SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations



General

The following discussion and analysis is presented to provide the reader with an understanding of the financial condition and the results of operations of Security Federal Corporation and its subsidiaries.  The investment and other activities of the parent company, Security Federal Corporation (the “Company”), have had no significant impact on the results of operations for the periods presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.  The information presented in the following discussion of financial results is indicative of the activities of Security Federal Bank (“Bank”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  The Bank was founded in 1922 as a mutual building and loan association. In 1987, the Bank converted to a federally chartered stock savings bank. On December 28, 2011, the Bank completed a charter conversion from a federally chartered stock savings bank to a South Carolina chartered commercial bank. In connection with this transaction, the Company reorganized from a savings and loan holding company into a bank holding company.

As a result of the Company's reorganization, in order to better align the financial reporting periods for the Company and the Bank with regulatory reporting periods, the Company elected to change its fiscal year end from March 31 to December 31. This change was effective for the reporting period ended December 31, 2012, and as a result, the Company filed a transition period annual report on Form 10-KT with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the nine month period ended December 31, 2012.

The Bank also has two wholly owned subsidiaries: Security Federal Insurance Inc. (“SFINS”) and Security Financial Services Corporation (“SFSC”).  SFINS was formed in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 and began operating during the December 2001 quarter.  SFINS is an insurance agency offering auto, business, health, and home insurance. SFINS has a wholly owned subsidiary, Collier Jennings Financial Corporation (“Collier Jennings”), which has three wholly owned subsidiaries: Security Federal Auto Insurance, The Auto Insurance Store Inc., and Security Federal Premium Pay Plans Inc.  Security Federal Premium Pay Plans Inc. has one wholly owned premium finance subsidiary and also has an ownership interest in four other premium finance subsidiaries. SFSC was formed in 1975 and is currently inactive.

In addition to the Bank, Security Federal Corporation has another wholly owned subsidiary, Security Federal Statutory Trust (the “Trust”), which issued and sold fixed and floating rate capital securities of the Trust. Under current accounting guidance, however, the Trust is not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements.  Unless the context indicates otherwise, references to the Company shall include the Bank and its subsidiaries.

The principal business of the Bank is accepting deposits from the general public and originating consumer and commercial business loans as well as mortgage loans that enable borrowers to purchase or refinance one-to-four family residential real estate.  The Bank also originates construction loans on single-family residences, multi-family dwellings and projects, and commercial real estate, as well as loans for the acquisition, development and construction of residential subdivisions, and commercial projects. The Bank also provides trust services and it offers property, casualty and life insurance products through its subsidiary, Security Federal Insurance.

The Bank's net income is dependent on its interest rate spread which is the difference between the average yield earned on its loan and investment portfolios and the average rate paid on its deposits and borrowings.  The Bank’s interest spread is influenced by interest rates, deposit flows, and loan demands.  Levels of non-interest income and operating expense are also significant factors in earnings.

increased competitive pressures among financial services companies;
changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;
the impact of new legislation, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the implementing regulations;
the availability of resources to address changes in laws, rules, or regulations or to respond to regulatory actions;

Some of these and other factors are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 under Item 1A, “Risk Factors.” Such developments could have an adverse impact on our financial position and our results of operations.

Any forward-looking statements are based upon management’s beliefs and assumptions at the time they are made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements included or incorporated by reference in this document or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those contained in such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking statements discussed in this document might not occur, and you should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.

 
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 the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  The significant accounting policies of the Company are described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.

Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by management, which have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities; management considers these accounting policies to be critical accounting policies.  The judgments and assumptions used by management are based on historical experience and other factors, which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions made by management, actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates, which could have a material impact on the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the results of operations of the Company.

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.

11




SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


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 bank regulatory agencies that may require adjustments to the allowance based upon the information that is available at the time of their examination. For a further discussion of the Company’s estimation process and methodology related to the allowance for loan losses, see the discussion under the section entitled “Financial Condition” and “Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2014 and 2013-Provision for Loan Losses” included herein.

The Company values an impaired loan 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 the Company 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.
 
Asset and Liability Management

The Bank’s program of asset and liability management seeks to limit the Bank’s vulnerability to material and prolonged increases or decreases in interest rates, or "interest rate risk."  The principal determinant of the exposure of the Bank's earnings to interest rate risk is the timing difference (“gap”) between the repricing or maturity of the Bank's interest-earning assets and the repricing or maturity of its interest-bearing liabilities.  If the maturities of the Bank's assets and liabilities were perfectly matched and the interest rates borne by its assets and liabilities were equally flexible and moved concurrently (neither of which is the case), the impact on net interest income of any material and prolonged changes in interest rates would be minimal.

A positive gap position generally has an adverse effect on net interest income during periods of falling interest rates.  A positive one-year gap position occurs when the dollar amount of rate sensitive assets maturing or repricing within one year exceeds the dollar amount of rate sensitive liabilities maturing or repricing during that same one-year period.  As a result, in a period of falling interest rates, the interest received on interest-earning assets will decrease faster than the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, causing a decrease in net interest income.  During periods of rising interest rates, the interest received on interest-earning assets will increase faster than interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, thus increasing net interest income.

A negative gap position generally has an adverse effect on net interest income during periods of rising interest rates.  A negative one-year gap position occurs when the dollar amount of rate sensitive liabilities maturing or repricing within one year exceeds the dollar amount of rate sensitive assets maturing or repricing during that same period.  As a result, during periods of rising interest rates, the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities will increase faster than interest received from interest-earning assets, thus reducing net interest income.  The reverse is true in periods of declining interest rates, as discussed above, which generally results in an increase in net interest income.

At December 31, 2014, the Bank's one-year gap position was a positive mismatch. Assets repricing exceeded liabilities repricing within one year by $46.5 million or 5.9% of total interest earning assets compared to a negative mismatch, or liabilities repricing exceeding assets repricing within one year by $17.1 million or 2.0% at December 31, 2013.  For more information on the Bank’s repricing position at December 31, 2014, see the tables on pages 14 and 15.

SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


During the year ended December 31, 2014, Bank originated, for investment purposes, $11.8 million in adjustable rate residential real estate loans (“ARM’s”). The Bank’s loan portfolio included $129.0 million of adjustable rate consumer loans, commercial loans, and mortgage loans or 36.9% of total loans at December 31, 2014.  During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Bank originated $126.8 million in new and renewed consumer and commercial loans, which are usually short term in nature.  The Bank's portfolio of consumer and commercial loans was $270.5 million at December 31, 2014, $288.4 million at December 31, 2013, and $315.6 million at December 31, 2012.  Consumer and commercial loans combined were 77.4% of total loans at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and 76.8% of total loans at December 31, 2012.

At December 31, 2014, the Bank held approximately $10.2 million in longer term fixed rate residential mortgage loans. Typically, long term, newly originated fixed rate mortgage loans are not retained in the portfolio but are sold immediately. ARMs are typically retained in the portfolio.

Fixed rate residential loans sold to institutional investors, on a service-released basis totaled $23.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2014, $33.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2013, and $22.5 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2012.  The Bank sells all its fixed rate mortgage loans on a service-released basis.

Certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more, referred to as “Jumbo Certificates,” are normally considered to be interest rate sensitive because of their relatively short maturities.  At December 31, 2014, the Bank had $140.0 million outstanding in Jumbo Certificates compared to $129.9 million at December 31, 2013.  Brokered deposits totaled $38.8 million at December 31, 2014 compared to $25.6 million at December 31, 2013. The majority of the Bank’s deposits are originated within the Bank’s immediate market area.

The following table sets forth the maturity schedule of certificates of deposit with balances of $100,000 or greater at December 31, 2014:

The following table sets forth the Bank’s interest-bearing liabilities and interest-earning assets repricing or maturing within one year.  The table on the following page presents the Bank's entire interest-bearing liabilities and interest-earning assets into repricing or maturity time periods.  Both tables present adjustable rate loans in the periods they are scheduled to reprice and fixed rate loans are shown in the time frame of corresponding principal amortization schedules.  Adjustable and fixed rate loans are also adjusted for the Company’s estimates of pre-payments.  Mortgage-backed securities are shown at repricing dates, but also include prepayment estimates.  Both tables also assume investments reprice at the earlier of maturity; the likely call date, if any, based on current interest rates; or the next scheduled interest rate change, if any.  NOW accounts are assumed to have a decay rate of 20% the first year, money market accounts to have a decay rate of 65% the first year, and statement savings accounts to have a decay rate of 20% the first year.  The balance, for all three products, is deemed to reprice in the one to three year category.  Callable fixed rate Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances are included in borrowings, and are deemed to mature at the expected call date or maturity, based on the stated interest rate of the advance and current market rates.  Junior subordinated debentures are shown at their repricing date or call date.

CALLABLE SECURITIES AND FHLB ADVANCES ARE SHOWN AT THEIR LIKELY CALL DATES BASED ON MANAGEMENT’S ESTIMATES AT DECEMBER 31, 2014. 

In evaluating the Bank's exposure to interest rate risk, certain shortcomings inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing tables must be considered.  For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods of repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates.  Additionally, the interest rates of certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates.  Loan repayment rates and withdrawals of deposits will likely differ substantially from the assumed rates previously set forth in the event of significant changes in interest rates due to the option of borrowers to prepay their loans and the ability of depositors to withdraw funds prior to maturity.  Further, certain assets, such as ARMs, have features that restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis as well as over the life of the asset.

Financial Condition

Total assets at December 31, 2014 were $825.4 million, a decrease of $23.9 million or 2.8% from $849.2 million at December 31, 2013 This decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in net loans receivable.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $2.6 million or 33.6% to $10.2 million at December 31, 2014 compared to $7.6 million at December 31, 2013.   Total investments and mortgage-backed securities decreased $1.3 million or 0.3% to $429.7 million at December 31, 2014 from $431.0 million at December 31, 2013.  All of these securities were classified as available for sale at December 31, 2014. Investment and mortgage-backed securities with an amortized cost of $72.0 million were transferred from held to maturity to available for sale during 2013.   

Total net loans receivable were $339.9 million at December 31, 2014, a decrease of $19.0 million or 5.3% from $358.9 million at December 31, 2013.  This decrease was the result of increased loan paydowns combined with lower loan demand from creditworthy borrowers. Residential real estate loans held for investment decreased $5.7 million or 6.9% from $83.0 million at December 31, 2013 to $77.3 million at December 31, 2014.   Typically, long term, newly originated fixed rate mortgage loans are not retained in the portfolio but are sold immediately.  ARMs are typically retained in the portfolio.  At December 31, 2014, the Bank held 83.8% of its residential mortgage loans in ARMs, while it had 16.2% in fixed rate mortgages.  Consumer loans decreased $1.8 million or 3.5% to $50.4 million at December 31, 2014 from $52.2 million at December 31, 2013. Commercial business loans increased $2.8 million or 35.9% to $10.6 million at December 31, 2014 from $7.8 million at December 31, 2013 while commercial real estate loans decreased $18.9 million or 8.3% to $209.5 million at December 31, 2014 from $228.4 million at December 31, 2013.  Loans held for sale, which were $1.9 million at December 31, 2014, increased $631,000 or 51.1% from $1.2 million at December 31, 2013.

Premises and equipment increased $990,000 or 5.7% to $18.2 million at December 31, 2014 compared to $17.2 million at December 31, 2013 as a result of land purchased for $1.3 million for a prospective future branch site in Columbia County, Georgia. The Bank held a groundbreaking ceremony on January 15, 2015 for its newest branch located in Irmo, South Carolina. The new location, scheduled for opening in mid-2015, will be a full-service branch offering depository banking as well as commercial, personal and mortgage lending.

The cash value of Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”) was $11.2 million at December 31, 2014 compared to $11.5 million at December 31, 2013 reflecting a $324,000 or 2.8% decrease. The decrease reflects the redemption of $624,000 in BOLI during the year ended December 31, 2014, which was partially offset by $300,000 in BOLI income. There were no additional BOLI purchases during the year ended December 31, 2014.  BOLI, which earns tax-free yields, is utilized to partially offset the cost of the Company’s employee benefits programs and to provide key person insurance on certain executive officers of the Company.

(1) PERCENT OF GROSS LOANS RECEIVABLE HELD FOR INVESTMENT, NET OF DEFERRED FEES AND LOANS IN PROCESS  
The increase in non-performing assets was primarily concentrated in non-performing commercial real estate loans, which increased $4.9 million to $9.9 million at December 31, 2014 from $5.0 million at December 31, 2013. The balance in non-performing commercial real estate loans at December 31, 2014 consisted of 46 loans to 28 borrowers with an average loan balance of $214,000. At December 31, 2013, the balance in non-performing commercial real estate loans consisted of 37 loans to 19 borrowers with an average loan balance of $134,000.

Of the non-performing commercial real estate loans, $4.0 million consisted of 15 loans secured by commercial buildings to 14 different borrowers; $1.9 million consisted of two loans to two separate borrowers related to the acquisition and development of two subdivisions; $1.3 million consisted of 10 loans secured by builder lots or speculative houses in varying degrees of completion throughout South Carolina and Georgia to four separate borrowers; $786,000 consisted of eight loans secured by raw land to six separate borrowers; and $702,000 consisted of two loans secured by a church building to one borrower. At December 31, 2014, our largest non-performing commercial real estate loan was $1.3 million and was secured by a commercial building. The majority of the remaining non-performing loans in the commercial real estate category were secured by first mortgages on principal residences throughout the Bank's market area. These loans, even though secured by principal residences, considered commercial real estate because they were business purpose loans.

Non-performing residential real estate loans decreased $1.5 million to $3.1 million at December 31, 2014 from $4.6 million at December 31, 2013. The balance in non-performing residential real estate loans at December 31, 2014 consisted of 27 loans to 27 borrowers with an average loan balance of $113,000, the largest of which was $415,000. The balance in non-performing residential real estate loans at December 31, 2013 consisted of 29 loans to 29 borrowers with an average loan balance of $159,000.

Other real estate owned decreased $718,000 or 18.2% to $3.2 million at December 31, 2014 compared to $3.9 million at December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2014, the balance of other real estate owned consisted of the following real estate properties: nine single-family residences and 24 lots within residential subdivisions located throughout our market area in South Carolina and Georgia; eight lots within a subdivision and adjacent 22.96 acres of land in Aiken, South Carolina; two parcels of land, one commercial lot, and one commercial building in South Carolina; one commercial building in Augusta, Georgia; and 34.8 acres of land in Bluffton, South Carolina.

FHLB stock decreased $1.9 million or 37.3% to $3.1 million at December 31, 2014 compared to $5.0 million at December 31, 2013 as a result of stock redemptions by the FHLB of Atlanta. The Bank, as a member of the FHLB of Atlanta, is required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in the FHLB of Atlanta in an amount equal to a membership component, which is 0.15% of total assets plus a transaction component which equals 4.5% of outstanding advances (borrowings) from the FHLB of Atlanta. As total assets and total advances have decreased, so has the Bank’s required investment in FHLB stock.

Other assets decreased $4.1 million or 53.9% to $3.5 million at December 31, 2014 compared to $7.5 million at December 31, 2013 primarily due to a decrease in net tax deferred assets of $3.9 million. The unrealized gain on investment securities available for sale increased $8.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2014 as a result of a decrease in market rates. The decrease in the deferred tax asset represents the tax impact of this change.
 
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 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 2.41% and 2.78% at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Bank closely monitors its past due loans.

The cumulative interest not accrued during the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 relating to all non-performing loans totaled $920,000 and $480,000, respectively. Our strategy is to work with our borrowers to reach acceptable payment plans while protecting our interests in the underlying 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 (“TDRs”) decreased $2.8 million or 22.3% during the year ended December 31, 2014. The Bank had 18 loans that were TDRs totaling $9.6 million at December 31, 2014 compared to 22 loans totaling $12.4 million at December 31, 2013. The 18 TDRs consisted of one consumer loan secured by a first mortgage on a residential dwelling and two automobiles totaling $66,000, and one consumer auto loan totaling $4,000. All of the remaining 16 restructurings consisted of commercial real estate loans to 11 separate borrowers, the largest of which had a balance of $2.4 million at December 31, 2014. The commercial real estate loans were secured primarily by first mortgages on three single family residences, four commercial buildings, three hotels, one church and five parcels of land.  At December 31, 2014, seven of the TDRs to four borrowers totaling $2.4 million were non-accruing. All of the remaining TDRs were current at December 31, 2014.

All TDRs are reviewed for impairment loss.  At December 31, 2014, the Bank held $20.2 million in impaired loans, including $9.6 million in TDRs, compared to $31.4 million of impaired loans, including $12.4 million of TDRs, at December 31, 2013.

In July 2006, the Company acquired Collier Jennings Financial Corporation, an insurance agency specializing in consumer automobile insurance and premium financing. The resulting goodwill was $1.2 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013. There were no other intangibles recorded at December 31, 2014 and $12,000 at December 31, 2013.  Collier Jennings is now a subsidiary of Security Federal Insurance Inc.

Deposits at the Bank decreased $1.4 million or 0.2% to $660.1 million at December 31, 2014 from $658.7 million at December 31, 2013. The Bank had brokered time deposits of $38.8 million at December 31, 2014 compared to $25.6 million at December 31, 2013. Brokered time deposits are appealing because rates paid on these deposits are typically lower than rates paid on time deposits obtained in the Bank’s primary market areas. In addition, a portion of these brokered time deposits give the Bank a call option that allows the Bank the choice to redeem them early should rates change. Total deposits at December 31, 2014, excluding brokered time deposits, decreased $11.9 million or 1.9% to $621.3 million from $633.1 million at December 31, 2013. Brokered time deposits were 5.9% of total deposits at December 31, 2014 and 3.9% of total deposits at December 31, 2013.

Advances from the FHLB decreased $34.8 million or 39.7% to $52.9 million at December 31, 2014 from $87.7 million at December 31, 2013 due to prepayments and maturities. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, as part of the Company's strategy to lower its cost of funds, management elected to prepay $5.0 million and $30.0 million, respectively, in higher rate advances. Other borrowed money, which consists of retail repurchase agreements, increased $521,000 or 6.5% to $8.5 million at December 31, 2014 from $8.0 million at December 31, 2013.  

In September 2006, Security Federal Statutory Trust issued and sold capital securities of the Trust (the “Capital Securities”). The Trust used the net proceeds from the sale of the Capital Securities to purchase a like amount of junior subordinated debentures (the “Debentures”) of the Company which are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as junior subordinated debentures. The Capital Securities accrue and pay distributions at a floating rate of three month LIBOR plus 170 basis points annually which was equal to 1.93% at December 31, 2014. The distribution rate payable on the Capital Securities is cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears. The Capital Securities mature or are mandatorily redeemable upon maturity on December 15, 2036, 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.

In December 2009, the Company issued $6.1 million in convertible senior debentures. The debentures mature on December 1, 2029 and accrue interest at the rate of 8.0% per annum until maturity or earlier redemption or repayment. 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.

Total shareholders' equity was $87.4 million at December 31, 2014, an increase of $9.4 million or 12.1% from $78.0 million at December 31, 2013. The Company’s net income for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $5.8 million. Preferred stock dividends were $440,000 resulting in net income available to common shareholders of $5.4 million. Other changes in shareholders’ equity during the period were: a net increase in other comprehensive income of $5.0 million, representing the unrecognized gain in value of investment and mortgage-backed securities, and $942,000 in dividends paid to common shareholders.

Results of Operations

The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  The table also distinguishes between the changes related to higher or lower outstanding balances and the changes related to the volatility of interest rates.  For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to: (1) changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior year volume); (2) changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior year rate); and (3) net change (the sum of the prior columns).  For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately to the change attributable to volume and the change attributable to rate. Changes in income are calculated on a tax equivalent basis using a 34% federal income tax rate.

SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2014 and 2013

General

The Company’s earnings available to common shareholders were $5.4 million or $1.75 per diluted common share for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $3.4 million or $1.12 per diluted common share for the year ended December 31, 2013.  The $2.0 million or 60.3% increase in earnings was attributable primarily to an increase in net interest income combined with a decrease in the provision for loan losses.

Net Interest Income

Net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis increased 17 basis points to 3.08% for the year ended December 31, 2014 from 2.91% for the year ended December 31, 2013.  The improvement in net interest spread was achieved through lower cost of funds as total interest expense decreased 22.8% for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease in interest expense was partially offset by slightly lower interest income. Consistent with the increase in interest spread, net interest income increased $755,000 or 3.3% to $23.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $22.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. Average interest-earning assets decreased $24.5 million or 3.0% to $785.0 million million while average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $36.6 million or 5.0% to $694.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The interest rate spread was 2.98% for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to 2.81% for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Interest income on loans decreased $2.2 million to $19.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2014 from $21.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2013.  The 10.0% decrease was attributable to a decrease in average total loans outstanding of $25.6 million combined with a 19 basis point decrease in the average yield earned on the Bank’s loans during the year ended December 31, 2014.  Tax equivalent interest income on investment securities, mortgage-backed securities, and other investments increased $1.1 million as a result of an increase in the yield earned combined with a $1.1 million increase in the aggregate average balance in these interest-earning assets.

Interest expense on deposits decreased $828,000 or 24.3% to $2.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2014.  Average interest bearing deposits decreased $14.9 million while the average cost of those deposits decreased 12 basis points during the year ended December 31, 2014 Interest expense on FHLB advances and other borrowings decreased $889,000 or 25.2% to $2.6 million during 2014. The decrease was a result of a $21.7 million decrease in average FHLB advances and other borrowings outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2014 and a decrease in the average costs of those borrowings of 17 basis points to 3.29% compared to 3.46% during the year ended December 31, 2013.

Interest expense on junior subordinated debentures was $101,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $103,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The average outstanding balance on these debentures remained constant at $5.2 million during both periods while the average cost decreased four basis points to 1.96% during the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to 2.00% for the year ended December 31, 2013. Interest expense on senior convertible debentures was $487,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. The senior convertible debentures were issued during December 2009 and have a fixed rate of 8%.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses was $450,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014, a $2.2 million or 83.0% decrease from $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease in the provision is attributable to the decrease in net charge offs. Net charge offs were $2.3 million or 0.7% of gross loans during the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to$3.7 million or 1.0% of gross loans for the year ended December 31, 2013. The allowance for loan losses represented 358.0% of net charge offs during the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to 275.2% during the year ended December 31, 2013. Non-performing assets, which consist of non-accrual loans and repossessed assets, increased $3.0 million or 21.6% to $17.0 million at December 31, 2014 from $14.0 million at December 31, 2013. Despite the increase in non- performing assets, the additional provision required to cover these loans has declined. Substantially all of these loans are secured by real estate, and have been measured for impairment under the fair value of collateral method. As real estate values have begun to stabilize, the need to reserve for these assets has declined.

SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

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 established policies and procedures for evaluating and monitoring the overall credit quality of the loan portfolio and for the 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 homogeneous segments of the portfolio based on historical trends and the risk inherent in each category. The historical loss periods used to calculate these ratios can range from 12 months to five years depending on which period is deemed a more relevant indicator of future losses.

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, including but not limited to classified loans, non-accrual loans and TDRs. These loans are evaluated for impairment and recorded in accordance with accounting guidance. All TDRs and substantially all non-accrual loans are individually for impairment. In accordance with our policy, non-accrual commercial loans with a balance less than $200,000 and non-accrual consumer loans with a balance less than $100,000 are deemed immaterial and therefore excluded from the individual impairment review. 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.

Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate based on its best estimates of the losses inherent in the loan portfolio, although there can be no guarantee as to these estimates.  In addition, bank regulatory agencies may require additional provisions to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments and estimates as part of their examination process.  Because the allowance for loan losses is an estimate, there can be no guarantee that actual loan losses will not exceed the allowance for loan losses, or that additional increases in the allowance for loan losses will not be required in the future.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income decreased $733,000 or 10.6% to $6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 from $6.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease is primarily the result of a decrease in the gain on sale of investments and loans partially offset by an increase in Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) income.

Gain on sale of investments decreased $889,000 or 67.0% to $437,000 during the year ended December 31, 2014 from $1.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2013.  Gain on sale of loans decreased $159,000 or 20.3% to $621,000 during the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $780,000 during the year ended December 31, 2013. Service fees on deposit accounts remained relatively unchanged at $1.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Income from insurance agency commissions was $425,000 during the year ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of $28,000 or 6.3% compared to $453,000 during the year ended December 31, 2013. Trust income increased $22,000 or 4.2% to $542,000 during the year ended December 31, 2014 from $520,000 during the year ended December 31, 2013. Income from BOLI increased $215,000 or 63.5% to $554,000 during the year ended December 31, 2014 from $339,000 during the year ended December 31, 2013, reflecting improvement in the value of the securities underlying the BOLI policies. The Bank recognized $254,000 in death benefits in 2014 in addition to $300,000 in income related to an increase in the cash surrender value of the BOLI policies.

Check card fee income increased $49,000 or 5.7% to $902,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $853,000 for the same period in the prior year. Other non-interest income including annuity and investment brokerage commissions, bank credit life insurance on loans, and other miscellaneous income increased $110,000 or 20.3% to $653,000 during the year ended December 31, 2014 from $543,000 during the same period in 2013.

SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

In 2012, the U.S. Treasury's Community Development Financial Institutions Fund ("CDFI Fund") awarded the Bank a grant totaling $1.5 million in recognition of its commitment to community development. The award is part of a CDFI program that recognizes organizations who serve low income and distressed communities. As part of the award, the Bank committed to establish a small business micro lending program that lends specifically in low to moderate income areas. The Bank was required to lend $1.2 million over a five year period to qualifying customers. The Bank recognized $295,000 in grant income related to this award during the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $929,000 during the year ended December 31, 2013. The grant income is recognized during the period in which the loans are funded. At December 31, 2014, $230,000 in income remains to be recognized related to unfunded microloans. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Bank also recognized $557,000 in grant income, which was awarded by the Bank Enterprise Award (BEA) Program in recognition of the Bank’s investments in distressed communities and its continued commitment to community development. The amount of the award increases as the Bank’s investment in these areas increases. There was no BEA grant income recognized during the year ended December 31, 2013.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased $765,000 or 3.5% to $21.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $22.0 million during the same period one year earlier.  The decrease in non-interest expense was primarily a result of a decrease in the net costs associated with the operation of other real estate owned, including write downs on these properties, combined with a decrease in prepayment penalties on FHLB advances partially offset by increases in compensation and other expenses.

Compensation and employee benefits increased $344,000 or 3.1% to $11.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2014 from $11.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company recognized $335,000 in accrued bonuses related to a new incentive compensation plan offered to employees during the year ended December 31, 2014. The incentive compensation plan was designed to maximize achievement of the Bank’s overall goals by setting performance objectives for employees that are directly linked to the financial and strategic performance of the Bank. This encourages employees to focus on the success and profitability of the Bank as a whole and provides a means for the Bank to offer competitive pay to attract and retain the highest quality and highest performing employees.

Occupancy expense remained relatively unchanged at $2.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, while depreciation and maintenance of equipment expense increased $67,000 or 4.2% to $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. Advertising expense increased $128,000 or 36.1% to $484,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014 from $356,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Net cost of operation of other real estate owned decreased $1.0 million or 65.8% to $542,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014 from $1.6 million for the same period in 2013. Other real estate owned was $3.2 million at December 31, 2014 compared to $3.9 million at December 31, 2013. This decrease was the result of a decrease in the balance of other real estate owned and a decrease in write downs on other real estate owned during the year. Real estate owned is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less costs to sell. As local real estate values declined significantly in the prior years, the Bank was required to write down these properties to their fair values. Write downs on other real estate owned decreased to $505,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 as a result of the improvement of in real estate values in our market areas.

The Company incurred prepayment penalties of $178,000 and $589,000 for paying down FHLB advances during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As part of the Company's strategy to lower cost of funds, management elected to prepay some higher rate advances during 2014 and 2013.

Other expenses increased $214,000 or 5.1% to $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. Other expenses include legal, professional, and consulting expenses, stationary and office supplies and other miscellaneous expenses.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes increased $963,000 or 71.8% to $2.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.  The effective tax rate was 28.3% for 2014 and 26.1% for 2013.

Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2013 and Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2012
General

As previously announced, our Board of Directors approved a change in fiscal year end from March 31 to December 31, effective for the reporting period ended December 31, 2012. As a result of this change, the Company's prior year Annual Report on Form 10-KT was a transition report and included financial information for the nine-month transition period from April 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012 (the “Transition Period”). The comparative financial information provided for the year ended December 31, 2012 is unaudited and includes all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for that period.

The Company’s earnings available to common shareholders were $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $1.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012.  The $1.5 million or 72.3% increase in earnings was attributable primarily to the decrease in the provision for loan losses combined with an increase in non-interest income. These factors were offset slightly by a decrease in net interest income.

Net Interest Income

Net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis for the year ended December 31, 2013 increased eight basis points to 2.91% from 2.83% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012.  Despite the increase in margin, the significant decrease in the volume of interest earning assets, particularly loans, resulted in a decrease in net interest income. Net interest income decreased $555,000 or 2.4% to $22.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $23.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012. The decrease was attributable to a decrease in interest income offset by a decrease in interest expense. Average interest-earning assets decreased $29.5 million or 3.5% to $809.5 million while average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $47.0 million or 6.0% to $731.2 million. The interest rate spread was 2.81% for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to 2.74% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012.

Interest income on loans decreased $4.8 million to $21.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2013 from $24.5 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2012.  The 11.9% decrease was attributable to a decrease in average total loans outstanding of $41.2 million combined with a 14 basis point decrease in the average yield earned on the Bank’s loans during the year ended December 31, 2013.  Tax equivalent interest income on investment securities, mortgage-backed securities, and other investments decreased $91,000 as a result of a decrease in the yield earned offset in part by a $37.0 million increase in the aggregate average balance in these interest-earning assets.

Interest expense on deposits decreased $1.8 million or 34.3% to $3.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2013.  Average interest bearing deposits decreased $26.7 million while the average cost of those deposits decreased 26 basis points during the year ended December 31, 2013.  Interest expense on FHLB advances and other borrowings decreased $958,000 or 21.2% to $3.5 million during 2013.  The decrease was a result of a decrease in average FHLB advances and other borrowings outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2013 of $20.3 million and a decrease in the average costs of those borrowings of 21 basis points to 3.46% compared to 3.67% during the twelve months ended December 31, 2012. During the year ended December 31, 2013, as part of the Company's strategy to lower cost of funds, management elected to prepay $30.0 million in higher rate advances.

Interest expense on junior subordinated debentures was $103,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $113,000 during the year ended December 31, 2012. The average outstanding balance on these debentures remained constant at $5.2 million during both periods while the average cost decreased 19 basis points to 2.00% during the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to 2.19% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012. Interest expense on senior convertible debentures was $487,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2012. The senior convertible debentures were issued during December 2009 and have a fixed rate of 8%.

Provision for Loan Losses

Non-performing assets, which consist of non-accrual loans and repossessed assets, decreased $11.2 million or 44.5% to $14.0 million at December 31, 2013 from $25.2 million at December 31, 2012. Consistent with the decrease in non-performing assets, the provision for loan losses was $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, a $1.3 million or 32.6% decrease from $3.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012. Net charge offs were $3.7 million or 1.01% of gross loans during the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to 1.69% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012. The allowance for loan losses represented 275.2% of net charge offs during the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to 166.0% of net charge offs during the twelve months ended December 31, 2012.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income increased $917,000 or 15.3% to $6.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $6.0 million for the comparable twelve month period in 2012. The increase was primarily a result of $929,000 in grant income received during the year ended December 31, 2013 in connection with the CDFI Fund compared to no grant income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012.

Gain on sale of investments decreased $155,000 or 10.4% to $1.3 million during fiscal 2013 from $1.5 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2012.  Gain on sale of loans increased $138,000 or 21.4% to $780,000 during the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $642,000 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2012. Management was able to maximize gain on sale of loans by raising the rates slightly on these loans and therefore increasing the sales price. Service fees on deposit accounts remained relatively unchanged at $1.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2013 and the same period in 2012.

Income from insurance agency commissions was $453,000 during fiscal 2013, a decrease of $11,000 or 2.3% compared to $464,000 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2012. Trust income increased $14,000 or 2.8% to $520,000 during the year ended December 31, 2013 from $506,000 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2012. Income from BOLI decreased $81,000 or 19.3% to $339,000 during fiscal year 2013 from $420,000 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 as a result of a decrease in the portfolio yield of the underlying assets.

Check card fee income increased $39,000 or 4.8% to $853,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $814,000 for the same period in 2012. Other miscellaneous income including annuity and investment brokerage commissions, bank credit life insurance on loans, and other miscellaneous income increased $48,000 or 9.6% to $543,000 during the year ended December 31, 2013 from $495,000 during the same period in 2012. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recognized $929,000 in grant income in connection with the CDFI Fund compared to no grant income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased $154,000 or 0.7% to $22.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $22.2 million during the same period one year earlier.  The decrease in non-interest expense was primarily a result of a decrease in the net costs associated with the operation of other real estate owned including write downs on these properties offset by increases in prepayment penalties on FHLB advances and other expenses.

Compensation and employee benefits increased $246,000 or 2.3% to $11.0 million from $10.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 as a result of normal cost of living increases combined with an increase in the number of full-time equivalent employees, from 196 at December 31, 2012 to 197 at December 31, 2013. Occupancy expense increased $28,000 or 1.4% to $2.0 million from $1.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, while depreciation and maintenance of equipment expense decreased $102,000 or 6.0% to $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $1.7 million for the same period in 2012. Advertising expense decreased $25,000 or 6.7% to $356,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $381,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012.

Net cost of operation of other real estate owned decreased $1.6 million or 50.0% to $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $3.2 million for the same period in 2012. Other real estate owned was $3.9 million at December 31, 2013 compared to $6.8 million at December 31, 2012. This decrease was the result of a decrease in foreclosures and a significant decrease in write downs on other real estate owned during the year. Other real estate owned is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less costs to sell. As local real estate values declined significantly in the prior years, the Bank was required to write down these

27



properties to their fair values. Write downs on real estate owned totaled $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $3.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012.

The Company incurred prepayment penalties of $589,000 for paying down FHLB advances during the year ended December 31, 2013. As part of the Company's strategy to lower cost of funds, management elected to prepay some higher rate advances.

Other expenses increased $592,000, or 16.5% to $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $3.6 million for the same period in the prior year. Other expenses include legal, professional, and consulting expenses, stationary and office supplies and other miscellaneous expenses. During fiscal 2013, the Bank hired a consultant that specializes in reducing operating expense and increasing fee income. Although this resulted in increased consulting fees during the year, management believes this expense will be offset by the benefits realized in future periods.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes increased $389,000 or 40.9% to $1.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $951,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012.  The effective tax rate was 26.1% for 2013 and 28.5% for 2012.

THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013 EXCLUDE UNREALIZED GAINS OF $5.4 MILLION and $474,000, RESPECTIVELY, ON AVAILABLE FOR SALE SECURITIES. 

Security Federal Corporation is a bank holding company registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve").  Bank holding companies are subject to capital adequacy requirements of the Federal Reserve under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and the regulations of the Federal Reserve.  Security Federal Bank, as a state-chartered, federally insured commercial bank, is subject to the capital requirements established by the FDIC.

The capital adequacy requirements are quantitative measures established by regulation that require Security Federal Corporation and Security Federal Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of capital.  Federally-insured state-chartered banks are required to maintain minimum levels of regulatory capital.  Through December 31 2014, FDIC regulations required Security Federal Bank to maintain (i) a ratio of Tier 1 leverage capital to total assets of at least 4.0%, (ii) a ratio of Tier 1 risk-based capital to risk weighted assets of at least 4.0% and (iii) a ratio of total risk-based capital to risk weighted assets of at least 8.0%.  Effective January 1, 2015, FDIC regulations will require insured state-chartered banks to maintain (i) a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets of 4.00%, (ii) a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 6.00%, (iii) a minimum ratio of total-capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.00% and (iv) a minimum ratio of “Common Equity Tier 1 Capital” to risk-weighted assets of 4.50%. The Federal Reserve requires Security Federal Corporation to maintain capital adequacy that generally parallels the FDIC requirements.  At December 31, 2014, Security Federal Corporation and Security Federal Bank each exceeded all applicable capital requirements and the Company believes each will meet the new minimum capital requirements.

Through December 31, 2014, a well-capitalized institution had to maintain a minimum ratio of total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 10.00%, a minimum ratio of Tier 1 risk-based capital to risk weighted assets of at least 6.00%, a minimum ratio of Tier 1 leverage capital to total assets of at least 5.00% and must not be subject to any written order, agreement or directive requiring it to meet or maintain a specific capital level. As of December 31, 2014, Security Federal Bank was “well capitalized” under the capital adequacy requirements then in effect. A bank holding company such as Security Federal Corporation does not have a “well-capitalized” measurement because “well-capitalized” only applies to banks. The following table compares Security Federal Corporation’s and Security Federal Bank’s actual capital amounts at the dates indicated December 31, 2014 to its minimum regulatory capital requirements at that date (dollars in thousands):

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity refers to the ability to generate sufficient cash flows to fund current loan demand, repay maturing borrowings, fund maturing deposit withdrawals, and meet operating expenses.  The Bank's primary sources of funds include loan repayments, loan sales, increased deposits, advances from the FHLB, and cash flow generated from operations.  The need for funds varies among periods depending on funding needs as well as the rate of amortization and prepayment on loans.  The use of FHLB and other advances and borrowings varies depending on loan demand, deposit inflows, and the use of investment leverage strategies to increase net interest income.

The principal use of the Bank's funds is the origination of mortgages and other loans and the purchase of investments and mortgage-backed securities.  Originations of new loans and renewals of previously funded loans on loans held for investment were $139.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $193.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2013 and $130.0 million during the nine months ended December 31 2012.  The decrease in originations and renewals during the year ended December 31, 2014 was primarily the result of a decrease in commercial loan originations, which decreased $56.5 million. Purchases of investments and mortgage-backed securities were $119.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $162.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2013, and $189.8 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2012.  Other uses of the Bank's funds during the year ended December 31, 2014 included paying down FHLB advances and dividend payments to shareholders.

Unused lines of credit on home equity loans, credit cards, and commercial loans amounted to $44.5 million at December 31, 2014.  Home equity loans are made on a floating rate basis with final maturities of 10 to 15 years.  Credit cards are made on a fixed rate basis, currently at 9.99% and are renewed annually or every other year.  In addition to the above commitments, the Bank has undisbursed loans-in-process of $1.4 million at December 31, 2014, which will be disbursed over an average of 90 days.  These commitments to originate loans and future advances of lines of credit are expected to be funded from loan amortizations and prepayments, deposit inflows, maturing investments, and short-term borrowing capacity.

The following table sets forth the length of time until maturity for unused commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit at December 31, 2014:

Management believes that future liquidity can be met through the Bank's deposit base, which increased $1.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2014, and from maturing investments.  In addition, at December 31, 2014 the Bank had another $195.7 million in unused borrowing capacity at the FHLB.

SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Historically the Bank’s cash flow from operating activities has been relatively stable.  The cash flows from investing activities vary with sales of investments and with the need to invest excess funds or utilize leverage strategies with the purchase of mortgage-backed and investment securities.  The cash flows from financing activities vary depending on the need for FHLB advances and other borrowings.

Security Federal Corporation is a separate legal entity from Security Federal Bank and must provide for its own liquidity and pay its own operating expenses. Sources of capital and liquidity for Security Federal Corporation include distributions from Security Federal Bank and the issuance of debt or equity securities, although there are regulatory restrictions on the ability of the Security Federal Bank to pay dividends. At December 31, 2014, Security Federal Corporation (on an unconsolidated basis) had liquid assets of $4.7 million.

Contractual Obligations

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contractual obligations that meet various business needs.  These contractual obligations include time deposits to customers, borrowings from the FHLB of Atlanta, other borrowings, junior subordinated debentures, senior convertible debentures and lease obligations for facilities.  See Notes 5, 9, 10, 11 and 12 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein for additional information.  The following table summarizes the Company’s long-term contractual obligations at December 31, 2014. Contractual repayments may differ from actual repayments because some of the obligations may be subject to calls.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of business, the Company makes off-balance sheet arrangements, including credit commitments to its customers to meet their financial needs.  These arrangements involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk not recognized in the consolidated statement of financial condition.  The Bank makes personal, commercial, and real estate lines of credit available to customers and does issue standby letters of credit.

Commitments to extend credit to customers are subject to the Bank’s normal credit policies and are essentially the same as those involved in extending loans to customers.  See Note 18 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein for additional information.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The Consolidated Financial Statements, related notes, and other financial information presented herein have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) that require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in relative purchasing power over time due to inflation.  Unlike most industrial companies, substantially all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature.  As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a financial institution's performance than does the effect of inflation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



Shareholders and Board of Directors
Security Federal Corporation and Subsidiaries
Aiken, South Carolina


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Security Federal Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss), shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Security Federal Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements



(1)
Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a description of the more significant accounting and reporting policies used in the preparation and presentation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(a)
Basis of Consolidation and Nature of Operations
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”).  Security Federal Corporation 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 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.  SFINS was formed during fiscal 2002 and began operating during the December 2001 quarter.  SFINS is an insurance agency offering auto, business, and home insurance.  SFINS has a wholly owned subsidiary, Collier Jennings Financial Corporation which has as subsidiaries Security Federal Auto Insurance, The Auto Insurance Store Inc., and Security Federal Premium Pay Plans Inc. Security Federal Premium Pay Plans Inc. has one wholly owned premium finance subsidiary and also has an ownership interest in four other premium finance subsidiaries. SFSC was formed in 1975 and is currently inactive.

(b)
Change in Fiscal Year
The Company's Board of Directors approved a change in the Company's fiscal year end from March 31 to December 31, effective December 31, 2012. As a result of this change, the consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2012 include the Company's financial results for the nine month transition period from April 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012. The following table presents certain comparative transition period condensed financial information for the periods ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.

Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

(c)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing balances in other banks, and federal funds sold.  Cash equivalents have original maturities of three months or less.

(d)
Investment and Mortgage-Backed Securities
Investment securities, including mortgage-backed securities, are classified in one of three categories: held to maturity, available for sale, or trading.  Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase. Investment securities are classified as held to maturity when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity.  These securities are recorded at cost and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts over the estimated life of the security using a method that approximates a level yield.  Prepayment assumptions on mortgage-backed securities are anticipated.

Management classifies investment securities that are not considered to be held to maturity as available for sale.  This type of investment is stated at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in a separate component of shareholders' equity (“accumulated other comprehensive income”).  Gains and losses from sales of investment and mortgage-backed securities available for sale are determined using the specific identification method.  The Company had no investment in trading securities.

(e)
Loans Receivable Held for Investment
Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their outstanding principal balance adjusted for any charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest is recognized over the term of the loan based on the outstanding loan balance. Fees charged for originating loans, if any, are deferred and offset by the deferral of certain direct expenses associated with loans originated. The net deferred fees are recognized as yield adjustments by applying the interest method.

(f)
Allowance for Loan Losses
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 bank regulatory agencies that may require adjustments to be made to the allowance 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 less estimated selling costs.  In accordance with our policy, non-accrual commercial loans with a balance less than $200,000 and non-accrual consumer loans with a balance less than $100,000 are deemed immaterial and therefore excluded from the individual impairment review. 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.

(g)
Loans Receivable Held for Sale
Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate.  Net unrealized losses are provided for in a valuation allowance by charges to operations.

(h)
Other Real Estate Owned
Other real estate owned represents real estate and other assets acquired through foreclosure or repossession and are initially recorded at the estimated fair value less costs to sell.  Subsequent improvements are capitalized.  Costs of holding real estate, such as property taxes, insurance, general maintenance and interest expense, are expensed as a period cost.  Fair values are reviewed regularly and allowances for possible losses are established when the carrying value of the asset owned exceeds the fair value less estimated costs to sell.  Fair values are generally determined by reference to an outside appraisal.

(i)
Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment are carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation of premises and equipment is amortized on a straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the related asset.  Estimated lives are seven to 40 years for buildings and improvements and generally three to 10 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to current expense.  The cost of major renewals and improvements are capitalized.

(j)
Intangible Assets and Goodwill
Intangible Assets consist of the customer list and employment contracts resulting from the Company’s acquisition of Collier Jennings Financial Corporation in July 2006.  The goodwill also is a result of the excess of the cost over the fair value of net assets resulting from the Collier Jennings acquisition.

Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated economic lives using methods that reflect the pattern in which the economic benefits are utilized.  The intangible assets which consisted of the customer list and employment contracts resulting from the Company’s acquisition of Collier Jennings Financial Corporation, were fully amortized during the year ended December 31, 2014. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

(k)
Income Taxes
Income tax expense or benefit is recognized for the net change during the year in the deferred tax liability or asset.  That amount together with income taxes currently payable is the total amount of income tax expense or benefit for the year.  Deferred taxes are provided for by the differences in financial reporting bases for assets and liabilities compared with their tax bases.  Generally, a current tax liability or asset is established for taxes presently payable or refundable and a deferred tax liability or asset is established for future tax items.  A valuation allowance, if applicable, is established for deferred tax assets that may not be realized.  Tax bad debt reserves in excess of the base year amount (established as taxable years ending March 31, 1988 or later) would create a deferred tax liability.  Deferred income taxes are provided for in differences between the provision for loan losses for financial statement purposes and those allowed for income tax purposes.

The Company adopted accounting guidance which prescribes a threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosures.

There have been no gross amounts of unrecognized tax benefits or interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions since adoption. There are no unrecognized tax benefits that would, if recognized, affect the effective tax rate. There are no positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months. Years prior to March 31, 2011 are closed for federal, state and local income tax matters.

(l)
Loan Fees and Costs Associated with Originating Loans
Loan fees received, net of direct incremental costs of originating loans, are deferred and amortized over the contractual life of the related loan.  The net fees are recognized as yield adjustments by applying the interest method.  Prepayments are not anticipated.

(m)
Interest Income
Interest on loans is accrued and credited to income monthly based on the principal balance outstanding and the contractual rate on the loan.  The Company places loans on non-accrual status when they become greater than 90 days delinquent or when, in the opinion of management, full collection of principal or interest is unlikely.  When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received first to principal and then to interest income. The loans are returned to an accrual status when full collection of principal and interest appears likely.

(n)
Advertising Expense
Advertising and public relations costs are generally expensed as incurred.  External costs relating to direct mailing costs are expensed in the period in which the direct mailings are sent.  Advertising and public relations costs of $484,000, $356,000, and $304,000 were included in the Company’s results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the nine months ended December 31, 2012, respectively.

(o)
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for compensation costs under its stock option plans using the fair value method. This method requires the measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based upon the fair value of the award on the grant date. The cost of the award is recognized in the income statement over the vesting period of the award.

(p)
Earnings Per Share
Accounting guidance specifies computation and presentation requirements for both basic earnings per share ("EPS") and, for entities with complex capital structures, diluted EPS.  Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders 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 potential common shares had been issued.  The dilutive effect of options and warrants outstanding is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method.

Net income available to common shareholders represents consolidated net income adjusted for preferred dividends declared, accretion 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.

There were no dilutive securities or options for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 therefore no reconciliation is provided.

The average market price used in calculating the assumed number of dilutive shares issued for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the nine months ended December 31, 2012 was $14.56, $11.37, and $8.63 respectively. As a result of the average stock price being less than the exercise price of all options and warrants in years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the nine months ended December 31, 2012, the options are not dilutive in calculating diluted earnings per share for those periods.

(q)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(r)
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The following is a summary of recent authoritative pronouncements that could affect accounting, reporting, and disclosure of financial information by the Company:

In January 2014, the FASB amended the Receivables topic of the Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments are intended to resolve diversity in practice with respect to when a creditor should reclassify a collateralized consumer mortgage loan to other real estate owned (OREO). In addition, the amendments require a creditor reclassify a collateralized consumer mortgage loan to OREO upon obtaining legal title to the real estate collateral, or the borrower voluntarily conveying all interest in the real estate property to the lender to satisfy the loan through a deed in lieu of foreclosure or similar legal agreement.

SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

The amendments will be effective for the Company for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual period beginning after December 15, 2014, with early implementation of the guidance permitted. In implementing this guidance, assets that are reclassified from real estate to loans are measured at the carrying value of the real estate at the date of adoption. Assets reclassified from loans to real estate are measured at the lower of the net amount of the loan receivable or the fair value of the real estate less costs to sell at the date of adoption. The Company will apply the amendments prospectively. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance to change the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to reflect the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount equal to the consideration the entity receives or expects to receive. The guidance will be effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company will apply the guidance using a modified retrospective approach. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued guidance which makes limited amendments to the guidance on accounting for certain repurchase agreements. The new guidance (1) requires entities to account for repurchase-to-maturity transactions as secured borrowings (rather than as sales with forward repurchase agreements), (2) eliminates accounting guidance on linked repurchase financing transactions, and (3) expands disclosure requirements related to certain transfers of financial assets that are accounted for as sales and certain transfers (specifically, repos, securities lending transactions, and repurchase-to-maturity transactions) accounted for as secured borrowings. The amendments will be effective for the Company for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company will apply the guidance by making a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued guidance which clarifies that performance targets associated with stock compensation should be treated as a performance condition and should not be reflected in the grant date fair value of the stock award. The amendments will be effective for the Company for fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2015. The Company will apply the guidance to all stock awards granted or modified after the amendments are effective. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance that is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. In connection with preparing financial statements, management will need to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the organization’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The amendments will be effective for the Company for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2015, the FASB issued guidance that eliminated the concept of extraordinary items from U.S. GAAP. Existing U.S. GAAP required that an entity separately classify, present, and disclose extraordinary events and transactions. The amendments will eliminate the requirements for reporting entities to consider whether an underlying event or transaction is extraordinary, however, the presentation and disclosure guidance for items that are unusual in nature or occur infrequently will be retained and will be expanded to include items that are both unusual in nature and infrequently occurring. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The amendments may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

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

(s)       Risks and Uncertainties
In the normal course of its business, the Company encounters two significant types of risk: economic and regulatory.  There are three main components of economic risk: interest rate risk, credit risk, and market risk.  The Company is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice at different speeds, or on different bases, than its interest-earning assets.  Credit risk is the risk of default on the Company’s loan portfolio that results from borrowers’ inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments.  Market risk reflects changes in the value of collateral underlying loans receivable, the valuation of real estate held by the Company, and the valuation of loans held for sale and mortgage-backed securities available for sale.  The Company is subject to the regulations of various government agencies.  These regulations can and do change significantly from period to period.  The Company also undergoes periodic examinations by the bank regulatory agencies, which may subject it to further changes with respect to asset valuations, amounts of required loss allowances, and operating restrictions, resulting from the regulators’ judgments based on information available to them at the time of their examination.

(t)
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in prior years’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current period classifications.

Securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair market value.  At December 31, 2014, 67.8% of the unrealized losses, or twenty-four individual securities, consisted of securities in a continuous loss position for 12 months or more.  At December 31, 2013, 11.4% of the unrealized losses, or eleven individual securities, 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.

There was no OTTI recognized during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.


(3)         Investment and Mortgage-Backed Securities, Held to Maturity

On June 30, 2013, the Company transferred all of its investment and mortgage-backed securities classified as held to maturity to available for sale. Based on changes in the current rate environment, management elected this change in an effort to more effectively manage the investment portfolio, including subsequently selling some securities that were formerly classified as held to maturity. The amortized cost of the securities that were transferred totaled $72.0 million and the net unrealized gain related to these securities totaled $1.4 million on the date of the transfer. As a result of the transfer and subsequent sales, the Company believes its held to maturity classification process has been compromised and careful evaluation and analysis will be required going forward in determining when circumstances are suitable for management to assert with a great degree of credibility that it has the intent and ability to hold investment and mortgage-backed securities to maturity.

The Company uses a risk based approach based on the following credit quality measures when analyzing the loan portfolio: pass, caution, special mention, and substandard. These indicators are used to rate the credit quality of loans for the purposes of determining the Company’s allowance for loan losses. Pass loans are loans that are performing and are deemed adequately protected by the net worth of the borrower or the underlying collateral value. These loans are considered the least risky in terms of determining the allowance for loan losses. Substandard loans are considered the most risky category. These loans typically have an identified weakness or weaknesses and are inadequately protected by the net worth of the borrower or collateral value. All loans 60 days or more past due are automatically classified in this category. The other two categories fall in between these two grades.

At December 31, 2014 and 2013, 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.

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 and records the loan at fair value. 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. The average balance of impaired loans was $22.2 million for year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $33.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The following tables are a summary of information related to impaired loans as of and for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and for the nine months ended December 31, 2012.

In the course of resolving delinquent loans, the Bank may choose to restructure the contractual terms of certain loans. A troubled debt restructuring ("TDR") is a restructuring in which the Bank, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to a borrower that it would not otherwise consider (FASB ASC Topic 310-40).  The concessions granted on TDRs generally include terms to reduce the interest rate, extend the term of the debt obligation, or modify the payment structure on the debt obligation. The Bank grants such concessions to reassess the borrower’s financial status and develop a plan for repayment.  All TDRs are included in impaired loans at December 31, 2014 and 2013 and amounted to $9.6 million and $12.4 million, respectively.

Loans on nonaccrual status at the date of modification are initially classified as nonaccrual TDRs. Loans on accruing status at the date of concession are initially classified as accruing TDRs if the note is reasonably assured of repayment and performance is expected in accordance with its modified terms. Such loans may be designated as nonaccrual loans subsequent to the concession date if reasonable doubt exists as to the collection of interest or principal under the restructuring agreement. Nonaccrual TDRs are returned to accruing status when there is economic substance to the restructuring, there is documented credit evaluation of the borrower's financial condition, the remaining balance is reasonably assured of repayment in accordance with its modified terms, and the borrower has demonstrated sustained repayment performance in accordance with the modified terms for a reasonable period of time (generally a minimum of six months).

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Bank modified two loans that were considered to be TDRs. The Bank lowered the interest rate on both of these loans to enable the borrowers to begin making monthly principal and interest payments. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Bank modified five loans that were considered to be a TDR. The Bank lowered the interest rate on each of these loans and changed the payment to interest only on for an agreed upon period on three of these loans. During the nine months ended December 31, 2012, the Bank modified one loan that was considered to be a TDR. The Bank lowered the interest rate on the loan and changed the payment to interest only.

At December 31, 2014, seven restructured loans were in default, including the one which had been restructured in the last 12 months. At December 31, 2013, 5 loans that had been previously restructured were in default and at December 31, 2012 6 previously restructured loans were in default. The Bank considers any loan 30 days or more past due to be in default.

Our policy with respect to accrual of interest on loans restructured in a TDR follows relevant supervisory guidance.  That is, if a borrower has demonstrated performance under the previous loan terms and shows capacity to perform under the restructured loan terms, continued accrual of interest at the restructured interest rate is likely.  If a borrower was materially delinquent on payments prior to the restructuring but shows capacity to meet the restructured loan terms, the loan will likely continue as nonaccrual going forward.  Lastly, if the borrower does not perform under the restructured terms, the loan is placed on nonaccrual status.

We will continue to closely monitor these loans and will cease accruing interest on them if management believes that the borrowers may not continue performing based on the restructured note terms.  If, after previously being classified as a TDR, a loan is restructured a second time, then that loan is automatically placed on nonaccrual status.  Our policy with respect to nonperforming loans requires the borrower to make a minimum of six consecutive payments in accordance with the loan terms before that loan can be placed back on accrual status.  Further, the borrower must show capacity to continue performing into the future prior to restoration of accrual status.

In accordance with accounting guidance, the Company evaluates its goodwill on an annual basis. The evaluations were performed as of September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 for fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. At the time of the evaluations the Company determined that no impairment existed. Therefore, there was no write-down of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 or for the nine months ended December 31, 2012.

(7)         FHLB Stock

The Bank, as a member of the FHLB of Atlanta, is required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in the FHLB of Atlanta in an amount equal to a membership component, which is 0.15% of total assets at September 30, 2014 and 2013 plus a transaction component which equals 4.5% of outstanding advances (borrowings) from the FHLB of Atlanta.  The Bank is in compliance with this requirement with an investment in FHLB of Atlanta stock of $3.1 million and $5.0 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. No readily available market exists for this stock and it has no quoted fair value.  However, because redemption of this stock has historically been at par, it is carried at cost.

(8)         Other Real Estate Owned

The Bank owned $3.2 million and $3.9 million in other real estate owned at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Transactions in other real estate owned for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the nine months ended December 31, 2012 are summarized below.

(11)         Junior Subordinated Debentures

On September 21, 2006, Security Federal Statutory Trust (the “Trust”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, 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 $5.2 million. The Trust loaned these proceeds to the Company to use for general corporate purposes, primarily to provide capital to the Bank.

The Capital Securities accrue and pay distributions quarterly at a floating rate of three month LIBOR plus 170 basis points which was a rate per annum equal to 1.94% at December 31, 2014 and 2013.  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, or upon earlier optional redemption as provided in the indenture. The Company has had the right to redeem the Capital Securities in whole or in part since September 15, 2011.


(12)    Senior Convertible Debentures

Effective December 1, 2009, the Company issued $6.1 million in convertible senior debentures. These debentures will mature on December 1, 2029 and accrue interest at the rate of 8.0% per annum until maturity or earlier redemption, repayment, or conversion into common stock. Interest on the debentures is payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year, and commenced June 1, 2010. These 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 convertible senior 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. These debentures are 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.

Deferred tax assets represent the future tax benefit of deductible differences and, if it is more likely than not that a tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the recorded deferred tax assets to net realizable value. As of December 31, 2014, management has determined that it is more likely than not that the total deferred tax asset will be realized except for the deferred tax asset associated with State net operating loss carryforwards, and, accordingly, has established a valuation allowance only for this item. The change in the valuation allowance was $12,026. Net deferred tax assets are included in other assets at December 31, 2014 and 2013. The Company had state net operating losses attributable to the non-bank entities of $6.7 million and $6.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

(13)         Income Taxes, Continued

Retained earnings at December 31, 2014 included tax bad debt reserves of $2.2 million, for which no provision for federal income tax has been made. If, in the future, these amounts are used for any purpose other than to absorb bad debt losses, including dividends, stock redemptions, or distributions in liquidation, or the Company ceases to be qualified as a bank, they may be subject to federal income tax at the prevailing corporate tax rate.  

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had no material unrecognized tax benefits or accrued interest and penalties. It is the Company's policy to account for interest and penalties accrued relative to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.

Tax returns for 2011 and subsequent years are subject to examination by taxing authorities.


(14)         Regulatory Matters

The Federal Reserve and bank regulatory agencies require bank holding companies and financial institutions to maintain capital at adequate levels based on a percentage of assets and off-balance sheet exposures, adjusted for risk weights ranging from 0% to 100%. Under the capital adequacy guidelines, regulatory capital is classified into two tiers. These guidelines require an institution to maintain a certain level of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital to risk-weighted assets. Tier 1 capital consists of common shareholders' equity, excluding the unrealized gain or loss on securities available for sale, minus certain intangible assets. In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, including certain off-balance sheet assets, are multiplied by a risk-weight factor of 0% to 100% based on the risks believed to be inherent in the type of asset. Tier 2 capital consists of Tier 1 capital plus the general reserve for loan losses, subject to certain limitations. The Bank is required to maintain capital at a minimum level based on total average assets, which is known as the Tier 1 leverage ratio.

Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and discretionary actions by regulators that could have a material adverse effect on the Company.  As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Bank was categorized as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  There are no conditions or events that management believes have changed that classification as of the date of this Annual Report.

As of January 1, 2015, FDIC regulations require insured state-chartered banks to maintain (i) a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets of 4.00%, (ii) a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 6.00%, (iii) a minimum ratio of total-capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.00% and (iv) a minimum ratio of “Common Equity Tier 1 Capital” to risk-weighted assets of 4.50%. The Federal Reserve requires Security Federal Corporation to maintain capital adequacy that generally parallels the FDIC requirements.  At December 31, 2014, Security Federal Corporation and Security Federal Bank each exceeded all applicable capital requirements and there are no conditions or events that management is aware of that would prevent them from meeting the new capital requirements as of the date of this Annual Report.

(15)         Employee Benefit Plans

The Company is participating in a multiple employer defined contribution employee benefit plan covering substantially all employees with six months or more of service.  The Company matches a portion of the employees’ contributions and the plan has a discretionary profit sharing provision.  The total employer contributions were $186,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014, $189,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013 and $145,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2012.

The Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”).  The ESPP allows employees of the Company to purchase stock quarterly through a payroll deduction at a discount calculated as 15% of the market value with a floor equal to the Company’s book value.  The ESPP, which was approved by stockholders in July 2005, became effective in January 2007. Participation in the ESPP is voluntary.  Employees are limited to investing $25,000 or 5% of their annual salary, whichever is lower, during the year.  During the year ended December 31, 2014, there were no employee stock purchases within the plan.

The Company implemented an Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Plan") during the year ended December 31, 2014. Incentive awards are based on the financial and operating performance of the Company as well as other participant specific objectives. The Plan allows employees of the Company to earn up to 7.5 days of their annual salary for successfully completing specific goals established by the participants and their respective supervisors plus an additional 2.5 days of their annual salary if the Company meets an annual predetermined net operating income amount determined by the Board of Directors. The Company also implemented an Incentive Compensation Plan for executive level officers (the "Executive Plan"). Under this plan incentive awards are based on contributions to performance as measured by critical operating and financial ratios, and other participant specific objectives. The Company has to meet the annual predetermined net operating income amount determined by the Board of Directors for any incentive awards to be paid under the Executive Plan. If the Company does not meet the required net income amount, no incentives are paid regardless of the executive's performance on individual objectives or entity wide objectives. Participation in both plans is voluntary. At December 31, 2014, the Company accrued $335,000 for incentive payments related to both plans, which were paid during 2015.

Certain officers of the Company participate in a supplemental retirement plan.  These benefits are not qualified under the Internal Revenue Code and they are not funded.  During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the nine months ended December 31, 2012, the Company incurred expenses of $103,000, $172,000, and $144,000, respectively, for this plan.

Certain officers and directors of the Company participate in incentive and non-qualified stock option plans. Prior to fiscal 2010, the Company had three stock option plans that together authorized the Company to grant 150,000 options. In 2008, the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan was approved by stockholders and implemented by the Company with the intention of replacing the previous three option plans. No additional options are to be granted under the old plans and forfeitures under the old plans are not added to the new plan as available options, however, all existing options outstanding under these plans remain in effect. The 2008 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the grant of non-qualified and incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARS”), and restricted stock awards. Under the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan, 50,000 shares of common stock are reserved for the issuance of stock options and SARS in addition to 50,000 shares subject to restricted stock awards. The plan is administered by a committee appointed by the Board of Directors. The committee determines the specific employees, amount and type of any awards granted. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were 50,000 shares available for issuance under this plan for stock options and SARS. Options under all plans are granted at exercise prices not less than the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant.  An additional 50,000 shares is available for restricted stock issuances.

(16)         Stock Warrants

In conjunction with its participation in the U.S. Department of Treasury’s (“Treasury”) Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”) in 2008, the Company sold a warrant to the Treasury to purchase 137,966 shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrant had a 10-year term and was immediately exercisable upon issuance.

On July 31, 2013, the Company repurchased its outstanding warrant at a fair market value of $50,000 from the U.S. Treasury. As a result of the transaction the warrant was canceled which reduced warrants outstanding by $400,000 and increased additional paid in capital by $350,000.

(17)         Bank Owned Life Insurance

The cash value of the life insurance policies are recorded as a separate line item in the accompanying balance sheets at $11.2 million and $11.5 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The insurance provides key person life insurance on certain officers of the Company.  The earnings-portion of the insurance policies grows tax deferred and helps offset the cost of the Company’s benefits programs.  The Company recorded earnings of $300,000 and $339,000 and $315,000 for the growth in the cash value of life insurance during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the nine months ended December 31, 2012, respectively. The earnings in 2014 also included $254,000 in death benefits in addition to $300,000 in income related to changes in the cash surrender value of the BOLI policies.

(18)         Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, the Company has various outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities that are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  In addition, the Company is a defendant in certain claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of the Company.

In conjunction with its lending activities, the Bank enters into various commitments to extend credit and issue letters of credit.  Loan commitments (unfunded loans and unused lines of credit) and letters of credit are issued to accommodate the financing needs of the Bank's customers.  Loan commitments are agreements by the Bank to lend at a future date, so long as there are no violations of any conditions established in the agreement.  Letters of credit commit the Bank to make payments on behalf of customers when certain specified events occur.

Financial instruments where the contract amount represents the Bank's credit risk include commitments under pre-approved but unused lines of credit of $44.5 million and $30.8 million, undisbursed loans in process of $1.4 million and $3.5 million, and letters of credit of $802,000 and $2.2 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

These loan and letter of credit commitments are subject to the same credit policies and reviews as loans on the balance sheet.  Collateral, both the amount and nature, is obtained based upon management's assessment of the credit risk.  Since many of the extensions of credit are expected to expire without being drawn, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  In addition to these loan commitments noted above, the Bank had unused credit card loan commitments of $4.4 million and $4.5 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The Bank also had outstanding commitments on mortgage loans not yet closed of $571,000 at December 31, 2014 compared to none at December 31, 2013.  These commitments, which are funded subject to certain limitations, extend over varying periods of time with the majority being funded within 45 days.  At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Bank had outstanding commitments to sell approximately $1.9 million and $1.2 million of loans, respectively, which encompassed the Bank’s held for sale loans.  The Bank also has commitments to sell mortgage loans not yet closed, on a best efforts basis.  Best efforts means the Bank suffers no penalty if they are unable to deliver the loans to the potential buyers.  The fair value of the Bank’s commitment to originate mortgage loans at committed interest rates and to sell such loans to permanent investors is insignificant.

Loans to all employees, officers, and directors of the Company, in the aggregate constituted approximately 3.4% and 5.7% of the Company’s total shareholders' equity at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  At December 31, 2014 and 2013, deposits from executive officers and directors of the Company and the Bank and their related interests in the aggregate approximated $15.1 million and $6.8 million, respectively.

The Company leased office space from a related party during the year ended December 31, 2014. The lease is with a company in which the related party, who is both a director and an officer of the Company, has an ownership interest.  The Company incurred expenses of $81,000, $79,000, and $58,000 for rent for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the nine months ended December 31, 2012, respectively, related to this lease.   Management is of the opinion that the transactions with respect to office rent were made on terms that are comparable to those which would be made with unaffiliated persons.

(20)    Stock Issuance and Exchange

The Company was approved to participate in the Treasury’s Community Development Capital Initiative (“CDCI”).  The CDCI was established by the Treasury under the Troubled Asset Relief Program to invest lower cost capital in Community Development Financial Institutions (“CDFI”), supporting their efforts to provide credit to small businesses and other qualified customers in connection with the downturn in the economy.

In connection with its participation in the CDCI, on September 29, 2010, the Company (i) exchanged all $18.0 million (aggregate liquidation preference amount) of its Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (“Series A Preferred Stock”), previously sold to the Treasury pursuant to the CPP, for $18.0 million (aggregate liquidation preference amount) of the Company’s newly designated Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), (ii) sold 400,000 shares of its common stock at $10.00 per share in a private offering to board members of the Company for aggregate gross proceeds of $4.0 million; and (iii) received an additional $4.0 million investment from the Treasury through the sale of an additional $4.0 million (aggregate liquidation preference amount) of its Series B Preferred Stock to the Treasury.  The additional $4.0 million investment from the Treasury was contingent upon the Company’s completion of the $4.0 million separate stock offering for the same amount, as required by the Company’s primary regulator at the time, the Office of Thrift Supervision.  The warrant sold by the Company to the Treasury in connection with the Company’s participation in Treasury’s CPP in 2008 remained outstanding after the exchange until its repurchase by the Company in 2013.
 
Participation in the CDCI provided the Company with $8.0 million in additional capital and lowered the cost of the capital received from the Treasury.  The annual dividend rate on the Series A Preferred Stock was 5% and was to have increased to 9% on February 15, 2014.  The annual dividend rate on the Series B Preferred Stock is 2% for the first eight years from the date of issuance, or until September 19, 2018, and 9% thereafter if still then outstanding.  The Company and the Bank must maintain eligibility as a CDFI under Treasury regulations, otherwise, the annual dividend rate on the Series B Preferred Stock will increase to 5% if such eligibility is not corrected within 180 days and will further increase to 9% if not corrected after 270 days.

In addition, on December 22, 2010, the Company sold 82,906 shares of its common stock, $0.01 par value per share, through a private placement. The purchase price was $10.00 per share and the net proceeds received from the sale of these shares was $829,060. This was the final phase in the Company’s current plan to raise additional capital. 

On July 31, 2013, the Company repurchased its outstanding warrant at a fair market value of $50,000 from the U.S. Treasury. As a result of the transaction the warrant was canceled, which reduced warrants outstanding by $400,000 and increased additional paid in capital by $350,000.

(22)         Carrying Amounts and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company has 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.
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 December 31, 2014, the Company’s investment portfolio was comprised of government and agency bonds, mortgage-backed securities issued by government agencies or government sponsored enterprises, municipal securities, and equity investments. The portfolio did not contain any private label mortgage-backed securities. Fair value measurement is based upon prices obtained from third party pricing services that 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 institutional 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.  Therefore, these loans present very little market risk for the Company.

SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

(22)         Carrying Amounts and Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Continued

The Company usually delivers to, and receives funding from, the investor within 30 days.  Commitments to sell these loans to the investor are considered derivative contracts and are sold to investors on a “best efforts" basis. The Company is not obligated to deliver a loan or pay a penalty if a loan is not delivered to the investor. As a result of the short-term nature of these derivative contracts, the fair value of the mortgage loans held for sale in most cases is the same as the value of the loan amount at its origination. These loans are classified as Level 2.

Impaired Loans

The Company does not record loans held for investment 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 as necessary. 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 sell, 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 current 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 December 31, 2014, 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. The Company records impaired loans as nonrecurring Level 3.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the recorded investment in impaired loans was $20.2 million and $31.4 million, respectively. The average recorded investment in impaired loans was $22.2 million for year ended December 31, 2014 and $33.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.

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 less estimated selling costs. 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 3. 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.

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.
 
Certificates of deposits with other banks—Fair value is based on market prices for similar assets.
 
Investment securities held to maturity—Securities held to maturity are valued at quoted market prices or dealer quotes.
 
Loans Receivable, Net—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.
 
FHLB 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.
 
Senior Convertible Debentures— The fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar debenture offerings with similar terms and maturities would be issued by similar institutions. As discount rates are based on current debenture rates as well as management estimates, the fair values presented may not be indicative of the value negotiated in an actual sale.
 
Junior Subordinated Debentures—The carrying value of junior subordinated debentures approximates fair value.

(22)         Carrying Amounts and Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Continued

At December 31, 2014, the Bank had $45.3 million of off-balance sheet financial commitments.  These commitments are to originate loans and 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 Bank’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument.  Because no active market exists for a significant portion of the Bank’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 Bank 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.

Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. Recognized subsequent events are events or transactions that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements. Nonrecognized subsequent events are events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date. Management has reviewed all events occurring through the date the financial statements were available to be issued and determined that the following subsequent events required disclosure.

During January 2015, the Bank sold $18.6 million of its available for sale securities consisting of fourteen tax exempt municipal bonds which resulted in a $979,000 gain on sale of investments.

Also during January 2015 in a related transaction, the Bank prepaid two FHLB advances totaling $10.0 million and incurred prepayment penalties of $511,000 related to these transactions.

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had approximately 268 shareholders of record, not including shares held in street name, and 2,944,001 outstanding shares of common stock.

DIVIDENDS
The first quarterly dividend on the stock was paid to shareholders on March 15, 1991.  Dividends will be paid upon the determination of the Board of Directors that such payment is consistent with the long-term interest of the Company.  The factors affecting this determination include the Company’s current and projected earnings, operating results, financial condition, regulatory restrictions, future growth plans, and other relevant factors. The Company has paid $0.08 per share cash dividends each quarter since the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

The ability of the Company to pay dividends depends primarily on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Company.  The Bank may not declare or pay a cash dividend on its stock or repurchase shares of its stock if the offset thereof would be to cause its regulatory capital to be reduced below the amount required to meet applicable regulatory capital requirements.  South Carolina banking regulations restrict the amount of dividends that the Bank can pay to the Company, and may require prior approval before declaration and payment of any excess dividend.  Unlike the Bank, there is no regulatory restriction on the payment of dividends by the Company; however, it is subject to the requirements of South Carolina law.  South Carolina law generally prohibits the Company from paying dividends if, after giving effect to a proposed dividend: (1) the Company would be unable to pay its debts as they become due in the normal course of business, or (2) the Company’s total assets would be less than its total liabilities plus the sum that would be needed to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of shareholders whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the dividend. In addition, payment of dividends by the Company is subject to certain limitations resulting from participation in the CPP. The Federal Reserve also has the authority to prohibit the Company from paying a dividend on its common and/or preferred stock. See Note 20 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein for additional information.
