SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"); therefore, they do not include all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.  Such statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of results for the selected interim periods.  Users of financial information produced for interim periods are encouraged to refer to the footnotes contained in the audited consolidated financial statements appearing in Security Federal Corporation’s (the “Company”) 2018 Annual Report to Shareholders which was filed as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (“2018 10-K”) when reviewing interim financial statements. The unaudited consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Security Federal Bank (the “Bank”) and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Security Federal Insurance, Inc. (“SFINS”) and Security Financial Services Corporation (“SFSC”). SFINS is an insurance agency offering auto, business, health and home insurance.  SFINS has a wholly owned subsidiary, Collier Jennings Financial Corporation, which has as subsidiaries 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 is currently inactive. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

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

3. Critical Accounting Policies

The Company has adopted various accounting policies, which govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States in the preparation of our financial statements.  Our significant accounting policies are described in the footnotes to the audited consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2018 included in our 2018 Annual Report to Shareholders.  Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by management, which have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities, and, as such, have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported.  We consider these accounting policies to be critical accounting policies.  The judgments and assumptions we use are based on historical experience and other factors, which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions we make, actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates which could have a material impact on our carrying values of assets and liabilities and our results of operations.

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 impact of an unexpected and sudden large loss could deplete the allowance and potentially require increased provisions to replenish the allowance, which would negatively affect earnings. 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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

3. Critical Accounting Policies, Continued

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 our bank regulatory agencies, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve"), the FDIC and the South Carolina Board of Financial Institutions, 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.  Expected cash flows are required to be discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate.  When the ultimate collectibility of an impaired loan’s principal is in doubt, wholly or partially, all cash receipts are applied to principal.  When this doubt does not exist, cash receipts are applied under the contractual terms of the loan agreement first to interest and then to principal.  Once the recorded principal balance has been reduced to zero, future cash receipts are applied to interest income to the extent that any interest has been foregone.  Further cash receipts are recorded as recoveries of any amounts previously charged off.

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

4. Earnings Per Share

Accounting guidance specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings per share (“EPS”) for entities with publicly held common stock or potential common stock such as options, warrants, convertible securities or contingent stock agreements if those securities trade in a public market. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted EPS is similar to the computation of basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive common shares had been issued.  The dilutive effect of options outstanding under the Company’s stock option plan is reflected in diluted EPS by application of the treasury stock method. There were no stock options outstanding at March 31, 2019. All of the options outstanding at March 31, 2018 had an exercise price below the average market price during the three months ended March 31, 2018. Therefore, these options were considered to be dilutive to EPS in that period. Diluted EPS also assumes the convertible debentures were converted into 302,200 and 303,200 shares of common stock at the beginning of the three month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The related interest expense recorded during the period is added back to the EPS numerator while the underlying shares are added to the denominator.

The following tables include a summary of the Company's basic and diluted EPS for the periods indicated.

Student Loan Pools are typically 97% guaranteed by the United States government while SBA bonds are 100% backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government. Included in the tables above and below in mortgage-backed securities are Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") mortgage-backed securities, which are also backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government.  At March 31, 2019, AFS GNMA mortgage-backed securities had an amortized cost and fair value of $78.2 million and $78.7 million, respectively, compared to an amortized cost and fair value of $80.4 million and $80.2 million, respectively, at December 31, 2018.

Also included in mortgage-backed securities in the tables above and below are private label collateralized mortgage obligation ("CMO") securities, which are issued by non-governmental real estate mortgage investment conduits and are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government.  At March 31, 2019 the Bank held AFS private label CMO mortgage-backed securities with an amortized cost and fair value of $29.3 million and $29.4 million, respectively, compared to an amortized cost and fair value of $29.7 million and $29.5 million, respectively, at December 31, 2018.

The amortized cost and fair value of investment and mortgage-backed securities available for sale at March 31, 2019 are shown below by contractual maturity.  Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers have the right to prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Since mortgage-backed securities are not due at a single maturity date, they are disclosed separately, rather than allocated over the maturity groupings set forth in the table below.

Securities classified as available for sale are recorded at fair market value.  At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 47.1% and 72.4% of the unrealized losses, representing 86 and 92 individual securities, respectively, 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 the Company 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 recognizedduring the three months ended March 31, 2019.

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 to have the least amount of risk in terms of determining the allowance for loan losses. Loans that are graded as substandard are considered to have the most risk. 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 90 days or more past due are automatically classified in this category. The caution and special mention categories fall in between the pass and substandard grades and consist of loans that do not currently expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification but possess weaknesses.

The tables below summarize the balance within each risk category by loan type, excluding loans held for sale, at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company did not have any loans that were 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest. The Company's strategy is to work with its borrowers to reach acceptable payment plans while protecting its interests in the existing collateral.  In the event an acceptable arrangement cannot be reached, the Company 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 the 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 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. The average balance of impaired loans was $6.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $8.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

In the course of resolving delinquent loans, the Company may choose to restructure the contractual terms of certain loans. A troubled debt restructuring ("TDR") is a restructuring in which the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to a borrower that it would not otherwise consider (Financial Accounting Standards Board ("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 Company grants such concessions to reassess the borrower’s financial status and develop a plan for repayment.  

At the date of modification, TDRs are initially classified as nonaccrual TDRs. TDR loans 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).

TDRs included in impaired loans at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were $1.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively, and the Company had no commitments at these dates to lend additional funds on these loans. There were no new TDRs during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. At March 31, 2019, one TDR loan with a balance of $363,000 was in default. In comparison, at March 31, 2018, one TDR loan with a balance of $570,000 was in default. There were no TDRs, for which there was a payment default within the first 12 months of the modification during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. The Bank considers any loan 30 days or more past due to be in default.

The Company's policy with respect to accrual of interest on loans restructured as 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 probable. 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.

The Company closely monitors 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.  The Company's policy with respect to nonperforming loans requires the borrower to make a minimum of six consecutive payments in accordance with the modified loan terms before that loan can be placed back on accrual status.  Further, the borrower must demonstrate the capacity to continue making payments on the loan prior to restoration of accrual status.

9. Regulatory Matters

The Bank, as a state-chartered, federally insured savings bank, is subject to the capital requirements established by the FDIC. Under the FDIC's capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weighting and other factors.

The Company is a bank holding company registered with the 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. For a bank holding company with less than $3.0 billion in assets, the capital guidelines apply on a bank only basis and the Federal Reserve expects the holding company's subsidiary banks to be well-capitalized under the prompt corrective action regulations. If Security Federal Corporation was subject to regulatory guidelines for bank holding companies with $3.0 billion or more in assets, it would have exceeded all regulatory capital requirements with Common Equity Tier 1 ("CET1") capital, Tier 1 leverage-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based capital ratios of 14.6%, 9.3%, 15.5% and 16.8%, respectively, at March 31, 2019.

Based on its capital levels at March 31, 2019, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements as of that date. Consistent with the Bank's goals to operate a sound and profitable organization, it is the Bank's policy to maintain a "well-capitalized" status under the regulatory capital categories of the FDIC. Based on capital levels at March 31, 2019, the Bank was considered to be "well-capitalized" under applicable regulatory requirements. Management monitors the capital levels to provide for current and future business opportunities and to maintain the Bank's "well-capitalized" status.

The table below provides the Bank’s regulatory capital requirements and actual results at the dates indicated.

	Actual			For Capital Adequacy			To Be "Well-Capitalized"
(Dollars in Thousands)	Amount		Ratio	Amount		Ratio	Amount		Ratio
	March 31, 2019
Tier 1 Risk-Based Core Capital (To Risk Weighted Assets)	$	89,832	16.1%	$	33,426	6.0%	$	44,567	8.0%
Total Risk-Based Capital (To Risk Weighted Assets)	96,818		17.4%	44,567		8.0%	55,709		10.0%
Common Equity Tier 1 Capital (To Risk Weighted Assets)	89,832		16.1%	25,069		4.5%	36,211		6.5%
Tier 1 Leverage (Core) Capital (To Adjusted Tangible Assets)	89,832		9.8%	36,756		4.0%	45,945		5.0%
	December 31, 2018
Tier 1 Risk-Based Core Capital (To Risk Weighted Assets)	$	89,188	16.2%	$	33,005	6.0%	$	44,007	8.0%
Total Risk-Based Capital (To Risk Weighted Assets)	96,092		17.5%	44,007		8.0%	55,009		10.0%
Common Equity Tier 1 Capital (To Risk Weighted Assets)	89,188		16.2%	24,754		4.5%	35,756		6.5%
Tier 1 Leverage (Core) Capital (To Adjusted Tangible Assets)	89,188		9.8%	36,486		4.0%	45,608		5.0%

In addition to the minimum capital requirements, the Bank must maintain a capital conservation buffer, which consists of additional CET1 capital greater than 2.5% of risk weighted assets above the required minimum levels in order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, repurchasing shares, and paying discretionary bonuses. At March 31, 2019 the Bank’s conservation buffer was 9.4%.

10. Carrying Amounts and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

GAAP requires the Company to disclose fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet and to measure that fair value using an exit price notion, the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability, in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date under current market conditions.

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 -	Quoted Market Price in Active Markets 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 -	Significant Other Observable Inputs 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 -	Significant Unobservable Inputs 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 March 31, 2019, the Company’s investment portfolio was comprised of student loan pools, government and agency bonds, mortgage-backed securities issued by government agencies or GSEs, private label CMO mortgage-backed securities, municipal securities, and one equity investment. 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 a result, 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 the FHLMC or other investors, are carried in the Company’s loans held for sale portfolio.  These loans are fixed rate residential loans that have been originated in the Company’s name and have closed.  Virtually all of these loans have commitments to be purchased by investors and the majority of these loans were locked in by price with the investors on the same day or shortly thereafter that the loan was locked in with the Company’s customers.  Therefore, these loans present very little market risk for the Company. The Company usually delivers a commitment 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 impaired, management measures the impairment by determining the fair value of the collateral for the loan.

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 March 31, 2019, our impaired loans were generally 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. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the recorded investment in impaired loans was $5.5 million and $9.4 million, respectively.

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. Foreclosed assets are recorded as nonrecurring Level 3.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

	March 31, 2019						December 31, 2018

There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

For Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis at March 31, 2019, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements were as follows:

			Valuation	Significant
Level 3 Assets	Fair Value		Technique	Unobservable Inputs	Range
Collateral Dependent Impaired Loans	$	4,849,902	Appraised Value	Discount Rates/ Discounts to Appraised Values	3% - 97%
Foreclosed Assets	$	809,341	Appraised Value/Comparable Sales	Discount Rates/ Discounts to Appraised Values	14% - 100%

For assets and liabilities not presented on the balance sheet at fair value, the following methods are used to determine 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 Deposit 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.

Other Borrowed Money—The carrying value of these short term borrowings approximates fair value.

Note Payable—The carrying value of the note payable 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.

The following tables provide a summary of the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 presented in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

10. Carrying Amounts and Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Continued

At March 31, 2019, the Bank had $93.1 million in 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 amount 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.

11. Accounting and Reporting Changes

The following is a summary of recent authoritative pronouncements that could affect accounting, reporting, and disclosure of financial information by the Company:

In February 2016, the FASB amended the Leases topic of the ASC to revise certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leasing transactions. In July 2018, the FASB further amended the Leases Topic of the ASC to make narrow amendments to clarify how to apply certain aspects of the new leases standard. The amendments also give entities another additional and optional method for transition to the new guidance and to provide lessors with a practical expedient. The amendments were effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted the new standard and recorded a right-of use asset and lease liability of $3.1 million effective January 1, 2019. Additional disclosures required by the ASC have been included in "Note 13 - Leases."

In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance to change the accounting for credit losses and modify the impairment model for certain debt securities. The guidance significantly changes the impairment model for most financial assets that are measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments from an incurred loss model to an expected loss model. The amendments will be effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for all entities beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is in the process of identifying required changes to the loan loss estimation models and processes and evaluating the impact of this new guidance. Once adopted, the Company expects the allowance for loan losses to increase, however, until its evaluation is complete the magnitude of the increase will be unknown.

In March 2017, the FASB issued guidance on Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The guidance shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. The amendments were effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption of these amendments did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

11. Accounting and Reporting Changes, Continued

In June 2018, the FASB amended the Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments expand the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. Previously, these awards were recorded at the fair value of consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued and was measured as the earlier of the commitment date or date performance was completed. The guidance requires the awards to be measured at the grant-date fair value of the equity instrument. The new standard became effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption of these amendments did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB amended the Fair Value Measurement Topic of the ASC to remove, modify, and add certain fair value disclosure requirements based on the concepts in the FASB Concepts Statement, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting-Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements. The amendments will be effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this guidance and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2019, the FASB issued guidance to address concerns by lessors that are not manufacturers or dealers when assessing the fair value of underlying assets under the leases standard discussed above and to clarify that lessees and lessors are exempt from a certain interim disclosure requirement associated with adopting the new standard. The amendments will be effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its 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 consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

12. Non-Interest Income

The Company recognizes revenue as it is earned and noted no impact to its revenue recognition policies as a result of the adoption of ASU 2014-09. The following is a discussion of key revenues within the scope of this guidance.

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with Topic 606, revenues are recognized when control of promised goods or services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of Topic 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606, the Company assesses the goods or services that are promised within each contract and identifies those that contain performance obligations, and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

Deposit Fees

The Bank earns fees from its deposit customers for account maintenance, transaction-based and overdraft services.  Account maintenance fees consist primarily of account fees and analyzed account fees charged on deposit accounts on a monthly basis.  The performance obligation is satisfied and the fees are recognized on a monthly basis as the service period is completed. Transaction-based fees on deposits accounts are charged to deposit customers for specific services provided to the customer, such as non-sufficient funds fees, overdraft fees, and wire fees. The performance obligation is completed as the transaction occurs and the fees are recognized at the time each specific service is provided to the customer.

12. Non-Interest Income, Continued

Check Card Fee Income

Check card fee income represents fees earned when a debit card issued by the Bank is used.  The Bank earns interchange fees from debit cardholder transactions through the Mastercard payment network.  Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder. The performance obligation is satisfied and the fees are earned when the cost of the transaction is charged to the card.  Certain expenses directly associated with the debit card are recorded on a net basis with the fee income.

Trust Income

Trust income includes monthly advisory fees that are based on assets under management and certain transaction fees that are assessed and earned monthly, concurrently with the investment management services provided to the customer. The Bank does not charge performance based fees for its trust services and does not currently have any institutional clients, hedge funds or mutual funds. Although trust income is included within the scope of ASC 606, based on the fees charged by the Bank, there were no changes in the accounting for trust income at this time.  

Gains/Losses on OREO Sales

Gains/losses on the sale of OREO are included in non-interest expense and are generally recognized when the performance obligation is complete. This is typically at delivery of control over the property to the buyer at the time of each real estate closing.

The following table presents the Company's non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. All of the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers within the scope of ASC 606 is recognized in non-interest income, with the exception of gains on the sale of OREO, which are included in non-interest expense when applicable.

13. Leases

Effective January 1, 2019 the Company adopted ASC 842 “Leases.” Currently, the Company has operating leases on six of its branches that are accounted for under this standard. As a result of this standard, the Company recognized a right-of-use asset of $3.1 million effective January 1, 2019. During the period ended March 31, 2019, the Company made cash payments in the amount of $111,000 for operating leases. The lease expense recognized during this period amounted to $114,000 and the lease liability was reduced by $94,000. The following table is a maturity analysis of the operating lease liabilities. The weighted average lease term is eight years and the weighted average discount rate used is 3.2%.

Year	Cash Payments	Lease Expense	Liability Reduction

14. Subsequent Events

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 consolidated financial statements were available to be issued and determined that there were no subsequent events requiring disclosure.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $6.4 million or 50.5% to $19.1 million at March 31, 2019 from $12.7 million at December 31, 2018. The increase relates to the Bank's investment of $8.6 million in deposits through the Insured Cash Sweep or ICS service at March 31, 2019 compared to none at December 31, 2018.

Investment and mortgage-backed securities AFS increased $16.1 million or 4.2% to $402.4 million at March 31, 2019 from $386.3 million at December 31, 2018 as purchases of new investment and mortgage backed securities AFS exceeded maturities, principal paydowns, and investments sold during the quarter. Investment and mortgage-backed securities HTM decreased $200,000 or 0.8% to $23.4 million at March 31, 2019 from $23.6 million at December 31, 2018 as a result of maturities and principal paydowns.

OREO increased $87,000 or 12.0% to $809,000 at March 31, 2019 from $722,000 at December 31, 2018. The increase was due to the the addition of three OREO properties with a total book value of $390,000 during the three months endedMarch 31, 2019, which was partially offset by the sale of three OREO properties during the same three month period with a total book value of $354,000. At March 31, 2019, OREO consisted of the following real estate properties: three single-family residences, two lots within residential subdivisions, one parcel of commercial land, and one commercial building located throughout our market areas in Georgia and South Carolina.

Premises and equipment, net increased $1.0 million or 4.3% to $25.2 million at March 31, 2019 from $24.2 million at December 31, 2018 as result of our growth and recent expansion into the Augusta, Georgia market. The Bank’s newest branch, located in Augusta, Georgia, is under construction but scheduled to open later this year. It will be a full-service branch offering depository banking as well as commercial and consumer lending.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the amended Leases topic of the ASC 842. As a result of this standard, the Company recognized $3.1 million in right-of-use assets on that date. Currently, the Company has operating leases on six of its facilities that are accounted for under this standard. At March 31, 2019 these assets had a balance of $3.0 million. For additional information regarding the adoption of this topic, refer to Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.

FHLB stock decreased $278,000 or 12.6% to $1.9 million at March 31, 2019 from $2.2 million at December 31, 2018 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 0.09% of total assets, plus a transaction component, which is 4.25% of outstanding advances (borrowings) from the FHLB of Atlanta. As the Bank's total advances have decreased, so has its required investment in FHLB stock.

The cash value of BOLI increased $135,000 or 0.6% to $21.4 million at March 31, 2019 from $21.2 million at December 31, 2018. The entire increase was a result of income recognized during the period due to changes in the cash surrender value of the underlying policies. 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 officers of the Company.

Other assets decreased $798,000 or 14.5% to $4.7 million at March 31, 2019 from $5.5 million at December 31, 2018. The decrease was primarily the result of a $923,000 decrease in net deferred taxes, which was related to increased unrealized gains in the investment portfolio at March 31, 2019.

Liabilities

Deposit Accounts

Total deposits increased $21.4 million or 2.8% to $788.9 million at March 31, 2019 from $767.5 million at December 31, 2018. This growth was primarily due to an increase in checking accounts which increased $9.5 million during the first three months of 2019. The balances, weighted average rates and increases and decreases in deposit accounts were as follows at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

	March 31, 2019			December 31, 2018				Increase (Decrease)

Advances From FHLB

FHLB advances are summarized by contractual year of maturity and weighted average interest rate in the table below:

	March 31, 2019			December 31, 2018			Increase (Decrease)
Year Due:	Balance		Rate	Balance		Rate	Balance			Percent
2019	15,500,000		1.48%	23,530,000		1.55%	(8,030,000		)	(34.1)%
2020	10,500,000		1.91	10,500,000		1.91	—			—
Total Advances	$	26,000,000	1.65%	$	34,030,000	1.66%	$	(8,030,000	)	(23.6)%

Advances are secured by a blanket collateral agreement with the FHLB pledging the Bank’s portfolio of residential first mortgage loans and investment securities with an amortized cost and fair value of $74.8 million and $68.6 million, respectively, at March 31, 2019 and $79.1 million and $71.4 million, respectively, at December 31, 2018.

There were no callable FHLB advances at March 31, 2019. Callable advances are callable at the option of the FHLB.  If an advance is called, the Bank has the option to pay off the advance without penalty, re-borrow funds on different terms, or convert the advance to a three-month floating rate advance tied to LIBOR.

Other Borrowings

The Bank had $14.0 million in other borrowings (non-FHLB advances) at March 31, 2019, an increase of $3.3 million or 31.3% from $10.7 million at December 31, 2018. These borrowings consist of short-term repurchase agreements with certain commercial demand deposit customers for sweep accounts. The repurchase agreements typically mature within one to three days and the interest rate paid on these borrowings floats monthly with money market type rates. The interest rate paid on the repurchase agreements was 0.25% at both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The Bank had pledged as collateral for these repurchase agreements investment and mortgage-backed securities with amortized costs and fair values of $15.5 million and $15.6 million, respectively, at March 31, 2019 and $16.7 million and $16.7 million, respectively, at December 31, 2018.

Note Payable

On October 31, 2016, the Company repurchased all 22,000 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock from the United States Department of the Treasury ("Treasury") for $21.4 million. In connection with the funding of this repurchase, the Company obtained a $14.0 million unsecured term loan from another financial institution. The loan accrues and pays interest quarterly at a floating rate of the Wall Street Journal Prime index minus 30 basis points, which was equal to 5.20% at March 31, 2019. The unpaid principal balance is payable in 11 consecutive quarterly payments of $437,500 each, with a balloon payment equal to the entire remaining principal balance due on October 1, 2019. At March 31, 2019, the remaining principal balance on the loan was $1.5 million.

The note has the following covenants with which the Bank must maintain compliance: the Bank must maintain a "Well Capitalized" rating in accordance with regulatory standards, a Risk-Based Capital Ratio of not less than 12.00%, a “Modified” Texas Ratio of not more than 30.00%, and an annual return on assets of at least 0.60%. The Bank is also required to maintain a loan loss reserve an amount deemed adequate by all federal and state regulatory authorities. Management of the Bank reviews these covenants quarterly for compliance. At March 31, 2019, management believes that the Bank was in compliance with all of these covenants.

Junior Subordinated Debentures

On September 21, 2006, Security Federal Statutory Trust (the "Trust"), issued and sold fixed and floating rate 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 Sheets 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 4.31% at March 31, 2019. 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.

Convertible Debentures

Effective December 1, 2009, the Company issued $6.1 million in convertible senior debentures. The debentures will mature on December 1, 2029 and accrue interest at the rate of 8.0% per annum until maturity or earlier redemption or repayment. Interest on the debentures is payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year and commenced on June 1, 2010. The debentures are convertible into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $20 per share at the option of the holder at any time prior to maturity. The debentures are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company at any time on or after December 1, 2019, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the debentures to be purchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption. The debentures 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.

Equity

Shareholders’ equity increased $4.7 million or 5.8% to $85.2 million at March 31, 2019 from $80.5 million at December 31, 2018. The increase was attributable to net income of $2.1 million combined with a $2.8 million or 10,096.8% increase in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax during the three months endedMarch 31, 2019. The increase in net accumulated other comprehensive income was related to the unrecognized gain in value of investment and mortgage-backed securities during the first quarter of 2019. These increases in equity were partially offset by $266,000 in dividends paid to common shareholders during the three months ended March 31, 2019. Book value per common share was $28.83 at March 31, 2019 compared to $27.26 at December 31, 2018.

Results of Operations for the Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 2019 and 2018

Net Income

Net income increased $359,000 or 20.7% to $2.1 million or $0.67 per diluted common share for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $1.7 million or $0.56 per diluted common share for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in earnings was primarily the result of increases in net interest income and non-interest income, which were partially offset by increases in non-interest expense and the provision for income taxes.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased $652,000 or 9.9% to $7.3 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2019, compared to $6.6 million for the same period in 2018. During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, average interest earning assets increased $41.6 million or 5.1% to $851.5 million from $809.9 million for the same period in 2018. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $22.8 million or 3.2% to $727.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $705.0 million for the comparable period in 2018. The Company's net interest margin was 3.45% for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 compared to 3.30% for the same quarter in 2018. The Company's net interest spread on a tax equivalent basis increased eight basis points to 3.30% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from 3.22% for the comparable period in 2018.

Interest Income

⁽¹⁾Annualized

⁽²⁾Tax equivalent basis recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and was calculated using an effective tax rate of 21% for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. The tax equivalent adjustment relates to the tax exempt municipal bonds and was $77,951 and $84,415 for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Total tax equivalent interest income increased $1.3 million or 15.9% to $9.1 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 compared to $7.9 million during the same period in 2018. This increase was primarily the result of a $41.6 million increase in average interest-earning assets combined with an increase of 40 basis points in the average yield on interest-earning assets. Total interest income on loans increased $614,000 or 11.4% to $6.0 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 from $5.4 million during the comparable period in 2018. The increase was the result of a $26.3 million or 6.5% increase in the average loan portfolio balance combined with an increase of 24 basis points in the average yield on loans. Interest income from MBS increased $234,000 or 17.8% to $1.5 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 due to a $2.4 million increase in the average balance combined with an increase of 42 basis points in the average MBS portfolio yield. Tax equivalent interest income from investment securities increased $347,000 or 30.3% to $1.5 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 due to a $7.3 million or 3.7% increase in the average balance of the investment securities portfolio combined with an increase of 60 basis points in the average yield on investment securities.

Total interest expense increased $605,000 or 51.7% to $1.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2018 reflecting the rise in market interest rates over the last year. The increase was attributable to increases in interest rates paid and a $22.8 million or3.2% increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. Interest expense on deposits increased $678,000 or 92.1% to $1.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $736,000 for the same period in 2018. The increase was attributable to a 38 basis point increase in the average cost of deposit accounts combined with a $46.2 million or 7.4% increase in average interest-bearing deposits to $667.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $621.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Provision for Loan Losses

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

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

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

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

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

The table below shows the changes in the allowance for loan losses for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

	Three Months Ended March 31,

Total Loans Receivable, Net	$	429,313,593	$	416,465,261

^{(1) TOTAL LOANS HELD FOR INVESTMENT, NET OF DEFERRED FEES AND LOANS IN PROCESS.} 

The Company had net charge-offs of $473,000, or 0.43% of gross loans, for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 compared to net charge-offs of $18,000, or 0.02% of gross loans, for the comparable period in 2018. Consistent with the increase in net charge-offs, the provision for loan losses also increased to $100,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 compared to no provision for loan losses during the first quarter of 2018. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of gross loans was 2.02% at March 31, 2019 compared to 1.94% at March 31, 2018.

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 need to acquire these properties through foreclosure or other means and subsequently sell, develop or liquidate them.

Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate based on its best estimates of the probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio, although there can be no guarantee these estimates will not be proven incorrect in the future. 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 increased $152,000 or 7.4% to $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The following table summarizes the changes in non-interest income:

Total Non-Interest Income	$	2,195,832	$	2,044,020	$	151,812		7.4	%

The increase in non-interest income was primarily attributable to increases in grant and other income, which were partially offset by decreases in gain on sale of investment securities and gain on sale of loans.During the first quarter of 2019, the Company received a Bank Enterprise Award grant from the Treasury in the amount of $233,000 in recognition of its continued commitment to community development in economically distressed areas. A similar grant was received in 2018, but not until the third quarter.

Net gain on sale of investment securities was $291,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $146,000 or 33.4% compared to $436,000 for the same period last year. The decrease resulted from fewer sales of investment securities during the first quarter of 2019 compared to the same period last year. Gain on sale of loans decreased $112,000 or 39.1% as the dollar volume of loans sold to investors decreased.

Non-Interest Expense

For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, non-interest expense increased $226,000 or 3.5% to $6.7 million compared to $6.5 million for the same period in 2018. The following table summarizes the changes in non-interest expense:

	Three Months Ended March 31,					Increase (Decrease)

Total Non-Interest Expense	$	6,744,515		$	6,518,946	$	225,569		3.5%

Compensation and employee benefits expenses increased $370,000 or 9.7% to $4.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 compared to $3.8 million for the same period last year due to general annual cost of living increases combined with an increase in the number of full time equivalent employees as a result of our growth and expansion into the Augusta, Georgia market.

The Company had a net recovery of $92,000 from the operation of OREO properties during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 compared to a net cost of $39,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2018. This line item includes all expenses associated with OREO including write-down in value and gain or loss on sales incurred during each period. The Company recorded $110,000 in net gain on sales of OREO properties and no write-downs during the first quarter of 2019 compared to net gain on sales of $12,000 and write-downs of $10,000 during the first quarter of 2018.

Other non-interest expenses decreased $75,000, or 5.7% to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $1.3 million for the same period in the prior year. Other expenses include legal, professional and consulting expenses, supplies and other miscellaneous expenses.

Provision For Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes increased $120,000 or 30.0% to $520,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $400,000 for the same period in 2018. Income before income taxes was $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $2.1 million for the same three month period in 2018. The Company’s combined federal and state effective income tax rate for the current quarter was 19.9% compared to 18.8% for the same quarter one year ago.

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

Liquidity

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

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

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 loan repayments exceeded loan disbursements resulting in a $740,000 or 0.2% decrease in total net loans receivable. Also during the three months ended March 31, 2019, deposits increased $21.4 million or 2.8% and FHLB advances decreased $8.0 million or 23.6%. The Bank had $247.6 million in additional borrowing capacity at the FHLB at the end of the period. At March 31, 2019, the Bank had $169.0 million of certificates of deposit maturing within one year. Based on previous experience, the Bank anticipates a significant portion of these certificates will be renewed on maturity.

At March 31, 2019, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements with Common Equity Tier 1 Capital (CET1), Tier 1 leverage-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital, and total risk-based capital ratios of 16.1%, 9.8%, 16.1%, and 17.4%, respectively. To be categorized as “well capitalized” under the prompt corrective action provisions the Bank must maintain minimum CET1, total risk based capital, Tier 1 risk based capital and Tier 1 leverage capital ratios of 6.5%, 10.0%, 8.0% and 5.0%, respectively. In addition to the minimum capital requirements, the Bank must maintain a capital conservation buffer, which consists of additional CET1 capital greater than 2.5% of risk weighted assets above the required minimum levels in order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, repurchasing shares, and paying discretionary bonuses. At March 31, 2019 the Bank’s conservation buffer was 9.4%.

The Company is a bank holding company registered with the 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. For a bank holding company with less than $3.0 billion in assets, the capital guidelines apply on a bank only basis and the Federal Reserve expects the holding company's subsidiary banks to be well-capitalized under the prompt corrective action regulations. If Security Federal Corporation was subject to regulatory guidelines for bank holding companies with $3.0 billion or more in assets, at March 31, 2019, it would have exceeded all regulatory capital requirements with CET1, Tier 1 leverage-based capital, Tier 1 risk- based capital and total risk-based capital ratios of 14.6%, 9.3%, 15.5%, and 16.8%, respectively.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments

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

The following table sets forth the length of time until maturity for unused commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit at March 31, 2019.

(Dollars in thousands)	One Month or Less		After One Through Three Months		After Three Through Twelve Months		Total Within One Year		Greater Than One Year		Total
Unused Lines of Credit	$	1,236	$	2,125	$	28,152	$	31,513	$	59,732	$	91,245
Standby Letters of Credit	186		—		1,522		1,708		101		1,809
Total	$	1,422	$	2,125	$	29,674	$	33,221	$	59,833	$	93,054

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. The Company’s market risk arises principally from interest rate risk inherent in its lending, investment, deposit and borrowing activities. Management actively monitors and manages its interest rate risk exposure. Although the Company manages other risks such as credit quality and liquidity risk in the normal course of business, management considers interest rate risk to be its most significant market risk that could potentially have the largest material effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Other types of market risks such as foreign currency exchange rate risk and commodity price do not arise in the normal course of the Company’s business activities.

The Company’sprofitability is affected by fluctuations in the market interest rate. Management’s goal is to maintain a reasonable balance between exposure to interest rate fluctuations and earnings. A sudden and substantial increase or decrease in interest rates may adversely impact the Company’s earnings to the extent that the interest rates on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities do not change at the same rate, to the same extent or on the same basis. The Company monitors the impact of changes in interest rates on its net interest income using a test that measures the impact on net interest income and net portfolio value of an immediate change in interest rates in 100 basis point increments. Net portfolio value is defined as the net present value of assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet contracts.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Bank's interest rate spread, defined as the average yield on interest bearing assets less the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities was 3.30%.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a - 15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”)) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of the Company’s senior management as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that at March 31, 2019 the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and or fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
