ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

    MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION.


    SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED WITH SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997.

    Balance Sheet

    Total Assets at June 30, 1998 were $41.9 million compared to $43.7 million
at June 30, 1997. Total loans increased to $23 million at June 30, 1998 from
$20.5 million at June 30, 1997, while securities decreased to $12.6 million from
$19.3 million and deposits increased to $37.6 million from $37.4 million as of
those respective dates. Shareholders' equity in Bancshares increased to $2.7
million at June 30, 1998 from $2.2 million at June 30, 1997. Bancshares'
shareholders' equity in its wholly owned bank subsidiary, Guaranty Bank & Trust
Company ("Guaranty Bank"), was $2.7 million at June 30, 1998, down from $3.7
million at June 30, 1997, as a result of payment by Guaranty Bank of a dividend
in October, 1997 to Bancshares pursuant to a Capital Plan under which the
dividend was applied by Bancshares, principally, to reduction of outstanding
indebtedness of Bancshares. See "Subsequent Events", below.

    Income

    The income of Bancshares is ordinarily attributable almost entirely to
dividends on earnings of Guaranty Bank. Consolidated net income of Bancshares is
generally determined by deduction of interest and expenses incurred by
Bancshares from the net income earned by Guaranty Bank.

    Income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was $197 thousand compared to
$90 thousand during the same period in 1997. June, 1997 also recorded
extraordinary income to Bancshares of approximately $2.2 million as a result of
final resolution of litigation. Interest income decreased to $1.545 million for
the six month period ended June 30, 1998 compared to $1.632 million for the same
period in 1997. Non-interest income totaled $178 thousand for the six month
period, compared to $163 million for the same period in 1997. Interest expense
decreased to $599 thousand during the six months ended June 30, 1998, down from
$713 thousand during the same period in 1997, due primarily to reduction of
Bancshares' debt, while non-interest expense decreased to $807 thousand from
$967 thousand during those periods.

    Subsequent Events

    In August 1997, Guaranty Bank and Bancshares received approval from their
primary regulators, the Louisiana Office of Financial Institutions, the FDIC and
the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, of a "Capital Plan" for the payment by
Guaranty Bank of dividends during 1997 and 1998 to Bancshares as part of a plan
to pay Bancshares' indebtedness and dividends to Bancshares' shareholders. The
Capital Plan limits payment of dividends to Bancshares to the amount by which
Guaranty Bank's Tier 1 Capital exceeds 6%. The 6% limitation allowed a dividend
of $1,316 million during 1997.

    Dividends by Guaranty Bank to Bancshares during 1997 were applied by
Bancshares as follows: (i) $50,000 in August to pay an installment on
Bancshares' note and cover legal expenses, (ii) $1.2 million in October to
reduce the balance of Bancshares' indebtedness to $165,000 and (iii) $36,000 in
December 1997 for a dividend ($.25 per share) to Bancshares' shareholders.

    JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED WITH DECEMBER 31, 1997

    Balance Sheet

    Total assets increased to $42.0 million at June 30, 1998, an increase of
1.5% from $41.4 million at December 31, 1997. Total loans increased by $567
thousand, or 2.5%, to $23 million at June 30, 1998 compared to $22.4 million at
December 31, 1997, while securities declined $1.6 million to $12.7 million at
June 30, 1998, down from 14.3 million at December 31, 1997, primarily as a
result of securities that were called before maturity and principal pay-downs
received without reinvestment of the proceeds in new securities.

    Total deposits increased by $.6 million to $37.7 million at June 30, 1998, a
1.6% increase from $37.1 million at December 31, 1997. Non-interest bearing
deposits increased at a 2.7% rate, compared to a 1.3% growth in interest bearing
deposits. During the first six months of 1998, shareholders' equity in
Bancshares increased to $2.7 million from $2.5 million at December 31, 1997 due
to earnings of Guaranty Bank. During the same periods, Bancshares' equity in
Guaranty Bank increased from $2.5 million at year-end 1997 to $2.7 million at
June 30, 1998.

    LOAN LOSS PROVISION

    As a result of management's assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for
possible loan losses, Guaranty Bank recorded an increase in it's loan loss
provision of $21.8 thousand at June 30, 1998. The allowance for possible loan
losses at June 30, 1998 was $260 thousand, 1.1% of total loans, compared to $238
thousand, or 1.1% of total loans, at December 31, 1997 and $240 thousand or 1.2%
at June 30, 1997. On a monthly basis, Guaranty Bank management performs an
analysis to determine the adequacy of the reserve for possible loan losses. A
provision of 1% - 1.25% of total loans has been deemed to be adequate. In the
event that a deficiency exists, the Bank will increase the actual loan loss
reserve to a satisfactory level.

    INCOME TAXES

    Bancshares has a net operating loss carryforward at December 31, 1997 of
approximately $670 thousand after adjustment for gain on receipt of proceeds
from resolution of litigation during 1997. See "Subsequent Events". Bancshares'
management estimates that, beginning in 1999, Bancshares will have no net
operating losses remaining and that it will, therefore, begin to pay federal
income tax during 1999.
