GUARANTY FEDERAL BANCSHARES, INC.
ANNOUNCES REVISED PRELIMINARY 2010 FINANCIAL RESULTS

SPRINGFIELD, MO – (March 10, 2011) – Guaranty Federal Bancshares, Inc., (NASDAQ:GFED), the holding company (the “Company”) for Guaranty Bank (the “Bank”), today announces the following revised preliminary results for its year ended December 31, 2010 to reflect an increase in its allowance for loan losses.

Subsequent to the Company’s earnings release on January 21, 2011, as a result of continuing analysis of a certain loan relationship, new information was obtained regarding the valuation of specific collateral securing the credit at December 31, 2010. The collateral underlying the credit is comprised of a multi-family condominium project in the Bank’s market area.  Based on additional analysis of a recent appraisal received subsequent to December 31, 2010 and further discussions with the borrower and related builders, the Bank determined that events contributing to an additional loss impairment occurred during 2010.  Management concluded that an additional provision for loan loss of $900,000 during the fourth quarter is necessary to account for the anticipated loss associated with this impaired commercial loan.  This provision is in addition to the $1,550,000 and $4,300,000 the Company had already expensed for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2010, respectively.

Revised net income and net income per diluted common share for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $1,131,000 and $0.00 per diluted common share, respectively.  This compares to previous released net income and net income per diluted common share for the year of $1,623,000 and $0.19 per diluted common share, respectively.

Revised net loss and loss per diluted common share for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 were ($360,000) and ($0.24) per diluted common share.  This compares to previous released net income and net loss per diluted common share for the quarter of $132,000 and ($0.06) per diluted common share, respectively.
