NOTE TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(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
accepted accounting principles. All adjustments consisting of normal recurring
accruals which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to a fair statement
of the financial position and results of operations for the periods covered by
this report have been included.
(2) Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share has been calculated in accordance with the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board. SFAS No. 128 requires
presentation of earnings per share on a basic computation and a diluted
computation. The basic computation divides net income by only the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding for the year and the diluted
computation gives effect to all diluted common shares that were outstanding
during the year.
Earnings per share amounts for the year 1997 have been restated to give effect
to the application of this new standard.
The following data shows the amounts used in computing earnings per share and
the effect on income and the weighted average number of shares of dilutive
potential common stock.

(3) Merger
On June 30, 1998, Eagle Bank and Trust signed an Agreement and Plan of Merger
with PAB Bankshares, Inc. PAB Bankshares, Inc. is a multibank holding company
for the Park Avenue Bank located in Valdosta, Georgia, Farmers and Merchants
Bank in Adel, Georgia, and First Community Bank of Southwest Georgia in
Bainbridge, Georgia. This merger would result in PAB Bankshares, Inc. acquiring
all of Eagle Bank and Trust's outstanding stock in a business combination
accounted for as a pooling of interest. The merger would constitute a tax-free
reorganization within the meaning of section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "code"). Upon consummation of this merger, which is
subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals, shareholders of Eagle Bank and
Trust would receive one(1) share of stock in PAB Bankshares, Inc. in exchange
for each share of Eagle Bancorp, Inc. stock.

(4) Year 2000
The banking industry relies on the validity of financial information, most of
which is generated and maintained by automated data processing systems. Eagle
Bancorp, Inc. directors and management have formed a Year 2000 Committee which
is charged with administering the phases of awareness, assessment, renovation,
validation and implementation which are required to ensure Year 2000 compliance
throughout the organization in a timely manner. The year 2000 committee meets on
a monthly basis and reports monthly to the Board of Directors of the Bank. All
information and environmental systems have been examined by internal and
external technical support. The Committee has contacted all vendors and
supplies. Approximately 60% of the PC's have been replaced with an additional
30% to be replaced during the first quarter of 1999 the other 10% are already
compliant. The committee also contacted all major loan customers. The committee
is of the opinion that the cost of becoming Year 2000 compliant in a timely
manner will not have a material adverse impact on the operating results or
financial condition of the company.
(5) Accounting Change
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprensive Income". This statement establishes
standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components
in the financial statements. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in
equity of a business enterprise during the period from transactions and other
events and circumstances from nonowner sources.

Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations
GENERAL
The following is a discussion of the Company's financial condition at September
30, 1998 compared to December 31, 1997, and the results of its operations for
the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 compared to the
comparable periods ended September 30, 1997. 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 1997 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.

<PAGE>
FINANCIAL CONDITION
During the first nine months of 1998, total assets increased $4,639,318 or
approximately 7% as compared to amounts at December 31, 1997. This increase was
primarily a result of the bank's deposit base increasing by approximately
$2,186,018 and other borrowings of $2,102,394.
The following is a summary of deposits:

============ ============
</TABLE>
The Company's rate of growth was approximately 7% for the nine months of 1998 as
compared to 13% for the same period in 1997. Factors expected to contribute to a
continuation in the Company's growth rate include:
1) the current loan demand 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 continue to achieve growth for 1998 in the 7 to 10%
range.

<PAGE>
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, 1998, the Company's cash and due
from banks equaled $4,974,964, its investment securities available for sale
equaled $8,085,488. 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. As of September 30, 1998 and December 31,
1997, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $4,745,901 and $2,643,507
respectfully, 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, equaled
26.10% as of September 30, 1998 compared to 22.87% as of December 31, 1997. 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, 1998
jumbo deposits equaled 17.75% of total deposits of $57,853,382. At December 31,
1997 jumbo deposits equaled 21.10% of total deposits of $56,005,795. 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 and county, city and educational funds. 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
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, 1998.

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 10.46% at September 30,
1998 as compared to 10.18% at December 31, 1997. 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.
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 September 30, 1998.

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, 1998 equaled
$716,430 or 1.52% more than the three month period ended September 30, 1997. The
average yield earned on interest-earning assets was 8.80% for the three month
period ended September 30, 1998 compared to 8.93% for the similar period ended
September, 30, 1997 and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities
was 5.10% for the three month period ended September 30, 1998 compared to 5.00%
for the comparable period ended September 30, 1997. The Company's net interest
margin for the three month period ended September 30, 1998 was 4.47% compared to
4.63% for the three month period ended September 30, 1997.
Net interest income for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998 equaled
$2,087,898 or 4.83% more than the nine month period ending September 30, 1997.
The average yield earned on interest-earning assets was 8.77% for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1998 compared to 8.90% for the similar period ended
September 30, 1997 and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was
5.06% for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998 compared to 4.95% for
the nine month period ended September 30, 1997. The Company's net interest
margin for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998 was 4.44% compared to
4.60% for the period ended September 30, 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 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 1.46% of outstanding loans
at September 30, 1998 as compared to 1.43% at December 31, 1997. The allowance
increased to $732,200 at September 30, 1998 from $706,237 at December 31, 1997.
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 1998 was $34,332 compared to $90,000 for the first nine months of 1997. This
provision is a result of evaluation as describe above of the loan portfolio
during the first nine months of 1998 as compared to the first nine months of
1997. Net charge-offs for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998 equaled
$8,369 compared to net charge-offs of $33,574 for the comparable period in 1997.

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.
