Item 2.
  Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations


                            GENERAL

The following is a discussion of the Company's financial condition at
September 30, 1996 compared to December 31, 1995, and the results of its
operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996
compared to the comparable periods ended September 30, 1995.  This
discussion of the Company's financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with the Company's unaudited
consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report and
the Company's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

Eagle Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") is a one-bank holding company
providing a full range of banking services to individual and corporate
customers in Bulloch County and surrounding areas through its wholly-
owned bank subsidiary, Eagle Bank and Trust (the"Bank").  The Bank
operates under a state charter granted by the Georgia Department of
Banking and Finance (the "GDBF") and serves its customers from its
main banking facility in Statesboro, Georgia.  The Company and the Bank
were formed in September, 1989 and were a developmental stage enterprise
until the Bank commenced operations on February 20, 1991.

                      FINANCIAL CONDITION

During the first nine months of 1996, total assets increased $4,062,183
or approximately 7.7% as compared to amounts at December 31, 1995.  This
increase was primarily a result of the bank's deposit base increasing by
approximately $4,063,225.  The Bank's asset mix changed by a decrease in
federal funds sold of $1,240,000 while loans increased by $3,640,714 and
investments increased by $1,812,013.  This represents an increase of
approximately 9.72% in loans and an increase of approximately 20.0% in
investments.

The following is a summary of deposits:

</TABLE>






The Company's rate of growth was approximately 9.05% for the nine months
of 1996 as compared to 9.0% for the same period in 1995.  Factors
expected to contribute to a continuation in the Company's growth rate
include:

     1)  the current loan and deposit rate environment in the local
         area and the bank's community activities,
     2)  a relatively stable economy in the local area, and
     3)  management's emphasis on profitability.

The Company believes it can achieve growth for 1996 in the 10% range.

            LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

Liquidity management involves the matching of cash flow requirements of
customers, those of depositors withdrawing or depositing funds and
borrowers needing loans, and the ability of the Company to meet those
requirements.  Management monitors and maintains appropriate levels of
assets and liabilities so maturities of assets are such that adequate
funds are provided to meet estimated customer withdrawals and loan
fundings.

The Company's liquidity position depends primarily upon the liquidity of
its assets relative to its needs to respond to short-term demand for
funds caused by withdrawals from deposit accounts and loan funding
commitments.  Primary sources of liquidity are scheduled payments on the
Company's loans and interest on and maturities of its investments.  The
Company may also utilize its cash and due from banks, federal funds sold
and investment securities available for sale to meet liquidity
requirements.  At September 30, 1996, the Company's cash and due from
banks equalled $2,123,249, its investment securities available for sale
equalled $7,055,443, and its federal funds sold equalled $20,000.  All
of these assets could be converted to cash on short notice.

Subject to certain conditions, the Company also has the ability, on a
short-term basis, to purchase federal funds from other financial
institutions.  Presently, the Company has made arrangements with certain
banks for short-term unsecured advances up to $3,500,000 and with the
Federal Home Loan Bank, Atlanta, Ga. for a secured credit line of
$5,000,000. During the first nine months of 1996, the Company had
outstanding borrowings of $563,000 on a long-term basis from the Federal
Home Loan Bank to match loan funding rates and maturities with borrowing
rates and maturities.

The Company's liquidity position, calculated as cash and due from banks,
federal funds sold, and investment securities not pledged divided by
deposits, equalled 26.37% as of September 30, 1996 compared to 21.00% as
of December 31, 1995.  The Company's optimum liquidity ratio is 30% with
a minimum acceptable ratio of 20%.  Management monitors liquidity daily
and is striving to maintain its liquidity ratio between 20% and 30%.

The Company continues to monitor the percentage of certificates of
deposit of $100 thousand and over (jumbo deposits) to total deposits.
At September 30, 1996 jumbo deposits equalled 18.64% of total deposits
of $48,945,914.  At September 30, 1995 jumbo deposits equaled 13.46% of
total deposits of $44,394,540.  Jumbo deposits are primarily with
individuals who reside in the Company's primary service area and to whom
the Bank has had consistent deposit relations since inception.  The
current year's increase in the jumbo deposit balances are funds on
deposit from various local governmental agencies and are secured by
pledged collateral having a fair market value equal to at least 110% of
those deposits.

The relative interest rate sensitivity of the Company's assets and
liabilities indicates the extent to which the Company's net interest
income may be affected by interest rate movements.  The Company's
ability to reprice assets and liabilities in the same dollar amounts and
at the same time minimizes interest rate risks.  One method of measuring
the impact of interest rate changes on net income is to measure, in a
number of time frames, the interest sensitivity gap, by subtracting
interest-sensitive liabilities from interest-sensitive assets, as
                            Page 9

<PAGE>

reflected in the following table.  Such interest sensitivity gap
represents the risk, or opportunity, in repricing.  If more assets than
liabilities are repriced at a given time in a rising rate environment,
net interest income improves; in a declining rate environment, net
interest income deteriorates.  Conversely, if more liabilities than
assets are repriced while interest rates are rising, net interest income
deteriorates; if interest rates are falling, net interest income
improves.  The Company's strategy in minimizing interest rate risk is to
minimize the impact of short term interest rate movements on its net
interest income while managing its middle and long-term interest
sensitivity gap in light of overall economic trends in interest rates.
The following table illustrates the relative sensitivity of the Company
to changing interest rates as of September 30, 1996.

                       CAPITAL RESOURCES



The Company continues to maintain a satisfactory level of capital as
measured by its total shareholders' equity to total assets ratio of
11.74% at September 30, 1996 as compared to 11.75% at December 31, 1995.
Management anticipates the existing capital levels will be adequate to
sustain the Company's anticipated growth for the foreseeable future.

The Company in October, 1995 completed construction of its first branch
facility which is located at 726 Northside Drive, Statesboro, Georgia.
The Company's existing investment in the land for the branch facility of
$217,000, the Company's capital expenditures related to the new branch
facility were $613,000 for a total investment in the new branch of
$830,000.  The Company completed the construction and installation of a
new ATM drive-up facility at 335 South Main Street, Statesboro, Ga. in
late September, 1996 at a cost of approximately $60,000.  The Company
does not expect to make any other significant capital expenditures for
the remainder of 1996.

The Company is not aware of any recommendations by regulatory
authorities which, if implemented would have a significant impact on its
liquidity, capital resources, or operations except for the recent FDIC
reduction in insurance premiums on deposits which has had a favorable
impact on the Company's results of operations.

The Georgia Department of Banking and Finance requires that State-
chartered banks in Georgia maintain a ratio of primary capital, as
defined, to total assets of not less than 6%.  The Company intends to
maintain a satisfactory level of capital necessary to satisfy regulatory
requirements and to accommodate expected growth patterns.

                    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Interest Income

The Company's net interest income, the difference between interest
income on interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-
bearing liabilities, is the Company's principal source of income.
Interest-earning assets for the Company include loans, federal funds
sold and investment securities.  The Company's interest-bearing
liabilities consist of deposits, secured and/or unsecured borrowings.

Net interest income for the three month period ended September 30, 1996
equalled $687,482 or 15.06% more than the three month period ended
September 30, 1995.  The average yield earned on interest-earning assets
was 9.69% for the three month period ended September 30, 1996 compared
to 9.69% for the similar period ended September, 30, 1995 and the
average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 5.12% for the
three month period ended September 30, 1996 compared to 4.90% for the
comparable period ended September 30, 1995.  The Company's net interest
margin for the three month period ended September 30, 1996 was 4.57%
compared to 4.79% for the three month period ended September 30, 1995.

Net interest income for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996
equalled $1,955,918 or 12.12% more than the nine month period ending
September 30, 1995.  The average yield earned on interest-earning assets
was 9.81% for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 compared to
9.33% for the similar period ended September 30, 1995 and the average
rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 5.17% for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1996 compared to 4.50% for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1995.  The Company's net interest margin for
the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 was 4.64% compared to
4.38% for the period ended September 30, 1995.

Although management continues to explore methods to improve its net
interest margin, there are no assurances that current levels can be
maintained due to market interest rate fluctuations and the very
competitive local banking environment.

Provision for Possible Loan losses

The Company provides for possible loan losses based upon information
available at the end of each period.  By evaluating the adequacy of the
allowance for possible loan losses at the end of each period, management
maintains the allowance for possible loan losses at a level adequate to
provide for losses that can reasonably be anticipated.  The level of
allowance for possible loan losses is based on management's periodic
loan-by-loan evaluation and other analysis of its loan portfolio, as
well as its assessment of prevailing and anticipated economic conditions
in Southeast Georgia.

A substantial portion of the Company's loans are secured by real estate,
including real estate and other collateral in Bulloch County and
surrounding counties.   Accordingly, the ultimate collectibility of a
substantial portion of the Company's loan portfolio is susceptible to
changes in economic conditions in these market areas.





                            Page 13

<PAGE>


The allowance for possible loan losses approximated 1.50% of outstanding
loans at September 30, 1996 as compared to 1.52% at December 31, 1995
and 1.58% at September 30, 1995.  The allowance increased to $618,027 at
September 30, 1996 from $570,000 at December 31, 1995 and $600,000 at
September 30, 1995.  The change in the allowance relates primarily to
the change in the loan portfolio and to related credit risks.  The
provision for the first nine months of 1996 was $58,206 compared to
$75,403 for the first nine months of 1995.  This provision is a result
of evaluation as describe above of the loan portfolio during the first
nine months of 1996 as compared to the first nine months of 1995 and the
company's continued favorable charge-off experience in 1996.  Net
charge-offs for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 equalled
$10,180 compared to net charge-offs of $2,903 for the comparable period
in 1995.

loans, and allowance for possible loan losses data as of September 30,

losses is adequate to cover potential losses in the loan portfolio.


Noninterest Income

Noninterest income, net of securities losses, primarily comprised of
service charges on deposit accounts, for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1996 was approximately $295,183 compared to $280,357 for
the comparable period in 1995.  Service charges on deposit accounts
includes fees on deposit accounts, fees for returned checks and fees for
overdraft accounts.  Noninterest income from the three months ended

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense is composed primarily of salaries and employee
benefits, net occupancy and equipment expense, and noninterest expense
as shown below.  The Company had noninterest expenses of $ 1,643,566 for
the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 compared to $ 1,400,167
for the comparable period of 1995.  The Company experienced noninterest
expense of approximately $533,538 for the three months ended September
30, 1996 compared to $459,998 for the three months ended September 30,
1995.  Other operating expenses increased approximately 17.38% and
15.99% for the nine month and three month periods ended September 30,
1996 as compared to the same periods ended September 30, 1995.  A
substantial percentage of this increase relates directly to the opening
of the full service branch facility in October, 1995, which required the
addition of approximately 5 full-time equivalent employees as well as
increased occupancy and equipment expense.  Substantial components of
noninterest expenses are shown below:

</TABLE>

Data processing expense increased due to the bank out-sourceing its item
processing.  Regulatory assessments decreased due to the refund by the
FDIC.  Directors' fees were approved in January, 1995 for the first time
since inception. Unlike many other financial institutions, the Company
was not affected by the FDIC special assessment on SAIF-insured deposits
in the third quarter of 1996 because all of the Company's deposits are
in the FDIC Bank Insurance Fund (BIF).

Income Taxes

The Company has recorded income tax expense of $206,777 for the first
nine months of 1996 representing an effect tax rate of approximately
37.6% which compares to an effective tax rate of 32.7% recorded for the
comparable period of 1995.  The Company recorded for the three months
ended September 30, 1996 income tax expense of $84,103 as compared to
$41,271 for the same period ended September 30, 1995.  The increase in
the Company's effective income tax rate from the 1995 period to the 1996
period is attributable to the decline in the valuation allowance for
deferred income tax assets recorded during previous years.

Net Income

The Company's net income was $135,468 for the three month period ended
September 30, 1996 compared to $143,752 for the like period ended
September 30, 1995 representing an decrease of 5.76%.  The Company's net
income per share was $0.15 per share for the three month period ended
September 30, 1996 compared to $0.17 per share for the comparable period
for 1995.

The Company's net income was $342,552 or $0.39 per share for the first
nine months of 1996 compared to $369,450 or $0.43 per share for the
comparable period for 1995 or a decrease of approximately 7.28% and
9.30% respectively.


Inflation

Inflation impacts the growth in total assets in the banking industry and
causes a need to increase equity capital at higher than normal rates in
order to meet regulatory capital requirements.  The Company copes with
the effects of inflation through effectively managing its interest rate
sensitivity gap position and by periodically reviewing and adjusting the
pricing of services to consider current costs.
