SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



1. Basis of Presentation

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”) 20202021 Annual Report to Shareholders which was filed as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20202021 (“20202021 10-K”) when reviewing interim financial statements. The unaudited consolidated results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 20212022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 20212022 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.

2. Principles of Consolidation

NOTE 2 - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Security Federal Bank (the “Bank”) and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Security Federal Investments, Inc. ("SFINV"), Security Federal Insurance, Inc. (“SFINS”), Security Federal Investments, Inc. ("SFINV") and Security Financial Services Corporation (“SFSC”). SFINV was formed to hold investment securities and allow for better management of the securities portfolio. SFINS is an insurance agency offering auto, business, health and home insurance.  SFINS hasEffective April 30, 2022, Collier Jennings Financial Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary Collier Jennings Financial Corporation, which has asof SFINS, and its subsidiaries, Security Federal Auto Insurance, The Auto Insurance Store Inc., and Security Federal Premium Pay Plans Inc. and its wholly owned premium finance subsidiary were dissolved. Security Federal Premium Pay Plans Inc. has one wholly owned premium finance subsidiary and also has an’s ownership interestinterests in four other premium finance subsidiaries. SFINVsubsidiaries were disposed of at an immaterial gain. Additionally, effective April 30, 2022, previously inactive SFSC was formed to hold investment securities and allow for better management of the securities portfolio. SFSC is currently inactive.dissolved. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

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

3. Critical Accounting Policies

NOTE 3 - CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company has adopted various accounting policies, which govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States in the preparation of our financial statements. Our significant accounting policies are described in the footnotes to the audited consolidated financial statements at December 31, 20202021 included in our 20202021 Annual Report to Shareholders. Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by management, which have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities, and, as such, have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. We consider these accounting policies to be critical accounting policies.  The judgments and assumptions we use are based on historical experience and other factors, which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions we make, actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates which could have a material impact on our carrying values of assets and liabilities and our results of operations.

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

While management uses the best information available to make evaluations, future adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making these evaluations.  The allowance for loan losses is subject to periodic evaluations by our bank regulatory agencies, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve"), the FDIC and the South Carolina Board of Financial Institutions, which may require adjustments to be made to the allowance based upon the information that is available at the time of their examination.

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

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

4. Earnings Per ShareNOTE 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 September 30, 20212022 or 2020;2021; 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 2020.2021.

5. Stock-Based CompensationNOTE 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 September 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, the Company had no options outstanding and there was no activity during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 2020.2021. At those dates, there were 50,000 options available for grants.

Securities classified as available for saleAFS are recorded at fair market value.  At September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020, 22.7%2021, 443 and 37.0% of the unrealized losses, representing 71 and 88199 individual AFS securities respectively, consisted of securitieswere in a continuousloss position, including 140 and 83 securities that were in a loss position for greater than 12 months, or more.respectively. The Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities until such time as the value recovers or the securities mature.  The increase in unrealized losses within the AFS portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 resulted in a $14.9 million increase in net deferred taxes, which is included in "Other Assets" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2022.

The Company believes, based on industry analyst reports and credit ratings, that the deterioration in value is attributable to changes in market interest rates and is not in the credit quality of the issuer and therefore, these losses are not considered other-than-temporary. The Company reviews its investment securities portfolio at least quarterly and more frequently when economic conditions warrant, assessing whether there is any indication of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”).
Additional deteriorationA further decline in marketnational and local economic conditions, relatedas a result of the effects of inflation, a inflation, a potential recession or slowed economic growth, and any governmental or societal responses to the novel coronavirus of 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic, among other factors, may, however, have an adverse impact on credit quality in the future and result in OTTI charges. Factors considered in the review include estimated future cash flows, length of time and extent to which market value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and our intent and ability to retain the security to allow for an anticipated recovery in market value. If the review determines that there is OTTI, an impairment loss is recognized in earnings equal to the difference between the investment’s cost and its fair value at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment is made, or the Company may recognize a portion in other comprehensive income. The fair value of investments on which OTTI is recognized then becomes the new cost basis of the investment. There was no OTTI recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and the year ended December 31, 2020.

During the year ended December 31, 2020,first nine months of 2022, the Bank participatedCompany continued its participation in the initial SBAU.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), a guaranteed unsecuredby processing applications for PPP loan program enacted under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act of 2020 (“CARES Act”) signed into law on March 27, 2020 to provide near-term relief to help small businesses impacted by COVID-19 sustain operations.forgiveness. PPP loans are fully guaranteed byincluded in Commercial and Agricultural loans in the SBA. Loan originations under the initial PPP ended in August 2020. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (“CAA 2021”) enacted on December 27, 2020, renewedtables above and extended the PPP until May 31, 2021. Asbelow and had a result, in January 2021, the Bank began accepting and processing loan applications under this second PPP.
Astotal balance of $55,000 at September 30, 2021, the Bank had originated nearly 2,800 PPP loans2022 compared to new and existing customers, totaling approximately $127.6 million. The Bank earns 1% interest on PPP loans as well as a fee from the SBA to cover processing costs, which is amortized over the life of the loan. The maturity date of a PPP loan is either two or five years from the date of loan origination. As of September 30, 2021, we have recognized $4.5$9.8 million in PPP loans fees, including $3.3 million recognized in the nine months ended September 30,at December 31, 2021. The balance of unamortized net deferred fees on PPP loans was $1.8 million$8,000 at September 30, 20212022 compared to $1.4 million$441,000 at December 31, 2020. The Bank expects that the great majority of PPP borrowers will seek full or partial forgiveness of their loan obligations in accordance with the CARES Act. Because the SBA guarantees 100% of the PPP loans made to eligible borrowers, and the entire principal amount of these loans, including any accrued interest, is eligible to be forgiven and repaid by the SBA, PPP loans are excluded from our allowance for loan losses calculation. There were 696 PPP loans totaling $32.1 million in our loan portfolio at September 30, 2021.
The Company uses a risk based approach based on the following credit quality measures when analyzing the loan portfolio: pass, caution, special mention, and substandard. These indicators are used to rate the credit quality of loans for the purposes of determining the Company’s allowance for loan losses. Pass loans are loans that are performing and are deemed adequately protected by the net worth of the borrower or the underlying collateral value. These loans are considered to have the least amount of risk in terms of determining the allowance for loan losses. Loans that are graded as substandard are considered to have the most risk. These loans typically have an identified weakness or weaknesses and are inadequately protected by the net worth of the borrower or collateral value. All loans 90 days or more past due are automatically classified in this category. The caution and special mention categories fall in between the pass and substandard grades and consist of loans that do not currently expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification but possess weaknesses.
The tables below summarize the balance within each risk category by loan type, excluding loans held for sale, at September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020.2021.

Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Non-accrual commercial loans under $200,000 and non-accrual consumer loans under $100,000 are considered immaterial and are excluded from the impairment review. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures the impairment and records the loan at fair value. Fair value is estimated using one of the following methods: fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell, discounted cash flows, or market value of the loan based on similar debt. The fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell is the most frequently used method.

The following tables present information related to impaired loans by loan category at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Typically, the Company reviews the most recent appraisal and, if it is over 24 months old, will request a new third party appraisal. Depending on the particular circumstances surrounding the loan, including the location of the collateral, the date of the most recent appraisal and the value of the collateral relative to the recorded investment in the loan, management may order an independent appraisal immediately or, in some instances, may elect to perform an internal analysis. The average balance of impaired loans was $2.5 million and $2.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared to $3.3 million and $3.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.

Loan Modifications
In the course of resolving delinquent loans, the Company may choose to restructure the contractual terms of certain loans. A troubled debt restructuring ("TDR") is a restructuring in which the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to a borrower that it would not otherwise consider (Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)(FASB ASC Topic 310-40).  The concessions granted on TDRs generally include terms to reduce the interest rate, extend the term of the debt obligation, or modify the payment structure on the debt obligation. The Company grants such concessions to reassess the borrower’s financial status and develop a plan for repayment.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements




At the date of modification, TDRs are initially classified as nonaccrual TDRs. TDR loansThey are returned to accruing status when there is economic substance to the restructuring, there is documented credit evaluation of the borrower's financial condition, the remaining balance is reasonably assured of repayment in accordance with its modified terms, and the borrower has demonstrated sustained repayment performance in accordance with the modified terms for a reasonable period of time (generally a minimum of six months).

The Company had three TDRs with a combined balance of $394,000 included in impaired loans at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 had2022 compared to three TDRs with a combined balance of $707,000 and $315,000, respectively, and$694,000 at December 31, 2021. There were no loans restructured as TDRs during the Company had no commitments at these dates to lend additional funds on these loans. There was one new TDR modified duringnine months ended September 30, 2022 or the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and no TDRs were in default at that date. There were no new TDRs modified during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and no TDRs in default at that date.those dates. The BankCompany considers any loan 30 days or more past due to be in default. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no commitments to extend additional credit to borrowers whose loan terms have been modified in a TDR. All TDRs are also classified as impaired loans and are included in the loans individually evaluated for impairment.

Our policy with respect to accrual of interest on loans restructured as a TDR follows relevant supervisory guidance.  That is, if a borrower has demonstrated performance under the previous loan terms and shows capacity to perform under the restructured loan terms, continued accrual of interest at the restructured interest rate is probable.  If a borrower was materially delinquent on payments prior to the restructuring but shows capacity to meet the restructured loan terms, the loan will likely continue as nonaccrual going forward.  Lastly, if the borrower does not perform under the restructured terms, the loan is placed on nonaccrual status.
We
The Company will continue to closely monitor these loans and will cease accruing interest on them if management believes that the borrowers may not continue performing based on the restructured note terms.  If, after previously being classified as a TDR, a loan is restructured a second time, then that loan is automatically placed on nonaccrual status.  The Company'sBank's policy with respect

to nonperforming loans requires the borrower to become current and then make a minimum of 6six consecutive payments in accordance with the modified loan terms before that loan can be placed back on accrual status.  Further, the borrower must demonstrate theshow capacity to continue making payments onperforming into the loanfuture prior to restoration of accrual status.

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 4.99% at September 30, 2022 compared to 1.90% at December 31, 2021. The distribution rate payable on the Capital Securities is cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears. The Capital Securities mature or are mandatorily redeemable upon maturity on December 15, 2036, or upon earlier optional redemption as provided in the indenture. The Company has the right to redeem the Capital Securities in whole or in part.

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.
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 modification of loans10-Year Notes, and November 22, 2029, with respect to borrowers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

On April 7, 2020,During the federal banking regulators issued a revised interagency statement on loan modifications and the reporting for financial institutions working with customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic ("Interagency Statement"). The Interagency Statement confirmed that COVID-19 related short-term loan modifications (e.g., payment deferrals of six months or less) provided to borrowers that were current (less than 30 days past due) at the time the relief was granted are not TDR loans. Borrowers that do not meet the criteria in the CARES Act or the Interagency Statement are assessed for TDR loan classification in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies. All loans modified due to COVID-19 are separately monitored and any request for continuation of relief beyond the initial modification will be reassessed at that time to determine if a further modification should be granted and if a downgrade in risk rating is appropriate. Loan modifications in accordance with the CARES Act and related banking agency regulatory guidance are still subject to an evaluation in regards to determining whether or not a loan is deemed to be impaired. As ofquarter ended September 30, 2021, there were no loans still on deferral. At December 31, 2020, there were eight loans on deferral with a combined2022 the Company repurchased $1.0 million in principal of the 10-Year Notes, leaving an aggregate remaining principal balance of $3.0$16.5 million.

The Bank, as a state-chartered, federally insured savings bank, is subject to the capital requirements established by the FDIC. Under the FDIC's capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weighting and other factors.
The Company is a bank holding company registered with the Federal Reserve. Bank holding companies are subject to capital adequacy requirements of the Federal Reserve under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and the regulations of the Federal Reserve. For a bank holding company with less than $3.0 billion in assets, the capital guidelines apply on a bank only basis and the Federal Reserve expects the holding company's subsidiary banks to be well-capitalized under the prompt corrective action regulations. If Security Federal Corporation was subject to regulatory guidelines for bank holding companies with $3.0 billion or more in assets, it would have exceeded all regulatory capital requirements with Common Equity Tier 1 ("CET1") capital, Tier 1 leverage-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based capital ratios of 16.6%, 9.0%, 16.6% and 22.5%, respectively, at September 30, 2021.
Based on its capital levels at September 30, 2021,2022, 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 September 30, 2021,2022, 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 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 September 30, 20212022, the Bank’s conservation buffer was 12.1%was 11.1%.

10. Carrying Amounts and Fair Value of Financial InstrumentsNOTE 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 Available for SaleAFS
Investment securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. At September 30, 2021,2022, the Company’s investment portfolio was comprised of student loan pools, government and agency bonds, mortgage-backed securitiesMBS issued by government agencies or GSEs, private label CMO mortgage-backed securitiesMBS 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
10. Carrying Amounts andLand held for sale is reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Fair Valuevalue is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of Financial Instruments, Continuedthe 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.

Impaired Loans
The Company does not record loans held for investmentLoans that are considered impaired are recorded at fair value on a recurringnonrecurring basis. However, from time to time,Once a loan is considered impaired, and an allowance for loan losses is established as necessary. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as impaired, management measures the impairment by determining the fair value of the collateral for the loan.

Fair value is estimatedmeasured using one of the following methods:several methods, including fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell, discounted cash flows, or market value of the loan based on similar debt. The fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell is the most frequently used method. Typically, the Company reviews the most recent appraisal and if it is over 24 months old will request a new third party appraisal. Depending on the particular circumstances surrounding the loan, including the location of the collateral, the date of the most recent appraisal and the value of the collateral relative to the recorded investment in the loan, management may order an independent appraisal immediately or, in some instances, may elect to perform an internal analysis. Specifically as an example, in situations where the collateral on a nonperforming commercial real estate loan is out of the Company’s primary market area, management would typically order an independent appraisal immediately, at the earlier of the date the loan becomes nonperforming or immediately following the determination that the loan is impaired. However, as a second example, on a nonperforming commercial real estate loan where management is familiar with the property and surrounding areas and where the original appraisal value far exceeds the recorded investment in the loan, management may perform an internal analysis whereby the previous appraisal value would be reviewed and adjusted for current conditions including recent sales of similar properties in the area and any other relevant economic trends. These valuations are reviewed at a minimum on a quarterly basis.

Those impaired loans not requiring ana specific charge against the allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral meet or exceed the recorded investmentsinvestment in such loans. At September 30, 2021, ourthe loan. Loans which are deemed to be impaired loans were generally evaluated basedare primarily valued on a nonrecurring basis at the fair value of the underlying real estate collateral. Impaired loans where an allowance is establishedSuch fair values are obtained using independent appraisals, which the Company considers to be Level 3 inputs.

Other Real Estate Owned
Fair value adjustments to OREO are recorded at the lower of carrying amount of the loan or fair value of the collateral less selling costs. Any write-downs based on the asset’s fair value at the date of collateral require classification inacquisition are charged to the fair value hierarchy. The Company records impaired loans as nonrecurring Level 3. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020,allowance for loan losses. After foreclosure, management periodically performs valuations such that the recorded investment in impaired loans was $2.5 million and $2.2 million, respectively.

Foreclosed Assets
Foreclosed assets are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to foreclosed assets. Subsequently, foreclosed assets arereal estate is carried at the lower of carrying valueits new cost basis or fair value. Fair value, is based upon independent market prices, appraised valuesnet of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral.estimated costs to sell.

For assets and liabilities not presented on the balance sheet at fair value, the following methods are used to determine fair value:
Cash and Cash Equivalents—The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value. All mature within 90 days and do not present unanticipated credit concerns.
Certificates of Deposit with Other Banks—Fair value is based on market prices for similar assets.
Investment Securities Held to MaturityHTMSecuritiesInvestment 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. The Company’s loan portfolio is initially fair valued using a segmented approach. The Company divides its loan portfolio into the following categories: commercial real estate, other commercial, residential real estate, consumer and all other loans. The results are then adjusted to account for credit risk as described above.

10. Carrying Amounts and Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Continued
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 September 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.
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.

Att September 30, 2021,2022, the Bank had $175.5$173.0 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 principalprincipal amount is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value. Fair value estimates are made on a specific date, based on relevant market data and information about the financial instrument.  These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale the Bank’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument.
Because no active market exists for a significant portion of the Bank’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, current interest rates and prepayment trends, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors.  These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in any of these assumptions used in calculating fair value would also significantly affect the estimates. Fair value estimates are based on existing on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments.  For example, the Bank has significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial assets or liabilities including deposit franchise values, loan servicing portfolios, deferred tax liabilities, and premises and equipment.
In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of these estimates. The Company has used management’s best estimate of fair value on the above assumptions.  Thus, the fair values presented may not be the amounts, which could be realized, in an immediate sale or settlement of the instrument.  In addition, any income taxes or other expenses that would be incurred in an actual sale or settlement are not taken into consideration in the fair value presented.

11. Accounting and Reporting ChangesNOTE 14 - ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING CHANGES

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

In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance to change the accounting for credit losses and modify the impairment model for certain debt securities. The guidance significantly changes the impairment model for most financial assets that are measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments from an incurred loss model to an expected loss model.model, which is commonly referred to as the current expected credit loss methodology. The amendments will be effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of identifying required changes to the loan loss estimation models and processes and evaluating the impact of this new guidance. Once adopted, we expect our allowance for loan losses to increase, however, untilUntil our evaluation is complete the magnitudeimpact of the increasechange will be unknown.
In April 2019, the FASB issued guidance to provide entities that have certain financial instruments measured at amortized cost that have credit losses, to irrevocably elect the fair value option in Subtopic 825-10, upon adoption of the June 2016 guidance related to accounting for credit losses and modifying the impairment model for certain debt securities. The fair value option applies to available-for-sale debt securities. This guidance should be applied at adoption on a modified-retrospective basis as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the statement of financial condition. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued guidance simplifying the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendments also improve consistent application or and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. This guidance became effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of these amendments did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued guidance that applies to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions (e.g., loans, debt securities, derivatives, borrowings) that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or other rate references expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The guidance permits an entity to make necessary modifications to eligible contracts or transactions without requiring contract remeasurement or reassessment of a previous accounting determination. In January 2021, updated guidance was issued to clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate reform. Amendments in this guidance to the expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 capture the incremental consequences of the scope clarification and tailor the existing guidance to derivative instruments affected by the discounting transition. The amendments in this guidance have differing effective dates, beginning with an interim period including and subsequent to March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2020,March 2022, the FASB issued guidanceamendments which clarifies thatare intended to improve the Company should reevaluate whether a callable debt security is within the scopedecision usefulness of paragraph 310-20-35-33 for each reporting period. This guidance becameinformation provided to investors about certain loan re-financings, restructurings, and write-offs. The amendments are effective for reporting periodsfiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020.2022 including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance didCompany does not expect these amendments to have a material impacteffect on the Company's consolidatedits financial statements.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting authorities are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

12. Non-Interest IncomeNOTE 15 - NON-INTEREST INCOME
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with Topic 606, revenues are recognized when control of promised goods or services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of Topic 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606, the Company assesses the goods or services that are promised within each contract and identifies those that contain performance obligations, and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

Service Fees on Deposit FeesAccounts
The Bank earns fees from its deposit customers for account maintenance, transaction-based and overdraft services.  Account maintenance fees consist primarily of account fees and analyzed account fees charged on deposit accounts on a monthly basis.  The performance obligation is satisfied and the fees are recognized on a monthly basis as the service period is completed. Transaction-based fees on deposits accounts are charged to deposit customers for specific services provided to the customer, such as non-sufficient funds fees, overdraft fees, and wire fees. The performance obligation is completed as the transaction occurs and the fees are recognized at the time each specific service is provided to the customer.
ATM and Check Card Fee Income
Check card fee income represents fees earned when a debit card issued by the Bank is used.  The Bank earns interchange fees from debit cardholder transactions through the Mastercard payment network.  Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder. The performance obligation is satisfied and the fees are earned when the cost of the transaction is charged to the card.  Certain expenses directly associated with the debit card are recorded on a net basis with the fee income.

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

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

14. Subsequent EventsNOTE 17 - 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 18 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. Recognized subsequent events are events or transactions that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements. Nonrecognized subsequent events are events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date.

Management has reviewed all events occurring through the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued and determined that there were no subsequent events requiring accrual or disclosure.

Response to COVID-19
In March 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 was recognized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization.
The spread of COVID-19 has created a global public health crisis that has resulted in unprecedented uncertainty, volatilityCompany maintains its commitment to supporting its community and disruption in financial markets and in governmental, commercial and consumer activity in the United States and globally, including the markets that we serve. Governmental responses to the pandemic have included orders to close businesses not deemed essential and directing individuals to restrict their movements, observe social distancing and shelter in place. These actions, together with responses to the pandemic by businesses and individuals, have resulted in rapid decreases in commercial and consumer activity, temporary, and some permanent, closures of many businesses that have led to a loss of revenues and a rapid increase in unemployment, material decreases in business valuations, disrupted global supply chains, market downturns and volatility, changes in consumer behavior related to pandemic fears, related emergency response legislation and an expectation that the Federal Reserve may maintain a low interest rate environment for the foreseeable future. Although financial markets have rebounded from significant declines that occurred earlier in the pandemic and U.S. and global economic conditions have shown signs of improvement since the beginning of the pandemic, many of the effects that arose or became more pronounced after the onset ofclients during the COVID-19 pandemic persisted this year.

Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") Participation
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Bank received $67.8 million in PPP loan repayments compared to $28.2 million during 2020. As a result of these repayments, the Bank recognized $4.5 million in deferred PPP loan fees which increased net interest income, $3.3 million of which was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
At September 30, 2021, the Bank had $32.1 million in PPP loans remaining compared to $47.1 million at December 31, 2020. We expect that the great majority of our PPP loans will ultimately be forgiven by the SBA in accordance with the terms of the program. The balance of unamortized net deferred fees on PPP loans was $1.8 million at September 30, 2021 compared to $1.4 million at December 31, 2020.
Loan Modifications
Since March 31, 2020, the Bank approved modifications related to the COVID-19 pandemic on over 340 customer loans with a combined balance, net of deferred fees, of $114.9 million. The majority of these modifications were for commercial real estate loans. The primary method of relief was to allow the borrower a three to six month payment deferral.All of these deferrals have resumed regular principal and interest payments as of September 30, 2021.
Branch Operations and Additional Client Support
The impact of COVID-19 is rapidly evolving and its future social and economic effects are uncertain at this time. The actual impact will depend on many factors beyond our Company’s control; however, the Company is taking every step to protect the health and safety of its employees and customers. Many of our non-branch personnel are working remotely or have flexible work schedules, and we have established protective measures within our offices to help ensure the safety of those employees who must work on-site. The Families First Coronavirus Response Act, which requires certain employers to provide employees with paid sick leave or expanded family and medical leave for specified reasons related to COVID-19, also provides additional flexibility to our employees to help navigate their individual challenges.

At
Deposit Accounts

Total deposits increased $2.9 million or 0.3% to $1.12 billion at September 30, 2022 from $1.12 billion at December 31, 2021. This growth was primarily due to increases in checking and savings accounts partially offset by a decline in higher cost certificates of deposits. The majority of the Bank’s deposits are originated within the Bank’s immediate market area. The Bank had $6.0 million and $10.0 million in brokered time deposits at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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 $15.4 million in borrowings from the "discount window" of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta compared to $48.7 million at December 31, 2020. Depository institutions may borrow from the discount window for periods as long as 90 days, and borrowings are prepayable and renewable by the borrower on a daily basis. Effective March 16, 2020 the borrowing rate was set at the top of the targeted Federal Funds Rate, or 0.25%.  At September 30, 2021, the collateral pledged by the Bank for these borrowings consisted of investment and mortgage-backed securities with an amortized cost and fair value of $80.9 million and $84.7 million, respectively.

Other Borrowings (Repurchase Agreements)
The Bank had $26.6$5.0 million in other borrowings at September 30, 2021, an increase of $13.5 million or 102.8% from $13.1 million at December 31, 2020. These borrowings consist of short-term repurchase agreements with certain commercial demand deposit customers for sweep accounts. The repurchase agreements typically mature within one to three days and the interest rate paid on these borrowings floats monthly with money market type rates. The interest rate paid on the repurchase agreements was 0.15%brokered deposits at both September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020.

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 1.82% at September 30, 2021 compared to 1.92% at December 31, 2020. The distribution rate payable on the Capital Securities is cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears. The Capital Securities mature or are mandatorily redeemable upon maturity on December 15, 2036, or upon earlier optional redemption as provided in the indenture. The Company has the right to redeem the Capital Securities in whole or in part.

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.
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 Company used the net proceeds from the saledeposits, see “Note 9 – Deposits” of the Notes to fund the redemptionConsolidated Financial Statements included in Part I.

InLoan yields in 2021 were impacted favorably as a result of recognition of unamortized deferred fee income on PPP loans forgiven and repaid by the SBA. Loan yields in 2022 were impacted favorably as a result of the rising interest rate environment. Since March 2022, in response to COVID-19,inflation, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve reducedSystem (“Federal Reserve”) has increased the targeted Federal Funds Ratetarget range for the federal funds rate by 300 basis points, including 150 basis points during March 2020the third quarter of 2022, to a range of 0.00%3.00% to 0.25%, where it remains at3.25% as of September 30, 2021.

Interest-earning assets adjust earlier because they are tiedrange of 3.75% to a specific market-based index. Because the length of the COVID-19 pandemic and the effects of the extraordinary measures being put in place to address its economic consequences are unknown, until the pandemic subsides, the Company expects its net interest income and4.00%. We believe our net interest margin during the current year will be adversely affectedcontinue to increase to reflect the lagging benefit of variable rate interest-earnings assets beginning to reprice higher and if the FOMC continues to raise the targeted federal funds rate in 2021an effort to curb inflation, which appears likely based on recent Federal Reserve communications and possibly longer.interest rate forecasts.

Provision for Loan Losses

The amount of the provision is determined by management’s on-going monthly analysis of the loan portfolio and the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The Company has policies and procedures in place for evaluating and monitoring the overall credit quality of the loan portfolio and for timely identification of potential problem loans including internal and external loan reviews. The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is reviewed monthly by the Asset Classification Committee and quarterly by the Board of Directors. Management’s monthly review of the adequacy of the allowance includes three main components.
The first component is an analysis of loss potential in various homogeneous segments of the loan portfolio based on historical trends and the risk inherent in each loan category. Currently, management applies a ten year historical loss ratio to each loan category to estimate the inherent loss in these pooled loans.

SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The second component of management’s monthly analysis is the specific review and evaluation of significant problem credits identified through the Company’s internal monitoring system. These loans are evaluated for impairment and recorded in accordance with accounting guidance. For each loan deemed impaired, management calculates a specific reserve for the amount in which the recorded investment in the loan exceeds the fair value. This estimate is based on a thorough analysis of the most probable source of repayment, which is typically liquidation of the collateral underlying the loan.
The third component is an analysis of changes in qualitative factors that may affect the portfolio, including but not limited to: relevant economic trends that could impact borrowers’ ability to repay, industry trends, changes in the volume and composition of the portfolio, credit concentrations, or lending policies and the experience and ability of the staff and Board of Directors.

Management also reviews and incorporates certain ratios such as percentage of classified loans, average historical loan losses by loan category, delinquency percentages, and the assignment of percentage targets of reserves in each loan category when evaluating the allowance. Once the analysis is completed, the three components are combined and compared to the allowance amount. Based on this, charges are made to the provision as needed. Because the SBA guarantees 100% of the PPP loans made to eligible borrowers, these loans do not have a corresponding allowance for loan loss.
The table below shows the changes in the allowance for loan losses for the quarters ended September 30, 20212022 and 2020.2021.

Thea negative provision for loan lossesof $665,000 for the third quarter of 2021 resulted primarily fromfollowing significantly higher loan loss provisions during 2020 in response to the net recoveries andongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The reversal of loan loss provisions during the three months ended September 30, 2021 was the result of a reduction in historical loss and qualitative adjustment factors related to improvement in the economic and business conditions at both the national and regional levels as of September 30, 2021.

Our strategy is to work with our borrowers to reach acceptable payment plans while protecting our interests in the existing collateral. In the event an acceptable arrangement cannot be reached, we may need to acquire these properties through foreclosure or other means and subsequently sell, develop or liquidate them. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate based on its best estimates of the probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio, although there can be no guarantee these estimates will not be proven incorrect in the future. In addition, bank regulatory agencies may require additional provisions to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments and estimates as part of their examination process.  Because the allowance for loan losses is an estimate, there is no guarantee that actual loan losses will not exceed the allowance for loan losses, or that additional increases in the allowance for loan losses will not be required in the future. A further decline in national and local economic conditions, as a result of the effects of inflation, a potential recession or slowed economic growth and any governmental or societal responses to the COVID-19 pandemic oramong other factors, could result in a material increase in the allowance for loan losses and may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income decreased $2.3 million, or 50.9%, to $2.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to $4.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to a $645,000 decrease in gain on sale of loans reflecting the decline in originations of loans held for sale following recent market interest rate increases combined with a $1.8 million decrease in grant income. These decreases were partially offset by increases in all other non-interest income line items with the exception of BOLI income, which decreased $4,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 when compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2021. For additional details of the changes in non-interest income, see “Note 15 - 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 $229,000 or 2.8% to $8.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to $8.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The following table summarizes the changes in non-interest expense:

The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to increases in compensation and employee benefits and occupancy expense during the third quarter of 2022, which were partially offset by a decrease in advertising expense.

Compensation and employee benefits increased $262,000 or 5.5% to $5.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 when compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2021 due to general annual cost of living increases and an increase in the number of full time equivalent employees as a result of our newest branch added during the first quarter of 2022 and the overall growth of the Company. Occupancy expense and other non-interest expense also increased during the third quarter of 2022 due to increased operations and the addition of our newest branch located in Columbia, South Carolina.

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

Liquidity
The Company actively analyzes and manages the Bank’s liquidity with the objective of maintaining an adequate level of liquidity and to ensure the availability of sufficient cash flows to support loan growth, fund deposit withdrawals, fund operations, and satisfy other financial commitments. See the “Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows” contained in Item 1 – Financial Statements, herein.
The Bank's primary sources of funds include deposits, scheduled loan and investment and mortgage-backed securities repayments, including interest payments, maturities and sales of loans and investment and mortgage-backed securities, advances from the FHLB and 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.commitments. The Bank had $173.0 million in unused commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit at September 30, 2022.  
During the nine months ended September 30, 20212022, loan disbursements exceeded loan repayments resulting in a $21.4$23.6 million or 4.5%4.7% increase in total net loans receivable. Also during the nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, deposits increased $98.5$2.9 million or 10.7% and FHLB advances decreased $25.0 million.0.3%. The Bank had $349.9no outstanding FHLB advances at September 30, 2022 with $401.7 million in additional borrowing capacity at the FHLB at the end of the period.that date. The Bank also has secured an $80.9had $1.0 million of outstanding borrowings from the discount window facility at the FRB at September 30, 2022, which was collateralized by investment securitiesinvestments AFS with a fair market value of $84.7 million. At September 30, 2021, the Bank had $15.4$70.4 million in outstanding borrowings at the FRB.that date. The Bank also had a $5.0$50.0 million unused Fed Funds facility with Pacific Coast Bankers Bank at September 30, 2021.2022. 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. As discussed above, on May 24, 2022, the Company sold $89.4 million of Preferred Stock to the U.S. Department of Treasury pursuant to the ECIP.

The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity. At September 30, 2021,2022, the Company, on an unconsolidated basis, had liquid assets of $94.5 million. In addition to its operating expenses, the Company is responsible for paying any dividends declared, if any, to its shareholders, funds paid for Company stock repurchases, and payments on trust-preferred securities and subordinated debentures held at the Company level. The Company has the ability to receive dividends or capital distributions from the Bank, had $114.3 millionalthough there are regulatory restrictions on the ability of certificates of deposit maturing within one year. Based on previous experience, the Bank anticipatesto 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 $0.12 per share, as approved by our Board of Directors, which we believe is a significantdividend rate per share which enables us to balance our multiple objectives of managing and investing in the Bank, and returning a substantial portion of these certificates willour cash to our shareholders. Assuming continued payment during 2022 at this rate of $0.12 per share, our average total dividend paid each quarter would be renewedapproximately $390,000 based on maturity.the number of outstanding shares at September 30, 2022.

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.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments

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

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

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 20202021 Form 10-K.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, the Bank's interest rate spread, defined as the average yield on interest bearing assets less the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities was 2.88%2.68%.


Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a)     Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a - 15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”)) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of the Company’s senior management as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that at September 30, 20212022 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 September 30, 20212022 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to affect our internal controls over financial reporting.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.
