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


Aiken, South Carolina (October 28, 2003) - Security Federal Corporation
(OTCBB:  SFDL), parent company of Security Federal Bank, announced a 9%
increase in earnings to $890,000 or $0.35 per share for the three months
ending September 30, 2003 compared to $814,000 or $0.32 per share for the
three months ending September 30, 2002.

For the six months ending September 30, 2003, earnings increased 18% to $1.8
million or $0.72 per share compared to $1.5 million or $0.61 per share for the
six months ending September 30, 2002.  The increases in earnings are
attributable to increases in non- interest income offset partially by
decreases in net interest income due to shrinking interest margins.

Total net loans receivable were $237.8 million at September 30, 2003 compared
to $243.2 million at March 31, 2003.  Total deposits increased $25.5 million
to $383.9 million during the six months ending September 30, 2003, an increase
of 7.1%. Total assets increased to $492.6 million at September 30, 2003.  This
was an increase of 10.7% from $444.9 million in total assets at March 31,
2003.

Clearwater, Denmark, Graniteville, Langley, Lexington, North Augusta, Wagener,
