(1) Basis of Presentation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eagle
Bancorp, Inc. ("the Company") and its wholly owned subsidiary, Eagle Bank and
Trust. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements do not
include all information and notes necessary for a fair presentation of financial
position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally

Item 2.
Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations
The following is a discussion of the Company's financial condition at March 31,
1997, compared to December 31, 1996, and the results of its operations for the
period ended March 31, 1997, compared to the three month period ended March 31,
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.
GENERAL
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 three months of 1997, total assets decreased $.5 million or
approximately 0.86% as compared to amounts at December 31, 1996. During this
period the Bank's deposit base increased by approximately $64,449 as reflected
below. The Bank's asset mix changed by an increase in interest earning
investments of $1,631,501 or approximately 12.37% when compared to the December
31, 1996 levels, while cash and due from banks decreased by $1,903,241 or
approximately 85% as compared to amount at December 31, 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
Liquidity management involves the matching of cash flow requirements of
customers, with depositors withdrawing funds and borrowers requiring 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 requests.
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. Occasionally, the Company will sell investment
securities in connection with the management of its interest sensitivity gap.
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
March 31, 1997, the Company's cash and due from banks equaled $334,581, its
investment securities available for sale equaled $7,251,281 and its federal
funds sold equaled $3,780,000. 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 $2,500,000 and with the Federal Home Loan Bank, Atlanta, Ga. for
a secured credit line of $7,000,000. During 1996, the Company borrowed on a
long-term basis from the Federal Home Loan Bank to match loan funding rates and
maturities with loan borrowing rates and maturities with balances outstanding of
$533,500 and $548,250 as of March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996 respectfully.
The Company's liquidity position, calculated as cash and due from banks, federal
funds sold, and investment securities not pledged divided by deposits, equaled
31.30% as of March 31, 1997, compared to 29.94% as of December 31, 1996. The
Company's optimum liquidity ratio is 30% with a minimum acceptable ratio of 20%.
Management monitors liquidity daily and strives to maintain a liquidity ratio
between 20% and 30%.
The Company continues to monitor the percentage of certificates of deposit of
$100 thousand and over to total deposits. At March 31, 1997, deposits over $100
thousand equaled approximately 18% of total deposits. A substantial portion of
these certificates of deposits is with individuals who reside in the Company's
primary service area who are either shareholders, organizers, or directors of
the Company and to 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 March 31,
1997.

Since all interest rates and yields do not adjust at the same velocity, the

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 10.51% at March 31,
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 future.
Eagle Bancorp, Inc. believes that cash on hand of approximately $299,200 at
March 31, 1997, should be sufficient to fund its holding company annual cash
requirements for the future that consist principally of holding company annual
cash expenses of approximately $70,000. On October 15, 1996, the Company
declared a cash dividend in the amount of $.50 per share payable January 15,
1997. This was declared as an annual dividend of $.30 per share and a special
one time dividend of $.20 per share. In May of 1995, the Company declared a 3
for 2 stock split in the form of a share dividend. On October 16, 1995, the
Company declared a cash dividend in the amount of $.25 per share payable January
15, 1996.
<PAGE>
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 table compares the Company's and its subsidiary's capital ratios
to the minimum capital ratios required to be maintained under applicable
regulatory guidelines at March 31, 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. The
Company's interest-bearing liabilities include deposits and borrowings.
Net interest income for the three month period ended March 31, 1997, equaled
$620,897 or 10.69% more than net interest income of $560,946 for the three month
period ending March 31, 1996. The average yield earned on average
interest-earning assets decreased to 8.65% for the three month period ended
March 31, 1997 from 9.17% for the similar period ended March 31, 1996 and the
average rate paid on average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 4.92% for
the three month period ended March 31, 1997 from 5.29% for the three month
period ended March 31, 1996. The Company's interest rate differential for the
three month period ended March 31, 1997, was 3.73% compared to 3.88% for the
period ended March 31, 1996. The net interest margin (net interest income
divided by average interest-earning assets) for the three month period ended
March 31, 1997, was 4.42% as compared to 4.62% for the same period ended March
31, 1996. The Company's average loan to deposit ratio in 1996 was 83.42%
compared to 77.88% for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The Company's loan
to deposit ratio at December 31, 1996, was 81.27% as compared to 80.32% at March
31, 1997.
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 is 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 1.51% of outstanding loans
at March 31, 1997, as compared to approximately 1.50% at December 31, 1996.. The
allowance decreased to $635,566 at March 31, 1997, from $639,500 at December 31,
1996.
The provision for the first three months of 1997 decreased by approximately
$7,528 as compared to the first three months of 1996. Net chargeoffs for the
three month period ended March 31, 1997, were $9,934 compared to $4,528 for the
comparable period in 1996.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the three month period ended March 31, 1997, was $160,428
compared to $184,533 for the comparable period in 1996. This income primarily
includes service charges on deposit accounts, in the amount of $88,696 for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to $86,903 in 1996 and mortgage
referral fees in the amount of $49,335 for the three months ended March 31, 1997
compared to $78,927 in 1996.

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense is composed primarily of salaries and employee benefits, net
