DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES


This Post-Effective Amendment (the “Amendment”) relates to the following Registration Statements on Form S-8 (collectively, the “Registration Statements”).

Registration Statement 333-70905 registering 343,850 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of GS Financial Corp. (the “Company”) for the Company’s 1997 Stock Option Plan; and

Registration Statement 333-139530 registering 50,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company for the Guaranty Savings Bank 401(k) Plan.

On July 15, 2011, pursuant to the amended and restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of March 30, 2011, by and among the Company, and Home Bancorp, Inc. (“Home”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Home merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), and immediately thereafter, the Company, as the surviving corporation in the Merger, was merged with and liquidated into Home. As a result of the Merger, each outstanding share of Common Stock (other than shares to be cancelled in accordance with the Merger Agreement) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive $21.00 per share in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding tax.

As a result of the Merger, the Company has terminated any offering of the Company’s securities pursuant to any registration statement. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in each of the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that had been registered for issuance that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from registration all of such securities of the Company registered but unsold under the Registration Statements, if any.
