NOTE 7. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal (or most advantageous) market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability shall not be adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact and (iv) willing to transact.

NOTE 7. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES - continued

SFAS 157 requires the use of valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount on a discounted basis. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement costs). Valuation techniques should be consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

•

Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

•

Level 2 Inputs – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

•

Level 3 Inputs – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect an entity’s own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.

In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value.

While management believes the Company’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

Investment Securities Available for Sale – Securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U. S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayments speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things.

Preferred Stock - SFAS 159 – Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae preferred stock are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U. S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayments speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things.

Loans Held for Sale – These loans are reported at the lower of cost or fair value. Fair value is determined based on expected proceeds based on sales contracts and commitments and are considered Level 2 inputs.

Impaired Loans – Impaired loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Collateral values are estimated using Level 3 inputs based on internally customized discounting criteria.

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.

The following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2009, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value (dollars in thousands):

	Level 1	Level 2		Level 3	Total Fair
	Inputs	Inputs		Inputs	Value

Investment securities available-for-sale	$	$	76,005	$	$
Preferred stock - SFAS 159			20
Loans held-for-sale			7,374

Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). The following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of March 31, 2009, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value (dollars in thousands):

	Level 1	Level 2		Level 3	Total Fair
	Inputs	Inputs		Inputs	Value

Impaired loans	$	$	-	$	$
Mortgage servicing rights			1,881

As of March 31, 2009, certain impaired loans were remeasured and reported at fair value through a specific valuation allowance allocation of the allowance for possible loan losses based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral. Impaired loans with a carrying value of $40 were reduced by specific valuation allowance allocations totaling $40 to a total reported fair value of $0 based on collateral valuations utilizing Level 3 valuation inputs.

As of March 31, 2009, mortgage servicing rights were remeasured and reported at fair value through a valuation allowance based upon the fair value of the calculated servicing rights. Servicing rights with a carrying value of $1,928 were reduced by the valuation allowance totaling $47 to a total reported fair value of $1,881 based on collateral valuations utilizing Level 2 valuation inputs.

NOTE 8. RECENTLY ISSUED PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48).” The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Benefits from tax positions must be recognized in the financial statements only when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority that would have full knowledge of all relevant information. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold must be recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold must be derecognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met. FIN 48 also provides guidance on the accounting for and disclosure of unrecognized tax benefits, interest and penalties. The new interpretation was effective for the Bank January 1, 2007. The implementation of the provisions of the new interpretation did not have a significant impact on the Bank’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. The Bank files income tax returns in the U. S. federal jurisdiction and is no longer subject to U. S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2005.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 (a) amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and the deconsolidation of a subsidiary; (b) changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented; (c) establishes a single method of accounting for changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation; (d) requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated; and (e) requires expanded disclosures in the consolidated financial statements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent’s owners and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. The accounting provisions of SFAS 160 must be applied prospectively, but the presentation and disclosure requirements must be applied retrospectively to provide comparability in the financial statements. Early adoption is prohibited. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is in the process of determining the impact of adopting this new accounting principle on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations—a replacement of FASB No. 141 (“SFAS 141(R)”). SFAS 141(R) requires (a) a company to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at fair value as of the acquisition date; and (b) an acquirer in preacquisition periods to expense all acquisition-related costs, among various other modifications to SFAS No. 141. SFAS 141(R) requires that any adjustments to an acquired entity’s deferred tax asset and liability balance that occur after the measurement period be recorded as a component of income tax expense. This accounting treatment is required for business combinations consummated before the effective date of SFAS No. 141(R) (non-prospective), otherwise SFAS 141(R) must be applied prospectively. The presentation and disclosure requirements must be applied retrospectively to provide comparability in the financial statements. Early adoption is prohibited. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The impact of this standard is dependent upon the level of future acquisitions.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 requires companies to provide qualitative disclosures about the objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative data about the fair value of gains and losses on derivative contracts, and details of credit-risk-related contingent features in their hedged positions. The statement also requires companies to disclose more information about the location and amounts of derivative instruments in financial statements; how derivatives and related hedges are accounted for under SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities; and how the hedges affect the entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company will comply with the disclosure provisions of SFAS 161 to the extent it has entered into derivative transactions in the year of adoption.

On November 14, 2008, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued its long-anticipated proposed International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) roadmap outlining milestones that, if achieved, could lead to mandatory transition to IFRS for U.S. domestic registrants starting in 2014. IFRS is a comprehensive series of accounting standards published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Under the proposed roadmap, the Company could be required through its parent company to prepare financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and the SEC will make a determination in 2011 regarding the mandatory adoption of IFRS for U.S. domestic registrants. Management is currently assessing the impact that this potential change would have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and will continue to monitor the development of the potential implementation of IFRS.

Overview

The Company’s primary activity is its ownership of its wholly owned subsidiary, American Federal Savings Bank (the “Bank”). The Bank is a federally chartered savings bank, engaging in typical banking activities: acquiring deposits from local markets and investing in loans and investment securities. The Bank’s primary component of earnings is its net interest margin (also called spread or margin), the difference between interest income and interest expense. The net interest margin is managed by management (through the pricing of its products and by the types of products offered and kept in portfolio), and is affected by moves in interest rates. Noninterest income in the form of fee income and gain on sale of loans adds to the Bank’s income.

The Bank has a strong mortgage lending focus, with the majority of its loans in single-family residential mortgages. This has led to successfully marketing home equity loans to its customers, as well as a wide range of shorter term consumer loans for various personal needs (automobiles, recreational vehicles, etc.). In recent years the Bank has focused on adding commercial loans to its portfolio, both real estate and non-real estate. The purpose of this diversification is to mitigate the Bank’s dependence on the mortgage market, as well as to improve its ability to manage its spread. The Bank’s management recognizes the need for sources of fee income to complement its margin, and the Bank now maintains a significant loan serviced portfolio, which provides a steady source of fee income. The gain on sale of loans also provides significant fee income in periods of high mortgage loan origination volumes. Fee income is also supplemented with fees generated from the Bank’s deposit accounts. The Bank has a high percentage of non-maturity deposits, such as checking accounts and savings accounts, which allows management flexibility in managing its spread. Non-maturity deposits do not automatically reprice as interest rates rise, as do certificates of deposit.

Recently, management’s focus has been on improving the Bank’s core earnings. Core earnings can be described as income before taxes, with the exclusion of gain on sale of loans and adjustments to the market value of the Bank’s loan serviced portfolio. Management believes that the Bank will need to continue to focus on increasing net interest margin, other areas of fee income, and control operating expenses to achieve earnings growth going forward. Management’s strategy of growing the bank’s loan portfolio and deposit base is expected to help achieve these goals: loans typically earn higher rates of return than investments; a larger deposit base will yield higher fee income; increasing the asset base will reduce the relative impact of fixed operating costs. The biggest challenge to the strategy is funding the growth of the Bank’s balance sheet in an efficient manner.

Financial Condition

Comparisons of results in this section are between the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008.

Net loans receivable increased $4.49 million, or 2.67%, to $172.64 million at March 31, 2009 from $168.15 million at June 30, 2008. Commercial real estate and land loans showed the largest increase of $7.92 million in the nine month period. Residential mortgages and real estate construction both decreased by $3.45 million and $2.49 million, respectively (see Note 3 to the financial statements on page 9 for more details). Total loan originations were $136.69 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, with single family mortgages accounting for $96.09 million of the total. Home equity and commercial real estate and land loan originations totaled $12.13 million and $18.40 million, respectively, for the same period. Construction loan originations (including those for commercial real estate and land development loans) totaled $2.49 million. Consumer loan originations totaled $4.95 million. Loans held for sale remained at $7.37 million for both periods. Investment securities available-for-sale (AFS) decreased $2.41 million, or 3.08%, to $76.01 million at March 31, 2009 from $78.42 million at June 30, 2008. Mortgage backed securities decreased $4.04 million, which was the largest decrease in the investment category.

Deposits increased $13.14 million, or 7.35%, to $191.99 million at March 31, 2009 from $178.85 million at June 30, 2008. Time certificates of deposit accounts had the largest increase, followed by interest-bearing checking. Noninterest checking, money market accounts, and savings accounts also increased (see Note 4 to the financial statements on page 10 for more details). Advances and other borrowings increased $4.25 million, to $69.47 million from $65.22 million.

The increase in total equity was attributable to earnings for the nine months of $1.48 million offset by an increase in other comprehensive loss of $452,000 (due to an increase in net unrealized loss on securities available-for-sale), and by purchases of treasury stock and the payment of three quarterly $0.255 per share regular cash dividends.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 and 2008

Net Income. Eagle’s net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $1.06 million and $538,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase of $521,000, or 96.84%, was due to increases in noninterest income of $907,000 and net interest income of $475,000, offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $490,000 and provision for loan losses of $72,000. Also, Eagle’s tax provision was $299,000 higher in the current quarter. Basic earnings per share were $0.99 for the current period, compared to $0.50 for the previous year’s period.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $475,000 for the current quarter. Total interest and dividend income increased $348,000, while interest expense decreased $127,000.

Interest and Dividend Income. Total interest and dividend income was $3.82 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared to $3.47 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, representing an increase of $348,000, or 10.02%. Interest and fees on loans increased to $2.86 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $2.75 million for the same period ended March 31, 2008. This increase of $112,000, or 4.07%, was due primarily to the increase in the average balances on loans. Average balances for loans receivable, net, increased for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 to $180.58 million, compared to $166.52 million for the previous year. This represents an increase of $14.06 million, or 8.44%. The average interest rate on loans decreased by 27 basis points, from 6.61% to 6.34%.

Interest and dividends on investment securities available-for-sale (AFS) increased to $959,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 from $692,000 for the same quarter last year. Average balances on investments increased to $76.35 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared to $61.05 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The average interest rate earned on investments increased to 5.06% from 4.59%, or 47 basis points.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense decreased to $1.51 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, from $1.64 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $127,000, or 7.75%. Interest on deposits decreased $326,000 or 29.74%. This decrease was due to decreases in average rates paid, as average balances increased. The average rate paid on deposits decreased to 1.79% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 down from 2.69% for the same quarter last year. The average deposit balance increased to $171.76 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $162.84 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Certificates of deposit had a significant decrease in average rates paid. Its average rate decreased from 4.24% down to 2.93%, a reduction of 131 basis points, while rates on savings and money market accounts had considerable decreases of 15 and 91 basis points, respectively. Interest on advances and other borrowings increased $199,000 or 42.52%. A significant increase in the average balance of borrowings, resulted in an increase in interest paid on borrowings to $667,000 in the current quarter compared to $468,000 in the previous year’s quarter. The average rate on borrowings, however, decreased from 4.79% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 to 4.06% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

Provision for Loan Losses. Provisions for loan losses are charged to earnings to maintain the total allowance for loan losses at a level considered adequate by the Bank, to provide for probable loan losses based on prior loss experience, volume and type of lending conducted by the Bank, past due loans in portfolio, and local and national economies. The Bank’s policies require the review of assets on a quarterly basis. The Bank classifies loans as well as other assets if warranted. While the Bank believes it uses the best information available to make a determination with respect to the allowance for loan losses, it recognizes that future adjustments may be necessary. A $72,000 provision for loan losses was made for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, while none was made for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Total classified assets increased from $106,000 at June 30, 2008 to $1.15 million at March 31, 2009. The Bank currently has no foreclosed real estate.

Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income increased to $1.53 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, from $619,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, an increase of $907,000 or 146.53%. This was primarily due to increases in gain on sale of loans of $658,000, and $214,000 in mortgage loan servicing fees. The mortgage loan servicing fee includes an adjustment of $192,000 to the mortgage servicing rights valuation allowance to reflect an increase in value during the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased by $490,000, or 27.83%, to $2.25 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, from $1.76 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. This increase was primarily due to increases in amortization of mortgage servicing rights of $158,000, salaries and benefits of $112,000, occupancy expense of $36,000 and in-house computer expense of $31,000. The increase in amortization of mortgage servicing rights is due to a higher rate of loan prepayments compared to the prior period’s quarter resulting in a higher amount of mortgage servicing rights written off for prepaid or refinanced loans. The salaries and benefits increase was due to a slightly larger staff, merit raises and other inflationary items. The occupancy and in-house computer expenses increase was partly due to the costs associated with the establishment of a new branch in Helena in January 2009. Other expense categories showed minor changes.

Income Tax Expense. Eagle’s income tax expense was $454,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared to $155,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was 30.00% and was 22.37% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2009 and 2008

Net Income. Eagle’s net income was $1.48 million and $1.22 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase of $262,000, or 21.46%, was due to an increase in net interest income of $1.59 million, offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $940,000, a decrease in noninterest income of $6,000, and an increase in provision for loan loss of $106,000. Eagle’s tax provision was $279,000 higher in the current nine month period. Basic earnings per share were $1.39 and $1.14 for the nine month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased to $5.32 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 from $5.01 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. This increase of $309,000 was the result of an increase in interest income of $1.02 million, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $711,000.

Interest and Dividend Income. Total interest and dividend income was $11.58 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $10.38 million for the same period ended March 31, 2008, an increase of $1.21 million, or 11.61%. Interest and fees on loans increased to $8.65 million for 2009 from $8.17 million for 2008. This increase of $485,000, or 5.94%, was due primarily to an increase in the average balances for loans receivable, net, for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. Average balances for loans receivable, net, for this period were $178.43 million, compared to $164.45 million for the previous year’s period. This is an increase of $13.98 million, or 8.50%. The average interest rate earned on loans receivable decreased by 16 basis points, to 6.46%. Interest and dividends on securities available-for-sale (AFS) increased to $2.90 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 from $2.12 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. Interest on securities held-to-maturity (HTM) decreased to $15,000 from $26,000. Average balances on investment securities increased to $78.30 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $63.40 million for the same period ended March 31, 2008. The average interest rate earned on investments increased 46 basis points, to 4.97% from 4.51%.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense decreased to $4.67 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 from $5.06 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $388,000 million, or 7.68%. Interest on deposits decreased to $2.46 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 from $3.45 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. This decrease of $990,000, or 28.68%, was the result of a decrease in average rates paid on deposit accounts accompanied by a modest increase in average balances in deposit accounts. Average rates paid on deposits decreased 86 basis points from 2008 to 2009. Average rates paid on certificates of deposit, money market accounts, and savings accounts all decreased, while interest bearing checking accounts rates increased, due to a change in checking account product offerings. Average balances in interest-bearing deposits increased to $168.27 million for the nine month period ended March 31, 2009 compared to $163.97 million for the same period in the previous year. Interest paid on borrowings increased to $2.21 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 from $1.60 million for the same period ended March 31, 2008. The increase was due to increases in the average balances of borrowings from $43.79 million in 2008 to $72.77 million in 2008. The average rate paid on borrowings decreased 87 basis points from 2008 to 2009.

Provision for Loan Losses. Provisions for loan losses are charged to earnings to maintain the total allowance for loan losses at a level considered adequate by the Bank, to provide for probable loan losses based on prior loss experience, volume and type of lending conducted by the Bank, available peer group information, and past due loans in portfolio. The Bank’s policies require the review of assets on a quarterly basis. The Bank classifies loans as well as other assets if warranted. While the Bank believes it uses the best information available to make a determination with respect to the allowance for loan losses, it recognizes that future adjustments may be necessary. Provision for loan losses for the nine month period ended March 31, 2009 was $106,000 and zero for the nine month periods ended March 31, 2008. Total classified assets increased from $106,000 at June 30, 2008 to $1.15 million at March 31, 2009. The Bank currently has no foreclosed real estate.

Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income remained the same at $1.47 million for both nine months ended March 31, 2009, and 2008. Net gain on sale of loans increased by $723,000 which was offset by an increase in net loss on SFAS 159 securities of $754,000 and was principally attributable to losses on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac preferred stock in the first quarter. The other items in noninterest income had minor changes. The net gain on sale of loans increased due a significant increase in loans sold on the secondary market compared to the prior period. The increase in sales was the result of a significant increase in mortgage loan orginations experienced during the period resulting from the very low rates currently available on mortgage loans. 1-4 family mortgage loan originations increased from $40.42 million for the nine month period ended March 31, 2008 to $96.09 million for the nine month period ended March 31, 2009, an increase of $55.67 million, or 137.73%.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased by $940,000, or 18.02%, to $6.16 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, from $5.22 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. This increase was primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits of $350,000, occupancy expense of $56,000, in-house computer expense of $58,000, advertising of $83,000, amortization of mortgage servicing rights of $154,000, and federal insurance premiums of $55,000. The increase in salaries and benefits was due to a slightly larger staff, increases in incentive pay, normal raises and other inflationary items such as health insurance premiums. The increase in occupancy expenses was due to the new branch in Helena area repair and maintenance items. The increase in in-house computer expense was due to opening a new branch in Helena and other inflationary increases. The increase in advertising was the result of a new checking account product promotion and a direct market mailing campaign. The increase in amortization of mortgage servicing rights was due to a higher rate of loan prepayments compared to the prior period (resulting in a higher amount of mortgage servicing rights written off on loans that were prepaid or refinanced). Other categories of noninterest expense showed modest increases.

Income Tax Expense. Eagle’s income tax expense was $635,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $356,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 was 29.98% and was 22.57% for the nine months ended March 31, 2008.

Liquidity, Interest Rate Sensitivity and Capital Resources

The Company’s subsidiary, American Federal Savings Bank (the Bank), is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as defined by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) regulations. The OTS has eliminated the statutory requirement based upon a percentage of deposits and short-term borrowings. The OTS states that the liquidity requirement is retained for safety and soundness purposes, and that appropriate levels of liquidity will depend upon the types of activities in which the company engages. For internal reporting purposes, the Bank uses the previous regulatory definitions of liquidity. The Bank’s average liquidity ratio was 9.22% and 9.08% for the months ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008, respectively.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Liquidity, Interest Rate Sensitivity and Capital Resources - continued

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 and other borrowings. 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.

Liquidity may be adversely affected by unexpected deposit outflows, higher interest rates paid by competitors, and similar matters. Management monitors projected liquidity needs and determines the level desirable, based in part on commitments to make loans and management’s assessment of the bank’s ability to generate funds.

At December 31, 2008 (the most recent report available), the Bank’s measure of sensitivity to interest rate movements, as measured by the OTS, improved from the previous quarter. The Bank’s capital ratio as measured by the OTS increased slightly during the same period. The Bank is well within the guidelines set forth by the Board of Directors for interest rate risk sensitivity.

As of March 31, 2009, the Bank’s regulatory capital was in excess of all applicable regulatory requirements. At March 31, 2009, the Bank’s tangible, core, and risk-based capital ratios amounted to 9.08%, 9.08%, and 13.14%, respectively, compared to regulatory requirements of 1.5%, 3.0%, and 8.0%, respectively. See the following table (amounts in thousands):

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

Our financial statements and the accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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.
