Item 2. MANAGEMENTS' DISCUSSION AND ANALAYSIS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Increased  earnings for the second  quarter were recorded by Guaranty State
Bancorp.  For the quarter ended June 30, 1997, net income totaled  $295,093,  up
7.7% over  $274,115  reported  for the same  period a year ago.  Per share,  the
comparison  was $.32 for the second  quarter of 1997  versus $.30 for the second
quarter of 1996, an increase of 6.7%.  For the six month period,  net income was
$542,460. Compared to $546,241 in 1996.

     The second quarter  increase  indicates  positive  results from  Guaranty's
business  development  efforts.  Total assets increased 7.8%,  reaching a record
level of $102.4  million at June 30, 1997,  compared with $95.1 million one year
ago. Net loans increased  10.6% to $72.5 million and deposits  increased 9.4% to
total $88.0  million.  Net interest  income  increased  5.1%  through  growth in
earning assets. The yield on earning assets decreased over the first half of the
year,  from 4.70% at June 30,  1996,  to 4.54% at June 30, 1997.  Other  assets,
which increased by 138%, include treasurer's checks in a suspense file for loans
pending closing at attorney's  offices.  This amount varies greatly from quarter
to  quarter,  depending  on the  number of loans in  process  at the end of each
quarter. At June 30, 1997,  annualized returns on average equity and assets were
10.28% and 1.11%, respectively.

     Through  the first six  months of 1997,  noninterest  income  increased  by
16.5%, resulting from a 14.4% rise in service charge income. Nonrecurring income
from the sale of an  investment  security  and  fully  depreciated  bank  assets
contributed  to  noninterest  income.  Noninterest  expense  increased by 10.0%,
primarily due to occupancy and staff expenses  associated with Guaranty's newest
branch office located at Research Triangle Park.

     Guaranty  remained  on target with the profit and growth plan for the first
six months of 1997. The local economy remains strong and according to Charles J.
Stewart, president and CEO, management looks forward to a successful second half
of the year.

     On July 1, 1997,  shareholders  of record as of June 13, 1997,  were paid a
quarterly  dividend of $.09 per share,  a 12.5%  increase over that paid through
the same period last year.

     Stewart  said the Bank  remains  focused on quality  growth that will build
shareholder value.
