NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
The information furnished reflects all adjustments which are,
in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of
results for the six (6) months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995. All
adjustments are considered to be of a recurring nature. Results
for the interim period may not necessarily be indicative of results
for the entire year.
NOTE 1:
On January 13, 1983, pursuant to a Reorganization and Merger
Agreement, Guaranty Bank & Trust Company of Morgan City (the Bank)
was merged into a subsidiary of Guaranty Bancshares Holding
Corporation (Bancshares) with the effect that the Bank became a
wholly owned subsidiary of Bancshares.
Bancshares has outstanding $2.70 Cumulative Preferred Stock
and Class B, No Par Value Common Stock which were issued in 1988 in
exchange for subordinated debentures issued in 1983 when the
company was formed. Bancshares also has outstanding Class A, $5.00
Par Value, Common Stock which were also issued when the company was
formed. The $.50 Cumulative Preferred Stock is subordinate to the
$2.70 Preferred Stock and were issued for cash in 1989 and 1990.
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.
The company has acquired, through foreclosure, 3,976 shares of
$2.70 preferred stock, 3,876 shares of Class A, $5.00 par value
common stock and 3,976 shares of Class B, no par value common
stock. The preferred shares were canceled and reverted to
authorized but unissued $.50 preferred stock. The common shares
are held as treasury stock at a total value of $16,000. (See
Capital Resources)
NOTE 2: Contingent Liabilities
As of June 30, 1996, there were $815,600 of letters of credit
outstanding which are not reflected in the consolidated financial
statements. Management does not expect any loss as a result of
these transactions.
GUARANTY BANCSHARES HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Summary
For the six months ended June 30 1996, Bancshares earned
$163,000, compared with earnings of $212,000 for the comparable
period in 1995. The primary reasons for the decrease in earnings
were lower non-interest operating income and increased operating
expenses. The subsidiary bank did not make a provision for loan
losses in either period.
Changes in financial position at June 30, 1996, from December
31, 1995 were net increases in investment securities and loans.
Deposits increased $2,864,000. Investments increased $1,742,000.
Loans increased $4,104,000. Notes payable to the Federal Home Loan
Bank of Dallas decreased $99,000 through amortization. These
borrowings are used to match maturities and amortization on certain
loans.
New credit income is the most significant component of
financial operations and is affected by interacting forces,
including changes in investment market interest rates and changes
in volume and mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing
deposits. For the first six months of 1996, net interest income as
a percent of net average earning assets of $56,105,000 was 4.68
percent, down from 4.83 percent for the six months of 1995. The
decrease is attributable to a general decline in interest rates
earned on loans.
Net Operating Results
The following analysis should be read in conjunction with the
accompanying financial statements.
Net interest income increased a net of $10,000. Of this
amount, interest on funds sold increased $80,000. Interest on
loans declined $21,000, while interest earned on securities in-
vestments declined $61,000. Total interest expenses declined
$12,000.
The decrease in loan income is attributable to a $687,000
increase in average loans outstanding, and 0.3 percent decrease in
average yields to 9.5 percent. The decrease in investment income
was the result of a $1,683,000 decrease in average securities
investments and a 0.1 percent increase in average yields.
Interest expense decreased $12,000 from 1995 levels. Average
interest bearing deposits decreased $234,000, while average rates
paid decreased 0.1 percent from 3.8 percent. The subsidiary bank
has borrowed funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas to
fund commercial real estate loans which have comparable scheduled
amortizations and maturities.
Investment Securities
Investment securities increased from $16,399,000 as of June
30, 1995 to $17,632,000 at June 30, 1996. This is primarily
attributable to net purchases of U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government
agency securities and by scheduled amortization on mortgage backed
securities. There were no securities sales during the first six
months of 1996.

Maturities of mortgage backed securities are classified by
contractual (stated) maturity dates. Expected maturities will
differ from contractual maturities because borrowers have the
right to call or prepay obligations.
Investment securities with a carrying value of approximately
$8,106,000, $6,882,000, and $7,179,000 at June 30, 1996, December
31, 1995 and June 30, 1995, respectively, were pledged to secure
public deposits as required by law.

Non-interest bearing demand deposits at June 30, 1996
increased $1,244,000 from June 30, 1995. As interest rates paid
on money market investment accounts remained low, depositors
transferred funds to higher yielding certificates of deposits
which had become more competitive with non-bank related institutions.
Certificates of deposits of $100,000 or more to commercial entities
increased $137,000 while public fund certifiates of deposit of
$100,000 or more increased only $5,000.
The Bank has insignificant foreign and no brokered deposits.
Short Term Borrowings
The Bank had no significant short term borrowings in 1996 or
1995.
Allowance for Loan Losses and Non-Performing Loans and Other Real
Estate
The allowance for loan losses was 1.32 percent of loans
outstanding at June 30, 1995, compared with 1.46 percent at
December 31, 1995 and 1.42 percent at June 30, 1995. The Bank did
not make a provision to the reserve for loan losses during the
first six months of 1996 or 1995.

Other operating expenses totaled $1,207,000 for the first six

increase, primarily due to accounting and legal fees relating to an
unsuccessful stock exchange offer.
Personnel expenses totaled $534,000 for the period, compared
with $512,000 in 1995. In 1996, expenses related to other real
estate and repossessed property totaled to $2,000, in 1995, these
expenses, net of rental income on these properties, totaled $7,000.
These expenses represent related taxes, maintenance and insurance.
FDIC and other insurance expenses decreased $53,000 primarily as

Income Taxes
Income taxes were accrued at the U. S. federal tax rate.
Liquidity
The term "liquidity" generally refers to the ability of a
company to generate adequate amount of cash to meet its needs. For
a bank, "liquidity" represents its ability to meet timely the
demand for funds used to honor checks, to pay maturing time
deposits, to fund increases in loan demand and to satisfy other
commitments. Unless it borrows funds, a bank's source of funds are
generally its core deposits and its retained earnings.
At June 30, 1996 and 1995, the Bank's gross loans-to-deposits
ratios were 72.1 percent and 70.9 percent, respectively. Loans
increased $2,955,000 from 1995 levels. Significant to the
loan-to-deposit ratio computation, deposits increased $3,296,000
as of June 30, 1996 from 1995. The Bank has no brokered deposits.
As a bank holding company, the ability of Bancshares to pay
its obligations is wholly dependent upon the receipt of dividends
and tax benefits from the Bank.
Capital Resources
At June 30, 1996, stockholders' equity amounted to $5,820,000
compared with $5,399,000 at June 30, 1995 and $5,662,000 at
December 31, 1995.
Bancshares has paid only one $2.70 and one 67.5 cents dividend
on its $2.70 preferred stock and has not declared or paid dividends
on its $.50 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 July 13, 1996 $2,643,000
$.50 Preferred Stock, dividends accumulated
from January 13, 1990 through July 13, 1996 75,000

ITEM 4
The annual meeting was originally scheduled for June 17, 1996
and a notice of that meeting, a proxy statement dated May 23, 1996,
and a proxy were mailed to each of Bancshares' shareholders on May
24, 1996. However, the annual meeting originally scheduled for June
17, 1996 was postponed by means of a "Notice of Postponement of Annual
Meeting of Shareholders Originally Scheduled for June 17, 1996",
which Notice was mailed to the Shareholders of Bancshares on June
13, 1996.
The annual shareholder meeting originally scheduled for June
17, 1996 was postponed because Cari Investment Company (CIC), a
shareholder of Bancshares, issued a letter and proxy statement to
the shareholders of Bancshares. CIC's letter and proxy statement
urged the shareholders of Bancshares to vote for certain nominees
that CIC recommended in lieu of nominees recommended to the
shareholders by Bancshares. CIC's proxy statement also urged the
shareholders of Bancshares to reject the Plan of Recapitalization
that Bancshares' Board of Directors had asked the shareholders to
approve. The Board of Directors of Bancshares therefore determined
that it was in the best interests of Bancshares and its
shareholders to postpone the annual meeting of shareholders in
order to give the shareholders time to review the proxy materials
and other communications of both Bancshares and CIC. The Board
believed that this lengthened review period would facilitate
informed shareholder decisions regarding the respective positions
of Bancshares and CIC as set forth in such proxy materials and
communications.
After these events occurred, Bancshares and CIC engaged each
other in certain legal actions in which each party asserted its
respective position regarding the election of directors of
Bancshares and the Plan of Recapitalization proposed by the
management of Bancshares, as follows: On June 7, 1996 Bancshares
filed a Complaint of Injunctive Relief against CIC in the United
States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana seeking
to prevent CIC from issuing CIC's proxy statement which Bancshares
believed contained false or misleading information. The court
denied Bancshares' request for a temporary restraining order
granting such relief. On June 17, 1996 CIC filed a Petition for
Injunctive Relief against Bancshares in the 16th Judicial District
Court for the Parish of St. Mary, State of Louisiana, seeking to
prevent Bancshares from postponing the annual meeting of
shareholders scheduled for that day. The court denied CIC's
request for a temporary restraining order granting the relief that
CIC requested. On June 20, 1996 CIC filed a Supplemental and
Amending Petition for Extraordinary and Injunctive Relief to add a
claim for Quo Warranto relief to its previously filed Petition.
The court denied the relief sought by CIC after a trial on the
merits. On July 3, 1996 CIC filed a petition for Writ of Quo
Warranto Relief against directors Randolph Cullom, Conley J.
Dutreix, and Lee A. Ringeman. On July 17, 1996 the court denied
the relief sought by CIC after a trial on the merits.
Subsequent to these legal actions, Bancshares and its Board of
Directors and CIC determined that it was in the best interests of
