(10) STOCK OPTION PLAN
On October 15, 1997, the stockholders approved the adoption of
the GS Financial Corp. 1997 Stock Option Plan for the benefit of
directors, officers and other key employees. Under this plan,
343,850 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance
pursuant to the exercise of stock options with 275,076 shares granted
to vest over five years. The Company has followed all disclosure
requirements set forth in SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." To date no options have been exercised.
(11) RECOGNITION AND RETENTION PLAN
On October 15, 1997 the Company established the Recognition
and Retention Plan and Trust ("RRP") as an incentive to retain
personnel of experience and ability in key positions. The RRP Plan
calls for 137,540 shares of stock to be granted to plan participants.
By January 16, 1998, the Company had acquired in open market
transactions a total of 137,500 shares of common stock for issuance
under the RRP. The Company is accruing this expense commensurate with
the expiration of the ten year vesting period based on the price of
the stock ($12.50/share) when the plan was modified in September,
1998. As of June 30, 2000, 25,000 shares have been distributed to
1999. participants of the plan.
(12) TREASURY STOCK
On April 1, 2000, the Company realized its three year
anniversary of the initial public offering of its common stock
and is now exempt from previous OTS limitations regarding the
purchase of Treasury stock. At June 30, 2000, the Company had
repurchased 1,191,054 shares of its outstanding common stock at a
cost of $16.9 million. Since that time the Company has made
additional acquisitions of its outstanding shares. As of August 11,
2000, the Company had acquired a total of 1,443,054 shares of
Treasury stock at an average price of $13.98 per common share.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
In addition to the historical information contained herein, the
following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve
risk and uncertainties. Economic circumstances, the Company's
operations, and actual results could differ significantly from those
discussed in the forward-looking statements. The major factors that
could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not
limited to, changes in the local economy as well as fluctuations in
prevailing interest rates. Other forward-looking statements are made
concerning the amount and adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.
GENERAL
The Company's principal business is conducted through its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Guaranty Savings and Homestead Association.
The Association, founded in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1937, provides
financial services primarily to individuals. It's principal products
include mortgage loans, passbook savings accounts, certificates of
deposit, and interest and non-interest bearing demand deposit
accounts. The Association also invests in short-term and long-term
liquid investments such as overnight Federal Funds, United States
Treasury and Agency issued securities, and mortgage-backed
securities.
The following discussion compares the financial condition of GS
Financial Corp. at June 30, 2000 to December 31, 1999 and the
results of operations for the three months and six months ended June
30, 2000 and 1999.
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
At June 30, 2000, the assets of the Company totaled $149.7
million, a decrease of $8.3 million, or 5%, from $158.0
million at December 31, 1999. The six months ended June 30, 2000
were characterized by growth in the Company's portfolio of mortgage
loans while interest-bearing deposits and FHLB advances decreased.
The funding for these changes was facilitated through the sale and
regular amortization of the Company's mortgage-backed securities and
collateralized mortgage obligations.
Loans receivable increased by $2.3 million, or 3%, to $72.4
million at June 30, 2000 compared to $70.1 million at December 31,
1999. The increase came primarily in loans on 1-4 family residential
dwellings.
Collateralized mortgage obligations decreased $4.4 million, or
8%, to $47.7 million at June 30, 2000 compared to $52.1 million at
December 31, 1999. The Company's portfolio of CMOs consists of fixed
rate, AAA rated bonds issued by FHLMC, FNMA and various private
companies such as Countrywide. During the last three months of 1999
and first three months of 2000, monthly principal payments from these
instruments slowed. However, the three months ended June 30, 2000
and into July, 2000 have seen a trend of increased principal cash
flow from these investments.
Mortgage-backed securities decreased $4.1 million, or 25%, to
$12.2 million at June 30, 2000 compared to $16.3 million at December
31, 1999. This was due to the continued pay-downs of these
instruments totaling $1.0 million and the sale of $3.1 million of
mortgage-backed securities in May, 2000. These bonds were liquidated
to provide funds for mortage loans and other cash needs.
Investment securities decreased $3.9 million, or 37%, to $6.6
million at June 30, 2000 compared to $10.5 million at December
31, 1999. This reduction is the result of the maturity of some of
the Company's bonds, net redemption of the Adjustable Rate Mutual
Fund and Intermediate Mortgage Fund, and a reduction in the market
value of the Company's FHLMC common stock.
Interest bearing deposits decreased $2.4 million, or 4% to
$56.8 million at June 30, 2000 compared to $59.2 million at December
31, 1999.
The Company's borrowings decreased $1.4 million, or 3%, to
$52.6 million at June 30, 2000 compared to $54.0 million at December
31, 1999. The Company's borrowings consist of $31.0 million of fully
amortizing advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) as well as
$21.6 million in balloon obligations from the FHLB.
Stockholders' equity decreased $4.6 million, to $38.9
million at June 30, 2000 compared to $43.5 million at December
31, 1999. The decrease was mainly due to the acquisition of $4.9
million of Treasury Stock in April and May 2000, net income of $.6
million, a decrease in comprehensive income of $.1 million, dividends
paid of $.4 million and the net effects of the reduction of the ESOP
debt totaling $.2 million.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The Company reported net income for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 of $.2 million which was a decrease of $.1
million compared to $.3 million for the three months ended June
30, 1999. This represents earnings of $.11 per common share for the
three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $.13 per common share
for the three months ended June 30, 1999. The decrease was due to
losses realized by the Company on the sale of investments totaling
$.2 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, net income was
$.6 million, or $.25 per common share, compared to $.7 million, or
$.27 per common share, for the six months ended June 30, 1999.
INTEREST INCOME
Total interest income increased $.3 million, or 12.0%, to $2.8
million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to
$2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999. This was
due primarily to increases in interest on collateralized mortgage
obligations and mortgage loans, which was partially offset by
decreases in interest income from mortgage-backed securities.
Total interest income increased $.5 million, or 10%, for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 to $5.6 million compared to $5.1 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1999.
Interest on loans increased $.1 million, or 8%, to $1.4
million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to
$1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999. This was

of the loan portfolio for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was
$71.5 million (net) compared to $65.3 million (net) for the three
months ended June 30, 1999. The average annualized yield on loans
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 was 7.99% and 8.06%
respectively. Interest on loans for the six months ended June 30,
2000 was $2.8 million compared to $2.6 million for the six months

months ended June 30, 2000 compared to 6.5% for the same period in

financial institutions. Other interest income was $.15 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $.06 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1999. This represents an increase of
150.0% and was due to the fact that the Company is keeping more in
Federal Funds sold due to this year's stock buy-back programs and the
Company's receipt of a one time special dividend on its Federal Home
Loan Bank stock received in April 2000.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The Company had no provision for loan loss for the quarters
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. The Allowance for Loan Loss (ALL) is
reviewed quarterly and is based on each individual loan's performance
as well as the estimated value of the underlying collateral. The
Company employs the reserve method of accounting for its ALL.
INTEREST EXPENSE
The Company's total interest expense increased $.2 million, or
17%, to $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000
compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30,
1999. The increase was due to an increase in interest expense of $.2
million on advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. The Company's
overall cost of funds increased from 4.76% (annualized) for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 to 5.11% (annualized) for the same period
in 2000. The increased cost of funds was due to the increase of
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances as a percentage of total interest-
bearing funds and to the Federal Reserve's increases in short-term
rates over the last twelve months. While the amount of interest paid
on interest-bearing deposits was unchanged at $.6 million, the cost
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was 4.41% compared to 4.23%
for the three months ended June 30, 1999. For the six months ended
June 30, 2000, the Company's overall cost of funds was 5.03% on an
average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $110.0 million.
For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company's cost of funds
was 4.75% on an average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of
$103.1 million. The cost of the Company's advances from the Federal
Home Loan Bank increased from 5.53% (annualized) for the three months
ended June 30, 1999, compared to 5.86% (annualized) for the three
months ended June 30, 2000.
OTHER EXPENSES
Other expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2000
were $.9 million compared to $.8 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1999. This represents an increase of $.1 million, or
13%. The change was the result of increases in compensation expense,
data processing expense and miscellaneous taxes. Operating expenses
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 reflected a similar $.1
million increase compared to 1999.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity measures the Company's ability to meet its short-term
obligations with ready cash. These commitments and obligations
include loan disbursements, savings withdrawals by customers, the
payment of dividends and the daily operating expenses of the Company.
The Company's primary sources of funds are interest-bearing
customer deposits, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank and
maturities of existing investments including mortgage loans,
mortgage-backed securities, investment securities and collateralized
mortgage obligations. The Company does not utilize brokered deposits
nor does it offer special rates for "jumbo" deposits of $100,000 or
more.
The Company is required under Federal regulations to maintain
certain levels of "liquid" investments, specifically not less than 4%
of its average daily balance of net withdrawable deposit accounts.
For its liquid investments, the Company utilizes a combination of
cash on hand, certain money market investments, and deposits in other
financial institutions, as well as U.S. Government and Agency issued
securities. As of June 30, 2000, the Company's liquidity stood at
60.5%, or $61.5 million in excess of the minimum requirement.
The Company is required to maintain regulatory capital
sufficient to meet all three of the regulatory capital requirements,
those being tangible capital (1.5%), core capital (3.0%), and risk
-based capital (8.0%). As of June 30, 2000, the Company's
tangible and core capital amounted to $28.3 million, or 19.3% of
adjusted total assets, while the Company's risk-based capital was
