(1) Mr. Cullom has an employment contract with the Bank whereby
his initial base annual salary is $90,000. In addition to the
annual salary, he is entitled to non-cumulative annual cash
bonuses of $5,000 when the annual after taxes return on assets
reaches one-fourth of one percent, $20,000 when the annual
after taxes return on assets reaches one-half of one percent
and $30,000 when the annual after taxes return on assets
reaches one percent. The bonus earned in 1993 was paid in 1994
and 1994 was paid in 1995. Also as part of his employment
agreement, in the event Mr. Cullom is terminated without good
cause, he shall be entitled to receive one year annual salary
as severance pay.
(2) Represents director fees.
(3) In addition to the cash bonuses above, Mr. Cullom was entitled
to receive additional cash bonuses of ten percent of any
principal reduction of Bancshares debt paid out of earnings
of the Bank or any principal reduction not paid out of Bank
earnings if such reduction is substantially contributed by his
initiative or effort. Accordingly, with the liquidation of
Bancshares corporate debt in 1992, Mr. Cullom was paid
$149,754.
In addition, the Bank paid approximately $529, in term life
insurance premiums on behalf of Mr. Cullom for each of the
years 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. This group policy
has no cash surrender value.
The Bank has instituted an unqualified defined benefit
retirement program for three of its executive officers, as follows:

(1) Benefits payable to the participant's named beneficiaries.
(2) Benefits payable monthly for life, 15 years certain.
These benefits are funded by single premium life insurance
policies on the lives of the participants. The policies are owned
by the Bank and the proceeds from death benefits are payable to the
Bank. Projected December 31, 1995 death benefits are as follows:
Mr. Cullom - $835,000, Mr. Ringeman - $317,000, and Mr. Dutreix -
$377,000.
If the Bank terminates a participant's employment prior to his
planned retirement date for cause, the participant shall not be
entitled to any benefits. If employment is terminated prior to his
planned retirement date, other than by death or discharge for
cause, the Bank shall pay to the participant an amount which is the
actuarial equivalent of his annual retirement benefit, computed in
accordance with the agreement.
If a participant's employment is terminated within twenty four
(24) months following a change in control of the Bank, the
participant will be entitled to the benefits set forth in the
preceding paragraph with the respective benefits being increased
in amount by fifty (50%) percent.
Bancshares and the Bank have no established policy or practice
with respect to providing personal benefits to officers, directors
or principal stockholders. Although the Bank pays for civic and
social club memberships for certain officers, the aggregate annual
value per person of such benefits is considerably less than $2,500.
Neither Bancshares nor the Bank has any other remuneration,
pension or retirement plans in effect. The Bank provides health
and life insurance coverage for all employees.
Other Transactions
During 1994, the Bank engaged in banking transactions in the
ordinary course of business with directors and officers of
Bancshares and the Bank, and their associates, and expects to have
such transactions in the future. In the opinion of Management, all
such transactions were on substantially the same terms, including
interest rates and collateral on loans, as those prevailing at the
same time for comparable transactions with others and did not
involve more than normal risk of collectibility or present other
unfavorable features.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The consolidated financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 1994, are incorporated herein by reference. A copy
of such Annual Report is being mailed with this Proxy Statement to
each shareholder of record on the record date for the annual
meeting.

ended December 31, 1994, were audited by the firm of Darnall,

financial statements, such firm will remain as Bancshares' auditors
until replaced by the Board of Directors. Representatives of
Darnall, Sikes, Kolder, Frederick & Rainey are expected to be
present at the annual meeting, with the opportunity to make any
statement they desire at that time, and will be available to
respond to appropriate questions.

THE ATTACHED PROXY IS SOLICITED BY MANAGEMENT.
BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Wiley Magee
Corporate Secretary
April 1, 1995
ANNUAL REPORT
To Our Stockholders,
This is the time of year when we assess the progress your
company has made toward meeting the financial and corporate goals
set by your management and stockholders and determine what kind of
company we are, what kind of company we are building and what
opportunities are presented.
In our letter to you last year, we reported that prior years'
earnings were used to eliminate all corporate debt, to rebuild
stockholders' equity and to pay dividends to the holders of $2.70
Cumulative Preferred Stock. Another dividend, although smaller,
was paid in January 1995.
During 1994 we experienced a number of events important to your
company.
- earnings, exclusive of accounting changes and extraordinary
items, were up.
- total assets rebounded to the highest level since 1989.
- loans, the primary source of income, increased $2.9 million
over year end 1993 and $7.1 million over 1992.
- rates on investments and loans increased, and finally
- Guaranty Bank & Trust Company has received approval for a
branch in Lafayette, Louisiana
Consolidated net income totaled $508,000, compared with
$1,079,000 in 1993 and $597,000 in 1992. However, 1993 included
$674,000 from the change in treatment of income taxes and 1992
included $489,000 in extraordinary items relating to refunds of
prior years' income taxes. Without these one time occurrences,
1994 operating net income compares favorably with $405,000 in 1993
and $108,000 in 1992.
Operating expenses declined for the third year and were below
1990 levels. Net interest income improved $83,000 to $2,463,000,
primarily the result of increased loan activity. The combined
effect of low cost of funds, increased average loans outstanding
and slightly higher average yields on investments, contributed to
this higher net interest income.
Total assets at year end increased $5.7 million to $60.7
million, of this increase in assets, $3.8 million was in interest
earning assets. Asset quality measures improved again in 1994,
following similar increases in 1993. Average earning assets as a
percent of total assets improved. Repossessed real estate of
$34,000 at December 31, 1993 was sold early in 1994. Late in 1994
the Bank repossessed 35 acres of land, carried at $80,000 at year
end. This property was sold in early March of this year.
Non performing loans on non-accrual status were only $30,000,
down from $36,000 in 1993 and represented less than 0.1% of
outstanding loans. Delinquent loans, i.e. those loans past due 30
days or more and still accruing interest, amounted to 1.3% of
outstanding loans. The Bank made no provision for loan losses in
1994 and, considering the quality of the portfolio, recovered
$180,000 from the allowance for loan losses. The Bank made no loan
loss provision in 1993 and only $20,000 in 1992. The Bank has had
$103,000 in net recoveries of previously charged off loans in the
last three years.
Over the last several years, your management held the opinion
that interest rates, which had trended downward, would stabilize
and then begin a sharp upward swing. As an extension of this
belief, securities were reinvested with short maturities, resulting
in a low average lived portfolio. Approximately $14 million of the
$16.7 million investment portfolio will mature or reprice during
1995. Considering the present level of investment yields, this
investment policy will prove to be very advantageous as these short
lived securities mature and are reinvested at much higher yields.
Finally, the Bank has received regulatory approval to open a
branch office in Lafayette, Louisiana. This location will allow
Guaranty Bank & Trust Company to take advantage of that rapidly
growing deposit and loan market. We anticipate opening this new
branch in April.
The success enjoyed in recent years was the result of the
support of our many customers and stockholders. All of these
individuals and companies have earned our thanks. By your ongoing
support, you have allowed your company to build long term value in
your investment. On behalf of the Board of Directors, management
and staff, I express my sincere appreciation for the trust and
faith you have placed in us over the years. We look forward to
another successful year.

GUARANTY BANCSHARES HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Guaranty Bancshares Holding Corporation's (Bancshares) net
operating income for 1994 was $508,000, compared with $405,000 in
1993, before the $674,000 cumulative effect of adopting Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income
Taxes", and $108,000 in 1992, before extraordinary items relating
to refunds of prior years' income taxes. These extraordinary items
amounted to $489,000 in 1992. Net income of $508,000 in 1994
compares with $1,079,000 in 1993 and $597,000 in 1992. Earnings
per common share were $.28, $1.80 and $.51 for 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively. Return on average assets was 0.89% for the current
year, 1.92% for 1993 and 1.05% for 1992. Return on average equity
was 10.16% in 1994, 23.1% in 1993 and 15.0% in 1992.
At December 31, 1994 Bancshares and its subsidiaries had total
assets of $60,687,000 and deposits of $51,498,000, compared with
assets and deposits of $54,952,000 and $47,053,000 in 1993 and
$58,419,000 and $52,251,000 in 1992. Total assets and deposits
were lower at year end 1993 from 1992 because of the unusual surge
of hurricane damage related funds which flowed through the
community in late 1992.
Bancshares' principal subsidiary, Guaranty Bank & Trust Company
operates two banking offices in East St. Mary Parish, Louisiana,
with 29 full time and 2 part time employees.
Net interest income was $2,463,000, 3.5% and 17.7% higher than in
1993 and 1992. Other income was $364,000 in 1994, down from
$445,000 in 1993 and up $20,000 from 1992. Non performing loans
at December 31, 1994 were $30,000, down from $36,000 in 1993 and
amounted to less than 0.1% of outstanding loans. Foreclosed real
estate at December 31, 1994 was $80,000, up from $34,000 in 1993
and $78,000 in 1992. The allowance for loan losses was 1.44% of
loans as of December 31, 1994 versus 1.95% in 1993 and 1.97% in
1992. Recoveries from previously charged off loans exceeded 1994
charge offs by $61,000. At December 31, 1994, Bancshares' leverage
ratio was 9.1% and stockholders' equity as a percent of total
assets was 8.5%. The risk-based capital ratio was 10.9%.
Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and
results of operations should be read in conjunction with the
accompanying consolidated financial statements, related notes, and
the consolidated selected financial data presented in this report.
NET OPERATING RESULTS
Bancshare' consolidated net interest income was $2,463,000 in 1994,
compared with $2,380,000 in 1993 and $2,092,000 in 1992. These
increases were primarily due to changes in the level of loans
outstanding, offset by lower securities investments and higher
interest paid on other time deposits and borrowed funds. Daily
average interest earning assets increased $712,000 and interest
bearing liabilities increased $919,000. Average rates earned
increased 0.4% while average rates paid increased 0.3% from 1993
levels. During 1993 rates earned decreased 0.4% while average
rates paid decreased 1.0% from 1992.
The increase in average interest earning assets in 1994 was
primarily in loans. Average loans increased $3,842,000 over 1993
while average investments declined $2,268,000. This shift in
investment emphasis was begun in 1993 when the Bank began actively
soliciting loans and emphasizing business development.
The increase in average interest bearing liabilities was in other
time deposits, primarily certificates of deposit and in borrowing
from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas. The banking industry
created a favorable interest rate market and some of the deposits
which had sought better rates outside of the industry returned.
Also, the Bank actively pursued deposits to fund loans.
The capital lease initiated in June 1991 was outstanding for the
entire years 1994, 1993 and 1992. This capital lease is related
to the sale/lease back transactions on the Bank's office building.
(See note 16 to the financial statements.)
Changes in the composition of the deposit structure and generally
higher rates paid increased the amount paid on deposits by $90,000,
following $464,000 decrease in 1993 from 1992 levels.
Interest on the demand notes payable increased $73,000 from 1993.
This is the result of increased Bank borrowing from the Federal
Home Loan Bank of Dallas to fund commercial real estate loans which
have comparable scheduled amortizations.
As indicated in the following table, average balances of Bancshares
available funds have reversed earlier downward trends. Average
available funds increased $385,000 in 1994 following declines of
$1,254,000 in 1993 and $1,056,000 in 1992.

During 1994, available yields in investment securities increased
and loan demand increased, although the Bank's average loan yields
were slightly lower. Interest differentials increased as the
composition of earning assets changed toward a greater proportion
of loans.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES AND NON-PERFORMING LOANS
The provision for loan losses is the expense recorded to maintain
the allowance for loan losses at a level which in management's
judgment will be adequate to absorb probable losses in existing
loans which may become uncollectible.
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans, less
unearned income, outstanding at year-end is as follows: (In
thousands of dollars)
Provision
For
Allowance Allowance Net Loans (Recovered
Loans For Loan As A % Of Charged Off From) Loan
Outstanding Losses Loans (Recovered) Losses
1994 $ 34,775 $ 502 1.44% $ (61) $ (180)
1993 31,888 621 1.95% (75) -
1992 27,665 546 1.97% 117 20
Considering the low level of non-performing loans and
delinquencies, the Bank recovered $180,000 from the allowance for
loan losses in 1994, made no provision for loan losses in 1993 and
provided only $20,000 in 1992. Non-performing loans on non-accrued
status decreased $6,000 to approximately $30,000 at year end 1994,
compared with $36,000 and $33,000 at December 31, 1993 and 1992,
respectively.
At any given date, the amount of the allowance for loan losses will
be less than the total of loans outstanding to borrowers who are
experiencing varying degrees of financial difficulty. This is
because experience has shown that the probability of all these
loans becoming completely uncollectible is remote. Therefore,
management determines a lesser amount which is believed to be
sufficient to absorb loan losses.
The evaluation of our loan portfolio to establish the allowance
level includes specific review of all loans criticized during
internal reviews, by regulatory examination and all delinquent
loans. Management considers the allowance for loan losses adequate
to cover losses on the loans outstanding as of each reporting date.
It must be emphasized that the determination of the allowance for
loan losses using the Bank's procedures and methods rests upon
various judgments and assumptions. The factors which influence
management's judgment in determining the level of the allowance for
loan losses and the amount which is charged to operating expenses
are: (1) past loan loss experience, (2) composition of the loan
portfolio, (3) evaluation of future losses, (4) current economic
conditions, (5) specific identification and anticipation of
problem and non-performing loans, and (6) other relevant factors
affecting loans.
No assurance can be given that the Bank will not in any particular
period sustain loan losses which are sizable in relation to the
amount reserved or that subsequent evaluations of the loan
portfolio, in light of conditions and factors then prevailing, will
not require significant changes in the allowance for loan losses.
OTHER INCOME
Other operating income was approximately $364,000 during 1994,
compared with $445,000 in 1993 and $344,000 in 1992. There were
no securities gains in 1994, following $37,000 in 1993 and $19,000
in 1992. Gains on the sale of repossessed property contributed
approximately $6,000 to the level of other operating income in 1994
compared with $91,000 in 1993. Service charges on deposit accounts
continued to decline slightly from 1993 and 1992 levels. The
slight increase in insurance commissions and other service charges
and fees was primarily attributable to a recovery in consumer loan
activity.
OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES
Other operating expenses totaled $2,213,000 in 1994, compared with
$2,237,000 in 1993, a $24,000 decrease, following a $39,000
decrease in 1993 from 1992. The following Analysis of Other
Operating Expenses details the major categories of other operating
expenses. Personnel expense, which normally comprises
approximately one-half of other expenses, totaled $972,000,
compared with $954,000 in 1993, and a $23,000 increase from 1992.
Net occupancy, computer and equipment expense decreased a net total
of $19,000 from 1993 and increased $1,000 from 1992.
Expenses related to other real estate and repossessed property, net
of rental income on these properties, increased $4,000, following
the sale of several small parcels of real estate and repossession
of a 34 acre parcel late in 1994. There were no market value
adjustments in 1994, 1993 or 1992. Aggregate related expenses,
such as taxes, insurance and losses on sales of these properties,
totaled $12,000 in 1994, compared with $10,000 in 1993 and $23,000
in 1992. Rental income on these properties totaled $4,000 in 1994
and $6,000 in 1993 and 1992.
Professional fees and services, primarily legal and accounting
fees, decreased $32,000 to $128,000 in 1994 following an $11,000
increase in 1993 from 1992.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Principal components of Bancshares' funds management program are
the maintenance of adequate liquidity and the management of rate
sensitive assets and liabilities. These strategies are designed
to integrate sources and investment of funds to assure the Bank's
ability to meet effectively the requirements of customers for loan
and deposit withdrawals. Liquidity management attempts to match
the sources and uses of funds, while interest sensitivity
management attempts to stabilize net interest income during periods
of changing interest rates.
Some liquidity is assured by maintaining marketable assets which
may immediately be converted into cash, by receipt of loan
repayments, and by the maturity of other earning assets. Liquidity
from liabilities results from the generation of new deposits as
well as short-term purchases of federal funds.
The Bank has $9,318,000 in loans outstanding, including demand
loans with no stated repayments and no stated maturity, scheduled
to mature in 1995 and another $10,553,000 floating rate loans which
reprice annually or more frequently. In addition $10,120,000 of
investment securities will mature in 1995 and another $5,232,000
of floating rate debt securities will reprice within one year.
Federal funds sold can amounted to $2,640,000 on December 31, 1994.
These funds sold can immediately be converted to cash without
interest or principal penalty.
Capital adequacy depends on a variety of interacting factors,
including asset quality, liquidity, economic conditions in the
market served and strength of management. Bancshares' ratio of
stockholders' equity to assets and to total deposits at December
31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 are as follows (in thousands of dollars):
1994 1993 1992
Stockholders' equity $ 5,179 $ 4,780 $ 4,094
Total assets 60,687 54,952 58,419
Total deposits 51,498 47,053 52,251
Ratio of stockholders'
equity to:
Total assets 8.5% 8.7% 7.0%
Total deposits 10.1% 10.2% 7.8%
Bancshares does not have immediate plans for expansion through
acquisitions of other banks or financial institutions, or
commitments for significant capital expenditures. The Bank has
received regulatory approval for an additional branch location.
The anticipated opening date is early 1995.
A new form of capital measurement, risk-based capital, was
implemented by regulatory authorities in recent years. Under this
measure, distinctions are made according to the relative risks
incurred among the various items on and off of the balance sheet.
Under regulatory guidelines, for Guaranty Bancshares, Tier 1
capital represents the sum of stockholders' equity. Total capital
represents Tier 1 capital plus the allowance for loan losses,
subject to limitations defined by regulatory authorities. These are
usually expressed as a percentage of risk-weighted assets. Risk-
weighted assets are the total of assets and off-balance sheet items
which have been weighted based upon risk factors assigned by the
regulatory authorities. Banks and bank holding companies are
considered to be well capitalized with total capital of 10% and
Tier 1 capital of not less than 6%.
Selected capital adequacy measures for Bancshares and Guaranty Bank
are as follows as of December 31, 1994:
Risk-based capital
GUARANTY GUARANTY
BANCSHARES BANK
Tier 1 9.94% 9.90%
Total capital 10.91% 10.86%
Leverage ratio 9.11% 9.05%
Bancshares has declared a $.675 dividend on its $2.70 cumulative
preferred stock, payable January 4, 1995. No dividends have been
declared or paid on its $.50 cumulative preferred stock since their
issuance. As a result, accumulated and unpaid dividends are as
follows:
$2.70 Preferred stock, dividends
accumulated from January 13, 1990
through January 13, 1995 $2,064,957
$.50 Preferred stock, dividends
accumulated from January 13, 1990
through January 13, 1995 58,425
$2,123,382
Bancshares' primary source of income is dividends from the Bank.
FUTURE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING AND INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.109
(Accounting for Income Taxes) which pronouncement requires an asset
and liability approach to account for the effects of income taxes
that result from a company's activities during the current and
preceding years. The pronouncement supersedes the deferral method
of accounting for income taxes. The principal changes in
accounting treatment are differences resulting from net operating
loss carryforwards, tax credit carryforwards, differences due to
book and tax depreciation differences, and basis differences in the
reserve for loan losses. Bancshares' implementation of this change
in accounting treatment resulted in the $674,000 change in
accounting principle reflected in the 1993 statement of income.
EFFECTS OF INFLATION
Due to our size, Bancshares is not required to make price level
disclosures in our financial statements. Although the rate of
inflation has stabilized in recent years, the long-term effects of
previous years continue to impact the Bank's operations. However,
since most of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution
are monetary in nature, changes in interest rates have a much more
significant impact on performance than the effects of general
levels of inflation. Inflation does impact the growth of total
assets in the banking industry and the need to retain earnings to
increase and maintain equity at appropriate capital/asset ratios.
REGULATORY MATTERS
At periodic intervals, examiners from the Louisiana Department of
Financial Institutions and the FDIC routinely examine the Bank's
financial statements as part of their legally prescribed oversight
of the banking industry. Based on these examinations, the
regulators can direct that the Bank's financial statements be
adjusted in accordance with their findings. The regulators have
not proposed significant adjustments to the Bank's financial
statements in prior years. Although no adjustments are
anticipated, in view of the increasingly uncertain regulatory
environment in which the Bank now operates, the extent, if any, of
such adjustments to the 1994 financial statements cannot presently
be determined.

MANAGEMENT STATEMENT
The accompanying financial statements and related financial data
were prepared by management, which is responsible for the integrity
and objectivity of the data presented, including amounts that must
necessarily be based on judgments and estimates. The financial
statements were prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, and in situations where acceptable
alternative accounting principles exist, management selected the
method which was appropriate in the circumstances. All financial
information contained in this annual report is consistent with that
in the financial statements.
Management depends upon Guaranty Bancshares' system of internal
control in meeting its responsibilities for reliable financial
statements. In management's opinion, these systems provide
reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and that
transactions are properly recorded and executed in accordance with
management's authorization. Judgments are required to assess and
balance the relative cost and expected benefits of these controls.
As an integral part of the systems of internal control, Guaranty
Bancshares maintains a professional staff which conducts
operational and special reviews and coordinates audit coverage with
the independent certified public accountants.
The financial statements have been examined by Darnall, Sikes,
Kolder, Frederick & Rainey, independent certified public
accountants, whose independent professional opinion on management's
financial statements appears in the financial statements.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, composed solely of
outside directors, may meet periodically with the independent
certified public accountants and management to review the work of
each and ensure that each is properly discharging its
responsibilities. The independent certified public accountants
have free access to the Committee, to discuss the results of their
audit work and their evaluations of the adequacy of internal
controls and the quality of financial reporting.

GUARANTY BANCSHARES HOLDING CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
For the Years Ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of Guaranty Bancshares Holding Corporation
Morgan City, Louisiana
We have audited the consolidated statements of financial condition
of Guaranty Bancshares Holding Corporation and Subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related consolidated statements of
income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company'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 consolidated
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the consolidated 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 presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the 1994, 1993 and 1992 consolidated financial

Supplemental schedule of noncash investing and financing activities:
During 1992, the Bank foreclosed on a loan which was secured by
stock of Guaranty Bancshares Holding Corporation. This transaction
resulted in a reduction of the $2.70 cumulative preferred stock by $79,249
and the recording of treasury stock in the amount of $15,835.
GUARANTY BANCSHARES HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting and reporting policies of Guaranty Bancshares
Holding Corporation (Bancshares) and its subsidiaries conform with
generally accepted accounting principles and general practices followed
in the banking industry. The principles which significantly affect
the determination of financial position, results of operations and
and cash flows are summarized below:
A. Basis of Accounting
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of Bancshares and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Significant
intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.
B. Investment Securities
On January 1, 1994, Bancshares adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115 "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." SFAS No.
115 requires the classification of securities into one of three
catagories trading, available for sale or held to maturity.
Securities which Bancshares has the intent and ability to
hold for the long-term or until maturity are classified as held
to maturity or held for investment. These securities are stated
at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts using either the interest method or straight-line
method, which produces approximately the same results. Realized
gains or losses are recognized at the time of sale or call of a
security and are shown as a separate component of other income
in the consolidated statements of income.
Securities which may be sold in response to changes in
interest rates, liquidity needs or asset/liability management
strategies are classified as held for sale. These securities are
stated at market. Adjustments to market are shown as a separate
component of stockholders' equity.
Interest earned on investment securities is included in
interest income. Also included in interest income are
amoritization of premiums and accretion of discounts on
investment securities which were computed using the
straight-line method.
C. Loans
Interest income on commercial, real estate, mortgage and
installment loans is accrued based on the principal amounts
outstanding.
Nonperforming loans consist of nonaccrual loans and
restructured loans. Loans past due 90 days or more are
considered to be performing until placed on nonaccrual status.
Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when, in the opinion of
management, there is sufficient uncertainty as to timely
collection of reported earnings of some or all of the
contractual interest. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual
status, interest accrued but not collected is usually reversed
against interest income. Generally, any payments received on
nonaccrual loans are first applied to reduce outstanding
principal amounts. Loans are not reclassified as accruing
until interest and principal payments are brought current
and future payments are reasonably assured.
D. Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is established through a
provision for loan losses charged to expense. The allowance
represents an amount which, in management's judgement, will be
adequate to absorb probable losses on existing loans that may
become uncollectible. Management's judgement in determining the
adequacy of the allowance is based on evaluations of the
collectibility of loans. Ultimate losses may vary from the
current estimates. These estimates are reviewed periodically
and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in
earnings in the periods in which they become known. These
evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in
the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, current economic
conditions that may affect theborrower's ability to pay, overall
portfolio quality, and review of specific problem loans. Loans
are charged against the allowance for loan losses when
management believes that collectibility of the principal is
unlikely.
E. Depreciation
Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less
accumulated depreciation and amortization of $1,267,321 and
$1,037,502 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. For
book purposes, depreciation and amortization are included in
occupancy expense and are computed on the straight line basis
over the useful lives of the assets which range from three to
forty years. For income tax purposes, depreciation of assets
acquired prior to January 1, 1981, is calculated on the
straight-line method and depreciation of assets acquired after
December 31, 1980, is calculated using the Accrelerated Cost
Recovery (ACRS) or Modified Accelerated Costs Recovery (MACRS)
System of the Internal Revenue Service. Maintenance and repairs
which do not extend the life of banking premises and equipement
are charged to operating expenses.
F. Foreclosed Assets
Property acquired through foreclosure is stated at the
lower of the recorded amount of the loan for which the foreclosed
asset served as collateral or the current fair market value.
Fair value is the anticipated sales price of the assets, based
upon independent appraisals and other relevant factors. When a
reduction of the carrying value to the fair value is required at
the time the loan is reclassified as a foreclosed asset, the
difference is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Any
subsequent reductions are charged to nonperforming assets
expense. Revenues and expenses associated with operating or
disposing of foreclosed assets are recorded during the period in
which they are incurred.
G. Income Taxes
Bancshares and its subsidiaries file a consolidated
federal income tax return. The Company has adopted SFAS 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes", to account for deferred income
taxes. Deferred taxes are computed based on the tax liability
or benefit in future years of the reversal of temporary
differences in the recognition of income or deduction of
expenses between financial and tax reporting purposes. The
principal items resulting in the differences are net operating
loss carryforwards, tax credit carryforwards, differences due to
book and tax depreciation differences, and basis difference in
the reserve for loan losses. The net difference between tax
expense and taxes currently payable is reflected in the
statement of financial condition as deferred taxes. Deferred
tax assets and/or liabilities are classified as current and
noncurrent based on the classification of the related asset or
liability for financial reporting purposes, or based on the
expected reversal date for deferred taxes that are not related
to an asset or liability. This change in accounting principle
was appropriately reflected in the 1993 statement of income.
H. Amortization of Debt Discount
Bancshares recorded the issuance of its 10% subordinated
debentures at fair value. The difference between the $27
principal stated value per unit and the fair value was amortized
using the interest method over the twelve year term of the debt.
This debenture debt was extinguished in 1992.
I. Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the Bank
considers cash equivalents to be "cash and due from banks."
J. Earnings Per Common Share
Income for primary earnings per share is adjusted for
preferred stock dividends. Earnings per share are computed based
on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
(2) Cash and Due From Banks
The Bank is required to maintain average reserve balances with
the Federal Reserve Bank. "Cash and due from banks" in the
consolidated statement of financial condition include amounts so
restricted of $206,000 at December 31, 1994.
(3) Investment Securities
In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."
This standard addresses the accounting and reporting for investments in
equity securities which have readily determinable fair values and for all
investments in debt securities. Adoption of the new standard was required
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1993. Bancshares adopted
this statement effective January 1, 1994.
Neither Bancshares nor its subsidiaries engage in securities trading
activities.

from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to
call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment
penalties. During 1994, $350,000 of mortgage-backed securities were
paid out prior to maturity.
(4) Loans
Major classifications of loans at December 31, 1994 and 1993

The Bank has had transactions, in the ordinary course of business,
with officers and directors of Bancshares and of the Bank, their
immediate families and companies of which the directors are principal
owners. All such transactions were on substantially the same terms,
including interest rates and collateral on loans, as those prevailing
at the same time for comparable transactions with others and did not
involve more than normal risk of collectibility or present other
unfavorable features. Loans to these persons and the related
activity for 1994 are summarized as follows:
Balance, January 1, 1994 $1,820,866
Additions 281,346
Payments (644,784)
Balance, December 31, 1994 $1,457,428

The Bank had non-performing loans on non-accrual status
aggregating approximately $30,000 at December 31, 1994 and $36,000 at
December 31, 1993. During the year ended December 31, 1993, the Bank
recognized approximately $1,000 in interest income related to these
loans. No interest income was recognized in 1994 or 1992. Had all
the non-performing loans during the years been accruing interest at
their contracted rates, approximately $3,000 , $5,000 and $75,000 of
additional interest income would have been recognized for 1994, 1993
and 1992, respectively.
A total of $80,000 and $311,360 was transferred from loans to
other real estate in 1993 and 1992, respectively. There were no
transfers to other real estate during 1994.

(8) Stockholders' Equity
On October 31, 1988 Bancshares exchanged approximately 85
percent of its then outstanding 10% subordinated debentures for
Class B common stock and $2.70 cumulative preferred stock.
Bancshares sold 14,700 shares of $.50 cumulative preferred stock and
14,700 shares of Class B common stock in 1989 and 7,200 shares of
$.50 cumulative preferred stock and Class B common stock in 1990
(some of which was sold to Directors of Bancshares). Dividends
required on the cumulative preferred stock at year end are deducted
from the net income to reflect the net income applicable to common
shareholders. No dividends may be paid on common stock until all
unpaid dividends on preferred stock have been paid. The Board of
Directors declared a $.675 dividend on the $2.70 preferred stock, to
be paid on January 4, 1995. The holders of the preferred stock have
no voting rights. In the event of any liquidation or dissolution of
Bancshares, the $2.70 preferred stock shareholders are entitled to
receive $27.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends to the
date of payment, before any distribution may be made to the holders
of the $.50 preferred or common stock and the $.50 preferred
stockholders are entitled to receive $5.00 per share, plus accrued
and unpaid dividends to the date of payment, before any distribution
may be made to the holders of the common stock. The $2.70 cumulative
perferred stock is redeemable in whole or in part at the Company's
option beginning in 1995, providing that all cumulative dividends
have been paid.
The Class B common stock does not differ from the Class A
common stock except that Class A common stock has a par value of $5
per share and Class B common stock has no par value.
(9) Operating Expenses

(computed by applying the U. S. federal corporate tax rate of 34
percent in 1994, 1993 and 1992 to earnings before income taxes) as
follows:
1994 1993 1992
Computed "expected" tax expense $ 269,829 $ 200,315 $ 203,060

At December 31, 1994, Bancshares has net operating loss carryforwards
of approximately $849,000 and $641,000 for income tax and financial
statement purposes, respectively. These carryforwards, if not
utilized to offset taxable income, will expire in years through 2005.
(11) Commitment and Contingent Liabilities
In the normal course of business, the Bank has outstanding
commitments and letters of credit which are not reflected in the
consolidated financial statements. At December 31, 1994 and 1993,
letters of credit outstanding totaled $814,500 and $794,300,
respectively. Management does not expect any loss as a result of
these transactions.
(12) Regulatory Matters
At periodic intervals, both the State Office of Financial
Institutions examiners and the FDIC routinely examine the Bank's
financial statements as part of their legally prescribed oversight
responsibility of the Banking industry. Based on these examinations,
the regulators can direct that the Bank's financial statements be
adjusted in accordance with their findings.
The regulators have not proposed significant adjustments to the
Bank's financial statements in prior years. However, in view of the
increasingly uncertain regulatory environment in which the Bank now
operated, the extent, if any, to which a forthcoming regulatory
examination may ultimately result in adjustments to the 1994
financial statements cannot presently be determined.

Bancshares' primary source of working capital is dividends from
the Bank. At December 31, 1994, approximately $982,000 of the Bank's
net assets were available for dividends to Bancshares without seeking
regulatory approval.
(14) Concentration of Credit Risk
The Bank grants commercial and individual loans to customers
throughout the state. Although the Bank has a diversified loan
portfolio, a substantial portion of its debtors' ability to honor
their contracts is dependent upon the local economy.
(15) Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk
In the normal course of business, Guaranty Bank is a party to
financial instruments which are not recorded in the consolidated
financial statements. These financial instruments include
commitments to extend credit and letters of credit.
Loan commitments and lines of credit represent Bank commitments
to lend funds at specific rates, with fixed expiration or review
dates and for specific purposes. These commitments are agreements
to fund loans if all conditions in the agreement are met. For
overdraft lines of credit, the Bank has the right to change or
terminate the terms and conditions of the credit agreement at any
time with appropriate notice. Since many commitments and unused
overdraft lines of credit are never actually drawn upon, the unfunded
amounts do not necessarily represent future funding requirements.
The Bank evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on an individual
basis. The amounts of collateral obtained, if any, upon extension
of credit is based on the credit worthiness of the customer. The
Bank uses the same credit policies in making conditional obligations
as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of
nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for
letters of credit is represented by the contract or notional amount
of those instruments. Letters of credit are conditional commitments
issued by the Bank to guarantee performance to a third party.
Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk:
Letters of credit $ 814,500
Unused overdraft lines of credit 171,000
Loan commitments 4,338,000
(16) Leases
During the year ended December 31, 1991, the Bank entered into
a sale and leaseback agreement with regard to the bank building and
the grounds on which it is located. Under the agreement, the Bank
leased back a portion of the building for a term of fifteen years
which is accounted for as a capital lease. Also, the Bank leased the
grounds on which the building is located for a term of fifteen years.
The lease of the grounds is accounted for as an operating lease.
The future minimum lease payments under the capitalized lease
and the present value of the net minimum lease payments as of
December 31, 1994, are as follows:
December 31,
1995 $ 252,744
1996 252,744
1997 252,744
1998 252,744
1999 252,744
Thereafter 1,642,841
----------
Total minimum lease payments 2,906,561
Less amount representing interest 1,183,222
----------
Present value of minimum lease payments including
current maturities of $84,202 $1,723,339
==========
The following is a schedule by year of future minimum rental
payments under the operating lease as of December 31, 1994:
December 31,
1995 $135,696
1996 135,696
1997 135,696
1998 67,848
--------
$474,936
========
Although the term of the lease is (15) fifteen years, the
rental payments are to be made over (7 1/2) seven and one-half years.
Half of the rental payments are expensed and half are recorded as
prepaid rent to be amortized over the last (7 1/2) seven and one-half
years of the lease. Rent expense is approximately $67,848 for each
of the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992, and $237,845
and $169,997 are included in other assets at December 31, 1994 and
1993, respectively.
(17) Extraordinary items
1992
The extraordinary items consist of the following:
Interest on income tax refund, net of applicable
expenses $ 455,692
Income tax expense attributable to the interest
received on the income tax refund (164,186)
Utilization of the net operating loss carryforward 197,972
