PART I

Item 1. Business

Business of the Company

Guaranty Federal Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Delaware-chartered corporation that was created in September 1997 at the direction of Guaranty Federal Savings Bank, a federal savings bank (the "Bank"). The Company became a unitary savings and loan holding company for the Bank on December 30, 1997, in connection with a plan of conversion and reorganization involving the Bank and its then existing mutual holding company. The mutual holding company structure had been created in April 1995 at which time more than a majority of the shares of the Bank were issued to the mutual holding company and the remaining shares were sold in a public offering. In connection with the conversion and reorganization on December 30, 1997, the shares of the Bank held by the mutual holding company were extinguished along with the mutual holding company, and the shares of the Bank held by the public were exchanged for shares of the Company. All of the shares of the Bank which remained outstanding after the conversion are owned by the Company. Shares of the Company were issued on December 30, 1997.

On June 27, 2003, the Bank converted from a federal savings bank to a state-chartered trust company with banking powers in Missouri, and the Company became a bank holding company. On this date, the name of the Bank was changed from Guaranty Federal Savings Bank to Guaranty Bank. The primary activity of the Company is to oversee its investment in the Bank. The Company engages in few other activities. For this reason, unless otherwise specified, references to the Company include operations of the Bank. Further, information in a chart or table based on Bank only data is identical to or immaterially different from information that would be provided on a consolidated basis. In addition to the Bank, the Company owns Guaranty Statutory Trust I and Guaranty Statutory Trust II, both Delaware statutory trusts.

In 2003, the Company changed its fiscal year end from June 30 to a calendar year end of December 31. As a result, the Company reported a six month transition period ended December 31, 2003 (the “Transition Period”) in order to change to this new calendar year end.

Business of the Bank

The Bank's principal business has been, and continues to be, attracting retail deposits from the general public and investing those deposits, together with funds generated from operations, in permanent one-to four-family residential mortgage loans, multi-family residential mortgage loans, construction loans, commercial real estate loans, and consumer and other loans. The Bank also invests in mortgage-backed securities, U.S. Government and federal agency securities and other marketable securities. The Bank's revenues are derived principally from interest on its loans and other investments and fees charged for services provided, and 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 primary sources of funds are: deposits; borrowings; amortization and prepayments of loan principal; and amortizations, prepayments and maturities of mortgage-backed securities.

The Bank is regulated by the Missouri Division of Finance and its deposits are insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"). See discussion under section captioned “Regulation” in this report. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (the “FHLB”), which is one of twelve regional Federal Home Loan Banks. As a member, the Bank is required to purchase and maintain stock in the FHLB in an amount equal to 0.12% of its assets plus 4.45% of its outstanding FHLB advances. At December 31, 2005, the Bank had $4,978,800 in FHLB stock, which was in compliance with this requirement.

5

Information regarding (i) average balances related to interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities and an analysis of net interest earnings for the last three fiscal years and the Transition Period, and (ii) changes in interest income and interest expense resulting from changes in average balances and average rates for the last two fiscal years, including the Transition Period, is provided under the section captioned “Average Balances, Interest and Average Yields” under Item 7 of this report.

Market Area

The Bank's primary market area is Greene County, which is in the southwestern corner of Missouri and includes the city of Springfield,Missouri. There is a large regional health care presence with two large regional hospitals employing over 14,000. There also are four accredited colleges and one major university with total enrollment approaching 25,000. Part of Greene County's growth can be attributed to its proximity to Branson, Missouri, which has developed a strong tourism industry related to country music and entertainment. Branson is located 30 miles south of Springfield, and attracts between five and six million tourists each year, many of whom pass through Springfield.

One- to Four-Family Mortgage Loans. The Bank offers fixed- and adjustable-rate (“ARM”) first mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family residences in the Bank's primary lending area. Typically, such residences are single family homes that serve as the primary residence of the owner. However, there are a significant number of loans originated by the Bank which are secured by non-owner occupied properties. Loan originations are generally obtained from existing or past customers, members of the local community, attorney referrals, established builders, and realtors within the Bank's market area. Originated mortgage loans in the Bank's portfolio include due-on-sale clauses which provide the Bank with the contractual right to deem the loan immediately due and payable in the event that the borrower transfers ownership of the property without the Bank's consent.

As of December 31, 2005, $103.5 million or 23% of the Bank’s total loan portfolio consisted of one- to four-family residential loans, of which 75% were ARM loans. The Bank currently offers ARM and balloon loans that have fixed interest rate periods of one to seven years. Generally, ARM loans provide for limits on the maximum interest rate adjustment ("caps") that can be made at the end of each applicable period and throughout the duration of the loan. ARM loans are originated for a term of up to 30 years on owner-occupied properties and generally up to 25 years on non-owner occupied properties. Typically, interest rate adjustments are calculated based on U.S. treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year (CMT), plus a 2.50% to 2.75% margin. Interest rates charged on fixed-rate loans are competitively priced based on market conditions and the cost of funds existing at the time the loan is committed. The Bank's fixed-rate mortgage loans are made for terms of 15 to 30 years which are currently being sold on the secondary market.

Generally, ARM loans pose credit risks different from the risks inherent in fixed-rate loans, primarily because as interest rates rise the underlying payments of the borrower rise, thereby increasing the potential for default. At the same time, the marketability of the underlying property may be adversely affected by higher interest rates. The Bank does not originate ARM loans that provide for negative amortization.

8

The Bank generally originates both owner occupied and non-owner occupied one- to four-family residential mortgage loans in amounts up to 80% of the appraised value or the selling price of the mortgaged property, whichever is lower. The Bank on occasion may make loans up to 95% of appraised value or the selling price of the mortgage property, whichever is lower. However, the Bank typically requires private mortgage insurance for the excess amount over 80% for mortgage loans with loan to value percentages greater than 80%.

Multi-Family Mortgage Loans. The Bank originates multi-family mortgage loans in its primary lending area. As of December 31, 2005, $53.6 million or 12% of the Bank's total loan portfolio consisted of multi-family residential real estate loans. With regard to multi-family mortgage loans, the Bank generally requires personal guarantees of the principals as well as a security interest in the real estate. Multi-family mortgage loans are generally originated in amounts of up to 80% of the appraised value of the property. The majority of the Bank’s multi-family mortgage loans have been originated with adjustable rates of interest which are quoted at a spread to the FHLB advance rate for the initial fixed rate period with subsequent adjustments based on the Wall Street prime rate. The loan-to-one-borrower limitation, $14.4 million as of December 31, 2005, is the maximum the Bank will lend on a multi-family residential real estate loan.

Loans secured by multi-family residential real estate generally involve a greater degree of credit risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans and carry larger loan balances. This increased credit risk is a result of several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the effects of general economic conditions on income producing properties, and the increased difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these types of loans. Furthermore, the repayment of loans secured by multi-family residential real estate is typically dependent upon the successful operation of the related real estate property. If the cash flow from the project is reduced, the borrower's ability to repay the loan may be impaired.

Construction Loans. As of December 31, 2005, construction loans totaled $70.4 million or 16% of the Bank's total loan portfolio. Construction loans originated by the Bank are generally secured by permanent mortgage loans for the construction of owner-occupied residential real estate or to finance speculative construction secured by residential real estate or owner-operated commercial real estate. This portion of the Bank’s loan portfolio predominantly consists of speculative loans, i.e.,loans to builders who are speculating that they will be able to locate a purchaser for the underlying property prior to or shortly after the time construction has been completed.

Construction loans are made to contractors who have sufficient financial strength and a proven track record, for the purpose of resale, as well as on a "pre-sold" basis. Construction loans made for the purpose of resale generally provide for interest only payments at floating rates and have terms of six months to fifteen months. Construction loans to a borrower who will occupy a home, or to a builder who has pre-sold the home, typically have loan to value ratios of up to 85%. Construction loans for speculative purposes, models, and commercial properties typically have loan to value ratios of up to 80%. Loan proceeds are disbursed in increments as construction progresses and as inspections warrant.

Construction lending by its nature entails significant additional risks as compared with one-to four-family mortgage lending, attributable primarily to the fact that funds are advanced upon the security of the project under construction prior to its completion. As a result, construction lending often involves the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment dependent on the success of the ultimate project and the ability of the borrower or guarantor to repay the loan. Because of these factors, the analysis of the prospective construction loan projects requires an expertise that is different in significant respects from that which is required for residential mortgage lending. The Bank attempts to address these risks through its underwriting and construction monitoring procedures.

9

 Commercial Real Estate Loans. As of December 31, 2005, the Bank has commercial real estate loans totaling $122.9 million or 28% of the Bank's total loan portfolio. Commercial real estate loans are generally originated in amounts up to 80% of the appraised value of the mortgaged property. The majority of the Bank’s commercial real estate loans have been originated with adjustable rates of interest, the majority of which are quoted at a spread to the FHLB advance rate for the initial fixed rate period with subsequent adjustments at a spread to the Wall Street prime rate. The Bank's commercial real estate loans are generally permanent loans secured by improved property such as office buildings, retail stores, small shopping centers, medical offices, motels, churches and other non-residential buildings.

To originate commercial real estate loans, the Bank generally requires a mortgage and security interest in the subject real estate, personal guarantees of the principals, a security interest in the related personal property, and a standby assignment of rents and leases. The Bank has established its loan-to-one borrower limitation, which was $14.8 million as of December 31, 2005, as its maximum commercial real estate loan amount. Because of the small number of commercial real estate loans and the relationship of each borrower to the Bank, each such loan has differing terms and conditions applicable to the particular borrower.

 Loans secured by commercial real estate are generally larger and involve a greater degree of risk than residential mortgage loans. Because payments on loans secured by commercial real estate are often dependent on successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be subject, to a greater extent, to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy. The Bank seeks to minimize these risks by careful underwriting, requiring personal guarantees, lending only to established customers and borrowers otherwise known by the Bank, and generally restricting such loans to its primary market area.

As of December 31, 2005, the Bank’s commercial real estate loan portfolio included approximately $7.9 million in loans to develop land into residential lots. The Bank utilizes its knowledge of the local market conditions and appraisals to evaluate the development cost and estimate projected lot prices and absorption rates to assess loans on residential subdivisions. The Bank typically loans up to 80% of the appraised value over terms up to two years. Development loans generally involve a greater degree of risk than residential mortgage loans because (1) the funds are advanced upon the security of the land which has a materially lower value prior to completion of the infrastructure required of a subdivision, (2) the cash flow available for debt repayment is a function of the sale of the individual lots, and (3) the amount of interest required to service the debt is a function of the time required to complete the development and sell the lots.

Commercial Business Loans. As of December 31, 2005, the Bank has commercial business loans totaling $66.4 million or 15% of the Bank's total loan portfolio. Commercial business loans are generally secured by business assets, such as accounts receivable, equipment and inventory.Unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the borrower's ability to make repayment from his or her employment and other income and which are secured by real property whose value tends to be more easily ascertainable, commercial business loans are of higher risk and typically are made on the basis of the borrower's ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower's business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans may be substantially dependent on the success of the business itself. Further, the collateral securing the loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business. The Bank expects to continue to expand its commercial business lending as opportunities present themselves.

Consumer and Other Loans. The Bank also offers other loans, primarily consisting of loans secured by certificates of deposit, consumer loans, home equity loans and automobile loans. As of December 31, 2005, the Bank has such loans totaling $24.3 million or 6% of the Bank’s total loan portfolio. The Bank expects to continue to expand its consumer lending as opportunities present themselves.

10

Loan Approval Authority and Underwriting. All loans to borrowers with aggregate indebtedness exceeding $1.5 million must have the approval of the members of the Bank’s Loan Committee which consists of eight senior officers of the Bank. The Loan Committee meets weekly to review and approve loans made within the scope of its authority.

For all loans originated by the Bank, upon receipt of a completed loan application from a prospective borrower, a credit report is requested, income, assets, and certain other information are verified, and, if necessary, additional financial information is requested. An appraisal of the real estate intended to secure the proposed loan is generally required and is performed by certified appraisers. It is the Bank's policy to obtain appropriate insurance protection on all real estate first mortgage loans. Borrowers generally must also obtain hazard insurance prior to closing and generally are required to advance funds for certain items such as real estate taxes, flood insurance and private mortgage insurance, when applicable.

Delinquencies, Non-Performing and Problem Assets.

Delinquent Loans. As of December 31, 2005, the Bank has one loan 90 days or more past due with a principal balance of $28,418 and twenty three loans between 30 and 89 days past due with an aggregate principal balance of $579,852. The Bank generally does not accrue interest on loans past due more than 90 days.

  Non-Performing Assets.Loans are reviewed on a regular basis and are placed on non-accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the collection of all interest at contractual rates becomes doubtful. Included as part of such review, mortgage loans are placed on non-accrual status generally when either principal or interest is more than 90 days past due. Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is placed on non-accrual status is charged against interest income.

 Real estate acquired by the Bank as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is deemed a foreclosed asset held for sale until such time as it is sold. When a foreclosed asset held for sale is acquired it is recorded at its estimated fair value, less estimated selling expenses. Valuations of such foreclosed assets are periodically performed by management, and any subsequent decline in estimated fair value is charged to operations.

Problem Assets. Federal regulations require that the Bank review and classify its assets on a regular basis to determine those assets considered to be of lesser quality. In addition, in connection with examinations of insured institutions, bank examiners have authority to identify problem assets and, if appropriate, require them to be classified. There are three classifications for problem assets: substandard, doubtful, and loss. "Substandard assets" must have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the insured institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. "Doubtful assets" have the weaknesses of substandard assets with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values questionable, and there is a high possibility of loss. An asset classified "loss" is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset of the institution is not warranted. The regulations have also created a “special mention” category, described as assets which do not currently expose an insured institution to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant classification but do possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving management's close attention. Federal regulations require the Bank to establish general allowances for loan losses from assets classified as substandard or doubtful. If an asset or portion thereof is classified as loss, the insured institution must either establish specific allowances for loan losses in the amount of 100% of the portion of the asset classified loss or charge off such amount. A portion of general loss allowances established to cover possible losses related to assets classified substandard or doubtful may be included in determining an institution's regulatory capital, while specific valuation allowances for loan losses generally do not qualify as regulatory capital.

 For management purposes, the Bank also designates certain loans for additional attention. Such loans are called “Special Mention” and have identified weaknesses, that if the situation deteriorates, the loans would merit a substandardclassification.

The following table shows the aggregate amounts of the Bank's classified assets as of December 31, 2005. As of December 31, 2005, foreclosed assets held for sale consists of five vehicles.

Allowance for Loan Losses

 The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses based on management's evaluation of the risk inherent in its loan portfolio and the general economy. Such evaluation, which includes a review of all loans on which full collectibility may not be reasonably assured, considers among other matters, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, economic conditions, historical loan loss experience, and other factors that warrant recognition in providing for an adequate loan loss allowance. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank's allowance for loan losses and valuation of foreclosed assets held for sale. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

As of December 31, 2005 the Bank's total allowance for loan losses was $5.4 million or 1.2% of total loans. This allowance reflects not only management's determination to maintain an allowance for loan losses consistent with regulatory expectations for non-performing or problem assets, but also reflects the regional economy and the Bank's policy of evaluating the risks inherent in its loan portfolio.

For fiscal years 2001 through 2005, the Bank experienced loan charge offs in excess of recoveries, and based on the loan portfolio review discussed above, elected to add to the allowance through a provision for loan loss, as shown in the table below. Management anticipates the need to continue adding to the allowance through charges to provision for loan losses as anticipated growth in the loan portfolio or other circumstances warrant.

Borrowings

The Company’s borrowings consist primarily of FHLB advances and issuances of junior subordinated debentures.

Deposits are the primary source of funds for the Bank's lending activities and other general business purposes. However, during periods when supply of lendable funds cannot meet the demand for such loans, the FHLB System, to which the Bank is a member of, makes available, subject to compliance eligibility standards, a portion of the funds necessary through loans (advances) to its members. The following table presents certain data for FHLB advances as of the dates indicated.

Junior Subordinated Debentures: On December 15, 2005, the Company completed an offering of $15 million of “Trust Preferred Securities” (defined hereinafter). The Company formed two wholly-owned subsidiaries, each a Delaware statutory trust (each a “Trust”, and collectively, the “Trusts”), for the purpose of issuing the $15 million of Trust Preferred Securities. The proceeds of the sale of Trust Preferred Securities, together with the proceeds of the Trusts’ sale of their common securities to the Company for [$465,000], were used by each Trust to purchase certain debentures from the Company. The Company issued 30-year junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures to the Trusts in the principal amount of $5,155,000 (“Trust I Debentures”) and $10,310,000 (“Trust II Debentures”, and together with the Trust I Debentures, the “Debentures”) pursuant to the terms of Indentures dated December 15, 2005 by and between the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee. The Trust I Debentures bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.92%, payable quarterly. The Trust II Debentures bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.47% for 5 years, payable quarterly, after issuance and thereafter at a floating rate equal to the three month LIBOR plus 1.45%. The interest payments by the Company to the Trusts will be used to pay the dividends payable by the Trusts to the holders of the Trust Preferred Securities.

The Debentures mature on February 23, 2036. Subject to prior approval by the Federal Reserve Board, the Debentures and the Trust Preferred Securities are each callable by the Company or the Trusts, respectively and as applicable, at its option after five years from issuance, and sooner in the case of a special redemption at a special redemption price ranging up to 103.2% of the principal amount thereof, and upon the occurrence of certain events, such as a change in the regulatory capital treatment of the Trust Preferred Securities, either Trust being deemed an investment company or the occurrence of certain adverse tax events. In addition, the Company and the Trusts may defer interest and dividend payments, respectively, for up to five consecutive years without resulting in a default. An event of default may occur if the Company declares bankruptcy, fails to make the required payments within 30 days or breaches certain covenants within the Debentures. The Debentures are subordinated to the prior payment of any other indebtedness of the Company.

Pursuant to two guarantee agreements by and between the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, the Company issued a limited, irrevocable guarantee of the obligations of each Trust under the Trust Preferred Securities whereby the Company has guaranteed any and all payment obligations of the Trusts related to the Trust Preferred Securities including distributions on, and the liquidation or redemption price of, the Trust Preferred Securities to the extent each Trust does not have funds available.

The Company intends to use the proceeds of the sale of the Trust Preferred Securities for general corporate purposes which may include investment in the Bank (including funding of the Bank’s loan portfolio growth), acquisitions, investments, payment of dividends and repurchases of its outstanding Common Stock.

The following table sets forth certain information as to the Company's subordinated debentures issued to the Trusts at the dates indicated.

Subsidiary Activity and Segment Information

The Company has three wholly-owned subsidiaries: (i) the Bank, the Company’s principal subsidiary and a state-chartered trust company with banking powers in Missouri; (ii) Guaranty Statutory Trust I, a Delaware statutory trust (“Trust I”); and (ii) Guaranty Statutory Trust II, a Delaware statutory trust (“Trust II”, and together with Trust I, the “Trusts”). Trust I and Trust II were formed in December 2005 for the exclusive purpose of issuing trust preferred securities to acquire junior subordinated debentures issued by the Company. Those debentures are the sole assets of the Trusts. The interest payments by the Company on the debentures are the sole revenues of the Trusts and are used by the Trusts to pay the dividends to the holders of the trust preferred securities. The Company has guaranteed any and all payment obligations of the Trusts related to the trust preferred securities.

The Bank has one service corporation subsidiary, Guaranty Financial Services of Springfield, Inc., a Missouri corporation. This service corporation, which has been inactive since February 1, 2003, had agreements with third party providers for the sale of securities and casualty insurance products.

Other information about the Company’s business segments is contained in the section captioned “Segment Information” in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2005 Annual Report. This information is incorporated herein by reference.

Critical Accounting Policies

“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in Item 8 of this report is based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments.

Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates. If actual results are different than management’s judgements and estimates, the Company’s financial results could change, and such change could be material to the Company.

Material estimates and judgments that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses. In connection with the determination of the allowance for loan losses, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties.

The Company has identified the accounting policies for the allowance for loan losses and related significant estimates and judgments as critical to its business operations and the understanding of its results of operations. For a detailed discussion on the application of these significant estimates and judgments and our accounting policies, also see Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in the December 31, 2005 Annual Report.

Employees

 Substantially, all of the activities of the Company are conducted through the Bank. As of December 31, 2005 the Company has no salaried employees.

As of March 8, 2006, the Bank has 105 full-time employees and 37 part-time employees. None of the Bank's employees are represented by a collective bargaining group. The Bank believes that its relationship with its employees is good.

Competition

The Bank experiences substantial competition both in attracting and retaining deposit accounts and in the making of mortgage and other loans.

Direct competition for savings accounts comes from other savings institutions, credit unions, regional bank and thrift holding companies, and commercial banks located in its primary market area. Significant competition for the Bank's other deposit products and services comes from money market mutual funds, brokerage firms, insurance companies, and retail stores. The primary factors in competing for loans are interest rates and loan origination fees and the range of services offered by various financial institutions. Competition for origination of real estate and other loans normally comes from commercial banks, savings institutions, mortgage bankers, mortgage brokers, and insurance companies.

The Bank's primary competition comprises the financial institutions near each of the Bank's offices. In the Springfield metropolitan area, where the Bank's main office and branch offices are located, primary competition consists of 23 commercial banks, 12 credit unions, and 1 savings institution.

The Bank believes it is able to compete effectively in its primary market area by offering competitive interest rates and loan fees, and a variety of deposit products, and by emphasizing personal customer service.

Regulation

Set forth below is a brief description of certain laws which relate to the regulation of the Company and the Bank. These laws, and regulations adopted under these laws, are primarily intended for the protection of the Bank’s customers and depositors and not for the benefit of the stockholders of the Company. The following description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable laws and regulations.

Regulation of the Company

General. The Company is a registered bank holding company subject to regulation and supervision of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“FRB”) under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (“BHCA”).

Capital. The FRB has adopted risk-based capital guidelines for bank holding companies. The minimum guideline for the ratio (“Risk-Based Capital Ratio”) of total capital (“Total Capital”) to risk-weighted assets (including certain off-balance-sheet commitments such as standby letters of credit) is 8%. At least one-half of Total Capital must be composed of Tier 1 Capital which generally consists of common shareholders' equity, minority interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock, a limited amount of cumulative perpetual preferred stock and certain nonfinancial equity investments, less goodwill and certain other intangible assets. The remainder, denominated "Tier 2 Capital," generally consists of limited amounts of subordinated debt, qualifying hybrid capital instruments, other preferred stock, loan loss reserves and unrealized gains on certain equity securities.

In addition, the FRB has established minimum leverage ratio guidelines for bank holding companies. These guidelines provide for a minimum ratio of Tier 1 Capital to average total assets less goodwill (“Leverage Ratio”) of 3% for bank holding companies that meet certain specified criteria, including those having the highest regulatory rating. All other bank holding companies generally are required to maintain a Leverage Ratio of at least 4%. The guidelines also provide that bank holding companies anticipating or experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions are expected to maintain strong capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels without significant reliance upon intangible assets. Furthermore, the FRB has indicated that it will consider a "tangible Tier 1 Leverage Ratio" (after deducting all intangibles) and other indicia of capital strength in evaluating proposals for expansion or new activities.

The Bank is subject to Risk-Based Capital and Leverage Ratio requirements adopted by the FDIC, which are substantially similar to those adopted by the FRB. See “Regulation of the Bank - Prompt Corrective Action.” In addition, a bank's capital classifications may affect a bank's activities. For example, under regulations adopted by the FDIC governing the receipt of brokered deposits, a bank may not lawfully accept, roll over or renew brokered deposits unless either (i) it is well capitalized or (ii) it is adequately capitalized and receives a waiver from the FDIC.

As of December 31, 2005, the Company and the Bank met their minimum capital adequacy guidelines, and the Bank was categorized as well capitalized. Applicable capital and ratio information is contained under the section titled “Regulatory Matters” in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2005 Annual Report.

Dividend Restrictions and Share Repurchases.The Company’s source of cash flow (including cash flow to pay dividends to stockholders) is dividends paid to it by the Bank. The right of the Company to receive dividends or other distributions from the Bank is subject to the prior claims of creditors of the Bank, including depositors.

26

There are statutory and regulatory limitations on the payment of dividends to the Company by the Bank. See discussion under “Regulation of the Bank - Dividend Limitations.” Future dividends will depend primarily upon the level of earnings of the Bank. Banking regulators also have the authority to prohibit banks and bank holding companies from paying a dividend if they should deem such payment to be an unsafe or unsound practice.

Unless a bank holding company is well capitalized immediately before and after the repurchase of its equity securities, is well managed and is not subject to any unresolved supervisory issues, it must notify the FRB prior to the purchase or redemption of its outstanding equity securities if the gross consideration for the purchase or redemption, when combined with the net consideration (gross consideration paid minus the gross consideration received from the sale of equity securities) paid by the Company during the preceding twelve months, is equal to 10% or more of the Company’s consolidated net worth. The FRB may disapprove of the purchase or redemption if it determines, among other things, that the proposal would constitute an unsafe or unsound business practice.

Support of Banking Subsidiaries. Under FRB policy, the Company is expected to act as a source of financial strength to the Bank and, where required, to commit resources to support the Bank. Moreover, if the Bank should become undercapitalized, the Company would be required to guarantee the Bank's compliance with its capital restoration plan in order for such plan to be accepted by the FDIC.

Acquisitions. Under the BHCA, the Company must obtain the prior approval of the FRB before it may acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any bank, acquire direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any bank, or merge or consolidate with any other bank holding company. The BHCA also restricts the Company’s ability to acquire direct or indirect ownership or control of 5% or more of any class of voting shares of any nonbanking corporation. The FRB is required to consider the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the bank holding companies and banks concerned and the convenience and needs of the community to be served. Consideration of financial resources generally focuses on capital adequacy. Consideration of convenience and needs issues includes the involved institutions’ performance under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, as amended (the “CRA”). Under the CRA, all financial institutions have a continuing and affirmative obligation consistent with safe and sound operation to help meet the credit needs of their entire communities, including low-to-moderate income neighborhoods. Based on its most recent CRA compliance examinations, the Bank has received a "satisfactory" CRA rating.

Transactions With Affiliates. There are various legal restrictions on the extent to which a bank holding company may borrow or otherwise obtain credit from or sell assets or affiliate securities to its bank subsidiary. In general, covered transactions with a bank subsidiary must be on nonpreferential terms and cannot exceed, as to any one of the holding company or the holding company's nonbank subsidiaries, 10% of the bank's capital stock and surplus, and as to the holding company and all of its nonbank subsidiaries in the aggregate, 20% of such capital stock and surplus. Special collateral requirements also apply to covered extensions of credit.

Regulation of the Bank

General. The Bank is regulated and supervised by the Missouri Division of Finance, and its deposits are insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund (“SAIF”) of the FDIC. Lending activities and other investments must comply with various federal statutory and regulatory requirements. The Bank is also subject to certain reserve requirements promulgated by the FRB.

The Missouri Division of Finance, in conjunction with the FDIC, will regularly examine the Bank and provide reports to the Bank's Board of Directors on any deficiencies that are found in the Bank's operations. The Bank's relationship with its depositors and borrowers is also regulated to a great extent by federal and state law, especially in such matters as the ownership of savings accounts and the form and content of the Bank's mortgage documents.

27

The Bank must file reports with the Missouri Division of Finance and the FDIC concerning its activities and financial condition, in addition to obtaining regulatory approvals prior to entering into certain transactions such as mergers with or acquisitions of other banks or savings institutions. This regulation and supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which an institution can engage and is intended primarily for the protection of the SAIF and depositors. The regulatory structure also gives the regulatory authorities extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities and examination policies, including policies with respect to the classification of assets and the establishment of adequate loan loss reserves for regulatory purposes.

Insurance of Deposit Accounts. The deposit accounts held by the Bank are insured by the SAIF to a maximum of $100,000 for each insured depositor (as defined by law and regulation). Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC or the institution's primary regulator.

The FDIC charges an annual assessment for the insurance of deposits based on the risk a particular institution poses to its deposit insurance fund. Under this system, SAIF members pay within a range of 0 cents to 27 cents per $100 of domestic deposits, depending upon the institution's risk classification. Risk classification is based on an institution's capital group and supervisory subgroup assignment. In addition, all FDIC-insured institutions are required to pay assessments to the FDIC at an annual rate of approximately .0172% of insured deposits to fund interest payments on bonds issued by the Financing Corporation ("FICO"), an agency of the Federal government established to recapitalize the predecessor to the SAIF. These assessments will continue until the FICO bonds mature in 2017.

 See “Recent Legislation and Legislative and Regulatory Initiatives below for recent legislation which affects insurance on deposit accounts and other matters."

Prompt Corrective Action.The FDIC is required to take prompt corrective action if a depository institution for which it is the regulator, including the Bank, does not meet its minimum capital requirements. A depository institution is considered to be significantly undercapitalized if it has a Total Capital Ratio of less than 6.0%; a Tier I Capital ratio of less than 3.0%; or a Leverage Ratio of less than 3.0%. An institution that has a tangible equity capital to assets ratio equal to or less than 2.0% is deemed to be critically undercapitalized. "Tangible equity" includes core capital elements counted as Tier 1 Capital for purposes of the risk-based capital standards, plus the amount of outstanding cumulative perpetual preferred stock (including related surplus), minus all intangible assets, with certain exceptions.

The FDIC may, under certain circumstances, reclassify a well capitalized insured depository institution as adequately capitalized. It is also permitted to require an adequately capitalized or undercapitalized institution to comply with the supervisory provisions as if the institution were in the next lower category (but not treat a significantly undercapitalized institution as critically undercapitalized) based on supervisory information other than the capital levels of the institution. An institution may be reclassified if the FDIC determines (after notice and opportunity for hearing) that the institution is in an unsafe or unsound condition or deems the institution to be engaging in an unsafe or unsound practice.

As stated previously, the Company and the Bank met their minimum capital adequacy guidelines, and the Bank was categorized as well capitalized, as of December 31, 2005. Applicable capital and ratio information is contained under the section titled “Regulatory Matters” in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2005 Annual Report.

28

Safety and Soundness Standards.

Federal bank regulators are required to prescribe standards, by regulations or guidelines, relating to the internal controls, information systems and internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest-rate-risk exposure, asset growth, asset quality, earnings, stock valuation and compensation, fees and benefits and such other operational and managerial standards as the agencies may deem appropriate. The federal bank regulatory agencies have adopted guidelines prescribing safety and soundness standards, which require, among other things, appropriate systems and practices to identify and manage the risks and exposures specified in the guidelines.

Anti-Terrorism Legislation. The USA Patriot Act of 2001 contains anti-money laundering measures affecting insured depository institutions, broker-dealers and certain other financial institutions. U.S. financial institutions are required to adopt policies and procedures to combat money laundering and the Treasury Secretary is granted broad authority to establish regulations and to impose requirements and restrictions on financial institutions' operations.

Dividend Limitations. In the event the Bank would fail to meet federal minimum capital adequacy guidelines, its ability to pay dividends to the Company would be restricted. In addition, under Missouri law dividends paid by banks are restricted by a statutory formula, which provides for the maintenance of a surplus fund and prohibits the payment of dividends which would impair the surplus fund.

Recent Legislation and Legislative and Regulatory Initiatives

On February 8, 2006, the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 (“FDIRA”) was signed into law as part of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (conforming amendments are contained in the Federal Deposit Insurance Conforming Amendments Act of 2005 signed into law on February 15, 2006). Under FDIRA, the SAIF and the FDIC’s Bank Insurance Fund (“BIF”) will be merged into the new Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”). In addition, while general coverage remains at $100,000, beginning April 1, 2010 and the first day of each subsequent five year period the coverage is subject to increases for inflation, and FDRIA increases the deposit insurance coverage for individual retirement accounts and certain other employee benefit plan accounts to $250,000, subject to increases for inflation, and provides pass-through coverage for employee benefit plans. FDRIA also authorizes the FDIC the set deposit insurance premium assessments for depository institutions in amounts the FDIC determines to be necessary or appropriate, taking into consideration certain factors, including the estimated operating expenses of the DIF, the estimated case resolution expenses and income of the DIF, the projected effects on the capital and earnings of depository institutions, the risk factors taken into consideration under the risk-based assessment system and any other factors deemed by the FDIC to be appropriate. Further, FDRIA establishes the DIF’s reserve ratio to range from 1.15% to 1.50%, the ratio to be determined annually by the FDIC regulations, and requires the FDIC to declare dividends payable to depository institutions equal to 100% of the amount of the reserve in excess of 1.50% and 50% of the amount of the reserve between 1.35% and 1.50%. Other than the merger of the SAIF and the BIF, which will be effective July 1, 2006, the foregoing and other provisions of FDRIA will be effective upon the FDIC prescribing final regulations implementing the provisions, which shall not be later than 270 after enactment of FDRIA.

Additional proposals to change the laws governing the financial institutions industry may be introduced in the United States Congress and in state legislatures, and the various banking agencies often modify existing regulations or adopt new regulations. It cannot be determined what impact future legislation or regulations will have on the financial institutions industry generally or on the Company and the Bank.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

An investment in shares of the Company’s common stock involves certain risks. The following risks and other information in this report are incorporated in this report by reference, including the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” incorporated by reference in this report, should be carefully considered in the evaluation of the Company before investing in shares of its common stock. These risks are not the only ones facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties that management is not aware of or focused on may also adversely affect the Company’s business and operation. This report is qualified in its entirety by all these risk factors.

The market price of the Company’s common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, including:

•  Changes in securities analysts’ estimates of financial performance

•  Volatility of stock market prices and volumes

•  Rumors or erroneous information

•  Changes in market valuations of similar companies

•  Changes in interest rates

•  New developments in the banking industry

•  Variations in quarterly or annual operating results

•  New litigation or changes in existing litigation

•  Regulatory actions

•  Changes in accounting policies or procedures as may be required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other regulatory agencies

30

Geographical Risk

      The Company’s main markets are in Greene and Christian counties in southwest Missouri. Since the Company does not have significant presence in other parts of the country, a prolonged economic downturn in these markets could negatively impact the Company.

Industry Risk

      The Company operates in the financial services industry, a rapidly changing environment having numerous competitors including other banks and insurance companies, securities dealers, brokers, trust and investment companies and mortgage bankers. The pace of consolidation among financial service providers is accelerating and there are many new changes in technology, product offerings and regulation.

The Company must continue to make investments in its products and delivery systems to stay competitive with the industry as a whole or its financial performance may suffer.

Regulatory Risk

      The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to extensive state and federal regulation, supervision and legislation that govern nearly every aspect of its operations. Changes to these laws could affect the Company’s ability to deliver or expand its services and diminish the value of its business.

Interest Rate Risk

      The Company’s net interest income is the largest source of overall revenue to the Company and is mainly based on the difference between interest earned on loans and investment securities, and the interest paid on deposits and other borrowings. Interest rates are beyond the Company’s control, and they fluctuate in response to general economic conditions and the policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies, in particular, the Federal Reserve Board. Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, will influence the origination of loans, the purchase of investments, the generation of deposits, and the rates received on loans and investment securities and paid on deposits.

Lending Risk

      There are inherent risks associated with the Company’s lending activities. Changes in economic conditions and changes in interest rates among other things could impact borrowers’ capabilities to repay the Company outstanding loans. For a complete discussion of the risk elements of the Company’s loan portfolio, please refer to page 7.

Litigation Risk

      From time to time, the Company is subject to claims and litigation from customers and other individuals. Whether such claims and legal action are founded or unfounded, if such claims and legal actions are not resolved in a manner favorable to the Company, they may result in significant financial liability and/or adversely affect the market perception of the Company and its products and services. Any financial liability or reputation damage could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial performance.

Description of Stock Plans Not Approved by Stockholders

2000 Stock Compensation Plan. During the year ended June 30, 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 for a term of ten years. A committee of the Bank’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) administers this plan and the 2001 SCP (discussed below). Stock options awarded under the plan are considered non-qualified for federal income tax purposes. Officers, directors and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries are eligible under the plan. Stock awards and stock options vest at the rate of 20% per year over a five year period and become fully vested in the event of a “change in control” as defined in the plan. In addition, the price of the stock options may not be less than the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, and the stock options expire no later than ten years from the date of grant. Under the stock award component of this plan, the Committee awarded 7,125 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock. As of December 31, 2005, there are no restricted shares in this plan that are not vested. There have been 17,875 options granted underthis plan at an exercise price of $10.50 per share. The maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock permitted to be awarded under this plan (25,000) have been awarded. If, however, a previously issued award expires, becomes unexercisable, or is forfeited prior to its exercise, then new awards may be granted under the plan for the number of shares which were subject to such expired or forfeited awards.

2001 Stock Compensation Plan. During the year ended June 30, 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 for a term of ten years. Stock options awarded under the plan are considered non-qualified for federal income tax purposes. Officers, directors and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries are eligible under the plan. Stock awards and stock options vest at the rate of 20% per year over a five year period and become fully vested in the event of a “change in control” as defined in the plan. In addition, the price of the stock options may not be less than the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, and the stock options expire no later than ten years from the date of grant. Under the stock award component of this plan, the Committee awarded 10,239 restrictedshares of the Company’s common stock. As of December 31, 2005, 2,047 of the shares in this plan are not vested. No options have been granted under this plan. The maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock permitted to be awarded under this plan is 25,000 shares. Previously issued awards which expire, become unexercisable, or are forfeited prior to their exercise may be granted as new awards for the number of shares which were subject to such expired or forfeited awards.

2003 Stock Option Agreement. During the period ended December 31, 2003, the independent directors of the Company authorized the issuance of 5,000 stock options as an employment inducement to a new officer of the Bank pursuant to an individual stock option agreement.
