NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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 six month period ended December 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012 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 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

The Company evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through February 13, 2012 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 April 5, 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 December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, 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 December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, there were, respectively, 30 and 37 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 2. INVESTMENT SECURITIES - continued

At December 31, 2011, 10 U.S. government and agency obligations had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of less than 0.05% 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.

At December 31, 2011, 11 municipal obligations had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of less than 8.55% from the Company’s amortized cost basis of these securities. We believe these unrealized losses are principally due to interest rate movements and recent credit concerns in the overall municipal bond market. As such, the Company determined that none of such securities had other-than-temporary impairment.

At December 31, 2011, 1 corporate obligation had an unrealized loss with aggregate depreciation of less than 13.44% from the Company's cost basis. This unrealized loss is principally due to changes in interest rates. No credit issues have been identified that cause management to believe the declines in market value are other than temporary. In analyzing the issuer's financial condition, management considers industry analysts' reports, financial performance and projected target prices of investment analysts within a one-year time frame. As management has the ability to hold debt securities until maturity, or for the foreseeable future if classified as available for sale, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary.

At December 31, 2011, 8 mortgage backed and CMO securities had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of less than 2.22% 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. One of the CMO securities is a non-agency security. At December 31, 2011 the fair value of this non-agency security was $157,000 with an unrealized loss of $65,000, or 29.41% 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 December 31, 2011 revealed no expected credit losses on these securities.

NOTE 4. TROUBLE DEBT RESTRUCTURINGS

The Company adopted the amendments in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-02 during the quarter ended September 30, 2011. As required, the Company reassessed all restructurings that occurred on or after the beginning of the current fiscal year (July 1, 2011) for identification as troubled debt restructurings. The Company identified as troubled debt restructurings certain receivables for which the allowance for credit losses had previously been measured under a general allowance for credit losses methodology (ASC 450-20). Upon identifying the reassessed receivables as troubled debt restructurings, the Company also identified them as impaired under the guidance in ASC 310-10-35. The amendments in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-02 require prospective application of the impairment measurement guidance in Section 310-10-35 for those receivables newly identified as impaired. As of December 31, 2011, the recorded investment in receivables for which the allowance for credit losses was previously measured under a general allowance for credit losses methodology and are now impaired under Section 310-10-35 was $123,000 (310-40-65-1(b)), and the allowance for credit losses associated with those receivables, on the basis of a current evaluation of loss, was $8,000 (310-40-65-1(b)).

Modification Categories

The Company offers a variety of modifications to borrowers. The modification categories offered can generally be described in the following categories:

Rate Modification – A modification in which the interest rate is changed.

Term Modification – A modification in which the maturity date, timing of payments, or frequency of payments is changed.

Interest Only Modification – A modification in which the loan is converted to interest only payments for a period of time.

Payment Modification – A modification in which the dollar amount of the payment is changed, other than an interest only modification described above.

Combination Modification – Any other type of modification, including the use of multiple categories above.

The Bank’s policy is that loans placed on non-accrual will typically remain on non-accrual status until all principal and interest payments are brought current and the prospect for future payment in accordance with the loan agreement appears relatively certain. The Bank’s policy generally refers to six months of payment performance as sufficient to warrant a return to accrual status.

NOTE 7. DIVIDENDS AND STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

For the fiscal year July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012, Eagle has paid dividends of $0.07125 per share on August 26, 2011 and on November 25, 2011. A dividend of $0.07125 per share was declared on January 24, 2012, payable March 2, 2012 to stockholders of record on February 10, 2012.

On April 26, 2011, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase program for 204,156 shares of common stock, effective April 27, 2011. The program is intended to be implemented through purchases made from time to time in the open market or through private transactions. The program terminated on December 27, 2011 with its final purchase of shares within the program.

On April 21, 2011, the Company entered into a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 written trading plan (“the Trading Plan”) with a broker to facilitate the repurchase of its shares of common stock, in conformity with the provisions of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. A broker selected by the Company will have the authority under the terms and limitations specified in the Trading Plan to repurchase shares on the Company’s behalf in accordance with the terms of the Trading Plan. The Trading Plan, which will facilitate the Company’s share repurchase program, went into effect on April 27, 2011 and may be terminated by the Company at any time. The Trading Plan enables the Company to continue to repurchase shares without suspension for self-imposed trading blackout periods. The shares to be repurchased under the Trading Plan would be in accordance with and subject to the limitations of the stock repurchase program.

After the expiration of the current Trading Plan, the Company may from time to time enter into subsequent trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 to facilitate the repurchase of its common stock pursuant to its share repurchase program. Information regarding share repurchases will be available in the Company’s periodic reports on Form 10-Q and 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as required by the applicable rules of the Exchange Act.

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. The interest rate swap agreement effectively converted the loan’s 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.

NOTE 8. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES - continued

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 hedged fixed rate loan 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 December 31, 2011, the loan had an outstanding principal balance of $11,700,000, and the interest rate swap had a notional value of $11,700,000.

NOTE 9: FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

FASB 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. 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.

NOTE 9: FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES - continued

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.

Available for Sale Securities – 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.

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.

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.

Repossessed Assets – Fair values are valued at the time the loan is foreclosed upon and the asset is transferred from loans. The value is based upon primary third party appraisals, less costs to sell. The appraisals are generally discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business. Such discounts are typically significant and result in Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Repossessed assets are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based on same or similar factors above.

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.

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.

The following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value (dollars in thousands):

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 financial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value (dollars in thousands):

During the quarter ended December 31, 2011, certain impaired loans were remeasured and reported at fair value through a specific valuation allowance allocation of the allowance for possible loan losses based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral. Impaired loans with a carrying value of $925,000 were reduced by specific valuation allowance allocations totaling $332,000 to a total reported fair value of $593,000 based on collateral valuations utilizing Level 3 valuation inputs.

Those financial instruments not subject to the implementation of FASB ASC 820 are required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, 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 December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, 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, interest-bearing accounts, accrued interest and dividend receivable, and accrued expenses and other liabilities – The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.

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 judgmentally determined using specific borrower information, internal credit quality analysis, and historical information on segmented loan categories for non-specific borrowers.

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.

NOTE 9: FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES - continued

Mortgage servicing rights – The fair value of servicing rights was determined using discount rates ranging from 9.0% to 20.0%, prepayment speeds ranging from 140% to 324% PSA, depending on stratification of the specific right. The fair value was also adjusted for the affect of potential past dues and foreclosures.

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 December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively if the borrowings repriced according to their stated terms.

Off-balance-sheet instruments - Fair values for off-balance-sheet, credit-related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The fair values of these financial instruments are considered insignificant. Additionally, those financial instruments have no carrying value.

NOTE 10. RECENTLY ISSUED PRONOUNCEMENTS

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-03, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) – Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements.” The amendments in this ASU remove from the assessment of effective control (1) the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee and (2) the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The guidance should be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” The objective of this ASU is to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income by eliminating the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The amendments require that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The single statement of comprehensive income should include the components of net income, a total for net income, the components of other comprehensive income, a total for other comprehensive income, and a total for comprehensive income. In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present all the components of other comprehensive income, a total for other comprehensive income, and a total for comprehensive income. The amendments do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income, the option for an entity to present components of other comprehensive income either net of related tax effects or before related tax effects, or the calculation or reporting of earnings per share. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively. The amendments are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted because compliance with the amendments is already permitted. The amendments do not require transition disclosures. The Company will comply with the new standard and has presented a separate statement of comprehensive income in this form 10-Q.

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 originating loans and investing in securities. . Recent federal legislation mandated that the consolidated regulatory functions of , The Office of Thrift Supervision(“OTS’)over the Bank and the Company be transferred to two federal agencies and that the OTS be merged into the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”). Thus, as a result of the enactment in July of 2010 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), the Federal Reserve Board (the “FRB”) became, as of July 21, 2011, the principal federal bank regulatory agency for the Company and the OCC the principal federal regulator for the Bank. The Bank’s charter was not affected and the Bank continues to operate, as a federal stock savings bank. Its deposits remain insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Because the Dodd-Frank Act did not eliminate the thrift charter under which the Bank has historically operated, the Bank’s traditional lending and investment activities should not be affected. Further, to ensure regulatory continuity, the Dodd-Frank Act requires that the OCC designate a new Deputy Comptroller who will be responsible for the supervision and examination of federal savings associations.

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 represented by single-family residential mortgages. The Bank has also successfully marketed 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 servicing portfolio which generates 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 servicing portfolio. Management believes that the Bank will need to continue to focus on increasing net interest margin, other areas of fee income, and control of 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 should 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 significant competition for deposits and it is likely that wholesale funding (which is usually more expensive than retail deposits) will 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 six months ended December 31, 2011.

Financial Condition

Comparisons of financial condition in this section are between December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011.

Total assets at December 31, 2011 were $331.87 million, an increase of $780,000, or 0.24%, from $331.09 million at June 30, 2011. This increase in assets was primarily attributable to increases in loans held for sale offset by decreases in securities available-for-sale and cash and cash equivalents.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Financial Condition - continued

Loans receivable decreased by $2.94 million, or 1.58%, to $182.54 million at December 31, 2011, from $185.47 million at June 30, 2011. The commercial real estate loan category had the largest increase, $3.47 million. Commercial loans not secured by real estate also increased by $1.90 million. Both home equity and consumer loans decreased moderately, while construction loans decreased by $1.45 million. Residential mortgages decreased by $5.04 million. Total loan originations were $69.61 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011, with single family mortgages accounting for $48.43 million of the total. Home equity and construction loan originations totaled $3.25 million and $2.18 million, respectively, for the same period. Commercial real estate and land loan originations totaled $7.02 million. Consumer and commercial loans originated totaled $2.25 million and $6.47 million, respectively. Loans held-for-sale increased to $9.40 million at December 31, 2011 from $1.8 million at June 30, 2011.

Total cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1.01 million, and securities available-for-sale decreased $5.02 million.

Deposits increased $5.98 million, or 2.86%, to $215.16 million at December 31, 2011 from $209.19 million at June 30, 2011. Growth occurred in all deposit products except certificates of deposits which decreased $2.54 million and money market accounts which decreased $1.39 million. Management attributes the overall increase in deposits to increased marketing of checking accounts as well as customers’ preference for placing funds in secure, federally insured accounts.

Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank and other borrowings decreased $7.10 million, or 11.66%, to $53.80 million from $60.90 million as a result of continued growth in deposits.

Total shareholders’ equity increased $706,000 or 1.35%, to $53.19 million at December 31, 2011 from $52.49 million at June 30, 2011. This was a result of net income for the period of $915,000 in addition to an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income of $675,000 (mainly due to an increase in net unrealized gains on securities available-for-sale). The increase was also partially offset by dividends paid for the period.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010

Net Income. Eagle’s net income declined to $487,000 versus $644,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The net income decrease of $157,000, or 24.38%, was due principally to a decrease in noninterest income of $322,000 caused by a decline in home mortgage refinancing activity, and increases in the provision for loan losses of $91,000. This was offset by an increase in net interest income of $189,000. Noninterest expense of $2.88 million was the same as the prior year’s quarter amount. Eagle’s tax provision was $67,000 lower in the current quarter. Basic earnings per share were $0.13 for the current period, compared to $0.17 for the previous year’s period.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased to $2.83 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, from $2.64 million for the previous year’s quarter. This increase of $189,000 was the result of a decrease in interest expense of $247,000 offset by a decrease in interest and dividend income of $58,000.

Interest and Dividend Income. Total interest and dividend income was $3.66 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, compared to $3.72 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, a decrease of $58,000, or 1.56%. Interest and fees on loans increased to $2.83 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 from $2.81 million for the same period ended December 31, 2010. This increase of $18,000, or 0.64%, was due primarily to the increase in the average balance of loans for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. Average balances for loans receivable, net, for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 were $191.73 million, compared to $184.22 million for the previous year. This represents an increase of $7.51 million, or 4.08%. The average interest rate earned on loans receivable decreased by 21 basis points, from 6.11% to 5.90%. Interest and dividends on investment securities available-for-sale (AFS) decreased to $827,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 from $901,000 for the same quarter last year. Average balances on investments decreased to $100.59 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, from $104.25 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010. The average interest rate earned on investments decreased to 3.29% from 3.46%. Interest on deposits with banks decreased to $3,000 from $5,000, due to a decrease in the average balances. Average balances on deposits with banks decreased to $3.42 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, compared to $6.16 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010. The average rates on deposits with banks increased from 0.32% at December 31, 2010 to 0.35% at December 31, 2011.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 - continued

Interest Expense. Total interest expense declined significantly in the quarter to $828,000 from $1.08 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, a decrease of $247,000, or 22.98%. The decrease was attributable to decreases in interest on deposits and borrowings offset by growth in average deposit balances. Decreases in rates on deposits caused a decline in deposit interest expense of $88,000, or 24.38% over the quarter ended December 31, 2010. The decrease was attributable to a decrease in average rates paid on all deposit products. For example, interest bearing checking account rates declined from 0.07% to 0.05%, and money market accounts decreased from 0.16% to 0.13%. This decline was offset by increases in average balances during the period. Average balances in interest-bearing deposit accounts increased to $190.74 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, compared to $184.96 million for the same quarter in the previous year. Average balances in borrowings decreased to $62.32 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, compared to $68.54 million for the same quarter in the previous year. A decrease in the average rate paid, along with the decrease in average borrowing balances resulted in a decrease in interest paid on borrowings to $532,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 versus $647,000 paid in the previous year’s quarter. The average rate paid on borrowings decreased from 4.17% last year to 3.56% for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. The average rate paid on all liabilities decreased 39 basis points from the quarter ended December 31, 2010 to the quarter ended December 31, 2011.

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 management of 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 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 recorded $325,000 in provision for loan losses for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 and $234,000 in the quarter ended December 31, 2010. This increase over 2010 was based on an analysis of a variety of factors including delinquencies within the loan portfolio. Total nonperforming loans increased from $2.38 million at December 31, 2010 to $3.58 million at December 31, 2011. The Bank currently has $2.21 million in foreclosed real estate property and other repossessed property with a net book value of $2.02 million.

Noninterest Income. Last year due to significant declines in long term interest rates, the Bank experienced significant refinancing activity in residential real estate. Though long-term rates remain at historic low levels, the refinance activity declined in the current quarter compared to the prior year’s period. This decreased activity had a significant effect on the amount of non-interest income with total noninterest income decreasing to $1.08 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, from $1.40 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, a decrease of $322,000 or 23.05%. Of this amount net gain on sale of loans decreased to $403,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 from $802,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2010. During this period, $31.38 million 1-4 family mortgage loans were originated compared to $41.11 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2010. In addition, $24.61 million of mortgage loans were sold during the period compared to $42.92 million sold in the quarter ended December 31, 2010. Also, a net loss on the fair value hedge was incurred during this period of $44,000 compared to a net gain in the prior year of $183,000.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense was $2.88 million for both quarters ended December 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010. Though most items were fairly similar, consulting fees increased to $308,000 from $31,000, an increase of $277,000. This increase was primarily due to costs associated with the exploration of potential acquisition opportunities. Amortization of mortgage servicing rights decreased from $440,000 to $174,000, a decrease of $266,000. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the refinance activity described above. Other expense categories showed minor changes.

Income Tax Expense. Eagle’s income tax expense was $215,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, compared to $282,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2010. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 was 30.63% and was 30.45% for the quarter ended December 31, 2010.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010

Net Income. Eagle’s net income was $915,000 and $1.52 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease of $605,000, or 39.80%, was due to decreases in noninterest income of $1.19 million, and increases in loan loss provision of $66,000, offset by increases in net interest income of $290,000, and decreases in noninterest expense of $110,000. The tax provision was $249,000 lower in the current period. Basic earnings per share declined to $0.25 for the current period, compared to $0.39 for the previous year’s period.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased to $5.59 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011, from $5.30 million for the previous year’s period. This increase of $290,000 was the result of a decrease in interest expense of $467,000 offset by a decrease in interest and dividend income of $177,000.

Interest and Dividend Income. Total interest and dividend income was $7.31 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $7.49 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010, representing a decrease of $177,000, or 2.36%. Interest and fees on loans decreased slightly to $5.61 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011 from $5.62 million for the same period ended December 31, 2010. Average balances for loans receivable, net, for the six months ended December 31, 2011 were $189.69 million, compared to $181.72 million for the previous year an increase of $7.97 million, or 4.39%. The average interest rate earned on loans receivable decreased by 27 basis points, from 6.18% to 5.91%. Interest and dividends on investment securities available-for-sale (AFS) decreased slightly to $1.70 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011 from $1.86 million for the same period last year. Average balances on investments decreased to $101.73 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $110.28 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010. The average interest rate earned on investments decreased to 3.34% from 3.38%. Interest on deposits with banks remained the same at $9,000 for both periods. The average balance on deposits with banks increased from $4.34 million up to $6.19 million while the average rate earned dropped from 0.42% to 0.26%.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense decreased to $1.72 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011, from $2.19 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010, a decrease of $467,000, or 21.33%, primarily due to decreases in interest paid on deposits. Interest on deposits decreased to $562,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2011, from $764,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2010. This decrease of $202,000, or 26.44%, was the result of a 24 basis point decrease in average rates paid on deposit accounts. Interest bearing checking accounts also decreased to an average rate paid of 0.06% from 0.08%, and money market accounts decreased to 0.13% from 0.19%. Average balances in interest-bearing deposit accounts increased to $191.11 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $184.04 million for the same period in the previous year. A decrease in the average balance of borrowings, in addition to a decrease in the average rate paid, resulted in a decrease in interest paid on borrowings to $1.16 million versus $1.43 million paid in the same period ended December 31, 2010. The average rate paid on borrowings decreased from 4.11% last year to 3.63% this year. The average rate paid on liabilities decreased 0.38% from the six months ended December 31, 2010 to the six months ended December 31, 2011.

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 management of 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 $583,000 in provision for loan losses for the six months ended December 31, 2011 versus $517,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2010. 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 $1.18 million at June 30, 2011 to $2.02 million at December 31, 2011.

Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income decreased to $1.64 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011, from $2.83 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010, a decrease of $1.19 million or 41.95%. This decrease stemmed from a decline in refinancing activity and resulted in a decrease of $990,000 in net gain on sale of loans to $639,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2011 from $1.63 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010. Also, a net loss on the fair value hedge was $374,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2011, while it was a net gain of $198,000 for the six month period ended December 31, 2010, a swing of $572,000. Though the hedge is considered to be effective, a portion does run through noninterest income.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 - continued

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense decreased by $110,000 or 2.02% to $5.36 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011, from $5.45 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in amortization of mortgage servicing rights of $432,000. The decrease in the amortization of mortgage servicing rights resulted from a decrease in refinance activity that occurred during the period compared to the previous period. Consulting fees also increased $337,000. This increase was primarily due to costs associated with the exploration of potential acquisition opportunities. Other expense categories showed minor changes.

Income Tax Expense. Eagle’s income tax expense was $402,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $651,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2010. The effective tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2011 was 30.52% and was 29.99% for the six months ended December 31, 2010.

Liquidity, Interest Rate Sensitivity and Capital Resources

The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as defined by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) regulations. The OCC has eliminated the statutory requirement based upon a percentage of deposits and short-term borrowings. The OCC 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 December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

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.

At September 30, 2011 (the most recent report available), the Bank’s measure of sensitivity to interest rate movements, as measured by the OCC in a 200 basis point rise in interest rates scenario, decreased to 207 basis points from 187 basis points at June 30, 2011. 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 under OCC rules, increased from 12.96% as of December 31, 2010 to 13.19% as of December 31, 2011. The Bank’s strong capital position helps to mitigate its interest rate risk exposure.

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.
