Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 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”) 2022 Annual Report to Shareholders which was filed as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (“2022 10-K”) when reviewing interim financial statements. The unaudited consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or any other period. 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.

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 Investments, Inc. ("SFINV") and Security Federal Insurance, Inc. (“SFINS”). SFINV was formed to hold investment securities and allow for better management of the securities portfolio. SFINS is an insurance agency offering auto, business, and home insurance. 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.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT 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, 2022 included in our 2022 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. There have been no significant changes to the application of significant accounting policies since December 31, 2022, except for the following:

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2023

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326. This standard replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. CECL requires an estimate of credit losses for the remaining estimated life of the financial asset using historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and generally applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities, and some off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded commitments to extend credit. Financial assets measured at amortized cost will be presented at the net amount expected to be collected by using an allowance for credit losses.

In addition, CECL made changes to the accounting for AFS debt securities. One such change is to require credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on AFS debt securities if management does not intend to sell and does not believe that it is more likely than not, they will be required to sell.

SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company adopted ASC 326 and all related subsequent amendments thereto effective January 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective approach for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures. The transition adjustment of the adoption of CECL included an increase in the allowance for credit losses on loans of $784,000, which is presented as a reduction to net loans outstanding, and an increase in the allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments of $1.2 million, which is recorded within "Other Liabilities." The adoption of CECL had an insignificant impact on the Company's held to maturity and AFS securities portfolios. The Company recorded a net decrease to retained earnings of $1.6 million as of January 1, 2023 for the cumulative effect of adopting CECL, which reflects the transition adjustments noted above, net of the applicable deferred tax assets recorded. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented under CECL while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable accounting standards (“Incurred Loss”).

The Company adopted ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach for debt securities for which other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized prior to January 1, 2023. As of December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any other-than-temporarily impaired investment securities. Therefore, upon adoption of ASC 326, the Company determined that an allowance for credit losses on AFS securities was not deemed material.

The Company elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivable and instead elected to reverse interest income on loans or securities that are placed on nonaccrual status, which is generally when the instrument is 90 days past due, or earlier if the Company believes the collection of interest is doubtful. The Company has concluded that this policy results in the timely reversal of uncollectible interest.

Allowance for Credit Losses – Held to Maturity Securities

Management measures expected credit losses on held to maturity debt securities on a collective basis by major security type. Accrued interest receivable on held to maturity debt securities totaled $729,000 at June 30, 2023 and was excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

The estimate of expected credit losses is primarily based on the ratings assigned to the securities by debt rating agencies and the average of the annual historical loss rates associated with those ratings. The Company then multiplies those loss rates, as adjusted for any modifications to reflect current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts as considered necessary, by the remaining lives of each individual security to arrive at a lifetime expected loss amount. Additionally, private label collateralized mortgage obligation ("CMO") securities which are not explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government are evaluated utilizing underlying pool data such as historical loss rates, loan-to-value ratios and credit enhancement data. See "Note 7 - Investments Held to Maturity" with regards to the held to maturity portfolio major security types.

All mortgage-backed securities issued by government-sponsored corporations are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly rated by major rating agencies and have a long history of no credit losses. The state and local governments securities held by the Company are highly rated by major rating agencies.

As a result, no allowance for credit losses was recorded on held to maturity securities at June 30, 2023.

Allowance for Credit Losses – Available for Sale Securities

For AFS securities, management evaluates all investments in an unrealized loss position on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. If the Company has the intent to sell the security or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security, the security is written down to fair value and the entire loss is recorded in earnings.

If either of the above criteria is not met, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value is the result of credit losses or other factors. In making the assessment, the Company may consider various factors including the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, performance on any underlying collateral, downgrades in the ratings of the security by a rating agency, the failure of the issuer to make scheduled interest or principal payments and adverse conditions specifically related to the security. If the assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security and any excess is recorded as an allowance for credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any amount of unrealized loss that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit loss is recognized in other comprehensive income.

Table of Contents

SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Changes in the allowance for credit loss are recorded as provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the allowance for credit loss when management believes an AFS security is confirmed to be uncollectible or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. At June 30, 2023, there was no allowance for credit loss related to the AFS portfolio.

Accrued interest receivable on AFS debt securities totaled $2.8 million at June 30, 2023 and was excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

Loans

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at amortized cost. Amortized cost is the principal balance outstanding, net of purchase premiums and discounts and deferred fees and costs. Accrued interest receivable related to loans is reported in accrued interest receivable on the consolidated balance sheets. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using methods that approximate a level yield without anticipating prepayments.

The accrual of interest is generally discontinued when a loan becomes 90 days past due and is not well collateralized and in the process of collection, or when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that the principal or interest will not be collectible in the normal course of business. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. A loan is considered to be past due when a scheduled payment has not been received 30 days after the contractual due date.

All accrued interest is reversed against interest income when a loan is placed on nonaccrual status. Interest received on such loans is accounted for using the cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Under the cost-recovery method, interest income is not recognized until the loan balance is reduced to zero. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current, there is a sustained period of repayment performance, and future payments are reasonably assured.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans

The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans' amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans are charged off against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off. Accrued interest receivable is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

The allowance for credit losses represents management’s estimate of lifetime credit losses inherent in loans as of the balance sheet date. The allowance for credit losses is estimated by management using relevant available information, from both internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

The Company measures expected credit losses for loans on a pooled basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The Company has identified the following portfolio segments:

Real Estate

•

Construction - Construction loans consist of loans to construct a borrower’s primary or secondary residence or vacant land upon which the owner intends to construct a dwelling at a future date. These loans are typically secured by undeveloped or partially developed land in anticipation of completing construction of a 1-4 family residential property. There is risk these construction and development projects can experience delays and cost overruns exceeding the borrower’s financial ability to complete the project. Such cost overruns can result in foreclosure of partially completed and unmarketable collateral. In addition, construction loans consist of loans to finance land for development of commercial or residential real property and construction of multifamily apartments or other commercial properties. These loans are highly dependent on the supply and demand for commercial real estate as well as the demand for newly constructed residential homes and lots acquired for development. Deterioration in demand could result in decreased collateral values, which could make repayments of outstanding loans difficult for customers.

•

Residential Mortgage - Residential mortgages consist of loans to purchase or refinance the borrower’s primary dwelling, second residence or vacation home and are often secured by 1-4 family residential property. Significant and rapid declines in real estate values can result in borrowers having debt levels in excess of the current market value of the collateral.

Table of Contents

SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

•

Commercial - Owner occupied commercial mortgages consist of loans to purchase or re-finance owner occupied nonresidential properties. Typically, owner occupied commercial real estate loans are secured by office buildings, warehouses, manufacturing facilities and other commercial and industrial properties occupied by operating companies. Commercial mortgages secured by owner occupied properties are primarily dependent on the ability of borrowers to achieve business results consistent with those projected at loan origination. While these loans are collateralized by real property in an effort to mitigate risk, it is possible the liquidation of collateral will not fully satisfy the obligation. Non-owner occupied commercial mortgages consist of loans to purchase or refinance investment nonresidential properties. Typically, non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans are generally secured by office buildings and complexes, retail facilities, multifamily complexes, land under development, industrial properties, as well as other commercial or industrial real estate. The primary risk associated with non-owner occupied commercial mortgage loans is the ability of the income-producing property that collateralizes the loan to produce adequate cash flow to service the debt. While these loans are collateralized by real property in an effort to mitigate risk, it is possible the liquidation of collateral will not fully satisfy the obligation.

Commercial and Agricultural - Commercial business loans consist of loans or lines of credit to finance accounts receivable, inventory or other general business needs, business credit cards, and lease financing agreements for equipment, vehicles, or other assets. The primary risk associated with commercial and industrial and lease financing loans is the ability of borrowers to achieve business results consistent with those projected at origination. Failure to achieve these projections presents risk the borrower will be unable to service the debt consistent with the contractual terms of the loan or lease.

Consumer loans

•

Home equity - Home equity loans consist of home equity lines of credit and other lines of credit secured by first or second liens on the borrower’s primary residence. These loans are secured by both senior and junior liens on the residential real estate and are particularly susceptible to declining collateral values.

•

Other - Consumer loans consist of loans to finance unsecured home improvements, student loans, automobiles and revolving lines of credit that can be secured or unsecured. The value of the underlying collateral within this class is at risk of potential rapid depreciation which could result in unpaid balances in excess of the collateral.

The Company calculates the allowance for credit losses on loans for each pool of loans using a remaining life loss methodology with a two quarter reasonable and supportable forecast period and an immediate reversion period. Management believes that the Company’s historical loss experience provides the best basis for its assessment of expected credit losses on loans to determine the allowance for credit losses. The Company uses its own internal data to measure historical credit loss experience within the loan pools with similar risk characteristics over an economic cycle. The Company then forecasts the calculated historical loss rates over the calculated remaining life of loans by pool.

Additionally, the allowance for credit losses calculation includes subjective adjustments for qualitative risk factors that are likely to cause estimated credit losses to differ from historical experience. These qualitative adjustments may increase or reduce reserve levels and include adjustments for lending management experience and risk tolerance, loan review and audit results, asset quality and portfolio trends, loan portfolio growth, industry concentrations, trends in underlying collateral, external factors and economic conditions not already captured.

Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. When management determines that foreclosure is probable and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, the expected credit losses are based on the fair value of collateral at the reporting date adjusted for selling costs as appropriate.

Allowance for Credit Losses – Unfunded Commitments

Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit issued to meet customer financing needs. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for off-balance sheet loan commitments is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

Table of Contents

SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company records an allowance for credit losses - unfunded commitments unless the commitments to extend credit are unconditionally cancellable, through a charge to provision for unfunded commitments in the Company’s income statements. The allowance for credit losses - unfunded commitments is estimated by loan segment at each balance sheet date under CECL using the same methodologies as portfolio loans, taking into consideration the likelihood that funding will occur as well as any third-party guarantees. The allowance for credit losses - unfunded commitments is included in other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

In January 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures” (“ASU 2022-02”), which eliminated the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, for public business entities, the guidance requires disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. The Company adopted the guidance using the modified retrospective method. Upon adoption of this guidance, the Company no longer establishes a specific reserve for modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Instead, these modifications are included in their respective cohort and a historical loss rate is applied to the current loan balance to arrive at the quantitative baseline portion of the allowance. The difference between the allowance previously determined and the current allowance was not material to the Company’s financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

In December 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amendments to extend the period of time preparers can use the reference rate reform relief guidance under ASC Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024, to address the fact that all London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") tenors were not discontinued as of December 31, 2021, and some tenors wouldn't be published until June 2023. The amendments are effective immediately for all entities and are applied prospectively. 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.

NOTE 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 June 30, 2023 or 2022; and therefore, no dilutive options were included in the calculation of diluted EPS for those periods. The following tables include a summary of the Company's basic EPS for the periods indicated.

NOTE 5 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Certain officers and directors of the Company participate in incentive and non-qualified stock option plans. Options are granted at exercise prices not less than the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. At June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no options outstanding and there was no activity during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. At those dates, there were 50,000 options available for grants.

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. The majority of the MBS included in the tables above and below are issued or guaranteed by an agency of the United States government such as Ginnie Mae, or by Government Sponsored Entities ("GSEs"), including Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Ginnie Mae MBS are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government, while those issued by GSEs are not. Also included in MBS in the tables above and below are private label 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 June 30, 2023, the Company held an amortized cost and fair value of $79.0 million and $72.0 million in private label CMO securities, compared to an amortized cost and fair value of $60.1 million and $53.8 million at December 31, 2022, respectively. There was no allowance for credit losses recorded on investments AFS as of June 30, 2023.

The amortized cost and fair value of investments AFS at June 30, 2023 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 MBS 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 investments AFS are recorded at fair market value. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 427 and 416 individual investments AFS were in a loss position, including 356 and 211 securities that were in a loss position for greater than 12 months, respectively. 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, unrealized losses have not been recognized into income. The Company reviews its investment securities portfolio at least quarterly and more frequently when economic conditions warrant, assessing whether an allowance for credit loss is deemed necessary.

Accrued interest receivable on AFS debt securities totaled $2.8 million at June 30, 2023 and was excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 62 and 54 individual investments HTM were in a loss position, including 19 and 6 securities that were in a loss position for greater than 12 months, respectively. The Company believes, based on industry analyst reports and credit ratings, that the deterioration in value was attributable to changes in market interest rates and was not in the credit quality of the issuer. The Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities to maturity.

The estimate of expected credit losses on investments HTM is primarily based on the ratings assigned to the securities by debt rating agencies and the average of the annual historical loss rates associated with those ratings. The Company then multiplies those loss rates, as adjusted for any modifications to reflect current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts as considered necessary, by the remaining lives of each individual security to arrive at a lifetime expected loss amount. Additionally, private label CMO securities which are not explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government are evaluated utilizing underlying pool data such as historical loss rates, loan-to-value ratios and credit enhancement data.

As a result of the analysis, there was no allowance for credit losses recorded for investments HTM as of June 30, 2023.

As of June 30, 2023, there were no HTM debt securities that were classified as either nonaccrual or 90 days or more past due and still accruing.

Accrued interest receivable on HTM debt securities totaled $729,000 at June 30, 2023 and was excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

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 credit 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 credit 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.

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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.

The Company has certain loans for which repayment is dependent upon the operation or sale of collateral, as the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The underlying collateral can vary based upon the type of loan. The following provides more detail about the types of collateral that secure collateral dependent loans:

•

Commercial real estate loans can be secured by either owner occupied commercial real estate or non-owner occupied investment commercial real estate. Typically, owner occupied commercial real estate loans are secured by office buildings, warehouses, manufacturing facilities and other commercial and industrial properties occupied by operating companies. Non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans are generally secured by office buildings and complexes, retail facilities, multifamily complexes, land under development, industrial properties, as well as other commercial or industrial real estate.

	•	Construction real estate loans are typically secured by commercial and residential lots.
	•	Commercial and agricultural business loans are primarily secured by business equipment, furniture and fixtures, inventory and receivables.
	•	Residential real estate loans are typically secured by first mortgages, and in some cases could be secured by a second mortgage.

•

Home equity lines of credit are generally secured by second mortgages on residential real estate property.

•

Consumer loans are generally secured by automobiles, motorcycles, recreational vehicles and other personal property. Some consumer loans are unsecured and have no underlying collateral.

The following table summarizes the amortized cost of collateral dependent loans:

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-13, loans were considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it was probable the Company would be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreements. Impaired loans include loans on nonaccrual status and accruing troubled debt restructurings. When determining if the Company would be unable to collect all principal and interest payments due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement, the Company considered the borrower’s capacity to pay, which included such factors as the borrower’s current financial statements, an analysis of global cash flow sufficient to pay all debt obligations and an evaluation of secondary sources of repayment, such as guarantor support and collateral value. Non-accrual commercial loans under $200,000 and non-accrual consumer loans under $100,000 were considered immaterial and are excluded from the impairment review. The tables below include all loans deemed impaired, whether or not individually assessed for impairment. If a loan was deemed impaired, a specific valuation allowance was allocated, if necessary, so that the loan was reported net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment was expected solely from the collateral.

Interest payments on impaired loans were typically applied to principal unless collectability of the principal amount was reasonably assured, in which case interest was recognized on a cash basis.

The table below summarizes the impaired loan balances evaluated individually and collectively for impairment within the allowance for loan losses and loans receivable balances at December 31, 2022:

Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty

The allowance for credit losses incorporates an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses and is recorded on each asset upon asset origination or acquisition. The starting point for the estimate of the allowance for credit losses is historical loss information, which includes losses from modifications of receivables to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. An assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of a modification.

Because the effect of most modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the allowance for credit losses because of the measurement methodologies used to estimate the allowance, a change to the allowance for credit losses is generally not recorded upon modification. Occasionally, the Company modifies loans by providing principal forgiveness on certain of its real estate loans. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amortized cost basis of the asset is written off against the allowance for credit losses. The amount of the principal forgiveness is deemed to be uncollectible; therefore, that portion of the loan is written off, resulting in a reduction of the amortized cost basis and a corresponding adjustment to the allowance for credit losses.

In some cases, the Company will modify a certain loan by providing multiple types of concessions. Typically, one type of concession, such as a term extension, is granted initially. If the borrower continues to experience financial difficulty, another concession, such as principal forgiveness, may be granted. As such multiple types of modifications may have been made on the same loan within the current reporting period each much be reported. The combination is at least two of the following: a term extension, principal forgiveness, and interest rate reduction.

Upon the Company's determination that a modified loan (or portion of a loan) has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or a portion of the loan) is written off. Therefore, the amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the allowance for credit losses is adjusted by the same amount.

The Company had two modified loans with a combined balance of $367,000 at June 30, 2023, compared to two modified loans with a combined balance of $385,000 at December 31, 2022.

The Company did not modify any loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the six months ended June 30, 2023 or 2022.

As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, there were no loans modified with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty for which there was a payment default within 12 months of the restructuring date. The Company considers any loan 30 days or more past due to be in default.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Unfunded Commitments

The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses - unfunded commitments for credit exposures such as unfunded balances for existing lines of credit and commitments to extend future credit, as well as both standby and commercial letters of credit when there is a contractual obligation to extend credit and when this extension of credit is not unconditionally cancellable (i.e., commitment cannot be canceled at any time). The allowance for credit losses - unfunded commitments is adjusted through the provision for (reversal of) credit losses. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur, which is based on a historical funding study derived from internal information, and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life, which are the same loss rates that are used in computing the allowance for credit losses on loans, and are discussed in this Note 8. The allowance for credit losses - unfunded commitments of $1.1 million and $0 at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, is separately classified on the balance sheet within "Other Liabilities."

The following tables present the balance and activity in the allowance for credit losses - unfunded loan commitments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

NOTE 10 - BORROWINGS

The Company had $69.2 million in outstanding borrowings under the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve”) Bank Term Funding Program (“BTFP”) with a weighted average borrowing rate of 4.42% at June 30, 2023 compared to $44.1 million in borrowings from the FRB discount window with a weighted average borrowing rate of 4.50% at December 31, 2022. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company elected to participate in the BTFP, allowing the Company to refinance its existing borrowings from the FRB discount window in order to receive a lower fixed rate. Advances made under the BTFP are for up to one year and will be extended at the one year overnight index swap ("OIS") rate as of the day the advance is made plus 10 basis points. The interest rate will be fixed for the term of the advance on the day the advance is made. To determine the rate, the BTFP will use the fixed OIS rate based on the effective federal funds rate for a one-year maturity. Depository institutions may borrow from the FRB discount window for periods as long as 90 days, and borrowings are prepayable and renewable by the borrower on a daily basis. At June 30, 2023, the Company had pledged as collateral for these borrowings investment securities with an amortized cost and fair value of $163.4 million and $149.7 million, compared to an amortized cost and fair value of $72.6 million and $69.2 million, respectively, at December 31, 2022, respectively.

The Company had $17.9 million and $27.6 million in other borrowings at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. These borrowings consist of short-term repurchase agreements with certain commercial demand deposit customers for sweep accounts. The repurchase agreements typically mature within one to three days and the interest rate paid on these borrowings floats monthly with money market type rates. The interest rate paid on the repurchase agreements was 1.49% at June 30, 2023 compared to 0.75% at December 31, 2022. Collateral pledged by the Company for these repurchase agreements consisted of investments with a combined amortized cost and fair value of $45.8 million and $42.7 million at June 30, 2023 and $52.3 million and $49.8 million at December 31, 2022, respectively.

There were no outstanding FHLB advances at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. FHLB advances are secured by a blanket collateral agreement with the FHLB by pledging the Company’s portfolio of residential first mortgage loans and investment securities. The Company's pledged collateral for FHLB advances had an amortized cost and fair value of $58.7 million and $51.3 million at June 30, 2023, and $70.1 million and $61.1 million at December 31, 2022, respectively.

NOTE 11 - SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

Junior Subordinated Debentures

In September 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 7.25% at June 30, 2023 compared to 6.47% at December 31, 2022. 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 had the right to redeem the Capital Securities in whole or in part since September 15, 2011.

As of a result of the discontinuation of LIBOR, effective June 30, 2023, the Capital Securities transitioned from its floating rate of three month LIBOR plus 170 basis points to a replacement rate of three month Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") as adjusted by the relevant spread adjustment of 0.26161.

Subordinated Debentures

In November 2019, the Company sold and issued to certain institutional investors $17.5 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.25% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due 2029 (the “10-Year Notes”) and $12.5 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.25% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due 2034 (the “15-Year Notes”, and together with the 10-Year Notes, the “Notes”).

The 10-Year Notes have a stated maturity of November 22, 2029, and bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.25% per year, from and including November 22, 2019 but excluding November 22, 2024. From and including November 22, 2024 to but excluding the maturity date or early redemption date, the interest rate shall reset semi-annually to an interest rate equal to the then-current three-month LIBOR rate plus 369 basis points.

The 15-Year Notes have a stated maturity of November 22, 2034, and bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.25% per year, from and including November 22, 2019 but excluding November 22, 2029. From and including November 22, 2029 to but excluding the maturity date or early redemption date, the interest rate for the 15-Year Notes shall reset semi-annually to an interest rate equal to the then-current three-month LIBOR rate plus 357 basis points. The Notes are payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year commencing June 1, 2020.

Both the 10-Year and 15-Note Year subordinated notes include remedies in the event that LIBOR is discontinued. The Company is currently determining an appropriate benchmark replacement for LIBOR. The Company expects the replacement benchmark to be materially consistent with the three-month LIBOR.

The Notes are not subject to redemption at the option of the holder and may be redeemed by the Company only under certain limited circumstances prior to November 22, 2024, with respect to the 10-Year Notes, and November 22, 2029, with respect to the 15-Year Notes. The Company may redeem the 10-Year Notes and the 15-Year Notes at its option, in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, after November 22, 2024 and November 22, 2029, respectively. The Notes are unsecured, subordinated obligations of the Company and rank junior in right to payment to the Company’s current and future senior indebtedness, and each Note is equal in right to payment with respect to the other Notes.

The Notes have been structured to qualify as Tier 2 capital for the Company under applicable regulatory guidelines. The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to fund the redemption of the convertible senior debentures and for general corporate purposes to support future growth.

During the year ended December 31, 2022 the Company repurchased $1.0 million in principal of the 10-Year Notes and $2.5 million in principal of the 15-Year Notes, leaving an aggregate remaining principal balance of $16.5 million and $10.0 million, respectively.

NOTE 12 - 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.

Based on its capital levels at June 30, 2023, 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 June 30, 2023, 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 tables below provide the Bank’s regulatory capital requirements and actual results at the dates indicated.

In addition to the minimum capital requirements, the Bank must maintain a capital conservation buffer, which consists of additional Common Equity Tier 1 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 June 30, 2023, the Bank’s conservation buffer was 11.0%.

NOTE 13 - 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). The following three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:

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 AFS

Investments AFS are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. At June 30, 2023, the Company’s investment portfolio was comprised of student loan pools, government and agency bonds, MBS issued by government agencies or GSEs, private label CMO securities and municipal 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 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.

Land Held for Sale

Land held for sale is reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. 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. The Company records land held for sale as nonrecurring level 3.

Collateral Dependent Loans

The Company does not record loans held for investment at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, the Company designates individually evaluated loans with higher risk as collateral dependent loans and an allowance for credit losses is established as necessary. Collateral dependent loans are loans for which the repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. These loans do not share common risk characteristics and are not included within the collectively evaluated loans for determining the allowance for credit losses. Under CECL, for collateral dependent loans, the Company has adopted the practical expedient to measure the allowance for credit losses based on the fair value of collateral. The allowance for credit losses is calculated on an individual loan basis based on the shortfall between the fair value of the loan's collateral, which is adjusted for estimated costs to sell, and amortized cost. If the fair value of the collateral exceeds the amortized cost, no allowance is required.

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 collateral dependent. 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 collateral dependent 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 June 30, 2023, all collateral dependent loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral. Loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. The Company records collateral dependent loans as nonrecurring Level 3.

Other Real Estate Owned

Fair value adjustments to OREO are recorded at the lower of the carrying amount of the loan or the fair value of the collateral less selling costs. Any write-downs based on the asset’s fair value at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for credit losses. After foreclosure, management periodically performs valuations such that the real estate is carried at the lower of its new cost basis or fair value, net of estimated costs to sell. Foreclosed assets are recorded as nonrecurring Level 3.

Other Real Estate Owned	Appraised Value/Comparable Sales	Discounts to appraised values for estimated holding or selling costs			30%	30%

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 HTM—Investment securities held to maturity are valued at quoted market prices or dealer quotes.

Loans Receivable, Net—The fair value of loans is estimated using an exit price notion. The exit price notion uses a discounted cash flows technique to calculate the present value of expected future cash flows for a financial instrument and also incorporates other factors, such as enhanced credit risk, illiquidity risk and market factors that sometimes exist in exit prices in dislocated markets. The credit risk assumption is intended to approximate the fair value that a market participant would realize in a hypothetical orderly transaction.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company’s loan portfolio is initially fair valued using a segmented approach. The Company divides its loan portfolio into the following categories: construction, residential mortgage, commercial real estate, other commercial, HELOCs and other consumer loans. The results are then adjusted to account for credit risk as described above.

A further credit risk discount must be applied through the use of a discounted cash flow model to compensate for illiquidity risk, based on certain assumptions included within the discounted cash flow model, primarily the use of discount rates that better capture inherent credit risk over the lifetime of a loan. This consideration of enhanced credit risk provides an estimated exit price for the Company’s loan portfolio. For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, fair values approximate carrying values.

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 and Borrowings from the FRB—Fair value is estimated using discounted cash flows with current market rates for borrowings with similar terms. The Company had no outstanding FHLB advances as of June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

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

Subordinated 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 the dates indicated presented in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance.

At June 30, 2023, the Company had $176.1 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 Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument.

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

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

NOTE 14 - NON-INTEREST INCOME

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (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.

Table of Contents

SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

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.

Service Fees on Deposit Accounts

The Company 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.

ATM and Check Card Fee Income

Check card fee income represents fees earned when a debit card issued by the Company is used. The Company 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 Company 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 Company, there were no changes in the accounting for trust income.

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 the 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 periods indicated. 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.

NOTE 16 - PREFERRED STOCK

On May 24, 2022, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement (“Agreement”) with the U.S. Department of Treasury under the Emergency Capital Investment Program (“ECIP”). Established by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, the ECIP was created to encourage low- and moderate-income community financial institutions and minority depository institutions to provide loans, grants, and forbearance for small businesses, minority-owned businesses, and consumers, especially low-income and underserved communities, including counties with persistent poverty, that may be disproportionately impacted by the economic effect of the COVID-19 pandemic by providing direct and indirect capital investments in low- and moderate-income community financial institutions.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company agreed to issue and sell 82,949 shares of Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $82.9 million in cash. This ECIP investment is treated as tier 1 capital. The Preferred Stock bears no dividend for the first 24 months following the investment date. Thereafter, the dividend rate will be adjusted, not higher than 2%, based on the lending growth criteria listed in the Agreement. After the tenth anniversary of the investment date, the dividend rate will be fixed based on the average annual amount of lending in years 2 through 10. Dividends will be payable quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15.

The Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the option of the Company on or after the fifth anniversary of issuance (or earlier in the event of loss of regulatory capital treatment), subject to the approval of the appropriate federal banking regulator and in accordance with the federal banking agencies’ regulatory capital regulations. The Preferred Stock is reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as Senior Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series ECIP.

NOTE 17 - 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. Non-recognized 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 accrual or disclosure.

•

changes in general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas;

•

changes in the levels of general interest rates, and the relative differences between short and long term interest rates, deposit interest rates, our net interest margin and funding sources;

the impact of bank failures or adverse developments at other banks and related negative press about the banking industry in general on investor and depositor sentiment;

•

results of examinations of the Federal Reserve and the Bank by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and the South Carolina State Board of Financial Institutions, or other regulatory authorities, including the possibility that any such regulatory authority may, among other things, require us to increase our reserve for credit losses, write-down assets, change our regulatory capital position or affect our ability to borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits, or impose additional requirements or restrictions on us, any of which could adversely affect our liquidity and earnings;

•

legislative or regulatory changes that adversely affect our business, including changes in banking, securities and tax law, and in regulatory policies and principles, or the interpretation of regulatory capital or other rules;

•

our ability to attract and retain deposits;

Financial Condition at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022

Assets - Total assets increased $90.9 million to $1.5 billion at June 30, 2023 from $1.4 billion at December 31, 2022. This increase was primarily due to increases in cash and cash equivalents, investments held to maturity ("HTM") and loans receivable, net, which were partially offset by a decrease in investments available for sale ("AFS"). Changes in total assets are shown below.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $48.7 million or 170.8% to $77.2 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $28.5 million at December 31, 2022, as a result of increased deposits and borrowings during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Investments HTM increased $9.2 million to $176.6 million at June 30, 2023 from $167.4 million at December 31, 2022 as a result of purchases exceeding paydowns and maturities during the six months ended June 30, 2023. Investments AFS decreased $8.2 million or 1.5% to $542.0 million at June 30, 2023 from $550.1 million at December 31, 2022 as maturities and principal paydowns of investments AFS exceeded purchases during the six months ended June 30, 2023. Investments AFS experienced a $1.0 million increase in fair value during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Total loans receivable, net, which includes loans held for sale, increased $39.7 million or 7.2% to $589.7 million at June 30, 2023 from $549.9 million at December 31, 2022, primarily due to an increase in residential mortgage, commercial real estate, commercial and agricultural loans originated during the period. All held for investment loan balances increased during the six months ended June 30, 2023 with the exception of construction loans, which decreased $8.5 million or 7.6% to $104.3 million at June 30, 2023 from $112.8 million at December 31, 2022.

Liabilities

Deposit Accounts

Total deposits increased $69.4 million or 6.3% to $1.18 billion at June 30, 2023 from December 31, 2022 primarily due to increases in higher cost certificates of deposit and money market accounts, partially offset by decreases in checking and savings accounts. The majority of the Bank’s deposits are originated within the Bank’s immediate market area. The Bank had $12.5 million and $6.0 million in brokered time deposits at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Bank uses brokered time deposits to manage interest rate risk because they are accessible in bulk at rates typically only slightly higher than those in our market areas. 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. In addition, the Bank had $5.0 million in other brokered deposits at both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. At June 30, 2023, the Bank had one deposit relationship totaling approximately 5.2% of outstanding deposits. At December 31, 2022, the Bank had no deposit relationships greater than 5% of outstanding deposits. At June 30, 2023, approximately $326.6 million of our $1.18 billion deposit portfolio was uninsured. The uninsured amounts are estimates based on the methodologies and assumptions used for the Bank’s regulatory reporting requirements. For additional details of deposits, see “Note 9 – Deposits” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I. Item 1 of this report.

Borrowings

The Bank had $69.2 million in borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta (“FRB”) at June 30, 2023, compared to $44.1 million at December 31, 2022. During the first quarter of 2023, the Bank elected to participate in the Federal Reserve's Bank Term Funding Program (“BTFP”), allowing the Bank to refinance its existing FRB borrowings. The Bank also had $17.9 million in other borrowings at June 30, 2023, compared to $27.6 million and December 31, 2022, which consisted of short-term repurchase agreements with certain commercial demand deposit customers for sweep accounts. For additional information, see “Note 10 – Borrowings” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I. Item 1 of this report.

At both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $5.2 million in junior subordinated debentures and $26.5 million in subordinated debentures outstanding, which are described in more detail in “Note 11 - Subordinated Debentures” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I. Item 1 of this report.

Shareholders’ Equity

Shareholders’ equity increased $3.1 million or 1.9% to $163.3 million at June 30, 2023 from $160.2 million at December 31, 2022. The increase was attributable to year to date net income of $4.5 million combined with a $1.0 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax. The decrease in net accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, was related to the unrecognized gain in fair value of investments AFS during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increases in shareholders' equity were partially offset by a $1.6 million adjustment to retained earnings related to the adoption of ASC 326 on January 1, 2023 and $846,000 in dividends paid to common shareholders during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

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

Results of Operations for the Quarters Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

Net Income

Net income decreased $386,000, or 17.8%, to $1.8 million or $0.55 per basic common share for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared to $2.2 million or $0.67 per basic common share for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in net income was the result of increases in the provision for credit losses and non-interest expense combined with lower non-interest income, partially offset by an increase in net interest income as a result of increased market interest rates and, to a lesser extent, higher average balances of investments and loans receivable, net. Since March 2022, in response to inflation, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FMOC”) of the Federal Reserve has increased the target range for the federal funds rate by 500 basis points, including 25 basis points during the second quarter of 2023, to a range of 5.00% to 5.25% as of June 30, 2023. Subsequent to June 30, 2023, the FOMC raised the target range for the federal funds rate by an additional 25 basis points. As it continues to seek to control inflation without creating a recession, the FOMC has indicated further increases may be implemented during calendar 2023.

Net Interest Income

The following table compares detailed average balances, average yields on interest-earning assets, average costs of interest-bearing liabilities and the resulting changes in interest income and expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The average balances were derived from the daily balances throughout the periods indicated. The average yields or costs were calculated by dividing the income or expense by the average balance of the corresponding assets or liabilities. Nonaccrual loans are included in earning assets in the following table. Loan yields have been reduced to reflect the negative impact on our earnings of loans on nonaccrual status. Interest income from non-taxable investments is calculated on a tax equivalent basis, which recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and was calculated using the effective tax rate for the quarters ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Net interest income increased $581,000 or 6.8% to $9.1 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to $8.5 million for the same quarter in 2022. During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, average interest-earning assets increased $64.6 million or 5.0% to $1.35 billion from $1.28 billion for the same quarter in 2022, while average interest-bearing liabilities increased $74.7 million or 8.0% to $1.0 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 from $929.5 million for the comparable quarter in 2022. The Company's net interest margin was 2.72% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared to 2.60% for the comparable quarter in 2022. The Company's net interest spread on a tax equivalent basis was 2.06% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared to 2.58% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Interest Income

Total tax-equivalent interest income increased $6.1 million or 65.0% to $15.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared to $9.4 million for the same period in 2022.

Interest income on loans increased $1.9 million or 30.1% to $8.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 from $6.2 million for the second quarter of 2022. The increase in loan interest income was the result of a $78.6 million increase in the average loan portfolio balance combined with a 62 basis point increase in the average yield on loans receivable AS ADJUSTABLE-RATE LOAns reset and new loans were originated at higher market interest rates.

Interest income from taxable investments increased $4.0 million or 140.2% to $6.9 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 from $2.9 million for the second quarter of 2022, due to a $8.5 million increase in the average balance of taxable investments combined with a 229 basis point increase in the average yield to 3.96%, reflecting higher market interest rates. Tax equivalent interest income from non-taxable investments decreased $146,000 to $187,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 due to a $23.9 million decrease in the average balance of non-taxable investments.

Interest income from deposits with other banks increased $413,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 to $467,000, due to a $1.4 million increase in the average balance of these assets combined with a significant increase in the average yield earned on these assets due to increased market interest rates.

Interest Expense

Total interest expense increased $5.6 million or 661.9% to $6.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared to $844,000 for the same quarter in 2022 due to an increase in market interest rates combined with a $74.7 million increase in the average balance of these liabilities.

Interest expense on deposits increased $4.8 million to $5.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 from $398,000 for the second quarter of 2022, due to an increase of 219 basis points in the average cost combined with a $22.4 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposit accounts. Interest expense on FRB and other borrowings increased $805,000 during the quarter due to a $55.8 million increase in the average balance of these liabilities combined with an increase of 340 basis points in the average cost of these liabilities. Interest expense on the junior subordinated debentures increased due to increased floating interest rates reflecting higher market interest rates.

Provision for Credit Losses

The amount of the provision and the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses for loans and unfunded commitments is determined by management’s on-going monthly analysis. 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 credit losses is reviewed monthly by the Asset Classification Committee and quarterly by the Board of Directors. Management’s 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. The Company calculates the allowance for credit losses for each loan pool using a remaining life loss methodology with a two quarter reasonable and supportable forecast period and an immediate reversion period. Management believes that the Company’s historical loss experience provides the best basis for its assessment of expected credit losses to determine the allowance for credit losses on loans. The Company uses its own internal data to measure historical credit loss experience within the loan pools with similar risk characteristics over an economic cycle. The Company then forecasts the calculated historical loss rates over the calculated remaining life of loans by pool. The second component of management’s monthly analysis is the specific review and evaluation of significant individually evaluated collateral dependent loans identified through the Company’s internal monitoring system. These loans do not share common risk characteristics and are not included within the collectively evaluated loans for determining the allowance for credit losses. Under CECL, for collateral dependent loans, the Company has adopted the practical expedient to measure the allowance for credit losses based on the fair value of collateral. The allowance for credit losses on loans is calculated on an individual loan basis based on the shortfall between the fair value of the loan's collateral, which is adjusted for liquidation costs/discounts, and amortized cost. If the fair value of the collateral exceeds the amortized cost, no allowance is required. 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 credit 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.

In addition, management performs a quarterly analysis of the Company's investment securities classified as available for sale and held to maturity.

The estimate of expected credit losses on held to maturity debt securities is primarily based on the ratings assigned to the securities by debt rating agencies and the average of the annual historical loss rates associated with those ratings. The Company then multiplies those loss rates, as adjusted for any modifications to reflect current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts as considered necessary, by the remaining lives of each individual security to arrive at a lifetime expected loss amount. Additionally, private label collateralized mortgage obligation ("CMO") securities which are not explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government are evaluated utilizing underlying pool data such as historical loss rates, loan-to-value ratios and credit enhancement data.

All mortgage-backed held to maturity securities issued by government-sponsored corporations are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly rated by major rating agencies and have a long history of no credit losses. The state and local governments securities held by the Company are highly rated by major rating agencies.

For available for sale securities, management evaluates all investments in an unrealized loss position on a quarterly basis. If the Company has the intent to sell the security or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security, the security is written down to fair value and the entire loss is recorded in earnings.

If either of the above criteria are not met, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value is the result of credit losses or other factors. In making the assessment, the Company may consider various factors including the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, performance on any underlying collateral, downgrades in the ratings of the security by a rating agency, the failure of the issuer to make scheduled interest or principal payments and adverse conditions specifically related to the security. If the assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security and any excess is recorded as an allowance for credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any amount of unrealized loss that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit loss is recognized in other comprehensive income.

Based on the foregoing, the Company recorded a $221,000 provision for credit losses under the CECL methodology during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared to no provision for loan losses under the Incurred Loss methodology during the quarter ended June 30, 2022. For additional information of the changes in the allowance for credit losses, see “Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies", "Note 6 - Investments, Available for Sale", "Note 7 - Investments, Held to Maturity, and “Note 8 - Loans Receivable" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income decreased $386,000 or 14.7% to $2.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared to $2.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a $310,000 decrease in gain on sale of loans reflecting the decline in originations of loans held for sale following recent market interest rate increases. In addition, there was no grant income recorded during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared to $171,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. For additional details of the changes in non-interest income, see “Note 14 - Non-Interest Income” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I. Item 1 of this report.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense increased $480,000 or 5.7% to $8.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared to $8.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The following table summarizes the changes in non-interest expense:

	Quarter Ended June 30,				Increase (Decrease)

Write down of Land Held for Sale		—		93,733		(93,733	)		(100.0	)%
Consulting		142,396		169,231		(26,835	)		(15.9	)%
Debit Card Expense		352,287		326,344		25,943			7.9	%

Other		1,223,613		1,012,303		211,310			20.9	%
Total Non-Interest Expense	$	8,908,643	$	8,428,549	$	480,094			5.7	%

The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to increases in compensation and employee benefits, occupancy, FDIC insurance premiums, data processing expenses and other non-interest expenses during the second quarter of 2023, which were partially offset by a decrease in write-down of land held for sale.

Compensation and employee benefits increased $119,000 or 2.4% to $5.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 when compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2022 due to general annual cost of living increases, an increase in the number of full time equivalent employees as a result of our newest branch added in 2023 and the overall growth of the Company. Occupancy and other non-interest expenses also increased during the second quarter of 2023 due to increased operations and the addition of our newest branch located in Augusta, Georgia.

FDIC insurance premiums increased $133,000 or 158.4% to $218,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 COMPARED TO THE SAME PERIOD IN 2022 due to increased insurance rates applied in 2023 compared to 2022.

Provision For Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes decreased $121,000 or 20.6% to $468,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 from $589,000 for the same period in 2022 due to lower net income before taxes in 2023. Pre-tax net income was $2.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared to $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2022. The Company’s combined federal and state effective income tax rate was 20.8% and 21.4% for the quarters ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The increase in net income was primarily due to an increase in net interest income as a result of increased market interest rates and, to a lesser extent, higher average balances of investments and loans receivable, net.

Net Interest Income

The following table compares detailed average balances, average yields on interest-earning assets, average costs of interest-bearing liabilities and the resulting changes in interest income and expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The average balances were derived from the daily balances throughout the periods indicated. The average yields or costs were calculated by dividing the income or expense by the average balance of the corresponding assets or liabilities. Nonaccrual loans are included in earning assets in the following table. Loan yields have been reduced to reflect the negative impact on our earnings of loans on nonaccrual status. Interest income from non-taxable investments is calculated on a tax equivalent basis, which recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and was calculated using the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

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

Net interest income increased $2.9 million or 17.7% to $19.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $16.4 million for the same period in 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, average interest-earning assets increased $65.2 million or 5.2% to $1.32 billion from $1.26 billion for the same period in 2022, while average interest-bearing liabilities increased $39.9 million or 4.3% to $974.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $934.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company's net interest margin was 2.94% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 2.60% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company's net interest spread on a tax equivalent basis was 2.39% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 2.55% for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Interest Income

Total tax-equivalent interest income increased $11.6 million or 63.9% to $29.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $18.2 million for the same period in 2022.

Interest income on loans increased $3.2 million or 25.8% to $15.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $12.3 million for the first six months of 2022. The increase in loan interest income was the result of a $66.3 million increase in the average loan portfolio balance combined with a 55 basis point increase in the average yield on loans receivable AS ADJUSTABLE-RATE LOANS RESET AND NEW LOANS WERE ORIGINATED AT HIGHER MARKET INTEREST RATES.

Interest income from taxable investments increased $8.4 million or 166.2% to $13.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $5.1 million for the first six months of 2022, due to a $23.0 million increase in the average balance of taxable investments combined with a 237 basis point increase in the average yield to 3.87%, REFLECTING HIGHER MARKET INTEREST RATES. Tax equivalent interest income from non-taxable investments decreased $397,000 to $384,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2023 due to a decrease in the average balance of non-taxable investments.

Interest income from deposits with other banks increased $445,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $502,000 due to a significant increase in the average yield earned on these assets due to increased market interest rates.

Interest Expense

Total interest expense increased $8.8 million or 534.9% to $10.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $1.6 million for the same period in 2022 due to an increase in market interest rates combined with a $39.9 million increase in the average balance of these liabilities.

Interest expense on deposits increased $7.3 million to $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $743,000 for the first six months of 2022, due to an increase of 172 basis points in the average cost combined with a $1.3 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposit accounts. Interest expense on FRB and other borrowings increased $1.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 due to a $42.1 million increase in the average balance of these liabilities combined with an increase of 321 basis points in the average cost of these liabilities. Interest expense on the junior subordinated debentures increased due to increased floating interest rates reflecting higher market interest rates.

Provision for Credit Losses

The Company recorded a $221,000 provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and no provision for credit losses of the six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company adopted the CECL methodology effective January 1, 2023. The transition adjustment of the adoption of CECL included an increase in the allowance for credit losses on loans of $784,000, which is presented as a reduction to net loans outstanding, and an increase in the allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments of $1.2 million, which is recorded within "Other Liabilities." The adoption of CECL had an insignificant impact on the Company's HTM and AFS securities portfolios. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented under the CECL methodology while prior period amounts continue to be reported under the Incurred Loss methodology. For additional information on the provision and the allowance for credit losses, see “Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" and “Note 8 - Loans Receivable" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I. Item 1 of this report.

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 credit 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 credit losses is reviewed monthly by the Asset Classification Committee and quarterly by the Board of Directors. Management’s review of the adequacy of the allowance includes three main components.

Table of Contents

SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

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

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. The Company calculates the allowance for credit losses for each pool using a remaining life loss methodology with a two quarter reasonable and supportable forecast period and an immediate reversion period. Management believes that the Company’s historical loss experience provides the best basis for its assessment of expected credit losses to determine the allowance for credit losses. The Company uses its own internal data to measure historical credit loss experience within the pools with similar risk characteristics over an economic cycle. The Company then forecasts the calculated historical loss rates over the calculated remaining life of loans by pool. The second component of management’s monthly analysis is the specific review and evaluation of significant individually evaluated collateral dependent loans identified through the Company’s internal monitoring system. These loans do not share common risk characteristics and are not included within the collectively evaluated loans for determining the allowance for credit losses. Under CECL, for collateral dependent loans, the Company has adopted the practical expedient to measure the allowance for credit losses based on the fair value of collateral. The allowance for credit losses is calculated on an individual loan basis based on the shortfall between the fair value of the loan's collateral, which is adjusted for liquidation costs/discounts, and amortized cost. If the fair value of the collateral exceeds the amortized cost, no allowance is required. 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.

Based on the foregoing, the Company recorded $221,000 and $0 in provisions for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For additional details of the changes in the allowance for credit losses, see “Note 8 - Loans Receivable" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I. Item 1 of this report.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income decreased $789,000 or 15.1% to $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a $830,000 decrease in gain on sale of loans reflecting the decline in originations of loans held for sale following recent market interest rate increases. In addition, there was no grant income recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $171,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. These decreases were partially offset by increases in trust income and ATM and check card fee income. ATM and check card fee income increased $130,000 or 9.2% to $1.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, due to a new interchange service provider that pays the Bank more fees per transaction. For additional details of the changes in non-interest income, see “Note 14 - Non-Interest Income” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I. Item 1 of this report.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense increased $916,000 or 5.4% to $17.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $17.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The following table summarizes the changes in non-interest expense:

	Six Months Ended June 30,				Increase (Decrease)
	2023		2022		$			%
Compensation and Employee Benefits	$	10,264,885	$	9,961,226	$	303,659			3.0	%
Occupancy		1,579,156		1,407,436		171,720			12.2	%
Advertising		506,396		539,929		(33,533	)		(6.2	)%
Depreciation and Maintenance of Equipment		1,186,347		1,138,537		47,810			4.2	%
FDIC Insurance Premiums		307,809		196,225		111,584			56.9	%
Write down of Land Held for Sale		—		433,077		(433,077	)		(100.0	)%
Consulting		355,731		333,981		21,750			6.5	%
Debit Card Expense		688,933		610,133		78,800			12.9	%
Data Processing		628,077		513,078		114,999			22.4	%
Other		2,421,897		1,889,771		532,126			28.2	%
Total Non-Interest Expense	$	17,939,231	$	17,023,393	$	915,838			5.4	%

The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to increases in compensation and employee benefits, occupancy expense and other non-interest expenses during the first six months of 2023, which were partially offset by a decrease in writedowns of land held for sale.

Compensation and employee benefits increased $304,000 or 3.0% to $10.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to general annual cost of living increases, an increase in the number of full time equivalent employees as a result of our newest branch added in 2023 and the overall growth of the Company. Occupancy and other non-interest expenses also increased during the first six months of 2023 due to increased operations and the addition of our newest branch located in Augusta, Georgia.

FDIC insurance premiums increased $112,000 or 56.9% to $308,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, due to increased insurance rates applied in 2023 compared to 2022.

Provision For Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes increased $253,000 or 26.5% to $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $954,000 for the same period in 2022 due to higher net income before taxes in 2023. Pre-tax net income was $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $4.7 million for the first six months of 2022. The Company’s combined federal and state effective income tax rate was 21.3% and 20.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

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

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

We actively analyze and manage 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 Bank's primary sources of funds include deposits, scheduled loan and investment securities repayments, including interest payments, maturities and sales of loans and investment securities, advances from the FRB, and cash flow generated from operations. 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. The Bank had $176.1 million in unused commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit at June 30, 2023.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, loan disbursements exceeded loan repayments resulting in a $39.7 million or 7.2% increase in total net loans receivable. Also during the six months ended June 30, 2023, deposits increased $69.4 million or 6.3%. The Bank had no outstanding FHLB advances at June 30, 2023 with $389.8 million in additional borrowing capacity at the FHLB at that date. The Bank had $69.2 million of outstanding borrowings from the BTFP at June 30, 2023, which was collateralized by investments with a fair market value of $149.7 million at that date. The Bank also had a $50.0 million unused Fed Funds facility with Pacific Coast Bankers Bank at June 30, 2023. Subject to market conditions, we expect to utilize these borrowing facilities from time to time in the future to fund loan originations and deposit withdrawals, to satisfy other financial commitments, repay maturing debt and to take advantage of investment opportunities to the extent feasible.

The Bank's liquid assets in the form of cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposits with other banks and investment AFS totaled $618.7 million at June 30, 2023. Certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature in less than one year from June 30, 2023 totaled $179.5 million. Historically, the Bank has been able to retain a significant amount of its deposits as they mature.

Security Federal is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity. At June 30, 2023, Security Federal had liquid assets of $26.5 million. In addition to its operating expenses, Security Federal is responsible for paying any dividends declared, if any, to its shareholders, funds paid for Security Federal stock repurchases, and payments on trust-preferred securities and subordinated debentures held at the Company level. Security Federal's main source of funds are dividends or capital distributions from the Bank, although there are regulatory restrictions on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends. We currently expect to continue our current practice of paying quarterly cash dividends on our common stock subject to our Board of Directors’ discretion to modify or terminate this practice at any time and for any reason without prior notice. Our current quarterly common stock dividend rate is $0.13 per share which we believe is a dividend rate per share which enables us to balance our multiple objectives of managing and investing in the Bank, and returning a substantial portion of our cash to our shareholders. Assuming continued payment during 2023 at this rate of $0.13 per share, our average total dividend paid each quarter would be approximately $423,000 based on the number of outstanding shares at June 30, 2023.

At June 30, 2023, 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 17.7%, 10.1%, 17.7%, and 19.0%, 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 June 30, 2023 the Bank’s conservation buffer was 11.0%. For additional details, see “Note 12 - Regulatory Matters” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I. Item 1 of this report.

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’s profitability 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. There were no material changes in information concerning market risk from the information provided in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Bank's interest rate spread, defined as the average yield on interest-earning assets less the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, was 2.38%.

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 June 30, 2023 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.

(b)

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting: There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 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.
