results for the three (3) months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994. 
All adjustments are considered to be of a recurring nature.

    GUARANTY BANCSHARES HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                    AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Summary

     For the three months ended March 31, 1995, Bancshares earned
$115,000, compared with earnings of $94,000 for the comparable
period in 1994.  The primary reasons for the increase in earnings
were a $68,000 increase in net interest income, offset by a $14,000
decrease in other operating income.  The subsidiary bank did not
make a provision for loan losses in either period.

     Changes in financial position at March 31, 1995, from December
31, 1994 were net reductions in federal funds sold and deposits,
and increases in loans.  Proceeds from federal funds sold were
primarily used to fund new loans and deposit withdrawals.
Investments and federal funds sold declined $75,000 and $1,990,000,
respectively, while loans increased $674,000.

     New credit income is the most significant component of
financial operations and is affected by interacting forces, 
including changes in investment market interest rates and changes
in volume and mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing
deposits.  For the first three months of 1995, net interest income
as a percent of net average earning assets of $54,530,000 was 4.67
percent, up from 4.63 percent for the first quarter of 1994.  The
increase is attributable to an increase in higher yielding loans.

Net Operating Results

     The following analysis should be read in conjunction with the
accompanying financial statements.

     Interest income increased a net of $199,000.  Of this amount,
increases were: (a) on investments - $88,000, and (b) on federal
funds sold - $18,000.  Interest on loans increased $93,000. 

     The increase in loan income is attributable to a $2,557,000
increase in average loans outstanding, and 0.3 percent increase in
average yields to 9.6 percent.  The increase in investment income
was the result of a $1,926,000 increase in average securities
investments and a 1.6 percent increase in average yields, mirroring
the overall increase in interest rates.

     Interest expense increased $131,000 from 1994 levels.  Average
interest bearing deposits increased $4,301,000, while average rates
paid increased 0.7 percent from 3.1 percent in 1994 to 3.8 percent
in 1995. During 1994 the subsidiary bank borrowed an additional
$1,400,000 from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas to fund a
commercial real estate loan which has a comparable scheduled
amortization and maturity.

Investment Securities

     Investment securities increased from $14,723,000 as of March
31, 1994 to $16,609,000 at March 31, 1995.  This is primarily
attributable to purchases of U.S. Treasury securities and
amortization on mortgage backed securities.  There were no
securities sales during the first quarter of 1994 or 1995.

Income Taxes

     Income taxes were accrued at the U. S. federal tax rate.  At
March 31, 1995. Bancshares has net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $789,000 and $578,000 for income tax and financial
statement purposes, respectively.
     
Liquidity

     The term "liquidity" generally refers to the ability of a
company to generate adequate amount of cash to meet its needs.  For
a bank, "liquidity" represents its ability to meet timely the
demand for funds used to honor checks, to pay maturing time
deposits, to fund increases in loan demand and to satisfy other
commitments.  Unless it borrows funds, a bank's source of funds are
generally its core deposits and its retained earnings. 

     At March 31, 1995 and 1994, the Bank's gross loans-to-deposits
ratios were 72.6 percent and 70.0 percent, respectively. Loans
increased $2,955,000 from 1994 levels.  Significant to the loan-
to-deposit ratio computation, deposits increased $2,394,000 as of
March 31, 1995 from 1994.  The Bank has no brokered deposits.
     
     As a bank holding company, the ability of Bancshares to pay
its obligations is wholly dependent upon the receipt of dividends
and tax benefits from the Bank.
