NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. BASIS OF
PRESENTATION
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial
statements. However, such information reflects all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of results for the unaudited
interim periods.
The
results of operations for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 2011 or any other period. The unaudited consolidated
financial statements and notes presented herein should be read in conjunction
with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto
included in Eagle’s Form 10-K dated June 30, 2010.
The
Company evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure
through November 12, 2010 the date the consolidated financial statements were
issued.
On April
5, 2010, the Company completed its second-step conversion from the
partially-public mutual holding company structure to the fully publicly-owned
stock holding company structure. As part of that transaction it also
completed a related offering of its common stock. As a result of the
conversion and offering, the Company became the stock holding company for
American Federal Savings Bank, and Eagle Financial MHC and Eagle Bancorp ceased
to exist. The Company sold a total of 2,464,274 shares of common
stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share in the offering for gross proceeds
of $24.6 million. Concurrent with the completion of the offering,
shares of Eagle Bancorp common stock owned by the public were
exchanged. Stockholders of Eagle Bancorp received 3.800 shares of the
Company's common stock for each share of Eagle Bancorp common stock that they
owned immediately prior to completion of the transaction. Accordingly, as of May
12, 2010, the Company had 8,000,000 shares of common stock authorized and
4,083,127 issued and outstanding.

In
evaluating debt securities for other-than-temporary impairment losses,
management assesses whether the Company intends to sell or if it is more likely
than not that it will be required to sell impaired debt
securities. In so doing, management considers contractual
constraints, liquidity, capital, asset/liability management and securities
portfolio objectives. With respect to its impaired debt securities at
September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, management determined that it does not
intend to sell and that there is no expected requirement to sell any of its
impaired debt securities.
As of
September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, there were respectively, 26 and 48,
securities in an unrealized loss position and were considered to be temporarily
impaired and therefore an impairment charge has not been
recorded. All of such temporarily impaired investments are debt
securities.
At
September 30, 2010, 22 U.S. Government and agency securities and municipal
obligations have unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of less than 4.5%
from the Company’s amortized cost basis of these securities. We
believe these unrealized losses are principally due to interest rate
movements. As such, the Company determined that none of such
securities had other-than-temporary impairment.

2. INVESTMENT
SECURITIES - continued
At
September 30, 2010, 4 mortgage backed and CMO securities have unrealized losses
with aggregate depreciation of less than 4.7% from the Company’s cost basis of
these securities. We believe these unrealized losses are principally
due to the credit market’s concerns regarding the stability of the mortgage
market and potentially rising interest rates. Two of the CMO
securities are non-agency securities. At September 30, 2010 the fair value of
these non-agency securities totaled $528,000 with an unrealized loss of $78,000,
or 12.9% of the Company’s amortized cost basis. Management considers
available evidence to assess whether it is more likely than not that all amounts
due would not be collected. In such assessment, management considers
the severity and duration of the impairment, the credit ratings of the security,
the overall deal and payment structure, including the Company's position within
the structure, underlying obligor, financial condition and near term prospects
of the issuer, delinquencies, defaults, loss severities, recoveries,
prepayments, cumulative loss projections, discounted cash flows and fair value
estimates. There has been no disruption of the scheduled cash flows
on any of the securities. Management’s analysis as of September 30,
2010 revealed no expected credit losses on these securities.

NOTE 7. FAIR VALUE
DISCLOSURES
Financial
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or
paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants. FASB ASC 825 allows the Company to elect to apply fair value
accounting for designated instruments to improve financial reporting and
mitigate volatility in reported earnings. A fair value measurement
assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs
in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a
principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The
price in the principal (or most advantageous) market used to measure the fair
value of the asset or liability shall not be adjusted for transaction costs. An
orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a
period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are
usual and customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it
is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the
principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable,
(iii) able to transact and (iv) willing to transact.
FASB ASC
820 requires the use of valuation techniques that are consistent with the market
approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. The market approach uses
prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving
identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The income approach uses
valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings,
to a single present amount on a discounted basis. The cost approach is based on
the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of
an asset (replacement costs). Valuation techniques should be consistently
applied. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market
participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be
observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would
use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained
from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the
reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants
would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best
information available in the circumstances. In that regard, FASB ASC 820
establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest
priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as
follows:
|
·
|
Level
1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the
measurement date.
|
|
·
|
Level
2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active
markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in
markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are
observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rates,
volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default
rates) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by
observable market data by correlation or other
means.
|
|
·
|
Level
3 Inputs - Significant unobservable inputs that reflect an entity’s own
assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or
liabilities.
|
A
description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities
measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such
instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth
below.
In
general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such
quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally
developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based
parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial
instruments are recorded at fair value.
While
management believes the Company’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and
consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or
assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could
result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.
Investment
Securities Available for Sale – Securities classified as available for sale are
reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. For these
securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent
pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may
include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U. S. Treasury yield
curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayments
speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other
things.

NOTE 7. FAIR VALUE
DISCLOSURES - continued
Loan
Subject to Fair Value Hedge – The Company has one loan that is carried at fair
value subject to a fair value hedge. Fair value is determined
utilizing valuation models that consider the scheduled cash flows through
anticipated maturity and is considered a Level 3 input.
Loans
Held for Sale – These loans are reported at the lower of cost or fair value.
Fair value is determined based on expected proceeds based on sales contracts and
commitments and are considered Level 2 inputs.
Impaired
Loans – Impaired loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying
collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Collateral
values are estimated using Level 3 inputs based on internally customized
discounting criteria.
Repossessed
Assets – Real Estate and other assets acquired in the settlement of loans
are reported at fair value less estimated costs to dispose of the property using
Level 2 inputs. The fair values are determined by appraisals using
valuation techniques consistent with the market approach using recent sales of
comparable properties. In cases where such inputs are unobservable,
the balance is reflected within the Level 3 hierarchy.
Derivative
financial instruments – Fair values for interest rate swap agreements are based
upon the amounts required to settle the contracts. These instruments
are valued using Level 3 inputs utilizing valuation models that consider: (a)
time value, (b) volatility factors and (c) current market and contractual prices
for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic
measures. Although the Company utilizes counterparties’ valuations to
assess the reasonableness of its prices and valuation techniques, there is not
sufficient corroborating market evidence to support classifying these assets and
liabilities as Level 2.

Certain
financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a
nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on
an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain
circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of
impairment). The following table summarizes financial assets and
nonfinancial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of

As of
September 30, 2010, certain impaired loans were remeasured and reported at fair
value through a specific valuation allowance with allocation of the allowance
for loan losses based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral. Impaired
loans with a carrying value of $1,640,000 were reduced by specific valuation
allowance allocations totaling $328,000 to a total reported fair value of
$1,312,000 based on collateral valuations utilizing Level 3 valuation
inputs.
Repossessed
assets are recorded at market value less estimated cost to sell, and are
measured for impairment by comparing the carrying value with the current fair
value of the assets. The repossessed assets had a carrying amount of
$1,243,000, as of September 30, 2010.
Those
financial instruments not subject to the initial implementation of FASB ASC 820
are required under FASB ASC 825 to have their fair value disclosed, both assets
and liabilities recognized and not recognized in the statement of financial
position, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. Below
is a table that summarizes the fair market values of all financial instruments
of the Company at September 30, 2010, and June 30, 2010, followed by methods and
assumptions that were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of the
classes of financial instruments not covered by FASB ASC 820.
The
estimated fair value amounts of financial instruments have been determined by
the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation
methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to
interpret data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the
estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the
Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of
different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material
effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The
following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the
fair value of the following classes of financial instruments.
Cash and interest-bearing
accounts – The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the
relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and
their expected realization.
Securities held-to-maturity –
For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an
independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable
data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U. S.
Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market
consensus prepayments speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and
conditions, among other things.
Stock in the FHLB – The fair
value of stock in the FHLB approximates redemption value.
Loans receivable – Fair
values are estimated by stratifying the loan portfolio into groups of loans with
similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such
as real estate, commercial, and consumer, with each category further segmented
into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms.
For
mortgage loans, the Company uses the secondary market rates in effect for loans
that have similar characteristics. The fair value of other fixed rate
loans is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the anticipated
maturities adjusted for prepayment estimates. Adjustable interest
rate loans are assumed to approximate fair value because they generally reprice
within the short term.
Fair
values are adjusted for credit risk based on assessment of risk identified with
specific loans, and risk adjustments on the remaining portfolio based on credit
loss experience.
Assumptions
regarding credit risk are determined based on management’s judgment using
specific borrower information, internal credit quality analysis, and historical
information on segmented loan categories for non-specific
borrowers.
Mortgage Servicing Rights –
Fair values are estimated by stratifying the mortgage servicing portfolio into
groups of loans with similar financial characteristics, such as loan type,
interest rate, and expected maturity. The Company obtains market
survey data estimates and bid quotations from secondary market investors who
regularly purchase mortgage servicing rights. Assumptions regarding
loan payoffs are determined using historical information on segmented loan
categories for nonspecific borrowers.

NOTE 7. FAIR VALUE
DISCLOSURES – continued
Cash surrender value of life
insurance – The carrying amount for
cash surrender value of life insurance approximates fair value as policies are
recorded at redemption value.
Deposits and time certificates of
deposit – The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as
checking, passbook, and money market, is equal to the amount payable on
demand. The fair value of time certificates of deposit is based on
the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is
estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar
maturities.
Advances from the FHLB &
Subordinated Debentures – The fair value of the Company’s advances and
debentures are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the
interest rate that would be effective September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010,
respectively if the borrowings repriced according to their stated
terms.
NOTE 8. DERIVATIVES AND
HEDGING ACTIVITIES
The
Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations.
The primary risk managed by using derivative instruments is interest rate risk.
The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement on August 27, 2010 with
a third party to manage interest rate risk associated with a fixed-rate loan
that effectively converted its fixed rate into a variable rate. The derivatives
and hedging accounting guidance (FASB ASC 815-10) requires that the Company
recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair
value in the statement of financial position. In accordance with this guidance,
the Company designates the interest rate swap on this fixed-rate loan as a fair
value hedge.
The
Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by
the counterparties to this agreement. The Company controls the credit risk of
its financial contracts through credit approvals, limits and monitoring
procedures, and does not expect any counterparties to fail their obligations.
The Company deals only with primary dealers.
If
certain hedging criteria specified in derivatives and hedging accounting
guidance are met, including testing for hedge effectiveness, hedge accounting
may be applied. The hedge effectiveness assessment methodologies for similar
hedges are performed in a similar manner and are used consistently throughout
the hedging relationships.
The hedge
documentation specifies the terms of the hedged item and the interest rate swap.
The documentation also indicates that the derivative is hedging a fixed-rate
item, that the hedge exposure is to the changes in the fair value of the hedged
item, and that the strategy is to eliminate fair value variability by converting
fixed-rate interest payments to variable-rate interest payments.
For
derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge,
the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the
hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current earnings.
The Company includes the gain or loss on the hedged items in the same line
item-noninterest income-as the offsetting loss or gain on the related interest
rate swap.
The fixed
rate loan hedged has an original maturity of 20 years and is not
callable. This loan is hedged with a "pay fixed rate, receive
variable rate" swap with a similar notional amount, maturity, and fixed rate
coupons. The swap is not callable. At September 30, 2010, a loan with an
outstanding principal balance of $12,100,000 loan was hedged with an interest
rate swap, which had a notional value of $12,100,000.

NOTE 9. RECENTLY ISSUED
PRONOUNCEMENTS
GAAP Codification – On
July 1, 2009, the FASB’s GAAP Codification became effective as the sole
authoritative source of GAAP. This codification reorganizes current
GAAP for non-governmental entities into a topical index to facilitate accounting
research and to provide users additional assurance that they have referenced all
related literature pertaining to a given topic. Existing GAAP prior
to the Codification was not altered in the compilation of the GAAP
Codification. The GAAP Codification encompasses all FASB Statements
of Financial Accounting Standards, Emerging Issues Task Force statements, FASB
Staff Positions, FASB Interpretations, FASB Derivative Implementation Guides,
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Positions,
Accounting Principles Board Opinions and Accounting Research Bulletins along
with the remaining body of GAAP effective as of June 30,
2009. Financial Statements issued for all interim and annual periods
ending after September 15, 2009, will need to reference accounting guidance
embodied in the Codification as opposed to referencing the previously
authoritative pronouncements.
On
November 14, 2008, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued its
long-anticipated proposed International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)
roadmap outlining milestones that, if achieved, could lead to mandatory
transition to IFRS for U.S.
domestic registrants starting in 2014. IFRS is a comprehensive series
of accounting standards published by the International Accounting Standards
Board (IASB). Under the proposed roadmap, the Company could be
required through its parent company to prepare financial statements in
accordance with IFRS, and the SEC will make a determination in 2011 regarding
the mandatory adoption of IFRS for U.S. domestic
registrants. Management is currently assessing the impact that this
potential change would have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements,
and will continue to monitor the development of the potential implementation of
IFRS.
In April
2009, the FASB issued new guidance impacting ASC Topic 820, Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures. This ASC provides additional guidance in
determining fair values when there is no active market or where the price inputs
being used represent distressed sales. It reaffirms the need to use judgment to
ascertain if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining
fair values when markets have become inactive. The adoption of this new guidance
did not have a material effect on Company’s results of operations or financial
position.

NOTE 9. RECENTLY ISSUED
PRONOUNCEMENTS – continued
In April
2009, the FASB issued new guidance impacting ASC 825-10-50, Financial
Instruments, which relates to fair value disclosures for any financial
instruments that are not currently reflected on the balance sheet of companies
at fair value. This guidance amended existing GAAP to require disclosures about
fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly
traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. This guidance is
effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company
has presented the necessary disclosures in Note 7 to the financial
statements.
In June
2009, the FASB issued new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 810,
Consolidation, which amends prior guidance to change how a company determines
when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through
voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether
a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things,
an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities
of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance.
The new authoritative accounting guidance requires additional disclosures about
the reporting entity’s involvement with variable-interest entities and any
significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement as well as its
affect on the entity’s financial statements. The new authoritative accounting
guidance under ASC Topic 810 will be effective January 1, 2010. The adoption of
the guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated
financial position or results of operations.
In June
2009, the FASB issued ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, to improve the
information included in an entity’s financial statements about a transfer of
financial assets and the effects of a transfer on its financial position,
financial performance and cash flows. The guidance eliminates the exceptions for
qualifying special-purpose entities from the consolidation guidance and the
exception that permitted sale accounting for certain mortgage securitizations
when a transferor has not surrendered control over the transferred financial
assets. In addition, the amendments require enhanced disclosures about the risks
that a transferor continues to be exposed to because of its continuing
involvement in transferred financial assets. The guidance is effective for the
first reporting period (including interim periods) that begins after November
15, 2009. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material effect on the
Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In August
2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
(Topic 820) - Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value. This ASU provides amendments
for fair value measurements of liabilities. It provides clarification that in
circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical
liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value
using one or more techniques. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that when estimating a
fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a
separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a
restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability. ASU 2009-05 is
effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning
after issuance or fourth quarter 2009. The adoption of the guidance did not have
a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of
operations.
In July
2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-20, "Disclosures
About the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit
Losses." The purpose of this Update is to improve transparency by companies that
hold financing receivables, including loans, leases and other long-term
receivables. The Update requires such companies to disclose more information
about the credit quality of their financing receivables and the credit reserves
against them. For public entities, this guidance is effective for the
first interim or annual reporting period ending after December 15, 2010, with
the exception of certain disclosures which include information for activity that
occurs during a reporting period (activity in the allowance for credit losses
and modifications of financing receivables) which will be effective for the
first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2010.
The FASB
issued new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 855, Subsequent
Events, which established general standards of accounting for and disclosure of
events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements
are issued or available to be issued. This guidance sets forth (i) the period
after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity
should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition
or disclosure in the financial statements, (ii) the circumstances under which an
entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet
date in its financial statements and (iii) the disclosures that an entity should
make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date.
This new guidance was effective for the period ended September 30, 2010 and did
not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.

MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Overview
The
Company’s primary activity is its ownership of its wholly owned subsidiary,
American Federal Savings Bank (the “Bank”). The Bank is a federally
chartered savings bank, engaging in typical banking
activities: acquiring deposits from local markets and investing in
loans and investment securities. The Bank’s primary component of
earnings is its net interest margin (also called spread or margin), the
difference between interest income and interest expense. The net
interest margin is managed by management (through the pricing of its products
and by the types of products offered and kept in portfolio), and is affected by
moves in interest rates. Noninterest income in the form of fee income
and gain on sale of loans adds to the Bank’s income.
The Bank
has a strong mortgage lending focus, with the majority of its loans in
single-family residential mortgages. This has led to successfully
marketing home equity loans to its customers, as well as a wide range of shorter
term consumer loans for various personal needs (automobiles, recreational
vehicles, etc.). In recent years the Bank has focused on adding
commercial loans to its portfolio, both real estate and non-real
estate. The purpose of this diversification is to mitigate the Bank’s
dependence on the mortgage market, as well as to improve its ability to manage
its spread. The Bank’s management recognizes the need for sources of
fee income to complement its margin, and the Bank now maintains a significant
loan serviced portfolio, which provides a steady source of fee
income. The gain on sale of loans also provides significant fee
income in periods of high mortgage loan origination volumes. Fee
income is also supplemented with fees generated from the Bank’s deposit
accounts. The Bank has a high percentage of non-maturity deposits,
such as checking accounts and savings accounts, which allows management
flexibility in managing its spread. Non-maturity deposits do not
automatically reprice as interest rates rise, as do certificates of
deposit.
For the
past several years, management’s focus has been on improving the Bank’s core
earnings. Core earnings can be described as income before taxes, with
the exclusion of gain on sale of loans and adjustments to the market value of
the Bank’s loan serviced portfolio. Management believes that the Bank
will need to continue to focus on increasing net interest margin, other areas of
fee income, and control operating expenses to achieve earnings growth going
forward. Management’s strategy of growing the bank’s loan portfolio
and deposit base is expected to help achieve these goals as
follows: loans typically earn higher rates of return than
investments; a larger deposit base will yield higher fee income; increasing the
asset base will reduce the relative impact of fixed operating
costs. The biggest challenge to the strategy is funding the growth of
the Bank’s balance sheet in an efficient manner. Deposit growth will
be difficult to maintain due to fierce competition and wholesale funding (which
is usually more expensive than retail deposits) will likely be needed to
supplement it.
The level
and movement of interest rates impacts the Bank’s earnings as
well. The Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) did
not change the federal funds target rate which remained at 0.25% during the
quarter ended September 30, 2010.
Financial
Condition
Comparisons
of financial condition in this section are between September 30, 2010 and June
30, 2010.
Total
assets at September 30, 2010 were $330.81 million, an increase of $5.07 million,
or 1.56%, from $325.74 million at June 30, 2010. This increase in assets was
primarily attributable to an increase in commercial real estate
loans.
Loans
receivable increased $8.70 million, or 5.14%, to $178.21 million at September
30, 2010, from $169.5 million at June 30, 2010. Commercial real estate loans was
the loan category with the largest increase, $10.99 million. This
increase was primarily from the origination of a relatively large loan, a
$12.10 million commercial real estate loan secured by a detention
facility. The loan has a 90% guarantee from the USDA Rural
Development. Due to the USDA Rural Development guarantee, 90% of this
loan, or $10.89 million, is not included in the limitations to a single
borrower. The guarantee also enables the bank to allocate less risk
weighting which reduces capital requirements as well. The loan has a
term of 20 years and is fully amortizing. Since this loan has a fixed
rate, the Bank entered into an interest rate swap with a third party to change
the underlying cash flows to be a variable market rate tied to one-month
LIBOR. Also, residential mortgage loans increased $1.82 million.
However, commercial loans decreased $1.06 million. Both home equity and consumer
loans showed modest decreases, while construction loans decreased $2.09 million.
The decrease in construction loans was primarily due to the permanent financing
of the commercial real estate loan noted above, which had previously reflected
$3.0 million of the construction loan balance as of June 30,
2010. Total loan originations were $67.09 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2010, with single family mortgages accounting for
$43.30 million of the total. Home equity and construction loan originations
totaled $2.93 million and $2.95 million, respectively, for the same period.
Commercial real estate and land loan originations totaled $15.12 million. Loans
held-for-sale increased to $8.35 million at September 30, 2010 from $7.70
million at June 30, 2010.

MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Financial
Condition - continued
Total
cash and cash equivalents decreased by $901,000, and securities
available-for-sale decreased $3.74 million.
Deposits
increased $6.07 million, or 3.07%, to $204.01 million at September 30, 2010 from
$197.94 million at June 30, 2010. Growth occurred primarily in checking
accounts. Management attributes the increase in these deposits to
increased marketing of checking accounts as well as customers’ desire to place
funds in safe, insured deposit accounts.
Advances
from the Federal Home Loan Bank and other borrowings decreased $5.25 million, or
7.81%, to $61.97 million from $67.22 million as a result of continued growth in
deposits. Federal fund purchases increased from zero to $1.06
million.
Total
shareholders’ equity increased $1.82 million or 3.47%, to $54.25 million at
September 30, 2010 from $52.43 million at June 30, 2010. This was a
result of net income for the period of $876,000 and by an increase in
accumulated other comprehensive income of $1.19 million (mainly due to an
increase in net unrealized gains on securities
available-for-sale). Most categories of securities had an increase in
fair value during the period. This was partially
offset by dividends paid.
Results
of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2010 and
2009
Net
Income. Eagle’s net income was $876,000 and $844,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 2010, and 2009, respectively. The
increase of $32,000, or 3.79%, was due to increases in net interest income of
$275,000 and noninterest income of $374,000, offset by increases in noninterest
expense of $462,000 and loan loss provision of $148,000. Eagle’s tax
provision was $7,000 higher in the current quarter. Basic earnings
per share were $0.22 for the current period, compared to $0.21(adjusted for the
3.8 to 1.0 exchange ratio in the second-step conversion) for the previous year’s
period.
Net Interest
Income. Net interest income increased to $2.66 million for the
quarter ended September 30, 2010, from $2.38 million for the previous year’s
quarter. This increase of $275,000 was the result of a slight
increase in interest and dividend income of $48,000 and a decrease in interest
expense of $227,000.
Interest and Dividend
Income. Total interest and dividend income was $3.77 million
for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to $3.72 million for the
quarter ended September 30, 2009, representing an increase of $48,000, or
1.29%. Interest and fees on loans increased to $2.81 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2010 from $2.71 million for the same period
ended September 30, 2009. This increase of $97,000, or 3.58%, was due
primarily to the increase in the average balances on loans for the quarter ended
September 30, 2010. Average balances for loans receivable, net, for
the quarter ended September 30, 2010 were $179.21 million, compared to $171.26
million for the previous year. This represents an increase of $7.95
million, or 4.64%. The average interest rate earned on loans
receivable decreased by 6 basis points, from 6.32% to 6.26%. Interest
and dividends on investment securities available-for-sale (AFS) decreased
slightly to $963,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 from $1.00 million
for the same quarter last year. Average balances on investments
increased to $112.61 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared
to $84.98 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The
average interest rate earned on investments decreased to 3.42% from
4.74%. Interest on deposits with banks decreased to $4,000 from
$8,000, due to a decrease in average balances. Average balances on
deposits with banks decreased to $2.52 million for the quarter ended September
30, 2010, compared to $8.12 million for the quarter ended September 30,
2009.
Interest
Expense. Total interest expense decreased to $1.11 million for
the quarter ended September 30, 2010, from $1.34 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 2009, a decrease of $227,000, or 16.93%, primarily due to
decreases in interest paid on deposits. Interest on deposits
decreased to $403,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, from $611,000
for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. This decrease of $208,000,
or 34.04%, was the result of a 0.52% decrease in average rates paid on deposit
accounts. Interest bearing checking accounts decreased in average
rates paid from 0.25% to 0.09%, and money market accounts decreased from 0.42%
to 0.20%. Average balances in interest-bearing deposit accounts
increased to $183.27 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared
to $174.80 million for the same quarter in the previous year. A small decrease
in the average balance of borrowings, partially offset by an increase in the
average rate paid, resulted in a decrease in interest paid on borrowings to
$636,000 versus $655,000 paid in the previous year’s quarter. The
average rate paid on borrowings increased from 4.13% last year to 4.18% this
year. The average rate paid on liabilities decreased 42 basis points
from the quarter ended September 30, 2009 to the quarter ended September 30,
2010.

Provision for Loan
Losses. Provisions for loan losses are charged to earnings to
maintain the total allowance for loan losses at a level considered adequate by
the Bank, to provide for probable loan losses based on prior loss experience,
volume and type of lending conducted by the Bank, national and local economic
conditions, and past due loans in its portfolio. The Bank’s policies
require a review of assets on a quarterly basis. The Bank classifies
loans as well as other assets if warranted. While the Bank believes
it uses the best information available to make a determination with respect to
the allowance for loan losses, it recognizes that future adjustments may be
necessary. The Bank took a $283,000 provision for loan losses for the
quarter ended September 30, 2010 versus $135,000 in the quarter ended September
30, 2009. This was due to an increase in loan delinquencies and to
the weakened local and national economy. Total real estate and other
assets acquired in settlement of loans, net of allowance for losses increased
from $619,000 at June 30, 2010 to $1.24 million at September 30,
2010.
Noninterest Income. Total
noninterest income increased to $1.44 million for the quarter ended September
30, 2010, from $1.06 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, an
increase of $374,000 or 35.25%. This increase is principally due to
an increase of $387,000 in net gain on sale of loans to $827,000 for the quarter
ended September 30, 2010 from $440,000 for the quarter ended September 30,
2009.
Noninterest
Expense. Noninterest expense increased by $462,000 or 21.97%
to $2.57 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, from $2.10 million
for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. This increase was primarily
due to increases in salaries and employee benefits of $62,000, occupancy costs
of $107,000, and amortization of mortgage servicing fees of
$133,000. The increase in salaries and employee benefits expense was
due to merit raises, and other inflationary items such as health insurance
premiums in addition to a slightly larger staff. The increase in
occupancy costs were due to the opening of the Oak Street branch in Bozeman,
Montana in October 2009. The increase in the amortization of mortgage
servicing rights resulted from an increase in refinance activity that occurred
during the quarter compared to the previous period. Other expense
categories showed minor changes.
Income Tax
Expense. Eagle’s income tax expense was $369,000 for the
quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to $362,000 for the quarter ended
September 30, 2009. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended
September 30, 2010 was 29.64% and was 30.02% for the quarter ended September 30,
2009.
Liquidity,
Interest Rate Sensitivity and Capital Resources
The Bank
is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as defined by the Office
of Thrift Supervision (OTS) regulations. The OTS has eliminated the
statutory requirement based upon a percentage of deposits and short-term
borrowings. The OTS states that the liquidity requirement is retained
for safety and soundness purposes, and that appropriate levels of liquidity will
depend upon the types of activities in which the company engages. For
internal reporting purposes, the Bank uses policy minimums of 1.0%, and 8.0% for
“basic surplus” and “basic surplus with FHLB” as internally
defined. In general, the “basic surplus” is a calculation of the
ratio of unencumbered short-term assets reduced by estimated percentages of CD
maturities and other deposits that may leave the Bank in the next 90 days
divided by total assets. “Basic surplus with FHLB” adds to “basic
surplus” the additional borrowing capacity the Bank has with the FHLB of
Seattle. The Bank exceeded those minimum ratios as of both September
30, 2010 and September 30, 2009.
The
Bank’s primary sources of funds are deposits, repayment of loans and
mortgage-backed and collateralized mortgage obligation securities, maturities of
investments, funds provided from operations, and advances from the Federal Home
Loan Bank of Seattle and other borrowings. Scheduled repayments of
loans and mortgage-backed and collateralized mortgage obligation securities and
maturities of investment securities are generally
predictable. However, other sources of funds, such as deposit flows
and loan prepayments, can be greatly influenced by the general level of interest
rates, economic conditions and competition. The Bank uses liquidity
resources principally to fund existing and future loan
commitments. It also uses them to fund maturing certificates of
deposit, demand deposit withdrawals and to invest in other loans and
investments, maintain liquidity, and meet operating expenses.
Liquidity
may be adversely affected by unexpected deposit outflows, higher interest rates
paid by competitors, and similar matters. Management monitors projected
liquidity needs and determines the level desirable, based in part on commitments
to make loans and management’s assessment of the bank’s ability to generate
funds.

Liquidity,
Interest Rate Sensitivity and Capital Resources - continued
At June
30, 2010 (the most recent report available), the Bank’s measure of sensitivity
to interest rate movements, as measured by the OTS in a 200 basis point rise in
interest rates scenario, decreased to 203 basis points from 240 basis
points at September 30, 2009. The Bank is well within the guidelines
set forth by the Board of Directors for interest rate risk
sensitivity. The Bank’s tier I core capital ratio, as measured by the
OTS, increased from 9.45% as of September 30, 2009 to 13.21% as of September 30,
2010. The Bank’s strong capital position helps to mitigate its
interest rate risk exposure.
As of
September 30, 2010, the Bank’s regulatory capital was in excess of all
applicable regulatory requirements. At September 30, 2010, the Bank’s
tangible, core, and risk-based capital ratios amounted to 13.21%, 13.21%, and
20.07%, respectively,
compared to regulatory requirements of 1.50%, 3.0%, and 8.0%,
respectively. See the following table (amounts in

Impact
of Inflation and Changing Prices
Our
financial statements and the accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of
financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without
considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time and
due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the
increased cost of our operations. Interest rates have a greater
impact on our performance than do the general levels of
inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same
direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and
services.

4. Controls and Procedures
As of the
end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation under the
supervision and with the participation of our management including our Chief
Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act,
to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed
or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commission’s rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to
be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange
Act is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO
concluded that as of September 30, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures
were effective. During the last fiscal quarter, there were no changes
in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in
connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules
13a-15 or 15d-15 that have materially affected, or were reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.
