ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
General
Eagle Bancorp (Eagle) is a federally chartered stock holding company. Its
charter was approved on April 4, 2000, when it became the mid-tier stock holding
company for American Federal Savings Bank (the Bank), a federally chartered
stock savings bank headquartered in Helena, Montana. Eagle Bancorp's principal
business is to hold the capital stock of American Federal Savings Bank. Upon the
reorganization and conversion to stock form of American Federal Savings Bank,
Eagle Bancorp issued 575,079 shares of its common stock, par value $.01 per
share (the "Common Stock") to the public at a price of $8 per share. This
represents approximately 47% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Common
Stock. The remaining 648,493 shares of the Common Stock are held by Eagle
Financial MHC, Eagle Bancorp's mutual holding company.
American Federal Savings Bank was founded in 1922 as a Montana chartered
building and loan association and has conducted operations in Helena since that
time. In 1975, the Bank adopted a federal thrift charter. We currently have four
full service offices and one satellite branch. We also have six automated teller
machines located in our market area and we participate in the CashCard ATM
network.
Business Strategy
Since our founding in Helena in 1922, we have operated in the southcentral
portion of Montana. Since the advent of NOW accounts and low and no cost
checking or other transaction accounts, we have sought to operate in a fashion
similar to a commercial bank offering these kinds of deposits and changing our
emphasis on home mortgage lending by broadening and diversifying the kind of
loans we offer. As a result of these efforts, we provide full retail banking
services, including one- to four-family residential mortgage loans, home equity
loans, lines of credit, consumer loans, commercial real estate loans and
commercial loans for businesses as well as certificates of deposit, checking
accounts, NOW accounts, savings accounts and money market accounts.
We attract deposits from the general public and use these deposits primarily to
originate loans and to purchase investment and mortgage-backed and other
securities. The principal sources of funds for lending and investing activities
are deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank advances, the repayment, sale and maturity
of loans and sale and maturity of securities. The principal sources of income
are interest on loans and investments. The principal expense is interest paid on
deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank advances.
Market Area
From our headquarters in Helena, Montana, we operate four full service offices,
including our main office, and one satellite branch. Our satellite branch is
located in Helena and our other full service branches are located in Bozeman
(opened 1980), Butte (opened 1979) and Townsend (opened 1979), Montana.
Montana is one of the largest states in terms of land mass but ranks as one of
the least populated states. As of the 2000 census it had a population of
902,000. Helena, where we are headquartered, is the county seat of Lewis and
Clark County, which has a population of approximately 55,700 and is located
within 120 miles of four of Montana's other five largest cities: Missoula, Great
Falls, Bozeman and Butte. It is approximately midway between Yellowstone and
Glacier National Parks. Helena is also Montana's state capital. Its economy has
shown slow growth, in terms of both employment and income. State government and
the numerous offices of the federal government comprise the largest employment
sector. Helena also has significant employment in the service industries.
Specifically, it has evolved into a central health care center with employment
in the medical and the supporting professions as well as the medical insurance
industry. The local economy is also dependent to a lesser extent upon ranching
and agriculture. These have
1
been more cyclical in nature and remain vulnerable to severe weather conditions,
increased competition, both domestic and international, as well as commodity
prices.
Bozeman is approximately 95 miles southeast of Helena. It is located in Gallatin
County, which has a population of approximately 67,800. Bozeman is home to
Montana State University and has achieved its recent growth in part due to the
growth of the University as well as the increased tourism for resort areas in
and near Bozeman. Agriculture, however, remains an important part of Bozeman's
economy. Bozeman has also become an attractive location for retirees, primarily
from the West Coast, owing to its many winter and summer recreational
opportunities and the presence of the University. Residential construction in
Bozeman has increased more rapidly than such construction in Helena and the
other cities in which we operate.
Butte, Montana is approximately 64 miles southwest of Helena. Butte and the
surrounding Silverbow County have a population of approximately 34,600. Butte's
population has declined as a result of the decline in the mining , energy, and
telecommunications industries, which had afforded many higher paying jobs to
residents of Butte and Silverbow County.
Townsend is the smallest community in which we operate. It has a population of
about 2,000. Many of its residents commute to other Montana locations for work.
Other employment in Townsend is primarily in agriculture and services. Townsend
is approximately 32 miles southeast of Helena.
Competition
We face strong competition in our primary market area for the attraction of
retail deposits and the origination of loans. Until recently Montana was a unit
banking state. This means that the ability of Montana state banks to create
branches was either prohibited or significantly restricted. As a result of unit
banking, Montana has a significant number of independent financial institutions
serving a single community in a single location. While the state's population is
approximately 902,000 people, there are approximately 73 credit unions in
Montana as well as three federally chartered thrift institutions, and 80
commercial banks as of December 31, 2002. Our most direct competition for
depositors has historically come from locally owned and out-of-state commercial
banks, thrift institutions and credit unions operating in our primary market
area. The number of such competitor locations has increased significantly in
recent years. Our competition for loans also comes from banks, thrifts and
credit unions in addition to mortgage bankers and brokers. Our principal market
areas can be characterized as markets with moderately increasing incomes, low
unemployment, increasing wealth (particularly in the growing resort areas such
as Bozeman), and moderate population growth.
Lending Activities
General.
American Federal Savings Bank primarily originates one- to four-family
residential real estate loans and, to a lesser extent commercial real estate
loans, real estate construction loans, home equity loans, consumer loans and
commercial loans. Commercial real estate loans include loans on multi-family
dwellings, loans on nonresidential property and loans on developed and
undeveloped land. Home equity loans include loans secured by the borrower's
primary residence. Typically, the property securing such loans is subject to a
prior lien. Consumer loans consist of loans secured by collateral other than
real estate, such as automobiles, recreational vehicles and boats. Personal
loans and lines of credit are made on deposits held by the Bank and on an
unsecured basis. Commercial loans consist of business loans and lines of credit
on a secured and unsecured basis.

Fee Income.
American Federal Savings Bank receives lending related fee income from a variety
of sources. Its principal source of this income is from the origination and
subsequent servicing of sold mortgage loans. Fees generated from mortgage loan
servicing, which generally consists of collecting mortgage payments, maintaining
escrow accounts, disbursing payments to investors and foreclosure processing for
loans held by others, were $436,000 and $305,000 for the years ended June 30,
2003 and 2002, respectively. A write-down of the mortgage servicing rights in
the amount of $735,000 was realized in 2003. This amount is netted against
mortgage loan servicing fees in the Company's income statement. Other loan
related fee income for contract collections, late charges, credit life
commissions and credit card fees were $97,000 and $95,000 for the years ended
June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Loan Maturity Schedule.
The following table sets forth the estimated maturity of the loan portfolio of
the Bank at June 30, 2003. Scheduled principal repayments of loans do not
necessarily reflect the actual life of such assets. The average life of a loan
is typically substantially less than its contractual terms because of
prepayments. In addition, due on sale clauses on loans generally give American
Federal Savings Bank the right to declare loans immediately due and payable in
the event, among other things, that the borrower sells the real property,
subject to the mortgage, and the loan is not paid off. All mortgage loans are
shown to be maturing based on the date of the last payment required by the loan
agreement, except as noted. Loans having no stated maturity, those without a
scheduled payment, demand loans and delinquent loans, are shown as due within
six months.

Residential Lending
American Federal Savings Bank's primary lending activity consists of the
origination of one-to-four-family residential mortgage loans secured by property
located in the Bank's market area. Approximately 48.24% of the bank's loans as
of June 30, 2003 were comprised of such loans. American Federal Savings Bank
generally originates one- to four-family residential mortgage loans in amounts
up to 80% of the lesser of the appraised value or the selling price of the
mortgaged property without requiring private mortgage insurance. A mortgage loan
originated by the Bank, whether fixed rate or adjustable rate, can have a term
of up to 30 years. American Federal Savings Bank holds substantially all of its
adjustable rate and its 8, 10 and 12 year fixed rate loans in portfolio.
Adjustable rate loans limit the periodic interest rate adjustment and the
minimum and maximum rates that may be charged over the term of the loan. The
Bank's fixed rate 15-year loans are held in portfolio or sold in the secondary
market depending on market conditions. All 30 year fixed rate loans are sold in
the secondary market. The volume of loan sales is dependent on the volume, type
and term of loan originations.
5
American Federal Savings Bank obtains a significant portion of its noninterest
income from servicing loans sold. American Federal Savings Bank offers many of
the fixed rate loans it originates for sale in the secondary market on a
servicing retained basis. This means that we process the borrower's payments and
send them to the purchaser. The retention of servicing enables the Bank to
increase fee income and maintain a relationship with the borrower. Servicing
income was $436,000 (before additions to the valuation allowance on Mortgage
Servicing Rights) for the year ended June 30, 2003. At June 30, 2003, American
Federal Savings Bank had $193.39 million in loans sold with servicing retained.
American Federal Savings Bank does not ordinarily purchase home mortgage loans
from other financial institutions.
Property appraisals on real estate securing the Bank's single-family residential
loans are made by state certified and licensed independent appraisers who are
approved annually by the board of directors. Appraisals are performed in
accordance with applicable regulations and policies. American Federal Savings
Bank generally obtains title insurance policies on all first mortgage real
estate loans originated. On occasion, refinancings of mortgage loans are
approved using title reports instead of title insurance. Title reports are also
allowed on home equity loans. Borrowers generally remit funds with each monthly
payment of principal and interest, to a loan escrow account from which American
Federal Savings Bank makes disbursements for such items as real estate taxes and
hazard and mortgage insurance premiums as they become due.
Home Equity Loans.
American Federal Savings Bank also originates home equity loans. These loans are
secured by the borrowers' primary real estate, but are typically subject to a
prior lien, which may or may not be held by the Bank. At June 30, 2003, $13.79
million or 14.65% of our total loans, were home equity loans. Borrowers may use
the proceeds from the Bank's home equity loans for many purposes, including home
improvement, debt consolidation, or other purchasing needs. The Bank offers
fixed rate, fixed payment home equity loans as wells as variable rate home
equity lines of credit. Fixed rate home equity loans typically have terms of no
longer than fifteen years.
Although home equity loans are secured by real estate, they carry a greater risk
than first lien residential mortgages because of the existence of a prior lien
on the property securing the loan, as well as the flexibility the borrower has
with respect to the loan proceeds. American Federal Savings Bank attempts to
minimize this risk by maintaining conservative underwriting policies on such
loans. We make home equity loans for up to only 85% of appraised value of the
underlying real estate collateral, less the amount of any existing prior liens
on the property securing the loan.
Commercial Real Estate.
American Federal Savings Bank originates commercial real estate mortgage loans,
including both developed and undeveloped land loans, and loans on multi-family
dwellings. Commercial real estate loans make up 19.99% of the Bank's total loan
portfolio, or $18.82 million at June 30, 2003. The majority of these loans are
non-residential commercial real estate loans. American Federal Savings Bank's
commercial real estate mortgage loans are primarily permanent loans secured by
improved property such as office buildings, retail stores, commercial warehouses
and apartment buildings. The terms and conditions of each loan are tailored to
the needs of the borrower and based on the financial strength of the project and
any guarantors. Generally, commercial real estate loans originated by the Bank
will not exceed 75% of the appraised value or the selling price of the property,
whichever is less. The average loan size is approximately $133,000 (after
excluding the single largest loan) and is typically made with fixed rates of
interest with five to 15 year maturities. Upon maturity, the loan is repaid or
the terms and conditions are renegotiated. Generally, all originated commercial
real estate loans are within the market area of the Bank and all are within the
state of Montana. American Federal Savings Bank's largest single commercial real
estate loan had a balance of approximately $9,255,000 on June 30, 2003, and was
secured by a commercial building. This loan contains a 90 percent government
guaranty under the USDA Rural Development Program. The Bank has committed to
sell the guaranteed portion of the loan to a secondary market investor by
January 2004.
Real Estate Construction Lending.
American Federal Savings Bank also lends funds for the construction of one- to
four-family homes. Real estate construction loans are made both to individual
homeowners for the construction of their primary residence and to a lesser
extent, to local builders for the construction of pre-sold houses or houses that
are being built for speculative purposes. Real estate construction loans
accounted for $3.80 million or 4.04% of American Federal's loan portfolio at
June 30, 2003.
6
Consumer Loans.
As part of its strategy to invest in higher yielding shorter term loans,
American Federal Savings Bank has made significant efforts to grow its consumer
lending portfolio. This portfolio includes personal loans secured by collateral
other than real estate, unsecured personal loans and lines of credit, and loans
secured by deposits held by the Bank. As of June 30, 2003, consumer loans
totaled $9.28 million or 9.86% of the Bank's total loan portfolio. These loans
consist primarily of auto loans, RV loans, boat loans, personal loans and credit
lines and deposit account loans. Consumer loans are originated in the Bank's
market area and generally have maturities of up to 7 years. For loans secured by
savings accounts, American Federal Savings Bank will lend up to 90% of the
account balance on single payment loans and up to 100% for monthly payment
loans.
Consumer loans have a shorter term and generally provide higher interest rates
than residential loans. Consumer loans can be helpful in improving the spread
between average loan yield and cost of funds and at the same time improve the
matching of the maturities of rate sensitive assets and liabilities. Increasing
its consumer loans has been a major part of the Bank's strategy of operating
more like a commercial bank than a traditional savings bank.
The underwriting standards employed by American Federal Savings Bank for
consumer loans include a determination of the applicant's credit history and an
assessment of the applicant's ability to meet existing obligations and payments
on the proposed loan. The stability of the applicant's monthly income may be
determined by verification of gross monthly income from primary employment, and
additionally from any verifiable secondary income. Creditworthiness of the
applicant is of primary consideration; however, the underwriting process also
includes a comparison of the value of the collateral in relation to the proposed
loan amount.
Commercial Loans.
Commercial loans amounted to $3.03 million, or 3.22% of the Bank's total loan
portfolio at June 30, 2003. American Federal Savings Bank's commercial loans are
traditional business loans and are not secured by real estate. Such loans may be
structured as unsecured lines of credit or may be secured by inventory, accounts
receivable or other business assets. While the commercial loan portfolio amounts
to only 3.22% of the total portfolio at June 30, 2003, American Federal Savings
Bank intends to increase such lending by focusing on market segments which it
has not previously emphasized, such as business loans to doctors, lawyers,
architects and other professionals as well as to small businesses within its
market area. Our management believes that this strategy provides opportunities
for growth, without significant additional cost outlays for staff and
infrastructure.
Commercial loans of this nature usually involve greater risk than 1-4 family
residential mortgage loans. The collateral we receive is typically related
directly to the performance of the borrower's business which means that
repayment of commercial loans is dependent on the successful operations and
income stream of the borrower's business. Such risks can be significantly
affected by economic conditions. In addition, commercial lending generally
requires substantially greater oversight efforts compared to residential real
estate lending.
Loans to One Borrower.
Under federal law, savings institutions have, subject to certain exemptions,
lending limits to one borrower in an amount equal to the greater of $500,000 or
15% of the institution's unimpaired capital and surplus. As of June 30, 2003,
our largest aggregation of loans to one borrower was $9,255,321, consisting of
one loan secured primarily by commercial real estate. After deducting the
government guaranteed portion (90%) from the outstanding balance, this was well
below our federal legal lending limit to one borrower of approximately $3.36
million at such date. At June 30, 2003, this loan was current.
Loan Solicitation and Processing.
Our customary sources of mortgage loan applications include repeat customers,
walk-ins, and referrals from home builders and real estate brokers. We also
advertise in local newspapers and on local radio and television. Our branch
managers and loan officers located at our headquarters and in branches, have
authority to approve certain types of loans when presented with a completed
application. Other loans must be approved at our main offices as disclosed
herein. No loan consultants or loan brokers are currently used by us for either
residential or commercial lending activities.
After receiving a loan application from a prospective borrower, a credit report
and verifications are ordered to confirm specific information relating to the
loan applicant's employment, income and credit standing. When required by our
policies, an appraisal of the real estate intended to secure the proposed loan
is undertaken by an independent fee
7
appraiser. In connection with the loan approval process, our staff analyze the
loan applications and the property involved. Officers and branch managers are
granted lending authority based on the kind of loan types where they possess
expertise and their level of experience. We have established a series of loan
committees to approve any loans which may exceed the lending authority of
particular officers or branch managers. A quorum of the board of directors is
required for approval of any loan, or aggregation of loans to a single borrower,
more than $950,000.
Loan applicants are promptly notified of the decision by a letter setting forth
the terms and conditions of the decision. If approved, these terms and
conditions include the amount of the loan, interest rate basis, amortization
term, a brief description of real estate to be mortgaged, tax escrow and the
notice of requirement of insurance coverage to be maintained. We generally
require title insurance on first mortgage loans and fire and casualty insurance
on all properties securing loans, which insurance must be maintained during the
entire term of the loan.
Loan Commitments.
We generally provide commitments to fund fixed and adjustable-rate single-family
mortgage loans for periods up to 60 days at a specified term and interest rate.
The total amount of our commitments to extend credit as of June 30, 2003, was
approximately $4.14 million.
Non-performing Loans and Problem Assets
Collection Procedures
Generally, our collection procedures provide that when a loan is 15 or more days
delinquent, the borrower is notified with a past due notice. If the loan becomes
30 days delinquent, the borrower is sent a written delinquent notice requiring
payment. If the delinquency continues, subsequent efforts are made to contact
the delinquent borrower, including face to face meetings and counseling to
resolve the delinquency. All collection actions are undertaken with the
objective of compliance with the Fair Debt Collection Act.
For mortgage loans and home equity loans, if the borrower is unable to cure the
delinquency or reach a payment agreement, we will institute foreclosure actions.
If a foreclosure action is taken and the loan is not reinstated, paid in full or
refinanced, the property is sold at judicial sale at which we may be the buyer
if there are no adequate offers to satisfy the debt. Any property acquired as
the result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is classified as
real estate owned until such time as it is sold or otherwise disposed of. When
real estate owned is acquired, it is recorded at the lower of the unpaid
principal balance of the related loan or its fair market value less estimated
selling costs. The initial recording of any loss is charged to the allowance for
loan losses. As of June 30, 2003, American Federal Savings Bank had $70,000 of
real estate owned consisting of one single-family residential property located
in East Helena. Subsequent to year-end, the Bank has accepted an offer on the
property which exceeds its book value.
Loans are reviewed on a quarterly basis and are placed on non-accrual status
when they are more than 90 days delinquent. Loans may be placed on non-accrual
status at any time if, in the opinion of management, the collection of
additional interest is doubtful. Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan
is placed on non-accrual status is charged against interest income. Subsequent
payments are either applied to the outstanding principal balance or recorded as
interest income, depending on the assessment of the ultimate collectibility of
the loan. At June 30, 2003, we had $610,000 of loans that were non-performing
and held on non-accrual status.

The increase in non-accrual loans during the year ended June 30, 2003, was
attributable primarily to a $249,000 commercial loan which was placed in
non-accrual status. During the year ended June 30, 2003, the Bank had one
foreclosure.
During the year ended June 30, 2003, approximately $20,000 of interest would
have been recorded on loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis if such loans
had been current according to the original loan agreements for the entire
period. This amount was not included in the Bank's interest income for the
period.
Classified Assets.
Management, in compliance with regulatory guidelines, conducts an internal loan
review program, whereby loans are placed or classified in categories depending
upon the level of risk of nonpayment or loss. These categories are special
mention, substandard, doubtful or loss. When a loan is classified as substandard
or doubtful, management is required to establish an allowance for loan losses in
an amount that is deemed prudent. When management classifies a loan as a loss
asset, a reserve equal to 100% of the loan balance is required to be established
or the loan is required to be charged-off. The allowance for loan losses is
composed of an allowance for both inherent risk associated with lending
activities and particular problem assets.
9
Management's evaluation of the classification of assets and the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses is reviewed by the Board on a regular basis and by the
regulatory agencies as part of their examination process. In addition, each loan
that exceeds $200,000 and each group of loans that exceeds $200,000 is monitored
more closely. The following table reflects our classified assets.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Real Estate Owned.
American Federal Savings Bank segregates its loan portfolio for loan losses into
the following broad categories: residential mortgages (1-4 family), commercial
real estate, real estate construction, commercial loans, home equity loans and
consumer loans. American Federal Savings Bank provides for a general allowance
for losses inherent in the portfolio by the above categories, which consists of
two components. General loss percentages are calculated based on historical
analyses and other factors. A supplemental portion of the allowance is
calculated for inherent losses which probably exist as of the evaluation date
even though they might not have been identified by the more objective processes
used. This is due to the risk of error and/or inherent imprecision in the
process. This portion of the allowance is particularly subjective and requires
judgments based on qualitative factors which do not lend themselves to exact
mathematical calculations such as: trends in delinquencies and non-accruals;
trends in volume; terms and portfolio mix; new credit products; changes in
lending policies and procedures; changes in the outlook for the local, regional
and national economy; and peer group comparisons.
At least quarterly, the management of the Bank evaluates the need to establish
reserves against losses on loans and other assets based on estimated losses on
specific loans and on any real estate owned when a finding is made that a loss
is estimable and probable. Such evaluation includes a review of all loans for
which full collectibility may not be
10
reasonably assured and considers; among other matters; the estimated market
value of the underlying collateral of problem loans; prior loss experience;
economic conditions; and overall portfolio quality.
Provisions for losses are charged against earnings in the period they are
established. We had $673,000 in allowances for loan losses at June 30, 2003.
While we believe we have established our existing allowance for loan losses in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, there can be no
assurance that regulators, in reviewing our loan portfolio, will not request
that we significantly increase our allowance for loan losses, or that general
economic conditions, a deteriorating real estate market, or other factors will
not cause us to significantly increase our allowance for loan losses, therefore
negatively affecting our financial condition and earnings.
In making loans, we recognize that credit losses will be experienced and that
the risk of loss will vary with, among other things, the type of loan being
made, the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan and, in the
case of a secured loan, the quality of the security for the loan.
It is our policy to review our loan portfolio, in accordance with regulatory
classification procedures, on at least a quarterly basis. Additionally, we
maintain a program of reviewing loan applications prior to making the loan and
immediately after loans are made in an effort to maintain loan quality.

loan losses at the dates indicated:

Investment Activities
General
Federally chartered savings banks such as American Federal Savings Bank have
the authority to invest in various types of investment securities, including
United States Treasury obligations, securities of various Federal agencies
(including securities collateralized by mortgages), certificates of deposits of
insured banks and savings institutions, municipal securities, corporate debt
securities and loans to other banking institutions.
Eagle maintains liquid assets that may be invested in specified short-term
securities and other investments. Liquidity levels may be increased or decreased
depending on the yields on investment alternatives. They may also be increased
based on management's judgment as to the attractiveness of the yields then
available in relation to other opportunities. Liquidity levels can also change
based on management's expectation of future yield levels, as well as
management's projections as to the short-term demand for funds to be used in the
Bank's loan origination and other activities. Eagle maintains an investment
securities portfolio and a mortgage-backed securities portfolio as part of its
investment portfolio.
Investment Policies.
The investment policy of Eagle, which is established by the board of directors,
is designed to foster earnings and liquidity within prudent interest rate risk
guidelines, while complementing American Federal's lending activities. The
policy provides for available-for-sale, held-to-maturity and trading
classifications. However, Eagle does not hold any securities for purposes of
trading and does not anticipate doing so in the future. The policy permits
investments in high credit quality instruments with diversified cash flows while
permitting us to maximize total return within the guidelines set forth in our
interest rate risk and liquidity management policies. Permitted investments
include but are not limited to U.S. government obligations, government agency or
government-sponsored agency obligations, state, county and municipal
obligations, and mortgage-backed securities. Collateralized mortgage
obligations, investment grade corporate debt securities, and commercial paper
are also included. We also invest in Federal Home Loan Bank overnight deposits
and federal funds, but these instruments are not considered part of the
investment portfolio.
Our investment policy also includes several specific guidelines and restrictions
to insure adherence with safe and sound activities. The policy prohibits
investments in high-risk mortgage derivative products (as defined within the
policy) without prior approval from the board of directors. Management must
demonstrate the business advantage of such investments. We do not participate in
hedging programs, interest rate swaps, or other activities involving the use of
off-balance sheet derivative financial instruments, except certain financial
instruments designated as cash flow hedges
12
related to loans committed to be sold in the secondary market. Further, Eagle
does not invest in securities which are not rated investment grade.
The board through its asset liability committee has charged the Chief Financial
Officer to implement the investment policy. All transactions are reported to the
board of directors monthly, as well as the current composition of the portfolio,
including market values and unrealized gains and losses.
Investment Securities.
We maintain a portfolio of investment securities, classified as either
available-for-sale or held-to-maturity to enhance total return on investments.
At June 30, 2003, our investment securities were U.S. government and agency
obligations, Small Business Administration pools, municipal securities,
mortgage-backed securities and corporate obligations, all with varying
characteristics as to rate, maturity and call provisions. Investment securities
held-to-maturity represented 2.88% of Eagle's total investment portfolio.
Securities available-for-sale totaled 97.12% of Eagle's total investment
portfolio.
Corporate Debt.
We also invest in corporate securities. Corporate bonds may offer a higher yield
than a U.S. Treasury security of comparable duration. These debt instruments
also may have a higher risk of default due to adverse change in the
creditworthiness of the issuer. Our policy limits investments in corporate bonds
to securities rated investment grade or better. At June 30, 2003, 8.08% of our
investment portfolio consisted of corporate obligations.
Mortgage-backed Securities and Small Business Administration Loan Pools.
We invest in mortgage-backed securities to provide earnings, liquidity, cash
flows and diversification to our overall balance sheet. These mortgage-backed
securities are classified as either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity.
These securities are participation certificates issued and guaranteed by the
Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and
secured by interests in pools of mortgages. Mortgage-backed securities typically
represent a participation interest in a pool of single-family or multi-family
mortgages, although we focus on investments in mortgage-backed securities
secured by single-family mortgages. Expected maturities will differ from the
maturities actually set forth in the loans in the pools due to scheduled
repayments and because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay
obligations with or without prepayment penalties.
Mortgage-backed securities typically are issued with stated principal amounts.
The securities are backed by pools of mortgages that have loans with interest
rates that are within a set range and have varying maturities. The underlying
pool of mortgages can be composed of either fixed-rate or adjustable rate
mortgage loans. Mortgage-backed securities are generally referred to as mortgage
participation certificates or pass-through certificates. The interest rate risk
characteristics of the underlying pool of mortgages (i.e., fixed-rate or
adjustable-rate) and the prepayment risk, are passed on to the certificate
holder. The life of a mortgage-backed pass-through security is equal to the life
of the underlying mortgages. At June 30, 2003, 37.24% of our investment
portfolio (in both held-to-maturity and available-for-sale) consisted of
mortgage-backed securities.
Eagle also invests in securities secured by pools of Small Business
Administration loans. The securities are created and serviced by various issuers
and consist of pools of the guaranteed portions of Small Business Administration
business loans which are consolidated by the issuers and which are guaranteed by
the Small Business Administration as to payment of principal and interest. There
is an active secondary market for such securities and Eagle believes that its
investments in such pools are liquid investments.
Collateralized Mortgage Obligations.
We also invest in collateralized mortgage obligations, issued or sponsored by
Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and GNMA or a private issuer that possesses one of the
three highest rating categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating
firm. Collateralized mortgage obligations are a type of debt security that
aggregates pools of mortgages and mortgage-backed securities and creates
different classes of securities with varying maturities and amortization
schedules as well as a residual interest with each class having different risk
characteristics. The cash flows from the underlying collateral are usually
divided into "tranches" or classes which have descending priorities with respect
to the distribution of principal and interest repayment of the underlying
mortgages and mortgage-backed securities as opposed to pass through
mortgage-backed securities where cash flows are distributed pro rata to all
security holders. Unlike mortgage-backed securities from which cash flow is
received and prepayment risk is shared pro rata by all securities holders, cash
flows
13
from the mortgages and mortgage-backed securities underlying collateralized
mortgage obligations are paid in accordance with a predetermined priority to
investors holding various tranches of such securities or obligations. A
particular tranche may carry prepayment risk, which may be different from that
of the underlying collateral and other tranches. Investing in collateralized
mortgage obligations allows us to protect ourselves to a degree from
reinvestment risk resulting from unexpected prepayment activity associated with
conventional mortgage-backed securities. Management believes these securities
represent attractive alternatives relative to other investments due to the wide
variety of maturity, repayment and interest rate options available. Eagle's
investment policy requires that a pre-purchase analysis be performed and
documented in investment portfolio records. At June 30, 2003, 29.64% of our
investment portfolio (exclusive of interest-bearing-deposits with banks)
consisted of collateralized mortgage obligations.
Other Securities.
Equity securities owned consist of a $1.69 million investment in Federal Home
Loan Bank of Seattle common stock as well as $1.79 million of corporate
preferred stock and $61,000 of corporate common stock as of June 30, 2003. As a
member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle, ownership of Federal Home Loan
Bank of Seattle common shares is required. The remaining securities and deposits
provide diversification and complement our overall investment strategy.

mortgage-backed securities portfolio at the dates indicated.

SOURCES OF FUNDS
General.
Deposits are the major source of our funds for lending and other investment
purposes. Borrowings (principally from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle)
are also used to compensate for reductions in the availability of funds from
other sources. In addition to deposits and borrowings, we derive funds from loan
and mortgage-backed securities principal repayments, and proceeds from the
maturity, call and sale of mortgage-backed securities and investment securities
and from the sale of loans. Loan and mortgage-backed securities payments are a
relatively stable source of funds, while loan prepayments and deposit inflows
are significantly influenced by general interest rates and money market
conditions.
Deposits.
We offer a variety of deposit accounts. Deposit account terms vary, primarily as
to the required minimum balance amount, the amount of time that the funds must
remain on deposit and the applicable interest rate.
Our current deposit products include certificates of deposit accounts ranging in
terms from 90 days to five years as well as checking, savings and money market
accounts. Individual retirement accounts (IRAs) are included in certificates of
deposit.
Deposits are obtained primarily from residents of Helena, Bozeman, Butte and
Townsend. We believe we are able to attract deposit accounts by offering
outstanding service, competitive interest rates and convenient locations and
service hours. We use traditional methods of advertising to attract new
customers and deposits, including radio, television, print media advertising and
sales training and incentive programs for employees. We do not utilize the
services of deposit brokers and management believes that non-residents of
Montana hold an insignificant number of deposit accounts.
We pay interest rates on deposits which are competitive in our market. Interest
rates on deposits are set weekly by senior management, based on a number of
factors, including: projected cash flow; a current survey of a selected group of
competitors' rates for similar products; external data which may influence
interest rates; investment opportunities and loan demand; and scheduled
certificate maturities and loan and investment repayments.
Core deposits are deposits that are more stable and somewhat less sensitive to
rate changes. They also represent a lower cost source of funds than rate
sensitive, more volatile accounts such as certificates of deposit. We believe
that our core deposits are our checking, as well as NOW accounts, passbook and
statement savings accounts, money market accounts and IRA accounts. Based on our
historical experience, we include IRA accounts funded by certificates of deposit
as core deposits because they exhibit the principal features of core deposits in
that they are stable and generally are not rate sensitive. Core deposits
amounted to $114.39 million or 67.92% of the Bank's deposits at June 30, 2003
($90.93 million or 53.99% if IRA certificates of deposit are excluded). The
presence of a high percentage of core deposits and, in particular, transaction
accounts, is part of our strategy to restructure our liabilities to more closely
resemble the lower cost liabilities of a commercial bank. However, a significant
portion of our deposits remains in certificate of deposit form. These
certificates of deposit, should they mature and be renewed at higher rates, will
result in an increase in our cost of funds.

accounts at the dates indicated and the weighted average interest rate on each

REGULATION
Set forth below is a brief description of laws which relate to the regulation of
American Federal and Eagle Bancorp. The description does not purport to be
complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to applicable laws and
regulations.
Regulation of American Federal Savings Bank
General.
As a federally chartered savings bank and a member of the FDIC's Savings
Association Insurance Fund, American Federal Savings Bank is subject to
extensive regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the FDIC. Lending
activities and other investments must comply with federal statutory and
regulatory requirements. American Federal Savings Bank is also subject to
reserve requirements of the Federal Reserve System. Federal regulation and
supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which an
institution can engage and is intended primarily for the protection of the
Savings Association Insurance Fund of the FDIC and depositors. This regulatory
structure gives the regulatory authorities extensive discretion in connection
with their supervisory and enforcement activities and examination policies,
including policies regarding the classification of assets and the establishment
of adequate loan loss reserves.
The Office of Thrift Supervision regularly examines American Federal Savings
Bank and prepares a report on its examination findings to American Federal's
board of directors. American Federal's relationship with its depositors and
borrowers is also regulated by federal law, especially in such matters as the
ownership of savings accounts and the form and content of American Federal's
mortgage documents.
American Federal Savings Bank must file reports with the Office of Thrift
Supervision and the FDIC concerning its activities and financial condition, and
must obtain regulatory approvals prior to entering into transactions such as
mergers with or acquisitions of other financial institutions. Any change in such
regulations, whether by the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC or the United
States Congress, could have a material adverse impact on Eagle and American
Federal, and their operations.
Insurance of Deposit Accounts.
The deposit accounts held by American Federal Savings Bank are insured by the
Savings Association Insurance Fund of the FDIC to a maximum of $100,000 as
permitted by law. Insurance on deposits may be terminated by the FDIC it if
finds an institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe
or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law,
regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC or the institution's
primary regulator.
Regulatory Capital Requirements.
Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) capital regulations require savings
institutions to meet three capital standards. The standards for capital adequacy
are tangible capital equal to 1.5% of adjusted total assets, core capital
(leverage ratio) equal to at least 4% of total adjusted assets, and risk-based
capital equal to 8% of total risk-weighted assets. In order to be deemed "Well
Capitalized", OTS rules require a leverage ratio of at least 5%, a Tier 1
risk-based ratio of at least 6%, and a total risk-based ratio of at least 10%.
American Federal's capital ratios at June 30, 2003 are set forth below.
19
Actual For Capital Adequacy Purposes
--------------------- -----------------------------
Amount Ratio Amount Ratio
-------- -------- -------- --------
(Dollars in thousands)
Tangible $21,737 10.80% $3,020 1.5%
Leverage 21,737 10.80 6,039 3.0
Tier 1 risk-based 21,737 18.53 4,692 4.0
Total risk-based 22,397 19.09 9,384 8.0
Tangible capital is defined as core capital less all intangible assets, less
mortgage servicing rights and less investments. Core capital is defined as
common stockholders' equity, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and
minority interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries,
nonwithdrawable accounts and pledged deposits of mutual savings associations and
qualifying supervisory goodwill, less nonqualifying intangible assets, mortgage
servicing rights and investments.
The risk-based capital standard for savings institutions requires the
maintenance of total risk-based capital of 8% of risk-weighted assets.
Risk-based capital is comprised of core and supplementary capital. The
components of supplementary capital include, among other items, cumulative
perpetual preferred stock, perpetual subordinated debt, mandatory convertible
subordinated debt, intermediate-term preferred stock, and the portion of the
allowance for loan losses not designated for specific loan losses. The portion
of the allowance for loan and lease losses includable in supplementary capital
is limited to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. Overall, supplementary
capital is limited to 100% of core capital. A savings association must calculate
its risk-weighted assets by multiplying each asset and off-balance sheet item by
various risk factors as determined by the Office of Thrift Supervision, which
range from 0% for cash to 100% for delinquent loans, property acquired through
foreclosure, commercial loans, and other assets.
Office of Thrift Supervision rules require a deduction from capital for
institutions which have unacceptable levels of interest rate risk. The Office of
Thrift Supervision calculates the sensitivity of an institution's net portfolio
value based on data submitted by the institution in a schedule to its quarterly
Thrift Financial Report and using the interest rate risk measurement model
adopted by the Office of Thrift Supervision. The amount of the interest rate
risk component, if any, is deducted from an institution's total capital in order
to determine if it meets its risk-based capital requirement. Federal savings
institutions with less than $300 million in assets and a risk-based capital
ratio above 12% are exempt from filing the interest rate risk schedule. However,
the Office of Thrift Supervision may require any exempt institution to file such
schedule on a quarterly basis and may be subject to an additional capital
requirement based on its level of interest rate risk as compared to its peers.
Dividend and Other Capital Distribution Limitations.
The Office of Thrift Supervision imposes various restrictions or requirements on
the ability of savings institutions to make capital distributions, including
dividend payments.
20
Office of Thrift Supervision regulations impose limitations on all capital
distributions by savings institutions, such as cash dividends, payment to
repurchase or otherwise acquire its shares, payments to stockholders of another
institution in a cash-out merger, and other distributions charged against
capital. The rule establishes three tiers of institutions based primarily on an
institution's capital level. An institution that exceeds all capital
requirements before and after a proposed capital distribution and has not been
advised by the Office of Thrift Supervision that it is in need of more than the
normal supervision has the greatest amount of flexibility for determining
dividends. Such institutions can, after prior notice but without the approval of
the Office of Thrift Supervision, make capital distributions during a calendar
year. These distributions can be equal to the greater of 100% of its net income
to date during the calendar year plus the amount that would reduce by one-half
its excess capital divided by its fully phased-in capital requirements at the
beginning of the calendar year. At the institution's discretion, dividends can
also be 75% of its net income over the most recent four-quarter period. Any
additional capital distributions require prior regulatory notice. As of June 30,
2003, American Federal Savings Bank had this level of flexibility with respect
to dividends.
Qualified Thrift Lender Test.
Federal savings institutions must meet a qualified thrift lender test or they
become subject to operating restrictions. The Bank anticipates that it will
maintain an appropriate level of investments consisting primarily of residential
mortgages, mortgage-backed securities and other mortgage-related investment, and
otherwise qualify as a qualified thrift lender. The required percentage of these
mortgage-related investments is 65% of portfolio assets. Portfolio assets are
all assets minus intangible assets, property used by the institution in
conducting its business and liquid assets equal to 10% of total assets.
Compliance with the qualified thrift lender test is determined on a monthly
basis in nine out of every twelve months.
Transactions With Affiliates.
Generally, federal banking law requires that transactions between a savings
institution or its subsidiaries and its affiliates must be on terms as favorable
to the savings institution as comparable transactions with non-affiliates. In
addition, some transactions can be restricted to an aggregate percentage of the
savings institution's capital. Collateral in specified amounts must usually be
provided by affiliates in order to receive loans from the savings institution.
In addition, a savings institution may not extend credit to any affiliate
engaged in activities not permissible for a bank holding company or acquire the
securities of any affiliate that is not a subsidiary. The Office of Thrift
Supervision has the discretion to treat subsidiaries of a savings institution as
affiliates on a case-by-case basis.
Liquidity Requirements.
The bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as defined by
the Office of Thrift Supervision regulations. 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 bank
engages.
Federal Home Loan Bank System.
We are a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle, which is one of 12
regional Federal Home Loan Banks. Each Federal Home Loan Bank serves as a
reserve or central bank for its members within its assigned region. It is funded
primarily from funds deposited by financial institutions and proceeds derived
from the sale of consolidated obligations of the Federal Home Loan Bank System.
It makes loans to members pursuant to policies and procedures established by the
board of directors of the Federal Home Loan Bank.
As a member, we are required to purchase and maintain stock in the Federal Home
Loan Bank of Seattle in an amount equal to at least 1% of our aggregate unpaid
residential mortgage loans, home purchase contracts or similar obligations at
the beginning of each year, or 5% of our outstanding advances, whichever is
larger. We are in compliance with this requirement. The Federal Home Loan Bank
imposes various limitations on advances such as limiting the amount of real
estate related collateral to 30% of a member's capital and limiting total
advances to a member. As a federal savings bank, we were mandatory members of
the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle. Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial
Modernization Act of 1999, we are now voluntary members of the Federal Home Loan
Bank of Seattle. We could withdraw or significantly reduce our required stock
ownership in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle.
Federal Reserve System.
The Federal Reserve System requires all depository institutions to maintain
noninterest-bearing reserves at specified levels against their checking, NOW and
Super NOW checking accounts and non-personal time deposits. The balances
maintained to meet the reserve requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve
System may be used to satisfy the Office of Thrift Supervision liquidity
requirements.
21
Savings institutions have authority to borrow from the Federal Reserve System
"discount window," but Federal Reserve System policy generally requires savings
institutions to exhaust all other sources before borrowing from the Federal
Reserve System.
Regulation of Eagle Bancorp
General.
Eagle Bancorp, as a federal stock corporation in a mutual holding company
structure, is deemed a federal mutual holding company within the meaning of
Section 10(o) of the Home Owners Loan act ("HOLA"). Eagle is registered and
files reports with the Office of Thrift Supervision and is subject to regulation
and examination by the Office of Thrift Supervision. In addition, the Office of
Thrift Supervision has enforcement authority over Eagle and any nonsavings
institution subsidiary of Eagle. The Office of Thrift Supervision can restrict
or prohibit activities that it determines to be a serious risk to us. This
regulation is intended primarily for the protection of our depositors and not
for the benefit of stockholders of Eagle.
Federal Taxation
Savings institutions are subject to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, in the same general manner as other corporations. Prior to changes to
the Internal Revenue Code in 1996, thrift institutions enjoyed a tax advantage
over banks with respect to determining additions to its bad debt reserves.
The Internal Revenue Code was revised in August 1996 to equalize the taxation of
thrift institutions and banks, effective for taxable years beginning after 1995.
All thrift institutions are now subject to the same provisions as banks with
respect to deductions for bad debt. Now only thrift institutions that are
treated as small banks under the Internal Revenue Code may continue to account
for bad debts under the reserve method; however such institutions may only use
the experience method for determining additions to their bad debt reserve.
Thrift institutions that are not treated as small banks may no longer use the
reserve method to account for their bad debts but must now use the specific
charge-off method.
The revisions to the Internal Revenue Code in 1996 also provided that all thrift
institutions must generally recapture any "applicable excess reserves" into
their taxable income, over a six year period beginning in 1996; however, such
recapture may be delayed up to two years if a thrift institution meets a
residential-lending test. Generally, a thrift institution's applicable excess
reserves equals the excess of the balance of its bad debt reserves as of the
close of its taxable year beginning before January 1, 1996, over the balance of
such reserves as of the close of its last taxable year beginning before January
1, 1988. These are known as pre-1988 reserves. American Federal Savings Bank
will be required to recapture $35,000 of remaining applicable excess reserve as
of June 30, 2003.
In addition, all thrift institutions must continue to keep track of their
pre-1988 reserves because this amount remains subject to recapture in the future
under the Internal Revenue Code. A thrift institution such as American Federal,
would generally be required to recapture into its taxable income its pre-1988
reserves in the case of excess distributions, and redemptions of American
Federal's stock and in the case of a reduction in American Federal's outstanding
loans when comparing loans currently outstanding to loans outstanding at the end
of the base year. For taxable years after 1995, American Federal Savings Bank
will continue to account for its bad debts under the reserve method. The balance
of American Federal's pre-1988 reserves equaled $915,000.
Eagle may exclude from its income 100% of dividends received from American
Federal Savings Bank as a member of the same affiliated group of corporations. A
70% dividends received deduction generally applies with respect to dividends
received from corporations that are not members of such affiliated group.
American Federal's federal income tax returns for the last five tax years have
not been audited by the IRS.
22
State Taxation
American Federal Savings Bank files Montana tax returns. For Montana tax
purposes, savings institutions are presently taxed at a rate equal to 6.75% of
taxable income which is calculated based on federal taxable income, subject to
adjustments (including the addition of interest income on state and municipal
obligations).
American Federal's state tax returns have not been audited for the past five
years by the state of Montana.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS.
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains certain "forward-looking statements." Eagle desires to take
advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 and is including this statement for the express purpose of
availing itself of the protections of the safe harbor with respect to all such
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements, which are included
in Management's Discussion and Analysis, describe future plans or strategies and
include Eagle's expectations of future financial results. The words "believe",
"expect", "anticipate", "estimate", "project", and similar expressions identify
forward-looking statements. Eagle's ability to predict results or the effect of
future plans or strategies or qualitative or quantitative changes based on
market risk is inherently uncertain. Factors which could affect actual results
but are not limited to include (i) change in general market interest rates, (ii)
general economic conditions, (iii) local economic conditions, (iv)
legislative/regulatory changes, (v) monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S.
Treasury and Federal Reserve, (vi) changes in the quality or composition of
Eagle's loan and investment portfolios, (vii) demand for loan products, (viii)
deposit flows, (ix) competition, and (x) demand for financial services in
Eagle's markets. These factors should be considered in evaluating the
forward-looking statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
these forward-looking statements that speak only as of their dates.

General
Eagle Bancorp's subsidiary, American Federal Savings Bank, operates as a
community savings bank. It raises money by offering FDIC-insured deposit
products and lending this money, primarily for the purpose of home financing. As
of June 30, 2003, 43.82% of its total loans were residential mortgage loans with
fixed rates and 4.42% were residential mortgage loans with adjustable rates.
Total first lien mortgage loans at June 30, 2003, were $68.03 million or 72.27%
of the total loan portfolio. Other loan products include home equity loans,
consumer and commercial loans. These loans totaled $26.10 million or 27.73% of
the total loan portfolio.
The consolidated financial condition and operating results of Eagle are
primarily dependent on its wholly owned subsidiary, American Federal Savings
Bank. All references to the Company prior to April 4, 2000, except where
otherwise indicated, are to the Bank.
Analysis of Net Interest Income
The Bank's earnings have historically depended primarily upon net interest
income, which is the difference between interest income earned on loans and
investments and interest paid on deposits and any borrowed funds. It is the
single largest component of Eagle's operating income. Net interest income is
affected by (i) the difference between rates of interest earned on loans and
investments and rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and borrowings (the
"interest rate spread") and (ii) the relative amounts of loans and investments
and interest-bearing deposits and borrowings.
The following table presents the average balances of and the interest and
dividends earned or paid on each major class of loans and investments and
interest-bearing deposits and borrowings. Nonaccruing loans are included in
balances for all periods. Average balances are daily average balances. The
yields and costs include fees, which are considered adjustments to yields.

Interest Rate Risk Analysis
Interest Rate Risk Analysis.
In addition to the asset/liability committee, the board of directors reviews our
asset and liability policies. The board of directors reviews interest rate risk
and interest rate trends quarterly, as well as liquidity and capital ratio
requirements. Management administers the policies and determinations of the
board of directors with respect to our asset and liability goals and strategies.
Our asset and liability policy and strategies are expected to continue as
described so long as competitive and regulatory conditions in the financial
institution industry and market interest rates continue as they have in recent
years.
Financial Condition
Total assets increased by $18.48 million, or 10.01%, to $203.06 million at June
30, 2003, from $184.58 million at June 30, 2002. Total liabilities increased by
$16.68 million, or 10.24%, to $179.56 million at June 30, 2003, from $162.88
million at June 30, 2002. The growth reflects the influx of deposits during the
past year.
For the second straight year, the growth in assets was mainly in the
available-for-sale (AFS) investment portfolio, which increased $26.71 million,
or 53.26%, to $76.86 million at June 30, 2003 from $50.15 million at June 30,
2002. The residential mortgage loan portfolio experienced higher than normal
prepayments again this year. This, in conjunction with increased loan sales and
large deposit inflows, contributed to increased levels of cash, which was in
turn invested in the AFS portfolio. Mortgage loans held-for sale also
experienced a significant increase, to $6.91 million at June 30, 2003 from $1.35
million at June 30, 2002. The loan portfolio decreased $12.16 million, or
11.46%, to $93.52 million at June 30, 2003 from $105.62 million at June 30,
2002. The largest component of the decrease was the residential mortgage loan
portfolio, which declined $21.55 million from the previous year-end due to the
heavy prepayment and refinancing activity during the year. Investment securities
held-to-maturity (HTM) declined to $2.28 million at June 30, 2003 from $3.88
million at June 30, 2002. The majority of new investment securities purchased
are placed in the AFS portfolio. This combined with maturities and principal
payments on securities contribute to the shift from the HTM portfolio to the AFS
portfolio.
The growth in liabilities was primarily attributable to the growth in deposits.
Interest-bearing deposits increased to $160.56 million at June 30, 2003 from
$144.77 million at June 30, 2002, an increase of $15.79 million, or 10.91%. This

increase was the result of increases in all deposit categories. The most
significant increases were in certificates of deposit and savings accounts.
Certificates of deposit increased to $77.49 million from $69.83 million, an
increase of $7.66 million, or 10.97%. Savings accounts increased to $25.76
million from $22.47 million, an increase of $3.29 million, or 14.64%. These
increases have come despite a decline in interest rates, as consumers continue
to shift funds to insured accounts due to uncertain economic conditions.
Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank declined to $9.24 million at year-end
2003 from $9.34 million at year-end 2002, a decrease of $100,000. This decrease
was the result of payments on an amortizing advance.
Total shareholders' equity was $23.50 million at June 30, 2003, an increase of
$1.80 million. This increase was primarily attributable to the net income for
the year and the increase in accumulated other comprehensive income that
resulted from unrealized gains on securities available-for-sale.
COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE YEARS ENDING JUNE 30, 2003 AND 2002
Net Income.
Eagle's net income was $1.87 million and $1.96 million for the years ended June
30, 2003 and 2002 respectively. This decrease of $94,000, or 4.80%, was
primarily due to an increase in noninterest expense of $549,000, offset by
increases in noninterest income of $243,000 and net interest income of $72,000.
Eagle's tax provision was $140,000 lower in 2003. Basic earnings per share for
the year ended June 30, 2003 were $1.59, compared to $1.68 for the year ended
June 30, 2002. Diluted earnings per share were $1.57 and $1.65 for 2003 and
2002, respectively.
Net Interest Income.
Net interest income (before provision for loan losses) increased to $6.19
million for the year ended June 30, 2003, from $6.12 million for the previous
year. This increase of $72,000, or 1.18%, was the result of a decrease in
interest expense of $833,000, partially offset by a decrease in interest income
of $761,000.
Interest and Dividend Income.
Total interest and dividend income was $10.41 million for the year ended June
30, 2003, compared to $11.17 million for the year ended June 30, 2002, a
decrease of $761,000, or 6.81%. Interest and fees on loans decreased to $7.69
million for 2003 from $8.99 million for 2002. This decrease of $1.3 million, or
14.46%, was due to decreases in the average rate and average balances of loans
receivable for the year ended June 30, 2003. The average interest rate earned on
loans receivable decreased by 47 basis points, to 7.35% from 7.82%. Average
balances for loans receivable, net, for the year ended June 30, 2003 were
$104.70 million, compared to $114.92 million for the previous year. This
represents a decrease of $10.22 million, or 8.89%. Total loans receivable, net,
at year-end 2003 were $93.52 million, compared to $105.62 million at year-end
2002. This decrease of $12.10 million, or 11.46%, was due primarily to a
decrease of $21.56 million in the residential mortgage portfolio. The other loan
categories showed small increases or decreases with the exception of commercial
real estate, which increased $9.37 million. This increase was attributable to
one large commercial real estate loan originated in 2003. The loan is 90%
guaranteed by the USDA Rural Development Program. The Bank has a commitment to
sell the guaranteed portion of the loan. Interest and dividends on investment
securities available-for-sale (AFS) increased to $2.31 million for the year
ended June 30, 2003 from $1.61 million for the year ended June 30, 2002, an
increase of $700,000, or 43.48%. This increase was the result of increased
balances in the AFS portfolio during the year. Interest earned from deposits at
other banks decreased to $134,000 for the year ended June 30, 2003 from $178,000
for the year ended June 30, 2002. Lower interest rates earned on these accounts
contributed to the decrease. Interest and dividends on investments
held-to-maturity (HTM) decreased $133,000, to $166,000 in 2003 compared to
$299,000 in 2002. Lower balances in the HTM category contributed to the
decrease.
28
Interest Expense.
Total interest expense decreased to $4.21 million for the year ended June 30,
2003 from $5.05 million for the year ended June 30, 2002, a decrease of
$833,000, or 16.50%. Interest on deposits decreased to $3.63 million for the
year ended June 30, 2003 from $4.40 million for the year ended June 30, 2002.
This decrease of $770,000, or 17.50%, was the result of a decrease on average
rates paid despite an increase in balances on deposit accounts. The average cost
of deposits dropped 85 basis points, to 2.38% in 2003 from 3.23% in 2002. The
decline in interest rates during the year contributed to the decrease in the
cost of deposits, as the Company lowered rates on all deposit products during
the year. Certificates of deposit and money market accounts showed the largest
increase in balances, as well as the largest declines in average rates paid. The
average balance of certificates of deposit increased to $74.09 million for the
year ended June 30, 2003, compared to $67.07 million for the year ended June 30,
2002. The average rate paid on certificates of deposit declined to 3.59% in 2003
from 4.63% in 2002. Average balances on money market accounts increased to
$28.75 million in 2003 from $23.51 million in 2002. The average rate paid on
money market accounts declined to 1.77% from 2.77%. A decrease in the average
balance of borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank resulted in a decrease in
interest paid on borrowings to $581,000 for the year ended June 30, 2003 from
$645,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002.
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 American Federal
Savings Bank to provide for probable loan losses based on prior loss experience,
volume and type of lending conducted by American Federal, available peer group
information, and past due loans in portfolio. The Bank's policies require the
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. No provision was made
for loan losses for either year ended June 30, 2003 or June 30,2002. This is a
reflection of the continued strong asset quality of American Federal's loan
portfolio, as non-performing loan ratios continue to be low. Total classified
assets decreased to $1.57 million at June 30, 2003 from $1.66 million at June
30, 2002. Total non-performing loans as a percentage of the total loan portfolio
is 0.94%. As of June 30, 2003, American Federal Savings Bank had $70,000 of real
estate owned consisting of one single-family residential property located in
East Helena. Subsequent to year-end, the Bank has accepted an offer on the
property which exceeds its book value.
Noninterest Income.
Total noninterest income increased to $2.57 million for the year ended June 30,
2003, from $2.33 million for the year ended June 30, 2002, an increase of
$243,000 or 10.43%. This change was the result of an increase in net gains on
sale of loans to $1.82 million for the year ended June 30, 2003 from $1.1
million for the year ended June 30, 2002, an increase of $710,000 or 63.96%.
This increase was attributable to another record year of mortgage loan
originations for the year ended June 30, 2003. Loan originations increased
significantly due to the historically low levels of interest rates during the
period, which in turn contributed to an increase in the amount of loans prepaid
for refinancing purposes. This increase in mortgage loan prepayments has in turn
led to what we believe to be a temporary decline in the value of the Bank's
mortgage servicing portfolio. An addition was made to the valuation allowance in
the amount of $735,000. As a result, mortgage loan servicing fees were a
negative $300,000 for 2003, compared to $305,000 in 2002, a decrease of
$605,000. As mortgage rates change in the future, quarterly adjustments will be
made to the allowance. Net gain on sale of available-for-sale securities
increased to $165,000 in 2003 from $17,000 in 2002. The securities gains were
higher due to the decline in interest rates that led to higher market values of
the securities. Demand deposit service charges and "other" noninterest income
showed minor decreases from the previous year.
Noninterest Expense.
Noninterest expense increased by $549,000 or 10.09% to $5.99 million for the
year ended June 30, 2003 from $5.44 million for the year ended June 30, 2002.
This increase was primarily due to an increase in amortization of mortgage
servicing fees to $745,000 for the year ended June 30, 2003 from $324,000 for
the year ended June 30, 2002, an increase of $421,000. The increase was related
to increased prepayment activity on mortgage loans. Excluding the mortgage
servicing fee amortization expense, noninterest expenses were up only 2.50%.
Other increases in noninterest expenses were "other" noninterest expense of
$73,000 and consulting fees of $50,000. Other noninterest expense increased due
to higher loan expenses and equipment repair costs. Consulting fees increased
due to the company installing a new internal data network. These increases were
partially offset by a decrease of $71,000 in furniture and equipment
depreciation due to equipment becoming fully depreciated. Other expense
categories showed minor changes from the previous year.
29
Income Tax Expense.
Eagle's income tax expense was $905,000 for the year ended June 30, 2003,
compared to $1.04 million for the year ended June 30, 2002. The effective tax
rate for the year ended June 30, 2003 was 32.65% as opposed to 34.77% for the
year ended June 30, 2002.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The company's subsidiary, American Federal Savings 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 the
previous regulatory definitions of liquidity. The Bank's average liquidity ratio
average was 30.82% and 22.17% for the months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002,
respectively. The Bank's liquidity increased due to an increase in investments
available-for-sale for the year ended June 30, 2003.
The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, repayment of loans and
mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investments, funds provided from
operations, and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle. Scheduled
repayments of loans and mortgage-backed 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.
Net cash provided by the Company's operating activities, which is primarily
comprised of cash transactions affecting net income was $(1.55) million for the
year ended June 30, 2003 and $4.30 million for the year ended June 30, 2002. The
change was primarily a result of an increase in the amount of loans held for
sale.
Net cash used in the Company's investing activities, which is primarily
comprised of cash transactions from the investment securities and
mortgage-backed securities portfolios and the loan portfolio, was $15.27 million
for the year ended June 30, 2003, and $17.26 million for the year ended June 30,
2002. The increase in cash used was primarily due to an increase in investment
securities available-for-sale of $55.11 million. This was partially offset by
proceeds from maturities and principal repayments of investment securities (net
of purchases) of $23.43 million and the decrease in loans receivable of $10.85
million.
Net cash provided by the Company's financing activities, which is primarily cash
transactions from net increases in deposits and net Federal Home Loan Bank
advances, totaled $16.42 million for the year ended June 30, 2003, and $15.23
million for the year ended June 30, 2002. This increase in cash provided was the
result of the large increase in deposit accounts, offset by dividends paid and a
decrease in FHLB advances.
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
our commitments to make loans and management's assessment of our ability to
generate funds.
At March 31, 2003 (the most recent report available), the Bank's measure of
sensitivity to interest rate movements, as measured by the OTS, improved
slightly from the previous quarter. It has also improved since the previous
year's report. The market value of the Bank's capital position has declined
slightly from the previous quarter and year. The Bank is well within the
guidelines set forth by the Board of Directors for interest rate sensitivity.
As of June 30, 2003, the Bank's regulatory capital was in excess of all
applicable regulatory requirements. At June 30, 2003, the Bank's tangible, core,
and risk-based capital ratios amounted to 10.8%, 10.8%, and 19.1%, respectively,
compared to regulatory requirements of 1.5%, 3.0%, and 8.0%, respectively.
30
IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES
Our financial statements and the accompanying notes, which are found in Item 7,
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.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure.
This statement amends SFAS No. 123 in order to provide alternative methods of
transition for a voluntary change from the intrinsic value method to the fair
value method of accounting for stock based employee compensation. This statement
also amends disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent
disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of
accounting used for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the
method used on reported results. Since the Company currently does not have any
stock options outstanding, this standard has not had a material impact on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.
In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB interpretation No. 45 (FIN45),
Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including
Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. This interpretation provides
guidance on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual
financial statements regarding its obligations under guarantees that it has
issued. FIN45 also clarifies that guarantors are required to recognize, at the
inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation
relating to the guarantee issued. The initial recognition and measurement
provisions of this interpretation are effective for the Company relating to
guarantees entered or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure
provisions are effective for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2003. The initial
adoption of this standard has not had a material impact on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.
In January 2003, FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities, and Interpretation of ARB No. 51. This interpretation
addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest
entities as defined in the interpretation. The interpretation applies
immediately to variable interests in variable interest entities created and
acquired after January 31, 2003. For variable interest in a variable interest
entity created before February 1, 2003, the interpretation is applicable no
later than the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period
beginning after June 15, 2003. The application of this interpretation did not
have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements for
the year ended June 30, 2003 and is not expected to have a material effect for
the year ending June 30, 2004.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity. This statement
requires that mandatory stock repurchase agreements be recorded as a liability
on the balance sheet. A repurchase is considered mandatory if it will happen at
an "event certain" such as death or retirement. If there is not an event
certain, a put option included or "embedded" in the repurchase agreement would
keep the repurchase from being mandatory. This statement is not expected to have
an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There are a number of accounting estimates performed by the Company in preparing
its financial statements. Some of the estimates are developed internally, while
others are obtained from independent third parties. Examples of estimates using
external sources are the fair market value of investment securities, fair value
of mortgage servicing rights, deferred compensation, and appraised value of
foreclosed properties. It is management's assertion that the external sources
have access to resources, methodologies, and markets that provide adequate
assurances that no material impact would occur due to changes in assumptions.
The following accounting estimates are performed internally:
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (ALLL)- Management applies its knowledge of
current local economic and real estate market conditions, historical experience,
loan portfolio composition, and the assessment of delinquent borrowers'
situations, to determine the adequacy of its ALLL reserve. These factors are
reviewed by the Bank's federal banking
31
regulator and the Company's external auditors on a regular basis. The current
level of the ALLL reserve is deemed to be more than adequate given the above
factors, with no material impact expected due to a difference in the
assumptions.
Deferred Loan Fees - Management applies time study and statistical analysis to
determine loan origination costs to be capitalized under FAS 91. The analysis is
reviewed by the Company's external auditors for reasonableness. No material
impact is expected if different assumptions are used, as many of our loans have
a short duration.
Deferred Tax Assets - Management expects to realize the deferred tax assets due
to the continued profitability of the Company.
Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments - Management uses an internal model to
determine fair value for its loan portfolio and certificates of deposit. The
assumptions entail spreads over the Treasury yield curve at appropriate maturity
benchmarks. Assumptions incorporating different spreads would naturally deliver
varying results, however due to short-term nature of the loan portfolio and
certificates of deposit, changes in the results would be mitigated. Currently,
the fair value is only presented as footnote information, and changes due to new
assumptions would not, in management's opinion, affect the reader's opinion of
the Company's financial condition.
Economic Life of Fixed Assets - Management determines the useful life of its
buildings, furniture, and equipment for depreciation purposes. These estimates
are reviewed by the Company's external auditors for reasonableness. No material
impact is expected if different assumptions were to be used.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Eagle Bancorp
Helena, Montana 59601
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition
of Eagle Bancorp and subsidiary as of June 30, 2003 and 2002, and the related
consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash
flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eagle Bancorp and
subsidiary as of June 30, 2003 and 2002, and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE l. REPORTING ENTITY
---------------------------
Eagle Bancorp was organized in 2000 as the majority-owned subsidiary of Eagle
Financial, MHC and the sole parent of American Federal Savings Bank (the Bank).
Collectively, Eagle Bancorp and the Bank are referred to herein as "the
Company".
The Bank is a federally chartered savings bank subject to the regulations of the
Office of Thrift Supervision. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank
System and its deposit accounts are insured to the applicable limits by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC").
The Bank is headquartered in Helena, Montana, and operates additional branches
in Butte, Bozeman, and Townsend, Montana. The Bank's market area is concentrated
in south central Montana, to which it primarily offers commercial, residential,
and consumer loans. The Bank's principal business is accepting deposits and,
together with funds generated from operations and borrowings, investing in
various types of loans and securities.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eagle Bancorp, and
the Bank. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in
consolidation.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
-----------------------------------------------------
Management Estimates:
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In
preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, income and expense. Actual results could differ significantly from
these estimates.
Significant estimates are necessary in determining the recorded value of the
allowance for loan losses, mortgage servicing rights, and available-for-sale
securities. Management believes the assumptions used in arriving at these
estimates are appropriate.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and
deposits with correspondent banks.
The Company maintains cash balances at several banks. Accounts at each
institution are insured by the FDIC up to $100,000. No account balances were
held with correspondent banks that were in excess of FDIC insured levels.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Investment Securities:
The Company designates debt and equity securities as held-to-maturity,
available-for-sale, or trading.
Held-to-maturity - Debt investment securities that management has the positive
intent and ability to hold until maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and
are carried at their remaining unpaid principal balance, net of unamortized
premiums or unaccreted discounts. Premiums are amortized and discounts are
accreted using the interest method over the period remaining until maturity.
Available-for-sale - Investment securities that will be held for indefinite
periods of time, including securities that may be sold in response to changes in
market interest or prepayment rates, need for liquidity, and changes in the
availability of and the yield of alternative investments, are classified as
available-for-sale. These assets are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and
losses, net of tax, are reported as other comprehensive income. Gains and losses
on the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined using the specific
identification method.
Declines in the fair value of individual held-to-maturity and available-for-sale
securities below their cost that are other than temporary are recognized by
write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value. Such write-downs
would be included in earnings as realized losses.
Trading - No investment securities were designated as trading at June 30, 2003
and 2002.
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock:
The Company's investment in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock is a restricted
investment carried at cost ($100 per share par value), which approximates its
fair value. As a member of the FHLB system, the Company is required to maintain
a minimum level of investment in FHLB stock based on specific percentages of its
outstanding FHLB advances. The Company may request redemption at par value of
any stock in excess of the amount it is required to hold. Stock redemptions are
made at the discretion of the FHLB.
Mortgage Loans Held-for-Sale:
Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are
carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value, determined in aggregate,
plus the fair value of associated derivative financial instruments. Net
unrealized losses, if any, are recognized in a valuation allowance by a charge
to income.
Loans Receivable:
Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold until
maturity are reported at the outstanding principal balance adjusted for any
charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on
originated loans and unamortized premiums or unaccreted discounts on purchased
loans. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs are
deferred and amortized over the contractual life of the loan, as an adjustment
of the yield, using the interest method.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Impaired Loans and Related Income:
A loan is considered impaired when management determines that it is probable
that all contractual amounts of principal and interest will not be paid as
scheduled in the loan agreement. These loans may include nonaccrual loans past
due 90 days or more, loans restructured in the current year, and other loans
that management considers to be impaired.
When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued but
not collected is reversed and charged against interest income. Income on
nonaccrual loans is then recognized only when the loan is brought current, or
when, in the opinion of management, the borrower has demonstrated the ability to
resume payments of principal and interest. Interest income on restructured loans
is recognized pursuant to the terms of new loan agreements. Interest income on
other impaired loans is monitored and based upon the terms of the underlying
loan agreement. However, the recorded net investment in impaired loans,
including accrued interest, is limited to the present value of the expected cash
flows of the impaired loan, the observable fair market value of the loan, or the
fair value of the loan's collateral.
Provision for Loan Losses:
The allowance for loan losses is increased by the provision for loan losses
charged to operations and is decreased by loan charge-offs, net of recoveries.
Management estimates the provision for loan losses by evaluating known and
inherent risks in the loan portfolio. These factors include changes in the size
and composition of the loan portfolio, actual loan loss experience, current
economic conditions, detailed analysis of individual loans for which full
collectibility may not be assured, determination of the existence and realizable
value of the collateral, and guarantees securing the loans. The allowance is
based upon market factors and trends which extend beyond the Company's control,
and which may result in losses or recoveries differing significantly from those
provided for in the financial statements.
A material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change
relates to the determination of the allowance for losses on loans and the
valuation of real estate acquired in connection with the foreclosures or in
satisfaction of loans. In connection with the determination of the estimated
losses on loans and foreclosed assets held-for-sale, management obtains
independent appraisals for significant properties.
The majority of the Company's loan portfolio consists of consumer loans,
commercial real estate loans and single-family residential loans secured by real
estate in south central Montana. Real estate prices in this market have been
stable. However, the ultimate collectibility of a substantial portion of the
Company's loan portfolio may be susceptible to changes in local market
conditions in the future.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Mortgage Servicing Rights:
The Company allocates its total cost in mortgage loans between mortgage
servicing rights and loans, based upon their relative fair values, when loans
are subsequently sold or securitized, with the servicing rights retained. Fair
values are generally obtained through market survey data. Impairment of mortgage
servicing rights is measured annually based upon the characteristics of the
individual loans, including note rate, term, underlying collateral, current
market conditions, and estimates of net servicing income. The Company accounts
for its recorded value on a loan-by-loan basis and possible impairment of
mortgage servicing rights on a portfolio basis. Impairment is recorded through a
valuation allowance and a charge to mortgage loan servicing fees.
Mortgage servicing rights are amortized in proportion to, and over the estimated
period of, net servicing income, adjusted for actual loan prepayments.
Real Estate Owned:
Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are
initially recorded at the lower of the unpaid principal balance of the related
loan or the fair market value of the real estate acquired less estimated selling
costs. After foreclosure, management performs subsequent valuations, and the
carrying value of a real estate owned property is adjusted by a charge to
expense to reflect any subsequent declines in estimated fair value. Fair value
estimates are based on recent appraisals and other available information.
Routine holding costs are charged to expense as incurred, while significant
improvements are capitalized. Gains and losses on sales of real estate owned are
recognized upon disposition.
Property and Equipment:
Property and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the expected useful
lives of the assets, ranging from 3 to 35 years. The costs of maintenance and
repairs are expensed as incurred, while major expenditures for renewals and
betterments are capitalized.
Income Taxes:
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
Accordingly, deferred taxes are recognized for the estimated future tax effects
attributable to "temporary differences" between the financial statement carrying
amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to
taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to
be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax laws or rates is recognized in income tax expense in the period
that includes the enactment date of the change.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Income Taxes (continued):
A deferred tax liability is recognized for all temporary differences that will
result in future taxable income. A deferred tax asset is recognized for all
temporary differences that will result in future tax deductions, subject to
reduction of the asset by a valuation allowance in certain circumstances. This
valuation allowance is recognized if, based on an analysis of available
evidence, management determines that it is more likely than not that some
portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The valuation
allowance is subject to ongoing adjustment based on changes in circumstances
that affect management's judgment about the realizability of the deferred tax
asset. Adjustments to increase or decrease the valuation allowance are charged
or credited, respectively, to income tax expense.
Advertising Costs:
The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising costs
were approximately $149,000 and $109,000 for the years ended June 30, 2003 and
2002, respectively.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan:
Compensation expense recognized for the Company's ESOP equals the fair value of
shares that have been allocated or committed to be released for allocation to
participants. Any difference between the fair value of the shares at the time
and the ESOP's original acquisition cost is charged or credited to stockholders'
equity (additional paid-in capital). The cost of ESOP shares that have not yet
been allocated or committed to be released is deducted from stockholders'
equity.
Earnings Per Share:
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS
is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common
shares used to compute basic EPS plus the incremental amount of potential common
stock determined by the treasury stock method. For purposes of computing EPS,
outstanding common shares include all shares issued to the Mutual Holding
Company but exclude ESOP shares that have not been allocated or committed to be
released for allocation to participants.
Financial Instruments:
All derivative financial instruments that qualify for hedge accounting are
recognized in the financial statements and measured at fair value regardless of
the purpose or intent for holding them. Changes in the fair value of derivative
financial instruments used as cash flow hedges are recognized as a component of
comprehensive income. At June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company was holding forward
delivery commitments that qualify as derivative financial instruments.
The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments approximates fair
value. The fair value of the Company's financial instruments is generally
determined by a third party's valuation of the underlying asset.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards:
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure.
This statement amends SFAS No. 123 in order to provide alternative methods of
transition for a voluntary change from the intrinsic value method to the fair
value method of accounting for stock based employee compensation. This statement
also amends disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent
disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of
accounting used for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the
method used on reported results. Since the Company currently does not have any
stock options outstanding, this standard has not had a material impact on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.
In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB interpretation No. 45 (FIN45),
Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including
Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. This interpretation provides
guidance on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual
financial statements regarding its obligations under guarantees that it has
issued. FIN45 also clarifies that guarantors are required to recognize, at the
inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation
relating to the guarantee issued. The initial recognition and measurement
provisions of this interpretation are effective for the Company relating to
guarantees entered or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure
provisions are effective for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2003. The initial
adoption of this standard has not had a material impact on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.
In January 2003, FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities, and Interpretation of ARB No. 51. This interpretation
addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest
entities as defined in the interpretation. The interpretation applies
immediately to variable interests in variable interest entities created and
acquired after January 31, 2003. For variable interest in a variable interest
entity created before February 1, 2003, the interpretation is applicable no
later than the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period
beginning after June 15, 2003. The application of this interpretation did not
have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements for
the year ended June 30, 2003 and is not expected to have a material effect for
the year ending June 30, 2004.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity. This statement
requires that mandatory stock repurchase agreements be recorded as a liability
on the balance sheet. A repurchase is considered mandatory if it will happen at
an "event certain" such as death or retirement. If there is not an event
certain, a put option included or "embedded" in the repurchase agreement would
keep the repurchase from being mandatory. This statement is not expected to have
an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4. REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
------------------------------------------
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by
federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can
initiate certain mandatory - and possibly additional discretionary - actions by
regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the
Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific
capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets,
liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory
accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classifications are also
subject to qualitative judgements by the regulators about components, risk
weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table
below) of tangible and core capital (as defined in the regulations) to total
adjusted assets (as defined), and of risk-based capital (as defined) to
risk-weighted assets (as defined). Management believes, as of June 30, 2003 and
2002, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is
subject.
The most recent notification from the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) (as of
March 3, 2003) categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory
framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well-capitalized,
the Bank must maintain minimum tangible, core, and risk-based ratios as set
forth in the table below. Management believes the Bank would be considered
well-capitalized by the OTS at June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Dividend Limitations
Under OTS regulations that became effective April 1, 1999, savings associations
such as the Bank generally may declare annual cash dividends up to an amount
equal to net income for the current year plus net income retained for the two
preceding years. Dividends in excess of such amount requires OTS approval. The
Bank has paid dividends totaling $291,058 and $222,644 to the Company during the
years ended June 30, 2003, and 2002, respectively. The Company had paid four
quarterly dividends of $0.13 per share to its shareholders for the year ended

NOTE 6. INVESTMENT SECURITIES
--------------------------------
The Company's investment policy requires that the Company purchase only
high-grade investment securities. Municipal obligations are categorized as "AAA"
or better by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. These
ratings are achieved because the securities are backed by the full faith and
credit of the municipality and also supported by third-party credit insurance
policies. Mortgage backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations are
issued by government sponsored corporations, including Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation, Federal National Mortgage Association, and the Guaranteed
National Mortgage Association. The amortized cost and estimated fair values of

NOTE 12. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
-----------------------------------
The Company believes, based upon the available evidence, that all deferred tax
assets will be realized in the normal course of operations. Accordingly, these
assets have not been reduced by a valuation allowance.
A reconciliation of the Company's effective income tax provision to the
statutory federal income tax rate is as follows:
Years Ended June 30,
---------------------------
2003 2002
----------- -----------
Federal income taxes at the
statutory rate of 34% $ 941,960 $ 1,021,247
State income taxes 170,000 184,000
Nontaxable income (188,351) (157,000)
Other, net (19,004) (4,010)
----------- -----------
Income tax expense $ 904,605 $ 1,044,237
=========== ===========
Effective tax rate 32.7% 34.8%
=========== ===========
Prior to January 1, 1987, the Company was allowed a special bad debt deduction
limited generally in the current year to 32% (net of preference tax) of
otherwise taxable income and subject to certain limitations based on aggregate
loans and savings account balances at the end of the year. If the amounts that
qualified as deductions for federal income tax purposes are later used for
purposes other than for bad debt losses, they will be subject to federal income
tax at the then current corporate rate. Retained earnings include approximately
$915,000 at June 30, 2003 and 2002, for which federal income tax has not been
provided.
NOTE 13. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
-------------------------------
Comprehensive income represents the sum of net income and items of "other
comprehensive income" that are reported directly in stockholders' equity, such
as the change during the period in the after-tax net unrealized gain or loss on
securities available-for-sale.

NOTE 14. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Profit Sharing Plan:
The Company provides a noncontributory profit sharing plan for eligible
employees who have completed one year of service. The amount of the Company's
annual contribution, limited to a maximum of 15% of qualified employees'
salaries, is determined by the Board of Directors. Profit sharing expense was
$157,846 and $147,191 for the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
The Company's profit sharing plan includes a 401(k) feature. At the discretion
of the Board of Directors, the Company may match up to 50% of participants'
contributions up to a maximum of 4% of participants' salaries. For the years
ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company's match totaled $37,303 and $29,512,
respectively.
Deferred Compensation Plans:
The Company has entered into a deferred compensation agreement for the benefit
of a previous director/employee. The agreement provides for payment of $2,000

NOTE 14. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (CONTINUED)
----------------------------------------
Deferred Compensation Plans (continued):
The Company has entered into deferred compensation contracts with current key
employees. The contracts provide fixed benefits payable in equal annual
installments upon retirement. The Company purchased life insurance contracts
that may be used to fund the payments. The charge to expense is based on the
present value computations of anticipated liabilities. For the years ended June
30, 2003 and 2002, the total expense was $82,504 and to $78,323, respectively.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan:
The Company has established an ESOP for eligible employees who meet certain age
and service requirements. The ESOP borrowed $368,048 from Eagle Bancorp and used
the funds to purchase 46,006 shares of common stock in the Offering. The Bank
makes periodic contributions to the ESOP sufficient to satisfy the debt service
requirements of the loan that has a ten-year term and bears interest at 8%. The
ESOP uses these contributions, and any dividends received by the ESOP on
unallocated shares, to make principal and interest payments on the loan.
Shares purchased by the ESOP are held in a suspense account by the plan trustee
until allocated to participant accounts. Shares released from the suspense
account are allocated to participants on the basis of their relative
compensation in the year of allocation. Participants become vested in the
allocated shares over a period not to exceed seven years. Any forfeited shares
are allocated to other participants in the same proportion as contributions.
Total ESOP expense of $88,585 and $62,303 was recognized in fiscal 2003 and 2002
for 4,600 shares committed to be released to participants during the years ended
June 30, 2003 and 2002 with respect to the plan years ending December 31, 2002
and 2001. The cost of the 29,906 ESOP shares ($239,248 at June 30, 2003) that
have not yet been allocated or committed to be released to participants is
deducted from stockholders' equity. The fair value of these shares was
approximately $837,368 at that date.
Stock Incentive Plan:
The Company adopted the Stock Incentive Plan (the Plan) on October 19, 2000. The
Plan provides for different types of awards including stock options, restricted
stock and performance shares. Under the Plan, 23,000 shares of restricted stock
were granted to directors and certain officers during fiscal 2001. These shares
of restricted stock vest in equal installments over five years beginning one
year from the grant date.
During fiscal 2003 and 2002, 4,600 shares vested and were removed from treasury
stock resulting in compensation expense of $52,900.
There were no stock options granted under the Plan as of June 30, 2003.

NOTE 16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
--------------------------------
All financial instruments held or issued by the Company are held or issued for
purposes other than trading. In the ordinary course of business, the Company
enters into off-balance sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to
extend credit and forward delivery commitments for the sale of whole loans to
the secondary market.
Commitments to extend credit - In response to marketplace demands, the Company
routinely makes commitments to extend credit for fixed rate and variable rate
loans with or without rate lock guarantees. When rate lock guarantees are made
to customers, the Company becomes subject to market risk for changes in interest
rates that occur between the rate lock date and the date that a firm commitment
to purchase the loan is made by a secondary market investor.
Generally, as interest rates increase, the market value of the loan commitment
goes down. The opposite effect takes place when interest rates decline.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as the
borrower satisfies the Company's underwriting standards and related provisions
of the borrowing agreements. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates
or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The Company uses
the same credit policies in making commitments to extend credit as it does for
on-balance-sheet instruments. Collateral is required for substantially all
loans, and normally consists of real property. The Company's experience has been
that substantially all loan commitments are completed or terminated by the
borrower within 3 to 12 months.

NOTE 16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
--------------------------------------------
The notional amount of the Company's commitments to extend credit at fixed and
variable interest rates were approximately $4,144,000 and $2,287,000 at June 30,
2003 and 2002, respectively. Fixed rate commitments are extended at rates
ranging from 4.375% to 8.00% and 3.75% to 9.75% at June 30, 2003 and 2002,
respectively. The Company has lines of credit representing credit risk of
approximately $16,245,000 and $12,912,000 at June 30, 2003 and 2002,
respectively, of which approximately $7,055,000 and $6,434,000 had been drawn at
June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Company has credit cards issued
representing credit risk of approximately $2,830,000 and $2,645,000 at June 30,
2003 and 2002, respectively, of which approximately $450,000 and $424,000 had
been drawn at June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Company has letters of
credits issued representing credit risk of approximately $133,000 and $131,000
at June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Forward delivery commitments - The Company uses mandatory sell forward delivery
commitments to sell whole loans. These commitments are also used as a hedge
against exposure to interest-rate risks resulting from rate locked loan
origination commitments on certain mortgage loans held-for-sale. Gains and
losses in the items hedged are deferred and recognized in other comprehensive
income until the commitments are completed. At the completion of the commitments
the gains and losses are recognized in the Company's income statement
As of June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company had entered into commitments to
deliver approximately $15,208,000 and $5,625,000 respectively, in loans to
various investors, all at fixed interest rates ranging from 4.125% to 6.50% and
5.75% to 7.25%, at June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Company had
approximately $99,000 and $19,000 of gains deferred as a result of the forward
delivery commitments entered into as of June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
The total amount of the gain is expected to be taken into income within the next
twelve months.
The Company did not have any gains or losses reclassified into earnings as a
result of the ineffectiveness of its hedging activities. The Company considers
its hedging activities to be highly effective.
The Company did not have any gains or losses reclassified into earnings as a
result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedges because it was probable that
the original forecasted transaction would not occur by the end of the originally
specified time frame as of June 30, 2003.
NOTE 17. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
----------------------------------------------
The estimated fair value amounts of financial instrument have been determined by
the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation
methodologies. However, considerable judgement is necessarily 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.
Investment securities and stock in the FHLB - The fair value of investment
securities is estimated based on bid prices published in financial newspapers or
bid quotations received from securities dealers. The fair value of stock in the
FHLB approximates redemption value.
Loans receivable and mortgage loans held-for-sale - 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, including loans held-for-sale, 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

================================================================================
NOTE 17. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
----------------------------------------------------------
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.
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.
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 - The fair value of the Company's short-term advances are
estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the interest rate that
would be effective June 30, 2003, if the advances repriced according to their
stated terms. The fair value of the Company's putable advances are valued at
amounts received from the FHLB.
