Security Bancorp, Inc. (OTCBB:SCYT) today announced
consolidated earnings for the first quarter ended March 31, 2005. The
Company is the holding company for Security Federal Savings Bank of
McMinnville, Tennessee.
   Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was $275,000,
or 65 cents per share, compared to $242,000, or 60 cents per share,
for the same quarter last year.
   Net interest income after provision for loan losses for the three
months ended March 31, 2005 increased 9.1% to $1,009,000 from $925,000

was attributable to the increase in interest rates during the quarter.
   Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was
$465,000 compared to $382,000 for the same quarter last year. The
increase was attributable to an increase in service charges on deposit
accounts.
   Non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was
$1,025,000 compared to $909,000 for the same quarter last year. The
increase was primarily a result of additional costs associated with
hiring of new personnel and increases in data processing costs.

March 31, 2005 from $109,865,000 at December 31, 2004. Loans
receivable, net, increased from $85,657,000 at December 31, 2004 to
$86,809,000 at March 31, 2005. The increase in consolidated assets was
primarily a result of government accounts obtained by the bank.
   The provision for loan losses decreased to $58,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2005 from $65,000 at December 31, 2004.
Non-performing assets increased from $117,000 at December 31, 2004 to

.11% at December 31, 2004 and .38% at March 31, 2005.

increased from $13,171,000 at December 31, 2004 to $33,781,000 at
March 31, 2005 as a result of purchasing government securities to
secure the governmental deposits mentioned above.
   Investment and mortgage-backed securities held-to-maturity
decreased from $7,000 at December 31, 2004 to $5,000 at March 31, 2005
as a result of repayment of principal on mortgage-backed securities.
   Deposits increased $410,000 from $92,241,000 at December 31, 2004
to $92,651,000 at March 31, 2005. The increase was primarily
attributable to an increase in certificates of deposit and savings
accounts.
   Stockholders' equity at March 31, 2005 was $11,244,000, or 8.5% of
total assets, compared to $11,038,000, or 10.0% or total assets, at
