Security Bancorp, Inc. Announces First Quarter Earnings

Security Bancorp, Inc. (OTCBB:SCYT) today announced
consolidated earnings for the first quarter ended March 31, 2006. The
Company is the holding company for Security Federal Savings Bank of
McMinnville, Tennessee ("Bank").
   Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $324,000,
or 79 cents per share, compared to $275,000, or 65 cents per share,
for the same quarter last year.
   Net interest income after provision for loan losses for the three
months ended March 31, 2006 increased 20.4% to $1.2 million from $1.0
million for the same period last year. The increase in net interest
income was attributable to the increase in interest rates during the
quarter.
   Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was
$490,000 compared to $465,000 for the same quarter of 2005. The 5.4%
increase was attributable to an increase in the gain on sale of loans.
   Non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was
$1.1 million compared to $1.0 million for the same quarter of 2005.
The 13.3% increase was primarily a result of an increase in data
processing and personnel expenses.
   Consolidated assets of the Company increased 5.8% to $141.7
million at March 31, 2006 from $133.9 million at December 31, 2005.
Loans receivable, net, decreased .9% from $88.6 million at December
31, 2005 to $87.8 million at March 31, 2006. The increase in
consolidated assets was primarily funded by the increases in
government deposits held at the Bank.
   The provision for loan losses increased to $70,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2006 from $58,000 for the same quarter last
year. Non-performing assets decreased from $660,000 at December 31,
2005 to $ 439,000 at March 31, 2006. Non-performing assets to total
assets were 0.31% at March 31, 2006, compared to 0.49% at December 31,
2005.
   Investment and mortgage-backed securities available-for-sale
increased from $27.9 million at December 31, 2005 to $36.3 million at
March 31, 2006 as a result of purchasing government securities to
secure the governmental deposits mentioned above.
   Investment and mortgage-backed securities held-to-maturity
remained the same from December 31, 2005 to March 31, 2006.
   Deposits increased $772,000 from $105.9 million at December 31,
2005 to $106.7 million at March 31, 2006. The increase was primarily
attributable to an increase in certificates of deposits.
   Stockholders' equity at March 31, 2006 was $12.3 million, or 8.7%
of total assets, compared to $12.0 million, or 8.9% or total assets,
at December 31, 2005.
