ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") is a registered bank holding
company that derives substantially all of its revenues and income from the
operation of its subsidiary, Guaranty Bank (the "Bank"). The Bank is a full
service bank that provides a broad line of financial products and services to
small and medium-sized businesses and consumers through seven banking locations
in the Texas communities of Mount Pleasant (two offices), Bogata, Deport, Paris,
Talco and Texarkana. Certain of the matters discussed in this Form 10-Q,
including matters discussed under the caption "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," may constitute
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and as such may involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance
or achievements of the Company to be materially different from future results,
performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. The words "expects," "estimates," "anticipates," "intends," "plans,"
"believes," "seek," "will," "would," "should," "projected," "contemplated," and
similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.
The Company's actual results or experience may differ materially from the
results anticipated in such forward-looking statements due to a variety of
factors, including, but not limited to: (i) the effects of the Internal Revenue
Service's examination regarding the Company's leveraged leasing transactions;
(ii) the effects of future economic conditions; (iii) governmental monetary and
fiscal policies, as well as legislative and regulatory changes, (iv) the risks
of changes in interest rates on the level and composition of deposits, loan
demand and the values of loan collateral, securities and interest rate
protection agreements, as well as interest rate risks; (v) the effects of
competition from other commercial banks, thrifts, mortgage banking firms,
insurance companies, money market and other mutual funds and other financial
institutions operating in the Company's market areas and elsewhere, including
competitors offering banking products and services by mail, telephone, computer
and the Internet; (vi) the failure of assumptions underlying the establishment
of reserves for loan losses and estimations of values of collateral and various
financial assets and liabilities; (vii) that technological changes, including
Year 2000 data systems compliance issues, are more difficult or expensive than
anticipated, and (viii) other uncertainties set forth in the Company's other
public reports and filings and public statements. All written or oral
forward-looking statements attributable to the Company are expressly qualified
in their entirety by these cautionary statements.
OVERVIEW
Net earnings available to common shareholders for the six months ended
June 30, 1999, were $1.2 million or $0.42 per share compared to $1.2 million or
$0.43 per share for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The increase in net
earnings was due primarily to an increase in net interest income of $366,000 or
8.0%, a decrease in provision for loan losses of $255,000 or 59.3% offset by a
decrease in noninterest income of $311,000 or 19.1% and an increase in
noninterest expense of $310,000 or 7.4%. The variances were due in part to a
gain on sale of approximately $2.0 million in principal amount of mortgage loans
that were originally purchased in 1991 at a discount from the Resolution Trust
Corporation ("RTC") in March 1998. 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 have a gain from the sale of loans in
the first six 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 June 30, 1999 were $557,000 or $0.19 per share compared to $430,000 or
$0.15 per share for the three months ended June 30, 1998, a 29.5% increase.
9
The six-month period ended June 30, 1999 showed steady growth. Total loans
increased to $203.7 million at June 30, 1999, from $185.9 million at December
31, 1998, an increase of $17.8 million or 9.6%. Total assets were $291.8 million
at June 30, 1999, compared with $272.9 million at December 31, 1998. The
increase of $18.9 million in total assets resulted primarily from an increase in
total deposits to $261.2 million at June 30, 1999, from $242.3 million at
December 31, 1998, an increase of $18.9 million or 7.8%, and an increase in
shareholders equity of $322,000. Common shareholders' equity was $24.1 million
at June 30, 1999, compared with $23.8 million at December 31, 1998, an increase
of $322,000 or 1.4%. This increase was due to net earnings for the period of
$1.2 million less a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income of
$428,000, dividends paid on common stock of $346,000 and the purchase of
treasury stock of $116,000.
On April 23, 1999 the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization (the "Merger Agreement") with First American Financial
Corporation ("First American") whereby First American will merge into the
Company (the "Merger"). First American, headquartered in Sulphur Springs, Texas,
is the parent company for First American Bank, N.A. and First American Mortgage
Company and operates banks in the communities of Sulphur Springs and Commerce,
Texas. The Merger Agreement, which is subject to the approval of the
shareholders of First American and various regulatory authorities, provides for
aggregate consideration of $6.9 million in the Company's Common Stock and cash
in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of First American's stock. A total
of 351,750 shares of the Company's Common Stock will be issued in the
transaction. The directors, executive officers and principal shareholders of
First American who hold a total of 82.89% of the outstanding shares of First
American have signed a Consent to Merger and Irrevocable Proxy pursuant to which
these shareholders have granted a proxy to a director of First American with
instructions to vote their shares in favor of the Merger. Therefore, it is
expected that the Merger will be approved by the shareholders of First American.
It is anticipated that the transaction will be consummated during the third
quarter of 1999. At June 30, 1999, First American had $61.6 million in total
assets, $38.7 million in loans and $56.9 million in deposits.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INTEREST INCOME
Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1999, was $9.6 million,
an increase of $515,000 or 5.7% from the six months ended June 30, 1998. The
increase in interest income was due primarily to higher interest income on
loans. Average loans were $194.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999,
compared with $162.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, an increase
of $32.5 million or 20.0%. Internal growth accounted for all of the $32.5
million increase in average loans. Average securities were $49.4 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1999, compared with $52.7 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1998, a decrease of $3.3 million or 6.3%. Interest income for the
three months ended June 30, 1999 was $4.8 million, an increase of $233,000 or
5.1% from the three months ended June 30, 1998.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities was
$4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999, compared with $4.5 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1998, an increase of $149,000 or 3.3%. The
increase in interest expense was due primarily to an increase in average
interest-bearing liabilities, to $208.1 million for the six months ended June
30, 1999, from $182.2 million

for the six months ended June 30, 1998, an increase of $25.9 million or 14.2%.
The increase is mitigated by a decrease in average interest rates from 4.97% for
the first six months in 1998 to 4.50% for the first six months in 1999. Interest
expense was $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999, compared with
$2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998, an increase of $108,000
or 4.8%.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income was $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30,
1999, compared with $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, an
increase of $366,000 or 8.0%. The increase in net interest income resulted
primarily from growth in average earning assets to $254.7 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1999, from $226.2 million for the six months ended June 30
1998, an increase of $28.5 million or 12.6%. Net interest income was $2.4
million for the three months ended June 30, 1999, compared with $2.3 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1998, an increase of $125,000 or 5.4%.
The Company's net interest income is affected by changes in the amount and
mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as
a "volume change." It is also affected by changes in yields earned on
interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and other
borrowed funds, referred to as a "rate change." The following table sets forth,
for each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities,
the average amounts outstanding, the interest earned or paid on such amounts,
and the average rate earned or paid for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and
1998. The table also sets forth the average rate earned on total
interest-earning assets, the average rate paid on total interest-bearing
liabilities, and the net interest margin on average total interest-earning
assets for the same periods.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
Provisions for loan losses are charged to income to bring the total
allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by management of the
Company based on such factors as historical experience, the volume and type of
lending conducted by the Company, the amount of nonperforming assets, regulatory
policies, generally accepted accounting principles, general economic conditions,
and other factors related to the collectibility of loans in the Company's
portfolio.
The provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 1999, was
$175,000 compared with $430,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The 1998
provision included an extraordinary charge to the provision of $340,000 done in
order to get the reserve for loan losses to a level management believed to be
adequate based on loan growth, loan quality, prior charge-off experience and
local economic conditions. The provision for the first six months of 1999 is
deemed adequate by management based on a continued low net loan charge-off to
average loans ratio of 0.06% as of June 30, 1999, and a low nonperforming assets
to total loans and other real estate ratio of 0.77% as of June 30, 1999. For the
six months ended June 30, 1999, net charge-offs were $120,000. The provision for
loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 1999, was $70,000 compared with
$60,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998.
NONINTEREST INCOME
The Company's primary sources of recurring noninterest income are service
charges on deposit accounts and fee income. Excluding a $674,000 nonrecurring
gain from the sale of loans in March 1998, noninterest income for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 increased to $1.3 million from $954,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1998, an increase of $363,000 or 38.1%. The gain on sale of loans
was recorded in March 1998, when the Company sold approximately $2.0 million of
loans originally purchased at a discount in June 1991 from the RTC. Noninterest
income was $655,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 compared to
$466,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998, an increase of $189,000 or
40.6%. The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the major
categories of noninterest income:

After excluding the nonrecurring gain on the sale of loans, the increase
in noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 compared with the
six months ended June 30, 1999, resulted primarily from an increase in service
charges on deposit accounts due to an increase in the number of deposit
accounts. Additionally, other noninterest income increased $109,000 primarily
due to earnings generated from key man life insurance policies that were
purchased in July 1998.
NONINTEREST EXPENSES
Noninterest expenses totaled $4.5 million for the six months ended June
30, 1999 compared with $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, an
increase of $310,000 or 7.4%. Noninterest expense totaled $2.3 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1999 compared with $2.2 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1998, an increase of $109,000 or 5.0%. The following table

Employee compensation and benefits expense for the six months ended June
30, 1999, was $2.5 million, an increase of $353,000 or 16.5% over $2.1 million
for the same period in 1998. The increase was due primarily to normal salary
increases and additional staff placement in the Texarkana, Mt. Pleasant, Paris
and recently opened Pittsburg locations to handle customer growth. The number of
full-time equivalent employees was 146.0 at June 30, 1999, compared with 132.0
at June 30, 1998, an increase of 10.6%.
Non-staff expenses were $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30,
1999, compared with $2.1 million for the same period in 1998, a decrease of
$43,000 or 2.1%. Net bank premises expense increased $59,000 or 10.1% to
$642,000.
Other non-staff expenses include director fees, insurance, franchise tax,
telephone expense and other miscellaneous expenses, the combination of which
decreased $112,000 or 11.7% to $847,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999.
15
INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense decreased approximately $25,000 to $345,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 from $370,000 for the same period in 1998. The
decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in taxable income in 1999 over
1998. In addition, the Company recorded a gain on sale of loans of $674,000
during the first three months of 1998 creating an additional tax expense in
1998. The Company did not have a gain from the sale of loans in 1999. The income
amount stated on the consolidated statement of earnings will differ from the
taxable income due to tax-exempt income, the amount of non-deductible interest
expense and the amount of other non-deductible expense. Income tax expense was
$180,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 compared with $75,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1998. The increase is primarily a result of fewer
taxable deductions available from the Company's leveraged leasing activities.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
LOAN PORTFOLIO
Total loans were $203.7 million at June 30, 1999, an increase of $17.8
million or 9.6% from $185.9 million at December 31, 1998. Loan growth occurred
primarily in 1 to 4 family residential loans, commercial mortgage loans and
commercial loans. Loans comprised 76.7% of total earning assets at June 30, 1999
compared with 74.5% at December 31, 1998.
The following table summarizes the loan portfolio of the Company by

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
In originating loans, the Company recognizes that credit losses will be
experienced 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 based upon, among other things, historical experience, the
volume and type of lending conducted by the Company, the amount of nonperforming
assets, regulatory policies, generally accepted accounting principles, general
economic conditions, and other factors related to the collectibility of loans in
the Company's 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.
16
Management actively monitors the Company's asset quality and provides
specific loss allowances when necessary. Loans are 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 if economic
conditions differ from the assumptions used in making the initial
determinations. As of June 30, 1999, the allowance for loan losses amounted to
$1.6 million or 0.77% of total loans. The allowance for loan losses as a
percentage of nonperforming loans was 106.31% at June 30, 1999.
Set forth below is an analysis of the allowance for loan losses as of June 30,

NONPERFORMING ASSETS
Nonperforming assets were $1.6 million at June 30, 1999 compared with $1.3
million at December 31, 1998, reflecting continued strong asset quality. The
ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans and other real estate was 0.77% and
0.67% at June 30, 1999, and December 31, 1998, respectively.

========== ============
SECURITIES
Securities totaled $49.3 million at June 30, 1999, a decline of $2.1
million from $51.4 million at December 31, 1998. The decline occurred as
maturing securities were used to fund loans. At June 30, 1999, securities
represented 16.9% of total assets compared with 18.8% of total assets at
December 31, 1998. The yield on average securities for the six months ended June
30, 1999, was 6.09% compared with 6.56% for the same period in 1998. At June 30,
1999, securities included $100,000 in U.S. Treasury securities, $26.0 million in
U.S. Government securities, $19.3 million in mortgage-backed securities, $1.1
million in equity securities and $2.9 million in municipal securities. The
average life of the securities portfolio at June 30, 1999, was approximately
three years.
PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Premises and equipment totaled $7.7 million at June 30, 1999 and $7.0
million at December 31, 1998. The net change shows an increase of $624,000 or
8.9%, in fixed assets. The increase is primarily due to the opening of a full
service bank in Pittsburg, Texas and purchase of additional land in Paris for
future bank expansion.
OTHER ASSETS
On July 1, 1998, the Company invested $3.1 million in single insurance
premium policies. Such policies insured the lives of certain key senior
officers. As of June 30, 1999, the net surrender values of these policies
totaled $3.3 million.
18
DEPOSITS
At June 30, 1999, demand, money market and savings deposits accounted for
approximately 46.8% of total deposits, while certificates of deposit made up
53.2% of total deposits. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits totaled $53.9
million or 20.6% of total deposits at June 30, 1999, compared with $47.4 million
or 19.5% of total deposits at December 31, 1998. The average cost of deposits,
including noninterest-bearing demand deposits, was 3.69% for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 compared with 4.02% for the same period in 1998. The
decrease in the average cost of deposits was primarily due to the lower interest
rate environment during the first six months in 1999 compared to the same period
in 1998.
LIQUIDITY
The Company's Asset/Liability Management Policy is intended to maintain
adequate liquidity for the Company. Liquidity involves the Company's ability to
raise funds to support asset growth or reduce assets to meet deposit withdrawals
and other payment obligations, to maintain reserve requirements and otherwise to
operate the Company on an ongoing basis. The Company's liquidity needs are
primarily met by growth in core deposits. Although access to purchased funds
from correspondent banks is available and has been utilized on occasion to take
advantage of investment opportunities, the Company does not rely on these
external funding sources. The cash and federal funds sold position, supplemented
by amortizing investments along with payments and maturities within the loan
portfolio, has historically created an adequate liquidity position.
The Company's cash flows are composed of three classifications: cash flows
from operating activities, cash flows from investing activities, and cash flows
from financing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.3
million and $673,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. The increase was due primarily to the salary retention premiums
paid on executive officers of $3.0 million in the first six months of 1998
offset by the proceeds from the sale of loans of $2.0 million during the same
period. The Company did not have any sale of loans or retention premiums paid on
executive officers in the first six months of 1999.
Net cash (used) by investing activities was $(17.8) million and $(10.1)
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. During
the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company funded more loans and purchased
more investment securities than it did in the six months ended June 30, 1998.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $18.3 million and $8.6
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The
difference was due primarily to a larger net increase in deposits of $18.9 in
1999 as compared to a net increase of $5.3 million in 1998.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Total shareholders' equity as of June 30, 1999, was $24.1 million, an
increase of $322,000 or 1.4% compared with shareholders' equity of $23.8 million
at December 31, 1998. The increase was due to net earnings for the period of
$1.2 million offset by the decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income of
$428,000, dividends paid on common stock of $346,000 and the purchase of
treasury stock of $116,000.
Both the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal
Reserve"), with respect to the Company, and the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation ("FDIC"), with respect to the Bank, have established certain minimum
risk-based capital standards that apply to bank holding companies and federally
insured banks, respectively. The Company's risk-based capital ratios remain
above the levels required for the Company to be designated as "well capitalized"
on June 30, 1999, with Tier 1 capital, total risk-based capital and leverage
19
capital ratios of 11.57%, 12.33% and 8.56%, respectively. The Bank's risk-based
capital ratios remain above the levels required for the Bank to be designated as
"well capitalized" on June 30, 1999, with Tier-1 capital, total risk-based
capital and leverage capital ratios of 11.03%, 11.79% and 8.16%, respectively.
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 READINESS 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 by 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.
Except as discussed above, the Company has completed the following phases
of its Year 2000 plan: (i) recognizing Year 2000 issues and (ii) assessing the
impact of Year 2000 issues on the Company's mission critical systems. The
Company is in the process of upgrading, testing and implementing the
mission-critical systems for Year 2000 compliance.
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 June 30,
1999, the Company has not incurred any significant costs in relation to Year
2000. The largest potential 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.
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
20
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
includes 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 completed contingency plans for each
mission critical system and contingency plans for the Company's core business
processes with respect to the Year 2000 date change. The Company 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 has 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 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 Company 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.
