Our Company
Guaranty Financial Corporation is headquartered in Charlottesville,
Virginia. We own Guaranty Bank, a Virginia-chartered commercial bank. We conduct
almost all of our business through Guaranty Bank, which operates eight banking
offices in Virginia, including five in Charlottesville/Albemarle County, one in
Harrisonburg, one at Lake Monticello in Fluvanna County and one in Henrico
County, immediately west of Richmond. Since June 30, 1995 Guaranty has grown
from three to eight branch offices. We plan to open an additional branch office
in Albemarle County in early 2000.
There are some things about Guaranty that you should understand because
they distinguish us from many community banks.
o In 1996 we decided that significant growth would enhance
shareholder value in the long run. The following table
reflects our growth since June 30, 1995.

</TABLE>
o Our strategy included converting Guaranty Bank from a savings
association to a commercial bank. The Guaranty Bank conversion
to a bank charter on July 1, 1997, coincidentally, happened at
the same time as several large Virginia banks were acquired by
large out-of-state banks. Bank consolidation in our markets
allowed us to accelerate our growth.
Many borrowers and depositors who prefer not to deal with
extremely large out-of-state banks moved their business to
Guaranty. Just as important, we were able to hire several
talented bankers with loyal customers who prefer to work for
us instead of a large, bureaucratic, out-of-state institution.
For example, our head of construction lending came to Guaranty
in December, 1997 from a Richmond-based statewide bank that
had been acquired. Our construction and land development loans
increased from $18.3 million at December 31, 1997 to $59.6
million at June 30, 1999. Slightly over half these loans are
to builders and developers in the Richmond area. Most of the
remainder are in and around Charlottesville. Our head of
commercial lending and staff came to Guaranty in July, 1998
from a Charlottesville-based statewide bank that also had been
acquired. Our commercial loan portfolio grew from $6.3 million
at June 30, 1998 to $42.2 million at June 30, 1999. Our
commercial business loans are predominantly in Charlottesville
and Albemarle County.

<PAGE>
o While we have enjoyed growth in assets, loans and deposits, we
also have had a substantial increase in fixed assets, branch
offices and employees.

Full-time employees 96 77 57 52 44
</TABLE>
As a result, our non-interest expense has increased just as
rapidly as our net interest income and we have not been as
profitable as most community banks our size.
o We intend to continue our growth strategy. Although we expect
additional increases in non-interest expense, our business
plan reflects that net interest income will increase faster
than non-interest expense. Any significant increase in our
profitability depends on this. To accomplish this, we must
continue to increase loans, while we control deposit costs and
personnel expense. We believe these goals can be achieved.
Some of our larger construction and commercial loan customers,
as well as potential commercial customers who want to bank
with Guaranty, have borrowing needs that exceed our legal
lending limit. If we sell all the common stock we are
offering, our legal lending limit will increase from
approximately $2.8 million to approximately $___ million.
Although this will not enable us to meet all the borrowing
needs of larger customers, it will enhance our ability to
compete with larger banks for commercial loans. We also
anticipate increased commercial business as we have completed
installation of various cash management services that will
better enable Guaranty to compete with larger banks for
commercial accounts. While we expect additional loan growth,
our business plan reflects that our loans will not continue to
grow as rapidly as in the past two years.
Our deposit costs have decreased gradually, but steadily, in
the past few years, as we have emphasized money market and
demand accounts. However, at times we have offered premium
deposit rates in order to fund loan growth. We will continue
to reduce deposit costs as market conditions and our need to
fund loans permit. Guaranty is competing for lower cost
accounts by offering new services, including debit cards and
internet banking. To control deposit costs we must increase
demand and money market accounts as a percentage of total
deposits.
Employee compensation is the largest component of our
non-interest expense. We expect continued increases in
compensation and non-interest expense, although at a much
lower rate than in the past two years. Additional employees
will be added primarily in connection with branch office
expansion. We do not plan to add any significant number of
more highly paid officers in the near future. Guaranty also is
selectively reducing staffing levels in certain areas.
Our principal executive offices are located 1658 State Farm Boulevard,
Charlottesville, Virginia 22911 and our telephone number is (804) 970-1100.

</TABLE>
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Guaranty will incur non-recurring after-tax charges of approximately
$1.1 million in the quarter ending September 30, 1999. The charges result
primarily from the sale of approximately $13 million in long term corporate
bonds and the sale of Guaranty's mortgage loan servicing rights. As a result of
the charge, Guaranty expects to report a third quarter after-tax loss of
approximately $887,000. Guaranty expects to be profitable for the year ending
December 31, 1999.
The bonds that were sold had a weighted average yield of 5.91% and the
proceeds were used to pay down short term borrowings with an average cost of
5.40%. As a result of the sales, the weighted average yield on Guaranty's
available for sale securities increased to 6.79% from 6.32%.
Guaranty's mortgage loan servicing rights accumulated as a by-product
of its mortgage lending business. Generally, the value of servicing rights moves
inversely with the value of interest bearing securities as market interest rates
change. Guaranty has found that the value of servicing rights is extremely
sensitive to changes in market interest rates, but tends to fall faster as
interest rates decline than increase as interest rates rise. Increases and
decreases in the value of servicing rights are treated as income or expense.
Because Guaranty cannot control or predict changes in the value of servicing
rights or the rate of amortization as loans prepay, it has decided to exit the
mortgage loan servicing business.

RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risk factors listed below before
investing. These risk factors may adversely affect our financial condition,
including future earnings. You should read this section together with the other
information in this prospectus.
We may not be able to maintain and manage our growth.
During the last four years, we have experienced significant growth, and
our business strategy calls for continued expansion. In particular, we intend to
use the funds raised in this offering to support anticipated increases in our
loans and deposits. Our ability to continue to grow depends, in part, upon our
ability to open new branch locations, successfully attract deposits to those
locations, and identify loan and investment opportunities. Our ability to manage
growth successfully also will depend on whether we can efficiently fund our
growth and maintain cost controls and asset quality, as well as on factors
beyond our control, such as economic conditions and interest rate trends. If we
are unable to sustain our growth, our earnings could be adversely affected. If
we grow too quickly, however, and are not able to control costs and maintain
asset quality, rapid growth could adversely affect our financial performance.
Our exposure to credit risk is increased because we focus on commercial and
construction lending.
Our loan portfolio contains a large amount of commercial loans and
construction loans. Commercial loans and construction loans are riskier than
residential real estate loans. These types of loans also are typically larger
than residential real estate loans and consumer loans. Because our loan
portfolio contains a significant number of commercial loans and construction
loans with relatively large balances, the deterioration of one or a few of these
loans may cause a significant increase in nonperforming loans. An increase in
nonperforming loans would result in a loss of earnings from these loans, an
increase in the provision for loan losses and an increase in loan charge-offs.
We maintain an allowance for loan losses based on, among other things,
historical experience, an evaluation of economic conditions, and regular reviews
of delinquencies and loan portfolio quality. We cannot assure you that
charge-offs in future periods will not exceed the allowance for loan losses or
that additional increases in the allowance for loan losses will not be required.
Additions to the allowance for loan losses would result in a decrease in our net
income and, possibly, our capital.
A loss of senior officers would adversely affect us.
Guaranty depends heavily on fewer than 10 key officers. Many of our
customers bank with Guaranty because they have developed confidence in our
senior officers over many years. If Guaranty lost these individuals, a
substantial loss of business would be likely. Guaranty does not carry key man
life insurance on its senior officers, but has attempted to reduce its risk
through covenants not to compete.
Changes in interest rates may adversely affect our earnings and financial
condition.
Our net income depends principally upon our net interest income. Net
interest income is the difference between interest earned on loans, investments
and other interest-earning assets and the interest paid on deposits and borrowed
funds. Changes in interest rates can increase or reduce net interest income and
net income.
8
<PAGE>
Different types of assets and liabilities may react differently, and at
different times, to changes in market interest rates. When interest-bearing
liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than interest-earning assets in a
period, an increase in market rates of interest could reduce net interest
income. When interest-earning assets mature or reprice more quickly than
interest-bearing liabilities, falling interest rates could reduce net interest
income. Changes in market interest rates are affected by many factors beyond our
control, including inflation, unemployment, money supply, international events,
and events in the United States and other financial markets.
We attempt to manage risk from changes in market interest rates, in
part, by controlling the mix of interest rate sensitive assets and interest rate
sensitive liabilities. However, interest rate risk management techniques are not
exact. A rapid increase or decrease in interest rates could adversely affect our
financial performance.
Adverse conditions in our market area may have an adverse effect on us.
The majority of our business is with customers located within
Charlottesville and Albemarle County, Virginia. The businesses to whom we make
loans are small and medium sized and are dependent upon the local economy.
Adverse economic and business conditions in our market area could affect our
borrowers, their ability to repay their loans, and consequently our financial
condition and performance.
Competition with other financial institutions could adversely affect our
profitability.
We face substantial competition for loans and deposits. Competition for
loans comes principally from other banks, savings institutions, mortgage banking
companies and other lenders. Some of our competitors enjoy advantages over us
including greater financial resources, a wider geographic presence or more
accessible branch office locations, the ability to offer a wider array of
services, or more favorable pricing alternatives and lower origination and
operating costs. This competition could decrease the number and size of loans
which we make and the interest rate which we receive on these loans.
We compete for deposits with other depository institutions such as
banks, savings institutions and credit unions, as well as institutions offering
uninsured investment alternatives, including money market funds and mutual
funds. These competitors may offer higher interest rates than we do, which could
decrease the deposits that we attract or require us to increase our rates to
attract new deposits. Increased deposit competition could increase our cost of
funds and adversely affect our ability to generate the funds necessary for our
lending operations.
We must pay interest on our subordinated debentures.
In 1998 we issued $6.9 million of 7.0% convertible subordinated
debentures to Guaranty Capital Trust I, a Delaware business trust that we
control. Interest payments on the debentures total $483,000 per year, which must
be paid before we pay dividends on our common stock. We have the right to defer
interest payments on the debentures for up to 20 consecutive quarters. However,
if we elected to defer interest payments, all deferred interest, compounded at
7.0% per year, must be paid before we may pay dividends on our common stock.
Government regulation significantly affects our business.
The banking industry is extensively regulated. Banking regulations are
intended primarily to protect depositors and the federal deposit insurance
funds, not stockholders. We and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Guaranty Bank, are
subject to regulation and supervision by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System and the Virginia State Corporation Commission. Regulatory
requirements affect
9
<PAGE>
our lending practices, capital level, investment practices, dividend policy and
growth. Our failure to meet minimum capital requirements could result in actions
by our regulators that could adversely affect our ability to pay dividends or
otherwise adversely affect our operations.
Problems related to the Year 2000 issue could adversely affect our business.
The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written
using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. The failure to
correct any such programs or hardware could result in system failures or
miscalculations causing disruptions of our operations, including a temporary
inability to process transactions or engage in similar normal business
activities.
The Year 2000 issue may adversely affect the credit quality of our loan
portfolio if our customers were unable to service their bank debt due to their
own Year 2000 problems or that of their key customers or suppliers. Year 2000
problems for our suppliers may have an adverse effect on us. For example,
without electrical power and telephone communications, it would be very
difficult for us to operate.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will receive net proceeds of approximately $_____ million ($_____
million if we exercise our right to increase this offering from 800,000 shares
to 920,000 shares), after deduction of expenses of the offering (estimated at
$__________) and the underwriting discount.
We will use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate
purposes, including providing additional equity capital to Guaranty Bank to
support continued asset growth.

Dividends
Substantially all of the funds available for the payment of cash
dividends are derived from Guaranty Bank. Future cash dividends will depend
primarily upon Guaranty Bank's earnings, financial condition, need for funds,
and government policies and regulations applicable to both Guaranty Bank and us.
As of June 30, 1999, the net profits of Guaranty Bank available for distribution
to us as dividends without regulatory approval were approximately $1.76 million.
We cannot pay dividends should we elect to defer interest payments on our 7.0%
convertible debentures or if we are in default of our obligations relating to
those securities. Guaranty presently intends to pay dividends for each quarter
of 1999, each in an amount of not less than $.06 per share, subject to our
financial condition. We declared cash dividends of $.06 per share on March 11,
1999 and June 17, 1999, payable to stockholders of record on April 16,1999 and
July 16, 1999.

BUSINESS
General
Guaranty Financial Corporation is a bank holding company headquartered
in Charlottesville, Virginia. We provide commercial and retail banking services
through our principal operating subsidiary, Guaranty Bank. At June 30, 1999, we
had total consolidated assets of $251.9 million, deposits of $194.0 million and
stockholders' equity of $11.2 million.
We operate primarily in Charlottesville, Virginia, the surrounding
County of Albemarle and the contiguous County of Fluvanna in central Virginia.
We also operate in Harrisonburg, Virginia, which is in the Shenandoah Valley.
Although we have had no office in the Richmond, Virginia area, a large
percentage of our construction loan customers are in and around Richmond. In
September 1999, we opened a branch office in suburban Henrico County,
immediately west of Richmond.
We are a community bank which provides a broad range of commercial and
retail banking services designed to meet the needs of businesses and consumers
in the communities we serve. As a community bank, we seek to provide our
customers with the technological support that banking in today's market
requires. We emphasize local decision making within our organization and provide
attentive personal service to our customers. By combining the technological
support and products and services that our customers demand with direct access
to senior management and responsive customer service, we seek
12
<PAGE>
to foster a business and consumer banking environment that allows us to
effectively compete in our particular market with other financial institutions
of all sizes.
Strategy
Our strategy for building long term value for our shareholders is to
increase net income through continued loan growth, while controlling the cost of
our deposits and growth of non-interest expense. To achieve these goals, we plan
to take the following steps.
o Emphasize commercial banking products and services. Commercial
customers are a source of prime-based loans, low cost deposits
and fee income from cash management services. From June 30,
1998 to June 30, 1999 our commercial loan portfolio grew from
$6.3 million, to $42.2 million. At June 30, 1999 commercial
deposit accounts totaled $14.7 million, of which $8.04 million
were non-interest bearing demand deposits. At June 30, 1998,
commercial demand deposits were $2.07 million.
We have been able to increase our commercial business because
we hired a team of experienced bankers from a
Charlottesville-based statewide bank that was acquired by an
out-of-state bank in late 1997. Many customers followed this
team to Guaranty. Significant further growth in this area will
depend on geographic expansion, expanding our base of larger
business customers by addressing two competitive disadvantages
that concern them and expanding our base of small business
customers.
Our legal lending limit is below the level necessary to serve
the borrowing requirements of our larger commercial customers.
The additional capital from this offering will increase our
legal lending limit and solve most, but not all, of those
problems.
A second competitive disadvantage has been our lack of cash
management services. These issues have been addressed. Early
this year we introduced accounts for commercial customers that
automatically invest excess funds daily and afford automatic
access to lines of credit. Additionally, in September of this
year, we began to introduce a 24-hour a day internet-based
service that is designed to allow commercial customers, among
other things, to view checking accounts, initiate wire
transfers and electronic stop payment requests, directly
deposit payrolls to employee accounts, concentrate cash from
other banks into the customer's Guaranty account and pay
bills.
In October 1999 Guaranty will introduce a program specifically
designed to appeal to small businesses. These customers and
potential customers differ from our larger commercial
customers in that they demand smaller lines of credit and less
sophisticated management services. In exchange for lower fees,
this program will feature higher yielding loans and
non-interest bearing demand accounts. Guaranty's program to
attract small business customers will be staffed by three
experienced bankers. This program also is intended to allow
officers who are responsible for our larger commercial
customers to focus primarily on growing that part of our
business.
o Emphasize Construction Lending. From December 31, 1997 to June
30, 1999 our construction and land development loans have
increased from $18.3 million to $59.6 million. Our business
plan reflects a moderate increase in constructions loans. The
increase in our legal lending limit expected to result from
this offering will enable us to transact more business with
our larger construction and land development loan customers.
13
<PAGE>
o Expand Our Branch Network. In 1998, we opened new branches in
Fluvanna County and Charlottesville. We followed this
expansion with the addition of our Henrico County office,
immediately west of Richmond, in September, 1999.
Approximately 55% of our construction and land development
loans are to builders and developers in the Richmond, Virginia
area. Our Henrico County branch office will enable us to more
effectively market deposits and other services to these
customers.
We will open an office in the Forest Lakes area of Albemarle
County, immediately north of Charlottesville in early 2000.
Forest Lakes is a 1000 unit residential development. The
immediately surrounding area includes the University of
Virginia's North Fork Research Park, which has an approved
plan for up to 3,000,000 square feet of industrial, office and
retail development.
We plan to open a second branch office in Harrisonburg,
Virginia in the third quarter of 2000. Other than the Forest
Lakes and Harrisonburg branches, we do not have firm plans to
establish any new branches. However, we will open new branches
in existing or new markets if attractive sites become
available.
o Provide New Services for Individual Customers. For many years
Guaranty has effectively marketed mortgage loans, home equity
loans and savings products. Only in recent years, however, has
Guaranty competed for other business from individuals. In
order to control deposit costs, Guaranty must continue to
increase its lower cost transaction accounts. Demand and money
market accounts, which averaged $12.8 million in 1997,
averaged $52.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 1999.
To capture more business from individuals, Guaranty has
gradually increased the array of products and services it
provides. Guaranty made debit cards available to its 6,000
demand deposit customers in September of this year and in
August introduced internet banking. This service allows
individual customers to transfer funds between accounts, pay
bills electronically and set up automatic drafts, receive
e-mail when specific checks clear or when the customer's
account goes above or below a specific balance. The program
also allows a customer to download account information into
widely used financial management programs. Guaranty has
introduced an electronic checking account designed for
customers who prefer to bank electronically. This product
provides internet banking and a debit card at no charge,
provided the customer has no more than three non-electronic
transactions per month.
In August 1999, Guaranty hired a full time trainer to improve
sales and customer retention in its branch offices. Sales
training will be in connection with a computerized customer
marketing information program that Guaranty expects to have in
place early next year. This program will provide branch
employees timely customer information and prompt employees on
a customer's propensity to purchase a particular product or
service. The customer marketing information program also will
provide market segmentation data designed to focus direct
sales efforts on customers who are likely to purchase a
particular product or service. Guaranty will offer credit
cards, beginning in the fourth quarter of this year.

Market Area
Guaranty is headquartered in Charlottesville, Virginia. This area had a
collective population of approximately 108,000 in 1990 according to census
figures, is located in central Virginia 110 miles southwest of Washington, D.C.
and 70 miles west of Richmond, Virginia, and includes the University of
Virginia, the area's largest employer. Guaranty operates eight full service
retail branches, which serve Charlottesville, Albemarle County, Fluvanna County,
Henrico County and Harrisonburg, Virginia.
Competition
Guaranty faces strong competition for loans and deposits. Competition
for loans comes primarily from commercial banks and mortgage bankers who also
make loans in Guaranty's market area. Guaranty competes for loans principally on
the basis of the interest rates and loan fees it charges, the types of loans it
originates and the quality of services it provides to borrowers.
Guaranty faces substantial competition for deposits from commercial
banks, money market and mutual funds, credit unions and other investment
vehicles. The ability of Guaranty to attract and retain deposits depends on its
ability to provide an investment opportunity that satisfies the requirements of
investors as to rate of return, liquidity, risk and other factors. Guaranty
competes for these deposits by offering a variety of deposit products at
competitive rates and convenient business hours.
Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial resources
than those available to Guaranty. Certain of these institutions have
significantly higher lending limits than Guaranty. In addition, there can be no
assurance that other financial institutions, with substantially greater
resources than Guaranty, will not establish operations in Guaranty's service
area.
Credit Policies
The principal risk associated with each of the categories of loans in
Guaranty's portfolio is the creditworthiness of its borrowers. Within each
category, such risk is increased or decreased, depending on prevailing economic
conditions. In an effort to manage the risk, Guaranty's policy gives loan amount
approval limits to individual loan officers based on their position and
experience. The risk associated with real estate mortgage loans and consumer
loans varies, based on employment levels, consumer confidence, fluctuations in
the value of real estate and other conditions that affect the ability of
borrowers to repay indebtedness. The risk associated with real estate
construction loans varies, based on the supply and demand for the type of real
estate under construction.
Guaranty has written policies and procedures to help manage credit
risk. Guaranty is implementing a loan review process that includes formulation
of portfolio management strategy, guidelines for underwriting standards and risk
assessment, procedures for ongoing identification and management of credit
deterioration, and regular portfolio reviews to establish loss exposure and to
ascertain compliance with Guaranty's policies.
Guaranty uses a Management Loan Committee and Directors Loan Committee
to approve loans. The Management Loan Committee, which consists of the President
and two additional senior officers, meets as necessary to review all
applications for loans in excess of $250,000. A Directors Loan Committee, which
currently consists of five directors (any two of whom may act), approves loans
in excess of $1,000,000 that have been previously approved by the Management
Loan Committee. Guaranty's President is responsible for reporting to the
Directors Loan Committee monthly on the activities of the Management Loan
Committee and on the status of various delinquent and non-
15
<PAGE>
performing loans. The Directors Loan Committee also reviews lending policies
proposed by Management.
Residential loan originations come primarily from walk-in customers,
real estate brokers and builders. Commercial real estate loan originations are
obtained through broker referrals, direct solicitation of developers and
continued business from customers. All completed loan applications are reviewed
by Guaranty's salaried loan officers. As part of the application process,
information is obtained concerning the income, financial condition, employment
and credit history of the applicant. If commercial real estate is involved,
information is also obtained concerning cash flow after debt service. Loan
quality is analyzed based on Guaranty Bank's experience and guidelines with
respect to credit underwriting, as well as the guidelines issued by the Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"), Federal National Mortgage Association
("FNMA") and other purchasers of loans, depending on the type of loan involved.
The non-conforming one-to-four-family adjustable-rate mortgage loans originated
by Guaranty, however, are not readily salable in the secondary market because
they do not meet all of the secondary marketing guidelines. Real estate is
appraised by independent fee appraisers who have been pre-approved by the Board
of Directors. Loans are submitted to the underwriting department for review. All
conforming loans including HUD/FHA, VA and applicable VHDA loans are
underwritten and acted upon within loan administration requiring two signatures
of approval.
In the normal course of business, Guaranty makes various commitments
and incurs certain contingent liabilities which are disclosed but not reflected
in its annual financial statements, including commitments to extend credit. At
June 30, 1999, commitments to extend credit totaled $69.2 million.
Commercial Real Estate Lending
Commercial real estate loans are secured by various types of commercial
real estate in Guaranty's market area, including multi-family residential
buildings, commercial buildings and offices, small shopping centers and
churches. At June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, commercial real estate loans
aggregated $13.9 million or 7.0% and $13.3 million or 7.7%, respectively of
Guaranty's gross loans.
In its underwriting of commercial real estate, Guaranty may lend up to
100% of the secured property's appraised value, although Guaranty's loan to
original appraised value ratio on such properties is 80% or less in most cases.
Commercial real estate lending entails significant additional risk, compared
with residential mortgage lending. Commercial real estate loans typically
involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of
related borrowers. Additionally, the payment experience on loans secured by
income producing properties is typically dependent on the successful operation
of a business or a real estate project and thus may be subject, to a greater
extent, to adverse conditions in the real estate market or in the economy
generally. Guaranty's commercial real estate loan underwriting criteria require
an examination of debt service coverage ratios, the borrower's creditworthiness
and prior credit history and reputation, and Guaranty generally requires
personal guarantees or endorsements of borrowers. Guaranty also carefully
considers the location of the security property.
One-to-Four-Family Residential Real Estate Lending
Guaranty makes loans secured by one-to-four-family residences, all of
which are located in its market area. Guaranty evaluates both the borrower's
ability to make principal and interest payments and the value of the property
that will secure the loan. Guaranty makes loans in amounts of up to 100% of the
appraised value of the underlying real estate. Loans are made with a loan to
value up to 95% for conventional mortgage loans and up to 100% for loans
guaranteed by either the Federal Housing Authority ("FHA") or the Veterans
Administration ("VA"). For conventional loans in excess of 80% loan
16
<PAGE>
to value, private mortgage insurance is secured insuring the mortgage loans to
75% loan to value. In addition to fixed rate mortgage loans, Guaranty makes
adjustable rate mortgages with the primary loan indexed to the one year
treasury. Generally if the loans are not made to credit standards of FHLMC,
additional fees and rate are charged.
Although, due to competitive market pressures, Guaranty does originate
fixed-rate mortgage loans, it currently underwrites and documents the majority
of such loans to permit their sale in the secondary mortgage market. At June 30,
1999, $21.0 million, or 10.63%, of Guaranty's loan portfolio consisted of
fixed-rate mortgage loans.
Guaranty's current one-to-four-family residential adjustable-rate
mortgage loans ("ARMs") have interest rates that adjust every year, generally in
accordance with the rates on one-year U.S. Treasury bills. Guaranty's ARMs
generally limit interest rate increases to 2% each rate adjustment period and
have an established ceiling rate at the time the loans are made of up to 6% over
the original interest rate. Borrowers are qualified at the first year interest
rate plus 2%. To compete with other lenders in its market area, Guaranty makes
one-year ARMs at interest rates which, for the first year, are below the index
rate which would otherwise apply to these loans. At June 30, 1999, $48.5
million, or 24.5%, of Guaranty's loan portfolio consisted of ARMs. There are
unquantifiable risks resulting from potential increased costs to the borrower as
a result of repricing. It is possible, therefore, that during periods of rising
interest rates, the risk of defaults on ARMs may increase due to the upward
adjustment of interest costs to borrowers.
All one-to-four-family real estate mortgage loans being originated by
Guaranty contain a "due-on-sale" clause providing that Guaranty may declare the
unpaid principal balance due and payable upon the sale of the mortgage property.
It is Guaranty's policy to enforce these due-on-sale clauses concerning
fixed-rate loans and to permit assumptions of ARMs, for a fee, by qualified
borrowers.
Guaranty requires, in connection with the origination of residential
real estate loans, title opinions and fire and casualty insurance coverage, as
well as flood insurance where appropriate, to protect Guaranty's interest. The
cost of this insurance coverage is paid by the borrower. Guaranty does require
escrows for taxes and insurance.
Construction Lending
Guaranty makes local construction loans, primarily residential, and
land development loans. At June 30, 1999, construction and land development
loans outstanding were $59.6 million, or 30.1%, of gross loans. Approximately
90% of these loans are concentrated in the Richmond and Charlottesville,
Virginia markets. The average life of a construction loan is approximately nine
months and they reprice monthly to meet the market, normally prime plus one and
one-half percent. Because the interest charged on these loans floats with the
market, they help Guaranty in managing its interest rate risk. Construction
lending entails significant additional risks, compared with residential mortgage
lending. Construction loans often involve larger loan balances concentrated with
single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Construction loans involve
additional risks attributable to the fact that loan funds are advanced upon the
security of the home or land under construction, which is of uncertain value
prior to the completion of construction. Thus, it is more difficult to evaluate
accurately the total loan funds required to complete a project and related
loan-to-value ratios. To minimize the risks associated with construction
lending, Guaranty limits loan amounts to 80.0% of appraised value, in addition
to its usual credit analysis of its borrowers. Guaranty also obtains a first
lien on the property as security for its construction loans and personal
guarantees from the borrower's principal owners.
17
<PAGE>
Consumer Lending
Guaranty offers various secured and unsecured consumer loans, including
unsecured personal loans and lines of credit, automobile loans, deposit account
loans, installment and demand loans, letters of credit, and home equity loans.
At June 30, 1999, Guaranty had consumer loans of $12.6 million or 6.4% of gross
loans. Such loans are generally made to customers with which Guaranty had a
pre-existing relationship. Guaranty originates all of its consumer loans in its
market area and intends to continue its consumer lending in this geographic
area. Most of our consumer loans are tied to the prime lending rate and reprice
daily.
Consumer loans may entail greater risk than do residential mortgage
loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans which are unsecured, such as
lines of credit, or secured by rapidly depreciable assets such as automobiles.
In such cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not
provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance as a
result of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation. The remaining
deficiency often does not warrant further substantial collection efforts against
the borrower. In addition, consumer loan collections are dependent on the
borrower's continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be
adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy.
Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including
federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can
be recovered on such loans. Such loans may also give rise to claims and defenses
by a consumer loan borrower against an assignee of such loan such as Guaranty,
and a borrower may be able to assert against such assignee claims and defenses
which it has against the seller of the underlying collateral. Guaranty adds
general provisions to its loan loss allowance at the time the loans are
originated. Consumer loan delinquencies often increase over time as the loans
age. Guaranty has very few unsecured consumer loans.
The underwriting standards employed by Guaranty for consumer loans
include a determination of the applicant's payment history on other debts and an
assessment of ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed
loan. The stability of the applicant's monthly income may be determined by
verification of gross monthly income for primary employment, and additionally
from any verifiable secondary income. Although creditworthiness of the applicant
is of primary consideration, the underwriting process also includes an analysis
of the value of the security in relation to the proposed loan amount.
Commercial Loans
Commercial business loans generally have a higher degree of risk than
residential mortgage loans, but have commensurately higher yields. To manage
these risks, Guaranty generally secures appropriate collateral and monitors the
financial condition of its business borrowers. Residential mortgage loans
generally are made on the basis of the borrower's ability to make repayment from
his employment and other income and are secured by real estate whose value tends
to be easily ascertainable. In contrast, commercial business loans typically are
made on the basis of the borrower's ability to make repayment from cash flow
from its business and are secured by business assets, such as commercial real
estate, accounts receivable, equipment and inventory. As a result, the
availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans may be
substantially dependent on the success of the business itself. Further, the
collateral for commercial business loans may depreciate over time and cannot be
appraised with as much precision as residential real estate. Guaranty is
implementing a credit review and monitoring system to review the cash flow of
commercial borrowers. At June 30, 1999, commercial loans totaled $42.2 million,
or 21.3% of the total loan portfolio.

Employees
At June 30, 1999, Guaranty had the equivalent of 96 full-time employees
and five part-time employees. None of Guaranty's employees are represented by
any collective bargaining unit.
Legal Proceedings
In the course of its operations, Guaranty is a party to various legal
proceedings. Based upon information currently available, management believes
that such legal proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse
effect on Guaranty's business, financial position, or results of operations.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following commentary discusses major components of Guaranty's
business and presents an overview of its consolidated financial position at June
30, 1999, and December 31, 1998 and 1997 and results of it's operations for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, the years ended December 31, 1998 and
1997, the six months ended December 31, 1996 and the fiscal year ended June 30,
1996. This discussion should be reviewed in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and accompanying notes and other statistical information
presented elsewhere in this prospectus.
Guaranty is not aware of any current recommendations by regulatory
authorities, which, if implemented, would have a material effect on its
liquidity, capital resources or results of operations. Further, there are no
agreements between Guaranty and the Federal Reserve, the Virginia State
Corporation Commission or the FDIC, nor has any regulatory agency made any
recommendations concerning the operations of Guaranty that could have a material
effect on its liquidity, capital resources or results of operations.
Net Income
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was $525,000 ($.35
per diluted share), an increase of 22.3% when compared to earnings of $429,000
($.29 per diluted share) for the same period in 1998. Net income for the year
ended December 31, 1998 was $1,016,000, ($.68 per diluted share), a 13.3%
increase when compared to 1997 earnings of $898,000 ($.61 per diluted share).
These increased earnings where primarily a result of increased net interest
income, growth and expansion of the existing branch network, and the addition
and expansion of the commercial and construction loan departments. Increased
revenues were largely offset by additional costs relating to the expansion of
the branch network and lending departments. In addition, 1997 earnings were
affected by the one-time expenses related to the conversion to a state chartered
commercial bank.
Net income for the year ended December 31, 1997 was $898,000, ($.61 per
share), a 161.8% increase when compared to calendar year 1996 earnings of
$343,000 ($.37 per share). Increased earnings in 1997 were primarily a result of
an increased net interest margin and gains on the sale of loans and securities
resulting from a favorable interest rate environment during a restructuring of
the balance sheet. These increased revenues were partially offset by expenses
relating to the conversion to a state chartered commercial bank in June 1997 and
costs related to the expansion of the branch network. Calendar 1997 was
positively impacted by the first full year of operations for the combined
corporate headquarters and branch that was opened on the east side of
Charlottesville, Virginia in December 1996. Also, in May 1997, a full-service
branch was opened in Harrisonburg, Virginia.
For the six months ended December 31, 1996, the Corporation had a net
loss of $6,000 compared to earnings of $299,000 for the same period in 1995.
Income decreased during the six months ended December 31, 1996, due to a charge
of $237,000 when it restructured its investment portfolio and a one time special
assessment of $347,000 to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund
("SAIF"). In order for Guaranty to convert to a commercial bank, securities
classified as available for sale had to be reclassified as trading securities.
This resulted in a mark to market loss of $237,000 which was charged against net
income and adjusted the basis of the securities. Without these charges, Guaranty
would have reported an after tax net income of $376,000 for the six months ended
December 31, 1996.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the major component of Guaranty's earnings and
is equal to the amount by which interest income exceeds interest expense.
Earning assets consist primarily of loans and securities, while deposits and
borrowings represent the major portion of interest bearing liabilities. Changes
in the volume and mix of assets and liabilities, as well as changes in the
yields and rates paid, determine changes in net interest income. The net
interest margin is calculated by dividing net interest income by average
interest earning assets.
Net interest income was $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30,
1999 compared to $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, an
increase of 61.5%. Average loans for the six months ended June 30, 1999 were
$175.0 million, a 63% increase over the same period in 1998. Principally as a
result of reduced fee income on construction loans and reductions in the prime
lending rate in the second half of 1998, the net interest margin fell to 3.12%
for the six months ended June 30, 1999, compared to 3.73% for the year ended
December 31, 1998.
Net interest income was $5.7 million for the year ended December 31,
1998, 62.9% greater than the $3.5 million reported during the year ended
December 31, 1997. This improvement in the net interest income was primarily due
to the volume increases in the loan portfolio and interest bearing deposits with
other banks and a decline in the average cost of interest bearing liabilities.
Average loans increased 37.6% for the year ended December 31, 1998. The
average balance of the interest bearing deposits with other banks was $10.5
million during the year ended December 31, 1998 an increase of 87.3% from an
average balance of $5.6 million during the year ended December 31, 1997. The
average yield on average loans increased 60 basis points from 8.50% in 1997 to
9.15% in 1998. The yield on interest bearing deposits declined from 5.05% in
1997 to 4.87% in 1998. The cost of average total interest bearing liabilities
during the year ended December 31, 1998 declined from 5.29% in 1997 to 5.18% in
1998. The average rate paid on savings accounts declined 39 basis points from
3.36% in 1997 to 2.97% in 1998. The average rate paid on certificates of
deposits declined 9 basis points from 5.50% in 1997 to 5.41% in 1998.
Net interest income was $3.5 million for the year ended December 31,
1997, 33.9% greater than the $2.60 million reported during calendar year 1996.
This improvement in net interest income was primarily due to volume increases in
the securities and loan portfolios and to a decline in the average cost of
interest bearing liabilities. Average loans increased 9.6% for the year ended
December 31, 1997. The average balance of the securities portfolio was $22.6
million in calendar 1997, up $7.74 million, or 51.9% over calendar 1996.
Although market interest rates were in a declining trend during the year ended
December 31, 1997, the yield on average loans increased 20 basis points from
8.30% in 1996 to 8.50% in 1997. The average yield on securities declined from
7.4% in 1996 to 7.0% in 1997. Also contributing to the improvement in net
interest income for the year ended December 31, 1997 was a decline in the cost
of average total interest bearing liabilities from 5.6% in 1996 to 5.3% in 1997.
The average rate paid on interest bearing deposits decreased 7 basis points,
from 5.12% to 5.05%, and the average rate paid on certificates of deposit
declined 10 basis points from 5.60% to 5.50%. The increase in net interest
margin was achieved from both volume gains and widening spreads. The increase in
average securities was a result of loan demand not keeping pace with increases
in deposits. This trend reversed in late 1997 as a result of the expanded branch
network and additional loan demand.
Net interest income was $1.3 million for the six month period ended
December 31, 1996, 15.5% greater than the $1.2 million reported for the same
period in 1995. This improvement in net interest income was primarily due to
volume increases in the securities portfolio and to higher average yields on the
loan portfolio. The average balance of the securities portfolio was $17.6
million for the six month
22
<PAGE>
period ended December 31, 1996, up 124.7% over the same period in 1995. The
average balance of the loan portfolio was $83.8 million for the six month period
ended December 31, 1996, up 7.6% over the same period in 1995. The yield on
average loans increased 4 basis points from 8.2% during the six month period
ended December 31, 1995 to 8.24% for the same period in 1996, while the yield on
securities declined 182 basis points to 7.15% for the six month period ended
December 31, 1996 from 8.97% for the same period in 1995. Also contributing to
the improved net interest margin was a 38 basis point decrease in the rate paid
on average interest bearing liabilities to 5.6% for the six month period ended
December 31, 1996 from 5.9% for the same period in 1995.
The following tables set forth average balances of total interest
earning assets and total interest bearing liabilities for the periods indicated,
showing the average distribution of assets, liabilities, stockholders' equity
and the related income, expense and corresponding weighted average yields and
costs.

Interest Sensitivity
An important element of both earnings performance and liquidity is the
management of the interest sensitivity gap. The interest sensitivity gap is the
difference between interest-sensitive assets and interest-sensitive liabilities
maturing or repricing within a specific time interval. The gap can be managed by
repricing assets or liabilities, by selling investments, by replacing an asset
or liability prior to maturity, or by adjusting the interest rate during the
life of an asset or liability. Matching the amounts of assets and liabilities
repricing in the same time interval helps to hedge the risk and minimize the
impact on net income of changes in market interest rates. Guaranty evaluates
interest rate risk and then formulates guidelines regarding asset generation and
pricing, funding sources and pricing, and off-balance sheet commitments in order
to decrease sensitivity risk. These guidelines are based upon management's
outlook regarding future interest rate movements, the state of the regional and
national economy, and other financial and business risk factors.
At June 30, 1999, Guaranty had $7.9 million more liabilities than
assets that reprice within one year or less and therefore was in a liability
- -sensitive position. A negative gap can adversely affect earnings in period of
rising interest rates. This negative position is the result of investments in
securities with a maturity of over five years coupled with fixed rate borrowings
and certificates of deposit reaching maturity in one year or less and short term
borrowings used to fund loans also maturing in one year or less.
Guaranty has an Asset/Liability Committee ("ALCO"). The ALCO meets to
discuss deposit pricing, changes in borrowed money, investment and trading
activity, loan sale activities, liquidity levels and the overall interest
sensitivity. The actions of this committee are reported to the Board of
Directors monthly. The daily monitoring of interest rate risk, investment and
trading activity, along with any other significant transactions are managed by
the CEO with input from other ALCO members.

(2) Guaranty has found that NOW accounts are generally not sensitive to changes
in interest rates and therefore has placed such deposits in the "over 5
years" category.
(3) In accordance with standard industry practice, weighted average life
factors have been applied to savings and money market deposit accounts
Of Guaranty's commercial and construction loans with a maturity of more
than one year, approximately $3.4 million have fixed interest rates and $19.5
million have variable interest rates.
Investments
At June 30, 1999, Guaranty had $30.2 million in total available for
sale securities, an increase of 12.2% from $26.9 million at December 31, 1998.
Total available for sale securities increased 122.1% to $26.9 million at
December 31, 1998 from $11.6 million at December 31, 1997. The overall increase
in both periods was primarily a result of management's efforts to increase the
interest margin by investing money received from the increase in deposits and
proceeds from the trust preferred securities, offset by the increase in loans.

approximately $971,000.
Loans
Net loans consist of total loans minus undisbursed loan funds, deferred
loan fees and the allowance for loan losses. Net loans were $185.8 million at
June 30, 1999, an increase of 14.45% from December 31, 1998. Net loans were
$162.4 million at December 31, 1998, an increase of 62.9% over December 31,
1997. Net loans were $99.67 million at December 31, 1997, an increase of 22.6%

===========================================================================================================================
</TABLE>
The growth of our loan portfolio and the change in its composition
reflects our growth strategy and the conversion of Guaranty Bank from a savings
association to a commercial bank. At June 30, 1996, we had no commercial
business loans. Construction loans accounted for only 10.0% of gross loans,
while residential mortgage loans represented 75.2% of gross loans. In contrast,
at June 30, 1999, commercial business loans, construction loans and residential
mortgage loans, respectively, represented 21.3%, 30.1% and 35.2% of gross loans.
The dollar amount of Guaranty's residential mortgage loans has been relatively
constant since June 30, 1996. This does not reflect a decision to de-emphasize
mortgage lending. Rather, it reflects a decision in 1997 to sell all new
conforming fixed-rate mortgage loans in the secondary mortgage market.

</TABLE>
Contractual principal repayments of loans do not necessarily reflect
the actual term of Guaranty's loan portfolio. The average life of mortgage loans
is substantially less than their contractual terms because of loan prepayments
and enforcement of due-on-sale clauses, which gives Guaranty the right to
declare a loan immediately due and payable in the event, among other things, the
borrower sells the real property subject to the mortgage and the loan is not
repaid. In addition, certain borrowers increase their equity in the security
property by making payments in excess of those required under the terms of the
mortgage.

<PAGE>
Asset Quality
Asset quality is an important factor in the successful operation of a
financial institution. Banking regulations require insured institutions to
classify their own assets and to establish prudent general allowances for losses
for assets classified as "substandard" or "doubtful." For the portion of assets
classified as "loss," an institution is required to either establish specific
allowances of 100% of the amount classified or charge such amounts off its
books.
Assets which do not currently expose Guaranty to sufficient risk to
warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories but posses
potential weaknesses are required to be designated "special mention" by
management. On the basis of management's review of its assets, at June 30, 1999,
Guaranty had classified $2.8 million of it's assets as substandard, and none as
doubtful or loss. Not all of Guaranty's assets that have been classified are
included in the table of non-performing assets set forth below. Several of these
loans are classified because of previous credit problems but are performing.
Unless well secured and in the process of collection, Guaranty places
loans on a nonaccrual status after being delinquent greater than 90 days, or
earlier in situations in which the loans have developed inherent problems that
indicate payment of principal and interest may not be made in full. Whenever the
accrual of interest is stopped, previously accrued but uncollected interest
income is reversed. Thereafter, interest is recognized only as cash is received.
The loan is reinstated to an accrual basis after it has been brought current as
to principal and interest under the contractual terms of the loan.
The following table reflects the composition of nonperforming assets at
the dates indicated.

Delinquent and problem loans
When a borrower fails to make a required payment on a loan, Guaranty
attempts to cure the delinquency by contacting the borrower. A notice is mailed
to the borrower after a payment is 15 days past due and again when the loan is
30 days past due. For most loans, if the delinquency is not cured within 60
days, Guaranty issues a notice of intent to foreclose on the property and if the
delinquency is not cured within 90 days, Guaranty may institute foreclosure
action. In most cases, deficiencies are cured promptly.
Allowance for losses on loans and real estate
Guaranty provides valuation allowances for anticipated losses on loans
and real estate when its management determines that a significant decline in the
value of the collateral has occurred, and if the value of the collateral is less
than the amount of the unpaid principal of the related loan plus estimated costs
of acquisition and sale. In addition, Guaranty also provides reserves based on
the dollar amount and type of collateral securing its loans, in order to protect
against unanticipated losses. A loss experience percentage is established for
each loan type and is reviewed annually. Each quarter, the loss percentage is
applied to the portfolio, by product type, to determine the minimum amount of
reserves required. Although management believes that it uses the best
information available to make such determinations, future adjustments to
reserves may be necessary, and net income could be significantly affected, if
circumstances differ substantially from assumptions used in making the initial
determinations.
An analysis of the allowance for loan losses, including charge-off
activity, is presented below for the periods indicated.

Provision for loan losses
For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the provision for loan losses
was $165,000 compared to $95,100 for the six months ended June 30, 1998. For the
year ended December 31, 1998, the provision for loan losses was $184,200,
compared to $122,000 at December 31, 1997 and $92,000 for the six month period
ended December 31, 1996. The provision for loan losses increased to $57,000 for
the year ended June 30, 1996 compared to a credit of $10,000 for the same period
ended 1995.
Guaranty monitors its loan loss allowance monthly and makes provisions
as necessary. Management believes that the level of Guaranty's loan loss reserve
is adequate.
A breakdown of the general allowance for loan losses in dollars and
loans in each category to total loans in percentages is provided in the
following tables. Because all of these factors are subject to change, the
breakdown is not necessarily predictive of future loan losses in the indicated
categories.

</TABLE>
For the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, non-interest income
was $951,000 and $1.1 million, respectively. This decrease was a result of a
$271 thousand decrease in gains on the sales of loans and securities which was
partially off set by an increase in service charges on checking of $89,000. For
the year ended December 31, 1998, non-interest income was $2.0 million, compared
to $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. During 1998 there were
increased fees with the addition of the commercial loan department and service
charges on commercial checking accounts which carry higher fees and an increase
in fees on other checking accounts. These increases were offset by a market
value impairment recognized on the servicing asset for $342,000.
Loans and securities sales were a result of the continued strategy of
selling all newly originated fixed rate mortgage loans in the secondary market,
restructuring of the balance sheet to reduce interest rate risk relating to
fixed rate mortgages, and to provide liquidity to fund anticipated loan
closings.
Mortgage loan servicing is a significant business for Guaranty, and a
by-product of its residential lending business. Guaranty derives fees from
mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs"). Loan servicing includes collecting and
remitting loan payments, accounting for principal and interest, holding escrow
funds for payment of taxes and insurance, making required inspections of the
mortgaged premises, contacting delinquent mortgagors, supervising foreclosures
in the event of unremitted defaults and generally administering the loans for
the investors to whom they have been sold. MSRs are intangible assets that
represent the rights to service mortgage loans and in turn to receive the
service fee income associated with the mortgage loans. MSRs are amortized
against income over the estimated average lives of the loans serviced. If loans
are prepaid at rates faster than those originally assumed, adjustments may be
required to the unamortized balance, which could result in charges to current
earnings. Conversely, slower prepayments rates could result in increases in
mortgage loan servicing income in future periods. Impairment of MSRs is assessed
based on the fair value of those rights. Fair values are estimated using
discounted cash flows based on a current market interest rate. For the purposes
of measuring impairment, the rights are stratified based on the predominant risk
characteristics of the underlying loans. The amount of impairment recognized is
the amount by which capitalized MSRs for a stratum exceed their fair value. At
June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 MSRs totaled $2,902,000 and $1,978,000,
respectively. Impairment on these rights was $26,000 and $342,000 at June 30,
1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively. See "Financial Statements - Summary of
Accounting Policies." At June 30, 1999, December 31, 1998 and 1997 loans
serviced for others totaled $222.4 million, $173.1 million and $123.8 million,
respectively. Guaranty serviced loans for others aggregating approximately
$172.8 million at December 31, 1996, and $168.4 million at June 30, 1996.
36
<PAGE>
Guaranty sells fixed rate residential production on an individual loan
basis and securitizes the loans through the creation of Federal National
Mortgage Association ("FNMA"), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC")
and Governmental National Mortgage Association ("GMNA") mortgage-backed
securities.
During the six months ended June 30, 1999 and the years ended December
31, 1998 and 1997, Guaranty sold $26.0 million, $60.3 million and $24.4 million,
respectively, of loans and securitized loans. Guaranty sold $11.8 million for
the six month period ended December 31, 1996 and $7.3 million during fiscal year
ended June 30, 1996. The sale of fixed rate product creates liquidity and an
income stream from servicing fees on loans sold.
Guaranty also trades treasury securities in an effort to take advantage
of short term movements in market interest rates. It is Guaranty's policy not to
hold trading securities with a cost in excess of $5.0 million at one time.
Trading securities are marked to market monthly. Sales of trading account
securities totaled $19.9 million, $105.9 million, $89.5 million, $35.3 million,
and $107.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 1999, the years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997, the six month period ended December 31, 1996 and the
year ended June 30, 1996, respectively. Guaranty experienced losses of $273,000,
$302,000, $255,000 and $64,000 on such sales for the six months ended June 30,
1999, the year ended December 31, 1998, the six month period ended December 31,
1996 and the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, respectively, and a gain of $5,000
in the year ended December 31, 1997.
Loan fees, net of loan underwriting and closing costs, are deferred and
amortized into income over the estimated remaining lives of the loans to which
they relate. Guaranty had deferred fees, net of direct underwriting costs, of
$47,000, $113,000, $283,000 and $290,000 at June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998,
1997 and 1996, respectively.
Non-Interest Expenses
For the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, non-interest expenses
were $3.4 million and $2.4 million, respectively. For the year ended December
31, 1998, non-interest expenses were $5.8 million, compared to $3.9 million for
the year ended December 31, 1997. The increases in the six months ended June 30,
1999 compared to June 30, 1998 and for the year ended December 31, 1998 compared
to December 31, 1999 was due primarily to increased costs associated with the
expanded branch network and staffing the commercial loan department. For the six
month period ended December 31, 1996, non-interest expenses were $1.7 million
compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 1995. This increase was
primarily due to the overall growth of the Corporation. Non-interest expenses
were $2.5 million for the year ended June 30, 1996.

Income Taxes
Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
were $270,000 and $261,000 respectively. The decrease in income tax expense is
primarily the result of a reallocation of state income taxes to state franchise
taxes. Income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, and
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 was, $624,000, $486,000, and $344,000,
respectively. The increases are a direct result of increased earnings. For the
six month period ended December 31, 1996 the Corporation reported an income tax
benefit of $3,500 due to a loss before taxes of $10,000.
Sources of Funds
Deposits
Deposits have been the principal source of Guaranty's funds for use in
lending and for other general business purposes. In addition to deposits,
Guaranty derives funds from loan repayments, cash flows generated from
operations, which includes interest credited to deposit accounts, repurchase
agreements entered into with commercial banks and FHLB of Atlanta advances.
Borrowings may be used to compensate for reductions in deposits or
deposit-inflows at less than projected levels and have been used on a
longer-term basis to support expanded lending activities.
Guaranty attracts both short-term and long-term deposits from the
general public by offering a wide assortment of accounts and rates. Guaranty
offers statement savings accounts, various checking accounts, various money
market accounts, fixed-rate certificates with varying maturities, individual
retirement accounts and is expanding to provide products and services for
businesses and brokered deposits. Guaranty's principal use of deposits is to
originate loans and fund investment securities.
At June 30, 1999, deposits were $194.0 million, an increase of 12.26%
from $172.8 million at December 31, 1998, and up 71.75% from $112.9 million at
December 31, 1997. Deposits were $81.4 million at December 31, 1996. The deposit
growth is a reflection of branch office growth, aggressive pricing, increased
marketing and bank consolidation in Guaranty's principal market. In order to
reduce the overall cost of funds and reduce the Corporation's reliance on high
cost time deposits and short term borrowings as a funding source, management
continues to direct extensive marketing efforts towards attracting lower cost
transaction accounts. However, there is no assurance that these efforts will be
successful, or if successful, will reduce the Corporations reliance on time
deposits and short term borrowings.
The following table sets forth the dollar amount of deposits in the
various types of deposit programs offered by Guaranty at the dates indicated.

The variety of deposit accounts offered by Guaranty has allowed it to
be competitive in obtaining funds and has allowed it to respond with flexibility
to, although not to eliminate, the threat of disintermediation (the flow of
funds away from depository institutions such as banking institutions into direct
investment vehicles such as government and corporate securities). The ability of
Guaranty to attract and maintain deposits, and its cost of funds, has been, and
will continue to be, significantly affected by money market conditions.

Borrowings
As a member of the FHLB of Atlanta, Guaranty is required to own capital
stock in the FHLB of Atlanta and is authorized to apply for advances from the
FHLB of Atlanta. Each FHLB credit program has its own interest rate, which may
be fixed or variable, and range of maturities. The FHLB of Atlanta may prescribe
the acceptable uses to which these advances may be put, as well as on the size
of the advances and repayment provisions. The advances are collateralized by
Guaranty's investment in Federal Home Loan Bank stock and certain mortgage
loans. See the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information
regarding the maturities and rate structure of Guaranty's FHLB advances. At June
30, 1999, $30.0 million was outstanding to the FHLB.
Guaranty's borrowings also include securities sold under agreements to
repurchase and federal funds purchased. Securities sold under agreements to
repurchase are collateralized with mortgage-backed securities or Treasury
securities. The proceeds are used by Guaranty for general corporate purposes. At
June 30, 1999, Guaranty had $2.9 million outstanding in securities sold under
agreement to repurchase. At June 30, 1999, Guaranty had $4.2 million outstanding
in federal funds purchased.
Guaranty uses borrowings to supplement deposits when they are available
at a lower overall cost to Guaranty or they can be invested at a positive rate
of return.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability to meet present and future financial
obligations either through the sale of existing assets or the acquisition of
additional funds through asset and liability management. Cash flow projections
are regularly reviewed and updated to assure that adequate liquidity is
provided. As a result of Guaranty's management of liquid assets and the ability
to generate liquidity through increasing deposits, management believes that
Guaranty maintains overall liquidity that is sufficient to satisfy its
depositors' requirements and meet its customers' credit needs.
Guaranty's primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings, and
amortization, prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans and investments,
and loan sales. While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and
securities are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan
prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic
conditions and competition. Excess funds are invested in overnight deposits to
fund cash requirements experienced in the normal course of business. Guaranty
has been able to generate sufficient cash through its deposits as well as
borrowings.
Cash and cash equivalents were approximately $13.9 million, $10.5
million and $6.0 million at June 30, 1999, and December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, financing activities
provided $35.4 million, primarily as a result of a net increase in deposits of
approximately $21.2 million and an increase in advances from the Federal Home
Loan Bank and other borrowings of approximately $13.2. Approximately $1.1
million was absorbed by operating activities. In addition, investing activities
absorbed approximately $30.9 million which was primarily a result of a net
increase in loans of approximately $24.3 million, net investment securities
purchases of $4.9 million, and purchases of office properties and equipment of
approximately $1.6 million.
During the year ended December 31, 1998, financing activities provided
$84.7 million primarily as a result of net advances from FHLB of $21.0 million,
net increase in deposits of approximately $59.9 million and proceeds from
issuance of convertible preferred securities of $6.9 million. Approximately
42
<PAGE>
$596,000 was absorbed by operating activities which was primarily a result of an
increase in other assets which includes a $1.5 million increase in originated
mortgage servicing rights, and an increase in accrued interest receivable of
approximately $807,000. In addition, investing activities absorbed approximately
$79.5 million which was primarily a result of a net increase in loans of
approximately $62.7 million, net investment securities purchases of $14.7
million, and purchases of office properties and equipment of approximately $1.5
million.
During the year ended December 31, 1997, financing activities provided
$14.3 million primarily as a result of net proceeds from the issuance of common
stock of $4.4 million, and net increase in deposits of approximately $31.5
million offset by a decrease in FHLB advances of $17.5 million. Approximately
$16.0 million was provided by operating activities which was primarily a result
of net sales of trading securities of $15.7 million. In addition, investing
activities absorbed approximately $30.5 million which was primarily a result of
a net increase in loans of approximately $18.5 million, net investment
securities purchases of $11.4 million, and purchases of office properties and
equipment of approximately $1.4 million.
For the six months ended December 31, 1996, cash and cash equivalents
increased $645,000 to $6.1 million as net cash provided by investing and
financing activities exceeded the cash used in operating activities. The $2.1
million of cash provided by investing activities resulted mainly from a net
decrease in loans while the $6.7 million of cash provided by financing
activities resulted mainly from a net increase in deposits.
Guaranty uses its sources of funds primarily to meet operating needs,
to pay deposit withdrawals and fund loan commitments. At June 30, 1999, and
December 31, 1998 and 1997 total approved loan commitments were $10.7 million,
$9.6 million and $3.8 million respectively. In addition, at June 30, 1999, and
December 31, 1998 and 1997, commitments under unused lines of credit were $58.5
million, $52.3 million and $14.3 million, respectively. At December 31, 1996 and
June 30, 1996, the total approved loan commitments outstanding amounted to $3.0
million and $3.9 million, respectively. At the same dates, commitments under
unused lines of credit amounted to $6.4 million and $5.4 million. Certificates
of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at June 30, 1999, totaled
$104.1 million. Management believes that a significant portion of maturing
deposits will remain with Guaranty.
Management intends to fund anticipated loan closings and operating
needs during 1999 through cash on hand, brokered deposits, proceeds from the
sale of loans and securities, cash generated from operations and anticipated
increases in deposits. Current and anticipated marketing programs will be
primarily targeted at the attraction of lower cost transaction accounts.
Concurrent with the strategies employed to attract these accounts, management
plans to gradually reduce the rate paid on time deposits in comparison to the
competition. However, the pricing of time deposits will be balanced against
upcoming maturities to ensure that liquidity is not adversely impacted by a
large run off of time deposits.
Capital represents funds, earned or obtained, over which financial
institutions can exercise greater control in comparison with deposits and
borrowed funds. The adequacy of Guaranty's capital is reviewed by management on
an ongoing basis with reference to size, composition and quality of Guaranty's
resources and consistent with regulatory requirements and industry standards.
Management seeks to maintain a capital structure that will support anticipated
asset growth and absorb any potential losses. In an effort to increase the
capital base, Guaranty's wholly-owned subsidiary Guaranty Capital Trust I issued
$6.9 million of 7.0% cumulative convertible trust preferred securities in April
1998. The proceeds, less issuance costs of approximately $276,000 were added to
the Bank's capital.

Guaranty and Guaranty Bank are subject to regulatory capital
requirements of the Federal Reserve. At June 30, 1999, Guaranty exceeded all
such regulatory capital requirements as shown in the following table.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices and Seasonality
The financial statements in this document have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which require the
measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical
dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money
over time due to inflation.
Unlike industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and
liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result,
interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution's
performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do
not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the price
of goods and services, since such prices are affected by inflation.
Accounting Rules
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities ("SFAS 133"), which establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. SFAS 133 requires that
an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. If
certain requirements are met, a derivative may be specifically
44
<PAGE>
designated as a hedge and an entity that elects to apply hedge accounting is
required to establish at the inception of the hedge the method it will use for
assessing the effectiveness of the hedging derivative and the measurement
approach for determining the ineffective aspect of the hedge. Those methods must
be consistent with the entity's approach to managing risk. SFAS 133 is effective
for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000 and
requires application prospectively.
Subsidiary Activities
The Holding Company has two subsidiaries Guaranty Bank and Guaranty
Capital Trust I (the "Trust"). The Trust was formed on April 29, 1998 and is the
holder of Guaranty's convertible subordinated debentures in the principal amount
of $6,900,000. See Note 13 in the Consolidated Financial Statements for
information regarding the terms of the securities. The Bank has two wholly owned
subsidiaries, GMSC, Inc. ("GMSC") and Guaranty Investments Corporation ("GICO").
Guaranty sells non-deposit investment products through GICO. GICO had a net loss
of $19,000 and $17,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively, and $15,800 and $27,000 for the years ended December 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively and net income of $3,000 and $1,000 for the six month period
ended December 31, 1996 and the year ended June 30, 1996, respectively.
In 1987, Guaranty formed GMSC and entered into a REMIC in order to
create liquidity. Guaranty utilized the REMIC to pool $19.9 million of fixed
rate mortgages into mortgage backed securities, which were used as collateral
for bonds sold to private investors. The bonds bore a coupon of 8% and were sold
at a discount and costs of issuance of approximately $3.3 million. The bonds
discount and issuance costs are amortized against income as mortgages underlying
the bonds repay. In the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, with rapidly
falling interest rates, Guaranty experienced significant repayment of mortgages,
resulting in an amortization expense of $160,000 and $124,000, respectively. For
the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the six month period ended
December 31, 1996, amortization expense was $101,000, $64,000 and $39,000,
respectively. In the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, such amortization
expense was $105,000 and $65,000, respectively. The amortization of the REMIC
expenses is treated as interest expense.
Year 2000 Issues
Many existing computer programs use only two digits to identify a year
in the date field. These programs were designed and developed without
considering the impact of the change in the century. If not corrected, many
date-sensitive applications could fail or create erroneous results by or in the
year 2000. Guaranty understands the importance of having systems and equipment
operational through the year 2000 and beyond and is committed to addressing
these challenges while continuing to fulfill its obligations to its customers.
Year 2000 readiness is a major undertaking involving the review and
modification of multiple, interacting information technology systems, including
Guaranty's systems, equipment, facilities, services and products as well as
those of third parties, including vendors, service contractors, creditors,
borrowers and other financial service organizations. Certain equipment and
facilities, such as telephones, voicemail and elevators, may contain embedded
chips or microcontrollers that will need to be replaced.
Guaranty began its formal Year 2000 compliance program in 1998 to
analyze the possible application to Guaranty of the Year 2000 issue and the
development of a plan to prevent the problem from adversely affecting its
operations. Guaranty currently has a Year 2000 committee, a Year 2000
Implementation Plan and a Year 2000 Contingency Plan. Guaranty's Year 2000 plans
are subject to guidelines and recommendations promulgated by the Federal
Financial Institutions Examination Council
45
<PAGE>
("FFIEC"). The Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond periodically reviews the status
of Guaranty's plans and progress with site visits and teleconferences.
In accordance with current FFIEC regulations, the Year 2000 plans, as
adopted and refined by Guaranty to handle Year 2000 issues, can be divided into
two principal areas:
1. Resolution of the internal aspects of the Year 2000 issue. The
focus of this area includes the effects of the Year 2000 issue
on Guaranty's technology, including computer hardware and
software systems. Guaranty's internal technology plan includes
(a) locating, listing and prioritizing the specific technology
that is potentially subject to the Year 2000 issue (referred
to as the "awareness" phase), (b) assessing the actual
exposure of such technology to the Year 2000 issue by inquiry,
research, testing and other means (the "assessment" phase),
(c) selecting the method necessary to resolve the Year 2000
issues that were identified, including replacement, upgrade,
repair or abandonment and implementing the selected resolution
method (the "renovation" phase), and (d) testing the
remediated or converted technology to determine the efficacy
of the resolutions (the "validation" phase).
2. Determination and control of the external aspects of the Year
2000 issue. The focus of this area includes (a) assessing the
potential for credit and liquidity risks within Guaranty as a
result of the investments in, loans to and deposits from our
significant customers as well as the risk of possible business
interruption by relying on vendors of goods and services whose
technology or business is affected by the Year 2000 issue, and
(b) developing contingency plans to address failures by
external parties to remediate fully any Year 2000 issues that
are material to Guaranty. Assessment of external parties is
accomplished by written and verbal inquiry, and by research to
the extent that reliable information is available.
The Year 2000 committee has spent considerable time testing both the
internal and external applications deemed as "mission critical" to daily
business operations. These applications affect Guaranty's customer information
files. The testing was completed before FFIEC's June 30, 1999 deadline to
confirm compliance with Year 2000 data processing standards deadline.
Guaranty's Year 2000 Contingency Plan, in accordance with FFIEC
regulations, sets forth in detail the procedures that Guaranty and its employees
will follow in order to handle the most reasonably likely worst case Year 2000
scenario. These procedures cover, among other concerns, how Guaranty will
continue to maintain customer records and accept banking transactions in the
event of a systems or other power or communications failure and how it will
likewise continue its daily banking operations. The contingency plan, and all
test results on Guaranty's internal and external applications, were reviewed by
the Virginia State Corporation Commission's Year 2000 examiner. The review
yielded the highest rating for Year 2000 readiness (satisfactory).
As part of the 1998 strategic plan, and in conjunction with the Year
2000 readiness plan, Guaranty upgraded its entire computer system, including
hardware and software. The changes not only make the institution better prepared
for any potential Year 2000 problems, but have also allowed Guaranty to offer
more sophisticated products, lower potential down time and increase customer
service. Total costs are approximately $325,000, with the majority of the
expenses being incurred in late 1998 and the first quarter of 1999. Included in
non-interest expense for the first six months of 1999 is $200,000 associated
with the Year 2000 issue. All of the system changes are currently fully
operational and Guaranty continually assesses the systems for full
functionality.
46
<PAGE>
Additionally, Guaranty monitors the readiness of its vendors and larger
customers to insure that the risk to Guaranty is minimized. Currently, Guaranty
requires all credit customers with total exposure of over $1 million to fill out
a Year 2000 readiness assessment form. The progress of the answers are reported
to the Year 2000 committee on a regular basis.
Guaranty and its Year 2000 committee feel strongly that customer
education and awareness are crucial to the success of the year 2000 plans.
Notifications of the test results were sent out to customers in June 1999. In
addition, Guaranty has trained all customer contact employees on responding to
customer concerns over Y2K issues.
Guaranty believes that it has identified all of the business systems
vital to its operations and that its Year 2000 plans will result in the
continuation of Guaranty's operations to and through the Year 2000 and beyond.
However, the Year 2000 issue, and its resolution, is complex and multifaceted;
Guaranty believes that no entity can address the virtually unlimited possible
circumstances relating to year 2000 issues, including risks outside of
Guaranty's primary market area. The success of a response plan cannot be
conclusively known until the Year 2000 is reached (or an earlier date to the
extent that systems and equipment address Year 2000 date data prior to year
2000). Even with appropriate and diligent pursuit of a well-conceived response
plan, including testing procedures, there is no certainty that any company will
achieve complete success. However, Guaranty is diligently trying to ensure that
its significant systems, equipment, facilities, services and products will not
be adversely affected by the Year 2000 problem.
At this time, Guaranty believes that the most likely worst case Year
2000 scenario would not have a material effect on Guaranty's results of
operations, liquidity and financial condition for the year ending December 31,
2000. Guaranty does not foresee a material loss of revenue due to the Year 2000
problem. The Year 2000 Contingency Plan, however, is based on assessments of the
likelihood of a problematic occurrence. While considered unlikely, the failure
of Guaranty to successfully implement its Year 2000 plans, including
modifications and conversions, or to adequately assess the likelihood of various
events relating to the year 2000 issue, could have a material adverse effect on
Guaranty's results of operations and financial condition.
Additionally, there can be no assurances that the federal regulators
will not issue new regulatory requirements that require additional work by
Guaranty and, if issued, that new regulatory requirements will not increase the
cost or delay the completion of Guaranty's year 2000 plan.
The cost of the project and the date on which Guaranty plans to
complete the Year 2000 modifications are based on management's best estimates,
which are based on numerous assumptions of future events including the continued
availability of certain resources, third party modification plans and other
factors. There can be no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and
actual results could differ materially from Guaranty's plans. Specific factors
that might cause such material differences include, but are not limited to, the
availability of personnel trained in this area, the ability of third party
vendors to correct their software and hardware, the ability of significant
customers to remedy their Year 2000 issues and similar uncertainties.

Directors' Fees
Directors, excluding directors who are officers of Guaranty, received
fees of $550 for each meeting of the Board of Directors attended and $300 for
each Compensation, Planning and Audit Committee meeting attended during fiscal
1998. Mr. Caton, who is an ex officio member of all Committees and devotes
additional time to Guaranty's affairs as Chairman of the Board of Directors,
received a fee of $32,500 in the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, in lieu of
any fees for attending Board of Directors and Committee meetings.
Employment Agreements
Guaranty and Thomas P. Baker are parties to an employment agreement,
entered into in February 1999, that provides for Mr. Baker to serve as President
and Chief Executive Officer of Guaranty. The agreement is for a period ending
February 23, 2004, and provides for a base salary of $150,000, which the Board
of Directors may increase. If Mr. Baker's employment is terminated for reasons
other than cause, he will be entitled to receive severance pay equal to his
annual base salary in effect at the time.
If termination of employment due to a change in control had occurred in
fiscal 1998, Mr. Baker would have been entitled to severance payments amounting
to approximately $122,600. Under the employment agreement entered into in
February 1999, if his employment terminates for any reason within 120 days of a
change in control, Mr. Baker will be entitled to severance payments
approximately equal to 299% of his average cash compensation for the five years
that precede the change in control.

Transactions with Management
Some of the directors and officers of Guaranty are at present, as in
the past, customers of Guaranty, and Guaranty has had, and expects to have in
the future, banking transactions in the ordinary course of its business with
directors, officers, principal shareholders and their associates, on
substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral on loans,
as those prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions with others.
These transactions do not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or
present other unfavorable features. The largest aggregate outstanding balance of
loans to directors, executive officers and their associates as a group in the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, was approximately $1,124,292. Such balances
totaled $1,124,292 at December 31, 1998, or 9.0% of Guaranty's equity capital at
that date.
There are no legal proceedings to which any director, officer,
principal shareholder or associate is a party that would be material and adverse
to Guaranty.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), requires Guaranty's directors and executive officers, and any
persons who own more than 10% of Common Stock, to file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") reports of ownership and changes in ownership of
common stock. Officers and directors are required by SEC regulation to furnish
Guaranty with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file. Based solely on
review of the copies of such reports furnished to Guaranty or written
representation that no other reports were required, Guaranty believes that,
during fiscal year 1998, all filing requirements applicable to its officers and
directors were complied with.
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
Guaranty's authorized capital stock consists of 4,000,000 shares of
common stock, par value $1.25 per share and 500,000 shares of preferred stock.
Guaranty had 1,501.727 issued and outstanding shares of common stock held by
1,203333 stockholders of record, at June 30, 1999. All outstanding shares of
common stock are fully paid and nonassessable. Guaranty's board of directors has
not authorized the issuance of any class or series of preferred stock.
Common Stock
Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to receive dividends
when and as declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available
therefor, provided, however, that the payment of dividends to holders of shares
of common stock is subject to the preferential dividend rights of any preferred
stock that the board of directors authorizes for issuance in the future.
In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Guaranty,
the holders of common stock (and the holders of any class or series of stock
entitled to participate with the common stock in the distribution of assets)
shall be entitled to receive, in cash or in kind, the assets of Guaranty
available for distribution remaining after (i) payment or provision for payment
of Guaranty's debts and liabilities and (ii) distributions or provision for
distributions to holders of any class or series of stock having preference over
the common stock in the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Guaranty.
Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all
matters submitted to stockholders. There are no cumulative voting rights in the
election of directors. Guaranty's stockholders
53
<PAGE>
do not have preemptive rights to purchase additional shares of any class of
Guaranty's capital stock. Holders of common stock have no conversion or
redemption rights. The shares of common stock presently outstanding are, and the
common stock to be issued in connection with the offering will be when issued,
fully paid and nonassessable. Registrar and Transfer Company is the transfer
agent and registrar for the common stock.
Preferred Stock
Guaranty's articles of incorporation authorize the board of directors
to determine the preferences, limitations and relative rights of any class or
series of preferred stock before the issuance of any shares of that class or
series. To date, Guaranty's board of directors has not authorized the issuance
of any class or series of preferred stock.
Limitations on Liability of Officers and Directors
Limitations on Liability. The articles of incorporation of Guaranty
provide that to the full extent that Virginia law permits the limitation or
elimination of the liability of directors and officers, they will not be liable
to Guaranty or its shareholders for any money damages in excess of one dollar.
At this time Virginia law does not permit any limitation of liability if a
director engages in willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal
law or any federal or state securities law.
To the fullest extent permitted by Virginia law, Guaranty's articles of
incorporation require it to indemnify any director or officer of Guaranty who is
made a party to any proceeding because he was or is a director or officer of
Guaranty against any liability, including reasonable expenses and legal fees,
incurred in the proceeding. Under Guaranty's articles of incorporation,
"proceeding" is broadly defined to include pending, threatened or completed
actions of all types, including actions by or in the right of Guaranty.
Similarly, "liability" is defined to include, not only judgments, but also
settlements, penalties, fines and certain excise taxes. Guaranty's articles of
incorporation also provide that Guaranty may, but is not obligated to, indemnify
its other employees or agents. Guaranty must indemnify any person who is or was
serving at the written requests of Guaranty as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, to the full extent provided by Virginia law. The indemnification
provisions also require Guaranty to pay reasonable expenses incurred by a
director or officer of Guaranty in a proceeding in advance of the final
disposition of any such proceeding, provided that the indemnified person
undertakes to repay Guaranty if it is ultimately determined that such person was
not entitled to indemnification. At this time, Virginia law does not permit
indemnification against willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the
criminal law.
The rights of indemnification provided in Guaranty's articles of
incorporation are not exclusive of any other rights which may be available under
any insurance or other agreement, by vote of shareholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise. In addition, the articles of incorporation authorize
Guaranty to maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of Guaranty, whether or not Guaranty would have the
power to provide indemnification to such person.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling
Guaranty pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Guaranty has been informed that
in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
The discussion below is only a summary of the principal laws and
regulations that comprise the regulatory framework applicable to Guaranty and
Guaranty Bank. The descriptions of these laws and regulations, as well as
descriptions of laws and regulations contained elsewhere herein, do not purport
to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to applicable
laws and regulations.
As a bank holding company, Guaranty is subject to regulation under the
Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHCA") and the examination
and reporting requirements of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (the "Federal Reserve Board"). Under the BHCA, a bank holding company may
not directly or indirectly acquire ownership or control of more than 5% of the
voting shares or substantially all of the assets of any additional bank or merge
or consolidate with another bank holding company without the prior approval of
the Federal Reserve Board. The BHCA also generally limits the activities of a
bank holding company to that of banking, managing or controlling banks, or any
other activity which is determined to be so closely related to banking or to
managing or controlling banks that an exception is allowed for those activities.
As a state-chartered bank, Guaranty Bank is subject to regulation,
supervision and examination by the Virginia State Corporation Commission's
Bureau of Financial Institutions (the "Virginia SCC"). Guaranty Bank is also
subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Federal Reserve Board
and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"). State and federal
law also govern the activities in which Guaranty Bank may engage, the
investments it may make and the aggregate amount of loans that may be granted to
one borrower. Various consumer and compliance laws and regulations also affect
Guaranty Bank's operations.
The earnings of Guaranty are affected by general economic conditions,
management policies and the legislative and governmental actions of various
regulatory authorities, including those referred to above. The following
description summarizes some of the state and federal laws to which Guaranty and
Guaranty Bank are subject.
The Virginia SCC and the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond conduct
regular examinations of Guaranty Bank, reviewing such matters as the adequacy of
loan loss reserves, quality of loans and investments, management practices,
compliance with laws, and other aspects of their operations. In addition to
these regular examinations, Guaranty Bank must furnish the Virginia SCC and the
Federal Reserve with periodic reports containing a full and accurate statement
of its affairs. Supervision, regulation and examination of banks by these
agencies are intended primarily for the protection of depositors rather than
shareholders.
Insurance of Accounts, Assessments and Regulation by the FDIC. The
deposits of Guaranty Bank are insured by the FDIC up to the limits set forth
under applicable law. The deposits of Guaranty Bank are subject to the deposit
insurance assessments of the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") of the FDIC.
The FDIC is authorized to prohibit any BIF-insured institution from
engaging in any activity that the FDIC determines by regulation or order to pose
a serious threat to the respective insurance fund. Also, the FDIC may initiate
enforcement actions against banks, after first giving the institution's primary
regulatory authority an opportunity to take such action. The FDIC may terminate
the deposit insurance of any depository institution if it determines, after a
hearing, that the institution has engaged or is engaging in unsafe or unsound
practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has
violated any applicable law, regulation, order or any condition imposed in
writing by the FDIC. It also may suspend deposit insurance temporarily during
the hearing process for the permanent termination of insurance, if the
institution has no tangible capital. If deposit insurance is terminated, the
deposits at the
55
<PAGE>
institution at the time of termination, less subsequent withdrawals, shall
continue to be insured for a period from six months to two years, as determined
by the FDIC. Management is aware of no existing circumstances that could result
in termination of the Bank's deposit insurance.
Capital. The Federal Reserve Board has issued risk-based and leverage
capital guidelines applicable to banking organizations they supervise. Under the
risk-based capital requirements, Guaranty and the Bank are each generally
required to maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets
(including certain off-balance sheet activities, such as standby letters of
credit), of 8%. At least half of the total capital is to be composed of common
equity, retained earnings and qualifying perpetual preferred stock, less certain
intangibles ("Tier 1 capital"). The remainder may consist of certain
subordinated debt, certain hybrid capital instruments and other qualifying
preferred stock and a limited amount of the loan loss allowance ("Tier 2
capital" and, together with Tier 1 capital, "total capital"). At June 30, 1999,
Guaranty's Tier 1 capital and total capital ratios were 7.72% and 9.42%,
respectively.
In addition, each of the Federal bank regulatory agencies have
established minimum leverage capital ratio requirements for banking
organizations. These requirements provide for a minimum leverage ratio of Tier 1
capital to adjusted average quarterly assets equal to 3% for banks and bank
holding companies that meet certain specified criteria. All other banks and bank
holding companies will generally be required to maintain a leverage ratio of at
least 100 basis points above the stated minimum. Guaranty's Tier 1 leverage
ratio at June 30, 1999 was 6.91%.
The risk-based capital standards of the Federal Reserve Board
explicitly identify concentrations of credit risk and the risk arising from
non-traditional activities, as well as an institution's ability to manage these
risks, as important factors to be taken into account by the agency in assessing
an institution's overall capital adequacy. The capital guidelines also provide
that an institution's exposure to a decline in the economic value of its capital
due to changes in interest rates be considered by the agency as a factor in
evaluating a bank's capital adequacy. The Federal Reserve Board also has
recently issued additional capital guidelines for bank holding companies that
engage in certain trading activities.
Other Safety and Soundness Regulations. There are a number of
obligations and restrictions imposed on bank holding companies and their
depository institution subsidiaries by Federal law and regulatory policy that
are designed to reduce potential loss exposure to the depositors of such
depository institutions and to the FDIC insurance funds in the event the
depository institution becomes in danger of default or is in default. For
example, under a policy of the Federal Reserve Board with respect to bank
holding company operations, a bank holding company is required to serve as a
source of financial strength to its subsidiary depository institutions and to
commit resources to support such institutions in circumstances where it might
not do so otherwise. In addition, the "cross-guarantee" provisions of Federal
law require insured depository institutions under common control to reimburse
the FDIC for any loss suffered or reasonably anticipated by either the SAIF or
the BIF as a result of the default of a commonly controlled insured depository
institution or for any assistance provided by the FDIC to a commonly controlled
insured depository institution in danger of default. The FDIC may decline to
enforce the cross-guarantee provision if it determines that a waiver is in the
best interests of the SAIF or the BIF or both. The FDIC's claim for
reimbursement is superior to claims of shareholders of the insured depository
institution or its holding company but is subordinate to claims of depositors,
secured creditors and holders of subordinated debt (other than affiliates) of
the commonly controlled insured depository institution.
The Federal banking agencies also have broad powers under current
Federal law to take prompt corrective action to resolve problems of insured
depository institutions. The extent of these powers depends upon whether the
institution in question is well-capitalized, adequately capitalized,
56
<PAGE>
undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized or critically undercapitalized,
as defined by the law. As of December 31, 1998, Guaranty and the Bank were
classified as well-capitalized.
State regulatory authorities also have broad enforcement powers over
the Bank, including the power to impose fines and other civil and criminal
penalties, and to appoint a receiver in order to conserve the assets of any such
institution for the benefit of depositors and other creditors.
Payment of Dividends. Guaranty is a legal entity separate and distinct
from Guaranty Bank. Virtually all of the revenues of Guaranty result from
dividends paid to Guaranty by Guaranty Bank. Guaranty Bank also is subject to
state laws that limit the amount of dividends it can pay. In addition, both
Guaranty and the Bank are subject to various general regulatory policies
relating to the payment of dividends, including requirements to maintain
adequate capital above regulatory minimums. The Federal Reserve Board has
indicated, as a general rule, that banking organizations should pay dividends
only if the organization's net income available to common shareholders over the
past year has been sufficient to fund fully the dividends and the prospective
rate of earnings retention appears consistent with the organization's capital
needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. Guaranty does not expect
that any of these laws, regulations or policies will materially impact the
ability of Guaranty Bank to pay dividends.
Community Reinvestment. The requirements of the Community Reinvestment
Act ("CRA") are also applicable to Guaranty Bank. The CRA imposes on financial
institutions an affirmative and ongoing obligation to meet the credit needs of
their local communities, including low and moderate income neighborhoods,
consistent with the safe and sound operation of those institutions. A financial
institution's efforts in meeting community credit needs currently are evaluated
as part of the examination process pursuant to twelve assessment factors. These
factors also are considered in evaluating mergers, acquisitions and applications
to open a branch or facility. To the best knowledge of the Bank, it is meeting
its obligations under the CRA. Guaranty Bank's CRA rating is "satisfactory."
Interstate Banking and Branching. Current Federal law authorizes
interstate acquisitions of banks and bank holding companies without geographic
limitation. Effective June 1, 1997, banks headquartered in one state were
authorized to merge with a bank headquartered in another state, as long as
neither of the states has opted out of such interstate merger authority prior to
such date. States were authorized to enact laws permitting such interstate bank
merger transactions prior to June 1, 1997, as well as authorizing a bank to
establish "de novo" interstate branches. Virginia enacted early "opt in" laws,
permitting interstate bank merger transactions. Once a bank has established
branches in a state through an interstate merger transaction, the bank may
establish and acquire additional branches at any location in the state where a
bank headquartered in that state could have established or acquired branches
under applicable Federal or state law.
Economic and Monetary Policies. The operations of Guaranty are affected
not only by general economic conditions, but also by the economic and monetary
policies of various regulatory authorities. In particular, the Federal Reserve
regulates money, credit and interest rates in order to influence general
economic conditions. These policies have a significant influence on overall
growth and distribution of loans, investments and deposits and affect interest
rates charged on loans or paid for time and savings deposits. Federal Reserve
monetary policies have had a significant effect on the operating results of
commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the
future.

Guaranty Financial Corporation
Charlottesville, Virginia
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Guaranty Financial
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, comprehensive
income (loss), and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997,
the six months ended December 31, 1996, and for the year ended June 30, 1996.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
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 financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Guaranty Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and
1997, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years
ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, the six months ended December 31, 1996, and
the year ended June 30, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
As explained in the Summary of Accounting Policies, Guaranty Financial
Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 122 and
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 in the year ended June 30,
1996.

Nature of Business and Regulatory Environment
Guaranty Financial Corporation (the "Parent Company") is a bank holding company
whose principal asset is its wholly-owned subsidiary, Guaranty Bank (the
"Bank"). The Bank provides a full range of banking services to individual and
corporate customers. In these financial statements, the consolidated group is
referred to collectively as the "Corporation".
At June 30, 1997, the Bank was converted from a federal savings association to a
Virginia chartered Federal Reserve member bank. As a result, the Corporation
changed their year end from June 30, to December 31.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") is the federal deposit
insurance administrator for both banks and savings associations. The FDIC has
specific authority to prescribe and enforce such regulations and issue such
orders as it deems necessary to prevent actions or practices by financial
institutions that pose a serious threat to the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF").
Pursuant to the Economic Growth and Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996 (the "Act"),
the FDIC imposed a special assessment on Savings Association Insurance Fund
("SAIF") members to capitalize the SAIF to a designated reserve level. Prior to
the Bank's conversion to a state chartered bank, it was a member of SAIF and
therefore, subject to the SAIF special assessment. Based on the Bank's deposits
as of March 31, 1995, the date for measuring the special assessment, the Bank
was assessed approximately $347,000 during the six months ended December 31,
1996.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Guaranty Financial
Corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Guaranty Capital Trust I and
Guaranty Bank, and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiaries, GMSC, Inc. and Guaranty
Investment Corp. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in the consolidation.
Reorganization
On December 29, 1995, the Bank and the Parent Company consummated the
reorganization of the Bank into a unitary-thrift holding company structure
whereby the Bank became the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent Company. Each
outstanding share of the common stock of the Bank became one share of the common
stock of the Parent Company. This transaction was accounted for as a pooling of
interests.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment Securities
Investments in securities are classified as either held-to-maturity, trading, or
available for sale, according to management's intent and ability.
Investments in debt securities classified as held-to-maturity are stated at
cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts using the
level yield method. Management has a positive intent and ability to hold these
securities to maturity and, accordingly, adjustments are not made for temporary
declines in their market value below amortized cost. Investment in Federal Home
Loan Bank stock is stated at cost.
Investments in debt and equity securities classified as available-for-sale are
stated at market value with unrealized holding gains and losses excluded from
earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity, net of
tax effect, until realized.
Investments in debt and equity securities classified as trading are stated at
market value. Unrealized holding gains and losses for trading securities are
included in the statement of operations.
Gains and losses on the sale of securities are determined using the specific
identification method.
Options
Premiums received for writing put and call options are recorded as a liability
and are taken into income if the option is closed prior to maturity or expires.
Upon exercise of the option, the premium is treated as an adjustment to the
basis of the underlying security.
Loans Held for Sale
Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are
carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value in the aggregate. Net
unrealized losses are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to
income.
The Corporation had approximately $0, $1,080,000 and $9,200,000 of loans held
for sale at June 30, 1999, December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The
estimated market value of these loans exceeded their carrying cost.
Loans Receivable
Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the
foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their
outstanding principal adjusted for any charge-offs, the allowance for loan
losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans and unamortized
premiums or discounts on purchased loans.
Loans receivable consists primarily of long-term real estate loans secured by
first deeds of trust on single family residences, other residential property,
commercial property, construction and land located primarily in the state of
Virginia. Interest income on mortgage loans is recorded when earned and is
recognized based on the level yield method. The Corporation provides an
allowance for accrued interest deemed to be uncollectible, which is netted
against accrued interest receivable in the consolidated balance sheets.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Loans Receivable (continued)
The Corporation defers loan origination and commitment fees, net of certain
direct loan origination costs, and the net deferred fees are amortized into
interest income over the lives of the related loans as yield adjustments. Any
unamortized net fees on loans fully repaid or sold are recognized as income in
the year of repayment or sale.
Sale of Loans and Participation in Loans
The Corporation is able to generate funds by selling loans and participations in
loans to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") and to other
insured investors. Under participation servicing agreements, the Corporation
continues to service the loans and the participant is paid its share of
principal and interest collections.
The Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 122
("SFAS 122"), "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights an Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 65" on July 1, 1995. SFAS 122 requires entities to allocate the
cost of acquiring or originating mortgage loans between the mortgage servicing
rights and the loans, based on their relative fair values, if the bank sells or
securitizes the loans and retains the mortgage servicing rights. In addition,
SFAS 122 requires entities to assess its capitalized mortgage servicing rights
for impairment based on the fair value of those rights.
The cost of mortgage servicing rights is amortized in proportion to, and over
the period of, estimated net servicing revenues. Impairment of mortgage
servicing rights is assessed based on the fair value of those rights. Fair
values are estimated using discounted cash flows based on a current market
interest rate. For purposes of measuring impairment, the rights are stratified
based on the predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans. The
amount of impairment recognized is the amount by which the capitalized mortgage
servicing rights for a stratum exceed their fair value. At June 30, 1999 and
December 31, 1998, an impairment of approximately $126,000 and $342,000,
respectively, was recognized on those rights.
Allowance for Possible Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered by management
to be adequate to absorb future loan losses currently inherent in the loan
portfolio. Management's assessment of the adequacy of the allowance is based
upon type and volume of the loan portfolio, past loan loss experience, existing
and anticipated economic conditions, and other factors which deserve current
recognition in estimating future loan losses. Additions to the allowance are
charged to operations. Loans are charged-off partially or wholly at the time
management determines collectibility is not probable. Management's assessment of
the adequacy of the allowance is subject to evaluation and adjustment by the
Corporation's regulators.
Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when the collection of principal
or interest is 90 days or more past due, or earlier if collection is uncertain
based upon an evaluation of the value of the underlying collateral and the
financial strength of the borrower. Loans may be reinstated to accrual status
when all payments are brought current and, in the opinion of management,
collection of the remaining balance can be reasonably expected. Loans greater
than 90 days past due may remain on accrual status if management determines it
has adequate collateral to cover the principal and interest.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Allowance for Possible Loan Losses (continued)
A loan is considered to be impaired when it is probable that the Corporation
will be unable to collect all principal and interest amounts according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement. A performing loan may be considered
impaired. The allowance for loan losses related to loans identified as impaired
is primarily based on the excess of the loan's current outstanding principal
balance over the estimated fair market value of the related collateral. For a
loan that is not collateral- dependent, the allowance is recorded at the amount
by which the outstanding principal balance exceeds the current best estimate of
the future cash flows on the loan discounted at the loan's original effective
interest rate.
For impaired loans that are on nonaccrual status, cash payments received are
generally applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance. However, all or a
portion of a cash payment received on a nonaccrual loan may be recognized as
interest income to the extent allowed by the loan contract, assuming management
expects to fully collect the remaining principal balance on the loan.
Real Estate Owned
Real estate acquired through foreclosure is initially recorded at the lower of
fair value, less selling costs, or the balance of the loan on the property at
date of foreclosure. Costs relating to the development and improvement of
property are capitalized, whereas those relating to holding the property are
charged to expense.
Valuations are periodically performed by management, and an allowance for losses
is established by a charge to operations if the carrying value of a property
exceeds its estimated fair value, less selling costs.
Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase
The Corporation enters into sales of securities under agreements to repurchase
(reverse repurchase agreements). Fixed- coupon reverse repurchase agreements are
treated as financings, and the obligations to repurchase securities sold are
reflected as a liability in the consolidated statements of condition. The dollar
amount of securities underlying the agreements remain in the asset accounts.
Office Properties and Equipment
Office properties and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation
and amortization. Provisions for depreciation and amortization are computed
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the individual
assets or the terms of the related leases, if shorter, for leasehold
improvements. Expenditures for betterments and major renewals are capitalized
and ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of "temporary
differences" by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years
to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax
bases of existing assets and liabilities.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Income Taxes (continued)
For tax years beginning prior to January 1, 1996, savings banks that met certain
definitional tests and other conditions prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code
were allowed, within limitations, to deduct from taxable income an allowance for
bad debts using the "percentage of taxable income" method. The cumulative bad
debt reserve, upon which no taxes have been paid, was approximately $295,000 at
December 31, 1998.
Section 1616 of the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 (the "Act")
repealed the percentage of taxable income method of computing bad debt reserve,
and requires the recapture into taxable income of "excess reserves", on a
ratable basis over the next six years. Excess reserves are defined, in general,
as the excess of the balance of the tax bad debt reserve (using the percentage
of taxable income method) as of the close of the last tax year beginning before
January 1, 1996 over the balance of the reserve as of the close of the last tax
year beginning before January 1, 1988. The recapture of the reserves is deferred
if the Corporation meets the "residential loan requirement" exception, during
either or both of the first two years beginning after December 31, 1995. The
residential loan requirement is met, in general, if the principal amount of
residential loans made by the Corporation during the year is not less than the
Corporation's "base amount". The base amount is defined as the average of the
principal amounts of residential loans made during the six most recent tax years
beginning before January 1, 1996.
As a result of the Act, the Corporation must recapture into taxable income
approximately $354,000 ratably over the next six years, beginning December 31,
1998, since the Corporation met the residential loan requirement exemption for
the period ended December 31, 1997.
Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income
available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential
dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. The
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding were 1,501,604 and
1,466,843 for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, 920,681
for the six month period ended December 31, 1996; 917,668 for the year ended
June 30, 1996, and 1,501,727 and 1,501,481 for the six months ended June 30,
1999 and 1998, respectively.
Statements of Cash Flows
Cash and cash equivalents include Federal funds sold with original maturities of
three months or less. Interest paid was approximately $7,343,000 and $6,060,000
for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, $2,978,000 for the
six month period ended December 31, 1996, $5,179,000 for the year ended June 30,
1996, and $5,176,000 and $3,331,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 1999
and 1998, respectively. Cash paid for income taxes was approximately $656,000
and $350,000 for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively,
$277,000 for the six month period ended December 31, 1996, $180,000 for the year
ended June 30, 1996, and $360,000 for the six month periods ended June 30, 1999
and 1998. There was no real estate acquired in settlement of loans for the six
month period ended December 31, 1996, and approximately $488,000, $64,000 and
$33,000 for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, and June 30, 1996, and
$1,021,000 and $0 for the six month period ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior period consolidated
financial statements and notes to conform to the December 31, 1998 presentation.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities ("SFAS 133"), which establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. SFAS 133 requires that
an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. If
certain requirements are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a
hedge and an entity that elects to apply hedge accounting is required to
establish at the inception of the hedge the method it will use for assessing the
effectiveness of the hedging derivative and the measurement approach for
determining the ineffective aspect of the hedge. Those methods must be
consistent with the entity's approach to managing risk. SFAS 133 is effective
for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000 and
requires application prospectively.

</TABLE>
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that
value.
Cash and short-term investments
For those short-term investments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate
of fair value.
Securities
Fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. If a quoted
market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market
prices for similar securities.
Loan receivables
The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using
the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar
remaining maturities. This calculation ignores loan fees and certain factors
affecting the interest rates charged on various loans such as the borrower's
creditworthiness and compensating balances and dissimilar types of real estate
held as collateral.
Deposit liabilities
The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market
deposits is the amount payable on demand at the balance sheet date. The fair
value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates
currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank
For advances that mature within one year of the balance sheet date, carrying
value is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value.
The fair values of all other advances are estimated using discounted cash flow
analysis based on the Corporation's current incremental borrowing rate for
similar types of advances.
Securities sold under agreement to repurchase
Fixed-coupon reverse repurchase agreements are treated as short-term financings.
The carrying value is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Bonds payable
Due to the nature and terms (Note 6) of the bonds payable held by GMSC, Inc. at
December 31, 1998 and 1997 and June 30, 1999, it was not deemed practicable to
estimate the fair value.
Commitments to extend credit
The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to
enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the
agreements and the present creditworthiness of the borrowers. For fixed-rate
loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current
levels of interest rates and the committed rates. Because of the competitive
nature of the marketplace loan fees vary greatly with no fees charged in many
cases.
Forward Commitments to purchase mortgage-backed securities
Fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes.

6. Bonds Payable
In October 1987, GMSC, Inc. issued serial bonds (the "Bonds") collateralized by
mortgage-backed securities which are treated as a real estate mortgage
investment conduit ("REMIC") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 for federal
tax purposes. The Bonds are secured by an indenture between GMSC, Inc. and the
Bank of New York, acting as trustee for the bondholders. The Bonds are
summarized as follows:

- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$1,208,827 $1,785,754 $2,360,083
======================================================================================================================
</TABLE>
The Bonds are repaid in conjunction with the net cash flow from the
mortgage-backed securities together with the reinvestment income thereon. As a
result, the actual life of the Bonds is less than their stated maturities.
Interest is paid as incurred on the Class A-2 Bonds and is accrued and added to
the principal amount due on the Class A-3 Bonds. The indenture also provides for
the establishment of two trust accounts to insure the timely payment of
interest, debt maturities, trustee and accounting fees and other expenses. The
account established for payment of trustee and accounting fees is included in
cash on the statement of condition. The account established for payment of
interest and debt maturities is netted with cash and bonds payable on the
statement of condition.

13. Convertible Preferred Stock
On April 29, 1998, the Corporation formed Guaranty Capital Trust I (the
"Trust"), a wholly owned subsidiary. The Trust issued 276,000 shares of 7.0%
cumulative preferred securities maturing May 5, 2028 with an option to call on
or after April 29, 2003 (call price of $18.50 per share) for $6,900,000.
Conversion of the preferred securities into the corporations stock may occur at
any time prior to maturity. The Trust also issued 8,537 shares of convertible
common stock for $213,425. The Corporation purchased all shares of the common
stock. The proceeds from the sale of the preferred securities were utilized to
purchase from the Corporation junior subordinated debt securities (guaranteed by
the Bank), of $7,113,425 bearing interest of 7.0% and maturing May 5, 2028. All
intercompany interest and equity was eliminated in consolidation.

The Corporation applies Accounting Principals Board Opinion No. 25 in accounting
for stock options granted to employees. Had compensation expense been determined
based upon the fair value of the awards at the grant date and consistent with
the method under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123, the
Corporation's net earnings and net earnings per share for the years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997, and six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 would
have been decreased to the pro forma amounts indicated in the following table:

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15. Stock Option Plan (continued)
There were no options granted for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and the six
months ended December 31, 1996, and for the year ended June 30, 1996, therefore
there are no pro forma effects on net income and net income per share.
The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using
the Black-Sholes option pricing model with the following assumptions used for
grants for the six months ended June 30, 1999: a risk free interest rate of
5.18%, dividend yield of .50%, expected weighted average term of 8.00 years, and
a volatility of 20.00%.
16. Employee Benefit Plans
Effective February 16, 1989, the Corporation adopted a 401(k) profit-sharing
plan in which all employees are eligible to participate after one year of
service and are at least twenty-one years of age. Participants may elect to
contribute a percentage of their compensation to the plan. The Corporation may
make contributions to the plan at its discretion. Corporation contributions are
allocated to employee accounts using a systematic formula based on participant
compensation. The Corporation contributed approximately $14,900 and $10,300 for
the year ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, $4,600 for the year
ended June 30, 1996, $5,500 for the six months ended December 31, 1996 and
$24,500 and $6,800 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.
17. Financial Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk
The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk
in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers
and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These
financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, options written and
purchased, forward commitments to purchase mortgage-backed securities and
standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees,
elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in
the statement of condition. The contract or notional amounts of these
instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Corporation has in particular
classes of financial instruments.
The Corporation's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and
standby letters of credit written is represented by the contractual notional
amount of those instruments. The Corporation uses the same credit policies in
making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet
instruments. For options purchased, the contract or notional amounts do not
represent exposure to credit loss.

17. Financial Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk (continued)
Unless noted otherwise, the Corporation does not require collateral or other
security to support financial instruments with credit risk. Contract amounts are
as follows:

Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent
interest rate risk
Forward commitment to purchase
mortgage-backed securities - 10,000,000 -
</TABLE>
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as
there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments
generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may
require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire
without being completely drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not
necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Corporation evaluates each
customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.
Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the
Corporation to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The
credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as
that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.
Substantially all of the Corporation's loan activity was with customers located
in Charlottesville, Virginia and surrounding counties, with approximately 65% of
the loans collateralized by one to four family residential properties.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Guaranty Financial Corporation, a Virginia corporation (the "Company"),
proposes to employ you (sometimes referred to herein as the "Underwriter") to
advise the Company in the structure of a public offering of the Company's Common
Stock, par value $1.25 per share (the "Common Stock"), and, as agent of the
Company, to assist in the sale on a best efforts basis of 800,000 shares of the
Common Stock (collectively, the "Shares") in the public offering.
You have advised the Company (a) that you are authorized to enter into
this Agreement and (b) that you are willing to sell on a best efforts basis the
Shares as agent for the Company.
In consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein and of the
interests of the parties in the transactions contemplated hereby, the Company
and the Underwriter hereby agree as follows:
1. Representation and Warranties of the Company. The Company
represents and warrants as follows:
(a) The Company has prepared and filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") in accordance with the
provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and
regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the "Securities Act"), a
registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-88335), including a preliminary
prospectus, relating to the Shares. Such registration statement as amended at
the time that it becomes effective is referred to collectively in this Agreement
as the "Registration Statement," and the prospectuses in the form filed with the
Commission as part of the Registration Statement or pursuant to its Rule 424(b),
if any, after the Registration Statement becomes effective are referred to
collectively as the "Prospectus."

(b) Each preliminary prospectus filed as part of the
Registration Statement as originally filed or as part of any amendment or
supplement thereto when so filed complied in all material respects with the
provisions of the Securities Act; except that this representation and warranty
does not apply to statements in or omissions from any such preliminary
prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) made in reliance upon and
conformity with information relating to the Underwriter furnished to the Company
in writing by such Underwriter expressly for use therein.
(c) The Registration Statement in the form in which it
becomes effective and also in such form as it may be when any post-effective
amendment thereto shall become effective, and the Prospectus filed as part of
the Registration Statement and in the form first filed with the Commission under
its Rule 424(b), if any, and when any supplement thereto is filed with the
Commission, will comply in all material respects with the provisions of the
Securities Act and will not contain at any such times an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except that this
representation and warranty does not apply to statements in or omissions from

thereto) made in reliance upon information relating to the Underwriter furnished
to the Company in writing by the Underwriter expressly for use therein.
(d) All the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the
Company are duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and
free of preemptive or similar rights; the Shares to be issued and sold by the
Company have been duly authorized and upon delivery to the subscribers therefor
(the "Subscribers") against payment therefor in accordance with the terms
hereof, will have been validly issued and fully paid and will be nonassessable
and free of preemptive or similar rights; and the Common Stock conforms in all
material respects to the description thereof in the Registration Statement and
the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).
(e) The Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Guaranty
Bank (the "Bank"), are duly organized and validly existing and in good standing
under Virginia law and the regulations promulgated by the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System and are duly qualified to do business and are in good
standing in all jurisdictions that require such qualification or in which the
failure to qualify in such jurisdictions could have, in the aggregate, any
material adverse effect on the business, condition or properties of the Company
or the Bank. The Company and the Bank hold all material licenses, certificates
and permits from governmental authorities necessary for the conduct of their
businesses as described in the Prospectus and own, or possess adequate rights to
use, all material rights necessary for the conduct of their business and have
not received any notice of conflict with the asserted rights of others in
respect thereof; and the Company and the Bank have the corporate power and

owned by the Company free and clear of any lien, claim, security interest or
other encumbrance. The Bank is the Company's only subsidiary.
(g) The Company and the Bank have good and marketable
title to all property described in the Prospectus as being owned by them, free
and clear of all liens, claims, security interests or other encumbrances except
such as are described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement thereto or in a document filed as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement) or such as are not material and do not interfere in any
material respect with the use of the property or the conduct of the business of
the Company and the Bank taken as a whole, and the property held under lease by
the Company and the Bank is held by them under valid and enforceable leases with
only such exceptions as in the aggregate are not material and do not interfere
in any material respect with the conduct of the business of the Company and the
Bank taken as a whole; provided that no representation or warranty is made
hereby to the title of the lessor of any such property.
(h) There are no legal or governmental proceedings
pending, or to the knowledge of the Company threatened, required to be described
in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement
thereto) that are not described as required, and there is no contract or
document of a character required to be described in the Registration Statement
or the Prospectus or to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement
that is not described or filed as required.
(i) Neither the Company nor the Bank is in violation of
their articles of incorporation, as applicable, or bylaws or in default in any
material respect in the performance of any obligation, agreement or condition
contained in any bond, debenture, note or any other evidence of indebtedness or

and the Bank which default is material to the Company and the Bank taken as a
whole. Neither the issuance nor the sale of the Shares nor the execution and
delivery of this Agreement nor the performance of the obligations of the Company
set forth herein nor the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated
requires any consent, approval, authorization or other order of any court,
regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental body (except such
as may be required under the Securities Act or other securities laws or Blue Sky
laws) or will conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default under, the
articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or the Bank, or constitute a
breach or default under any agreement, indenture or other instrument to which
the Company or the Bank is a party or by which either of them or any of their
property is bound, or any law, administrative regulation or ruling or court
decree applicable to the Company or the Bank or any of their properties, which
breach or default is material to the business property of the Company and the
Bank taken as a whole.
(j) Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement and
the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), subsequent to the
respective dates as of which such information is given in the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the

Company has not incurred any liability or obligation, direct or contingent, or
entered into any transaction, not in the ordinary course of business, that is
material to the Company or the Bank taken as a whole, and there has not been any
material change in the capital stock, or material increase in the short-term
debt or long-term debt, of the Company or the Bank, or any material adverse
change, or any development involving a prospective material adverse change, in
the condition (financial or otherwise), business, net worth or results of

6. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees
with the Underwriter as follows:
(a) The Company will endeavor to cause the Registration
Statement to become effective and will advise you promptly and, if requested by
you, will confirm such advice in writing (i) when the Registration Statement has
become effective and when any amendment thereto thereafter becomes effective,
(ii) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus or for additional information, (iii) of
the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of
the Registration Statement or of the suspension of qualification of the Shares
for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or contemplation of
any proceeding for such purposes and (iv) within the period of time referred to
in Section 6(e), of the happening of any event that makes any statement made in
the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented)
untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any addition to or
change in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (as then amended or
supplemented) to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or of the necessity to
amend or supplement the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) to comply
with the Securities Act or any other law. If at any time the Commission shall
issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement,
the Company will make every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of such
order at the earliest possible time.
(b) The Company will furnish you, without charge, three
signed copies of the Registration Statement as originally filed with the
Commission and of each amendment to it, including financial statements and all
exhibits thereto, and will also furnish to you, such number of conformed copies
of the Registration Statement (without exhibits) as originally filed and of each
amendment thereto as you may reasonably request.
<PAGE>
McKinnon & Company, Inc.
______________, 1999
Page 7
(c) The Company will not file any amendment to the
Registration Statement or make any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus of
which you shall not have been advised previously or to which you shall
reasonably object in writing promptly after being so advised.
(d) Prior to the effective date of the Registration
Statement, the Company has delivered or will deliver to you, without charge, in
such quantities as you have requested or may hereafter reasonably request,
copies of each form of preliminary prospectus. The Company consents to the use,
in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act and with the securities
or Blue Sky laws of the jurisdictions in which the Shares are offered by the
Underwriter and by dealers to whom Shares may be sold, prior to the effective
date of the Registration Statement, of each preliminary prospectus so furnished
by the Company.
(e) On the effective date of the Registration Statement
and thereafter from time to time, for such period as in the opinion of counsel
for the Underwriter a prospectus is required by law to be delivered in
connection with sales by an Underwriter or a dealer, the Company will deliver to
you and each dealer through whom Shares may be sold without charge (except as
provided below) as many copies of the Prospectus (and of any amendment or
supplement thereto) as they may reasonably request. The Company consents to the
use of such Prospectus (and of any amendment or supplement thereto) in
accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act and with the securities or
Blue Sky laws of the jurisdictions in which the Shares are offered by the
Underwriter and by dealers through whom Shares may be sold, both in connection
with the offering or sale of the Shares and for such period of time thereafter
as the Prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection therewith. If
during such period of time any event shall occur that in the judgment of the
Company or in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriter requires that a
material fact be stated in the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) in
order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading, or if it is necessary to amend or supplement the
Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act or any other law, the Company at
its own expense (except as provided below) will forthwith prepare and file with
the Commission an appropriate amendment or supplement thereto, and will furnish
to the Underwriter and each dealer through whom Shares may be sold without
charge (except as provided below), a reasonable number of copies thereof.
(f) If required, the Company will cooperate with you and
your counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of the Shares
for offer and sale by you and by dealers through whom Shares may be sold under
the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as you may designate and
will file such consents to service of process or other documents as may be
necessary in order to effect such registration or qualification; provided that
in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business in any
jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would
subject it to the service of process in suits, other than those arising out of
the offer and sale of the Shares, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so
subject.

property of the Company or any subsidiary is the subject, which, if determined
adversely to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, would individually or in
the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the financial position or
results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.
In rendering the opinions required by this Section 8(c), such counsel
may rely, as to matters of fact, upon certificates and representations of

(d) Williams, Mullen, Clark & Dobbins, P.C. shall also

incorporated by reference, therein, as to which counsel need make no statement),
at the time it became effective or as of the date of their respective opinions,
contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading or that the Prospectus (except for financial statements and
schedules and other financial or statistical data included or incorporated by
reference therein, as to which counsel need make no statement), as at the date

omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements

incurred or arising in the ordinary course of business; and (v) all of the
representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement shall
be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof and

Common Stock (except for financial hardship or family emergency) for a period of
120 days after the commencement of the public offering, without the prior
written consent of the Underwriter.
9. Conditions to the Obligations of the Company. The obligations
of the Company to sell and deliver the portion of the Shares required to be
delivered as and when specified in this Agreement are subject to the conditions
that at or before ____ p.m., on the date of this Agreement, or such later time
and date to which the Company and the Underwriter may from time to time consent,
the Registration Statement shall have become effective; at the Closing Date, no
stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall have
been issued and in effect or proceedings therefor initiated or threatened; and
the Escrow Agent shall have tendered to the Corporation payment for the Shares.
10. Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls the Underwriter within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act
from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses
(including reasonable costs of investigation) arising out of or based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
preliminary prospectus or in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or in
any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising out of or based upon any
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
except insofar as such losses,
<PAGE>
McKinnon & Company, Inc.
______________, 1999
Page 13
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses arise out of or are based upon any
untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement based upon information
relating to the Underwriter furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf
of the Underwriter expressly for use in connection therewith; provided that the
indemnification contained in this paragraph with respect to any preliminary
prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of the Underwriter (or any person
controlling the Underwriter) on account of any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or expense arising from the sale of the Shares by the Underwriter to
any person if a copy of the Prospectus shall not have been delivered or sent to
such person with or prior to the written confirmation of the sale involved (or
any supplement to the Prospectus at the time of such confirmation was not so
delivered or sent) and the statement or omission giving rise to such loss,
claim, damage, liability or expense was contained in the preliminary prospectus
and corrected in the Prospectus (or any supplement thereto at the time such
confirmation was delivered or sent).
(b) If any action or claim shall be brought against the
Underwriter or any person controlling the Underwriter, in respect of which
indemnity may be sought against the Company in accordance with Section 10(a),
the Underwriter shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company
shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel and
payment of all reasonable fees and expenses. The Underwriter or any such person
controlling the Underwriter shall have the right to employ separate counsel in
any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the reasonable fees
and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Underwriter or such
controlling person unless (i) the Company has agreed in writing to pay such fees
and expenses, (ii) the Company has failed to assume the defense and employ
counsel or (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded
party) include both the Underwriter or controlling person and the Company and
representations of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due
to actual or potential differing interests between them (in which case, if such
Underwriter or controlling person notifies the Company in writing that it elects
to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Company, the Company shall not
have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the Underwriter
or such controlling person, it being understood, however, that the Company shall
not, in connection with any such action or separate but substantially related
actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or
circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one
separate firm of attorneys at any time for the Underwriter and controlling
persons, which firm shall be designated in writing by you). The Company shall
not be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without the written
consent of the Company, but if settled with such written consent, or if there be
a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the Company agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter and any such controlling person from
and against any loss, liability, damage or expense by reason of such settlement
or judgment.
(c) The Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement any
person controlling the Company to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity
from the Company to the Underwriter, but only with respect to information in the
last paragraph on the front cover of the Prospectus and in the section of the
Prospectus entitled "Underwriting," which were furnished by or on behalf of the
Underwriter expressly
<PAGE>
McKinnon & Company, Inc.

Page 14
for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any preliminary
prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto. If any action or claim shall
be brought or asserted against the Company, its directors, any such officer or
any such controlling person based on the Registration Statement, the Prospectus
or any preliminary prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto and in
respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Underwriter, the
Underwriter shall have the rights and duties given to the Company by Section
10(b) hereof (except that if the Company shall have assumed the defense thereof,
the Underwriter shall not be required to do so, but may employ separate counsel
therein and participate in the defense thereof but the fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be at the expense of the Underwriter), and the Company, its
directors, any such officer, any such controlling person shall have the rights
and duties given to the Underwriter by Section 10(b) hereof.
(d) If the indemnification of the Underwriter or the
Company provided for in this Section 10 is unavailable as a matter of law to the
Underwriter or the Company, as the case may be, in respect of any loss, claim,
damage, liability or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party,
in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to
the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss,
claim, damage, liability or expense (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, as the case may be, on
the one hand and the Underwriter on the other from the offering of the Shares or
(ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by
applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the
relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of
the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriter on the other in connection
with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, claims, damage,
liability or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the
Underwriter on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the
total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the
Company, bear to the total underwriting commissions received by the Underwriter
as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus (as amended or
supplemented) and in the section entitled "Underwriting" in the Prospectus (as
amended or supplemented). The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and
of the Underwriter on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact related to information
supplied by the Company on the one hand or by the Underwriter on the other and
the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity
to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The Company and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10(d) were determined by pro
rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account
of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to in the immediately
preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set
forth above, any legal or other expenses actually and reasonably incurred by
such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such
<PAGE>
McKinnon & Company, Inc.
______________, 1999
Page 15
action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10(d), the
Underwriter shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the
amount by which the total price at which the Shares sold by it as agent for the
Company exceeds the amount of any damages that the Underwriter has otherwise
been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentations.
(e) In any proceeding relating to the Registration
Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any supplement or
amendment thereto, each party against whom contribution may be sought under this
Section 10 hereby consents to the jurisdiction of any court having jurisdiction
over any other contributing party, agrees that process issuing from such court
may be served upon him or it by any other contributing party and consents to the
service of such process and agrees that any other contributing party may join
him or it as an additional defendant in any such proceeding in which such other
contributing party is a party.
(f) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained
in this Section 10 and the respective agreements, representations, warranties
and other statements of the Company or its officers and the Underwriter set
forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall remain operative and in full
force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of
the Underwriter or the Company or any person controlling the Underwriter, the
Company or its directors, officers (or any person controlling the Company), (ii)
acceptance of any Shares and payment therefor hereunder and (iii) any
termination of this Agreement. A successor of the Underwriter or the Company or
its directors or officers referred to above (or of any person controlling the
Underwriter or the Company) shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity,
contribution and reimbursement agreements contained in this Section 10.
11. Effective Date of Agreement. This Agreement shall become
effective when notification of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement
has been released by the Commission. Until such time as this Agreement shall
have become effective, it may be terminated by the Company by notifying you, or
by you by notifying the Company; provided, however, that the provisions of this
Section 11 and of Section 7 and Section 10 hereof shall at all times be
effective.
12. Termination of Agreement. This Agreement shall be subject to
termination in your sole discretion, without liability on your part, by notice
given to the Company, if prior to the Closing Date (i) trading in securities
generally on the New York Stock Exchange or American Stock Exchange shall have
been suspended or materially limited, (ii) a general moratorium on commercial
banking or thrift activities in Virginia or the United States shall have been
declared by either Federal or state authorities or (iii) there shall have
occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other international or
domestic calamity, crisis or change in political, financial or economic
conditions, the effect of which on the financial markets of the United States is
such as to make it, in your judgment, impracticable or

inadvisable to proceed with the offering. Notice of such cancellation shall be
given to the Company by telegraph or telephone but shall be subsequently
confirmed by letter.
13. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and,
except as otherwise provided herein, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed

22911, Attention: Thomas P. Baker.
14. Successors. This Agreement has been and is made solely for the
benefit of the Underwriter, the Company and their respective successors,
executors, administrators, heirs and assigns, and the officers, directors and
controlling persons referred to herein, and no other person will have any right
or obligation hereunder. The term "successor" shall not include any purchaser of
the Shares merely because of such purchase.
15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
16. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and
construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of
Virginia.
If the foregoing letter is in accordance with your understanding of our
agreement, please sign and return to us the enclosed duplicates hereof,
whereupon it will become a binding agreement between the Company and the
Underwriter in accordance with its terms.
Very truly yours,
