period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 
1,000,698 and 1,094,920 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 
1998, respectively.  Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing 
net income for the period by the weighted average number of common 
shares and common share equivalents outstanding of 1,014,807 and 
1,107,838 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, 
respectively.  Common share equivalents assume exercise of stock 
instruments and use of proceeds to purchase treasury stock at the 
average market price for the period.

The Company has paid dividends at the rate of $.10 per share in each of 
the last two quarters.

Eagle BancGroup, Inc.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL:  Eagle BancGroup, Inc. (the Company) recorded net income of 
$200,000, or $.20 per share (basic), in the three months ended March 31, 
1999 compared to $201,000, or $.18 per share (basic) in the same period 
in 1998.  Increased net interest income was offset by increased non-
interest expense in the first quarter of 1999 compared to the first 
quarter of 1998 resulting in virtually no change in net income in the 
two periods.

NET INTEREST INCOME:  Net interest income increased to $1,187,000 in the 
first quarter of 1999 from $1,036,000 in the first quarter of 1998.  
Interest income increased to $3,157,000 from $3,093,000 and interest 
expense decreased to $1,970,000 from $2,057,000 in the first quarter of 
1999 compared to the same period in 1998.  The net interest margin 
increased to 2.72% from 2.45% and the interest rate spread increased to 
2.32% from 1.93% in the first quarter of 1999 from the same period in 
1998.  The increase in core earnings was the result of the Company's 
ability to decrease the cost of funds while maintaining the earning 
asset yield even as interest rates in general declined.

The earning asset yield declined slightly to 7.24% in the first quarter 
of 1999 from 7.31% in the first quarter of 1998.  Average earning assets 
increased to $176,927,000 in the first quarter of 1999 from $171,648,000 
in the same period in 1998.  The decline in the earning asset yield 
relates to both the general decline in interest rates as well as changes 
in the earning asset mix.  Average loans decreased $6,033,000 while 
average investments increased $11,312,000 comparing the first quarter of 
1999 to the first quarter of 1998.  The change in the earning asset mix 
was due to the volume of residential mortgage loans refinanced and 
subsequently sold with the sale proceeds temporarily reinvested in 
short-term products.  Average residential mortgage loans decreased over 
$24,000,000 in the first quarter of 1999 from the first quarter of 1998 
while commercial and commercial real estate loans increased over 
$18,000,000 comparing the same periods.  The yield on average loans 
increased from 7.89% in the first quarter of 1998 to 8.13% in the first 
quarter of 1999 due to the increased proportion of higher yielding 
commercial and commercial real estate loans.

The yield on average investments decreased to 5.53% in the first quarter 
of 1999 from 5.87% in the first quarter of 1998 due to the general 
decline in interest rates and increased overnight and short-term 
investments, the average balance of which increased almost $4,884,000 in 
the first quarter of 1999 from the same period in 1998.  Average 
investment securities, primarily mortgage-backed pools, increased 
$6,479,000 during the same periods due to an increase in deposit 
balances.

The cost of funds decreased to 4.92% in the first quarter of 1999 from 
5.38% in the first quarter of 1998 due to changes in the deposit mix, a 
restructuring of the borrowed funds portfolio in 1998 and the general 
decline in interest rates.  Average deposits increased $5,979,000 in the 
first quarter of 1999 from the same period in 1998 due to demand and 
savings deposits, the average balance of which increased $8,041,000 
during the same periods.  The increase in demand and savings deposits 
relates in part to the opening of the Company's new branch office in 
Lexington, Illinois late in 1998.  The cost of average demand and 
savings deposits decreased to 2.71% in the first quarter of 1999 from 
3.11% in the same period in 1998.  The cost of average time deposits 
also decreased from 5.91% in the first quarter of 1998 to 5.62% in the 
same period in 1999.  Overall, the cost of average total deposits 
decreased to 4.88% in the first quarter of 1999 from 5.33% in the same 
period in 1998 due to the decreased cost of both demand and savings 
deposits and time deposits and the increased ratio of demand and savings 
deposits to total deposits.

Average borrowed funds increased to $25,000,000 in the first quarter of 
1999 from $23,623,000 in the same period in 1998 and the cost decreased 
to 5.13% from 5.63% during the same periods.  The decrease in the cost 
of average borrowed funds contributed to the decline in the overall cost 
of funds.  Total average interest bearing liabilities increased to 
$162,496,000 in the first three months of 1999 from $155,140,000 in the 
first three months of 1998.

All loans contractually past due 90 days or more at March 31, 1999 were 
classified as non-accrual.  Interest income on these loans is recognized 
only upon cash receipt and no interest income is accrued.  At March 31, 
1999, loans totaling $130,000 were classified as non-accrual.  No 
interest income has been recognized on these loans in 1999.  Interest 
income of $4,000 would have accrued had the loans not been past due 90 
days or more.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSS:  The provision for loan loss was $60,000 in the 
first quarter of both 1999 and 1998.  The provision is determined as the 
amount necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level 
deemed adequate to absorb estimated future losses inherent in the loan 
portfolio.  In the first three months of 1999, loans totaling $61,000 
were charged against the allowance for loan losses and $4,000 was 
credited to the allowance due to recoveries of loans previously charged 
off.  At March 31, 1999, the allowance for loan losses was $1,018,000, 
or  .88% of total loans, compared to $1,015,000, or .86% of total loans, 
at December 31, 1998.

NON-INTEREST INCOME:  Non-interest income increased to $343,000 in the 
first three months of 1999 from $319,000 in the first three months of 
1998 due to increased fees on deposit accounts and loans.  Gains on 
sales of residential mortgage loans increased to $241,000 in the first 
quarter of 1999 from $237,000 in the first quarter of 1998 even though 
proceeds from loan sales decreased from $19,691,000 in the first quarter 
of 1998 to $17,854,000 in the first quarter of 1999.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE:  Non-interest expense increased to $1,162,000 in 
the three months ended March 31, 1999 from $984,000 in the same period 
in 1998 due primarily to increased salaries and employee benefits, 
occupancy expense and legal expense.  Salaries and employee benefits 
expense increased $62,000 in the first quarter of 1999 from the same 
period in 1998 due to increased mortgage officer commission expense, 
increased benefit plan expense due to the Company's increased stock 
price and other normal increases in employee costs.  Occupancy expense 
increased $33,000 in the first quarter of 1999 from the same period in 
1998 due to increased depreciation expense and building and equipment 
maintenance expenses related to the Lexington branch opening and recent 
hardware and software upgrades.  Legal expense increased $37,000 in the 
first quarter of 1999 from the same period in 1998 due primarily to non-
recurring corporate legal fees.

In addition, data processing expense increased $18,000 in the first 
quarter of 1999 from the first quarter of 1998 related to the new branch 
opening, Y2K testing and the increased number of accounts processed.  
Supplies and postage expense increased a combined $20,000 in the first 
quarter of 1999 from the first quarter of 1998 due to a special Y2K 
customer mailing and the new branch opening.  As a percentage of average 
assets, non-interest expense was 2.65% in the first quarter of 1999 
compared to 2.54% in the first quarter of 1998.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE:  The provision for income taxes was $108,000 in the 
first quarter of 1999 compared to $110,000 in the same period in 1998.  
The effective tax rate was 35% in both periods.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets increased to $182,947,000 at March 31, 1999 from 
$180,101,000 at December 31, 1998 due to an increase in deposits, which 
funded and increase in mortgage backed securities.  Total mortgage 
backed securities increased $4,062,000 to $41,306,000 at March 31, 1999 
from December 31, 1998 due to both the increase in deposits and funds 
from residential mortgage loan sales.  Net loans decreased $1,567,000 as 
decreased residential mortgage loan balances were partially offset by 
increased commercial and commercial real estate loans.  Deposits, 
primarily demand and savings deposits, increased $3,018,000 a March 31, 
1999 from December 31, 1998 due in part to the new branch opening.

Stockholders' equity decreased to $19,534,000, or 10.7% of total assets, 
at March 31, 1999 from $19,697,000, or 10.9% of total assets, at 
December 31, 1998.  The decrease relates to the purchase of additional 
shares for the treasury, payment of the Company's second dividend and a 
decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income partially offset by 
first quarter net income.  Book value per share increased  to $18.30 at 
March 31, 1999 from $18.24 at December 31, 1998.

Savings institutions are required to maintain minimum capital levels 
measured by the following ratios:  Risk-based capital to risk weighted 
assets ratio of 8.00%; Core capital to tangible assets ratio of 3.00%: 
and Tangible core capital to adjusted tangible assets ratio of 1.50%.  
The Company's institution subsidiary had ratios of 16.56%, 9.55% and 
9.55%, respectively, at March 31, 1999 compared to 16.04%, 9.59% and 
9.59%, respectively, at December 31, 1998.

Savings institutions are also required to maintain a minimum 4% 
liquidity ratio measured as the ratio of cash, cash equivalents, short-
term investments and certain long-term investments to deposits and 
certain borrowed funds.  At March 31, 1999 the Company's savings 
institution subsidiary had a liquidity ratio of 14.13% compared to 
14.11% at December 31, 1998.

At March 31, 1999, funds committed for loan originations and loans in 
process totaled $4,836,000 and unused lines of credit totaled 
$8,495,000.  Cash and cash equivalents, scheduled principal and interest 
payments on loans, mortgage backed and investment securities, new 
deposits and borrowed funds are sources of funds used to meet such 
commitments.  Funds are primarily invested in residential mortgage, 
commercial, commercial real estate and direct consumer loans and 
mortgage backed and investment securities.  Funds are also used for 
deposit interest payments, maturities and withdrawals.

YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE

The Company formulated its initial Y2K compliance plan in September 1997 
and has expanded, revised and updated the plan continually since that 
time.  The Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), the Company's primary 
regulator, continues to monitor the compliance effort via copies of plan 
updates and with two on-site inspections, the second of which was during 
the first quarter of 1999.  To date, the OTS has approved the Company's 
compliance plan and effort.

Specific Y2K compliance actions that occurred in the first quarter of 
1999 include: completion of the initial round of software compliance 
testing on the Company's third party data provider (conducted in 
accordance with the provider's predetermined testing schedule for all 
users);  continued follow-up contacts to monitor compliance status of 
third-party software vendors including installation of compliant 
software upgrades and testing of such systems as allowed and deemed 
necessary; distribution of a Y2K compliance disclosure to all of the 
Company's customers; continued development of a comprehensive 
contingency plan. 

The initial round of software compliance testing on the primary third-
party data provider was completed in January 1999.  A second round of 
testing began in February 1999.  Based on the Company's initial testing 
and the results from all other users, which were distributed to all 
users, the Company chose not to participate in the second round of 
testing.  Results from those users that did participate in the second 
round will be available to the Company when the testing is complete in 
the second quarter.

Direct costs related to the Y2K compliance effort incurred in the first 
quarter of 1999 include $5,000 paid to the primary data provider related 
to the software compliance testing and $5,000 for printing and 
distribution of the Y2K compliance disclosure to all customers.  
Additional direct expenses will be incurred in 1999.  The Company's 
third party network consultant may provide additional services at a cost 
not expected to exceed $25,000.  Compliance testing on third-party 
software providers will be conducted at a cost not expected to exceed 
$10,000.

The Company has also incurred indirect costs related to the Y2K 
compliance effort, primarily salaries and benefits for the employees 
involved with the testing and development of the contingency plan.  The 
Company estimates that approximately $20,000 of salary and benefit 
expense for the first quarter could be allocated to the Y2K compliance 
effort.  This amount does not represent additional expense, rather a 
reallocation of expense that would have been incurred even without the 
Y2K compliance effort.  With the completion of the software testing, a 
lesser amount could be allocated to the Y2K compliance effort in the 
second quarter of 1999.

In addition to the direct and indirect costs noted, the Company has also 
invested over $200,000 in the last seven quarters upgrading hardware 
following conversion to the current primary data provider in August 
1997.  Included in this total is additional hardware necessary to 
support new teller and platform software that the Company began using at 
one office in late 1998 and other offices in the first quarter of 1999.  
This migration was planned at the time of the initial conversion.  While 
these events have assisted in the Company's compliance effort, the costs 
involved are not associated with Y2K compliance because the data 
conversion was necessary due to contractual considerations.

The Y2K problem is extremely complex and potentially impacts any 
computer process.  The Company believes its Y2K compliance effort will 
be effective.  However, since the Company relies on so many third 
parties for various services, over which the Company has little or no 
control, no reasonable assurance can be given that the Company will not 
suffer a Y2K-related service interruption or incur potentially 
significant unanticipated expenditures that could impact the financial 
performance of the Company.

This analysis may contain certain forward-looking statements which are 
based on management's current expectations regarding economic, 
legislative and regulatory issues that may impact the Company's earnings 
in future periods.  Factors that could cause future results to vary 
materially from current management expectations include, but are not 
limited to, general economic conditions, changes in interest rates, 
deposit flows, real estate values or competition, changes in accounting 
principles, policies or guidelines, changes in legislation or regulation 
and other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technical 
factors affecting the Company's operations, pricing, products and 
services.


Eagle BancGroup, Inc.
Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in the 
Company's lending, investing, deposit-taking and borrowing activities.  
The varying levels of sensitivity to changes in market interest rates of 
the Company's interest-earning assets, primarily loans and investments, 
and interest-bearing liabilities, primarily deposits and borrowed funds, 
create market risk.  Evaluation of market risk is an integral component 
of interest rate risk management.

Interest rate risk arises from the impact of changes in interest rates 
on the Company's assets and liabilities.  Successful management of 
interest rate risk reduces the impact of such changes on the Company's 
operations.  Interest rate risk is managed through the evaluation of the 
interest rate risk inherent in certain assets and liabilities, and the 
determination of the appropriate risk level given the Company's business 
plan, operating environment and capital and liquidity requirements.  
Interest rate risk management guidelines are reviewed and approved 
annually by the Board of Directors.

In December 1998, the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") issued Thrift 
Bulletin #13a ("TB 13a") concerning market risk and interest rate risk 
management guidelines, primarily through the use of market value 
analysis.  The Company has incorporated the market value analysis 
approach to interest rate risk measurement in its interest rate risk 
policy.  In addition, interest rate risk is measured and evaluated by 
use of gap analysis and income simulation analysis.

The market value analysis utilized is produced by the OTS net portfolio 
value ("NPV") model.  Data provided by the Company's thrift subsidiary 
in various regulatory reports is the primary basis for the NPV model, 
which generates estimates of the amount of and changes in NPV over a 
range of interest rate change scenarios.  NPV is defined as the 
difference between incoming and outgoing cash flows from assets, 
liabilities and certain off-balance sheet contracts.  The NPV ratio is 
the NPV in a scenario divided by the present value of assets in the same 
scenario.

The guidelines established in the interest rate risk policy include 
maintaining a minimum 7% NPV ratio under any interest rate shock 
scenario.  At December 31, 1998, the NPV ratio ranged from 8.81% to 
10.16% under interest rate shocks ranging from +300 basis points to -300 
basis points.  The NPV analysis for March 31, 1999 has not been received 
from the OTS as of this date.

The OTS NPV model is the primary interest rate risk measurement but gap 
analysis is also used.  At March 31, 1999, the Company had a positive 
one year cumulative gap of $19,775,000 compared to $15,120,000 at 
December 31, 1998.  In general, a positive gap is preferable in periods 
when interest rates are expected to rise since more interest-earning 
assets will reprice at higher rates than interest-bearing liabilities.

Gap analysis does have limitations arising from both assumptions 
utilized in determining the repricing periods of certain assets and 
liabilities and the uncertainty as to the probable response of assets 
and liabilities to changes in interest rates.  While gap analysis is 
useful in analyzing the inter-relationship between the repricing of 
assets and liabilities, the interest sensitivity of the assets and 
liabilities is not measured.  Assumptions used to determine the 
repricing frequency of demand and savings deposits, which have no stated 
maturity date, are critical to the effectiveness of the gap calculation.  

 The OTS NPV model also has limitations due to the assumption that 
holdings of interest sensitive assets and liabilities will remain 
constant in each interest rate shock scenario.  In addition, actual 
changes in market interest rates may not result in the yield and cost 
changes assumed in the model.  As such, the NPV measurements on a 
specific date should be treated as an analysis of interest rate risk 
exposure on that date and should not be use to forecast the effect of 
changes in interest rates on the Company's results of operations.

The Company's interest rate risk strategies include emphasizing the 
origination of short-term (under 5 years) commercial, commercial real 
estate and direct consumer loans; selling all fixed-rate residential 
mortgage loans at origination; classifying all investment securities as 
available for sale; maintaining a portfolio of primarily adjustable-rate 
or short-term, fixed-rate investment securities; utilizing medium-term 
(five to ten year) FHLB advances as a funding alternative; emphasizing 
lower rate, less interest sensitive demand and savings deposits.

The Company's exposure to market risk is lessened by not holding or 
using any derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk.  In 
addition, the Company does not maintain a portfolio of trading account 
securities.  At March 31, 1999, the Company did have $4,186,000 in 
residential mortgage loans held for sale.  All loans comprising that 
amount were previously sold to various secondary market investors and 
were held for sale only due to the usual delay between the loan closing 
date and the date funding is received from the investor.  The market 
risk exposure on these loans was not significant.
