NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE A
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b)
of Regulation S-B of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they
do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
results for the six month period ended December 31, 1996, are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1997. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in GF Bancshares, Inc.'s (the
"Company") Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996.
NOTE B
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share and common equivalent shares are calculated by dividing net
income by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares
outstanding after consideration of the dilutive effect of stock options and
stock dividends declared but not paid, as of the date of issuance of financial
statements.
NOTE C
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain items in prior fiscal year-end financial statements have been
reclassified in order to be in conformity with the current fiscal year's
statement presentation. These reclassifications had no material effect on the
financial statements taken as a whole.
NOTE D
NEW AND PENDING ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 121 (SFAS 121), "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-
Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of". The Company has
implemented SFAS 121 in fiscal 1997. The provisions of SFAS 121 require the
7
Company to review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. The adoption has not had an impact on the Company's earnings in
the current fiscal year.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 122 (SFAS 122), "Mortgage Servicing Rights", as an
amendment to SFAS 65. The Company has implemented SFAS 122 in fiscal 1997. The
provisions of SFAS 122 eliminate the accounting distinction between rights to
service mortgage loans that are acquired through loan origination (and
subsequently sold) and those acquired through purchase. The adoption has not
had a material impact on the Company's earnings in the current fiscal year.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123), "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." The Company has implemented SFAS 123 in fiscal 1997. SFAS 123
established a method of accounting for stock compensation plans based on fair
value. Companies are permitted to continue to use the existing method of
accounting but are required to disclose pro forma net income and earnings per
share as if SFAS 123 had been used to measure compensation cost. Based on the
provisions of the Company's stock option plans, the Company has determined that
there is no material effect from adoption of SFAS 123.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 125 (SFAS 125), "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing
of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." The Company is
required to implement SFAS 125 in fiscal 1997. SFAS 125 establishes standards
for distinguishing transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers
that are secured borrowings. The adoption is not expected to have a significant
impact on the Company.
NOTE E
RECENT LEGISLATION
In August of 1996, President Clinton signed into law a bill containing relief
for savings institutions from recapture of bad debt reserves. The law's
provisions are effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 1995, which
impacts the Company's fiscal year ending June 30, 1997. The new law eliminates
the future use of the Internal Revenue Code Section 593 reserve method of
accounting for bad debts by savings institutions; forgives recapture of pre-1988
base year reserves; and requires the recapture of post-1987 reserves ratably
over a six-year period beginning with the first post-1995 taxable year. The
onset of recapture can be delayed for one or two years if an institution meets a
residential loan originations requirement in effect in 1996 and 1997. To qualify
for a deferral each year, an institution will be required to lend as much in
dollar terms on residential real estate as in the average of the most recent six
years. The residential loan calculation does not include refinancing and home
equity loans. The Company has not yet determined whether it qualifies for this
deferral. However, it has determined that there will not be a material effect on
8
earnings resulting from the recapture, due to the provision of deferred taxes in
the years when the tax provisions for bad debts exceeded actual net loan
chargeoffs.
In September of 1996, President Clinton signed into law a bill which provides
for the ultimate merger of the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") into
the larger and fully capitalized Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"). This legislation
requires the Company and all other depository institutions having SAIF-insured
deposits to pay a one-time assessment to recapitalize the SAIF, which had become
undercapitalized due to claims against the fund. The obligations to pay the
special assessment became fixed on September 30, 1996 and were paid on November
27, 1996. On September 30, 1996, the Company recorded a charge to earnings in
the amount of $552,850 to provide for this obligation. This charge is therefore
reflected in the Financial Statements, to which these notes are attached, and
had a negative effect on earnings for the six months ended December 31, 1996.
The deposit insurance expense recorded for the six months ended December 31,
1996 was $655,520, reflecting the one-time assessment, and the reccurring
premium expense of $102,670. However, the legislation also provides for a
reduction in the recurring insurance premiums on SAIF-insured deposits following
the recapitalization. Based on its risk category, the Company anticipates a
significant reduction in its recurring deposit insurance expense in the future.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF INTERIM
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE
THREE MONTHS AND SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996,
COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS AND SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995
INTERIM FINANCIAL CONDITION
GF Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company"), reported total assets of $97,993,000 as of
December 31, 1996, compared to $94,159,000 at June 30, 1996. The most
significant change in the composition of the assets was an increase in net loans
from $75,836,000 to $81,767,000. The increase was primarily in the area of
construction loans and commercial loans. Loans held for sale also increased from
$4,768,000 at June 30, 1996, to $6,216,000 at December 31, 1996. These
increases were funded from a reduction in overnight investments, which declined
from $5,002,000 to $1,647,000, and from an increase in borrowings from the
Federal Home Loan Bank, up from $1,250,000 to $6,150,000. Deposits decreased
slightly from $78,490,000 at June 30, 1996, to $77,998,000 at December 31, 1996.
A result of the loan growth experienced from June 30, 1996, to December 31,
1996, coupled with the lack of deposit growth, was an increase in the bank's
loan (including loans held for sale) to deposit ratio, from 103% to 113%.
Management has embarked on a course to reverse this trend through controlled
loan growth and emphasis on deposit growth. The Company's liquid assets as a
percentage of deposits were 5.92% at December 31, 1996, down from 8.34% at June
30, 1996. Management analyzes projected loan fundings and payoffs, deposit
trends, and other market conditions as they relate to levels of cash, liquid
investments, and the funding line the Company has available from the Federal
Home Loan Bank ("FHLB"). As of December 31, 1996, the Company had drawn
$6,150,000 against the FHLB line, of an available $20,000,000. Based on this
analysis, Management believes that the Company has adequate liquidity to meet
its short-term operating requirements. However, no assurances are given in this
regard.
The Company measures its capital adequacy against three standards: 1) tangible
capital, expressed as a percentage of adjusted total assets, of at least 1.5%;
2) core capital, expressed as a percentage of adjusted total assets, of at least
3.0%, and: 3) risk-based capital, expressed as a percentage of risk-weighted
assets, of at least 8.0%. As of December 31, 1996, the Company's capital
positions were as follows:
10
Minimum
Capital Regulatory Excess
Requirement Capital Capital Ratio
Tangible Capital $1,469,000 $10,707,000 $9,238,000 10.93%
Core Capital $2,939,000 $10,707,000 $7,768,000 10.93%
Risk-based Capital $6,329,000 $11,417,000 $5,088,000 14.43%
Non-performing assets declined to 1.85% of total loans and real estate acquired
through foreclosure ("OREO") at December 31, 1996, compared to 2.45% at June 30,
1996:

A/B 1.85% 2.45%
The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 1996 was $710,000, compared to
$688,000 at June 30, 1996. The allowance at December 31, 1996, represented .80%
of total loans, compared to .90% at June 30, 1996. The allowance at December
31, 1996 represented 70.86% of non-performing loans (non-performing assets less
OREO), compared to 49.71% at June 30, 1996. Analysis of allowance for loan
losses at December 31, 1996:

The loan portfolio is periodically reviewed to evaluate the outstanding loans
and to measure both the performance of the portfolio and the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses. This analysis includes a review of delinquency
trends, actual losses, and internal credit ratings. Management's judgment as to
the adequacy of the allowance is based upon a number of assumptions about future
events which it believes to be reasonable, but which may or may not be
reasonable. However, because of the inherent uncertainty of assumptions made
during the evaluation process, there can be no assurance that loan losses in
further periods will not exceed the allowance for loan losses, or that
additional allocations to the allowance will not be required.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS RESULTS
The Company's net income was $350,000 for the three months ended December 31,
1996, compared to net income of $238,000 for the three months ended December 31,
1995. The improvement was due primarily to increased net interest income and
increased income from loan production office operations, primarily gains from
sale of loans.
The Company's net interest income increased to $1,052,000 for the three months
ended December 31, 1996, compared to $976,000 in the same period in the prior
year. Interest on loans increased from $1,754,000 in the prior year, to
$1,993,000 in the current year, while interest on investment securities and
interest-bearing deposits declined from $274,000 in the prior year, to $132,000
in the current year. These changes reflect increased loan volume, funded by
reductions in investment securities and interest bearing deposits. The higher
yield on loans resulted in the net improvement of $98,000 in total interest
income. Interest expense increased from $1,051,000 in the prior year, to
$1,073,000 in the current period, reflecting interest on increased Federal Home
Loan Bank advances, offset in part by reduced interest on deposits due to lower
deposit levels.
The Company provided $22,000 for loan losses in the current period, while no
provision was made in the prior year. Net chargeoffs in the current period were
$7,000.
The Company's other income increased to $233,000 in the current quarter,
compared to $90,000 in the same quarter of the prior year. The increase is
attributable to improved income from loan production office operations.
The Company's other expenses increased to $714,000 in the current period from
$698,000 in the same period of the prior year. The increase was in salaries and
benefits and occupancy, offset in part by reductions in various other expenses.

SIX MONTHS RESULTS
The Company's net income was $349,000 for the six months ended December 31,
1996, compared to net income of $518,000 for the six months ended December 31,
1995. The primary reason for this change was a charge to earnings of $553,000
to cover a special one-time assessment for deposit insurance by the F.D.I.C. to
recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). This assessment
and charge are discussed more fully in the notes to the accompanying financial
statements. Without regard to the after-tax effect of the charge of $345,000,
the Company earned $694,000 for the current period, compared to $518,000 in the
same period in the prior year. The improvement was due primarily to increased
net interest income and increased income from loan production office operations,
primarily gains from sale of loans.
The Company's net interest income increased to $2,128,000 for the six months
ended December 31, 1996, compared to $1,946,000 in the same period in the prior
year. Interest on loans increased from $3,471,000 in the prior year, to
$3,952,000 in the current year, while interest on investment securities and
interest-bearing deposits declined from $589,000 in the prior year, to $260,000
in the current year. These changes reflect increased loan volume, funded by
reductions in investment securities and interest-bearing deposits. The higher
yield on loans resulted in the net improvement of $153,000 in total interest
income. Interest expense decreased from $2,114,000 in the prior year, to
$2,085,000 in the current period, reflecting reduced interest on deposits due to
lower deposit levels, offset in part by interest on increased Federal Home Loan
Bank advances.
The Company provided $37,000 for loan losses in the current period, while no
provision was made in the prior year. Net chargeoffs in the current period were
$15,000.
The Company's other income increased to $399,000 in the current period, compared
to $233,000 in the prior year. The increase is attributable to improved income
from loan production office operations.
The Company's other expenses increased to $1,963,000 in the current period from
$1,384,000 in the same period of the prior year. As discussed above, virtually
all of this increase of $579,000 was due to the one-time SAIF assessment of
$553,000. The nominal increase otherwise reflects cost containment measures
undertaken by management.
