1.  
Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; therefore, they do not include all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.  Such statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of results for the selected interim periods.  Users of financial information produced for interim periods are encouraged to refer to the footnotes contained in the audited financial statements appearing in Security Federal Corporation’s 2010 Annual Report to Shareholders, which was filed as an exhibit to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2010, when reviewing interim financial statements.  The results of operations for the six-month period ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year.  This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations, and business of the Company.  These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties.  Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the general business environment, interest rates, the South Carolina real estate market, the demand for loans, competitive conditions between banks and non-bank financial services providers, regulatory changes, and other factors and risks detailed in the Company’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 (“2010 10-K”).  Management cautions readers of this Form 10-Q not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained herein.

2.  
Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Security Federal Corporation (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Security Federal Bank (the “Bank”) and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Security Federal Insurance, Inc. (“SFINS”) and Security Financial Services Corporation (“SFSC”). SFINS was formed during fiscal 2002 and began operating during the December 2001 quarter and is an insurance agency offering auto, business, health, and home insurance.
SFINS has a wholly owned subsidiary, Collier Jennings Financial Corporation which has as subsidiaries Collier Jennings Inc., The Auto Insurance Store Inc., and Security Federal Premium Pay Plans Inc. (the “Collier Jennings Companies”). SFSC is currently an inactive subsidiary.

Prior to April 1, 2009, the Bank had two additional subsidiaries: Security Federal Investments, Inc. (“SFINV”) and Security Federal Trust Inc. (“SFT”). SFINV provided primarily investment brokerage services.  SFT offered trust, financial planning and financial management services. On April 1, 2009, the assets and operations of SFINV and SFT were dissolved into the Bank. The services of these two entities are now offered through the trust and investment divisions of the Bank.

The Company has a wholly owned subsidiary, Security Federal Statutory Trust (the “Trust”), which issued and sold fixed and floating rate capital securities of the Trust.  However, under current accounting guidance, the Trust is not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements.  The Bank is primarily engaged in the business of accepting savings and demand deposits and originating mortgage loans and other loans to individuals and small businesses for various personal and commercial purposes.

3.  Critical Accounting Policies

The Company has adopted various accounting policies, which govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States in the preparation of our financial statements.  Our significant accounting policies are described in the footnotes to the audited consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2010 included in our 2010 Annual Report to Stockholders, which was filed as an exhibit to our Annual Report on 2010 10-K.  Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by management, which have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities.  We consider these accounting policies to be critical accounting policies.  The judgments and assumptions we use are based on historical experience and other factors, which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions we make, actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates which could have a material impact on our carrying values of assets and liabilities and our results of operations.

 

 
 
Security Federal Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

 
The Company believes the allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting policy that requires the most significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements.  The Company provides for loan losses using the allowance method.  Accordingly, all loan losses are charged to the related allowance and all recoveries are credited to the allowance for loan losses.  Additions to the allowance for loan losses are provided by charges to operations based on various factors, which, in management’s judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating possible losses.  Such factors considered by management include the fair value of the underlying collateral, stated guarantees by the borrower (if applicable), the borrower’s ability to repay from other economic resources, growth and composition of the loan portfolio, the relationship of the allowance for loan losses to the outstanding loans, loss experience, delinquency trends, and general economic conditions.  Management evaluates the carrying value of the loans periodically and the allowance is adjusted accordingly.

While management uses the best information available to make evaluations, future adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making these evaluations.  The allowance for loan losses is subject to periodic evaluations by various authorities and may be subject to adjustments based upon the information that is available at the time of their examination.

The Company values impaired loans at the loan’s fair value if it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the terms of the loan agreement at the present value of expected cash flows, the market price of the loan, if available, or the value of the underlying collateral.  Expected cash flows are required to be discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate.  When the ultimate collectibility of an impaired loan’s principal is in doubt, wholly or partially, all cash receipts are applied to principal.  When this doubt does not exist, cash receipts are applied under the contractual terms of the loan agreement first to interest and then to principal.  Once the recorded principal balance has been reduced to zero, future cash receipts are applied to interest income to the extent that any interest has been foregone.  Further cash receipts are recorded as recoveries of any amounts previously charged off.

The Company uses assumptions and estimates in determining income taxes payable or refundable for the current year, deferred income tax liabilities and assets for events recognized differently in its financial statements and income tax returns, and income tax expense. Determining these amounts requires analysis of certain transactions and interpretation of tax laws and regulations. The Company exercises considerable judgment in evaluating the amount and timing of recognition of the resulting tax liabilities and assets. These judgments and estimates are reevaluated on a continual basis as regulatory and business factors change. No assurance can be given that either the tax returns submitted by us or the income tax reported on the Consolidated Financial Statements will not be adjusted by either adverse rulings by the United States Tax Court, changes in the tax code, or assessments made by the Internal Revenue Service.

4.   Earnings Per Common Share

Accounting guidance specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings per share (“EPS”) for entities with publicly held common stock or potential common stock such as options, warrants, convertible securities or contingent stock agreements if those securities trade in a public market. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted EPS is similar to the computation of basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive common shares had been issued.  The dilutive effect of options outstanding under the Company’s stock option plan is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. The reverse treasury stock method is used to determine the dilutive effect of the mandatorily redeemable shares outstanding, which were issued by the Company in conjunction with the acquisition of the Collier-Jennings Companies.

Net income available to common shareholders represents consolidated net income adjusted for preferred dividends declared, accretions of discounts and amortization of premiums on preferred stock issuances and cumulative dividends related to the current dividend period that have not been declared as of period end. The following table provides a reconciliation of net income to net income available to common shareholders for the periods presented:

7.    Carrying Amounts and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Effective April 1, 2008, the Company adopted accounting guidance which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value under generally accepted accounting principles. This guidance applies to reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value under existing accounting pronouncements; accordingly, the standard does not require any new fair value measurements of reported balances.

Accounting guidance emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

Level 1
Valuation is based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an active exchange market, as well as U.S. Treasuries and money market funds.
Level 2
Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments, mortgage-backed securities, municipal bonds, corporate debt securities and derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. This category generally includes certain derivative contracts and impaired loans.
Level 3
Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption based on unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value.

Investment Securities Available for Sale

Investment securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. At September 30, 2010, the Company’s investment portfolio was comprised of government and agency bonds, mortgage-backed securities issued by government agencies or government sponsored enterprises, and one equity investment. The portfolio did not contain any private label mortgage-backed securities. Fair value measurement is based upon prices obtained from third party pricing services who use independent pricing models which rely on a variety of factors including reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, benchmark yields, economic and industry events and other relevant market information. As such, these securities are classified as Level 2.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale

The Company originates fixed rate residential loans on a servicing released basis in the secondary market. Loans closed but not yet settled with Freddie Mac or other investors, are carried in the Company’s loans held for sale portfolio.  These loans are fixed rate residential loans that have been originated in the Company’s name and have closed.  Virtually all of these loans have commitments to be purchased by investors and the majority of these loans were locked in by price with the investors on the same day or shortly thereafter that the loan was locked in with the Company’s customers.

Impaired Loans

The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment.
 
 
Fair value is estimated using one of the following methods: fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sale, discounted cash flows, or market value of the loan based on similar debt. The fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell is the most frequently used method. Typically, the Company reviews the most recent appraisal and if it is over 24 months old will request a new third party appraisal. Depending on the particular circumstances surrounding the loan, including the location of the collateral, the date of the most recent appraisal and the value of the collateral relative to the recorded investment in the loan, management may order an independent appraisal immediately or, in some instances, may elect to perform an internal analysis. Specifically as an example, in situations where the collateral on a nonperforming commercial real estate loan is out of the Company’s primary market area, management would typically order an independent appraisal immediately, at the earlier of the date the loan becomes nonperforming or immediately following the determination that the loan is impaired. However, as a second example, on a nonperforming commercial real estate loan where management is familiar with the property and surrounding areas and where the original appraisal value far exceeds the recorded investment in the loan, management may perform an internal analysis whereby the previous appraisal value would be reviewed and adjusted for recent conditions including recent sales of similar properties in the area and any other relevant economic trends. These valuations are reviewed at a minimum on a quarterly basis.

Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. At September 30, 2010, substantially all of the total impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral. Impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3.

As of September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, the recorded investment in impaired loans was $43.7 million and $35.3 million, respectively. The average recorded investment in impaired loans was $43.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 and $33.6 million for the year ended March 31, 2010.

Foreclosed Assets

Foreclosed assets are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to foreclosed assets. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 2.

When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the asset as nonrecurring Level 3.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and identified intangible assets are subject to impairment testing. The Company’s approach to testing for impairment is to compare the business unit’s carrying value to the implied fair value based on a multiple of revenue approach. Impairment testing is performed annually as of September 30th or when events or circumstances occur indicating that goodwill of the reporting unit might be impaired.  In the event the fair value is determined to be less than the carrying value, the asset is recorded at fair value as determined by the valuation model. As such, goodwill and other intangible assets subjected to nonrecurring fair value adjustments are classified as Level 3.

Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instrument
The fair value is determined, in accordance with the underlying agreement at the instrument’s redemption value, as the number of shares issuable pursuant to the agreement at a price per share determined as the greater of a) $26 per share or b) 1.5 times the book value per share of the Company. This instrument is classified as Level 2.

For assets and liabilities that are not presented on the balance sheet at fair value, the following methods are used to determine the fair value:
 
Cash and cash equivalents—The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value. All mature within 90 days and do not present unanticipated credit concerns.
 
Loans—The fair value of loans are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. As discount rates are based on current loan rates as well as management estimates, the fair values presented may not be indicative of the value negotiated in an actual sale.
 
FHLB Stock—The fair value approximates the carrying value.
 
Deposits—The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and money market accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposits is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
 
 Federal Home Loan Bank Advances—Fair value is estimated based on discounted cash flows using current market rates for borrowings with similar terms.
 
Other Borrowed Money—The carrying value of these short term borrowings approximates fair value.

At September 30, 2010, the Bank had $59.2 million of off-balance sheet financial commitments.  These commitments are to originate loans and to fund unused consumer lines of credit and credit card lines.  Because these obligations are based on current market rates, if funded, the original principal is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Fair value estimates are made on a specific date, based on relevant market data and information about the financial instrument.  These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument.  Because no active market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, current interest rates and prepayment trends, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors.  These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in any of these assumptions used in calculating fair value would also significantly affect the estimates. Fair value estimates are based on existing on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments.  For example, the Company has significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial assets or liabilities including deposit franchise values, loan servicing portfolios, deferred tax liabilities, and premises and equipment.

In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of these estimates. The Company has used management’s best estimate of fair value on the above assumptions.  Thus, the fair values presented may not be the amounts, which could be realized, in an immediate sale or settlement of the instrument.  In addition, any income taxes or other expenses that would be incurred in an actual sale or settlement are not taken into consideration in the fair value presented.

8.      Accounting and Reporting Changes

The following is a summary of recent authoritative pronouncements that could impact the accounting, reporting, and/or disclosure of financial information by the Company.

Income Tax guidance was amended in April 2010 to reflect an SEC Staff Announcement after the President signed the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 on March 30, 2010, which amended the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act signed on March 23, 2010.   According to the announcement, although the bills were signed on separate dates, regulatory bodies would not object if the two Acts were considered together for accounting purposes. This view is based on the SEC staff's understanding that the two Acts together represent the current health care reforms as passed by Congress and signed by the President.  The amendment had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In July 2010, the Receivables topic of the ASC was amended to require expanded disclosures related to a company’s allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of its financing receivables. The amendments will require the allowance disclosures to be provided on a disaggregated basis.  The Company is required to begin to comply with the disclosures in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010.

In April 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-18, Receivables (Topic 310):  Effect of a Loan Modification When the Loan Is Part of a Pool That is Accounted for as a Single Asset, which clarifies the accounting for acquired loans that have evidence of a deterioration in credit quality since origination (referred to as “Subtopic 310-30 Loans”). Under this ASU, an entity may not apply troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) accounting guidance to individual Subtopic 310-30 Loans that are part of a pool, even if the modification of those loans would otherwise be considered a troubled debt restructuring. Once a pool is established, individual loans should not be removed from the pool unless the entity sells, forecloses, or writes off the loan. Entities would continue to consider whether the pool of loans is impaired if expected cash flows for the pool change. Subtopic 310-30 Loans that are accounted for individually would continue to be subject to TDR accounting guidance.  A one-time election to terminate accounting for loans as a pool, which may be made on a pool-by-pool basis, is provided upon adoption of the ASU. This ASU is effective for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.  Adoption of this ASU did not significantly impact our consolidated financial statements.

On July 21, 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses, which requires significant new disclosures about the allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of financing receivables. The requirements are intended to enhance transparency regarding credit losses and the credit quality of loan and lease receivables. Under this statement, allowance for credit losses and fair value are to be disclosed by portfolio segment, while credit quality information, impaired financing receivables and nonaccrual status are to be presented by class of financing receivable.  Disclosure of the nature and extent, the financial impact and segment information of troubled debt restructurings will also be required.  The disclosures are to be presented at the level of disaggregation that management uses when assessing and monitoring the portfolio’s risk and performance. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods after December 15, 2010. Adoption of this ASU is not expected to significantly impact our consolidated financial statements.

On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), which significantly changes the regulation of financial institutions and the financial services industry.  The Dodd-Frank Act includes several provisions that will affect how community banks, thrifts, and small bank and thrift holding companies will be regulated in the future.  Among other things, these provisions abolish the Office of Thrift Supervision and transfer its functions to the other federal banking agencies, relax rules regarding interstate branching, allow financial institutions to pay interest on business checking accounts, change the scope of federal deposit insurance coverage, and impose new capital requirements on bank and thrift holding companies.  The Dodd-Frank Act also establishes the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection as an independent entity within the Federal Reserve, which will be given the authority to promulgate consumer protection regulations applicable to all entities offering consumer financial services or products, including banks.  Additionally, the Dodd-Frank Act includes a series of provisions covering mortgage loan origination standards affecting originator compensation, minimum repayment standards, and pre-payments.  Management is reviewing the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act and assessing its probable impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
 
In August 2010, two updates were issued to amend various SEC rules and schedules pursuant to Release No. 33-9026: Technical Amendments to Rules, Forms, Schedules and Codification of Financial Reporting Policies and based on the issuance of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 112.  The amendments related primarily to business combinations and removed references to “minority interest” and added references to “controlling” and “non controlling interests(s)”.  The updates were effective upon issuance but had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

9.      Securities, Continued

Securities classified as available for sale are recorded at fair market value. At September 30, 2010, approximately 10.4% of the unrealized losses, or one individual security, consisted of securities in a continuous loss position for 12 months or more.  At March 31, 2010, approximately 5.5% of unrealized losses, or one individual security, consisted of securities in a continuous loss position for 12 months or more.  The Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities until such time as the value recovers or the securities mature.  The Company believes, based on industry analyst reports and credit ratings, that the deterioration in value is attributable to changes in market interest rates and is not in the credit quality of the issuer and therefore, these losses are not considered other-than-temporary. The Company reviews its investment securities portfolio at least quarterly and more frequently when economic conditions warrant, assessing whether there is any indication of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”). Factors considered in the review include estimated future cash flows, length of time and extent to which market value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and our intent and ability to retain the security to allow for an anticipated recovery in market value.

If the review determines that there is OTTI, then an impairment loss is recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s cost and its fair value at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment is made, or may recognize a portion in other comprehensive income. The fair value of investments on which OTTI is recognized then becomes the new cost basis of the investment.

Investment and mortgage-backed securities available for sale increased $18.4 million or 6.3% to $310.7 million at September 30, 2010 from $292.3 million at March 31, 2010. This increase was the result of investment purchases offset slightly by principal repayments and maturities on securities coupled with the sale of 32 securities consisting primarily of mortgage-backed securities during the six month period ended September 30, 2010. Investment and mortgage-backed securities held to maturity decreased $3.5 million or 18.8% to $15.3 million at September 30, 2010 as a result of calls and maturities of securities during the six month period ended September 30, 2010, as well as principal repayments on mortgage-backed securities. The Company did not purchase or sell any held to maturity securities during the period.

Loans receivable, net, decreased $31.2 million or 5.5% to $537.2 million at September 30, 2010 from $568.4 million at March 31, 2010. This decrease was a result of Company’s efforts to tighten underwriting standards and increase rates combined with lower loan demand.  Residential real estate loans decreased $5.0 million to $113.2 million at September 30, 2010 from $118.3 million at March 31, 2010.  Consumer loans decreased $1.7 million to $66.8 million at September 30, 2010 compared to $68.5 million at March 31, 2010. Commercial real estate loans and commercial business loans decreased $29.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively, to $349.8 million and $16.3 million, respectively, at September 30, 2010 when compared to the balances at March 31, 2010. Loans held for sale increased $5.2 million to $8.4 million at September 30, 2010 from $3.2 million at March 31, 2010.

 
Repossessed assets acquired in settlement of loans increased $4.8 million or 44.8% to $15.6 million at September 30, 2010 from $10.8 million at March 31, 2010.  The Company sold 19 real estate properties and repossessed 21 additional properties during the period for a net decrease during the six month period ended September 30, 2010. At September 30, 2010, the balance of repossessed assets consisted of the following 31 real estate properties: 15 single-family residences located throughout the Company’s market area in South Carolina and Georgia; eight lots within five subdivisions in Aiken County and Lexington County, South Carolina and approximately 17 acres of land in Aiken, South Carolina; and one mobile home and small acreage in Aiken County, South Carolina; two commercial buildings in Lexington County, South Carolina and one commercial buildings in Augusta, Georgia; a 55 lot subdivision development and adjacent 17 acres of land in Columbia, South Carolina; and 34.8 acres of land in Blufton, South Carolina also originally acquired as a participation loan from another financial institution, and a commercial building in Charleston, South Carolina that was a loan originally acquired through a loan broker. In addition to the properties listed above, the balance also included $16,000 in various other repossessed assets that were not real estate.
 

Prepaid FDIC premium decreased $563,000 or 14.1% to $3.4 million at September 30, 2010 compared to $4.0 million at March 31, 2010. This decrease was the result of the amortization of premiums during the period

Other Borrowings- The Bank had $12.3 million and $12.1 million in other borrowings (non-FHLB advances) at September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, respectively.  These borrowings consist of short-term repurchase agreements with certain commercial demand deposit customers for sweep accounts.  The repurchase agreements typically mature within one to three days and the interest rate paid on these borrowings floats monthly with money market type rates. At September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, the interest rate paid on the repurchase agreements was 0.45% and 0.80%, respectively.  The Bank had pledged as collateral for these repurchase agreements investment and mortgage-backed securities with amortized costs and fair values of $18.3 million and $19.4 million at September 30, 2010 and $20.6 million and $21.3 million at March 31, 2010, respectively.

Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instrument – On June 30, 2006, the Company recorded a $1.4 million mandatorily redeemable financial instrument as a result of the acquisition of the Collier-Jennings Companies.  The shareholder of the Collier-Jennings Companies received cash and was issued stock in the Company to settle the acquisition.  The Company released the shares to the shareholder of the Collier-Jennings Companies over a three-year period.  The stock is mandatorily redeemable by the shareholder of the Collier-Jennings Companies in cumulative increments of 20% per year for a five-year period at the greater of $26 per share or one and one-half times the book value of the Company’s stock. At September 30, 2010, the shareholder had not elected to redeem any of the shares.

Security Federal Corporation and Subsidiaries
Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Continued

 
The mandatorily redeemable financial instrument is carried at fair value. At September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, the fair value was $1.7 million based on the Company’s book value per common share. The Company recorded a valuation expense of $85,000 during the six month period ended September 30, 2010 to properly reflect the fair value of the instrument.

Junior Subordinated Debentures – On September 21, 2006, the Trust (Security Federal Statutory Trust), issued and sold fixed and floating rate capital securities of the Trust (the “Capital Securities”), which are reported on the consolidated balance sheet as junior subordinated debentures, generating proceeds of $5.0 million. The Trust loaned these proceeds to the Company to use for general corporate purposes, primarily to provide capital to the Bank. The debentures qualify as Tier 1 capital under Federal Reserve Board guidelines.

The Capital Securities accrue and pay distributions quarterly at a rate per annum equal to a blended rate of 4.57% at September 30, 2010.  One-half of the Capital Securities issued in the transaction has a fixed rate of 6.88% and the remaining half has a floating rate of three-month LIBOR plus 170 basis points, which was 1.99% at September 30, 2010. The distribution rate payable on the Capital Securities is cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears.

The Company has the right, subject to events of default, to defer payments of interest on the Capital Securities for a period not to exceed 20 consecutive quarterly periods, provided that no extension period may extend beyond the maturity date of December 15, 2036. The Company has no current intention to exercise its right to defer payments of interest on the Capital Securities.

The Capital Securities mature or are mandatorily redeemable upon maturity on December 15, 2036, and or upon earlier optional redemption as provided in the indenture. The Company has the right to redeem the Capital Securities in whole or in part, on or after September 15, 2011. The Company may also redeem the capital securities prior to such dates upon occurrence of specified conditions and the payment of a redemption premium.

Convertible Debentures –Effective December 1, 2009, the Company issued $6.1 million in convertible senior debentures. The debentures will mature on December 1, 2029 and accrue interest at the rate of 8.0% per annum until maturity or earlier redemption or repayment. Interest on the debentures is payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing June 1, 2010. The debentures are convertible into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $20 per share at the option of the holder at any time prior to maturity.

The debentures are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company at any time on or after December 1, 2019, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the debentures to be purchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption. The debentures will be unsecured general obligations of the Company ranking equal in right of payment to all of our present and future unsecured indebtedness that is not expressly subordinated.

Equity – Shareholders’ equity increased $10.0 million or 15% to $77.9 million at September 30, 2010 from $67.9 million at March 31, 2010. Accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax increased $1.9 million to $6.6 million at September 30, 2010. The Company’s net income available for common shareholders was $533,00 for the six month period ended September 30, 2010, after preferred stock dividends of $446,000 and accretion of preferred stock of $19,000.  The Board of Directors of the Company declared common stock dividends, totaling $394,000 during the period ended September 30, 2010.  Book value per common share was $19.39 at September 30, 2010 and $20.22 at March 31, 2010.
 
On September 29, 2010, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury  in connection with participation in the Community Development Capital Initiative (the “CDCI”) established by the Treasury pursuant to the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”).  That same day, pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, all 18,000 shares of our Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, liquidation preference amount $1,000 per share previously sold to the Treasury on December 19, 2008 pursuant to the TARP Capital Purchase Program, were exchanged for 18,000 shares of our newly designated Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B, liquidation preference amount $1,000 per share.

In connection with our participation in the CDCI, on September 29, 2010, we also entered into a Letter Agreement with the Treasury, pursuant to which Security Federal Corporation sold an additional 4,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to the Treasury that same day at a price of $4.0 million.  As a result of our participation in the CDCI and the transactions under the Exchange Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, the Treasury now holds 22,000 shares of the Security Federal Corporation Series B Preferred Stock, with an aggregate liquidation preference amount of $22.0 million
 
The additional capital received by us from the Treasury pursuant to the Purchase Agreement was contingent upon the Company’s completion of a separate stock offering of the same amount, as required by our primary regulator, the Office of Thrift Supervision.

Security Federal Corporation and Subsidiaries
Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Continued
 
In satisfaction of this requirement, on September 29, 2010, the Company sold 400,000 shares of its common stock, in a private offering at a price of $10.00 per share, for gross proceeds of $4.0 million.  Together with the gross proceeds of the sale of Series B Preferred Stock to the Treasury pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company raised $8.0 million of capital in the aggregate.

The Company’s non-performing assets decreased $6.3 million to $35.7 million at September 30, 2010 from $42.0 million at March 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily concentrated in non-performing commercial real estate loans which decreased $10.0 million to $15.5 million at September 30, 2010 from $25.5 million at March 31, 2010. The balance in non-performing commercial real estate loans consisted of 43 loans to 27 borrowers with an average loan balance of $360,000.

A large portion of the non-performing commercial real estate category, or $7.0 million consisted of four loans to three separate borrowers. Of this amount, $4.9 million was for two land acquisition and development type loan to two different borrowers (“A&D loans”) in the Midlands area of South Carolina, $1.1 million was secured by an apartment complex in Lexington, South Carolina, and another $ 938,000 loan was secured by a building in Hardeeville, South Carolina.

Of the remaining commercial real estate category development type loans, $1.2 million in loans secured by buildings of which $398,000 was secured by a commercial building in Florida. The balance consisted of $2.8 million in loans secured by raw land and /or lots and $4.5 million in loans that were secured by first mortgages on single family residences.

Repossessed assets acquired in settlement of loans increased $4.8 million to $15.6 million at September 30, 2010 from $10.8 million at March 31, 2010. The Company foreclosed on 21 real estate properties during the period ended September 30, 2010 and sold 19 properties. During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the Bank foreclosed on a building located in Charleston, South Carolina, which accounts for $4.0 million of the increase in repossessed assets at September 30, 2010.

The Bank reviews its loan portfolio and allowance for loan losses on a monthly basis.  Future additions to the Bank's allowance for loan losses are dependent on, among other things, the performance of the Bank's loan portfolio, the economy, changes in real estate values, and interest rates.  There can be no assurance that additions to the allowance will not be required in future periods. The determination of the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses inherently involves a high degree of subjectivity and requires us to make significant estimates of current credit risks and future trends, all of which may undergo material changes. Continuing deterioration in economic conditions affecting borrowers, new information regarding existing loans, identification of additional problem loans and other factors, both within and outside of our control, may require an increase in the allowance for loan losses. In addition, bank regulatory agencies periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require an increase in the provision

Security Federal Corporation and Subsidiaries
Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Continued
 
for possible loan losses or the recognition of further loan charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of management. In addition, if charge-offs in future periods exceed the allowance for loan losses, we will need additional provisions to increase the allowance for loan losses. Any increases in the allowance for loan losses will result in a decrease in net income and, possibly, capital, and may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Management continually monitors its loan portfolio for the impact of local economic changes.  The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans was 2.13% at September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010. The Bank continues to practice conservative lending and past due loans are monitored closely.
 
The cumulative interest not accrued during the six months ended September 30, 2010 relating to all non-performing loans totaled $683,000. At September 30, 2010, the Company did not have any loans that were 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest. Our strategy is to work with our borrowers to reach acceptable payment plans while protecting our interests in the existing collateral.  In the event an acceptable arrangement cannot be reached, we may have to acquire these properties through foreclosure or other means and subsequently sell, develop, or liquidate them.

The balance of loans in troubled debt restructurings increased during the six months ended September 30, 2010. The Bank had 26 loans that were troubled debt restructurings totaling $7.7 million at September 30, 2010 compared to five loans totaling $336,000 at March 31, 2010. All troubled debt restructurings are considered impaired and reviewed for potential impairment losses.  At September 30, 2010, the Bank held $43.7 million in impaired loans including troubled debt restructurings compared to $35.3 million at March 31, 2010. The Bank had specific reserves totaling $700,000 related to $4.0 million in impaired loans at September 30, 2010 compared to $2.0 million in specific reserves related to $10.9 million in impaired loans at March 31, 2010

Results of Operations for the Three Month Periods Ended September 30, 2010 and 2009

Net Income Available to Common Shareholders - Net income available to common shareholders decreased $103,000 or 30.4% to $236,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $339,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in net income was primarily the result of an increase in the Company’s provision for loan losses and general and administrative expenses partially offset by an increase in non-interest income.

Net Interest Income - The net interest margin increased 18 basis points to 3.07% for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 from 2.89% for the comparable quarter in the previous year. Net interest income increased $105,000 or 1.6% to $6.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $6.6  million for the same period in 2009, as a result of decrease in interest expense offset  by a decrease in interest income.  During the three months ended September 30, 2010, average interest earning assets decreased $39.7 million to $873.8 million while average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $24.4 million to $829.0 million.
 

Interest Income - Total interest income decreased $741,000 or 6.3% to $11.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $11.8 million for the same period in 2009. This decrease is primarily the result of the decrease in interest earning assets. Total interest income on loans decreased $227,000 or 2.7% to $8.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2010 as a result of the average loan portfolio balance decreasing $59.3 million, offset slightly by the yield on the loan portfolio increasing 45 basis points. Interest income from mortgage-backed securities decreased $438,000 or 17.3% to $2.1 million as a result of a $6.9 million decrease in the average balance of the portfolio combined with a 64 basis point decrease in yield. Interest income from investment securities decreased $78,000 or 10.4% to $668,000 as a result of a decrease of 134 basis points in the yield partially offset by an increase of $24.0 million in the average balance of the investment securities portfolio.

Interest Expense - Total interest expense decreased $800,000 or 16.4% to $4.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $5.2 million for the same period last year.  The decrease in total interest expense is attributable to decreases in interest rates paid and a $24.4 million decrease in the average balances of interest-bearing liabilities.  Interest expense on deposits decreased $0.8 million or 24.0% during the period ended September 30, 2010. The decrease was attributable to a 63 basis point decrease in the cost of deposits offset by an increase in average interest-bearing deposits of $37.7 million when compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2009.  The decrease in the cost of deposits primarily resulted from maturing certificate accounts re-pricing at lower interest rates. Interest expense on advances and other borrowings decreased $25,000 or 1.5%. The average balance of other borrowings decreased $62.0 million or 26.8% to $169.3 million from the same period last year, directly reflecting the decrease in interest earning assets.

Provision for Loan Losses - The amount of the provision is determined by management’s on-going monthly analysis of the loan portfolio and the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The Company has policies and procedures in place for evaluating and monitoring the overall credit quality of the loan portfolio and for timely identification of potential problem loans including internal and external loan reviews. The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is reviewed monthly by the Asset Classification Committee and quarterly by the Board of Directors.

Management’s monthly review of the adequacy of the allowance includes three main components. The first component is an analysis of loss potential in various homogenous segments of the portfolio based on historical trends and the risk inherent in each category. Previously, management applied a five year historical loss ratio to each loan category to estimate the inherent loss in

these pooled loans. However as a result of the decline in economic conditions and the unprecedented increases in delinquencies and charge offs experienced by the industry in recent periods, the Company no longer considers five year historical losses relevant indicators of future losses. Management began applying 12 to 24 month historical loss ratios to each loan category in recent quarters to more accurately project losses in the near future.

The second component of management’s monthly analysis is the specific review and evaluation of significant problem credits identified through the Company’s internal monitoring system. These loans are evaluated for impairment and recorded in accordance with accounting guidance. For each loan deemed impaired, management calculates a specific reserve for the amount in which the recorded investment in the loan exceeds the fair value. This estimate is based on a thorough analysis of the most probable source of repayment, which is typically liquidation of the collateral.

The third component is an analysis of changes in qualitative factors that may affect the portfolio, including but not limited to: relevant economic trends that could impact borrowers’ ability to repay, industry trends, changes in the volume and composition of the portfolio, credit concentrations, or lending policies and the experience and ability of the staff and Board of Directors. Management also reviews and incorporates certain ratios such as percentage of classified loans, average historical loan losses by loan category, delinquency percentages, and the assignment of percentage targets of reserves in each loan category when evaluating the allowance.

Once the analysis is completed, the three components are combined and compared to the allowance amount. Based on this, charges are made to the provision as needed.

The provision for loan losses was $2.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 compared to $1.6 million for the same quarter in the prior year.

Net charge offs increased to $1.0 million due to the sluggish economy and soft real estate market.

In addition, the Company re-evaluated its methodology for identifying impaired loans which resulted in stricter standards for selecting and identifying loans to be reviewed for impairment

Gain on sale of investments was $496,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 compared to $323,000 in the same period last year. The gain resulted from the sale of 22 investments during the period. Based on an analysis of the portfolio, the Company was able to maximize return by selling securities with short average lives as a result of call features or securities with adjustable rates scheduled to re-price down in the near future. The Company sold 19 securities during the same quarter of last year. Gain on sale of loans increased $415,000 to $577,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2010 when compared to the same period last year, as a result of a 53.8% increase in the volume of fixed rate residential mortgage loans originated and sold. The increase in volume is primarily attributable to an increase in refinancing activity as a result of the current low interest rate environment.

Loss on sale of real estate owned increased $101,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period last year.

General And Administrative Expenses – General and administrative expenses increased $384,000 or 7.1% to $5.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $5.4 million for the same period last year.  The following table provides a detailed analysis of the changes in the components of general and administrative expenses:

Interest Income - Total interest income decreased $1.5 million or 6.1% to $22.4 million during the six months ended September 30, 2010 from $23.8 million for the same period in 2009. This decrease is primarily the result of the decrease in interest earning assets. Total interest income on loans decreased $558,000 or 3.3% to $16.6 million during the six months ended September 30, 2010 as a result of the average loan portfolio balance decreasing $53.8 million, offset slightly by the yield in the loan portfolio increasing 34 basis points. Interest income from mortgage-backed securities decreased $985,000 or 18.3% to $4.4 million as a result of a $13.9 million decrease in the average balance of the portfolio combined with a 59 basis point decrease in yield. Interest income from investment securities increased $87,000 or 6.9% to $1.3 million.

Interest Expense - Total interest expense decreased $2.2 million or 19.8% to $8.7 million during the six months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $10.9 million for the same period last year.  The decrease in total interest expense is attributable to decreases in interest rates paid and a $31.2 million decrease in the average balances of interest-bearing liabilities.  Interest expense on deposits decreased $2.1 million or 28.4% during the period ended September 30, 2010. The decrease was attributable to a 77 basis point decrease in the cost of deposits offset by an increase in average interest-bearing deposits of $35.0 million when compared to the six month period ended September 30, 2009.  The decrease in the cost of deposits primarily resulted from maturing certificate accounts re-pricing at lower interest rates. Interest expense on advances and other borrowings decreased $40,000 or 1.1%. The average balance of other borrowings decreased $66.2 million or 27.5% to $174.9 million from the same period last year, directly reflecting the decrease in interest earning assets.

Gain on sale of investments was $695,000 during the six months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $374,000 in the same period last year. The gain resulted from the sale of 32 investments during the period. Based on an analysis of the portfolio, the Company was able to maximize return by selling securities with short average lives as a result of call features or securities with adjustable rates scheduled to re-price down in the near future

Gain on sale of loans increased $250,000 to $846,000 during the six months ended September 30, 2010 when compared to the same period last year. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in refinancing activity as a result of the current low interest rate environment.

Loss on sale of real estate owned increased $132,000 for the six month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period last year.

General And Administrative Expenses – General and administrative expenses increased $186,000 or 1.7% to $11.3 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010 from $11.1 million for the same period last year.  The following table provides a detailed analysis of the changes in the components of general and administrative expenses:

Salary and employee benefits increased $186,000 to $6.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010 from $5.8 million for the same period last year. This increase was primarily the result of standard annual cost of living increases. At September 30, 2010, the Company had 228 full time equivalent employees compared to 233 full time equivalents at September 30, 2009.

Occupancy increased $11,000 or 1.1% to $1.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010 from $993,000 for the same period one year ago.

Advertising expense decreased $15,000 or 6.75% to $201,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2010 from $216,000 for the same period one year ago.  The decrease in advertising can be attributed to the Company’s effort to reduce expenses during the period.

FDIC insurance premiums decreased $479,000 or 43.3% to $628,000 for the six month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to $1.1 for the same period a year ago. The Company recorded a one time $425,000 special assessment mandated by the FDIC to help replenish the government’s deposit insurance fund in 2009.

The Company recorded $85,000 in valuation expense related to the mandatorily redeemable financial instrument during the six month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to $44,000 in valuation income during the six month period ended September 30, 2009. The mandatorily redeemable financial instrument is reported at fair value on the balance sheet with any resulting valuation adjustments included in earnings.

Other expenses increased $399,000 to $2.4 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2010, an increase of 20.0% when compared to the same period in the prior year. Other expenses include legal fees, consultant fees, real estate owned expenses and expenses associated with loan collection and workout efforts.

Provision For Income Taxes – Provision for income taxes decreased $34,000 or 5.3% to $620,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2010 from $655,000 for the same period one year ago.  The Company’s combined federal and state effective income tax rate for the current period was 37.3% compared to 37.5% for the same period one year ago.

Liquidity Commitments, Capital Resources, and Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

Liquidity – The Company actively analyzes and manages the Bank’s liquidity with the objective of maintaining an adequate level of liquidity and to ensure the availability of sufficient cash flows to support loan growth, fund deposit withdrawals, fund operations, and satisfy other financial commitments.  See the “Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows” contained in Item 1 – Financial Statements, herein.

The primary sources of funds are customer deposits, loan repayments, loan sales, maturing investment securities, and advances from the FHLB.  The sources of funds, together with retained earnings and equity, are used to make loans, acquire investment securities and other assets, and fund continuing operations.  While maturities and the scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage repayments are greatly influenced by the level of interest rates, economic conditions, and competition.  Management believes that the Company’s current liquidity position and its forecasted operating results are sufficient to fund all of its existing commitments.

During the six months ended September 30, 2010 loan repayments exceeded loan disbursements resulting in a $31.2 million or 5.5% decrease in total net loans receivable.  During the six months ended September 30, 2010, deposits increased $3.5 million and FHLB advances decreased $21.1 million.  The Bank had $140.6 million in additional borrowing capacity at the FHLB at the end of the period.  At September 30, 2010, the Bank had $290.6 million of certificates of deposit maturing within one year.  Based on previous experience, the Bank anticipates a significant portion of these certificates will be renewed.

At September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Bank was categorized as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as “well capitalized” the Bank must maintain minimum total risk based, Tier 1 risk based and Tier 1 leverage ratios of 10%, 6% and 5%, respectively. There are no current conditions or events that management believes would change the Company’s or the Bank’s category.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments – The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These financial instruments generally include commitments to originate mortgage, commercial and consumer loans, and involve to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet.  The Company’s maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the borrower is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.  Since some commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.  Collateral is not required to support commitments.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:  An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a - 15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”)) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of the Company’s senior management as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.  The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that at September 30, 2010 the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to affect our internal controls over financial reporting

The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and or fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
 
 
Part II: Other Information
 
Item 1      Legal Proceedings
The Company is not engaged in any legal proceedings of a material nature at the present time.  From time to time, the Company is a party to legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business wherein it enforces its security interest in mortgage loans it has made.

Item 1A  Risk Factors
There have been no material changes in the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2010 except that the following risk factors are added to those previously contained in the Form 10-K:

Our provision for loan losses and net loan charge offs have increased significantly and we may be required to make further increases in our provisions for loan losses and to charge off additional loans in the future, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

For the six months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded a provision for loan losses of $4.1 million compared to $3.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2009.  We also recorded net loan charge-offs of $4.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $480,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2009.  We are experiencing elevated levels of loan delinquencies and credit losses.  Slower sales, excess inventory and declining prices have been the primary causes of the increase in delinquencies and foreclosures for A&D loans and commercial real estate loans.  At September 30, 2010, our total non-performing assets were $35.7 million compared to $39.6 million at September 30, 2009.  Further, our portfolio is concentrated in acquisition and development loans, commercial business and commercial real estate loans, all of which generally have a higher risk of loss than residential mortgage loans.  If current weak conditions in the housing and real estate markets continue, we expect that we will continue to experience higher than normal delinquencies and credit losses.  Moreover, if the recession is prolonged, we expect that it could severely impact economic conditions in our market areas and that we could experience significantly higher
 

 
Security Federal Corporation and Subsidiaries
 
delinquencies and credit losses.  As a result, we may be required to make further increases in our provision for loan losses and to charge off additional loans in the future, which could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Our allowance for loan losses may prove to be insufficient to absorb losses in our loan portfolio.

Lending money is a substantial part of our business and each loan carries a certain risk that it will not be repaid in accordance with its terms or that any underlying collateral will not be sufficient to assure repayment. This risk is affected by, among other things:

•    
cash flow of the borrower and/or the project being financed;

•    
the changes and uncertainties as to the future value of the collateral, in the case of a collateralized loan;

•    
the duration of the loan;

•    
the character and creditworthiness of a particular borrower; and

•    
changes in economic and industry conditions.

We maintain an allowance for loan losses, which is a reserve established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense, which we believe is appropriate to provide for probable losses in our loan portfolio. The amount of this allowance is determined by our management through periodic reviews and consideration of several factors, including, but not limited to:

•    
our general reserve, based on our historical default and loss experience and certain macroeconomic factors based on management’s expectations of future events; and

•    
our specific reserve, based on our evaluation of non-performing loans and their underlying collateral

       The determination of the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses inherently involves a high degree of subjectivity and requires us to make significant estimates of current credit risks and future trends, all of which may undergo material changes. Continuing deterioration in economic conditions affecting borrowers, new information regarding existing loans, identification of additional problem loans and other factors, both within and outside of our control, may require an increase in the allowance for loan losses.

       In addition, bank regulatory agencies periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require an increase in the provision for possible loan losses or the recognition of further loan charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of management. In addition, if charge-offs in future periods exceed the allowance for loan losses, we will need additional provisions to increase the allowance for loan losses. Any increases in the allowance for loan losses will result in a decrease in net income and, possibly, capital, and may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Financial reform legislation recently enacted by Congress will, among other things, eliminate the Office of Thrift Supervision, tighten capital standards, create a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and result in new laws and regulations that are expected to increase our costs of operations.
 
Congress recently enacted the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”). This new law will significantly change the current bank regulatory structure and affect the lending, deposit, investment, trading and operating activities of financial institutions and their holding companies. The Dodd-Frank Act requires various federal agencies to adopt a broad range of new implementing rules and regulations, and to prepare numerous studies and reports for Congress. The federal agencies are given significant discretion in drafting the implementing rules and regulations, and consequently, many of the details and much of the impact of the Dodd-Frank Act may not be known for many months or years.
 
Certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act are expected to have a near term impact on the Company. For example, the new law provides that the Office of Thrift Supervision, which currently the primary federal regulator for the Company and its subsidiary, Security Federal Bank, will cease to exist one year from the date of the new law’s enactment. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which is currently the primary federal regulator for national banks, will become the primary federal regulator for federal thrifts. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System will supervise and regulate all savings and loan holding companies that were formerly regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision, including the Company.

Part II: Other Information, Continued
 
 
Also effective one year after the date of enactment is a provision of the Dodd-Frank Act that eliminates the federal prohibitions on paying interest on demand deposits, thus allowing businesses to have interest bearing checking accounts. Depending on competitive responses, this significant change to existing law could have an adverse impact on the Company’s interest expense.
 
The Dodd-Frank Act also broadens the base for Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance assessments. Assessments will now be based on the average consolidated total assets less tangible equity capital of a financial institution. The Dodd-Frank Act also permanently increases the maximum amount of deposit insurance for banks, savings institutions and credit unions to $250,000 per depositor, retroactive to January 1, 2009, and non-interest bearing transaction accounts have unlimited deposit insurance through December 31, 2013.
 
The Dodd-Frank Act will require publicly traded companies to give stockholders a non-binding vote on executive compensation and so-called “golden parachute” payments, and by authorizing the Securities and Exchange Commission to promulgate rules that would allow stockholders to nominate their own candidates using a company’s proxy materials. The legislation also directs the Federal Reserve Board to promulgate rules prohibiting excessive compensation paid to bank holding company executives, regardless of whether the company is publicly traded or not.
 
The Dodd-Frank Act creates a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau with broad powers to supervise and enforce consumer protection laws. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has broad rule-making authority for a wide range of consumer protection laws that apply to all banks and savings institutions, including the authority to prohibit “unfair, deceptive or abusive” acts and practices. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has examination and enforcement authority over all banks and savings institutions with more than $10 billion in assets. Savings institutions such as Security Federal Bank with $10 billion or less in assets will continue to be examined for compliance with the consumer laws by their primary bank regulators. The Dodd-Frank Act also weakens the federal preemption rules that have been applicable for national banks and federal savings associations, and gives state attorneys general the ability to enforce federal consumer protection laws.
 
It is difficult to predict at this time what specific impact the Dodd-Frank Act and the yet to be written implementing rules and regulations will have on community banks. However, it is expected that at a minimum they will increase our operating and compliance costs and could increase our interest expense.
