EXPLANATORY NOTE


This Amendment No. 5 (“Amendment No. 5”) amends and supplements the information set forth in the Statement on Schedule 13D (the “Schedule”) previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on behalf of FJ Capital Long/Short Equity Fund LLC and Martin S. Friedman (collectively the “Reporting Persons”) on November 5, 2008, as amended by a Statement on Schedule 13D filed on behalf of the Reporting Persons, Donald C. Scott, Riggs Qualified Partners, LLC and Philip J. Timyan (collectively with the Reporting Persons, the “Joint Filing Reporting Persons”), with the SEC on February 23, 2009 (the “Joint Filing Schedule”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 (the “Joint Filing Amendment”) thereto as filed with the SEC on April 7, 2009, as amended by Amendment No. 3 (“Amendment No. 3”) as filed with the SEC on July 20, 2009, as amended by Amendment No. 4 (“Amendment No. 4”) as filed with the SEC on August 11, 2009, with respect to the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) of GS Financial Corp. (the “Company”). This Amendment No. 5 speaks only as of its date. The Schedule, as amended by Amendment No. 1, the Joint Filing Schedule, the Joint Filing Amendment, Amendment No. 3 and Amendment No. 4, is further amended only to the extent set forth herein.


Item 4. Purpose of Transaction


Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:


On September 21, 2009, the Reporting Persons entered into a shareholders agreement (the “September Agreement”) with the Company and Guaranty Savings Bank (the “Bank”), which supersedes the shareholders agreement dated April 3, 2009 (the “April Agreement”) among the Reporting Persons, the Company, the Bank, Riggs Qualified Partners, LLC (“Riggs”) and Philip J. Timyan (“Timyan”). Each of the parties to the April Agreement have acknowledged its termination and released one another from all obligations under the April Agreement. As a result, the Reporting Persons believe they have addressed the matters raised by the Office of Thrift Supervision, which matters were previously reported in Amendment No. 3 and Amendment No. 4. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons do not believe there is any further basis for them to be deemed to be part of a group with Riggs and Timyan.


Pursuant to the terms of the September Agreement, the Company and the Bank may appoint Friedman to a class of directors of the Company for a term expiring in 2011; provided however, that prior to such appointment, Friedman must certify that he has satisfied all regulatory conditions or requirements imposed by the Office of Thrift Supervision. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the September Agreement, the Reporting Persons, among other things, agreed to vote all of their shares of common stock of the Company in favor of Company nominees to the board of directors and proposals submitted to the Company’s shareholders which have been approved by the Company’s board of directors; and will not propose or seek to effect a merger or sale of the Company, propose or induce others to propose any nominee for election as a director to the Company’s Board (other than with respect to Friedman), propose or induce others to submit any shareholder proposal to the Comp any, initiate litigation against the Company, solicit proxies in opposition to any recommendations or proposals of the Company’s Board of Directors, or seek to exercise any control or influence over the Company’s management (provided, however, that Friedman, in his capacity as a director of the Company and the Bank, shall not be restricted or limited in his ability to take action to fulfill his fiduciary duties as a director). The Reporting Persons also have agreed not to make any statements that reflect negatively on the Company or the Bank. The Company also has a right of first refusal in certain circumstances in connection with the sale of common stock by the Reporting Persons. The September Agreement shall terminate as of June 30, 2011, or if earlier, the date on which any of the following occurs: (i) the Company ceases to exist by reason of merger, sale of assets, liquidation, exchange of shares, or otherwise, or (ii) Friedman ceases to be a member of the Company’s or the Bank’s Boar d of Directors other than by reason of his personal resignation. If Friedman voluntarily resigns as a director of the Company and/or the Bank or voluntarily takes any other action resulting in him no longer being a director of the Company and/or the Bank, then the September Agreement shall continue to remain in effect for its remaining term. The September Agreement is included as an exhibit hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
