Eagle BancGroup, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and therefore do not include all information and disclosures 
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements.  All adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, 
necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods reported,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, have been included
in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

2. Conversion

In June, 1996, First Federal Savings and Loan ('First Federal') converted
from a federally-chartered mutual savings association to a federally-
chartered capital stock savings association and issued all of its common
stock to the Company in exchange for $6,200,000.  The Company sold 1,302,705
shares of common stock in a subscription offering simultaneous to the charter
conversion using a portion of the net proceeds to purchase First Federal, now
a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.      

3. SFAS 122

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 122, 'Accounting for
Mortgage Servicing Rights' was adopted as of January 1, 1996 resulting in
the recognition of a net servicing asset related to loans sold of $21,000 in 
the first six months of 1996.  No adjustment to 1995 results was made as the
statement was not retroactively adopted.

4. Earnings Per Share and Dividends

The Company issued 1,302,705 shares of common stock in June, 1996 after
completion of its initial stock subscription offering.  As of June 30, 1996,
1,302,705 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding.  For comparison
purposes, this number of outstanding shares was used to calculate per share
amounts in prior periods in which no stock was actually outstanding.  The
Company has not yet paid any dividends.


Eagle BancGroup, Inc.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL.  For the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company had a net loss
of $50,000, or $(.04) per share, compared to net income of $107,000, or $.08
per share, for the six months ended June 30, 1995.  For the three months
ended June 30, 1996, the Company had a net loss of $16,000, or $(.01) per
share, compared to net income of $42,000, or $.03 per share, for the three
months ended June 30, 1995. 

NET INTEREST INCOME.  Net interest income increased to $1,444,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 from $1,318,000 for the six months ended June 30, 
1995.  In the first half of 1996, interest income totaled $5,263,000 and  
interest expense totaled $3,819,000 compared to $4,796,000 and $3,478,000,
respectively, for the same periods in 1995.  In the second quarter of 1996,
net interest income increased to $748,000 from $616,000 in the same period in
1995.  Interest income was $2,665,000 and interest expense was $1,917,000 in
the second quarter of 1996 compared to $2,456,000 and $1,840,000,
respectively, in the second quarter of 1995.

In 1996, the interest rate spread decreased to 1.63% for the first six months
from 2.05% for the same period in 1995.  In the second quarter, the interest
rate spread decreased to 1.62% in 1996 from 1.82% in 1995.  The interest rate
spread is the difference between the rate earned on average interest earning
assets and the rate paid on average interest bearing liabilities.  The net
interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest earning
assets) was 1.97% for both the first half of 1996 and 1995 while in the
second quarter of 1996, th margin increased to 2.01% from 1.79% in 1995.

In the first half of 1996, average interest earning assets were $147,824,000
and average interest bearing liabilities were $138,893,000 compared to
$134,803,000 and $136,661,000, respectively, in 1995.  In the second quarter,
average interest earning assets were $150,203,000 and average interest 
bearing liabilities were $139,586,000 in 1996 compared to $138,083,000 and
$138,764,000, respectively, in 1995.  The increase in interest earning assets
in 1996 from 1995 was primarily due to the sale, in the fourth quarter of 
1995, of a large commercial property previously held as real estate owned and
the 1995 marketing effort to attract new deposits.  The rate earned on 
average interest earning assets was 7.16% for the first half of 1996 compared
to 7.17% in 1995 and was 7.14% for the second quarter of 1996 compared to 
7.15% in 1995.  The decrease in the interest rate spread in 1996 from 1995 
was due to the increase in the rate paid on average interest bearing
liabilities which was 5.53% for the first six months of 1996 compared to 
5.13% for 1995 and was 5.52% for the second quarter of 1996 compared to 5.33%
for the second quarter of 1995.

The increase in the rate paid on average interest bearing liabilities in 1996
from 1995 was due to an overall increase in deposit rates in 1995 and 1996
over previous years.  Certificates opened in 1993 and 1994 that renewed in
1995 and 1996 earned higher rates than in previous years.  The average rate
paid on certificates of deposit increased to 6.02% for the first six months of
1996 from 5.54% for the same period in 1995.  For 1995, the average rate paid
on certificates of deposit was 5.81%.
 
During the first half of 1996, average borrowed funds, all FHLB advances, 
were $714,000 compared to $2,325,000 for the first six months of 1995.  
Interest expense on the advances totaled $11,000 and $76,000 for the first
half of 1996 and 1995, respectively, and $11,000 and $2,000 for the second
quarter of 1996 and 1995, respectively.

In June, 1996, the Company completed its initial stock offering that resulted
in net proceeds of $11,335,000.  Of this amount, $6,200,000 was paid to First
Federal Savings and Loan in exchange for all of First Federal's common stock.
First Federal will use the funds to originate residential mortgage loans and
retail automobile loans and to purchase short-term investments.  The Company
will invest the remaining proceeds in various investment securities.

All loans contractually past due 90 days or more are classified as non-
performing and no interest income is accrued on such balances.  In the first
six months of 1996, $11,000 was recorded as income on non-accrual loans.  On
an accrual basis, $35,000 would have been recognized as income on the loans.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSS.  The provision for loan loss for the first half of
1996 was $35,000 compared to $30,000 for the first six months of 1995.  The
amount of the provision is calculated as the amount necessary to increase the
allowance for loan loss to a level deemed adequate to absorb estimated future
losses inherent in the loan portfolio.  At June 30, 1996, the allowance for
loan loss was $882,000, or .92% of total loans, compared to $907,000, or 
1.01% of total loans, at December 31, 1995 and $867,000, or .96% of total
loans, at June 30, 1995.  In the first six months of 1996, loans totaling
$63,000 were charged against the allowance while recoveries of loans
previously charged-off were $3,000.  Non-performing loans were $544,000 at
June 30, 1996 compared to $513,000 at December 31, 1995, both amounts
equaling .57% of total loans.

NON-INTEREST INCOME.  Non-interest income decreased to $190,000 for the first
half of 1996 from $219,000 for the same period in 1995.  In the first six
months of 1995, $100,000 was recognized as income as the result of a
reduction in the valuation allowance for loans held for sale.  In 1996, a
charge to the valuation allowance was included in non-interest expense.  
Gains on the sale of loans totaled $41,000 in the first six months of 1996
compared to $(1,000) in the first half of 1995.  Included in the 1996 income
is $21,000 recognized as a servicing asset as a result of the adoption, as of
January 1, 1996, of SFAS 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights." 
The remainder of the increase in gains on loans sold was due to increased
originations of mortgage loans which totaled $15,982,000 in the first half of
1996 compared to $5,975,000 in the same period in 1995.  In addition, in the
first six months of 1996 brokerage commission income increased to $32,000
from $14,000 in the same period of 1995 and deposit account service fees
increased to $25,000 in the first six months of 1996 from $14,000 in the same
period in 1995 both due to an increased number of accounts and higher
transaction volumes.

For the three months ended June 30, 1996, non-interest income decreased to
$77,000 from $123,000 for the same period in 1995.  In the second quarter of
1995, $64,000 was recognized as income as a result of a reduction in the loans
held for sale valuation allowance.  In 1996, an increase in the allowance was
charged to non-interest expense.  In the second quarter of 1996, brokerage 
commission income increased $7,000 and deposit account service fees increased
$5,000 from the same period in 1995 due to the same factors previously noted.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE.  For the first six months of 1996, non-interest expense
increased to $1,672,000 from $1,350,000 for the same period in 1995.  In the
first half of 1995, net income from real estate owned operations was $180,000
compared to zero in 1996 due to the sale, late in 1995, of the large 
commercial property held as real estate owned on which net rental income was
generated.  In addition, in the first half of 1996, marketing expense 
increased to $73,000 from $13,000 in the same period in 1995 due to increased
home mortgage lending and customer service related advertising.  An increase
in the valuation allowance for loans held for sale of $16,000 was charged to
non-interest expense in the first half of 1996 compared to a reduction in the
valuation credited to non-interest income in 1995.  Increased deposits in

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets at June 30, 1996 increased to $162,519,000 from $150,974,000 at
December 31, 1995 primarily due to the net proceeds of $11,335,000 from the
initial stock sale by the Company that was finalized in June, 1996.  Cash and
cash equivalents increased to $10,089,000 at June 30, 1996 from $3,900,000 at
December 31, 1995 due to short-term investment of a portion of the stock sale
proceeds.  Net loans increased to $95,058,000 at June 30, 1996 from 
$88,786,000 at year-end, 1995 with the increase divided between residential
mortgage loans and retail automobile loans.  Mortgage-backed securities

Regulation requires savings institutions to maintain minimum capital levels as
measured by three capital-to-asset ratios: Risk-based capital to risk weighted
assets of 8%; core capital to adjusted tangible assets of 3% and tangible core
capital to tangible assets of 1.50%.  At June 30, 1996, the Company's savings
institution subsidiary had ratios of 20.92%, 10.62% and 10.62%, respectively,
compared to December 31, 1995 ratios of 15.78%, 7.73% and 7.73%,
respectively.  The Company's capital to asset ratio at June 30, 1996 was
13.74% compared to 7.63% at December 31, 1995.  The significant increases in
these ratios at June 30, 1996 from December 31, 1995 were due to additional
capital from the stock sale.

Savings institutions must also maintain a minimum 5% liquidity ratio measured
as the ratio of cash, short-term investments and certain long-term investments
to deposits and certain borrowed funds.  At June 30, 1996, the Company's
