SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION ANNOUNCES QUARTERLY EARNINGS
- ---------------------------------------------------------

Security Federal Corporation, parent company of Security Federal Bank,
announced a 29% increase in earnings to $923,000 or $0.37 per share for the
three months ending June 30, 2003 compared to $717,000 or $0.28 per share for
the three months ending June 30, 2002.  The quarter ending June 30th is the
first quarter of the Company's fiscal year.

Contributing to the increase in earnings were increases of $353,000 or 122% in
the gain on sale of loans and $70,000 or 25% in fees on deposit accounts.
Decreases of $150,000 or 33% in the provision for loan losses and $35,000 or
1.3% in general and administrative expenses also contributed to the net
increase in earnings.  Net interest income decreased $124,000 or 4.9% due to
shrinking net interest margins.    Total net loans receivable were $242.7
million at June 30, 2003 compared to $243.2 million at March 31, 2003 and
$233.5 million at June 30, 2002.  Total deposits increased $3.7 million to
$362.2 million during the quarter ending June 30, 2003.  Compared to deposits
at June 30, 2002, the increase in deposits was $46.3 million or 14.7%.  Total
assets of the Company increased to $455.0 million at June 30, 2003.  This was
an increase of 2.2% from $444.9 million in total assets at March 31, 2003 and
an increase of 18.3% from $384.6 million at June 30, 2002.

Security Federal Bank has eleven full service branch locations in Aiken,
Clearwater, Denmark, Graniteville, Langley, North Augusta, Wagener, and West
Columbia.  The Bank will be opening a new full service branch in Lexington,
South Carolina in August 2003.  Additional financial services are provided by
