The important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include, without limitation: o changes in interest rates and market prices; o changes in the levels of loan prepayments and the resulting effects on the value of Guaranty's loan portfolio; o changes in local economic and business conditions which adversely affect the Company's customers and their ability to transact profitable business with the Company, including the ability of the Company's borrowers to repay their loans according to their terms or a change in the value of the related collateral; o increased competition for deposits and loans adversely affecting rates and terms; o the timing, impact and other uncertainties of various strategic alternatives that the Company considers from time to time, including acquisitions of other depository institutions, their assets or their liabilities on favorable terms and the Company's ability to successfully integrate such acquisitions and enter new markets; o increased credit risk in the Company's assets and increased operating risk caused by a material change in commercial, consumer and/or real estate loans as a percentage of the total loan portfolio; o the failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of and provisions made to the allowance for loan losses; o changes in the availability of funds resulting in increased costs or reduced liquidity; o changes in the Company's ability to pay dividends on its common stock; o increased asset levels and changes in the composition of assets and the resulting impact on the Company's capital levels and regulatory capital ratios; o the Company's ability to acquire, operate and maintain cost effective and efficient systems without incurring unexpectedly difficult or expensive but necessary technological changes (including changes to address Year 2000 data systems issues); o the Company's ability to complete its project to assess and resolve any Year 2000 problems on time; o the loss of senior management or operating personnel and the potential inability to hire qualified personnel at reasonable compensation levels; o the effects of the Internal Revenue Service's examination regarding the Company's leveraged leasing transactions; o changes in applicable statutes and government regulations or their interpretations, including changes in tax requirements and tax rates; and o other uncertainties set forth in the Company's other public reports and filings and public statements. 9 FINANCIAL OVERVIEW Net earnings available to common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were $1.9 million or $0.65 per share compared with $1.9 million or $0.69 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, an increase of $18,000 or 0.9%. The increase in net earnings was due primarily to an increase in net interest income of $876,000 or 12.7% and a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $220,000 or 44.9%, offset by a decrease in noninterest income of $182,000 or 8.1% and an increase in noninterest expense of $789,000 or 12.4%. These variances were due in part to a gain on sale in March 1998 of approximately $2.0 million in aggregate principal amount of mortgage loans that were originally purchased in 1991 at a discount from the Resolution Trust Corporation ("RTC"). The Company sold the mortgage loans at par, which resulted in a gain of $444,000, net of $230,000 in taxes expensed as a result of the sale. The Company did not sell any loans during the first nine months of 1999. The gain on the sale of loans in 1998 was partially offset by an additional provision for loan losses of $340,000 in March of 1998. Net earnings available to common shareholders for the three months ended September 30, 1999March 31, 2000 were $708,000$545,000 or $0.23$0.17 per share compared with $752,000$655,000 or $0.26$0.23 per share for the three months ended September 30, 1998,March 31, 1999, a 5.9% decrease.decrease of $110,000 or 16.8%. The decrease in net earnings was due primarily to an increase in noninterest expensesexpense of $479,000$892,000 or 22.5%40.1%, and an increase in the provision for the three months ended September 30, 1999 over the sameloan losses of $25,000 or 23.8%, offset by an increase in net interest income of $612,000 or 24.6% and an increase in noninterest income of $215,000 or 32.5%. The three-month period in 1998. The nine-month period ended September 30, 1999March 31, 2000 showed steady growth. The primary factors contributing to this growth include the opening of the Pittsburg location in April 1999 and the acquisition of First American Financial Corporation, Sulphur Springs, Texas ("First American") in September of 1999 ("First American Acquisition"). TotalGross loans increased to $243.8$259.1 million at September 30, 1999,March 31, 2000, from $185.9$255.2 million at December 31, 1998,1999, an increase of $57.9$3.9 million or 31.2%1.5%. Total assets were $347.9$385.4 million at September 30, 1999,March 31, 2000, compared with $272.9$370.4 million at December 31, 1998.1999. The increase of $75.0$15.0 million in total assets resulted primarily from a 29.2%the investment of funds provided from an increase in total deposits of $10.1 million and the issuance of the Debentures of $7.0 million - See Note 3 to $313.0the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. Total deposits were $338.8 million at September 30, 1999, from $242.3March 31, 2000 compared to $328.7 million at December 31, 1998, and1999, an increase in shareholders' equity of $4.4 million.$10.1 million or 3.1%. There were no Debentures outstanding at December 31, 1999. Total shareholders' equity was $28.2$28.7 million at September 30, 1999,March 31, 2000, compared with $23.8$28.5 million at December 31, 1998,1999, an increase of 18.4%$231,000 or 0.81%. This increase was due to the issuance of common stock in connection with the First American Acquisition, net earnings for the period of $1.9 million, offset by$545,000 less a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income of $587,000, dividends paid on common stock of $346,000 and the purchase of $116,000 of treasury stock. On September 1, 1999, the Company completed the First American Acquisition. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated April 23, 1999 between the Company and First American (the "Agreement"), the Company issued an aggregate of 351,736 shares of its common stock and paid $3,379,620 in cash to the former shareholders of First American. The shares of common stock issued were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-91881). In connection with the First American Acquisition, First American Bank, N.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of First American, was merged with and into the Bank. The two former banking locations of First American Bank, N.A. located in Sulphur Springs and Commerce, Texas are being operated as branches of the Bank.

The increase in interest income was due primarily to higher interest income on loans. Average loans were $202.6$257.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared with $165.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, an increase of $36.9 million or 22.3%.

The increase in interest expense was due primarily to an 18.6%a 42.0% increase in average interest-bearing liabilities to $216.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, from $182.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The increase is mitigated by a decrease in average interest rates from 4.92% for the first nine months in 1998 to 4.49% for the first nine months in 1999. Interest expense was $2.7$292.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999, compared with $2.3March 31, 2000, from $205.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998, anMarch 31, 1999. The increase of $411,000 or 18.2%.is also due to a rise in average interest rates from 4.48% for the three months ended March 31, 1999 to 4.92% for the first three months ended March 31, 2000.

The increase for both the three- and nine-month periodsthree-month period ended September 30, 1999March 31, 2000 was due primarily to normal salary increases and additional staff placement in the Texarkana, Mt. Pleasant, and Paris locations to handle customer growth and the recently opened Pittsburg, Sulphur Springs, and Commerce locations.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES In originating loans, the Company recognizes that it will experience credit losses and the risk of loss will vary with, among other things, general economic conditions, the type of loan being made, the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan and, in the case of a collateralized loan, the quality of the collateral for such loan. The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses in an amount that it believes is adequate for estimated losses in its loan portfolio. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance through its evaluation of the loan portfolio. In addition to unallocated allowances, specific allowances are provided for individual loans when ultimate collection is considered questionable by management after reviewing the current status of loans which are contractually past due and considering the net realizable value of the collateral for the loan. Loans are 17 charged-off against the allowance for loan losses when appropriate. Although management believes it uses the best information available to make determinations with respect to the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments may be necessary 14 if economic conditions differ from the assumptions used in making the initial determinations.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE GENERAL The Year 2000 risk involves computer programs and computer software that are not able to perform without interruption into the Year 2000. If computer systems do not correctly recognize the date change from December 31, 1999, to January 1, 2000, computer applications that rely on the date field could fail or create erroneous results. Such erroneous results could affect interest, payment or due dates or cause the temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices or engage in similar normal business activities. If these issues are not addressed by the Company, its suppliers and its borrowers, there could be a material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. STATE OF READINESSPREPAREDNESS The Company formally initiated its Year 2000 project and plan in August 1997 to insure that its operational and financial systems will not be adversely affected by Year 2000 problems. The Company has formed a Year 2000 project team, and the Board of Directors and management are supporting all compliance efforts and allocating the necessary resources to ensure completion. An inventory of all systems and products (including both information technology ("IT") and non-informational technology ("non-IT") systems) that could be affected bysuccessfully completed the Year 2000 date change has been developed, verified and categorized as to their importance to the Company and an assessment of all mission critical IT and mission critical non-IT systems has been completed. This assessment involved inputting test data which simulates the Year 2000 date change into such IT systems and reviewing the system output for accuracy. The Company's assessment of mission critical non-IT systems involved reviewing such systems to determine whether they were date dependent. Based on such assessment, the Company believes that none of its mission critical non-IT systems are date dependent. The software for the Company's systems is provided through service bureaus and software vendors. The Company has contacted all of its third party vendors and software providers and is requiring them to demonstrate and represent that the products provided are or will be Year 2000 compliant and has planned a program of testing compliance. The Company's item processing software provider, which performs substantially all of the Company's data processing functions, has stated that its software is Year 2000 compliant and the Company has tested the hardware and software to verify these assertions. In addition, the Company's compliance efforts regarding Year 2000 issues were reviewed by the FDIC in January 1999. The Company has completed the following phases of its Year 2000 plan: (i) recognizing Year 2000 issues, (ii) assessing the impact of Year 2000 issues on the Company's mission critical systems, (iii) upgrading systems as necessary to resolve the Year 2000 issues which have been identified, and (iv) developing a business resumption contingency plan. COSTS OF COMPLIANCE Management does not expect that the cost of bringing the Company's systems into Year 2000 compliance will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. The Company has budgeted $50,000 to address Year 2000 issues. As of September 30, 1999, the Company has not incurredchangeover without any significant costs in relation to Year 2000. The largest potential internal risk to the Company concerning Year 2000 is the malfunction of its data processing system. In the event its data processing system does not function properly, the Company is prepared to perform functions manually. The Company believes it is in compliance with regulatory guidelines regarding Year 2000 compliance, including the timetable for achieving compliance. 21 RISKS RELATED TO THIRD PARTIES The impact of Year 2000 noncompliance by third parties with which the Company transacts business cannot be accurately gauged. The Company identified its largest dollar depositors (aggregate deposits over $100,000) and loan customers ($150,000 or more) and, based on information available to the Company, conducted a preliminary evaluation to determine which of those customers are likely to be affected by Year 2000 issues. In addition, corporate borrowers have been contacted and assessed by their respective lending officers and scored on a scale of one, two or three, with three being the least affected by Year 2000 issues. A corporate borrower which received a rating of one or two was subsequently contacted to assess Year 2000 readiness efforts. To the extent a problem is identified with respect to a customer, the Company intends to monitor the customer's progress in resolving such problem. In the event that Year 2000 noncompliance adversely affects borrowers, the Company may be required to charge-off the loan to such borrowers. For a discussion of possible effects of such charge-offs, see "--Contingency Plans" below. In the event that Year 2000 noncompliance causes depositors to withdraw funds, the Company plans to maintain additional cash on hand. The Company relies on the Federal Reserve for electronic fund transfers and check clearing and understands that the Federal Reserve has certified its systems to be Year 2000 compliant and continues to test product upgrades. With respect to its borrowers, the Company includesproblems in its loan documents a Year 2000 disclosure form and an addendum to the loan agreement in which the borrower represents and warrants its Year 2000 compliance to the Company. CONTINGENCY PLANS The Company has finalized its contingency plans with respect to the Year 2000 date change for each mission critical system and the Company's core business processes. The Company believes that if its own system should fail, it could convert tohas confirmed normal business operations across all products and markets on a manual entry system for a period up to three months without significant losses. The Company furthersustained basis. While management believes that any mission critical system could be recovered and operating within three to five days. In the event that the Federal Reserve is unable to handle electronic funds transfers and check clearing, the Company does not expect the impact to be material to its financial condition or results of operations as long as the Company is able to utilize an alternative funds transfer and clearing source. As part of its contingency planning, the Company reviewed its loan customer base and the potential impact on capital of Year 2000 noncompliance. Based upon such review, using what it considers to be a reasonable worst case scenario, the Company has assumed that certain of its commercial borrowers whose businesses are most likely to be affected by Year 2000 noncompliance would be unable to repay their loans, resulting in charge-offs of loan amounts in excess of collateral values. If such were the case, the Company believes that it is unlikely, problems associated with non-compliant third parties could still occur. Management will continue to monitor all business processes and relationships with third parties during 2000 to ensure that its exposure would exceed $100,000, although there are no assurances that this amount will not be substantially higher. Management does not believe that this amount is material enough for the Companyall processes continue to adjust its current methodology for making provisions to the allowance for loan losses. In addition, the Company plans to maintain additional cash on hand to meet any unusual deposit withdrawal activity.function properly. 17 ITEM 3.
