NEWS RELEASE

SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION ANNOUNCES INCREASE IN
THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS

Aiken, South Carolina (January 23, 2007) - Security Federal Corporation
(OTCBB:SFDL.OB), the holding company of Security Federal Bank, today announced
earnings for the third quarter of its fiscal year ending March 31, 2007.  The
Company reported net income of $977,000 or $0.37 per share (basic) for the
three months ending December 31, 2006, a 2.0% increase from net income of
$958,000 or $0.38 per share (basic) for the three months ending December 31,
2005.  For the nine months ending December 31, 2006, net income increased 6.7%
to $3.0 million or $1.16 per share (basic) from $2.8 million or $1.12 per
share (basic) for the nine months ending December 31, 2005.  The increase in
quarterly earnings is the result of a $196,000 increase in net interest
income, a $354,000 increase in non-interest income, and a $66,000 decrease in
provision for income taxes offset partially by a $612,000 increase in
non-interest expense.  For the nine months ending December 31, 2006, the
increase in earnings is the result of a $987,000 increase in net interest
income and a $764,000 increase in non-interest income offset partially by a
$1.6 million increase in non-interest expense.

Total assets at December 31, 2006 were $714.6 million compared to $658.7
million at March 31, 2006, an increase of $55.9 million or 8.5% for the
nine-month period.  Net loans receivable increased $46.4 million or 12.4% to
$421.5 million at December 31, 2006 from $375.1 million at March 31, 2006.
Total deposits increased $28.4 million or 5.9% to $507.6 million at December
31, 2006 compared to $479.2 million at March 31, 2006.  Federal Home Loan Bank
advances, other borrowings, and junior subordinated debentures increased $21.7
million or 15.7% to $160.4 million at December 31, 2006 from $138.7 million at
March 31, 2006.

During the three months ended December 31, 2006, the Company acquired land in
northeast Richland County to further expand its branch network.  The Company
previously acquired lots in north Aiken and Ballentine, South Carolina, and in
Evans, Georgia, which it intends to use for future branches.  Construction
began recently on the Evans branch facility.  These additional branches will
diversify the Company's markets from primarily Aiken and Lexington Counties to
also include Richland County, South Carolina and Columbia County, Georgia.  In
June 2006, the Company acquired Collier Jennings, a local insurance agency in
order to diversify its revenue base.  It is believed that these expansions
will have a short-term negative impact on earnings, but should have a positive
impact on earnings over the long term.

Security Federal Bank has eleven full service branch locations in Aiken,
Clearwater, Graniteville, Langley, Lexington, North Augusta, Wagener, and West
Columbia, South Carolina.  Additional financial services are provided by three
of the Bank's wholly owned subsidiaries, Security Federal Insurance, Inc.,
Security Federal Investments, Inc., and Security Federal Trust, Inc.
