(1)  Organization

     Security Financial Bancorp Inc. ("Security Financial" or "the Company") was
incorporated under the laws of Delaware in September 1999 for the purpose of
serving as the holding company of Security Federal Bank & Trust ("Security
Federal" or "the Bank") as part of Security Federal's conversion from the mutual
to stock form of organization. The conversion, completed on January 5, 2000,
resulted in Security Financial issuing a total of 1,938,460 shares of its common
stock, par value $.01 per share, at a price of $10 per share. Prior to the
conversion, Security Financial had not engaged in any material operations and
had no assets or income. Security Financial is currently a savings and loan
holding company and is subject to regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision
and the Securities and Exchange Commission. Prior to the conversion, Security
Federal was known as Security Federal Bank, a Federal Savings Bank.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.

         The following presents management's discussion and analysis of the
results of operations and financial condition of Security Financial as of the
dates and for the periods indicated. This discussion should be read in
conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and the notes
thereto and other financial data appearing elsewhere in the annual report.

Forward-Looking Statements

         This quarterly report contains certain forward-looking statements,
which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies,
and expectations of the Company. These forward-looking statements are generally
identified by use of the words "believe," "expect," "intend," "anticipate,"
"estimate," "project," or similar expressions. The Company's

                                       8


ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is
inherently uncertain. Factors that could have a material adverse effect on the
operations of the Company and the subsidiaries include, but are not limited to,
changes in interest rates, general economic conditions, legislative/regulatory
changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. government including policies
of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board, the quality or composition
of the loan or investment portfolios, demand for loan products, deposit flows,
competition, demand for financial services in the Company's market area, and
accounting principles and guidelines. These risks and uncertainties should be
considered in evaluating forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should
not be placed on such statements. The Company does not undertake--and
specifically disclaims any obligation--to publicly release the result of any
revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events
or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence
of anticipated or unanticipated events.

General

     The Company is engaged primarily in attracting deposits from the general
public and using such deposits to originate loans secured by one-to-four-family
residential real estate properties, commercial loans and commercial real estate
properties located in its market area and, to a lesser extent, consumer and
other loans primarily in its market areas and to acquire securities. Security
Federal also offers insurance products through its wholly owned insurance
agency, The Boulevard, Inc., and trust services through its trust department.
The Company's revenues are derived principally from interest earned on loans and
securities, gains from sales of first mortgage loans in the secondary market,
and fees from other banking-related services. The operations of the Company are
influenced significantly by general economic conditions and by policies of
financial institution regulatory agencies, primarily the Office of Thrift
Supervision and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company's cost of
funds is influenced by interest rates on competing investments and general
market interest rates. Lending activities and mortgage loan sales volumes are
affected by the demand for financing of real estate and other types of loans,
which in turn is affected by the interest rates at which such financings may be
offered.

     The Company's net interest income is dependent primarily upon the
difference or spread between the average yield earned on loans receivable and
securities and the average rate paid on deposits, as well as the relative
amounts of such assets and liabilities. The Company, like other thrift
institutions, is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its
interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice at different times or on a
different basis than its interest-earning assets.

     The following analysis discusses changes in the financial condition and
results of operations at and for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and
should be read in conjunction with Security Financial's unaudited consolidated
financial statements and the notes thereto, appearing in Part I, Item 1 of this
document.

                                       9


COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND JUNE 30, 2002

     Total assets decreased by $2.3 million from $201.2 million at June 30, 2002
to $198.9 million at September 30, 2002.

     Net loans decreased to $101.6 million at September 30, 2002 from $105.5
million at June 30, 2002, or 3.7%. Residential mortgage loan balances declined
by $3.5 million as loans pay down or refinance. These balances do not get
replaced by new originations because the Bank sells the majority of the fixed
rate long-term mortgages that it originates. Consumer loans declined by $500,000
as loans from the Bank's discontinued indirect lending program pay down.
Commercial loan balances were up slightly.

     Total deposits decreased to $145.9 million at September 30, 2002, from
$148.3 million at June 30, 2002, a decrease of $2.4 million. The decrease was
caused by a $2.9 million decline in time deposits.

     Total stockholders' equity at September 30, 2002 was $37.1 million compared
to $36.9 million at June 30, 2002. The increase resulted from net income for the
three months ended September 30, 2002 of $125,000; a $53,000 increase related to
the release of ESOP shares; and a $59,000 increase related to Incentive Plan
stock awards earned. The increase was partially offset by a $53,000 decrease in
the fair value of securities available for sale, net of taxes.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002
AND 2001

     General. Net income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 was
$125,000 compared to net income of $238,000 for the comparable period in 2001, a
decrease of $113,000. The decrease is primarily attributable to a $362,000
decrease in net interest income. This decrease in net interest income was
partially offset by a decrease of $180,000 in noninterest expense, a decrease of
$35,000 in the loan loss provision, and a $32,000 decrease in income taxes.

     Interest Income. Interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2002
was $2.4 million compared to $3.4 million for the quarter ended September 30,
2001, a decrease of $916,000, or 27.2%. The decrease was primarily attributable
to a significant decrease in the yield earned on our interest earning assets
which decreased to 5.31% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002
from 7.17% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2001. A decrease in
the average balance of interest earning assets to $184.5 million for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2002 from $187.7 million for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2001, also contributed to the decrease in
interest income.

     Interest Expense. Interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2002
was $1.1 million compared to $1.6 million for the quarter ended September 30,
2001, a decrease of $554,000, or 34.2%. The decrease was primarily attributable
to a decrease in market interest rates. The Company's interest expense to
average interest-earning assets decreased to 2.31% for the quarter ended
September 30, 2002 from 3.45% for the quarter ended September 30, 2001. The
Company's cost of funds decreased to 2.72% for the quarter ended September 30,
2002 from 3.97% for the quarter ended September 30, 2001.

                                       10


     Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased to $1.4 million for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2002 from $1.7 million, a decrease of
$362,000, or 20.7%. The net interest margin decreased to 3.0% from 3.72% during
the same periods. The decrease in the net interest margin is primarily
attributable to a significant decrease in market interest rates.

     Provision for Loan Losses. We establish provisions for loan losses, which
are charged to operations, at a level management believes is appropriate to
reflect probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. In evaluating the
level of the allowance for loan losses, we evaluate larger commercial,
commercial real estate, and construction loans individually for impairment based
upon collateral values, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's
ability to repay, and other factors. Smaller balance homogeneous mortgage
consumer loans are evaluated independently based upon loss factors derived from
historical loss experience, peer group information, and similar factors adjusted
for current economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as is
requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more
information becomes available or as future events change. Based on our
evaluation of these factors, management made provisions of $10,000 and $45,000
for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. We used
the same methodology and generally similar assumptions in assessing the adequacy
of the allowance for both periods. The allowance for loan losses was $1.5
million, or 1.43% of loans outstanding at September 30, 2002, as compared with
$1.5 million, or 1.38% of loans outstanding at June 30, 2002. The allowance for
loan losses to non-performing loans was 58.7% at September 30, 2002, as compared
to 60.1% at June 30, 2002. The level of the allowance is based on estimates and
the ultimate losses may vary from the estimates. Management assesses the
allowance for loan losses on a monthly basis and makes provisions for loan
losses as necessary in order to maintain the adequacy of the allowance. While
management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future loan
loss provisions may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In
addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination
process, periodically review the allowance for loan losses and may require us to
recognize additional provisions based on their judgment of information available
to them at the time of their examination. The allowance for loan losses as of
September 30, 2002 was maintained at a level that represents management's best
estimate of probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio.

     Noninterest Income. Noninterest income was $399,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2002 compared to $397,000 for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2001, an increase of $2,000. The increase was primarily
attributable to an increase of $17,000 in deposit service charges and an
increase of $40,000 from gains on the sale of mortgage loans from secondary
market activities. These increases were partially offset by a $30,000 decrease
in gains on the sale of real estate owned, a decrease of $7,000 of income on
bank owned life insurance, a decrease in loan charges and service fees of
$4,000, a decrease in insurance commission income of $4,000, and a $10,000
decrease in other income.

     Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense decreased to $1.6 million for the
quarter ended September 30, 2002 compared to $1.8 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 2001, a decrease of $180,000, or 10.0%. The decrease was primarily
attributable to continued decreases in occupancy and equipment expense totaling
$64,000, a $45,000 decrease in data processing expense, a $35,000 decrease in
legal fees, a $24,000 reduction in compensation and benefits and a $5,000
decrease in advertising expense. Occupancy and equipment decreased primarily due
to a significant amount of furniture/equipment becoming fully depreciated. Data
processing expense decreased due to a reduction in service bureau costs related
to our computer conversion in August 2001 and compensation expense decreased due
to a decrease of two full-time equivalent employees and decreases in directors
fees.

                                       11


     Income Taxes. The Company recorded income tax expense of $39,000 for the
quarter ended September 30, 2002. This compares to $71,000 of tax expense being
recorded during the quarter ended September 30, 2001.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits and proceeds from
principal and interest payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities. While
maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable
sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced
by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. The Company
generally manages the pricing of its deposits to be competitive and to increase
core deposit relationships.

     OTS regulations require the Bank to maintain sufficient liquidity to
maintain the Bank's safe and sound operation.

     The Company's cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications:
cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing
activities. Cash flows used in operating activities were $90,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2002. Cash flows provided by operating activities
were $512,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. Net cash from
investing activities consisted primarily of disbursements for loan originations
and the purchase of securities, offset by principal collections on loans and
proceeds from maturation and calls of securities. Net cash from financing
activities consisted primarily of the activity in deposit and escrow accounts
and the purchase of treasury stock.

     The Company's most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The levels
of these assets are dependent on the Company's operating, financing, lending,
and investing activities during any given period. At September 30, 2002, cash
and cash equivalents totaled $40.4 million. The Company has other sources of
liquidity if a need for additional funds arises, including securities maturing
within one year and the repayment of loans. The Company may also utilize the
sale of securities available for sale, federal funds purchased, and Federal Home
Loan Bank advances as a source of funds. At September 30, 2002, the Company had
the ability to borrow a total of approximately $23 million from the Federal Home
Loan Bank of Indianapolis. On that date, the Company had $15 million of
outstanding advances.

     At September 30, 2002, the Company had outstanding commitments to originate
loans of $8.6 million. Of this total, $7.9 million had fixed rates and $700,000
had not locked in a rate yet. These loans are to be secured by properties
located in its market area. The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient
funds available to meet its current loan commitments. Loan commitments have, in
recent periods, been funded through liquidity or through FHLB borrowings.
Certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature in one year or less from
September 30, 2002 totaled $70.7 million. Management believes, based on past
experience, that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with the
Company. Based on the foregoing, in addition to the Company's high level of core
deposits and capital, the Company considers its liquidity and capital resources
sufficient to meet its outstanding short-term and long-term needs.

                                       12


     Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term responsibility of
management. The Company adjusts its investments in liquid assets based upon
management's assessment of (i) expected loan demand, (ii) expected deposit
flows, (iii) yields available on interest-earning deposits and investment
securities, and (iv) the objectives of its asset/liability management program.
Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning overnight
deposits and short- and intermediate-term U.S. government and agency obligations
and mortgage-backed securities of short duration. If the Company requires funds
beyond its ability to generate them internally, it has additional borrowing
capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis.

     The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements imposed by
the OTS. At September 30, 2002, the Company was in compliance with all
applicable capital requirements.

     Security Federal's actual and required capital amounts and rates are
presented below (in thousands).

IMPACT OF ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In October of 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
released a new statement, SFAS No. 147 entitled "Acquisitions of Certain
Financial Institutions," allowing financial institutions meeting certain
criteria to reclassify unidentifiable intangible asset balances to goodwill and
cease amortization beginning as of January 1, 2002. This pronouncement is not
expected to have an impact on the Company's financial statements.

Item 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK.

     In an attempt to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates,
management monitors Security Federal's interest rate risk. The Board of
Directors reviews at least quarterly Security Federal's interest rate risk
position and profitability. The Board of Directors also reviews Security
Federal's portfolio, formulates investment strategies, and oversees the timing
and implementation of transactions to ensure attainment of Security Federal's
objectives in the most effective manner. In addition, the Board reviews on a
quarterly basis Security Federal's asset/liability position, including
simulations of the effect on Security Federal's capital of various interest rate
scenarios.

     In managing its asset/liability mix, Security Federal, depending on the
relationship between long- and short-term interest rates, market conditions, and
consumer preference, often places more emphasis on managing short-term net
interest margin than on better matching the interest rate sensitivity of its
assets and liabilities in an effort to enhance net interest income. Management
believes that the increased net interest income resulting from a mismatch in the
maturity of its asset and liability portfolios can, during periods of declining
or stable interest rates, provide high enough returns to justify the increased
exposure to sudden and unexpected increases in interest rates.

                                       14


     The Board has taken a number of steps to manage Security Federal's
vulnerability to changes in interest rates. First, Security Federal uses
customer service and marketing efforts to increase Security Federal's
non-certificate accounts. At September 30, 2002, $67.8 million, or 46%, of
Security Federal's deposits consisted of demand, NOW, money market accounts, and
savings. Security Federal believes that these accounts represent "core"
deposits, which are generally somewhat less interest rate sensitive than other
types of deposit accounts. Second, while Security Federal continues to originate
30-year, fixed-rate residential loans, all such loans are sold in the secondary
market. Currently, over 49% of Security Federal's loans carry adjustable
interest rates. Finally, Security Federal has focused a significant portion of
its investment activities on securities with terms of five years or less. At
September 30, 2002, $8.5 million, or 23%, of Security Federal's securities had
terms to maturity of five years or less based on their carrying value in
addition to Security Federal's mortgage-backed securities, which provide for
regular principal repayments.

     The Office of Thrift Supervision provides the Company with the information
presented in the following table. It presents the change in the Company's net
portfolio value at June 30, 2002 that would occur upon an immediate change in
interest rates based on Office of Thrift Supervision assumptions, but without
effect to any steps that management might take to counteract that change. The
June 30, 2002 information is the most recent data available as of the filing
date.

           100          37,302       (298)       (0.8)       18.02                (5) bp

     The Office of Thrift Supervision uses certain assumptions in assessing the
interest rate risk of savings associations. These assumptions relate to interest
rates, loan prepayment rates, deposit decay rates, and the market values of
certain assets under differing interest rate scenarios, among others. Based upon
the model at June 30, 2002, the effect of an immediate 300 basis point increase
or 100 basis point decrease would have a negative impact on the net portfolio
value. Due to the level of interest rates at June 30, 2002, the OTS did not
model an additional 200 or 300 basis point decrease in rates.

     As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings
are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table. For
example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or
periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market
interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and
liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while
interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates.
Additionally, certain assets, such as

                                       15


adjustable rate mortgage loans, have features that restrict changes in interest
rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, if interest
rates change, expected rates of prepayments on loans and early withdrawals from
certificates could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the
table.

Item 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)      EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. The Company maintains
controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Based upon their evaluation of those controls and procedures
performed within 90 days of the filing date of this report, the Chief Executive
Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company concluded that the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures were adequate.

(b)      CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS. The Company made no significant changes
in its internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect
these controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation of those controls by the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

                                  CERTIFICATION

I, John P. Hyland, certify that:

          1.   I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Security
               Financial Bancorp, Inc.;

          2.   Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any
               untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
               fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the
               circumstances under which such statements were made, not
               misleading with respect to the period covered by this quarterly
               report;

          3.   Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other
               financial information included in this quarterly report, fairly
               present in all material respects the financial condition, results
               of operations and cash flows of the registrant as of, and for,
               the periods presented in this quarterly report;

          4.   The registrant's other certifying officers and I are responsible
               for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and
               procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14)
               for the registrant and we have:

               a.   designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure
                    that material information relating to the registrant,
                    including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us
                    by others within those entities, particularly during the
                    period in which this quarterly report is being prepared;

               b.   evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure
                    controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to
                    the filing date of this quarterly report (the "Evaluation
                    Date"); and

               c.   presented in this quarterly report our conclusions about the
                    effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures
                    based on our evaluation as of the Evaluation Date;

          5.   The registrant's other certifying officers and I have disclosed,
               based on our most recent evaluation, to the registrant's auditors
               and the audit committee of registrant's board of directors (or
               persons performing the equivalent function):

               a.   all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of
                    the internal controls which could adversely affect the
                    registrant's ability to record, process, summarize and
                    report financial data and have identified for the
                    registrant's auditors any material weaknesses in internal
                    controls; and

               b.   any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management
                    or other employees who have a significant role in the
                    registrant's internal controls; and

          6.   The registrant's other certifying officers and I have indicated
               in this quarterly report whether or not there were significant

                                          Chief Executive Officer and President

                                                             CERTIFICATION

I, Patrick J. Hunt, certify that:

          1.   I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Security
               Financial Bancorp, Inc.;

          2.   Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any
               untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
               fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the
               circumstances under which such statements were made, not
               misleading with respect to the period covered by this quarterly
               report;

          3.   Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other
               financial information included in this quarterly report, fairly
               present in all material respects the financial condition, results
               of operations and cash flows of the registrant as of, and for,
               the periods presented in this quarterly report;

          4.   The registrant's other certifying officers and I are responsible
               for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and
               procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14)
               for the registrant and we have:

               a.   designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure
                    that material information relating to the registrant,
                    including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us
                    by others within those entities, particularly during the
                    period in which this quarterly report is being prepared;

               b.   evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure
                    controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to
                    the filing date of this quarterly report (the "Evaluation
                    Date"); and

               c.   presented in this quarterly report our conclusions about the
                    effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures
                    based on our evaluation as of the Evaluation Date;

          5.   The registrant's other certifying officers and I have disclosed,
               based on our most recent evaluation, to the registrant's auditors
               and the audit committee of registrant's board of directors (or
               persons performing the equivalent function):

               a.   all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of
                    the internal controls which could adversely affect the
                    registrant's ability to record, process, summarize and
                    report financial data and have identified for the
                    registrant's auditors any material weaknesses in internal
                    controls; and

               b.   any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management
                    or other employees who have a significant role in the
                    registrant's internal controls; and

          6.   The registrant's other certifying officers and I have indicated
               in this quarterly report whether or not there were significant
               changes in internal controls or in other factors that could
               significantly affect the internal controls subsequent to the date
               of our most recent evaluation, including any corrective actions
               with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
