To Our Stockholders, Customers, and Friends:
The Board of Directors, management, and staff of Eagle Bancorp and its wholly
owned subsidiary,
American Federal Savings Bank, are pleased to present our annual report for our
fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.
In this letter written one year ago, we stated our intent to "adjust our asset
mix by retaining more loans while reducing our investment activity." We were
able to grow our loans receivable by $14.4 million (from $92.4 million to $106.8
million) during the past fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. We reduced our
investment and mortgage-backed securities portfolio by approximately $12 million
over this same period. This resulted in a $400,000 increase in our net interest
income for the year. Net interest income is our main component of core earnings.
Total earnings for the year, however, decreased by $335,000 (approx. 16%)
compared to the previous fiscal year ending June 30, 2004. This was primarily
due to a decline in net gain on sale of loans and larger increases in the value
of our mortgage servicing rights recorded in 2004.
Our current plan is to continue strong growth in the loan portfolio, this time
funded by a combination of deposit growth and Federal Home Loan Bank advances
rather than a reduction in the investment portfolio. This should lead to a
corresponding growth in asset size.
In order to grow deposits, we are offering new certificate of deposit promotions
as well as a new money market deposit account for higher balance customers.
We have recently entered into a buy-sell agreement to purchase a building site
on Oak Street in Bozeman. In recent years, Bozeman has been our fastest growing
market. Our 25 year old Bozeman office is inadequate to fully participate in the
expected continued growth. Therefore, rather than remodel, we chose to relocate
one mile away to a newly constructed facility expected to open in the spring of
2007.
Our stock has recently been trading in a range of approximately $32 to $33 per
share (approx. the same as this time last year). After a 4 year rise from our
April 2000 initial offering price of $8, our stock price has leveled off along
with much of our community banking industry as investors await the impact on
earnings of the Federal Reserve Bank efforts to slowly increase interest rates.
We have taken advantage of the pause in our share price increase to repurchase
shares. $3.9 million in treasury stock has been purchased during the past fiscal
year.
Montana's strong economy and our resulting very high asset quality, along with
our very strong capital position, have allowed us to again increase our
quarterly cash dividend to $0.20 per share, an increase of $0.02 per share or
11% over the previous quarterly dividend. At a share price of $32.00, this would
be a dividend yield of 2.5%.
We are very proud of our exceptionally dedicated employees! Their loyalty is
demonstrated by our recent determination that 60% of them have been employed by
our community bank for over 5 years (19% over 20 years, plus 22% for 10-20
years, plus 19% for 5-10 years). Their experience and professionalism make it
possible for us to deliver on our slogan "Banking with a personal touch ".
In addition to serving our customers, they also make it possible to serve our
other constituencies - stockholders and communities. Thank you for the privilege
and for your trust in us!
Very Sincerely,
/s/ Larry A. Dreyer

PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
General
Eagle Bancorp ("Eagle" or "the Company"), a federally chartered stock holding
company holds 100% of the Stock of American Federal Savings Bank ("American
Federal" or "the Bank"). Its charter was approved on April 4, 2000, when it
became the mid-tier stock holding company for 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. 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 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 five automated teller machines
located in our market area and we participate in the CashCard ATM network. The
bank's website can be found at www.americanfederalsavingsbank.com.
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 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 been more cyclical in nature and remain vulnerable
to severe weather conditions, increased competition, both domestic and
international, as well as commodity prices.
1
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 Silver-Bow County have a population of approximately 34,600. Butte's
population has declined as a result of the decline in the energy and
telecommunications industries, which had afforded many higher paying jobs to
residents of Butte and Silver-Bow 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. Historically, 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 68 credit unions in
Montana as well as three federally chartered thrift institutions, and 81
commercial banks as of June 30, 2005. 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
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 $570,000 and $544,000 for the years ended June 30, 2005 and
2004, respectively. A write-down of the mortgage servicing rights in the amount
of $735,000 was added to the valuation allowance in 2003. Of that amount
$696,000 was taken back into income in 2004 reflecting increased interest rates
and lower payoffs of outstanding loans serviced. In 2005, $14,000 of the
valuation allowance was taken back into income. These amounts are 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 $103,000 and $89,000 for the years ended
June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Loan Maturity Schedule.
The following table sets forth the estimated maturity of the loan portfolio of
the Bank at June 30, 2005. 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
The 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 52.68% of the bank's loans as of June 30, 2005
were comprised of such loans. American Federal 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. The 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 and 20-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.
The Bank obtains a significant portion of its noninterest income from servicing
loans sold. The 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 $570,000 (before adjustments to the
valuation allowance on Mortgage Servicing Rights) for the year ended June 30,
2005. At June 30, 2005, American Federal Savings Bank had $199.73 million in
residential mortgage loans sold with servicing retained. American Federal
Savings Bank does not ordinarily purchase home mortgage loans from other
financial institutions.
5
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, 2005, $16.80
million or 15.66% 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 and fixed 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 generally 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 13.77% of the Bank's total loan
portfolio, or $14.78 million at June 30, 2005. 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 $151,000 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 $1,540,000 on June 30, 2005, and was secured by a commercial
building. This loan contains a 90 percent government guaranty under the USDA
Rural Development Program.
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 sale in the future. Real estate construction loans accounted
for $2.72 million or 2.54% of American Federal's loan portfolio at June 30,
2005.
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, 2005, consumer loans
totaled $10.91 million or 10.16% 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.
6
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 $5.57 million, or 5.19% of the Bank's total loan
portfolio at June 30, 2005. 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 5.19% of the total portfolio at June 30, 2005, 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, 2005,
our largest aggregation of loans to one borrower was approximately $1,540,000,
consisting of one commercial real estate loan secured primarily by a commercial
building. This was well below our federal legal lending limit to one borrower of
approximately $3.79 million at such date. At June 30, 2005, 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. We recently
added an online mortgage loan application and pre-approval feature to our
website. 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 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 (four) 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.
7
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,
and other loan categories for shorter time periods. The total amount of our
commitments to extend credit as of June 30, 2005, was approximately $6.38
million, of which $1.53 million was for residential mortgage loans.
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, 2005, American Federal Savings Bank had no real
estate owned.
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, 2005, we had $434,000 of loans that were non-performing
and held on non-accrual status.

The decrease in non-accrual loans during the year ended June 30, 2005, was
attributable primarily to two residential mortgage loans being removed from
non-accrual status. During the year ended June 30, 2005, the Bank had no
foreclosures.
During the year ended June 30, 2005, approximately $16,000 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 specific 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 $500,000 and each group of loans that exceeds $500,000 is monitored
more closely. The following table reflects our classified assets.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Real Estate Owned.
The 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. The
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 such as peer group
and national comparisons (used primarily when recent loss history is
inadequate). 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; and
changes in the outlook for the local, regional and national economy.
10
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 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 $573,000 in allowances for loan losses at June 30, 2005.
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.
The following table sets forth information with respect to our allowance for
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 related to loans committed to be sold
in the secondary market. Further, Eagle does not invest in securities which are
not rated investment grade.
12
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, 2005, our investment securities were U.S. government and agency
obligations, Small Business Administration pools, municipal securities,
mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and corporate
obligations, all with varying characteristics as to rate, maturity and call
provisions. Investment securities held-to-maturity represented 1.57% of Eagle's
total investment portfolio. Securities available-for-sale totaled 98.43% 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, 2005, 21.97% 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, 2005, 14.95% 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 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.
13
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, 2005, 31.89% of our investment portfolio (exclusive of
interest-bearing-deposits with banks) consisted of collateralized mortgage
obligations.
Other Securities.
Equity securities owned consist of a $1.32 million investment in Federal Home
Loan Bank of Seattle common stock and $1.80 million of corporate preferred stock
as of June 30, 2005. 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.
The following table sets forth the carrying value of Eagle's investment and
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 $119.18 million or 69.09% of the Bank's deposits at June 30, 2005
($94.51 million or 54.79% 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.

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 provides 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, 2005 are set forth below.
For Capital Adequacy
Actual Purposes
---------------------------- -------------------------------
Amount Ratio Amount Ratio
------------ ------------- --------------- -------------
(Dollars in thousands)
Tangible $24,613 11.77 $ 3,138 1.50
Leverage $24,613 11.77 $ 6,275 3.00
Tier 1 risk-based $24,613 17.29 $ 5,696 4.00
Total risk-based $25,161 17.69 $11,391 8.00
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.
19
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.
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,
2005, 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.
20
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.
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 had
recaptured all of it's remaining applicable excess reserve as of June 30, 2005.
21
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.
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, 2005, 44.87% of its total loans were residential mortgage loans with
fixed rates and 7.81% were residential mortgage loans with adjustable rates.
Total first lien mortgage loans at June 30, 2005, were $74.04 million or 68.99%
of the total loan portfolio. Other loan products include home equity loans,
consumer and commercial loans. These loans totaled $33.28 million or 31.01% 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.
24
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.

Rate/Volume Analysis
The following table sets forth information regarding changes in interest income
and interest expense for the periods indicated. For each category of our loans
and investments and our interest-bearing deposits and borrowings, information is
provided on changes attributable to change in volume (change in volume
multiplied by the old rate). The table also provides information on change in
rate (changes in rate multiplied by old volume). The combined effects of changes
in rate and volume have been allocated proportionately to the change due to rate
and the change due to volume.

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.
Overview
The Company's primary activity is owning its wholly owned subsidiary, American
Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank"). The Bank is a federally chartered savings
bank, engaging in typical banking activities: acquiring deposits from local
markets and investing in loans and investment securities. The Bank's primary
component of earnings is its net interest margin (also called spread or margin),
the difference between interest income and interest expense. The net interest
margin is managed by management (through the pricing of its products and by the
types of products offered and kept in portfolio), and is affected by moves in
interest rates. Noninterest income in the form of fee income and gain on sale of
loans adds to the Bank's income.
The Bank has a strong mortgage lending focus, with the majority of its loans in
single-family residential mortgages. This has led to successfully marketing home
equity loans to its customers, as well as a wide range of shorter term consumer
loans for various personal needs (automobiles, recreational vehicles, etc.). In
recent years the Bank has focused on adding commercial loans to its portfolio,
both real estate and non-real estate. The purpose of this diversification is to
mitigate the Bank's dependence on the mortgage market, as well as to improve its
ability to manage its spread. The Bank's management recognizes the need for
sources of fee income to complement its margin, and the Bank now maintains a
significant loan serviced portfolio, which provides a steady source of fee
income. The gain on sale of loans also provides significant fee income in
periods of high mortgage loan origination volumes. Fee income is also
supplemented with fees generated from the Bank's deposit accounts. The Bank has
a high percentage of non-maturity deposits, such as checking accounts and
savings accounts, which allows management flexibility in managing its spread.
Non-maturity deposits do not automatically reprice as interest rates rise, as do
certificates of deposit.
26
For the past year, management's focus has been on improving the Bank's core
earnings. Core earnings can be described as income before taxes, with the
exclusion of gain on sale of loans and adjustments to the market value of the
Bank's loan serviced portfolio. In the previous two fiscal years, the Bank
experienced very strong mortgage loan origination volume due to low interest
rates and large refinancing activity. If, as expected, interest rates rise,
mortgage volume will likely decrease (as has already been the case in the
current fiscal year), reducing this component of income. Management believes
that the Bank will need to focus on increasing net interest margin, other areas
of fee income, and control operating expenses to achieve earnings growth going
forward. Management's strategy of growing the bank's loan portfolio and deposit
base is expected to help achieve these goals: loans typically earn higher rates
of return than investments; a larger deposit base will yield higher fee income;
increasing the asset base will reduce the relative impact of fixed operating
costs.
The level and movement of interest rates impacts the Bank's earnings as well. In
the past year, the yield curve has flattened dramatically, i.e. short-term
interest rates have risen much more than long-term interest rates, with some
long-term rates actually declining in the past year. This can have a negative
impact on the Bank's net interest margin as its deposits are typically priced
relative to short-term rates, while the majority of its loan products are priced
relative to long-term rates. The Bank has been able to partially offset this
effect by reinvesting investment proceeds in the loan portfolio, because as
noted earlier, loans typically earn higher rates of return than investments.
Another factor which has impacted recent earnings has been the volatility in the
value of the Bank's mortgage servicing rights. The value declined significantly
in fiscal year 2003, only to recover almost the entire amount in fiscal year
2004. As short-term interest rates have risen over the last year, accompanied by
the expectation of increases in long-term interest rates, the value of the
servicing rights has risen to the point where only a small valuation allowance
is required at the present time. Comparisons of fiscal year 2005 to fiscal year
2004 will be affected by the large recovery of the valuation allowance that
happened in 2004.
Financial Condition
Introduction.
Total assets increased $3.40 million, or 1.67%, to $206.41 million at June 30,
2005, compared to $203.01 million at June 30, 2004. Total liabilities increased
by $5.16 million, or 2.88%, to $184.15 million at June 30, 2005, from $178.99
million at June 30, 2004. The loan portfolio grew over $14 million during the
year, due to a slowdown in mortgage prepayments and fewer loan sales. Deposit
growth was up slightly from the previous year's pace, with checking accounts
showing the largest increase.
Balance Sheet Details.
Reversing the trend of the previous three years, the available-for-sale (AFS)
investment portfolio decreased $13.32 million, or 15.04%, to $75.23 million at
June 30, 2005 from $88.55 million at June 30, 2004. Loans receivable increased
for the first time since FY 2001, growing $14.38 million, or 15.55% to $106.84
million from $92.46 million. As mentioned above, a slowdown in loan prepayments
and fewer loan sales contributed to the increase. Much of the growth in the loan
portfolio was funded by maturities and payments from the AFS investment
portfolio. Residential mortgage loans increased $7.49 million during the year,
and commercial real estate increased $5.44 million. Commercial real estate was
the only loan category which had an increase in loan originations compared to
the previous year. The Company purchased additional bank-owned life insurance
during the year to help offset rising employee benefit expenses, which
contributed to the increase in cash surrender value of life insurance of $2.57
million.
Total deposits increased $2.43 million. Non-interest checking increased $2.39
million, to $11.66 million at June 30, 2005 from $9.27 million at June 30, 2004.
Interest-bearing deposits increased slightly, to $160.84 million at June 30,
2005 from $160.80 million at June 30, 2004, an increase of $40,000, or 0.02%.
Certificates of deposit increased $2.74 million and interest-earning checking
accounts increased $1.50 million while money market accounts declined $3.58
million. Deposit growth is expected to continue to be difficult to achieve due
to fierce competition among financial institutions in our markets. Advances from
the Federal Home Loan Bank increased to $9.89 million at year-end 2005 from
$7.45 million at year-end 2004, an increase of $2.44 million. This increase was
needed to help fund loan growth.
Total shareholders' equity was $22.27 million at June 30, 2005, a decrease of
$1.75 million. This decrease was primarily attributable to the purchase of
treasury stock and dividend paid during the year, partially offset by net income
and the increase in accumulated other comprehensive income (caused by a
reduction in unrealized losses on the AFS investment portfolio).
27
Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ending June 30, 2005 and 2004
Net Income.
Eagle's net income was $1.743 million and $2.078 million for the years ended
June 30, 2005 and 2004 respectively. This decrease of $335,000, or 16.11%, was
primarily due to a decrease in noninterest income of $1.375 million, offset by
an increase in net interest income of $400,000 and a decrease in noninterest
expense of $19,000. Eagle's tax provision was $418,000 lower in 2005. Eagle also
incurred an extraordinary loss of $203,000 (net of tax benefit of $127,000) in
the fourth quarter of 2004. This was the result of prepayment penalties on FHLB
borrowings, which were paid off prior to maturity. Basic earnings per share for
the year ended June 30, 2005 were $1.55, compared to $1.76 for the year ended
June 30, 2004. Diluted earnings per share were $1.45 and $1.74 for 2005 and
2004, respectively.
Net Interest Income.
Net interest income (before provision for loan losses) increased to $6.480
million for the year ended June 30, 2005, from $6.080 million for the previous
year. This increase of $400,000, or 6.58%, was the result of a decrease in
interest expense of $631,000, partially offset by a decrease in interest and
dividend income of $231,000.
Interest and Dividend Income.
Total interest and dividend income was $9.043 million for the year ended June
30, 2005, compared to $9.274 million for the year ended June 30, 2004, a
decrease of $231,000, or 2.49%. Interest and fees on loans decreased to $6.117
million for 2005 from $6.266 million for 2004. This decrease of $149,000, or
2.38%, was due to a decrease in the average rate of loans receivable for the
year ended June 30, 2005 despite higher average balances. The average interest
rate earned on loans receivable decreased by 37 basis points, to 6.25% from
6.62%. Average balances for loans receivable, net, for the year ended June 30,
2005 were $97.89 million, compared to $94.70 million for the previous year. This
represents an increase of $3.19 million, or 3.37%. Interest and dividends on
investment securities available-for-sale (AFS) increased slightly to $2.807
million for the year ended June 30, 2005 from $2.790 million for the year ended
June 30, 2004, an increase of $17,000, or 0.61%. This increase was the result of
higher interest rates on the AFS portfolio during the year. Interest earned from
deposits at other banks decreased to $34,000 for the year ended June 30, 2005
from $49,000 for the year ended June 30, 2004. Lower balances contributed to the
decrease. Interest and dividends on investments held-to-maturity (HTM) decreased
$26,000, to $65,000 in 2005 compared to $91,000 in 2004 due to lower balances.
Interest Expense.
Total interest expense decreased to $2.563 million for the year ended June 30,
2005 from $3.194 million for the year ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of
$631,000, or 19.76%. Interest on deposits decreased to $2.395 million for the
year ended June 30, 2005 from $2.631 million for the year ended June 30, 2004.
This decrease of $236,000, or 8.97%, was the result of a decrease on average
rates paid and a decrease in average balances on deposit accounts. The average
cost of deposits dropped 13 basis points, to 1.49% in 2005 from 1.62% in 2004.
Certificates of deposit and money market accounts showed decreases in average
balances, while other categories showed slight increases. A decrease in the
average balance of borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank as well as a
decrease in the average rate paid resulted in a decrease in interest paid on
borrowings to $168,000 for the year ended June 30, 2005 from $562,000 for the
year ended June 30, 2004. The average balance of borrowings decreased to $5.093
million for the year ended June 30, 2005, compared to $9.072 million for the
year ended June 30, 2004. The average rate paid on borrowings declined to 3.30%
in 2005 from 6.21% in 2004.
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 management 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, 2005 or June
30,2004. 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 $760,000 at June 30, 2005 from $924,000 at
June 30, 2004. Total non-performing loans as a percentage of the total loan
portfolio is 0.47%. As of June 30, 2005, American Federal Savings Bank had no
real estate owned.
28
Noninterest Income.
Total noninterest income decreased to $2.058 million for the year ended June 30,
2005, from $3.433 million for the year ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $1.375
million or 40.05%. This decrease was primarily due to two factors: the decline
in net gain on sale of loans and the larger increases in the value of the Bank's
mortgage servicing rights recorded in 2004. Net gain on sale of loans is
$694,000 lower in 2005, due to lower mortgage origination volumes. The mortgage
servicing fees (where changes in the valuation of mortgage servicing rights are
recorded) is $657,000 lower in 2005. Demand deposit service charges decreased
$79,000 to $549,000 due to decreased income on overdraft charges. Other
noninterest income increased $123,000 to $480,000, primarily due to increased
income on bank owned life insurance and credit card and ATM related fees.
Noninterest Expense.
Noninterest expense decreased by $19,000 or 0.31% to $6.180 million for the year
ended June 30, 2005 from $6.199 million for the year ended June 30, 2004. This
decrease was primarily due to decreases in the amortization of mortgage
servicing fees of $249,000 and other noninterest expense of $71,000. The
decrease in amortization of mortgage servicing fees was related to decreased
prepayment activity on mortgage loans for the year. The decrease in other
noninterest expense was due to decreases in several categories. These decreases
were partially offset by increases in salaries and employee benefits of $157,000
and furniture and equipment depreciation of $56,000. The increase in salaries
and employee benefits was due to normal merit raises and a reduction in the
amount of salaries capitalized for SFAS 91 (as loan originations decline, the
amount of capitalized salary expense declines, thereby increasing salary
expense). Depreciation expense was higher due to the addition of new computer
equipment for check imaging.
Income Tax Expense.
Eagle's income tax expense was $615,000 for the year ended June 30, 2005,
compared to $1.033 million for the year ended June 30, 2004. The effective tax
rate for the year ended June 30, 2005 was 26.08% as opposed to 31.17% for the
year ended June 30, 2004.
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 16.18% and 17.21% for the months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004,
respectively. The Bank's liquidity decreased due to decreased investment
balances and the pledging of certain securities as collateral for FHLB
borrowings.
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 $3.62 million for the
year ended June 30, 2005 and $9.26 million for the year ended June 30, 2004. The
change was primarily a result of an increase in the amount of loans held for
sale, as opposed to last year's significant decrease in 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 $3.59 million
for the year ended June 30, 2005, and $14.57 million for the year ended June 30,
2004. The decline in cash used was primarily due to fewer purchases of
investment securities available-for-sale.
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 $596,000 for the year ended June 30, 2005, and ($574,000) for
the year ended June 30, 2004. This increase in cash provided was the result of
additional FHLB advances, offset by purchases of treasury stock.
29
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, 2005 (the most recent report available), the Bank's measure of
sensitivity to interest rate movements, as measured by the OTS, increased from
the previous quarter. The market value of the Bank's capital position has
improved slightly from the previous year. The Bank is well within the guidelines
set forth by the Board of Directors for interest rate sensitivity.
As of June 30, 2005, the Bank's regulatory capital was in excess of all
applicable regulatory requirements. At June 30, 2005, the Bank's tangible, core,
and risk-based capital ratios amounted to 11.8%, 11.8%, and 17.8%, respectively,
compared to regulatory requirements of 1.5%, 3.0%, and 8.0%, respectively.
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
None.
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 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.
30
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, 2005 and 2004, 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 standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles.

EAGLE BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2005 and 2004
NOTE l. REPORTING ENTITY
--------------------------------
Eagle Bancorp was organized in 2000 as the majority-owned subsidiary of Eagle
Financial, MHC, ("the Mutual Holding Company") 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 (OTS). 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.

June 30, 2005 and 2004
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, 2005
and 2004.
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. The FHLB redeemed 3,765 shares ($376,500)
during the year ended June 30, 2005 and 916 shares ($91,600) during the year
ended June 30, 2004.
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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
June 30, 2005 and 2004
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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, 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.
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, foreclosed assets held-for-sale, and mortgage servicing rights
management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
June 30, 2005 and 2004
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
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 quarterly 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
June 30, 2005 and 2004
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 $190,000 and $161,000 for the years ended June 30, 2005 and
2004, 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, 2005 and 2004, 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.

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 judgments 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, 2005 and
2004, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is
subject.

NOTE 4. REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS (CONTINUED)
-----------------------------------------------------------
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 $363,368 and $360,690 to the Company during the
years ended June 30, 2005, and 2004, respectively. The Company had paid four
quarterly dividends of $0.18 per share to its shareholders for the year ended
June 30, 2005, and four quarterly dividends of $0.16 per share to its
shareholders for the year ended June 30, 2004.
Liquidation Rights
All depositors who had liquidation rights with respect to the Bank as of the
effective date of the Reorganization continue to have such rights solely with
respect to the Mutual Holding Company, as long as they continue to hold deposit
accounts with the Bank. In addition, all persons who become depositors of the
Bank subsequent to the Reorganization will have liquidation rights with respect
to the Mutual Holding Company.
NOTE 5. RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS
-------------------------------------------------------
The Bank is required to maintain cash reserves on deposit with the Federal
Reserve Bank based on deposits, net of currency on-hand.
As of June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Bank was required to have aggregate cash
deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank of approximately $391,000 and $425,000,
respectively.
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, Fannie Mae, and the Guaranteed National Mortgage
Association. The amortized cost and estimated fair values of securities,
together with unrealized gains and losses, are as follows:

NOTE 14. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (CONTINUED)
--------------------------------------
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 $135,311 and $136,913 was recognized in fiscal 2005 and
2004, respectively, for 4,600 shares committed to be released to participants
during the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 with respect to the plan years
ending December 31, 2004 and 2003. The cost of the 20,706 ESOP shares ($165,648
at June 30, 2005) 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 $621,180 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 2005 and 2004, 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, 2005.

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 $6,549,000 and $3,297,000 at June 30,
2005 and 2004, respectively. Fixed rate commitments are extended at rates
ranging from 4.875% to 7.875% and 4.625% to 7.50% at June 30, 2005 and 2004,
respectively. The Company has lines of credit representing credit risk of
approximately $24,351,000 and $20,023,000 at June 30, 2005 and 2004,
respectively, of which approximately $12,516,000 and $6,024,000 had been drawn
at June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company has credit cards issued
representing credit risk of approximately $3,180,000 and $3,498,000 at June 30,
2005 and 2004, respectively, of which approximately $525,000 and $479,000 had
been drawn at June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company has letters of
credits issued representing credit risk of approximately $74,000 and $50,000 at
June 30, 2005 and 2004, 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, 2005 and 2004, the Company had entered into commitments to
deliver approximately $2,129,000 and $2,727,000 respectively, in loans to
various investors, all at fixed interest rates ranging from 5.00% to 5.75% and
5.00% to 8.50%, at June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company had
approximately $27,000 and $19,000 of gains deferred as a result of the forward
delivery commitments entered into as of June 30, 2005 and 2004, 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, 2005.

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 quotations received from securities
dealers. The fair value of stock in the FHLB approximates redemption value.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
June 30, 2005 and 2004
NOTE 17. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
--------------------------------------------------------
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.
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, 2005, if the advances repriced according to their
stated terms.
