Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
At their regular monthly meeting on October 17, 1997, the Board of Directors
of Eagle BancGroup, Inc. (the 'Company') accepted a proposal from McGladrey &
Pullen, LLP ('McGladrey') to be the certifying accountant for the Company.
McGladrey will audit the Company's financial statements beginning with the
year ended December 31, 1997.
Ernst & Young LLP ('Ernst'), was dismissed as the Company's certifying
accountant as a result of the decision by the Board of Directors. The
engagement of McGladrey completed a formal review process conducted by the
Company regarding audit and tax work.
Ernst issued unqualified opinions regarding the December 31, 1996 and 1995
financial statements prepared by the Company. At no time in either year or
in the interim periods of 1997 were there any disagreements regarding any
matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure
or auditing scope or procedure between the Company and Ernst. Ernst provided
a letter of agreement with the preceding statements that is included with
this report as Exhibit I.
