit balance for 2001, as compared to 2000, was
the result  $970,000 of net  investment  maturities.  The decrease in investment
interest  reflects the maturity of investment  securities which were transferred
to interest-earning  deposits.  Interest on mortgage-backed securities decreased
$5,000 as the portfolio continues to mature and principal payments are received.
The monies  generated by investment  maturities and the principal  payments from
mortgage-backed  securities were used to fund loan demand,  deposit  withdrawals
and stock repurchases.

Interest  Expense.  Interest expense increased  $111,000,  from $463,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2000,  to $574,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2001.  The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was  primarily
the result of a increase of approximately $3.0 million in the average balance of
interest-bearing liabilities, combined with a 71 basis point increase in average
cost of funds.  The  increase was  primarily  due to the  continued  increase in
short-term  interest rates during 2000,  which forced the Company to reprice its
certificate  of  deposits  at  much  higher  rates.   Until  the  higher  priced
certificate of deposits  return to a normal rate pattern,  the Company's cost of
funds could remain high as compared to prior periods.

Provision for Loan Losses.  The provision for loan losses for three month period
ended  March 31, 2000 and 2001 was $9,000,  respectively.  Management  regularly
performs an analysis to quantify the inherent risk of loss in its portfolio.  At
March 31, 2001 the ratio of the  allowance  for loan loss was at a level  deemed
adequate by management to provide for losses in the loan portfolio. The ratio of
allowance  for loan loss to  non-performing  loans at March 31, 2001 was 106.74%
and nonperforming loans represented .60% of total consolidated assets.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income continues to be an additional source of
income for the  Company.  The income is produced by fees on new loan  production
and service  fees on other  products and  services.  Total  non-interest  income
amounted to $54,000 and $50,000 for 2000 and 2001, respectively.

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense decreased $12,000, from approximately
$348,000  for the three month  period  ended March 31,  2000,  to  approximately
$336,000 for the three month period in 2001.  The  decrease  was  primarily  the
result of  decreased  compensation  expense of $11,000,  which  resulted  from a
reduction in staff.

Income  Taxes.  Income tax expense for the three  months  ended March 31,  2001,
decreased $8,000, to $65,000,  compared to the same period in 2000. The decrease
was primarily the result of lower pre-tax income. The effective tax rate for the
three  months  ended March 31,  2000 and 2001,  was  approximately  37% and 38%,
respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.  The Company's primary sources of funds are new
deposits, proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans, and repayments
on mortgage-backed  securities.  While maturities and scheduled  amortization of
loans are a predictable source of funds,  deposit flows and mortgage prepayments
are greatly  influenced  by general  interest  rates,  economic  conditions  and
competition. The Company's primary investing activity is loan originations.  The
Company maintains liquidity levels adequate to fund loan commitments, investment
opportunities, deposit withdrawals and other financial commitments. At March 31,
2001 there were no material commitments for capital expenditures. Obligations to
fund  outstanding  loan  commitments at March 31, 2001 were  approximately  $1.3
million.

At  March  31,  2001  management  had no  knowledge  of any  trends,  events  or
uncertainties  that will have or are reasonably  likely to have material effects
on the  liquidity,  capital  resources or operations of the Company.  Further at
March 31, 2001,  management was not aware of any current  recommendations by the
regulatory authorities which, if implemented, would have such an effect.

The Bank exceeded all of its capital  requirements  at March 31, 2001.  The Bank
had the following capital ratios at March 31, 2001:
