             INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT
             -------------------------------

     We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated
statement of financial condition of Security Federal Bancorp,
Inc., and Subsidiary, as of June 30, 1997 and the related
condensed statements of income for the three and nine month
periods and statement of cash flows for the nine months ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. 

     We conducted our review in accordance with standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants.  A review of interim financial information consists
principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data
and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an
audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion
regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. 
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

     Based on our review, we are not aware of any material
modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements referred to above, in order for
them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

     We have previously audited, in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet of
Security Federal Bancorp., Inc., and Subsidiary, as of September
30, 1996, and the related consolidated statements of income,
shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, not
presented herein, and in our report dated December 10, 1996, we
expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial
statements.  In our opinion, the information set forth in the
accompanying balance sheet as of September 30, 1996, is fairly
stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated
balance sheet from which it has been derived.

- ----------------------------------------------------------------

1.  Organization
    ------------
     Security Federal Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware
corporation, was incorporated in June, 1994, for the purpose of
acting as a savings and loan holding company with the Bank as its
sole subsidiary.  On March 31, 1995, the Company acquired all of
the common stock of the Bank upon its conversion from mutual to
stock form.  The Company's principal business is the business of
the Bank. The Bank is a federally chartered stock savings bank
and a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System.

2.  Basis of Presentation
    ---------------------
     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10QSB and,
therefore, do not include information or notes necessary for a
complete presentation of financial position, results of
operations, retained earnings, and cash flows in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.  These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company's
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1996. 
The accounting policies shown in Note 1 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements for September 30, 1996, have been
consistently followed.  It is management's opinion that all
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated
financial statements presented have been recorded.  Such
adjustments were of a normal recurring nature.  The results of
operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year.

3.  Principles of Consolidation
    ---------------------------
     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of Security Federal Bancorp, Inc., and
Security Federal Bank.  All significant intercompany items have
been eliminated.

4.  Retained Earnings
    -----------------
     The Bank is required to maintain certain levels of regulatory
capital.  At June 30, 1997 the Bank was in compliance with all
regulatory capital requirements.  In addition to these
requirements, the Bank must maintain sufficient capital for the
"liquidation account" for the benefit of eligible account holders. 
In the event of a complete liquidation of the Bank, eligible
depositors would have an interest in the account.

5.  Mortgage Servicing Rights
    -------------------------
     In May, 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 122,
"Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights, an Amendment of FASB
65," effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1995.  When a company has a definitive plan to sell or securitize
mortgage loans it originated and intends to retain the mortgage
servicing rights, Statement No. 122 requires that the cost of
mortgage servicing rights are capitalized separately from the
cost of originating the loan.  Under Statement No. 65, only
mortgage  servicing rights that  are purchased are  capitalized. 
Statement No. 122  eliminates the disparity between the treatment
of mortgage servicing rights obtained through loan origination
and those that are purchased from other parties.  In addition,
Statement No. 122 requires that capitalized mortgage servicing
rights should  be amortized in proportion to and over the period
of estimated servicing income and should be evaluated for
impairment based on their fair value.  The Company adopted
Statement No. 122 for the quarter ended December 31, 1996.  For
the nine  months ended June 30, 1997, a total of $188,777 of
mortgage servicing rights have been capitalized on loans sold
with servicing retained.

    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                   AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                       June 30, 1997
- ----------------------------------------------------------------

Financial Condition
- -------------------
     The company's total assets decreased by $1.14 million, or
1.5%, to $75.9 million at June 30, 1997, from $77.0 million at
September 30, 1996.   This decrease was primarily a result of a
decrease in loans receivable and loans held for sale of $740,000,
or 1.1%, from $70 million at September 30, 1996, to $69.3 million
at June 30, 1997.  In addition, deferred tax assets decreased
$252,000, or 97.8%,  primarily due to the payment of the SAIF
assessment and benefits payable under the director's retirement
plan.  These were partially offset by an increase in other assets
of $153,000 from $457,000 at September 30, 1996, to $610,000 at
June 30, 1997, principally due to the adoption of SFAS No. 122
relating to the increase in mortgage servicing rights.

     Deposits increased by $3.4 million, or 5.5%, from $61.3
million at September 30, 1996, to $64.7 million at June 30, 1997,
primarily from increases in short-term certificates of deposit. 
In addition, in the quarter ending June 30, 1997, the Bank began
offering full service checking accounts to its customers.  The
increase in deposits was partially offset by a decrease in short-
term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of $2.25 million,
or 79.2%, from $2.84 million at September 30, 1996, to $585,000
at June 30, 1997.  Furthermore, accrued expenses and other
liabilities decreased by $468,000 or 60.7%, from $771,000 at
September 30, 1996, to $303,000 at June 30, 1997, primarily due
to the payment of the SAIF assessment. 

     Stockholder's equity decreased approximately 14.2% to $9.1
million at June 30, 1997, compared with $10.6 million at
September 30, 1996.  This decrease was caused by the one-time
cash distribution and return of capital of approximately $2.02
million made during the first quarter of 1997.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------
     The earnings of the company depend primarily on its level of
net interest income, which is the difference between interest
earned on the company's interest-earning assets, consisting
primarily of mortgage loans, consumer loans, and investment
securities, and the interest paid on interest-bearing
liabilities.  Net interest income totaled $1.84 million and
$620,000 for the nine and three month periods ended June 30,
1997, which is an increase of $28,000 and a decrease of $25,000
over the respective nine and three month periods ended June 30,
1996.

Net Interest Income
- -------------------
     The increase in net interest income for nine months ended
June 30, 1997, was primarily caused by an increase in interest
earning assets in comparison to the nine months ended June 30,
1996.  Total interest income for the third quarter of 1997
increased by $8,000, or .5%, as compared to the third quarter of
1996.  Total interest income for the first nine months of 1997
increased by $148,000, or 3.3%, to $4.62 million from $4.47
million from the same period in the prior year. 

     Total interest expense increased by $33,000, or 3.6%, from
$906,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 1996, to
$939,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 1997.  This is
primarily due to an increase of $45,000, or 5.1%, in interest
expense on deposits.  The increase in interest expense on
deposits generally reflects the growth of deposits from the same
period in the prior year.  This increase was offset by a decrease
in interest on borrowed funds of $12,000 for the three month
period ended June 30, 1997 as compared with the same period in
the prior year.  For the first nine months of 1997, interest
expense increased by $120,000, or 4.5%, to $2.78 million as
compared with $2.66 million for the first nine months of 1996.  
This results from both an increase in interest on deposits of
$106,000, or 4.0%, and an increase in interest on borrowed funds
of $14,000,  or 29.7%, when compared to the first nine months of
1996.  

Provision for Losses
- --------------------
     There were no additions made to the provision for loan
losses for the three month or nine month periods ended June 30,
1997.  Management periodically reviews the need to increase the
provision for loan losses based upon their evaluation of known
and inherent risk characteristics of the loan portfolio.  Total
non-performing assets were $231,000 and $154,000 at June 30, 1997
and 1996, which represents .30% and .20% of total assets as of
these dates.  Management believes that the existing provision for
loan losses is adequate based on their evaluation of known and
inherent risk characteristics of the loan portfolio.

Non-Interest Income
- -------------------
     Non-interest income for the third quarter of 1997 increased
by $21,000, or 64.9%, compared to the third quarter of 1996. 
Non-interest income for the first nine months of 1997 increased
by $130,000, or 68.9%, from the first nine months of 1996.  These
increases are the result of increases in gains on sale of loans
of $54,000 for the third quarter of 1997 and $203,000 for the
first nine months of 1997 when compared to the same periods in
the previous year.  This increase was principally caused by the
adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards #122
which requires that the Company capitalizes the rights to service
all mortgage loans.   The increase in non-interest income for the
nine months ended June 30, 1997, was partially offset by a
decrease in gains on sales of investments of $37,000, or 100%,
and a decrease in servicing fees of $40,000, or 21.6%,  compared
to the same period in the prior year.

Non-Interest Expense
- --------------------
     Non-interest expense decreased by $96,000 or 7.9%, to $1.1
million for the nine month period ended June 30, 1997, from $1.2
million for the nine month period ended June 30, 1996.  This 
resulted from a decrease in salaries and employee benefits
related to accrued benefits for the director's retirement plan
and the management recognition plan and a decrease in deposit
insurance due to the restructuring of the Savings Association
Insurance Fund.  Non-interest expense for the third quarter of
1997 increased $18,000, or 4.9%, from the third quarter of 1996.

Income Taxes
- ------------
     Income tax provisions for three and nine month periods ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996, are generally reflective of the amounts
of the company's pre-tax income and the effective income tax rate
then in effect.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
     The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid
assets as defined by OTS regulations.  This requirement, which
varies from time to time depending upon economic conditions and
deposit flows, is based upon a percentage of deposits and short-
term borrowings.  The required ratio currently is 5.0%.  The
Bank's liquidity ratio averaged 6.53% for the  period ended June
30, 1997.  The Bank adjusts its liquidity levels in order to meet
funding needs of deposit outflows, payment of real estate taxes
on mortgage loans and repayment of borrowings and loan
commitments.  The Bank also adjusts liquidity as appropriate to
meet its asset and liability management objectives.

     The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, sale of
mortgage loans, amortization and prepayment of loans, maturities
of investment securities and other investments, borrowings
through advances from the FHLB, and earnings and funds provided
from operations.  While scheduled principal repayments on loans
are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and
loan prepayments are greatly influenced by interest rates,
economic conditions, and competition.  The Bank manages the
pricing of its deposits to maintain a desired deposit balance. 
In addition, the Bank invests in short-term interest-earning
assets, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements. 
The Bank periodically uses advances from the FHLB of Atlanta for
liquidity purposes.

     During the nine months ended June 30, 1997, the company's
cash and cash equivalents (cash and short-term investments with
maturities less than 90 days) decreased by $31,000.  Cash was
provided by operating activities of $553,000, net proceeds from
sales of loans of $13.19 million, net increases in deposit
accounts of $3.46 million, and proceeds from sales of real estate
owned of $322,000.  These were offset by an increase in loan
originations, net of repayments of $13.18 million, a decrease in
advances from FHLB of $2.25 million, and cash dividends and
return of capital paid of $2.22 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)
- -------------------------------

     Management monitors projected liquidity needs and determines
the level desirable based in part on commitments to make loans
and management's assessments of their ability to generate funds. 
Loan commitments at June 30, 1997, including loans-in-process,
were $2.6 million.  These commitments are expected to be funded
from liquid assets, cash flow from loan repayments, and, if
needed, advances from FHLB of Atlanta.

     Under the regulatory capital requirements of the OTS, the
Bank is required to maintain minimum capital requirements by
satisfying three capital standards:  a tangible capital
requirement, a leverage ratio requirement, and a risk-based
capital requirement.  Under the tangible capital requirement, the
Bank's tangible capital (the amount of capital computed under
generally accepted accounting principles) must be equal to 1.5%
of adjusted total assets.  Under the leverage ratio requirement,
the Bank's core capital must be equal to 3.0% of adjusted total
assets.  In addition, under the risk-based capital requirement,
the Bank must maintain core and supplemental capital (core
capital plus any general loss reserves) equal to 8% of risk-
weighted assets (total assets, plus off-balance-sheet items
multiplied by the appropriate risk weight).

     The following table presents the Bank's capital position
based on the June 30, 1997, financial statements:
