NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule
10-01 of Regulation S-X. 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
only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been included.

The results of operations for the period are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the full year.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's Form 10-K annual report for 2002 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The condensed consolidated balance sheet of
the Company as of June 30, 2002, has been derived from the audited consolidated
balance sheet of the Company as of that date. Certain information and note
disclosures normally included in the Company's annual financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted.

Note 2: Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Guaranty Federal Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company"), its wholly owned subsidiary,
Guaranty Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank") and the wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Bank, Guaranty Financial Services of Springfield, Inc. All significant
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Note 3: Benefit Plans

The Company has established four stock award plans for the benefit of
certain directors, officers and employees of the Bank and its subsidiary. The
plans provide a proprietary interest in the Company in a manner designed to
encourage these individuals to remain with the Bank. A Committee of the Bank's
Board of Directors administers the plans. The Company accounts for the cost of
share purchases under the plans as a reduction of stockholders' equity. The
awards vest at the rate of 20% per year over a five-year period. Compensation
expense is recognized based on the Company's stock price on the date the shares
are awarded to employees.

On October 18, 1995, the Bank's stockholders voted to approve both a
Recognition and Retention Plan ("RRP") and a Stock Option Plan ("SOP"). On July
22, 1998, the Company's stockholders voted to approve both a 1998 Restricted
Stock Plan ("RSP") and a 1998 Stock Option Plan ("1998 SOP"). The RRP and RSP
authorized shares to be issued to directors, officers and employees of the Bank.
On February 17, 2000, the directors of the Company established the 2000 Stock
Compensation Plan (the "2000 SCP") with both a stock award component and a stock
option component. On March 22, 2001, the directors of the Company established
the 2001 Stock Compensation Plan (the "2001 SCP") with both a stock award
component and a stock option component. As of September 30, 2002, all of the
RRP,RSP, 2000 SCP and 2001 SCP shares have been purchased and all except 7,837
shares have been awarded. The Company is amortizing the RRP, RSP and SCP expense
over each participant's vesting period. The Company recognized $89,998 and
$123,560 of expense under these stock award plans for the three month periods
ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The SOP, 1998 SOP and the 2000
SCP authorized stock options on shares to be issued to officers and employees of
the Bank, as of September 30, 2002 all options except those on 63,703 shares
have been granted. The RRP, RSP, SOP,1998 SOP and 2000 SCP vest over a five year
period. As of September 30, 2002, there were 422,497 unexercised options that
have been granted at prices ranging from $5.83 to $13.89 per share and 46,949
RRP, RSP, 2000 SCP and 2001 SCP shares were unvested.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

General

The primary function of the Company has been to monitor its investment in
the Bank. As a result, the results of operations of the Company are derived
primarily from operations of the Bank. The Bank's results of operations are
primarily dependent on net interest margin, which is the difference between
interest income on interest-earning assets and interest expense on
interest-bearing liabilities. The Bank's income is also affected by the level of
its noninterest expenses, such as employee salaries and benefits, occupancy
expenses and other expenses. The following discussion reviews the financial
condition at September 30, 2002, and the results of operations for the three
months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001.

The discussion set forth below, as well as other portions of this Form
10-Q, may contain forward-looking comments. Such comments are based upon the
information currently available to management of the Company and management's
perception thereof as of the date of the Form 10-Q. Actual results of the
Company's operations could materially differ from those forward-looking
comments. The differences could be caused by a number of factors or combination
of factors including, but not limited to: changes in demand for banking
services; changes in portfolio composition; changes in management strategy;
increased competition from both bank and non-bank companies; and changes in the
general level of interest rates.

Financial Condition

The Company's total assets increased $497,973 from $376,939,544 as of June
30, 2002, to $377,437,517 as of September 30, 2002.

Interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions decreased
$848,812 (6%) from $13,711,923 as of June 30, 2002, to $12,863,111 as of
September 30, 2002, as the funds were used to fund new loans.

Securities available-for-sale decreased $673,716 (4%) from $16,463,460 as
of June 30, 2002, to $15,789,744 as of September 30, 2002. The Bank continues to
hold 82,000 shares of Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") stock
with an amortized cost of $80,294 in the available-for-sale category. As of
September 30, 2002, the gross unrealized gain on the stock was $4,496,126, a
decrease from $5,044,706 as of June 30, 2002.

Securities held-to-maturity decreased due to principal repayments, by
$264,693 (8%) from $3,219,091 as of June 30, 2002, to $2,954,398 as of September
30, 2002.

Net loans receivable increased by $1,524,871 from $316,785,118 as of June
30, 2002, to $318,309,989 as of September 30, 2002. During this period the Bank
continued its increased emphasis on commercial lending. As a result, commercial
loans have increased by $2,913,688 during this period. In addition the Bank is
selling conforming loans on single family residences, while retaining the
servicing rights. As a result permanent mortgage loans secured by both owner and
non-owner occupied residential real estate decreased by $1,791,178 while loans
held for sale increased by $1,999,576. The Bank continued to be active in
construction lending. As a result construction loans increased by $5,401,529
during the period. Loan growth is anticipated to continue and represents a major
part of the Bank's planned asset growth.

Allowance for loan losses decreased $16,233 from $2,649,872 as of June 30,
2002 to $2,633,639 as of September 30, 2002. The allowance decreased due to net
loan charge-offs exceeding the provision for loan losses for the period. The
allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2002 and June 30, 2002 was 0.81%
and 0.83%, respectively, of net loans outstanding. As of September 30, 2002, the
allowance for loan losses was 858% of impaired loans versus 151% as of June 30,
2002.

Premises and equipment decreased $138,280 (2%) from $7,356,098, as of June
30, 2002 to $7,217,818 as of September 30, 2002, primarily due to the
depreciation recognized on these assets.

Deposits decreased $962,547 from $223,652,319 as of June 30, 2002, to
$222,689,772 as of September 30, 2002. For the three months ended September 30,
2002, checking and savings accounts increased by $4,563,088 (5%) while
certificates of deposits decreased by $5,525,635 (4%).

Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased by $829,784 (1%) from
$111,083,163 as of June 30, 2002, to $111,912,947 as of September 30, 2002.

Advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance increased $343,301 (33%)
from $1,048,297 of June 30, 2002, to $1,391,698 as of September 30, 2002.

Stockholders' equity (including unrealized appreciation on securities
available-for-sale, net of tax) increased $279,615 (1%) from $35,434,877 as of
June 30, 2002, to $35,714,492 as of September 30, 2002. This increase was due to
several factors. During this period the Company net income was $896,046 which
was partially offset by dividends in the amount of $417,197 ($0.15 per share)
which were declared prior to September 30, 2002 and paid on October 18, 2002, to
stockholders' of record as of October 4, 2002. There was a decrease in the
unrealized appreciation on available-for-sale securities of $358,883. In
addition, the Company repurchased 3,215 shares of treasury stock at a cost of
$45,535 (an average cost of $14.16 per share). As of September 30, 2002, 28,494
shares remain to be repurchased under the repurchase plan announced January 5,
2001. On a per share basis, stockholders' equity increased from $12.69 as of
June 30, 2002 to $12.76 as of September 30, 2002.

Average Balances, Interest and Average Yields

The Company's profitability is primarily dependent upon net interest
income, which represents the difference between interest and fees earned on
loans and debt and equity securities, and the cost of deposits and borrowings.
Net interest income is dependent on the difference between the average balances
and rates earned on interest-earning assets and the average balances and rates
paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Non-interest income, non-interest expense,
and income taxes also impact net income.

The following table sets forth certain information relating to the
Company's average consolidated statements of financial condition and reflects
the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods
indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense
annualized by the average balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for
the periods shown. Average balances were derived from average daily balances.
The average balance of loans includes loans on which the Company has
discontinued accruing interest. The yields and costs include fees which are
considered adjustments to yields. All dollar amounts are in thousands.

Results of Operations - Comparison of Three Month Periods Ended September 30,
2002 and 2001

Income for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was $896,046 ($0.32
per share) as compared to $969,080, ($0.25 per share) for the three months ended
September 30, 2001, which represents a decrease in earnings of $73,034 for the
three month period ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same period in
2001.

Interest Income

Total interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2002,
decreased $995,020 (15%) as compared to the three months ended September 30,
2001. For the three month period ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same
period in 2001, the average yield on interest earning assets decreased 104 basis
points to 6.38%, while the average balance of interest earnings assets decreased
$2,683,000.


12


Interest Expense

Total interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2002,
decreased $832,669 (21%) when compared to the three months ended September 30,
2001. For the three month period ended September 30, 2002, the average cost of
interest bearing liabilities decreased 118 basis points to 3.88% while the
average balance increased $9,256,000 when compared to the same period in 2001.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2002,
decreased $162,351 (6%) when compared to the same period in 2001. The average
balance of interest bearing liabilities increased $11,939,000 more than the
average balance in interest earning assets. For the three month period ended
September 30, 2002, the earning yield minus the costing rate spread increased 14
basis points to 2.50% compared to the same period in 2001.

Provision for Loan Losses

Based primarily on the continued growth of the loan portfolio, management
decided to increase the allowance for loan losses through a provision for loan
loss of $100,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002, and of $75,000
for the same period in 2001. The Bank will continue to monitor its allowance for
loan losses and make future additions based on economic and regulatory
conditions. Although the Bank maintains its allowance for loan losses at a level
which it considers to be sufficient to provide for potential losses, there can
be no assurance that future losses will not exceed internal estimates. In
addition, the amount of the allowance for loan losses is subject to review by
regulatory agencies which can order the establishment of additional loss
provisions.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income increased $73,716 (9%) for the three months ended
September 30, 2002, when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2001.
These increases were primarily due to checking service charges of $87,555 (25%)
and late charges and prepayment penalties on loans of $127,833 (441%). These
increases were partially offset by a decrease of $117,921 (34%) on sales of
loans and investments. During the three month period ended September 30, 2002
there was a profit on sale of loans of $224,577. During this same period there
were no sales of investments. During the three month period ended September 30,
2001 there was a profit on sale of loans of $180,785 and a profit on sale of
investments of $161,713. The profit on sale of investments was due the sale of
various equity securities including 2,000 shares of FHLMC stock.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense increased $19,938 (1%) for the three months ended
September 30, 2002, when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2001.
This small increase can be attributed to the Company's aggressive approach to
controlling expenses. There was no significant change in any individual expense
category.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes decreased $60,539 (11%) for the three
months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the same period in 2001. This
decrease was due to the decrease in before tax income for the three months ended
September 30, 2002, compared to the same period in 2001.

Nonperforming Assets

The allowance for loan losses is calculated based upon an evaluation of
pertinent factors underlying the various types and quality of the loans.
Management considers such factors as the repayment status of a loan, the
estimated net realizable value of the underlying collateral, the borrower's
intent and ability to repay the loan, local economic conditions and the Bank's
historical loss ratios. The Bank's allowance for loan losses as of September 30,


13


2002, was $2,633,639 or 0.81% of loans receivable. Total assets classified as
substandard or loss as of September 30, 2002, were $296,304 or 0.1% of total
assets. Management has considered nonperforming and total classified assets in
evaluating the adequacy of the Bank's allowance for loan losses.

The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets is another useful tool
in evaluating exposure to credit risk. Nonperforming assets of the Bank include
nonperforming loans (nonaccruing loans) and assets which have been acquired as a
result of foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. All dollar amounts are in
thousands.

Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) recently adopted Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS 142), "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets". This Statement establishes new financial accounting and
reporting standards for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. The
Statement addresses how intangible assets that are acquired individually or with
a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a business combination)
should be accounted for in financial statements upon their acquisition. It also
addresses how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for after
they have been initially recognized in the financial statements. SFAS 142 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company has
adopted SFAS 142 in the quarter ending September 30, 2002. Adoption of SFAS 142
as of that date had no effect on the Company's financial statements.

The FASB recently adopted SFAS 147, "Acquisitions of Certain Financial
Institutions." This statement removes acquisitions of financial institutions
from the scope of SFAS 72, "Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of Banking or
Thrift Institutions" if those acquisitions meet the definition of a business
combination. Financial institutions meeting certain conditions in SFAS 147 will
be required to cease amortizing certain intangible assets acquired in
transactions previously accounted for under SFAS 72 and restate previously
issued interim financial information. The provisions of the Statement are
effective on October 1, 2002. Management believes initial adoption of SFAS 147
will have no material effect on the Company's financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Asset/Liability Management

The goal of the Bank's asset/liability policy is to manage interest rate
risk so as to maximize net interest income over time in changing interest rate
environments. Management monitors the Bank's net interest spreads (the
difference between yields received on assets and paid on liabilities) and,
although constrained by market conditions, economic conditions, and prudent
underwriting standards, the Bank offers deposit rates and loan rates designed to
maximize net interest income. Management also attempts to fund the Bank's assets
with liabilities of a comparable duration to minimize the impact of changing
interest rates on the Bank's net interest income. Since the relative spread
between financial assets and liabilities is constantly changing, the Bank's
current net interest income may not be an indication of future net interest
income.


14


As a part of its asset and liability management strategy the Bank
implemented an adjustable rate mortgage loan ("ARM") program beginning in the
early 1980s. Throughout the past several years, the Bank has continued to
emphasize the origination of adjustable-rate, one- to four-family residential
loans and adjustable-rate or relatively short-term commercial real estate,
commercial business and consumer loans, while originating fixed-rate, one- to
four-family residential loans primarily for immediate resale in the secondary
market on a service-retained basis. This allows the Bank to serve the customer's
needs and retain a banking relationship without the risk of carrying a long-term
fixed-rate loan on the books.

The Bank is also managing interest rate risk by the origination of
construction loans. As of September 30, 2002, such loans made up 17.3% of the
net loans receivable. In general, these loans have higher yields, shorter
maturities and greater interest rate sensitivity than other real estate loans.

The Bank constantly monitors its deposits in an effort to decrease their
interest rate sensitivity. Rates of interest paid on deposits at the Bank are
priced competitively in order to meet the Bank's asset/liability management
objectives and spread requirements. As of June 30, 2002, the Bank's savings
accounts, checking accounts, and money market deposit accounts totaled
$92,070,160 or 41% of its total deposits. As of September 30, 2002, these
accounts totaled $96,633,248 or 43% of total deposits. The Bank believes, based
on historical experience, that a substantial portion of such accounts represents
non-interest rate sensitive, core deposits.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis

The following table sets forth as of June 30, 2002 (the most recent
available), the OTS estimate of the projected changes in net portfolio value
("NPV") in the event of 100, 200, and 300 basis point ("bp") instantaneous and
permanent increases and a 100 basis point instantaneous and permanent decrease
in market interest rates. Dollar amounts are expressed in thousands.



Estimated Net Portfolio Value NPV as % of PV of Assets
BP Change -------------------------------------------- ------------------------
in Rates $ Amount $ Change % Change NPV Ratio Change
- --------- -------- -------- -------- --------- ------

+300 $39,398 $ (111) 0% 10.58% 0.33%
+200 40,059 550 1% 10.62% 0.37%
+100 40,098 589 1% 10.51% 0.26%
NC 39,509 -- -- 10.25% --
-100 37,785 (1,724) -4% 9.74% -0.51%


Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes
are calculated by the OTS from data provided by the Bank and are based on
numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, loan
repayments and deposit run-offs, and should not be relied upon as indicative of
actual results. Further, the computations do not contemplate any actions the
Bank may undertake in response to changes in interest rates.

Management cannot predict future interest rates or their effect on the
Bank's NPV in the future. Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of
analysis presented in the computation of NPV. For example, although certain
assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they
may react in differing degrees to changes in market interest rates.
Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable rate loans, which represent the
Bank's primary loan product, have an initial fixed rate period typically from
one to five years and over the remaining life of the asset changes in the
interest rate are restricted. In addition, the proportion of adjustable rate
loans in the Bank's portfolio could decrease in future periods due to
refinancing activity if market interest rates remain steady in the future.
Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early
withdrawal levels could deviate significantly from those assumed in the table.
Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their adjustable-rate debt may
decrease in the event of an interest rate increase.

The Bank's Board of Directors is responsible for reviewing the asset and
liability policies. The Board meets quarterly to review interest rate risk and
trends, as well as liquidity and capital ratios and requirements. The


15


Bank's management is responsible for administering the policies and
determinations of the Board of Directors with respect to the Bank's asset and
liability goals and strategies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest
payments on loans and securities and extensions of credit from the Federal Home
Loan Bank of Des Moines. While scheduled loan and security repayments and the
maturity of short-term investments are somewhat predictable sources of funding,
deposit flows are influenced by many factors, which make their cash flows
difficult to anticipate.

The Bank uses its liquidity resources principally to satisfy its ongoing
commitments which include funding loan commitments, funding maturing
certificates of deposit as well as deposit withdrawals, maintaining liquidity,
purchasing investments, and meeting operating expenses. As of September 30,
2002, the Bank had approximately $4,620,000 in commitments to originate mortgage
loans and $21,924,000 in loans-in-process on mortgage loans. These commitments
will be funded through existing cash balances, cash flow from operations and, if
required, FHLB advances . Management believes that anticipated cash flows and
deposit growth will be adequate to meet the Bank's liquidity needs.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed
to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's Exchange
Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is
accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of
"disclosure controls and procedures" in Rule 13a-14(c).

Within 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Company carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's
management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Company's
Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, the
Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

(b) There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or
in other factors that could significantly affect the internal controls
subsequent to the date the Company completed its evaluation.
