First Federal Savings 401(k) Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
The following description of the First Federal Savings 401(k) Plan (the
'Plan') provides only general information. Participants should refer to the
Summary Plan Description for a more complete description of the Plan's
provisions.
GENERAL
The Plan is a profit sharing plan with a cash or deferred arrangement
established in accordance with the requirements of Sections 401(a) and 401(k)
of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan is subject to the provisions of ERISA.
Substantially all employees of First Federal Savings are covered by the plan.
Donald L. Fernandes, Chairman of the Board and CEO of First Federal Savings,
is Trustee of the Plan.
ELIGIBILITY
Each employee of First Federal Savings is eligible to participate in the
Plan on the next January 1 or July 1 following or coinciding with the employee
attaining the age of twenty and one-half years and completing six months of
service. As of January 1, 1998, there were 49 employees eligible to
participate in the Plan with 40 employees actually participating.
CONTRIBUTIONS
Participants may elect to reduce pretax compensation from 1 to 15% and
have that amount contributed to the Plan. Rollover contributions from other
plans may also be made subject to approval of the Plan Administrator and to
compliance with IRS regulations. In addition, the Board of Directors of First
Federal Savings may elect to make matching and or discretionary contributions
to the Plan to eligible participants on the last day of the fiscal year. For
1997 and 1996, First Federal Savings matched 100% of the first $250 and 50% of
the next $1,500 of eligible participant contributions. Participants elect
their contribution percentage when initially eligible to participate and can
modify or terminate their contribution percentage as of the first day of each
calendar quarter thereafter.
PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS
Each participant's account is credited with the participant's
contributions, First Federal Savings' matching and discretionary contributions
and Plan earnings.
VESTING
Participants are at all times fully vested in their contributions and the
earnings thereon. Participants fully vest in employer contributions and
earnings thereon after six years of qualified service based on vesting 20%
after each of the second through sixth years of qualified service. A year of
qualified service is earned in each 12 month period in which the participant
completes at least 501 hours of service. Generally, vesting is accelerated
upon retirement or due to death or disability of the participant.
</PAGE>
<PAGE>
PLAN ADMINISTRATOR
In March, 1996, the Plan Administrator changed from IAA Trust Company to
First Mercantile Trust Company. All participant accounts were closed at IAA
Trust Company and transferred to First Mercantile Trust Company on March 11,
1996. Prior to the transfer, all participants had determined into which
investment options at First Mercantile Trust Company their account balance
would be placed.
INVESTMENT OPTIONS
Participants may elect to direct the investment of any or all of their
accounts under the Plan. Participants can invest in stock of Eagle BancGroup,
Inc., the holding company that owns First Federal Savings (up to 50% of their
account), and any combination of 16 mutual funds offered by First Mercantile
Trust Company. The fund numbers listed as part of the following brief fund

PAYMENT OF BENEFITS
Benefits payable to a participant include the sum of their salary
deferral, rollover contributions, vested share of employer contributions and
net earnings on the investment of such amounts through the date of valuation.
Benefits are payable to participants as a result of termination of employment,
death or under certain hardship conditions. Following termination of
employment or death, benefits can be paid in a lump sum, in two or more annual
installments, in a nontransferable annuity contract or rolled into another
qualified plan. If the vested portion of the Participant's account is less
than $3,500, payment is generally made in a lump sum. If the vested portion
of the Participant's Accounts exceeds $3,500, no distribution generally will
be made if the Participant has not attained age 65 unless the Participant
consents to an earlier distribution.
Benefits will be paid to the designated beneficiary in the event of a
Participant's death. If married, the Participant's spouse shall be the
beneficiary unless the spouse has agreed to another beneficiary.
Participants may be permitted to make a withdrawal of their contributions
and employer contributions, not including earnings on such funds, under
certain conditions, including payment of medical expenses, purchase of a
principal residence and payment of tuition and related fees for post secondary
education. Certain conditions must be met before such withdrawals and
participant contributions are suspended for twelve months following such
withdrawals.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The financial statements of the Plan have been prepared on the accrual
basis.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the plan administrator to make
estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and
disclosures. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates.

INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION
Shares in registered investment companies are carried at aggregate
current value with the difference between cost and current value reflected in
the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits as unrealized
appreciation or depreciation of investments. Market values of shares in
registered investment companies are based on the quoted net asset value
(redemption value) of the investment company at year end. Investment in Eagle
BancGroup, Inc. common stock is carried at quoted market prices.
WITHDRAWALS AND FORFEITURES
Participants who withdraw from the Plan forfeit any unvested amounts in
their accounts. Forfeiture amounts are allocated to all other participants in
addition to any amounts contributed by the Employer.
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Administrative expenses are generally paid by the Employer.
NOTE 3. INVESTMENTS
The Plan Administrator holds the Plan's investments and executes all of
the Plan's transactions related to all funds except the Eagle BancGroup, Inc.
common stock. Transactions related to Eagle BancGroup, Inc. common stock are
executed by PrimeVest Financial Services, Inc. ('PrimeVest') at the direction
of the Plan Trustee. PrimeVest maintains the current holdings of Eagle
BancGroup, Inc. common stock. Financial information with respect to
investments held at December 31, 1997 and 1996 was provided by First
Mercantile Trust Company and PrimeVest. The financial information presented
has not been audited by independent auditors. Investments that represent 5%
or more of the Plan's net assets are identified with an asterisk (*).
First Mercantile Trust Company continually monitors the performance of
the registered investment companies. As results warrant, holdings may be
moved from an underforming registered investment company to a new registered
investment company with the same primary investment strategy (i.e. government
bonds, growth stocks, etc.). In 1997, two such changes were made. Fund 7 was
changed from Hamilton, Allen and Assoc. to Colony Capital and Fund 15 was
changed from Provident Investment to Rittenhouse.

NOTE 4. INCOME TAX STATUS
The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that the Plan qualifies under
Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and is, therefore, not subject to
tax under present income tax laws. Once qualified, the Plan is required to
operate in conformity with the Internal Revenue Code to maintain its
qualification. Neither the Plan Administrator nor the Plan Trustee is aware
of any course of action or series of events that have occurred that might
adversely affect the qualified status of the Plan.
NOTE 5. TRANSACTIONS WITH PARTIES-IN-INTEREST
The Plan owned 3,052.50 shares of Eagle BancGroup, Inc. (parent of First
Federal Savings and Loan) common stock, with a fair market value of $57,616,
at December 31, 1997. Purchases of Eagle BancGroup, Inc. common stock have
been allowed in the Plan since 1996. Shares purchased in 1997 and 1996 were
65 and 2,990, respectively. In 1997, 2.50 shares were distributed and there
were no other sales or disposals of Eagle BancGroup, Inc. common stock by the
Plan in 1997 or 1996.
