Note 1:  Conversion, Reorganization and Stock Issuance
         ---------------------------------------------

         On December 30, 1997, Guaranty Federal  Bancshares,  Inc. completed the
conversion from a federally chartered mutual holding company, (formerly Guaranty
Federal  Bancshares,  M.  H.  C.)  to a  Delaware-chartered  stock  corporation.
Stockholders'  equity increased to $69.5 million primarily due to the conversion
in which Guaranty Federal  Bancshares,  Inc.  exchanged  1,880,710 shares of its
common  stock  for all the  Bank's  common  stock not held by  Guaranty  Federal
Bancshares, M. H. C. This exchange ratio was 1.931. In addition 4,340,812 shares
at $10.00 per share were sold in the stock offering, including 344,454 shares to
the employee stock  ownership  plan ( the "ESOP").  Total shares of common stock
outstanding following the offering and exchange was 6,221,522.

         In April  1995  Guaranty  Federal  Savings  and Loan  Association  (the
"Association")  reorganized  from a federally  chartered mutual savings and loan
association into a federal mutual holding company,  Guaranty Federal Bancshares,
M.  H.  C.  (the  "MHC").  As  part  of  the  reorganization,   the  Association
incorporated a de novo federally  chartered stock savings bank, Guaranty Federal
Savings  Bank  (the  "Bank")  and  transferred  most of its  assets  and all its
liabilities  to the Bank. The Bank issued  3,125,000  shares of its common stock
(par value $1.00) of which  972,365  shares were sold to parties  other than the
MHC, thus creating a minority  ownership interest in the Bank. The shares had an
initial public offering price of $8 per share, resulting in gross sales proceeds
of  $7,778,920.  Costs related to the stock issuance of $654,388 were applied to
reduce the gross  proceeds.  Also  $100,000 was  transferred  to the MHC for the
initial capitalization in connection with reorganization.

Note 2:  Basis of Presentation
         ---------------------

         The accompanying  unaudited interim  consolidated  financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles
for interim  financial  information  and with the  instructions to Form 10-Q and
Rule  10-01 of  Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not  include  all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted  accounting  principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring accruals)  considered  necessary for a fair
presentation have been included.

Note 5:  Benefit Plans
         -------------

         On October 18, 1995,  the Bank's  stockholders  voted to approve both a
Recognition and Retention Plan ("RRP") and a Stock Option Plan ("SOP").  On July
22, 1998,  the Company's  stockholders  voted to approve both a 1998  Restricted
Stock Plan (" RSP") and a 1998 Stock Option Plan ("1998  SOP").  The RRP and RSP
authorized shares to be issued to directors, officers and employees of the Bank.
As of December 31, 1999,  all of the RRP and RSP shares have been  purchased and
all except 2,925 shares have been awarded.  The Bank is  amortizing  the RRP and
RSP expense over each participant's  vesting period and the financial statements
reflect  $247,395 RRP and RSP expense for the six month period  ending  December
31, 1999. The SOP and 1998 SOP  authorized  stock options on shares to be issued
to officers  and  employees  of the Bank,  as of  December  31, 1999 all options
except those on 25,263 shares have been granted.  The RRP, RSP, SOP and 1998 SOP
vest over a five year period.  The RRP and SOP have been adjusted to reflect the
conversion,  reorganization  and  stock  issuance  described  in Note 1 with all
vesting periods  remaining  unchanged.  At December 31, 1999, there were 567,494
unexercised  options  that have been  granted  at prices  ranging  from $5.83 to
$13.44 per share and 158,095 RRP and RSP shares were unvested.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         -----------------------------------------------------------------------
         of Operations
         -------------

General
- -------

         The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts
of Guaranty Federal  Bancshares,  Inc. (the "Company"),  and all accounts of its
wholly  owned  subsidiary,  Guaranty  Federal  Savings Bank (the "Bank") and all
accounts of the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank, Guaranty Financial Services
of Springfield, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have
been eliminated in consolidation.

         However,  because the conversion,  reorganization and stock issuance of
the  Company,  the Bank and related  entities  did not occur until  December 30,
1997,  all results  prior to that date  reflect the accounts of the Bank and its
subsidiary.  The Company  realized  approximately  $39.2 million in net proceeds
from the stock issuance of which the Company  provided $19.9 million to the Bank
as capital and the Company provided a loan of $3.44 million to fund the purchase
of stock for the  employee  stock  ownership  plan.  Other than the loan for the
ESOP, most of the funds received have been invested in loans.

         The primary  function of the Company has been to monitor its investment
in the Bank,  as a result,  the results of operations of the Company are derived
primarily  from  operations of the Bank.  The Bank's  results of operations  are
primarily  dependent on net interest  margin,  which is the  difference  between
interest   income  on   interest-earning   assets   and   interest   expense  on
interest-bearing liabilities. The Bank's income is also affected by the level of
its  noninterest  expenses,  such as  employee  salary and  benefits,  occupancy
expenses and other  expenses.  The  following  discussion  reviews the financial
condition  at  December  31, 1999 and the  results of  operations  for the three
months and six months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998.

         The discussion set forth below,  as well as other portions of this Form
10-Q,  may contain  forward-looking  comments.  Such comments are based upon the
information  currently  available to management of the Company and  management's
perception  thereof  as of the  date of the Form  10-Q.  Actual  results  of the
Company's   operations  could  materially  differ  from  those   forward-looking
comments.  The differences could be caused by a number of factors or combination
of factors  including,  but limited to; changes in demand for banking  services;
changes in portfolio  composition;  changes in  management  strategy;  increased
competition  from both bank and non-bank  companies;  and changes in the general
level of interest rates.

Financial Condition
- -------------------

         The  Bank's  total  assets   increased   $9,404,749,   or  3.0%,   from
$313,199,513 as of June 30, 1999, to $322,604,262 as of December 31, 1999.

         Interest-bearing  deposits in other  financial  institutions  decreased
$4,113,644,  or 51.2% from  $8,032,473  as of June 30, 1999, to $3,918,829 as of
December 31, 1999, as the funds were used to fund new loans.

         Securities  available-for-sale  decreased  $1,536,110,  or  17.2%  from
$8,951,175 as of June 30, 1999,  to $7,415,065 as of December 31, 1999.  This is
primarily  due to the  decrease  in fair  value of  various  equity  securities.
Securities   held-to-maturity   decreased  due  to   maturities   and  principal
repayments,  by $5,823,367,  or 37.8%,  from $15,394,643 as of June 30, 1999, to
$9,571,276 as of December 31, 1999.  The Bank continues to hold 96,000 shares of
Federal Home Loan  Corporation  ("FHLMC") stock with a amortized cost of $94,000
in  the  available-for-sale  category.  As  of  December  31,  1999,  the  gross
unrealized  gain on the stock was  $4,518,000,  a decrease from $5,474,000 as of
June 30, 1999.

         Net  loans   receivable   increased  by  $20,946,476,   or  7.9%,  from
$263,499,778, as of June 30, 1999, to $284,446,254, as of December 31, 1999, and
loans held-for-sale decreased by $273,141, or 35.5% from $769,074 as of June 30,
1999 to $495,933 as of December 31, 1999.  Growth  consisted of loans secured by
both owner and non-owner  occupied  residential real estate,  which increased by
$10,293,000.  In addition  construction loans increased by $3,831,000.  This was
primarily due to an increase of $4,457,000 in loans for the  construction of 1-4
family  units.  Growth  in loans  receivable  is  anticipated  to  continue  and
represents a major part of the Bank's planned assets growth.

         Allowance for loan losses increased  $85,554 or 3.6% from $2,349,328 of
June 30, 1999, to $2,434,882  as of December 31, 1999.  The allowance  increased
mainly due to an increase in the  provision  for loan losses.  The allowance for
loan  losses  as of  December  31,  1999 and June 30,  1999 was  .86%,  and .89%
respectively,  of net loans outstanding.  As of December 31, 1999, the allowance
for loan losses was 167.6% of impaired loans versus 259.3% as of June 30, 1999.

         Fair value of foreclosed assets  held-for-sale  decreased $101,546 from
$101,546 as of June 30, 1999,  to $0 as of December 31, 1999.  This decrease was
due to the sale of all foreclosed assets. The Bank recorded a gain of $13,372 on
the sale of these assets.

         Deposits increased $2,059,190 or 1.5%, from $141,137,154 as of June 30,
1999, to $143,196,344 as of December 31, 1999. For the six months ended December
31, 1999, checking and passbook accounts increased by $1,007,366,  or 2.1% while
certificates of deposits increased by $1,051,824 or 1.1%.

Financial Condition, continued
- ------------------------------

         As a result  of the  increase  in loan  demand  and the  repurchase  of
Company stock, FHLB advances  increased  $11,041,078 or 10.5%, from $104,794,640
as of June 30, 1999,  to  $115,835,718  of December 31, 1999. As of December 31,
1999,  the Bank had the ability to borrow an  additional  $70  million  from the
FHLB.

         Advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance  decreased  $746,344 or
62.4% from  $1,195,545 as of June 30, 1999, to $449,201 as of December 31, 1999.
The  majority of this  decrease is due to the payment of 1999 real estate  taxes
from borrower's escrow accounts.

         Stockholders' equity (including  unrealized  appreciation on securities
available-for-sale,  net of tax) decreased $2,743,524, or 4.3%, from $63,433,222
as of June 30, 1999, to $60,689,698  as of December 31, 1999.  This decrease was
due to several factors.  During this period a total of 256,625 shares of Company
stock were repurchased in the open market at a cost of $3,060,863.  In addition,
dividends  in the  amount of  $1,031,250  ($0.20 per share)  were  declared  and
payable,  at September 30, 1999, to  stockholders'  of record as of September 7,
1999.   There  was  also  a  decrease   in  the   unrealized   appreciation   on
available-for-sale  securities of $752,788. On a per share basis,  stockholders'
equity  increased  from $11.98 as of June 30, 1999 to $12.02 as of December  31,
1999.

Analysis of Core Earnings
- -------------------------

         The Company's  profitability  is primarily  dependent upon net interest
income,  which  represents  the difference  between  interest and fees earned on
loans and debt and equity  securities,  and the cost of deposits and borrowings.
Net interest income is dependent on the difference  between the average balances
and rates earned on  interest-earning  assets and the average balances and rates
paid  on  interest-bearing  liabilities.  Net  income  is  further  affected  by
non-interest income, non-interest expense, and income taxes.

         The  following  table sets forth  certain  information  relating to the
Company's average  consolidated  statements of financial  condition and reflects
the average  yield on assets and  average  cost of  liabilities  for the periods
indicated.  Such  yields  and costs are  derived by  dividing  income or expense
annualized by the average  balance of assets or liabilities,  respectively,  for
the periods shown.  Average  balances were derived from average daily  balances.
The  average   balance  of  loans  includes  loans  on  which  the  Company  has
discontinued  accruing  interest.  The yields and costs  include  fees which are
considered adjustments to yields.

         Net income for the three months and six months ended  December 31, 1999
was $841,519 and $1,701,617 as compared to $820,429 and $1,618,532 for the three
months and six months ended  December 31, 1998 which  represents  an increase in
earnings  of  $21,090 or 2.6% for the three  month  period,  and a  increase  in
earnings of $83,085 or 5.1% for the six month period.

Interest Income
- ---------------

         Total  interest  income  for the  three  months  and six  months  ended
December  31,  1999,  increased  $549,112  or 10.6% and  $1,177,017  or 11.6% as
compared to the three months and six months ended December 31, 1998. For the six
month period ended  December 31, 1999  compared to the same period in 1998,  the
average  yield on interest  earning  assets  decreased 18 basis points to 7.49%,
while the average balance of interest earnings assets increased $37,831,000 over
the same period one year ago.

Interest Expense
- ----------------

         Total  interest  expense  for the three  months  and six  months  ended
December  31,  1999,  increased  $431,092  or 16.0% and  $913,903  or 17.6% when
compared to the three months and six months ended December 31, 1998. For the six
month  period  ended  December  31,  1999 the average  cost of interest  bearing
liabilities  decreased  14 basis  points  to 5.02%  while  the  average  balance
increased $42,068,000, when compared to the same period in 1998.

same  period in 1998.  For the six month  period  ended  December  31,  1999 the
increases in average  balances of interest  earning assets and interest  bearing
liabilities  discussed above  contributed to the increase in net interest income
by approximately  $366,000. This was offset by the decrease in net earning yield
by 4 basis  points  which  resulted  in a  decrease  in net  interest  income of
approximately $103,000 for the same period.

Provision for Loan Losses
- -------------------------

         Based  primarily  on  the  continued   growth  of  the  loan  portfolio
management  decided to increase the  allowance  for loan loss reserve  through a
provision  for loan loss of $45,000  and  $90,000  for the three  months and six
months ended  December 31, 1999,  respectively,  compared to $45,000 and $90,000
for the same period in 1998. The Bank will continue to monitor its allowance for
loan  losses  and  make  future  additions  based  on  economic  and  regulatory
conditions. Although the Bank maintains its allowance for loan losses at a level
which it considers to be sufficient to provide for potential  losses,  there can
be no  assurance  that future  losses  will not exceed  internal  estimates.  In
addition,  the amount of the  allowance  for loan losses is subject to review by
regulatory  agencies  which can  order  the  establishment  of  additional  loss
provisions.

Noninterest Income
- ------------------

         Noninterest income decreased $10,607, or 3.5% and increased $91,823, or
16.0% for the three months and six months ended December 31, 1999, when compared
to the three months and six months ended December 31, 1998. The decrease for the
three months  ended  December  31, 1999 was  primarily  due to losses on sale of
premises and  equipment  during the period of $64,000,  the increase for the six
ended was primarily due to a increase in checking account service charges, which
increased  $132,637 or 31.1% for the six months ended  December  31, 1999,  when
compared to the same period in 1998.

Noninterest Expense
- -------------------

         Noninterest  expense  increased  $43,468,  or 2.9% for the three months
ended  December 31, 1999,  and  increased  $166,572,  or 5.7% for the six months
ending  December 31, 1999 when compared to the three months and six months ended
December 31, 1998.  In general this  increase can be  attributed  to the overall
increase in accounts served. There were no significant changes in any individual
expense category.

Provision for Income Taxes
- --------------------------

         There was a $42,855 and $105,280  increase in the  provision for income
taxes for the three months and six months ended  December 31, 1999,  as compared
to the same period in 1998.  This increase was due to the increase in before tax
income for the three months and six months ended December 31, 1999,  compared to
the same period in 1998.

         The allowance for loan losses is calculated based upon an evaluation of
pertinent  factors  underlying  the  various  types and  quality  of the  loans.
Management  considers  such  factors  as the  repayment  status  of a loan,  the
estimated net  realizable  value of the  underlying  collateral,  the borrower's
intent and ability to repay the loan,  local economic  conditions and the Bank's
historical loss ratios.  The Bank's allowance for loan losses as of December 31,
1999, was  $2,434,882 or 0.9% of loans  receivable.  Total assets  classified as
substandard  or loss as of December 31, 1999,  were  $3,324,400 or 1.0% of total
assets.  Management has considered  nonperforming and total classified assets in
evaluating the adequacy of the Bank's allowance for loan losses.

         The ratio of  nonperforming  assets to total  assets is another  useful
tool in  evaluating  exposure to credit risk.  Nonperforming  assets of the Bank
include  nonperforming  loans  (nonaccruing  loans) and  assets  which have been
acquired as a result of foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.

Asset/Liability Management
- --------------------------

         The goal of the  Bank's  asset/liability  policy is to manage  interest
rate risk so as to maximize net interest  income over time in changing  interest
rate  environments.  Management  monitors the Bank's net  interest  spreads (the
difference  between  yields  received  on assets and paid on  liabilities)  and,
although  constrained by market  conditions,  economic  conditions,  and prudent
underwriting  standards,  it offers  deposit  rates and loan rates  designed  to
maximize net interest income. Management also attempts to fund the Bank's assets
with  liabilities  of a  comparable  duration to minimize the impact of changing
interest rates on the Bank's net interest income. Since the relative spread


                                       17

                        GUARANTY FEDERAL BANCSHARES, INC.

between  financial  assets and  liabilities is constantly  changing,  the Bank's
current net  interest  income may not be an  indication  of future net  interest
income.

         The  Bank's  initial  efforts  to manage  interest  rate risk  included
implementing an adjustable  rate mortgage loan ("ARM") program  beginning in the
early 1980s. The ARMs have met with excellent  customer  acceptance.  As of June
30, 1999, ARMs  constituted  59.3% of the Bank's mortgage loan portfolio.  As of
December 31,  1999,  ARMs  represent  60.5% of the loan  portfolio.  Of the ARMs
originated  during the first  quarter of fiscal year 2000,  borrowers  preferred
initial  fixed rate  periods of three or five years.  The Bank has  continued to
fund fixed rate loans through a program of borrowing  longer-term funds from the
FHLB.

         The Bank is also  managing  interest  rate risk by the  origination  of
construction  loans.  As of December 31,  1999,  such loans made up 10.1% of the
Bank's loan  portfolio.  In general,  these  loans have higher  yields,  shorter
maturities and greater interest rate sensitivity than other real estate loans.

         The Bank  constantly  monitors  its  deposits  in an effort to decrease
their interest rate sensitivity.  Rates of interest paid on deposits at the Bank
are priced competitively in order to meet the Bank's asset/liability  management
objectives  and spread  requirements.  As of June 30, 1999,  the Bank's  savings
accounts,   checking  accounts,   and  money  market  deposit  accounts  totaled
$46,736,183  or 33.1% of its  total  deposits.  As of  December  31,1999,  these
accounts  totaled  $47,743,549  or 33.4% of total  deposits.  The Bank believes,
based on  historical  experience,  that a  substantial  portion of such accounts
represents non-interest rate sensitive, core deposits.

         The value of the Bank's loan  portfolio  will change as interest  rates
change.  Rising  interest  rates will decrease the Bank's net  portfolio  value,
while falling interest rates increase the value of that portfolio.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis
- ----------------------------------

         The  following  table sets  forth as of  September  30,  1999 (the most
recent  available),  the OTS estimate of the projected  changes in net portfolio
value ("NPV") in the event of 100, 200, and 300 basis point ("bp") instantaneous
and permanent  increases and decreases in market interest rates.  Dollar amounts
are expressed in thousands.

         Computations  of  prospective  effects of  hypothetical  interest  rate
changes are  calculated  by the OTS from data provided by the Bank and are based
on numerous  assumptions,  including  relative  levels of market interest rates,
loan  repayments  and  deposit  run-offs,  and  should  not be  relied  upon  as
indicative of actual results.  Further,  the computations do not contemplate any
actions the Bank may undertake in response to changes in interest rates.

         Management  cannot predict future interest rates or their effect on the
Bank's NPV in the future.  Certain  shortcomings  are  inherent in the method of
analysis  presented in the  computation  of NPV. For example,  although  certain
assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they
may  react  in  differing   degrees  to  changes  in  market   interest   rates.
Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable rate loans, which represent the
Bank's  primary loan product,  have an initial fixed rate period  typically from
one to five  years  and over the  remaining  life of the  asset  changes  in the
interest rate are  restricted.  In addition,  the proportion of adjustable  rate
loans  in  the  Bank's  portfolio  could  decrease  in  future  periods  due  to
refinancing  activity if market interest rates remain or decrease in the future.
Further,  in the  event of a change  in  interest  rates,  prepayment  and early
withdrawal levels could deviate  significantly  from those assumed in the table.
Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their adjustable-rate debt may
decrease in the event of an interest rate increase.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis, continued
- ---------------------------------------------

         The Bank's Board of Directors is  responsible  for  reviewing the asset
and liability  policies.  The Board meets quarterly to review interest rate risk
and trends, as well as liquidity and capital ratios and requirements. The Bank's
management is responsible for administering  the policies and  determinations of
the Board of Directors with respect to the Bank's asset and liability  goals and
strategies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

         The  Bank's  primary  sources  of funds  are  deposits,  principal  and
interest  payments on loans and  securities  and  extensions  of credit from the
Federal  Home  Loan  Bank of Des  Moines.  While  scheduled  loan  and  security
repayments and the maturity of short-term  investments are somewhat  predictable
sources of funding,  deposit  flows are  influenced  by many factors  which make
their  cash  flows  difficult  to  anticipate.   Office  of  Thrift  Supervision
regulations  require the Bank to maintain  cash and eligible  investments  in an
amount equal to at least 4% of customer  accounts and  short-term  borrowings to
assure its ability to meet demands for  withdrawals  and repayment of short-term
borrowings. As of December 31, 1999, the Bank's liquidity ratio was 10.6%, which
exceeded the minimum regulatory requirement.

         The Bank  uses its  liquidity  resources  principally  to  satisfy  its
ongoing  commitments  which include funding loan  commitments,  funding maturing
certificates of deposit as well as deposit withdrawals,  maintaining  liquidity,
purchasing investments, and meeting operating expenses. As of December 31, 1999,
the Bank had approximately $2,354,000 in commitments to originate mortgage loans
and $15,260,000 in loans-in-process on mortgage loans. These commitments will be
funded  through  existing  cash  balances,  cash flow from  operations  and,  if
required,  FHLB advances . Management  believes that  anticipated cash flows and
deposit growth will be adequate to meet the Bank's liquidity needs.

         The Company believes successful remediation of mission-critical systems
has been  completed  in a timely  manner.  The Company has not  experienced  any
significant   operational  or  financial  problems  related  to  the  Year  2000
compliance. Management presently believes that the Year 2000 Issue will not pose
any future operational problems.

                      CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT


         THIS CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT  ("Agreement")  entered into
this 1st day of January 2000 ("Effective Date"), by and between Guaranty Federal
Savings Bank (the "Bank") and James E. Haseltine (the "Executive").

         WHEREAS,  the Executive is currently  employed by the Bank as President
and is experienced in the business of the Bank; and

         WHEREAS, the parties desire by this writing to set forth the rights and
responsibilities  of the Bank and Executive if the Bank should  undergo a change
in control (as defined hereinafter in the Agreement) after the Effective Date.

         NOW, THEREFORE, it is AGREED as follows:

         1.  Employment.  The  Executive  is  employed  in the  capacity  as the
President  of the Bank.  The  Executive  shall  render such  administrative  and
management services to the Bank and Guaranty Federal Bancshares, Inc. ("Parent")
as are currently  rendered and as are customarily  performed by persons situated
in a similar executive  capacity.  The Executive's other duties shall be such as
the Board of Directors  for the Bank (the "Board of  Directors"  or "Board") may
from time to time reasonably  direct,  including  normal duties as an officer of
the Bank and the Parent.

         2.  Term of  Agreement.  The  term of this  Agreement  shall be for the
period  commencing  on the  Effective  Date and ending  thirty-six  (36)  months
thereafter ("Term").

         3.  Termination  of Employment  in  Connection  with or Subsequent to a
Change in Control.

         (a) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary,  in the event
of the involuntary  termination of Executive's  employment under this Agreement,
absent Just Cause, in connection with, or within  twenty-four (24) months after,
any Change in Control of the Bank or Parent,  Executive  shall be paid an amount
equal to two (2.0)  times the  Executives  "base  amount"  as defined in Section
280G(b)(3)  of the  Internal  Revenue  Code of  1986  ("Code"),  and  the  costs
associated  with  maintaining  coverage  under the  Bank's  medical  and  dental
insurance  reimbursement  plans  similar  to  that  in  effect  on the  date  of
termination of employment for a period of two years  thereafter.  Said sum shall
be paid, at the option of  Executive,  either in one (1) lump sum not later than
the date of such termination of employment or in periodic payments over the next
24 months, as if Executive's employment had not been terminated. Notwithstanding
the forgoing,  all sums payable hereunder shall be reduced in such manner and to
such extent so that no such payments made  hereunder  when  aggregated  with all
other  payments to be made to the  Executive  by the Bank or the Parent shall be
deemed an "excess parachute payment" in accordance with Section 280G of the Code
and be subject to the excise tax  provided at Section  4999(a) of the

                                       1
<PAGE>

Code.  The term  "change in  control"  shall  refer to (i) the sale of all, or a
material  portion,  of the assets of the Bank or the Parent;  (ii) the merger or
recapitalization of the Bank or the Parent whereby the Bank or the Parent is not
the surviving  entity;  (iii) a change in control of the Bank or the Parent,  as
otherwise  defined  or  determined  by  the  Office  of  Thrift  Supervision  or
regulations promulgated by it; or (iv) the acquisition,  directly or indirectly,
of the  beneficial  ownership  (within the meaning of that term as it is used in
Section  13(d)  of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of  1934  and  the  rules  and
regulations  promulgated thereunder) of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the
outstanding  voting  securities of the Bank or the Parent by any person,  trust,
entity or group.  This  limitation  shall not apply to the purchase of shares by
underwriters  in connection  with a public  offering of Bank or Parent stock, or
the  purchase of shares of up to 25% of any class of  securities  of the Bank or
Parent by a  tax-qualified  employee stock benefit plan which is exempt from the
approval  requirements,  set forth under 12 C.F.R.  ss.574.3(c)(1)(vi) as now in
effect or as may hereafter be amended. The term "person" refers to an individual
or  a  corporation,   partnership,  trust,  association,  joint  venture,  pool,
syndicate, sole proprietorship, unincorporated organization or any other form of
entity not specifically listed herein.

              (b)  Notwithstanding  any other provision of this Agreement to the
contrary,  Executive may voluntarily  terminate his employment  within 24 months
following  a change  in  control  of the Bank or  Parent,  and  Executive  shall
thereupon  be entitled to receive the payment  described in Section 3(a) of this
Agreement,  upon the occurrence,  or within 120 days  thereafter,  of any of the
following  events,  which have not been consented to in advance by the Executive
in writing: (i) if Executive would be required to move his personal residence or
perform his principal  executive functions more than thirty-five (35) miles from
the Executive's  primary office as of the signing of this Agreement;  (ii) if in
the organizational  structure of the Bank, Executive would be required to report
to a person or persons  other than the Board of Directors of the Bank;  (iii) if
the Bank should fail to maintain  Executive's base  compensation in effect as of
the date of the Change in Control  and the  existing  employee  benefits  plans,
including  material fringe benefit,  stock option and retirement  plans; (iv) if
Executive  would be  assigned  duties  and  responsibilities  other  than  those
normally associated with his position as referenced at Section 1, herein; (v) if
Executive's  responsibilities  or  authority  have  in any way  been  materially
diminished or reduced;  or (vi) if Executive would not be reelected to the Board
of Directors of the Bank or the Parent.

         4.       Other Changes in Employment Status.

         Except as provided for at Section 3, herein, the Board of Directors may
terminate  the  Executive's  employment  at any time with or without  Just Cause
within its sole discretion. This Agreement shall not be deemed to give Executive
any right to be  retained  in the  employment  or  service  of the  Bank,  or to
interfere  with  the  right  of the  Bank to  terminate  the  employment  of the
Executive at any time. The Executive shall have no right to receive compensation
or other benefits for any period after  termination for Just Cause.  Termination
for "Just Cause" shall include termination  because of the Executive's  personal
dishonesty, incompetence, willful misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty involving
personal profit, intentional failure to perform stated

                                       2
<PAGE>

duties,  willful  violation of any law, rule or  regulation  (other than traffic
violations or similar  offenses) or final  cease-and-desist  order,  or material
breach of any provision of the Agreement.

         5.       Regulatory Exclusions.

         (a) If the  Executive is removed  and/or  permanently  prohibited  from
participating  in the  conduct of the Bank's  affairs by an order  issued  under
Sections  8(e)(4) or 8(g)(1) of the Federal  Deposit  Insurance Act ("FDIA") (12
U.S.C.  1818(e)(4) and (g)(1)), all obligations of the Bank under this Agreement
shall terminate, as of the effective date of the order, but the vested rights of
the contracting parties shall not be affected.

         (b) If the Bank is in default (as  defined in Section  3(x)(1) of FDIA)
all obligations  under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of default,
but this  paragraph  shall not  affect  any  vested  rights  of the  contracting
parties.

         (c) All obligations under this Agreement shall be terminated, except to
the extent  determined that  continuation of this Agreement is necessary for the
continued  operation  of the Bank:  (i) by the  Director of the Office of Thrift
Supervision  ("Director of OTS"),  or his or her designee,  at the time that the
Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  ("FDIC")  enters into an  agreement to
provide assistance to or on behalf of the Bank under the authority  contained in
Section  13(c)  of  FDIA;  or (ii) by the  Director  of the  OTS,  or his or her
designee,  at the time  that the  Director  of the OTS,  or his or her  designee
approves a supervisory  merger to resolve  problems  related to operation of the
Bank or when  the  Bank is  determined  by the  Director  of the OTS to be in an
unsafe or unsound condition. Any rights of the parties that have already vested,
however, shall not be affected by such action.

         (d) If the Executive is suspended  and/or  temporarily  prohibited from
participating  in the  conduct of the Bank's  affairs by a notice  served  under
Section  8(e)(3) or (g)(1) of the FDIA (12 U.S.C.  1818(e)(3)  and (g)(1)),  the
Bank's  obligations  under the  Agreement  shall be  suspended as of the date of

shall  not  knowingly  disclose  or  reveal  to  any  unauthorized   person  any
Confidential  Information  relating to the Bank, the Parent, or any subsidiaries
or affiliates,  or to any of the businesses  operated by them, and the Executive

subsidiaries, or affiliates, or (b) in a manner which is inimical or contrary to
the interests of the Bank or the Parent.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that
the  existence  of this  Agreement  and its  terms  and  conditions  constitutes
Confidential  Information of the Bank, and the

                                       4

written consent of the Bank.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  the Bank reserves
the right in its sole  discretion  to make  disclosure  of this  Agreement as it
deems  necessary or  appropriate  in compliance  with its  regulatory  reporting
requirements.  Notwithstanding  anything herein to the contrary,  failure by the
Executive  to comply  with the  provisions  of this  Section  may  result in the
immediate  termination of the Agreement  within the sole discretion of the Bank,
disciplinary  action against the Executive taken by the Bank,  including but not
limited to the  termination  of  employment  of the  Executive for breach of the
Agreement and the  provisions of this  Section,  and other  remedies that may be
available in law or in equity.

         12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement together with any understanding or
modifications  thereof as agreed to in writing by the parties,  shall constitute
the entire agreement between the parties hereto.  This Agreement  supercedes any
prior written Employment Agreement or Severance Agreements between the Executive
and the Bank or the Parent.
