Item 2.

Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations

                                    GENERAL

The following is a discussion of the Company's  financial  condition at June 30,
1997 compared to December 31, 1996,  and the results of its  operations  for the
three and six month  periods  ended June 30,  1997  compared  to the  comparable
periods  ended  June  30,  1996.  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  1996 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 two banking facilities in Statesboro, Georgia.


                              FINANCIAL CONDITION

During  the first  six  months of 1997,  total  assets  increased  $3,715,316
or approximately  6.1%  (12.2%  per annum) as  compared  to amounts at  
December  31, 1996.  This  increase  was a result of the bank's  deposit  base
increasing  by approximately  $2,164,365  and  borrowings  increase of
$1,753,500.  The Bank's asset mix changed  primarily by an increase in loans of
$5,643,046 or approximately 13.2% when compared to the December  31, 1996 
levels.  This increase in loans was  primarily  funded by the increase in
deposits  and borrowings.  The  following is a summary of the  Company's 
deposits  by type at June 30, 1997 and  December  31, 1996:

</TABLE>



FINANCIAL CONDITION (cont)

The  Company's  rate of growth of  approximately  6.1% (12.2% per annum) for the
first half of 1997 approximates  the 5.4%  (10.8% per  annum)  growth  that the
Company achieved for the first half of 1996. Factors expected to contribute to a
continuation of the Company's growth rate include:

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

The  Company  believes  it can  continue  to achieve  growth for 1997 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.






                                                      Page 8
<PAGE>

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 June 30, 1997, the Company's cash and due from
banks equaled $2,119,986, its investment securities available for sale equaled
$6,600,664.   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 $2,500,000 and with the Federal Home Loan Bank, Atlanta,  Ga. for
a secured  credit line of  $7,000,000.  During the first six months of 1997, the
Company had  outstanding  borrowings  of $1,518,750 of a short and  long-term 
basis from the Federal  Home Loan Bank to match loan  funding  rates and 
maturities  with loan borrowing rates and maturities.  Securities sold
under repurchase agreements are treated as financing activities and are carried
at the amounts at which the securities will be subsequently reacquired as
specified in the agreements, the amount at June 30, 1997 was $983,000.00.

The Company's liquidity position, calculated as cash and due from banks, federal
funds sold, and investment securities not pledged divided by deposits,  equaled
22.15% as of June 30,  1997  compared  to 28.54% as of June 30, 1996.  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 June 30, 1997
jumbo deposits equaled 20.67% of total deposits of $54,629,255. At December 31,
1996 jumbo deposits  equaled 19.67% of total deposits of  $52,464,860. 
A substantial portion  of  theses  jumbo  deposits  are with  individuals  who 
reside in the Company's primary service area who are either shareholders,
organizers, or directors of the Company and whom the Bank has had consistent
deposit relations since inception.

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
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 June 30,
1997.

                 LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY (cont)

Since all  interest  rates and  yields do not adjust at the same  velocity,  the
interest rate  sensitivity gap is only an indicator of the potential  effects of
interest rate changes on net interest income.

                                CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company continues to maintain a satisfactory level of capital as measured by
its total shareholders'  equity to total assets ratio of 10.15% at June 30, 1997
as compared to 10.31% at December 31, 1996. Management  anticipates the existing
capital levels will be adequate to sustain the Company's  anticipated growth for
the foreseeable future.

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.

The following tables compare the Company's and its  subsidiary's  capital ratios
to the  minimum  capital  ratios  required  to be  maintained  under  applicable
regulatory guidelines at June 30, 1997.

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.

Net  interest  income for the three month  period  ended June 30, 1997 equaled
$665,137  or 12.71%  more than the three  month  period  ending June 30, 1996 of
$590,078. The average yield earned on interest-earning assets decreased to 9.02%
for the three month period ended June 30, 1997 from 9.09% for the similar  three
month period ended June, 30, 1996 and the average rate paid on  interest-bearing
liabilities  decreased  to 4.95% for the three month  period ended June 30, 1997
from 5.22% for the  comparable period ended June 30, 1996.  The  Company's  net
interest  margin  for the  three  month  period  ended  June 30,  1997 was 4.73%
compared to 4.67% for the comparable period ended June 30, 1996.

Net  interest  income  for the six month  period  ended June 30,  1997  equalled
$1,286,033  or 15.16%  more than the six month  period  ending  June 30, 1996 of
$1,116,760.  The average yield earned on  interest-earning  assets  increased to
9.14% for the six month  period  ended June 30,  1997 from 8.70% for the similar
period  ended  June  30,  1996 and the  average  rate  paid on  interest-bearing
liabilities decreased to 4.84% for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 from
5.80% for the six month period ended June 30, 1996.  The  Company's net interest
margin for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 was 4.52%  compared to 4.01%
for the period ended June 30, 1996.

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.
                                                      Page 13
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.

The allowance for possible loan losses  approximated  1.39% of outstanding loans
at June 30, 1997 as compared to 1.50% at December 31, 1996. The  allowance 
increased  to $671,297 at June 30, 1997 from  $639,500 at December 31, 1996
The allowance relates primarily to the level of the loan portfolio and related 
credit risks.  The provision for the first six months of 1997 was  $41,000
compared to $34,263 for the first six months of 1996.  The  provision  for the
three  months  ended June 30,  1997 was $35,000 as  compared to $20,735 for the
same  period  ended June 30,  1996.  Net chargeoffs for the six month period
ended June 30, 1997 equaled $9,203 compared to net recoveries of $4,737 for the
comparable period in 1996.

Income Taxes

The Company has recorded income tax expense of $144,722 for the six months ended
June 30, 1997  representing  an effective  tax rate of  approximately  34% which
compares to an effective tax rate of 37% recorded for the  comparable  period of
1996.  The Company  recorded for the three months ended June 30, 1997 income tax
expense  of  $75,622 or 33% as  compared  to $61,805 or 38% for the same  period
ended June 30, 1996.

Net Income

The Company  earned net income of $279,315 or  approximately  0.32 per share for
the six  month  period  ended  June 30,  1997.  This  compares  to  $207,083  or
approximately  0.24 per share  for the like  period  ended  June 30,  1996.  The
Company  earned net income of $150,933 or  approximately  0.17 per share for the
three  months ended June 30, 1997.  This  compares to $100,773 or  approximately
0.12 per share for the same  period  ended June 30,  1996.

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.
