First Federal Savings 401(k) Plan Notes to Financial Statements NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN The following description of the First Federal Savings 401(k) Plan (the 'Plan') provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. GENERAL The Plan is a profit sharing plan with a cash or deferred arrangement established in accordance with the requirements of Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan is subject to the provisions of ERISA. Substantially all employees of First Federal Savings are covered by the plan. Donald L. Fernandes, Chairman of the Board and CEO of First Federal Savings, is Trustee of the Plan. ELIGIBILITY Each employee of First Federal Savings is eligible to participate in the Plan on the next January 1 or July 1 following or coinciding with the employee attaining the age of twenty and one-half years and completing six months of service. As of January 1, 1999, there were 44 employees eligible to participate in the Plan with 36 employees actually participating. CONTRIBUTIONS Participants may elect to reduce pretax compensation from 1 to 15% and have that amount contributed to the Plan. Rollover contributions from other plans may also be made subject to approval of the Plan Administrator and to compliance with IRS regulations. In addition, the Board of Directors of First Federal Savings may elect to make matching and or discretionary contributions to the Plan to eligible participants on the last day of the fiscal year. For 1998 and 1997, First Federal Savings matched 100% of the first $250 and 50% of the next $1,500 of eligible participant contributions. Participants elect their contribution percentage when initially eligible to participate and can modify or terminate their contribution percentage as of the first day of each calendar quarter thereafter. PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions, First Federal Savings' matching and discretionary contributions and Plan earnings. VESTING Participants are at all times fully vested in their contributions and the earnings thereon. Participants fully vest in employer contributions and earnings thereon after six years of qualified service based on vesting 20% after each of the second through sixth years of qualified service. A year of qualified service is earned in each 12 month period in which the participant completes at least 501 hours of service. Generally, vesting is accelerated upon retirement or due to death or disability of the participant. PLAN ADMINISTRATOR As of January 1, 1998, the Plan Administrator changed from Bankers Systems Inc. to McGladrey & Pullen, LLP. Plan investments, with the exception of Eagle BancGroup, Inc. common stock, are maintained by First Mercantile Trust Company. Investments in Eagle BancGroup, Inc. common stock are maintained by the plan trustee. Bankers Systems Inc. had been Plan Administrator since March 11, 1996. IAA Trust Company was Plan Administrator prior to Bankers Systems. INVESTMENT OPTIONS Participants may elect to direct the investment of any or all of their accounts under the Plan. Prior to October, 1998, participants could invest up to 50% of their account in the common stock of Eagle BancGroup, Inc., the holding company that owns First Federal Savings. This investment option is no longer allowed by the Plan, though previously purchased shares can still be held in participant accounts. Participants can also invest in any of 16 registered investment companies (mutual funds) offered through First Mercantile Trust Company. The fund numbers listed as part of the following brief fund descriptions correspond to the financial statements presented in this report. Fund 1: Eagle BancGroup, Inc.

Benefits are payable to participants as a result of termination of employment, death or under certain hardship conditions. Following termination of employment or death, benefits can be paid in a lump sum, in two or more annual installments, in a nontransferable annuity contract or rolled into another qualified plan. If the vested portion of the Participant's account is less than $3,500, payment is generally made in a lump sum. If the vested portion of the Participant's Accounts exceeds $3,500, no distribution generally will be made if the Participant has not attained age 65 unless the Participant consents to an earlier distribution. Benefits will be paid to the designated beneficiary in the event of a Participant's death. If married, the Participant's spouse shall be the beneficiary unless the spouse has agreed to another beneficiary. Participants may be permitted to make a withdrawal of their contributions and employer contributions, not including earnings on such funds, under certain conditions, including payment of medical expenses, purchase of a principal residence and payment of tuition and related fees for post secondary education. Certain conditions must be met before such withdrawals and participant contributions are suspended for twelve months following such withdrawals. NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The financial statements of the Plan have been prepared on the accrual basis. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the plan administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates. INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION Shares in registered investment companies are carried at aggregate current value with the difference between cost and current value reflected in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments. Market values of shares in registered investment companies are based on the quoted net asset value (redemption value) of the investment company at year end. Investment in Eagle BancGroup, Inc. common stock is carried at quoted market prices. WITHDRAWALS AND FORFEITURES Participants who withdraw from the Plan forfeit any unvested amounts in their accounts. Forfeiture amounts are allocated to all other participants in addition to any amounts contributed by the Employer. ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Administrative expenses are generally paid by the Employer. NOTE 3. INVESTMENTS The Plan Administrator holds the Plan's investments and executes all of the Plan's transactions related to all funds except the Eagle BancGroup, Inc. common stock. Transactions related to Eagle BancGroup, Inc. common stock were executed by PrimeVest Financial Services, Inc. ('PrimeVest') at the direction of the Plan Trustee. Financial information with respect to investments held at December 31, 1998 and 1997 was provided by McGladrey & Pullen, LLP, First Mercantile Trust Company, PrimeVest and Bankers Systems. The financial information presented has not been audited by independent auditors. Investments that represent 5% or more of the Plan's net assets are identified with an asterisk (*). First Mercantile Trust Company continually monitors the performance of the registered investment companies. As results warrant, holdings may be moved from an underforming registered investment company to a new registered investment company with the same primary investment strategy (i.e. government bonds, growth stocks, etc.). In 1998, one such change was made. Fund 4 was changed from Sun Valley Advisors, Inc. to Simms Capital.

INCOME TAX STATUS The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that the Plan qualifies under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and is, therefore, not subject to tax under present income tax laws. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Internal Revenue Code to maintain its qualification. Neither the Plan Administrator nor the Plan Trustee is aware of any course of action or series of events that have occurred that might adversely affect the qualified status of the Plan. Participant contributions are exempt from federal income tax for the participant in the year contributed. Funds withdrawn are subject to federal income tax in the year withdrawn. Withdrawals by participants under 65 years of age may also be subject to penalty. NOTE 5. TRANSACTIONS WITH PARTIES-IN-INTEREST The Plan owned 3,215.50 shares of Eagle BancGroup, Inc.

PLAN TERMINATION Although the Plan is intended to continue indefinitely, the Employer has the right to terminate the Plan in whole or in part at any time subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become fully vested in their entire account, including employer contributions, regardless of any other Plan provisions.
