Independent Auditor's Report
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of GUARANTY
SAVINGS AND HOMESTEAD ASSOCIATION as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
related statements of income, changes in equity capital and cash flows for the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Association's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presenetation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of GUARANTY SAVINGS AND HOMESTEAD
ASSOCIATION as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE A
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BUSINESS
The Association provides financial services primarily to
individuals, and is subject to competition from other financial
institutions. The Association is also subject to the regulations
of certain Federal and State agencies and undergoes periodic
examinations by those regulatory authorities.
BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing the
financial statements, management is required to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities as of the date of the statement of financial
condition and revenues and expenses for the year. Actual
results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible
to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for losses on
loans and valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or
in satisfaction of loans. Management independently determines the allowance for
losses on loans based on an evaluation of the loan history and the condition of
the underlying properties. In connection with the determination of the
allowances for losses on foreclosed real estate, management obtains independent
appraisals for all properties.
While management uses available information to recognize
losses on loans and foreclosed real estate, future additions to the allowances
may be necessary based on changes in local economic conditions. In addition,
regulatory agencies, an integral part of their examination process,
periodically review the Association's allowances for losses on loans and
foreclosed real estate. Such agencies may require the Association to
recognize additions to the allowances based on their judgments about
information available to them at the time of their examination.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
At December 31, 1994, the Association adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments
in Debt and Equity Securities." SFAS 115 requires the classification of
securities into one of three categories: Trading, Available-for-Sale or Held-
NOTE A
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
to-Maturity. Management determines the appropriate classification of debt
securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates this classification
periodically.
Investment securities that management has the ability and
intent to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and carried at
cost, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discounts using
the interest method. Marketable securities classified as available-for-sale
are carried at fair value in 1995 and 1994. Unrealized gains and losses on
securities available-for-sale are recognized as direct increases or decreases
in equity capital effective December 31, 1994, in accordance with the adoption
of SFAS 115. Cost of securities sold is recognized using the specific
identification method.
NOTE A
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES
Mortgage-backed securities represent participating interests
in pools of first mortgage loans originated and serviced by issuers of the
securities. Mortgage-backed securities are carried at unpaid principal
balances, adjusted for unamortized premiums and unearned discounts. Premiums
and discounts are amortized using the interest method over the remaining
period to contractual maturity. Management intends and has the ability to
hold such securities to maturity. Should any be sold, cost of securities sold
is determined using the specific identification method.
LOANS
Loans are stated at unpaid principal balances, less the
allowance for loan losses and net deferred loan fees.
Loan origination and commitment fees, as well as certain
direct origination costs, are deferred and amortized as a yield adjustment
over the contractual lives of the related loans using the interest method.
Loans are placed on nonaccrual when principal or interest is
delinquent for 90 days or more. Any unpaid interest previously accrued on
those loans is reversed from income, and thereafter interest is recognized
only to the extent of payments received.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level
which, in management's judgment, is adequate to absorb probable losses
inherent in the loan portfolio. The amount of the allowance is based on
management's evaluation of the collectibility of the loan portfolio,
including the nature of the portfolio, credit concentrations, trends in
historical loss experience, specific impaired loans, and economic conditions.
The allowance is increased by a provision for loan losses, which is charged
to expense, and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Changes in the
allowance relating to impaired loans are charged or credited to the provision
for loan losses.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Office property and equipment are carried at cost.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method, over the estimated
useful lives of those properties and equipment acquired prior to 1981.
Property and equipment acquired after 1986 are depreciated
under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System. The depreciation under
these methods does not differ materially from that calculated in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles.
When these assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the
cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization is removed from the
accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income for the
period.
NOTE A
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
FORECLOSED REAL ESTATE
Foreclosed real estate includes formally foreclosed
property. At the time of foreclosure, foreclosed real estate is recorded at
the lower of the Association's cost or the asset's fair value, less estimated
selling costs, which becomes the property's new basis. Costs incurred in
maintaining foreclosed real estate are included in income (loss) or foreclosed
real estate.
REAL ESTATE HELD-FOR-INVESTMENT
Real estate held-for-investment consists of a former branch
location and is carried at amortized costs.
INCOME TAXES
Effective January 1, 1994, the Association adopted SFAS 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes." Under SFAS 109, the liability method is used
in accounting for income taxes.
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of the
transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently
due plus deferred taxes related to differences between the basis of assets and
liabilities for financial and income tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and
liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences,
which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are
recovered or settled.
Financial Institutions are exempt from Louisiana income tax.
PENSION PLAN
The Association has a Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) plan
covering substantially all employees. It is the policy of the Association to
fund the plan at a percentage, based on annual profits, of total compensation
of plan participants, not to exceed the maximum allowable for Federal income
tax purposes.
STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS
The Association considers all cash and amounts due from
depository institutions, interest-bearing deposits in other banks and Federal
funds sold to be cash equivalents for purposes of the statements of cash flows.
NON-DIRECT RESPONSE ADVERTISING COSTS
The Association expenses advertising costs as incurred.
Advertising cost were $38,401 and $36,812 at December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
NOTE B
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
As discussed in Note A, the Association adopted SFAS 115
December 31, 1994. Prior to December 31, 1994, the Association classified
securities as held-for-sale securities (available-for-sale) and investment
securities (held-to-maturity) based on criteria which did not differ
significantly from that required by SFAS 115.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 114,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, as amended by SFAS 118,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and
Disclosures", which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1994. This statement establishes standards, including the use of discounted
cash flow techniques, for measuring the impairment of a loan when it is
probable that the contractual terms will not be met.
The Association adopted SFAS 114 on January 1, 1995.
Adoption of this standard had no impact on the Association's net income,
stockholders' equity or total assets.
At December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the Association
had loans totaling approximately $397,719 and $337,867, respectively, for
which impairment had been recognized. The allowance for loan losses related
to these loans totaled $160,400, and $123,400 at December 31, 1996 and December
31, 1995, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 1995, the amount of
interest income that would have been recorded on loans in nonaccrual status at
December 31, 1995, had such loans performed in accordance with their terms, was
approximately $16,881. The actual interest income recorded on these loans
during the year ended December 31, 1995 was approximately $-0-. Such interest
foregonefor the year ended December 31, 1996 was approximately $18,940.
NOTE D
LOANS (Continued)
In the ordinary course of business, the Association has and
expects to continue to have transactions, including borrowings, with its
officers and directors. In the opinion of management, such transactions were
on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as
those prevailing at the time of comparable transactions with other persons and
did not involve more than a normal risk of collectibility or present any other
unfavorable features to the Association. Loans to such borrowers are summarized
as follows:
December 31,

The Association's lending activity is concentrated within
the metropolitan New Orleans area. The economy in the area has been affected
because of the economic decline in oil and gas related businesses. The
Association's major emphasis in lending has been the origination of permanent
single-family dwelling loans, and such loans comprise the majority of the
Association's loan portfolio.

Included in retained earnings at December 31, 1996, and
December 31, 1995 is approximately $3,282,148, and $4,940,983, respectively in
bad debt reserves for which no deferred Federal income tax liability has been
recorded. These amounts represent allocations of income to bad debt deductions
for tax purposes only. Reduction of these reserves for purposes other than tax
bad-debt losses or adjustments arising from carryback of net operating losses
would create income for tax purposes, which would be subject to the then-current
corporate income tax rate. The unrecorded deferred liability on these amounts
was approximately $1,115,930 and $1,679,000 for December 31, 1996 and December

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION IMPROVEMENT ACT OF 1991
(FDICIA) AND FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS REFORM, RECOVERY AND
ENFORCEMENT ACT OF 1989 (FIRREA)
FDICIA was signed into law on December 19, 1991.
Regulations implementing the prompt corrective action provisions of FDICIA
became effective on December 19, 1992. In addition to the prompt corrective
action requirements, FDICIA includes significant changes to the legal and
regulatory environment for insured depository institutions, including
reductions in insurance coverage for certain kinds of deposits, increased
supervision by the Federal regulatory agencies, increased reporting requirements
for insured institutions, and new regulations concerning internal controls,
accounting and operations.
FIRREA was signed into law on August 9, 1989. Regulations
for savings institutions' minimum capital requirements went into effect on
December 7, 1989. In addition to its capital requirements, FIRREA includes
provisions for changes in the Federal regulatory structure for institutions,
including a new deposit insurance system, increased deposit insurance premiums,
and restricted investment activities with respect to noninvestments grade
corporate debt and certain other investments. FIRREA also increases the
required ration of housing-related assets in order to qualify as a savings
institution.

The regulations require institutions to have a minimum
regulatory tangible capital equal to 1.5% of adjusted total assets, a minimum
4% core/leverage capital ratio, a minimum 4% tier 1 risk-based ratio, and a
minimum 8% total risk-bases capital ratio to be considered "adequately
capitalized." An institution is deemed to be "critically undercapitalized"
if it has a tangible equity ratio of 2% or less. The ability to include
qualifying supervisory goodwill for purposes of the core/leverage capital and
tangible capital was phased out by July 1, 1995.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, the Association has
various outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities that are not
reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The principal commitments
of the Association are as follows:
Loan Commitments:
Outstanding mortgage loan commitments as of December 31,
1996 and 1995 were approximately $258,680 and $318,460, respectively. These
commitments normally extended for thirty days, are for first mortgage loans at
a fixed rate ranging from 7.75% to 9%.
NOTE N
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)
Investment Commitments:
Outstanding commitments to purchase investment securities as
of December 31, 1996 were $-0- and as of December 31, 1995 were approximately
$300,000.
SAIF Commitment:
During 1995, legislation was proposed by Congress to
recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF). The Association
paid $413,324 in December, 1996.
NOTE O
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
The Association 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 consist of commitments to
extend credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of
credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the
statements of financial condition.
The Association's exposure to credit loss in the event of
nonperformance by the other party to these financial instruments for commitments
to extend credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those
instruments (see Note N). The Association uses the same credit policies
making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a
customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the
contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other
termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the
commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total
commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
The Association evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case
basis. The amount and type of collateral obtained varies and is based on
management's credit evaluation of the counterparty.
NOTE P
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Association has deposits in another financial
institution for more than the insured limit. The Association is required to
keep a minimum compensating balance of approximately $250,000.
NOTE Q
DISCLOSURE ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
On January 1, 1995, the Association adopted SFAS 107,
"Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", which requires the
disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or
not recognized in the statement of financial conditon, for which it is
practicable to estimate the value. Quoted market prices, when available, are
used as the measure of fair value. In cases where quoted market prices are
not available, fair values are based on present value estimates or other
valuation techniques. These derived fair values are significantly affected
by assumptions used, principally the timing of future cash flows and the
discount rates. Because assumptions are inherently subjective in nature, the
estimated fair values cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent
market quotes and, in many cases, the estimated fair values would not
necessarily be realized in an immediate sale or settlement of the instrument.
The disclosure requirements of SFAS 107 exclude certain financial instruments
and all nonfinancial instruments. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts
presented do not represent management's estimation of the underlying value of
the Association.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate
the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is
practicable to estimate the value:
The carrying amount of cash and short term investments
approximate the fair value.
For investment securities and mortgage-backed securities fair
value is based on quoted market prices.
For mortgage loan receivables the fair values are based on
discounted cash flows using current rates at which similar loans with
similar maturities would be made to borrowers with similar credit risk.
The fair value of savings deposits is equal to the amount
payable at the date of the financial statements.
For certificates of deposit, fair value is estimated based on
current rates for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
The fair value of loan commitments is estimated using fees
that would be charged to enter similar agreements, taking into
account (1) the remaining terms of the agreement, (2) the
creditworthiness of the borrowers, and (3) for fixed rate
commitments, the difference between current interest rates and
committed rates.

NOTE R
ADOPTION OF PLAN OF CONVERSION
On October 10, 1996, the Board of Directors of GUARANTY
SAVINGS AND HOMESTEAD ASSOCIATION adopted a Plan of Conversion (the "Plan"),
which proposes the conversion of the Association from a Louisiana-chartered
mutual savings and loan association to a Louisiana-chartered stock savings and
loan association to be known as "Guaranty Savings and Homestead Association"
(the "Association", in its mutual or stock form, as the sense of the reference
requires) and the concurrent issuance of its capital stock to G S Financial
Corporation ("the newly formed Holding Company").
NOTE R
ADOPTION OF PLAN OF CONVERSION (Continued)
The Plan provides that non-transferable subscription rights
to purchase Common Stock will be offered first to Eligible Account Holders of
record as of the Eligibility Record Date, then to Tax-Qualified Employee Stock
Benefit Plans, then to Supplemental Eligible Account Holders, if applicable,
then to Other Members, and then to Directors, Officers and Employees. Shares
of Common Stock remaining unsold after the Subscription Offering, if any, will
be offered for sale to the public through a Community Offering and/or Syndicated
Community Offering, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Holding
Company and the Association in their sole discretion. The common stock will be
offered at a price to be determined by the Board of Directors based upon an
appraisal to be made by an independent appraisal firm. The exact number of
shares to be offered will be determined by the Board of Directors in
conjunction with the determination of the price at which the shares will be
sold. The costs of issuing the common stock will be deferred and deducted
from the sale proceeds. The Association had incurred $169,625 stock issuance
costs as of December 31, 1996. If the conversion is not completed, deferred
costs will be charged to operations.
In accordance with OTS Regulations, at the time that the
Association converts from a mutual savings and loan association to a stock
savings and loan association, the Association will establish a liquidation
account with an initial balance equal to the Association's retained earnings
as of the date of the latest balance sheet appearing in the prospectus. The
liquidation account will be maintained for the benefit of eligible holders
who continue to maintain their accounts at the Association after the Conversion.
The liquidation account will be reduced annually to the extent that eligible
account holders have reduced their qualifying deposits. Subsequent increases
will not restore an eligible account holder's interest in the liquidation
account. In the event of a complete liquidation of the Association, and only
in such event, each account holder will be entitled to receive a distribution
from the liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the adjusted
qualifying account balances then held. The Association may not pay dividends
if those dividends would reduce retained earnings below the required
liquidation account amount.
See accompanying notes and auditor's report.
